Five Hundred and Ninetieth IX Speculation and Crisis

"This is indeed a problem. We have discussed it on the way here." Wang Wenhong sighed.

"Um?"

"In fact, not only the booklets, but even the sales of magazines have declined."

"Really?" Shen Xin was taken aback.

"Well, in the last two weeks, the sales volume of the magazine was about 4.9 million copies. "The Hunting Abyss" is coming to an end. Many people bought the magazine for their feelings, but last week, the sales volume of the magazine suddenly decreased by 400,000 copies. Editor I thought it was due to fluctuations in sales, but I didn't expect that the sales of the booklets released at the same time would also drop. This would be fatal, otherwise, Mr. Shang would not be in a hurry to ask you to come out to sign books and win popularity." Wang Wenhong said with a look on his face. sad.

The new comics of "The King of Rock and Roll" dropped sharply from a peak of 600,000 copies in a single week to 140,000 copies, a drop as high as 3/4. Future", will also feel pressure.

"Could it be the D version?" Shen Xin asked back.

"The first thing we thought of was also the D version, but the D version does not exist now. Whether it is domestic or foreign, the D version is very early... No, it should be said that it appeared almost at the same time as the original version? In every forum , or in the penguin group, there must be a D version, and the stickers are not new. At that time, the sales of single volumes and magazines had little influence. So, we ruled out this factor. We also went to those forums, It's not very popular yet," Yan Fei explained.

"It's different." Shen Xin shook her head, "The present is different from the past."

"What's different?" Wang Wenhong asked puzzled.

"In the past... I didn't surf the Internet much." Shen Xin said with a wry smile.

"Ah? No matter what you say about Duoman.com, you won't do illegal things, right?" Yan Fei couldn't imagine that Duoman.com would produce the D version of "Comic Future".

Wang Wenhong pondered for a while, and an idea quickly flashed through his mind.

"I see……"

"Know what? Don't be fooled!" Yan Fei said impatiently.

"Mr. Shen is not talking about Duoman.com D using our comics, but the appearance of Duoman.com, which made some people realize that they can create a D-version comic website. This website also includes "Comic Future", "Manga Fly", "Flying", "Man Weekly",

Even Duomanwang's works... And, maybe all of them are free. "Wang Wenhong said in a deep voice.

"How...how can this be?" Xi Muhan asked in surprise.

If Wang Wenhong is right, who will buy magazines and booklets in the future?

"Speaking so much now is just guesswork, the key is to find these websites quickly, right?" Shen Xin reminded.

"Too."

"Xiaohan, let me use your notebook." Yan Fei turned to look at Xi Muhan.

"Yeah." Xi Muhan nodded quickly.

"Brother Wang, there are free desktop computers below..." Shen Xin pointed downstairs.

"Got it." Wang Wenhong immediately got up and walked downstairs.

"Xiaohan, Mr. Shen, don't take this matter to heart. Creation is important."

"But... the second volume of "Ding Shi" will be released soon." Xi Muhan fidgeted.

"Don't worry, there is a magazine! If it is really the reason for the D version, the magazine will definitely solve this matter before the release of "Ding Shi"." Yan Fei promised.

Hearing these words, Xi Muhan felt much relieved.

"The magazine is going to publish "The Journey of Two People", should you prepare for it?"

"Sister Yan, I wrote "The Journey of Two People" first and then changed the script, so I just need to revise it." Xi Muhan explained.

"Well, it's finished. Give it to me quickly, and I'll hand it over to Qing's editorial department for proofreading."

"Two People's Journey" is to make a fortune through the popularity of comics, so the quality requirements are not as high as magazines.

To put it more bluntly, it must be done before the end of "The Journey of Two People".

It's not hard to guess the reason why the magazine did this - to take advantage of this popularity to collect money.

When Yan Fei came downstairs with a notebook, Xi Muhan came to Shen Xin's side.

"Brother Xin, what do you think about this..."

"Huh? D version?"

"Hmm. I'm a little worried..." Xi Muhan felt uneasy.

"Ding Shi" has just started, the sales of the first volume are not bad, but the second volume has not yet been released, and this kind of thing happened, Xi Muhan's inner hesitation and entanglement can be imagined.

"Don't worry, the D version can't kill us." Shen Xin explained.

"That's good." Xi Muhan let out a long breath.

Shen Xin has more experience than her, sometimes... no, she has always relied on Shen Xin.

"But...we can't kill' the D version." Shen Xin rubbed his face, "Besides, since the D version was released from the small box of the Internet, it may be difficult to go back in the future."

This sentence is not alarmist.

Even "Jump" in Earth Area 11 is troubled by the D version of the website. They have tried hard, but it is difficult to have immediate results.

Before, the D version was only spread by paper media, and the scope was limited, but after entering the Internet age, the way of dissemination of the D version has been enriched.

In particular, Duoman.com spent a lot of money last year and the year before, which resulted in an increase in website traffic. Although "Steel Refined" has been suppressing "Age of the Gods" and other comics in the popularity list, Duoman.com's app is really making a lot of money. Even after deducting the bonus of the "Golden Paintbrush" award, there should be a surplus .

In the past two years, Duoman.com has had the greatest impact on the comics industry. Rather than threatening paper magazines, its appearance has changed readers' reading habits and allowed readers to accept online and mobile reading—— They used to read books all the time.

"Since you have accepted the benefits brought by the Internet, you have to accept the disadvantages it brings. This is equivalent exchange." Shen Xin added.

"Then what should we do?" Xi Muhan wept.

"Our role is very weak, mainly depends on how the magazine and other platforms operate. What we have to do is to survive. Don't worry, didn't you listen to what Brother Wang and Sister Yan said just now? This time it is not just one or A few cartoonists, but many people, there will always be a way." Shen Xin comforted.

Hearing Shen Xin's words, Xi Muhan stomped his feet, rushed downstairs and came to Yan Fei's side.

Gao Hang and the others raised their heads and looked at Xi Muhan who looked anxious and confused.

Shen Xin glanced at Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei who were busy downstairs, and sighed.

I hope you don't let your own words be taken seriously, otherwise, no one in the entire industry can stand alone.

Shen Xin picked up the pressure-sensitive pen and just drew a single page on the digital screen when she heard Wang Wenhong's voice from downstairs, "I found it!"

"I found it too!" Yan Fei also shouted almost at the same time.

Everyone in the studio turned their attention to the two of them.

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Shukeju
