Six Hundred and Thirtieth Chapters Strangeness and Speculation

After Duoman.com held a year-to-year membership event, the revenue growth has increased to a considerable extent compared with the second quarter, but there is still a problem that plagues the website-they also lack good comics .

Wang Yunze's "Age of the Gods", Duan Ping's "Sirius", and Fu Bo's "Shengwu Academy", these are all well-known comics in China, but the best comics on Duoman.com have a shortcoming. That is, there is no charge.

With the increase in length, "Dream Fairy" became popular and gained many fans. Other comics also sold well, but in terms of quality, compared with free comics, it was not as popular.

At the beginning, in order to create popularity, they forced the comics of popular authors into the free area, but now they have built a wall for themselves.

Fortunately, due to the existence of the second "Golden Paintbrush Award", Duoman.com can still guarantee a certain degree of attention, but this year is in the preparatory period, and the "Golden Paintbrush Award" can really make the "Golden Paintbrush Award" become the focus of the public. It should be the big prize next year scramble.

But in the face of the impact of the D version, Duoman.com has the momentum to rise, which shows that the situation has improved.

Now, they need to find new income growth points in addition to monthly subscription income.

For this reason, Yuan Zhe and Qian Sheng did not lose their hair, but each option has a relatively high risk.

For example, they can buy electronic copyrights of District 11 comics in large quantities, but this also requires a lot of money. What's more, District 11 also has the right to speak about the charging model. At that time, it will be up to them to decide whether it is a monthly subscription or other models.

It is difficult for Duoman's management to accept this condition.

In addition, there is another point that they don't want to face. If a large number of cartoons from District 11 are introduced, it will inevitably cause greater competitive pressure on domestic cartoonists. Paintbrush" award, a lot of money has been paid, and the capital must be recovered.

Yuan Zhe came back from the "Cartoonists Association". As soon as he entered the office, Qian Sheng took a document and called him into the smoking room.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Zhe asked puzzled.

"I got an interesting piece of news today..." Qian Sheng said with a smile.

"What news?" Yuan Zhe asked.

"Do you know who the editor in charge of Teacher Shen Zheng is?"

"Yan Fei." Yuan Zhe said angrily.

Back then, he was the one who brought Yan Fei into "MangaFly", of course he knew her very well. Furthermore, due to the recent anti-D version, various platforms have contacted each other and exchanged news with each other.

Ordinary cartoonists may not be noticed, but the troubles of top cartoonists can easily attract the attention of major magazines.

"I'm talking about the previous..."

"Wang Wenhong." Yuan Zhe said.

"Do you know what he's doing now?"

"I heard that I have resigned... I don't know what I will do after that." Yuan Zhe shook his head.

Duoman.com doesn't pay much attention to the role of editors, and the author makes more adjustments to the plot based on readers' feedback. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to Wang Wenhong's whereabouts.

"He entered Teacher Shen Zheng's studio." Qian Sheng broke out.

"Eh?" Yuan Zhe was taken aback,

Puzzled, "No... What does Mr. Shen want Wang Wenhong to do? Wang Wenhong doesn't know how to draw cartoons?"

It's really not common for a cartoonist to hire his own editor... This kind of thing is really not common.

"I don't know, but the actions of "ComicFuture" are a bit strange. Recently, they have obviously been promoting "The King of Rock and Roll."

"Isn't it because "Steel Refining" was suspended?" Yuan Zhe explained.

"It's not the same. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the overall quality of "King of Rock and Roll" is not at the same level as "Steel Refined". Moreover, "Steel Refined" has been suspended for two months, which is not short, but it has now entered 7 Month, "Steel Refining" will be republished in a blink of an eye. Why do they go to such great lengths to promote "The King of Rock and Roll"? At this time, Wang Wenhong and Shen Zheng are teaming up, is there any other meaning?"

Yuan Zhe's eyes brightened instantly.

"contradiction!"

If they do diverge, does Duoman.com have a chance?

"It should be like this. But "ComicFuture" knows that Mr. Shen is their most important cartoonist, but they still have the idea of ​​​​changing the column. It shows that the conditions proposed by Mr. Shen are difficult for them to accept. Even other magazines are not sure. able to bear it."

"That's true." Yuan Zhe nodded, calming down, "Cartoonists are too thorny, and many platforms will be on guard against them. Shen Zheng still thinks too highly of himself. No matter how you say it, he is just a cartoonist. Without a suitable platform, it is difficult for the public to understand his work."

"I also thought this way at first, and felt that the platform was more useful, but..." Qian Sheng handed the material in his hand to Yuan Zhe, "Take a look at this material..."

Yuan Zhe took the material, glanced at it roughly, and his attention was immediately attracted, "Is "Steel Refined" ranked so high in the United States?"

"Among the comics that are being serialized in Asia... no, among the animations that are being screened, "Smelting Steel" ranks first. Of course, judging from the ratings and novels, combined with the latest plot of "Smelting Steel", if there is no big Surprisingly, the score of "Steel Refining" will continue to rise. There are also ratings from several animation websites in the United States. Although there are not many people who participated in the comments, "Steel Refining" ranks in the top five... "ComicFuture" is not in the United States Published, the animation should not be authorized, but it has the current achievements, don't you notice anything now?" Qian Sheng asked.

Yuan Zhe frowned, how could he not understand the meaning of Qian Sheng's words?

"Steel Refining" became popular in the United States, which has already explained a problem. The platform is very important, but if you say that a comic must completely rely on the platform to become popular, I am afraid no one will believe it. Otherwise, why can't other Chinese comics be supported by readers in the United States? ?

"Tell me, is it possible for us to have another contact with Teacher Shen Zheng?"

"You can get in touch, but it's hard to get real benefits. Anyway, there is still a contract between Mr. Shen and "ComicFuture." Qian Sheng reminded.

"Then we have to give it a try. Even if there is no gain in the short term, "Steel Refining" must be finished?" Yuan Zhe asked, "Actually, we don't need to talk to Mr. Shen, we can get a word from Wang Wenhong."

"I would like to remind you that if even "ComicFuture" cannot accept Mr. Shen's conditions, it will be very difficult for us to accept."

"The conditions were negotiated." Yuan Zhe stood up, "Please contact Wang Wenhong for me, I want to see him soon."

If you hold Shen Xin and Wang Yunze's two trump cards, Duoman.com will have an absolute advantage even in the face of "Comic Future".

At present, the situation of each platform is not very good. To describe it in one word, it is "chaos". However, crisis and opportunity coexist, and a stroke of magic is likely to turn the platform around. Both try.

Qian Sheng nodded, but he was not optimistic about this contact. Of course, he also wanted to recruit Shen Xin, but he also understood that in this "battle", "ComicFuture" still holds the upper hand.
