Chapter 688 Prepare New Book

At 7:00 p.m., Duoman.com published a message on its official Weibo account. Within 24 hours, "Y's" had 284,000 subscriptions.

For an author of Shen Xin's level, this subscription is not too much.

If you convert "Steel Refining", maybe it will break 600,000 to 700,000 within 24 hours, and if pirated copies are excluded, the number of subscriptions will be even higher.

But "Y's" can reach this popularity, which has exceeded many people's expectations.

This also illustrates a problem, good works, no matter what form of serialization, will get a lot of money.

When Tong Yu heard the news, he was negotiating cooperation with others at the wine table. Afterwards, he saved the chatting time and quickly reached an agreement with the other party.

After leaving the hotel, Tong Yu drove to the editorial office of Duoman.com, and called Qian Sheng and Yuan Zhe to the meeting room.

"What's the situation now?" Tong Yu asked immediately after sitting down.

"The number of subscriptions to Chapter 64 of "Y's" has exceeded 290,000, and it is estimated that by the weekend, there should be 400,000." Qian Sheng explained.

"Huh, luckily it's not a paper book." Tong Yu let out a sigh of relief.

Yuan Zhe and Qian Sheng looked at each other and understood what Tong Yu said.

They previously estimated 200,000 copies in a single week. If it was released as a single book, it would probably be sold out in a day or two. But web comics have no such concerns.

"That's right, and the number of subscriptions is only one chapter. If it is the length of a single book, the income should be doubled." Yuan Zhe said.

A single book usually has 8 or 9 chapters, and the number of subscriptions is estimated to increase several times.

"This also shows from the side that this subscription model is feasible. In the future, can we also add more works to this model?" Qian Sheng asked.

"The ratio of 7:3 is too high, and we basically can't make any money. Fortunately, Mr. Shen said that although the ratio is high, he is a banner after all. I don't think there is anything wrong with spending money on banners. Although "Y's" is It’s been a long time comic, but the plot is good, and it’s very suitable for making a movie. Besides, even if we only get 30%, the profit is not too small. Other cartoonists want to get this percentage.” Tong Yu shook his finger and said.

"Then adjust the different sharing ratios according to the different levels of the author. Ordinary authors get five or five points, and higher-level authors, such as the winner of the Golden Paintbrush Award, get six or four points. The highest-level authors, like Mr. Shen and Mr. Wang , they can get 70% to 30%. This will also give other authors a goal to strive for." Qian Sheng suggested.

"Alright." Tong Yu nodded, stroked his chin, and after a moment of contemplation, asked, "By the way, I heard that Teacher Shen dismantled the copyright of "DN"?"

"That's right, that's what Wang Wenhong said." Yuan Zhe just said something, and then remembered something, "Wait, Mr. Tong, do you want to..."

"Find an opportunity to buy the film and television copyright of "DN". We don't do animation, but we do film and television." Tong Yu said.

"That's true. However, let's look at the market's feedback? If there are no accidents, "DN" should be serialized soon. Moreover, even if this comic is adapted, the movie produced may be limited in rating." Yuan Zhe explained.

Although "DN" has not been serialized yet,

But judging from the information conveyed by the short story, not every age group can watch it.

Tong Yu rubbed his chin without making a sound.

If it is really necessary to limit the rating, it is estimated that a group of viewers will be reduced. How to operate it, we still have to wait and see for a while, at least to see the market's reaction.

...

"Y's" had around 300,000 subscriptions on the first day, and nearly 600,000 subscriptions in a single week, which surprised Shen Xin. But preparing two comics at the same time also kept Shen Xin very busy.

"DN" needs to prepare the manuscripts of three or even four episodes before it can be officially serialized. At the same time, "ComicFuture" also made room for "DN"-it is basically confirmed that it will be in the 26th issue, with a poster attached to the front color page.

Readers are eagerly waiting for the serialization of "DN", but before then, they will have to wait another month.

This is the problem with different media.

In the eyes of most readers, paper magazines are very formal platforms, and the works serialized on them have to be screened by editors to ensure the quality, while web comics appear to be a mixed bag of opinions.

There are high-quality works such as "Y's" and "Age of the Gods", but there are also many low-quality works.

The advantages of web comics are also obvious, that is, the free update time and no need to wait for vacant pages.

On the other hand, "Y's" has been doing well during this period of time, and the number of subscriptions in a single week has remained stable at 600,000, with an upward trend towards 700,000.

In the follow-up plot, Yigui and that girl—Qi Xiaoquan (Izumi Isozaki)—were implicated because of various coincidences. Qi Xiaoquan began to pursue Yigui, and at the same time deepened Yizhi's misunderstanding.

In this plot, Shen Xin also made extensive changes to the original work.

In "I's", Seto Kazuki was tricked by Teratani Yasuya into the female soup, and "meeted frankly" with Iori, which deepened the misunderstanding. However, in Huaxia's comics, hot springs rarely appear, so let's set it again at this time It seems nondescript to move the original.

Shen Xin could only move the place where the misunderstanding occurred from the hot spring to the changing room of the bathhouse, causing the two people to have a misunderstanding.

The readers feasted their eyes, but Shen Xin was "scorned" by Xi Muhan.

Regarding this, Shen Xin could only sigh silently in her heart, all this was for telling a good story.

On the other hand, after drawing the original manuscripts of the first three chapters of "DN", Shen Xin handed over the manuscripts to Yan Fei, who then translated them.

It's just that the translation of "DN" is more time-consuming than "Steel Refining", because it has a lot more lines than "Steel Refining"... no, it has a lot more lines than other comics.

There are many lines, which can be regarded as a feature of Oba Tsugumi's works, "DN" is like this, and "Dream Eater" is also like this.

But he can't blame him for this, because of these two comics, one belongs to the comics of Zhidou, and the other belongs to the comics of explanations.

These two types of comics have more lines, and similar comics include "Kindaichi", "Conan" (Wisdom), and "Spirit of the Halberd" (explaining dishes and ingredients).

Therefore, in addition to being the editor of "Ding Shi" and "DN", Yan Fei also put a lot of energy into translating the lines of "DN".

Fast forward to the end of June.

With the progress of the story, the number of subscriptions to "Y's" has gradually increased. Duoman.com has also set up a legal department to take charge of D version and infringement lawsuits. It wants to further improve the performance and popularity of "Y's". At the same time, Feng Shuo The media also began to recruit actors, preparing to reshoot "Y's".

With the blessing of animation, "The King of Rock and Roll" successfully reached the top of the small book, and once again entered the top three of the hot list; "Ding Shi" surpassed "The Restaurant of Other Worlds" because it entered the plot of the domestic cooking competition , won the third place in the small book.

At the same time, the first chapter of "DN" also entered the printing factory along with the 26th issue of "ComicFuture".
