Chapter 651 Kingly Way and Evil Way

"But 'cutting' Brother Xin's comics won't be of much benefit to "Comic Future", right?" Xi Muhan asked suspiciously.

"You're wrong, it's really good. Of course, if it's another author's comic, if it wins the second or third place in the small book, it will definitely not be 'cut in half'. But Mr. Shen is different, "Comic Future" can only win Part of the copyright income of the next work, the electronic copyright is also 70-30. Even if Mr. Shen’s lower manga becomes popular, the actual gains from "Comic Future" will not be too much. Therefore, the possibility of "cutting" the work will increase a lot.

"If Mr. Shen's next comic doesn't do well, there will be an argument that "Comic Future" may once again show an exclusive agreement and force Mr. Shen to sign it. At the same time, once "Y's" does not perform well, it will be difficult to win Cooperate with Duoman.com on the same status.

"Even Mr. Shen is still at a disadvantage in this game. Because we are not facing one magazine, but many magazines. If we want to take a piece of meat from these capitals, they will definitely not be happy. So we can't afford to lose."

Wang Wenhong expressed his concerns.

Shen Xin nodded slightly.

Wang Wenhong's words sound like a "conspiracy theory", but if you want to survive in any industry, you can't be careless. What's more, "Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng", I don't know how many people are waiting for his mistake.

Cartoonists rely on their works to speak, whether the work is popular or not is not only related to the quality of the cartoon, but also related to the market. Sometimes, a work is inexplicably popular, and even the author does not know the reason.

Some popular cartoonists may not produce amazing works after drawing a popular cartoon. For example, Nobuhiro Watsuki, when "Rurouni Kenshin" was serialized, it was called the pillar manga of "jump", but after the end of this manga, he has been unable to produce satisfactory works.

Another example is Mizuki Kashita, the author of "Strawberry 100%". After finishing "Strawberry 100%", several manga were cut in half.

Evergreens like Takahashi Rumiko and Tomita Yoshihiro are really scarce among cartoonists.

Internet novels also have this trend. An author finally writes a popular novel. Generally speaking, they will extend the length of the novel, because the author is not sure whether their next novel will still be a hit. If you accidentally walk down the street, you will really drink the northwest wind.

This is not unfounded worry, because whether a work sells well or not requires opportunities.

sometimes mistakes,

It doesn't hurt. For example, when Shen Xin really has the capital to negotiate with all the magazines in the country, it doesn't matter if he grabs a copy or two, but now is the most critical time, so he has to be careful.

"Then what should we do? Make some more requests?" Xi Muhan put his hands on his chest, quite uneasy.

Shen Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Xiaohan, "Comic Future" wasn't developed by our family. I put forward so many requests, and it's not easy for them to agree to it."

Xi Muhan was happy when Shen Xin mentioned the word "our family", but he was a little bit unwilling, "Then after "Steel Refining" is finished, let's look at the results of "Y's" and then make a decision."

"That's fine." Wang Wenhong nodded, "If "Y's" is popular, maybe the new book can borrow the popularity of "Y's"."

This is the benefit of double opening.

Sometimes, an old author writes two books at the same time, just to catch the popularity of another old book.

Shen Xin rubbed her chin, thought for a while, and then slowly said: "This is also a way, but since it's just a way to catch the heat, why not use "Steel Refining"?"

"Huh? Rip on "Steel Refining"? Wait... Mr. Shen, don't you want to serialize new comics immediately after "Steel Refining" is finished?" Wang Wenhong was taken aback and asked hastily.

Shen Xin nodded, "I have such an idea."

Wang Wenhong shook his head again and again. In the near future, "Steel Refining" will be increased to 40 pages in a single chapter. It is estimated that there will be very little rest time. How can there be time to think about the name of the new comic?

"Teacher Shen, don't be in a hurry." Wang Wenhong persuaded.

"I know..." Shen Xin said perfunctorily, he was only thinking about one thing in his mind now, which manga is suitable.

Domineering comics, or evil comics?

The advantages of Wang Dao comics are obvious, and they have great stamina. Once some phenomenon-level Wang Dao comics are accepted by readers, their popularity will hardly decline, and the performance of their works will be relatively stable.

This type of comics is somewhat like fantasy novels, with high competition and deep routines, and it is difficult to come up with results. However, any works that achieve results have a higher ceiling than other works.

Evil way comics have a somewhat slanted feeling, such as "Killing the City" by Hiroya Oku, "As the Gods Say" by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Hiji Fujimura, and "Invasion of the Sky" by Takahiro Oba and original work by Miura Zounuo. Crime" and so on.

This type of comics often throws suspense in the first few chapters to attract readers' attention, but the shortcomings are also obvious. The later the stage, the more difficult it is to create. Once there are signs of plot collapse, the results will be affected.

In addition, the readers of evil comics are much less than Wangdao comics. Compared with the two, the ceiling of evil comics is not high, just like the first place in niche online novels, its performance is hard to compare with the first place in fantasy or urban novels name.

Evil manga also has advantages, it can use the shortest length to attract readers. If you can control the length of the manga, you should have good results.

In the short term, Evil Manga can gain the attention of readers with stunning settings, but in the long run, Wang Dao Manga will achieve better results.

So, should you choose evil manga or benevolent manga?

Shen Xin kept comparing the two types of comics, and after repeated thinking, she finally chose evil comics.

On the one hand, he must make the next comic work out as soon as possible. From this point of view, Evil Dao comics are more suitable. On the other hand, he does not intend to draw too long comics. Before reacting, the plot of the next comic reached its peak. In this way, the initiative is still in his hands.

After making up his mind, the name of a manga appeared in Shen Xin's mind, "Death Note", the pinnacle work of Takeshi Obata and Tsugumi Ohba.

The original volume is 12 volumes, with an average sales volume of 2.5 million volumes. It ranks ninth in the average single-volume sales list in the 11 districts. It is also the ceiling of evil manga.

In terms of style, Shen Xin has painted "Soul of Chess", and now he also draws "Smelting Steel" with the style of Takeshi Obata, so the change of style will be very natural.

Of course, Takeshi Obata's painting style in "DN" is gorgeous, and it is also the manga that best demonstrates his painting skills. Shen Xin will have great difficulty in drawing it.
