Chapter 889 Platform and Choice

After Lu Yingxue posted on Weibo, some netizens also speculated about the cartoonist who will be the main writer of "Stones;Gate".

Magi soon announced the news that Lu Ning would participate in the compilation and drawing of the "Stones;Gate" comics as a painting, and netizens also started discussions on this news.

Some readers feel sorry for not seeing Lu Yingxue's cooperation with "Stones;Gate", but Lu Ning's strength is also good, and after such a long time of adaptation, readers have also gotten used to Lu Ning's style.

The only uncertainty is where the manga will be serialized.

Within two days, news came from Qingyue that Lu Yingxue would be the main writer to re-create the popular comic "Devil's Tutor" that was serialized in District 11. At the same time, they also announced that they would try their best to reach an agreement with Lu Ning on the serialization platform.

At this moment, the readers who lightly read instantly boiled.

The comics of "Steins;Gate" and the two comics of "The Demon King's Tutor" are being serialized in Qingyue, and their strength has greatly increased. Qingyue also has the opportunity to challenge Duoman.com.

Of course, it is impossible to surpass Duomanwang in an instant, but at least, there is already a trend.

In addition, "Qichuang Library" announced with the help of Qingyue app that it will publish a single volume of "Stones;Gate", and snow will be the artist, and all illustrations will be newly designed.

This piece of news is equally attractive to readers of Steins;Gate.

Another and snow have joined forces, and the quality of the booklet of "Steins;Gate" can be expected.

...

There are two choices before Lu Ning, either go to Duomanwang or Qingyue.

The editor-in-chiefs of the two platforms, Qian Sheng and Zeng Yue, talked to him twice and visited Shen Xin at the same time. However, they didn't stay too long. After a few words, they also expressed their desire for Shen Xin. The idea of ​​a new work was rejected by Shen Xin.

Not long after seeing off the two editor-in-chiefs, Lu Ning came upstairs.

"Sister Lu, what's bothering you?" Xi Muhan opened the door, seeing Lu Ning's gloomy expression, he was a little concerned.

Lu Ning sighed, glanced at Shen Xin who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and said, "I'm a little confused on how to choose between Duomanwang and Qingyue. Teacher, what do you think I should choose?"

"What are the conditions of the two platforms?"

"We will provide a lot of resources, such as publicity, the production of booklets, of course, in terms of manuscript fees, Qingyue will give more, and also made some guarantees that the comics of "Stones;Gate" will be operated as signature comics. " Lu Ning was confused.

"Restricting the freedom of cartoonists?"

"That's not true. I only signed a work agreement with them."

"That's it." Shen Xin nodded slightly, "Remember one thing, as a cartoonist, you must try your best to fight for your rights. Also, there are some conditions that you can't see at a glance. Just like Qingyue, he needs signature comics , once a popular comic comes out, it must be pushed to death, and resources will come in a steady stream at that time, this is the most powerful."

"However, it is said on the Internet that Qingyue's main comic is not only "Stones of Destiny's Gate", but also another one, which seems to be called "Devil's Tutor". Therefore, in terms of resource allocation, Qingyue should have a choice." Lu Ning was worried. .

"This is competition. It is indeed very stressful to have a high-level opponent, but if you can win, there will be a lot of rewards. Sometimes, the performance of a work depends not only on yourself, but also on the performance of the opponent." Strength." Shen Xin comforted.

"But... I heard that "The Demon King's Tutor" is also very powerful, and has a lot of popularity in the 11th district." Yan Fei felt lingering fear.

"What are you talking about? About this comic, I asked Mr. Tamagawa Haruka. "The Demon King's Tutor" was published on a comic forum in District 11. It has a certain popularity in the forum, but it is not as light as Qingyue and Zeng Yue said. Mysterious. After all, that cartoonist named Shi Qun wants to take advantage of his popularity in District 11 to gain a foothold in the domestic comic circle."

"Selling point?"

"That's right. Shi Qun serialized comics on the forum in District 11, and has some fans in District 11.

