My Cartoonist Guide

? "Steel Refining" suddenly became No. 2 from No. 4 on the Hot List, which exceeded many people's expectations and made many people feel helpless at the same time. But some people know the reason, such as Qian Sheng, the editor-in-chief of Duoman.com.

He glanced at the popularity rankings on the screen, looked at the comments of netizens on another web page, snorted coldly, and picked up the "Senior Leap" again.

As the editor-in-chief of a second-rate magazine in District 11, he is well versed in the rules of comics in District 11.

In a magazine, the position of a comic is regular.

Before a reader buys a magazine, he usually has to read a few pages in advance, but the time to make a decision is extremely short, and he often makes a decision when his brain is heated up. If in a very short period of time, it can successfully capture the reader's attention, the magazine has a great probability of being sold. The more popular and wonderful comics, the higher the position.

At the same time, as an imported comic, "Gang Lian" is naturally at a disadvantage when competing with other comics. That is to say, under the same conditions, "Young Leap" will give a better position to competitors of "Gang Lian". .

But in this issue, "Steelmaking" was placed in the second position for an unprecedented time, proving the quality of "Steelmaking".

In fact, the same is true for web comics.

In an interview, Tong Yu said that the biggest advantage of a website compared with a magazine is that it can store an unlimited amount of works. But he (deliberately) said one less thing. If these comics do not have a chance to appear in the recommended position, then these comics are equivalent to rushing to the library-it is really too difficult to be lifted by wild readers.

Even if it is recommended, there are good and bad points. The recommended positions above are better than those below, and the recommended positions with large pictures are better than text. The recommended position on the homepage is better than the secondary page.

These are as important as sorting in comic magazines.

Therefore, the position of "Steel Refining" in the second comic is not a decision made by the editorial department, but a judgment based on the content of this sentence. Furthermore, if the editorial department has seen the follow-up plot, it means that the next few words are very exciting.

The competition of "Young Leap" is so fierce that "Steel Refining" can rank in this position, proving that it is the best comic in the country.

As for China’s popularity list, it’s okay to bluff laymen, and insiders know what’s going on. The so-called popularity value above is based on the statistics of online comic search or discussion, and the relationship with quality is really not too great. relationship.

In addition, "Shoun Leap" is unprecedented in the previous color page, mentioning the animation of "Steel Refining". Although it is the size of a tofu block, Orochi takes over, and Shoji Uno is the supervisor, and its quality is definitely not said.

"Young Leap" rarely promotes the cartoons of Chinese cartoonists in magazines, and the last one it promoted was "Soul of the Game".

This shows one thing, "Young Leap" recognized Shen Zheng, and the market in District 11 also recognized Shen Zheng.

Compared with it... other domestic comics are far behind.

"Sirius" seems to be well-known in China, but if you really go out, "Senior Leap" may not really be worthy of it.

"Editor-in-chief, this is the list of comics uploaded in January given by Mr. Tong." An editor handed over a fax.

Qian Sheng took it and took a look. It turned out to be handwritten, with a total of 51 books, one of which was crossed out.

""Y’s"?" Qian Sheng remembered this comic. Although it was not published in District 11, it was very popular in the forum. Since it is an unfinished comic, there is also a lot of controversy among comic artists.

Many fan writers also gave their own endings, but compared with the original work, they still have a little flavor.

Qian Sheng remembered that the author of this comic was also Shen Zheng.

Give up "Y’s"? Is it really a good thing?

Qian Sheng scratched his head, he felt that this was not a good choice.

...

The "Sinner's Flesh" in "Steel Refining" tells the story of Roy's subordinates and the cyborgs. At the end of this sentence, Lisa confronts the robot Gratoni, and Wien is stopped by Lan Fang who came to help.

The war was about to start, but the story came to an abrupt end.

The topic of this remark was fermented on the Internet, and some people called Shen Xin a "dog with broken chapter."

"'King of Dogs', you are doing this too much!"

"Take off your pants, show me this? It's so cold, I have to mention it again!"

There are still people discussing the next development of the plot.

"I guess Lisa might die."

"No! I really like Lisa."

"I like it too, but when I met Gratoni... that big fat guy, who eats everything, Lisa is obviously at a disadvantage. At the same time, compared to Lisa, he is immortal."

"Hughes was killed by a robot..."

"Also, Lan Fang and Enwei, who is more powerful in the duel between the two of them?"

"I don't know! I really want to read the next sentence, Teacher Shen, hurry up!"

These discussions and comments, as well as the search for the latest discussion, kept the popularity of "Steel Refining" continuing to rise. The editorial department of "ComicFuture" also found that many bookstores have sold out the 48th issue of the magazine.

This means that the sales of 4 million copies are on the low side.

Of course, they can no longer print magazines, they can only increase the number of the next issue of "ComicFuture".

But at the same time, the performance of the recent one or two words of "Steel Refining" also made them full of expectations for "Steel Refining" and the magazine.

"Immediately find Teacher Shen and ask him to draw a color page. The cover of the next issue of the magazine will focus on "Steel Refining"!"

"But... the cover has been designed!" Zeng Yue reminded.

"Changed!" Shang Haozhi glared at Zeng Yue, "Now, the most important thing for the magazine is to make money and increase the sales of the magazine! By the way, the first MV of "Gossip: Beidou Cup" is not already online. Has it been promoted? In the next issue, add a page of advertisements to promote "Soul of Go", and let "Soul of Go" and "Steel Refining" be linked together! Go and notify the advertising department."

"Oh!" Zeng Yue immediately picked up the phone.

Shang Haozhi crossed his fingers and frowned slightly. At this moment, his heart was a little nervous. Whether "ComicFuture" can take off depends on this time.

"The arrangement of the color page below is...Xiao Wang, you can make sure with Teacher Shen again to see which front page color page you need a year ago~www.NovelMTL.com~ I will withdraw that issue! And Xu Jie...I also prepare the coloring page of "The King of Rock", the time is the second issue of the new year. Also, Xiao Jian, is the coloring page of Yelaoshr ready? Hurry up, and give me the coloring page of next year's first issue. he!"

Temporarily removing the pre-rolled color pages will hurt the cartoonist, but Shang Haozhi has no choice. At this time, the sales of the magazine are more important. As for other cartoonists, they can only go back and make compensation.

"Well, I'm almost ready, but the new story is 40 pages, so it's a little troublesome." Jian Xiaomei explained.

Shang Haozhi nodded, his palms covered with sweat.

By next year, "Hunting Abyss" will return, which is a boost to "ComicFuture". In addition, the charging of Duo Man.com will affect other comic magazines. No one knows.

But a year ago, "ComicFuture" wanted not to be opened, the biggest support was "Steel Refining".

In the complex mood of countless people, the 49th issue of "ComicFuture" was released.
