Chapter 407: Wang Wenhong's Thoughts
"It's easy to say, but what about specific measures?" Hook asked.
There are only two ways to solve the current predicament, either to solve it internally, or to find suitable candidates from the outside.
The key is how to do it.
"The outside...is actually very simple. We look for suitable cartoonists from magazines other than "ComicFuture."
Poaching people, any big magazine has done it.
"However, cartoonists with such strength are basically the banners of major magazines, and it is impossible to be dug up." Jian Xiaomei reminded.
"I know. Mr. Shang just asked the method, but didn't ask how to solve it." Wang Wenhong said.
The editors present looked at Wang Wenhong angrily, but what he said was true, and the editor-in-chief did not ask about the implementation steps.
Shang Haozhi stroked his beard and remained silent.
Time seemed to have stopped, and every editor looked at Wang Wenhong, waiting for him to speak.
It took about half a minute before Shang Haozhi asked Wang Wenhong, "How to poach people from inside the magazine."
"It is to select one of the existing authors as the key person to be trained by the magazine." Wang Wenhong said seriously.
"Who to choose?" Shang Haozhi asked back.
Wang Wenhong spread his hands, "It goes without saying who I support, everyone should have their own candidates."
Shang Haozhi took off his glasses and rubbed his temples.
Wang Wenhong definitely supports Shen Xin, there is no doubt about it.
But what about everyone else?
Yan Fei supports Yu Chuanyao, Jian Xiaomei supports Ye Hexu, and Hu Ke supports Shi Yan?
Isn't this messed up?
"Is there any other way?" Shang Haozhi continued to ask.
Wang Wenhong rubbed his chin, he didn't have time to think about it.
"Also, we can recruit the backbone authors under Yishu Culture to ComicFuture."
"Xiao Wang, what we need most urgently is how to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Wang, not to find a group of hard-core authors."
This is what Shang Haozhi cares most about.
Wang Wenhong shook his head, he is not a god, how could he think of a solution so quickly?
"I object to such a proposal."
Just when everyone fell silent, Yan Fei spoke.
"The reason—" Shang Haozhi asked.
"Unfair to other authors."
As soon as Yan Fei finished speaking, the other editors nodded.
Although the writers under them are not as good as Shen Xin, they are all treasures to them.
"Then what do you mean?"
"Instead of asking for a banner author, it is better to ask for a work that can carry "ComicFuture". This work may even surpass the status of "Dragon King" in "ComicFuture."
Banner Works?
Shang Haozhi's eyes lit up, and before he had time to think about how to implement the plan, Wang Wenhong said softly, "I see".
"What do you know?" Shang Haozhi asked puzzled.
"Awards can be set-we can bypass the comic festival and directly set a grand prize to award to the work we think is the best. Well... It is based on the ranking of the small book or the total number of votes in a year. As long as the bonus is large enough, it will definitely It can inspire authors to draw high-quality comics. We can even contact the mainstream media and ask them to promote this work."
Shang Haozhi frowned slightly, and immediately picked up a pen to record what Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong said.
"But there is another problem. Our magazine still has a monthly magazine...what about the monthly magazine?" Jia Hui asked.
"A reader questionnaire of 4,000 sheets per issue?" Jian Xiaomei asked suspiciously.
"No, if there are five weeks in a month, wouldn't the monthly magazine be at a disadvantage?" Xu Jie questioned.
"Yes, then..."
"It's the same as the weekly magazine. If there are five magazines in January, 5,000 will be drawn." Shang Haozhi said, "This matter will be discussed first. If you have any better ways in the future, you can also propose it and discuss it together. Then Come down, there is one more important thing. Mr. Shen, Mr. Ye, Mr. Yuchuan, Mr. Shi... the editors of these four cartoonists,
Be sure to keep up with your authors, and don't let them be poached. ComicFuture can no longer afford to lose a single teacher. "
"I'm counting on you guys." Shang Haozhi said solemnly.
Wang Wenhong, Yan Fei, Jian Xiaomei and Hu Ke nodded immediately without any hesitation.
Things are bad for ComicFuture, but no worse.
Because bad, there is no lower limit.
Coming out of the conference room, Wang Wenhong sat in front of the computer, lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" Yan Fei was puzzled when she saw the silent Wang Wenhong when she was pouring tea.
"I'm thinking about something."
"What's the matter? Grand prize?"
"Tch, that's a question for the higher-ups to consider." Wang Wenhong waved his hands, but his eyes fell on the new editor.
"Xiao Ming, is the fan author you're talking about called 'Spiral'?"
Zhou Xiaoming raised his head, "Yes. What's wrong?"
"No. I was thinking, if the drawing skills of that fanfic author are very similar to Mr. Shen, it shouldn't be unknown."
Zhou Xiaoming's face immediately turned red, "Brother Wang, I don't need to lie to you, that painter's painting skills are really good."
"You misunderstood me...I mean, if he doesn't draw fan comics, he should also engage in a career related to comics." Wang Wenhong explained.
"A fan author... there's no need to care so much, right?"
"Don't forget, Mr. Shen is also from a fan author."
"Mr. Shen's painting is personal history." Yan Fei corrected.
Wang Wenhong rubbed his forehead, of course he knew that Shen Xin's drawing was a personal blog, otherwise he wouldn't have thrown away that comic.
Whoops, another bad memory.
"Instead of paying attention to the authors of the same person, you might as well pay attention to those cartoonists who are serialized on the Internet. Some of the cartoons they draw are quite good, and they are all original, which can better judge the strength of the author. Maybe there is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in it. ?”
"That's right." Wang Wenhong nodded, "By the way, have you found any particularly powerful authors on the Internet?"
"No, I haven't been to those forums for a long time." Yan Fei's face was full of helplessness, "Translate two comics, discuss the works with Tamagawa Haruka, and at the same time, write recommendations for the comics that need an electronic version-at all I don't have time to browse forums anymore."
"That's right. By the way, what forums do you go to? I'll go and have a look during Chinese New Year." Wang Wenhong asked.
"Should I text you later?"
"OK."
Wang Wenhong didn't have much contact with web cartoonists, so he didn't know their level, let alone why they chose to serialize comics online.
But there is one point, since these cartoonists have no editorial guidance, there must be certain flaws in their works, such as poor rhythm, clichéd beginnings, and plot routines, so they are not favored by editors.
Or, it is also possible that the painting skills are not good enough.
If you can find a good one on the Internet, and pair it with a cartoonist with good drawing skills, you may not be able to create a big hit.
This is not only of great benefit to the magazine, but also to a certain extent for his own future development.
