My Cartoonist Guide

The popular broadcast of "Gossip: Beidou Cup" drove the sales of two comics.

One is a booklet of the regular version of "The Soul of the Game", and the other is "Gang Lian".

The sales volume of the full version of "Soul of the Game" has also increased, but its price is relatively high, and there is only one volume. Therefore, the sales volume is not as direct as the above two originals.

If it weren't for the latest magazine of "icfuture" that had been sold out a year ago, it is estimated that "icfuture" could also increase sales.

Zuo Yuan changed into his work clothes, and the next step was to go to the supermarket to buy some discounted food. By the way, he could also buy some blank paper to prepare the name of the new comic.

Coming out of the locker room, Zuo Yuan passed by the front desk, and happened to see the TV hanging in the lobby, which was playing the premiere of "Hire".

Before, TV has also been broadcasted once.

He pretended to have a stomachache and hid in the bathroom.

He is a cartoonist, others are also cartoonists, but now he is so far away-it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a world of difference.

When he saw this premiere, he felt a deep inferiority complex, and there was also a trace of sorrow in his heart.

It is precisely because he cannot rely on comics to make money that he has to work here to beg for a bite of food.

However, deep down, he still couldn't let go of the dream of a cartoonist.

No one asked in the cold window of ten years, and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

This is the only motivation for him to persevere.

Seeing the premiere of "Soul of the Game" on TV, he wanted to leave in a hurry.

Seeing that I was about to walk out of the bookstore, I suddenly heard a voice coming from the TV.

"...As the hottest cartoonist in China, how do you treat the issue of subject selection?"

Material selection?

Zuo Yuan stopped suddenly, turned his head in surprise, and watched TV.

He also wanted to know... how Shen Zheng, as one of the most successful cartoonists in China, views this issue.

Look down on niche subjects?

No, Go itself is a niche subject, but "Soul of Chess" is very successful.

So, Teacher Shen Zheng, what is your answer?

Zuo Yuan stood in front of the bookstore, watching TV attentively, waiting for Shen Xin's answer.

"Follow the editor's words, because the editor is the person who knows you best..."

However, I have followed the editor's words...Is I really not talented?

Zuo Yuan was very anxious and continued to look up at the TV.

After that, Shen Xin's words made his mood drop to the freezing point.

"...There is no subject that can't produce good works, only authors who can't draw good comics..."

it is as expected……

Zuo Yuan sighed.

In the final analysis, the reason is still with him.

The strength of the author is more important than the subject matter.

Is it to give up or persist?

Zuo Yuan's brain was in a mess, and he turned and walked out of the bookstore.

"...The more difficult to create themes, once the finished product, the more readers will remember the work... If you want to do this, it is too difficult... to find a balance-between the characteristics of niche comics and readers' interest between……"

Zuo Yuan's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Too hard? Teacher Shen feels the same way?

Wait, he just said, to find a balance between the characteristics of niche comics and readers' interest... What does this mean?

Zuo Yuan turned around again, looked at the TV, and listened carefully.

Soon, Shen Xin's answer was over.

Zuo Yuan felt that he heard a lot, but he felt that he heard nothing.

"Zuo Yuan, haven't you left?" The store manager was curious when he saw Zuo Yuan who was standing outside the door and looking at the TV while holding a teacup.

"Not yet, I'm watching TV... watching the premiere." Zuo Yuan said.

"Premiere?" The store manager turned his head, "Online video sites have already existed..."

"Already? Which website?" Zuo Yuan asked quickly.

After knowing the name of the video website from the store manager, Zuo Yuan ran back home eagerly, not even buying half-price food or blank paper.

Open the door and drop the bag on the ground.

After Zuo Chan was taken away by Zheng Ping, the small room was much deserted and seemed lonely.

But at this moment, he didn’t care about it, and quickly turned on a desktop computer-he spent 2,000 yuan, bought a second-hand computer from a college student who was about to graduate-clicked on the video website that the store manager said, and typed in "Hire of Go". Premiere.

The Internet speed is relatively slow, so I can't see the high-definition, and even the playback of Puqing is somewhat intermittent.

He also recalled what Shen Xin said through the gap of the video buffer.

There are also differences in the same type of subject matter. This difference is reflected in the author's experience, experience and attitude towards the work...

Read a lot of books, accumulate a lot of experience, and devote yourself to the work...

I am now working in a bookstore, and I am already taking time to read various comics. I am also very attentive to my works, and the key lies in my experience.

Also, Mr. Shen also said, to find a balance between readers’ interest and the characteristics of niche comics...

So, what should I do?

Experience, reading, reader's interest, characteristics of comics...

These aspects must be improved quickly, and must be as soon as possible!

Zuohara clenched his fists, and his eyes fell on the display again.

...

The animation storm brought by "Hire of Go: Beidou Cup" has made many comic magazines red eyes.

An animation, in China’s film market, broke the 500 million mark in just one week, which is incredible. This achievement makes fans of "The Legend of the Dragon King" only enviable. Before, "The Legend of the Dragon King" was also put on the big screen when it was serialized. The box office turned out to be mediocre and barely paid.

You know, at that time, "The Legend of the Dragon King" was still serialized, and the popularity was good, but "The Spirit of Chess" had been over for two years.

Just the heat, the two comics are not on the same level.

But the benefits brought by the movie show a one-sided situation, which surprised many people.

Of course, generally speaking, the first week has the largest profit, so the final box office of "Gossip" should be 600 million or 700 million.

After that, "Gossip: Beidou Cup" should be sold to TV stations or websites.

On the whole, Zhenyu Technology has made a lot of money because of this comic.

"Icfuture" does not make much money in the movie, but with the big sales of "Hire of Go: Beidou Cup", the popularity of comics has also increased greatly.

Major bookstores have already put up posters of the full version of the second volume of "Soul of Go", and the number of bookings far exceeds that of the first volume.

Other production companies or magazines can only use "envious, jealous, hate" to describe the mood at the moment.

"500 million! 500 million now! If it is released for a month~www.NovelMTL.com~ if it breaks 700 million... Zhenyu Technology will make at least 150 million. Tong, do you have any decent comics on your website?"

Ke Bei, the manager of Ruiku Technology, came out of the cinema and couldn't wait to dial the phone.

"Yes, the results of "Sirius" are not bad."

"Forget about that kind of comics, I think it takes a lot of effort to pass the review."

After all, the state sector is involved.

"Or, "Shengwu Academy"..."

"Selling meat, do you think you can get on the big screen? Doing an ftg (fighting) game is the end...or else, teacher Wang's cartoon..."

"Shut up, Mr. Wang's work, we have to use it ourselves... It really doesn't work. Take a look at the works that participated in the'Golden Paintbrush' Award."

"Golden Paintbrush?" Ke Bei rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