After that, if he returns to Huaxia, he will definitely be sought after by the platform. The only surprise is that "The Devil's Tutor" ended after only 120 chapters were published. "

When the Internet connected Qingyue with "The Demon King's Tutor", Shen Xin called and asked Tamagawa Haruka who was far away in the 11th district. . Then he said that he learned from his assistant that "The Devil's Tutor" should be serialized on a platform in District 11.

"Second-tier level in the 11th district, if you find an artist, you should be able to serialize it in a good magazine. Of course, now that this comic is remade in China, it may be more competitive." Tamagawa Haruka gave his own evaluation.

Afterwards, Shen Xin also saw the cartoon of "The Devil's Tutor" on the Internet.

Shi Qun's painting style is not very good, and the initial storyboards are not very good. They are better than more than half of the domestic cartoonists, but the later, the better the storyboards of "The Demon King's Tutor", which can clearly see Shi Qun's strength improvement.

As for the story, it is a relatively light manga. The story is about the king of the demon world who finds a female demon he trusts to be the next demon king because of his old age. When he was about to hand over the ring symbolizing the devil to the female demon, the devil noticed that the ring had fallen into the world.

So, the female demon came to the world and found the protagonist who picked up the ring, but because the protagonist was too weak to take off the ring, the gate of the demon world was also closed due to many coincidences, and if he wanted to open it again, he had to wait a year later.

The protagonist provides a residence for the female demon, and the female demon also takes on the task of cultivating the protagonist.

Of course, there are many illogical things here, for example, why didn't the female devil kill the protagonist directly, after all, the effect is direct. But if everything is logical, there won't be so many interesting stories.

Because "The Devil's Tutor" is a funny comic, it is more difficult to create than a passionate comic. The reason is that hot-blooded comics have a main line, and creators can rely on the main line to attract readers. But for funny comics, each story is relatively complete, and the creator must ensure that every episode has a laugh in order to be recognized by readers.

Although "The Demon King's Tutor" is short in length, the story is very complete and there is no delay. Therefore, this comic cannot become a first-line work in District 11, but it has indeed been sought after by some readers, which in turn has attracted a lot of attention in China. Lots of fans.

"Then what should we do?" Lu Ning asked anxiously.

"It's enough to win it." Lu Ning grinned, "It's a bit cruel to say, if you want your work to be accepted by more people, you can only work hard. Isn't there Sister Yan to help you? Besides, learn My sister can also help, no problem."

Hearing this, Lu Ning finally let go of the momentum in her heart.

"Teacher, let me think about it again... By the way, Duomanwang and Qingyue, how do you choose?"

"How to choose?" Shen Xin held the teacup and took a sip, "Don't choose."

"Why? Duoman.com has cooperated with the teacher before, so it should give a reasonable price?"

"The price they gave is very high. A single page is 150,000, and a booklet will be published, and all the copyrights belong to me. They only need electronic copyrights." Shen Xin said.

Lu Ning grinned, startled.

It's not that there are 20,000 manuscripts per page, such as "Age of the Gods", but as long as the electronic copyright is available, Duoman.com offers a sky-high price of 15,000 yuan per page, which is indeed the only copy.

In fact, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that the price was very reasonable. Like "Y's", when it was serialized, each chapter had about 800,000 subscriptions, and the income brought by Shen Xin's new work would not be lower than that of "Y's".

"Then... Teacher, why didn't you agree?" Lu Ning asked puzzled.

"Did I say that? What's the difference between web comics and paper comics?" Shen Xin asked back.

"Difference...you mean across pages?" Lu Ning suddenly realized.

Shen Xin nodded.

If you want to draw the fierce confrontation of basketball, page spreads are essential, and in fact "" does have a large number of page spreads, even more than the sum of the page spreads he has drawn before.

If you put "" on the Internet and watch basketball comics on a palm-sized screen, it will be difficult to feel the impact of the double-page spread.

Shen Xin's first choice must be magazines.
