My Cartoonist Guide

The poor sales of "icfuture" on the first day made everyone in the editorial department feel more pressured, but on the second day, the sales of the magazine improved. Shang Haozhi checked the Internet and found out that Ye Hexu had sent a provocation like a provocation. Weibo.

Regardless of its original intent, this Weibo did allow some readers to return to "icfuture", wanting to see for themselves the quality of the two high-quality comics in Ye Hexu's mouth.

In fact, the quality of "Steel Refining" and "Game" is indeed extremely high.

"Steel Refining" is just the end of the Gried event, telling the appearance of "Father" and Gried's death. Although it is not the climax of the fight, but while solving some suspense, it also sets some new suspense.

In particular, whether "Father" and von Hoinheim are the same person has divided the readers into two factions, and several readers have written analysis posts.

This statement not only did not have the trough at the end of the event, but also aroused the curiosity of the readers.

In short, this statement...no, it is more accurate to say that "Steel Refining" has been maintained at a high level, so that readers can never let go of this comic.

The quality of the other "game" is also very high.

The topic of this sentence is called "trust", but the content is very different from the topic. It is not so much trust as it is "betrayal" or "spy".

The people trapped in the "main brain space" are divided into two factions. They are fighting for the status of the main brain space. At the same time, the protagonist in a different world is betrayed by a trusted partner and wants to kill the protagonist.

This person thinks that he has a chance to win, and he has no words. The protagonist also knows from his mouth that the battle for the main brain space is because someone is provoking it.

In the previous days, the provocateurs had a good relationship on both sides.

After telling the protagonist the inside story, the man wanted to kill the protagonist. Unexpectedly, a huge mouth fell from the sky and swallowed the man's upper body in one bite.

The blood splashing from the waist spilled all over the protagonist.

Since this page is a two-page spread and is mainly black, the shock that touches the soul touches the brain from the heart.

The excellent content of the two comics has helped the sales of "icfuture" rebound. "The Legend of the Dragon King" is also in the midst of a battle, and it has also attracted the attention of many readers.

At the same time, the popularity list has also changed.

"Sirius" went a step further, ranking 5th, while "Shengwu Academy" ranked 12th, among the top 20, Duoman.com even occupied 4 seats.

The popularity list is not based solely on the quality of comics and sorting, but based on the searches and discussions of netizens.

From this point of view, Duomanwang comics, which are "born" on the Internet, have a natural advantage in the competition with magazines-because readers can find the content of comics directly on the Internet, and at the same time, because the comics are free, they are easier to form. topic.

In addition, the ranking of the top three has also changed.

"Steel Refining", with "Snake Carrying Its Tail (Part 2, made it to the top of the popularity list for the first time. "Game" relied on "trust" and ranked second, and "The Legend of the Dragon King" ranked third.

This ranking is slightly different from the little book of "icfuture". In the ranking of the little book, "Steel Refining" and "game" have exchanged positions.

"The 36th issue of the magazine has exactly 4.8 million copies. This is the bottom line set by the senior management."

When Wang Wenhong came to Shen Xin's studio, he sat down on the sofa and took a few breaths before his expression recovered a lot.

"I estimate that in the next issue, the sales of the magazine may be lower." Shen Xin speculated.

Wang Wenhong raised his brows slightly, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

This is where he worries most.

The latest issue of "Steel Making" is the end of an event. The next episode is "Emissary of the East", Zhang Mei and Yao Lin all appear.

The story cannot be said to be unfavorable, but it has been separated from the previous plot, and it lacks a sense of tension.

In contrast, the "game" event has only begun. It is estimated that in the last month, "cf" will rely on "game" to support the facade, and then the home field of "Alien Restaurant".

As for "Steel Refining", the climax of the next story should be in November.

At that time, "The Legend of the Dragon King" was also over, and "game" was also impossible to maintain a state forever, and the ranking is estimated to go down.

At that time, "icfuture" will last for two months with "Steel Refining"... can it be done?

"I can't do it." This is Shen Xin's reply, "At most one and a half months."

"A month and a half?" Wang Wenhong laughed dryly, "This time is so embarrassing."

"Yes." Shen Xin stretched out.

The plot of "Steel Refining" has been completed by Aunt Niu, and he has no way to disassemble and reorganize it. It is not that it cannot be changed, but that there is no extra time.

"Now I can only hope that Duoman will be abandoned by readers because of insufficient content." Wang Wenhong sighed.

"Impossible, or even if there is, there is no threat to the magazine." Shen Xin shook his head and said, "Just think about it. So far, Duoman.com has only paid out money and not collected money. The monthly subscription will be implemented in January next year. If there is no content that attracts readers, all the money will be spent. No matter how difficult it is, they will stick with their teeth and strive to get the first pot of gold. Therefore, content will be added in November and December."

Wang Wenhong sighed. Of course he also knew what Shen Xin said, so it was "hope".

"At that time, your pressure may be great."

"What else can I do? Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up." Shen Xin shrugged, there is no other way.

"Actually, I am even more afraid. If a few more web comics appear..." Wang Wenhong worried.

"That's not true." Shen Xin thought a little, and shook his head. "To start a comics website, you have to spend money. The average company may not be able to afford the money~www.NovelMTL.com~If it is a web site Shen Xin certainly dare not say that, but this is a webcomic. Compared with it, it has a natural disadvantage-Internet authors can use their spare time to create a certain amount every day. Even if there is no contribution fee, they may also create for their hobbies. works.

In fact, the first batch of online authors did create for hobbies and feelings.

Web comics are different. Its creative cycle is too long, even a full-time cartoonist cannot shorten the creative cycle. Like "Steel Refining", Aunt Niu has been creating for ten years, and the cost of the assistant is also a lot of money. Therefore, a website without the strength can not be created at all.

On the earth, there are only a few well-known cartoon websites in China, such as Penguin and Youqi. Now that web cartoons have just risen, it is impossible for other companies to follow up too fast.

Hearing Shen Xin's words, Wang Wenhong felt that it made sense, so he nodded slightly: "In the short term, there should be only one company on Doman.com... I hope it can survive."

Shen Xin raised his brows slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, smiling but not smiling, but his thoughts looked far away.
