Chapter 584 Apps with Different Styles

"This is probably what happened..."

Sitting opposite Shen Xin, Wang Wenhong told Shen Xin the final result of the Lunar New Year Cup.

Zuo Yuan's novel will be serialized in "Comic Future", while "Reverse Life" will be accepted by the app.

"Another author agrees to serialize on the app?" Shen Xin asked suspiciously.

"Of course I didn't want to at first. After all, "Comic Future" is the magazine with the most sales in China, and it is easier to appear in everyone's field of vision. But the app is a new product of Yishu Culture, and it will fight against the Duoman app in the future. Therefore, in the resources At the same time, the app will also provide responsible editors for the authors, and there will be some inclinations in the production of animations and the resources of the booklet."

"So, the works serialized on the app also need to be edited and followed up?" Shen Xin asked curiously.

"This is the case for the time being. Although it is a good idea to allow readers to select works, just like Duomanwang. However, after all, there is still "Comic Future", and the focus of Yishu culture is still single volumes and magazines." Wang Wenhong explained.

Shen Xin nodded.

Hearing Wang Wenhong's explanation, he understood roughly.

To put it simply, "Comic Future" and Duoman.com are taking two completely different paths.

Many comics are similar to online articles, and all the works are placed on the Internet for readers to choose.

The advantage of this is that the threshold for serialization is low, and the author can upload it by himself. As long as the author has sufficient funds, even if he can't make money, he can continue to serialize.

The downside is that the quality of serialized works is uneven because the threshold for serialization has been greatly lowered. If the works are not graded, the image of the website may be affected.

The app of "CF" obviously wants to be an app of high-quality comics. Moreover, relying on the powerful library of "Comic Future", the app will not lack content. If another twenty or thirty high-quality comics are released, the app will also attract people's attention. The place. The disadvantage is that the threshold is too high, which may be higher than that of some second-rate magazines, which may discourage some authors.

From the current point of view, it is hard to say that two kinds of quality apps will be better. One is to return the power to the authors, let them create by themselves, and attract readers with stories; the other is to strictly control and select high-quality works .

an app,

a style.

Huaxia's comic industry is so big that it can accommodate so many different types of apps.

Just like online novels, some websites are good at two-dimensional, some websites are good at urban or fantasy, some websites specialize in wireless literature, and some websites focus on IP.

But no matter what type of website, it has its own fans and supporters, and small platforms can also survive in the gaps between large platforms.

This is the Internet age.

"By the way, the sales volume of "Steel Refining" in December last year was also counted, 2.02 million. In two months, the sales volume exceeded 4 million copies. I don't think it will exceed 10 million copies in three or four months. Already." Wang Wenhong remembered the sales volume of the booklet.

"How can it be so fast?" Shen Xin waved her hand, "The first season of the animation is halfway through... After that, there will be 9 episodes of the original plot. No one can tell how the sales will change by then."

"Yes." Wang Wenhong nodded.

After all, it is an original plot. Although Shen Xin also put forward a lot of suggestions during the creation, and the setting is consistent with the follow-up plot of "Steel Refining". At the same time, the script has also been approved by Shoji Uno, but the finished product is still It is difficult to guarantee the recognition of readers.

"Fortunately, the plot of "Steel Refining" has started to improve recently, and the feedback from readers is also very enthusiastic." Wang Wenhong said with a smile, "Especially the new character--the artificial man Sloth who keeps digging tunnels--after appearing on the stage, directly Faced with the Elric brothers and Major General Olivia, they were splashed with a layer of mixed fuel and thrown into the snow. Many readers are curious about this new character, and it seems that he has not appeared much before."

"Sloss is 'lazy', he is the last artificial human to appear."

"Huh? There are only six now, right? If we rank them according to the 'seven original sins', there should be one less."

"Ah? That one has already come out, but his identity hasn't been revealed yet." Shen Xin rubbed her nose and smiled.

"It's already come out?" Wang Wenhong wrinkled his nose, recalling the role related to "Father", but he didn't remember who such a role was, and finally had to scratch his head, feeling depressed.

Thinking that he must know before the readers, I feel much happier inside.

"Xiao Han doesn't seem to be here..."

"She's downstairs. Isn't "Ding Shi" going to be released as a booklet this week? She's communicating with Sister Yan?" Shen Xin explained.

"That's right, many people are nervous about the sales of the booklet... I have to say, Mr. Shen is the calmest cartoonist I've ever met."

Shen Xin has black lines all over his head, how could he not be nervous?

The release of a single book is like a novel, especially the first volume, which determines the starting point of the manga. How can it be not nervous, but the problem is that it is useless.

Of course, the most important point is that even if the sales of "Steel Refining" are not good, he can still draw a comic without worrying about food and clothing.

For him, that's the most important thing.

But for Xi Muhan, it is not so simple.

Even though she has released a single book before, this time is obviously different. What she has to face is a brand new field, and she needs to prove herself with achievements. I hope she will not be too nervous.

...

"The first volume of "Ding Shi" will be printed with 200,000 copies for the first time, so don't put too much pressure on you." After Yan Fei put away the manuscript, she comforted the two of them.

Xi Muhan, who was typing, also stopped typing on the keyboard when he heard Yan Fei's words, and asked in confusion, "The first edition of 200,000 copies...the problem...isn't that big?"

"It's very problematic." Lu Ning, who was drawing at her desk, heard Xi Muhan's words, and immediately shook her head and explained, "A comic that sells 50,000 copies is already considered a good work, and a comic that sells 100,000 copies is considered a popular comic. It is not easy to give the first edition of 20 volumes to the first edition of the Ministry of Food. If we can't produce qualified results, there will be no first edition of 200,000 volumes in the future."

"Is...really? I saw that the sales of Brother Xin's new books were hundreds of thousands of copies in a single week. I thought everyone was like this."

"Please, shouldn't it be natural for the teacher's works to sell so high? No matter what he says, he is also the benchmark for domestic comics. If the sales volume in a single week is too low, what is the cartoonist going to do?" Lu Ning said with a wry smile.

That said, it seems to make sense.

Xi Muhan nodded slightly, "I didn't expect that the competition of manga is as fierce as that of light novels."

"Actually, if the teacher is willing, not to mention recommending "Ding Shi" in magazine interviews, even recommending it on Weibo, our pressure should be relieved a lot."

Xi Muhan quickly shook his head, asking Shen Xin to recommend "Ding Shi", what would he say?

This is my sister's work?

No, absolutely cannot be explained in this way.

"Xiaohan, I want to ask you something?" Yan Fei couldn't help asking when she saw Xi Muhan whose cheeks were slightly red.

"Um?"

"Your novels also have a good market and readers, why did you turn to comics?" Yan Fei asked puzzled.
