My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 134: Fanzine and bonus pool

   The restaurant that Wang Wenhong led everyone to was named "Pangke Ju". The name of the restaurant sounds more elegant, and the decoration inside is the same.

   The waiter invited a group of people into the private room. After seated, Shen Xin glanced at the order book, and then threw it to Gao Hang.

   Gao Hang took the menu and said to the waiter beside him: "I want this... this... this..."

   Shen Xin glanced at Wang Wenhong's feet, where there was a paper bag.

  Wang Wenhong came out of the bookstore and kept carrying a paper bag, which was stuffed with bulges, but others couldn't see what was in the bag.

   After the waiter went out, Shen Xin asked Wang Wenhong, "Wang Bian, have you thought of any good ideas?"

   "I have an idea, but it's not good or bad. Just listen to it and make a judgment." Wang Wenhong poured a glass of boiling water and took a sip.

   "What idea?"

  Wang Wenhong put the paper bag on the table and patted it twice, "Mr. Shen, you can see the contents inside."

   Shen Xin was suspicious, took the paper bag, it was quite heavy, it should be a magazine or a book.

After    took it out, it was proved that Shen Xin's guess was correct. He glanced at the cover and his face tightened.

   Yan Fei also leaned over, just glanced at her, her cheeks flushed immediately.

   "Wang Wenhong, you are so disgusting." Yan Fei glanced at Wang Wenhong contemptuously.

  Wang Wenhong shrugged, "These are not what I deliberately collected before. I just looked for them at random yesterday, and there are so many."

   The conversation between the two people immediately aroused the curiosity of the three assistants.

   Gao Hang looked at the booklet in Shen Xin's hand with a curious look.

   Zhou Yang just stood up, Yan Fei immediately yelled at him: "Sit down."

   Turning around, Yan Fei said to Wang Wenhong, "Wang Wenhong, what do you want to do with so many 18x notebooks?"

  18X

   Zhou Yang scratched his head and smirked twice. He is indeed a little younger than the people sitting here, he is less than 18 years old.

  Wang Wenhong sneered, "You only saw the book. Didn't you see that this is the advantage of "Y\'s"?"

   "The advantage is the 18X notebook?" Yan Fei sneered.

   "Is it a fan?" Shen Xin speculated.

  Wang Wenhong gave Yan Fei a white look, "Did you see it? Teacher Shen can see it right."

   "Doujin?"

   The three assistants said in unison.

   "Whether Mr. Shen knows it or not, "Y\'s" is actually on doujinshi and has always been very marketable. This is a ‘characteristic’ that any comic on the rookie list does not have." Wang Wenhong said.

   "Hehe...I'm not happy at all if you say that." Shen Xin felt an indescribable depression in his heart.

When "I"s" was on the earth, it used to be the "severe disaster area" of the book. Big hands such as Yue Qunzhen and Amano Yuno have painted the "I"s" book, but I did not expect to come to this world, but it is still in this way.

   "This is also no way. I also wanted to find a book of "Crumbling", but I couldn't find one." Wang Wenhong was a little helpless.

   "Then what do you mean? Do you want to use these books to make "Y’s" and "Hunting Abyss" compete?" Yan Fei asked in confusion.

"Manga derivatives are usually divided into two parts. One is that you can use the comics themselves to make derivatives, such as "The Hunting Abyss". Believe it or not, after the animation of "The Hunting Abyss" is released, there will definitely be game companies buying the copyright. , Second, it is the derivative products spontaneously made by fans, just like the fanzine of "Y\'s". From this point of view, "Y\'s" is more than "Hunting Abyss" and "Crime" Advantage. I have been to the fan show in Hongchuan twice, and "Y\'s" is very popular in the fan show."

   "Even if "Y\'s" has these advantages, what does it mean?" Yan Fei wondered.

   "The more fan works in a manga, the higher its stickiness. If you can use it, it might help you."

   "Hey, Wang Wenhong, are you sure that you are not harming Mr. Shen? The 18X notebook will damage the reputation of "Y\'s"." Gao aerial shot the table and shouted at Wang Wenhong.

  Wang Wenhong ignored Gao Hang, his eyes only stared at Shen Xin.

   Shen Xin frowned slightly, lost in thought.

  Wang Wenhong did provide an idea. Shen Xin had never thought about this before. Now when he heard Wang Wenhong mention it, a word popped out of his mind.

   "The same person calls for papers."

   "Huh?" Yan Fei asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

   "I mean, we can do a doujin solicitation." Shen Xin immediately looked at Wang Wenhong, "Do you mean that?"

   "Uh...you can think so."

  Wang Wenhong didn't think about soliciting contributions, but wanted to use doujinshi to stir up "Y\'s" among the fans. This can save a lot of money, and the effect will be better, but the shortcomings, as Gao Hang said, will damage "Y\'s".

   In contrast, Shen Xin's approach is more formal.

"But in this way, there is also a shortcoming, which is the issue of participation. How to attract readers to doujin and "Y\'s". If this is not possible, even if it is a doujin solicitation, the publicity is difficult to match the animation. Compared to." Yan Fei said musingly.

   The waiters brought the food one after another, but no one in the private room made a sound. This made the waiters once wondered if these guys were caught in any evil.

   Gao Hang swallowed, and looked around the people around, but found that everyone's eyes were on Shen Xin, and he had to endure the hunger.

   During this period of time, when he recalled the various situations of the earth, a word suddenly flashed in his mind.

   "Have you heard of... the bonus pool?"

   "Bonus pool?" Wang Wenhong was taken aback~www.NovelMTL.com~ some did not understand.

   Yan Fei shook her head again and again. It was the first time she heard about the "bonus pool".

"Simply put, it is to first take out a part of the funds as the basic bonus. The president assured me that you can use the 500,000 bonus, then we can use 500,000 or part of it as the basic bonus, and then, every single book sold , Just put one or two cents into the prize pool. This way readers can have a sense of participation. If one million copies are sold during the event, the money put into the prize pool alone will be ten or twenty. Wan. For fan authors, this is also a big reward, right?"

   Shen Xin thought a lot, and finally thought of the bonus pool.

  Some games will give a basic bonus. Then, a part of the proceeds will be drawn from the readers' consumption and put into the bonus pool. Together with the basic bonus, they will be awarded to the winners as the final bonus.

  Shen Xin only made more than a dollar when he sold a copy of "Y\'s", so it was not a small amount to take out a dime or two. And considering that the more the bonus, the more likely the cartoonist is to cheat, so the bonus must be set at a reasonable amount.

  Wang Wenhong was the first to understand, "This is a good idea, but it is better not to participate in the whole people, but to invite the big players in the same world, especially those 18x painters, and let them compete with each other."

   "Why do you do this?" Gao Hang was puzzled.

  Wang Wenhong glanced at Gao Hang, "Of course it is to gather their popularity on "Y\'s"."

   Yan Fei immediately took out the pen and paper, and memorized what Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong had said.

   From the current point of view, this idea is very crude, but if it is carefully polished, it may be an excellent project.
