Chapter 829: Change

In Hongchuan in November, as in previous years, there is already a chill.

On the contrary, the manga market in Hongchuan is another scene.

In the past six months, "ComicFuture" launched a comic called "Magic World" by a light novelist in the 33rd issue. At the same time, Luo Zheng's new work "Idol Age" was serialized in "ComicFuture". The first few words have also been recognized by readers.

The serialization of three powerful works made "ComicFuture" finally stop the decline after the continuous decline in sales volume, stabilizing at about 3 million copies.

At the same time, Qingyue app is also gradually making efforts.

Another light novel serialized by Xifeng, the author of "Magic World", "Daily Life in a Small World" is well known by everyone for its relaxed and funny style. Sales reached 130,000 copies in the first month.

For a novel that has been serialized in the app, this sales volume is actually quite impressive.

In addition, the lightly modified comics serialized in Qingyue have gradually gained a market-feedback from readers of light novels has confirmed the popularity of the work, and then the cartoonists have changed it into comics, which greatly reduces the risk of being on the street.

In a sense, the emergence of lightly modified comics has also relieved the survival pressure of some comic practitioners—some cartoonists are not lacking in drawing skills, but can’t find a suitable script—but because of this, it has led to Diversion of readers.

"ComicFuture" magazine sales dropped by more than 1 million copies in one year, which has a lot to do with the diversion of apps.

Although the current manga app market is not as big as the magazine market, it has made great progress compared to before.

On the web comics, there are a series of excellent works such as "Age of the Gods", "Sirius", "Shengwu Academy", "Doomsday Rescue", etc. The overall quality is very high, but correspondingly, the quality of paper magazines is very accurate. To put it bluntly, after the end of "DN", it is difficult to find another work that can stabilize "Age of the Gods".

Wang Yunze, after all, is Wang Yunze.

When excellent cartoonists gradually transfer to web comics, it also represents the rise of web comics and the decline of paper magazines.

In fact, more than one person has felt this tendency, especially those practitioners of comics. They pay more attention to the trend of comics and want to know the predictions of experts on the trend of comics in the future.

Therefore, in manga schools, there are also teachers who teach various predictions.

"... Now, we can know that Tiaoman is actually similar to the previous four-frame comics. However, the advantages that Tiaoman has are not available in four-frame comics. First, Tiaoman is colorful. Pages are the main page, which has a greater visual impact on readers. Second, strip comics can tell a complete story, while four-frame comics require creators to create a complete story within four frames. The continuity between a story is not strong..."

A bald old man stood on the desk with both hands, reading a manuscript at his desk.

"...So, the battle between paper comics and web comics will definitely end with the victory of web comics, and strip comics will also occupy a dominant position in web comics, because mobile phone screens are more suitable for strip comics... Everyone must Focus on the manga..."

Lu Ning rolled her eyes, her ears were listening to the old man's lecture, but her gaze was out of the window.

She also convinced herself that she had nothing to spend money to come here and listen to a group of people who are not as good as herself. It's really idle.

Lu Ning is not good at stories. Moreover, due to the transition from girl manga to juvenile manga, her expression on the screen often lacks explosive power.

But what about these teachers? Many of them didn't have the experience of being serialized on "ComicFuture", and even if they had, they were cut in half within a hundred episodes.

Although the high school teachers of Yenching University students may not necessarily have graduated from Yenching University, Lu Ning is already a student of "Yenjing University".

And has successfully graduated, there is no need to listen to these...

It's like throwing money into the water.

The money has already been paid, so Lu Ning can only think so.

The bell rang outside, and Lu Ning stuffed the books into the drawer. Just as she got up, two male students leaned forward.

"This classmate, can I have a meal together?"

Lu Ning wore a flat mirror, and after simple makeup, her skin was delicate and shiny, and her facial features appeared more refined.

Compared with the slovenly appearance at work, her current appearance has changed a lot. She seems to be two or three years younger. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also much more mature, making it easier to attract the attention of others.

In fact, this is true in any industry, and beautiful women are always more likely to be favored.

Lu Ning glanced at the two of them. The person who was speaking was thin-skinned and tender-looking, and he looked good, but... Brother, the nose hairs are coming out, take the time to fix them.

The other boy had a crew cut, was of average appearance, neither annoying nor attractive.

She wasn't very interested in such a person, and just about to refuse, her cell phone rang suddenly.

Lu Ning glanced at the phone, and said to the two apologetically, "Sorry, we have an appointment."

After speaking, Lu Ning ignored the expressions of the two of them, and left the classroom while answering the phone.

It was Ji Yinxuan who called, asking if she had time to come to the studio, which is Shen Xin's building in Xincheng District.

Facing Ji Yinxuan's invitation, Lu Ning accepted without thinking.

One thing to say, Ji Yinxuan is also one of the more unlucky people.

When starting a business, she hadn't found a suitable text yet. For Ji Yinxuan, the pressure can be imagined.

Fortunately, she has a very powerful father who took over a mobile game from Zhenyu Technology and maintained the normal operation of the studio without any major problems.

But in this way, although she has her own studio, she is still subject to others in terms of creation.

She didn't like that.

As for Lu Ning, she was responsible for the character design of this mobile game, so there is a certain degree of cooperation between her and Ji Yinxuan.

Lu Ning bought two hamburgers and a glass of Coke at a fast food restaurant, then took a ride to Ji Yinxuan's studio in Xincheng District.

This building has 12 floors in total, the first to third floors are used by Ji Yinxuan, and the other floors are Shen Xin and his studio.

Lu Ning looked at this building with really hot eyes.

It is already very exciting to have a studio that belongs to oneself completely. What's more, the assistant's residence is also in this building, which means that the creative efficiency will be greatly improved.

However, owning such a studio would inevitably require a huge amount of expenses. She could not afford such a large amount of money just by relying on the manga "Ding Shi", so this idea... just think about it.

Lu Ning carried the hamburger and came to the studio on the third floor, but saw Ji Yinxuan resting her chin, staring at the screen in front of her, and at the same time, not scrolling the axis of the mouse.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ning put the bun and hamburger on the coffee table and asked in puzzlement.

"Oh, to add some new characters, it may be necessary to design a new painting, so please come here." Ji Yinxuan rubbed her eyes, and Charlotte handed a copy of materials to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning looked through the materials roughly. There should be four or five character designs, so she put them away, "If you have such materials again, why don't you send them directly to my mailbox? This way the speed will be faster."

"Yes. What about your side?" Ji Yinxuan asked.

Lu Ning shook her head, "Disappointed... I thought I could learn something, but in the end, I still think too highly of the teachers in those comic schools. I won't go again, and the tuition fees are in vain."

"I also dealt with those people and wanted to ask them to create character designs, but the quality was not good enough. In the end, I had to entrust professional illustrators or cartoonists. I think that if you really want to learn storyboarding, you might as well learn from Mr. Shen a period of time."

"I think so too, but isn't Teacher Shen not back?" Lu Ning sighed.

When Ji Yinxuan heard this, she also rubbed her forehead—it has been half a year, and after playing around in Europe, the two of them flew to District 11 a few days ago, and she doesn't know when the two of them will come back.
