Chapter 480 Buying Books

Although in the second half of the year, Duoman.com made a lot of moves and disrupted the comics market, Shen Xin still felt that this was not the true strength or size of Duoman.com.

Now Duoman.com is attracting readers by booing its head and free of charge, but as time goes by, some readers will return to the magazine.

The Internet has an impact on magazines, and only when it comes out can comic magazines suffer greater threats.

Once web comics and magazines can compete with each other, it is also a good thing for cartoonists. Cartoonists can have more choices and make choices between different platforms. Whoever bids the most will be serialized on which platform.

By then, the living environment of cartoonists may improve a lot.

In addition to the planning for Duoman.com, Tong Yu also talked about his vision for Duoman.com.

"I hope that Duoman.com can carry the banner of the future of Huaxia comics. It can provide a fair and just platform for more outstanding cartoonists."

Shen Xin just listened to Tong Yu's words, but did not believe them.

After simple contact with Tong Yu, Shen Xin also realized that Tong Yu was not such a "simple" person.

Then again, as a businessman, maybe Tong Yu's approach is not wrong.

In the short 5-minute video, what surprised Shen Xin the most was Wang Yunze's words.

"Compared with traditional magazines, Duoman.com's platform will have great advantages. Moreover, your work is the first time-free and free comic. Is your next work far more popular than other comics?"

"Many comics are not serialized on the same platform, so it is not easy to compare directly, but I am very confident in my next comic. I believe that it will satisfy all of you when it comes out. As for whether it can surpass other comics, I would like to be able to compare with more comics, although I am older, but I will not admit defeat."

Then the screen switched to the hostess, but Wang Yunze's words still came out from the video, "Smelting Steel is very good, but I think I have a chance to win it."

Wang Yunze's sudden mention of "Steel Refining" shocked Shen Xin, who didn't understand the logical relationship between these words.

Afterwards, Shen Xin saw the end subtitles of the video, and then remembered that this is a cut video, which means that this video has been processed.

Some marketing accounts on the Internet are best at doing this kind of thing,

Cut the beginning and end of a video, choose ambiguous words, deliberately cause misunderstandings among the audience, and create heat.

This video may be the same. But since Wang Yunze didn't refute, it means that he also agrees with the content of the video, so what he said originally is not important.

After eating the buns, Shen Xin drank two sips of soy milk, Xi Muhan changed into loose casual clothes, tied her hair into a ponytail, and came down from the stairs.

"Brother Xin, what do you want to eat?"

"whatever."

Shen Xin is easy to talk, who told him that he can't cook?

"I remember there were two slices of salmon at home..."

"Can you do it?" Shen Xin asked curiously.

Salmon is a sea fish, so handling it is different from river fish.

"Don't be afraid, there are recipes." Xi Muhan shook his head, "By the way, Brother Xin, are you interested in creating food comics?"

"Not interested." Shen Xin answered directly.

Firstly, he doesn’t know much about food. If he really draws, he may need to consult a professional chef; secondly, he doesn’t read many food cartoons.

"Little Master of China" is considered one, but many people may not know that behind the comics of "Little Master", the plot has become weak. There are even rumors that "Little Master" was cut in half.

Regardless of whether this rumor is true or false, there are real problems in the later stage of the plot.

Another one is "Spirit of the Halberd Eater"... This one was okay in the early stage, but in the later stage, Fuda Yuto let himself go. Not only the plot is poisonous, but some settings are also contradictory. I guess Saeki Jun is also very helpless.

After all, Fuda Yuto is not Oba Tsugumi.

Xi Muhan stuck out his tongue and pulled out a cookbook from the bookshelf.

"By the way, it seems that the first issue of "ic future" is released today, right?" Shen Xin suddenly remembered this matter.

"Ah... I forgot..." Xi Muhan covered her mouth, she didn't think about it when she went out just now.

"Or, don't cook, let's press the road together and go to the bookstore. Come back and find a restaurant." Shen Xin turned around and asked with a straw in her mouth.

"Ah? Okay." Xi Muhan's eyes were bright, he nodded again and again, and put the recipe into the dining room casually, "By the way, don't forget to wear a hat."

"Huh?" Shen Xin scratched her head. He had just been interviewed by "Star Game", so it's better to be careful, so he found a peaked cap from the second floor.

The last time the two of them went out together was a long time ago. In fact, since Shen Xin didn't suspend the magazine, he rarely went out again.

The two left home together, took the subway to Nanjiatan.

Nanjiatan is the place where Hongchuan has the strongest two-dimensional atmosphere, and it is also the place where you can best understand the trend of comics.

It can be seen from a glimpse of the leopard in the tube.

By wandering around in Jiman Bookstore or other bookstores, it should be helpful to understand the current comics market.

The two of them got out of the subway and came directly to Jiman Bookstore.

Unlike the Spring Festival, New Year's Day is only a three-day holiday. Many people can't go home and can only stay in Hongchuan. Therefore, some people choose to stay in the bookstore.

There are a lot of customers in Jiman Bookstore, but it doesn't feel like crowding each other, it's just that the speed of moving forward will be very slow.

Shen Xin came to the magazine area, searched for a long time, but couldn't find "ic future", so she curiously asked the clerk on the side.

""ic future"? It's out of stock for now, and it's being transferred here from the library. If you're willing to wait, it will take about half an hour." The clerk explained.

"Sold so fast?" Xi Muhan asked in surprise.

Isn't the sales of "ic future" always bad?

"Well, it should be because of the re-serialization of "Hunting Abyss"? It may also be that Duoman.com started charging..."

Shen Xin was a little frustrated, and turned back to the new book section. The booth near the "Steel Refining" billboard was empty, except for a line written with a red marker——"Steel Refining" arrives tomorrow!

It seems that the sales of volume 9 of "Steel Refining" should be good.

Coming out of Jiman Bookstore, the two of them visited a nearby bookstore, where the latest issue of "ic future" was displayed. There were only a few copies left, but they were all wrapped in plastic. The trial magazine, which was supposed to allow readers to read in advance, has disappeared.

"Excuse me, do you want to watch "ic future"?"

A man's voice rang in Shen Xin's ear, he looked up quickly, but saw a clerk with a slightly red face, handing the sample book to Shen Xin with both hands.

Shen Xin raised her brows slightly when she saw this man. He must have seen this clerk somewhere before.

"Brother Xin..." Xi Muhan whispered in Shen Xin's ear.

"Oh. It's okay, I don't need to read it."

Shen Xin picked up a copy of "ic future" and walked towards the front desk, remembering where she saw this person.

A child ran past him, and the identity of the man appeared in his mind.

Shen Xin hurriedly turned her head to look at the clerk again, only to see that the clerk was a little cautious with his hands behind his back.

He met this clerk at last year's annual meeting.

Shen Xin remembered that this clerk seemed to be a cartoonist too, and had attended the annual meeting with a little girl.

"What's wrong?" Xi Muhan asked.

"No... nothing."

Shen Xin withdrew her gaze and handed the magazine to the cashier.
