My Cartoonist Guide

This is a dialogue between two senior executives of the company, so people in the office are very curious about what kind of "collision" there will be between two people.

"Okay." Qian Sheng drew the attention of these people back, "Don't think about those who have nothing, start working!"

"Oh!"

The people in the studio responded, bowing their heads and continuing to work.

Tong Yu and Yuan Zhe came to the coffee shop downstairs, which is regarded as a place for the company to rest, but it is working hours and no one comes over.

Two people came to sit down at the round table against the glass wall, and each ordered a cup of coffee.

"What's going on now? Why is "Age of Gods" so much worse than "Steel Refining"? The publicity is not in place?" Tong Yu asked.

This is what he cares most about. After all, he spent a lot of money on "Age of Gods", and, from the current point of view, "Age of Gods" is indeed the face of Duowan.

"President Tong, the quality of a work is not directly related to publicity. If a book doesn't work, then even if it is intensively publicized, it will eventually fail." Yuan Zhe said sternly.

"You mean Wang Yunze can't do it?" Tong Yu frowned.

"Teacher Wang and "Age of the Gods" of course can. This can be known from the gap between it and the third place "Sirius". Teacher Wang, the treasure is not old."

"Then why did you lose to "Steel Refining"?" Tong Yu puzzled.

"Mr Tong..." Yuan Zhe took a deep breath and looked at Tong Yu. "Is it really that difficult to admit a person? Is there only one option of "The Age of the Gods" is too bad? It can't be "Steel Lian". "Too outstanding?"

"..."

Tong Yu's throat seemed to be stuck suddenly, and he quickly picked up his coffee and took a sip.

"Recently, the hottest comic in District 11 is "Gang Lian". Isn't it surprising? The comic industry in District 11 is better than China, and the competition is no smaller than China. It is not clear that so many readers can pay attention to "Gang Lian". Is it a problem?"

"What do you mean?" Tong Yu originally wanted to get angry at Yuan Zhe, but now don't say angry, it's cheaper if you don't get scolded.

"I heard that the price you paid to Teacher Shen was 10,000 per page?" Yuan Zhe suddenly smiled.

"..."

Tong Yu rolled his eyes, picking which pot to open or not.

"Is it enough now?" Yuan Zhe asked.

"Mistakes... I missed my eyes." Tong Yu said with a stiff neck. "When I buy cultural relics, I miss my eyes, let alone people."

"The cultural relics are true and false, but people don't have them, people only have value, or they are not. What I want to say is that Teacher Shen is more aware of his value, so he will not talk to you until the conditions you give him reach his bottom line. Talk." Yuan Zhe said angrily.

Tong Yu knocked on the table twice, "I didn't come here to get angry."

"I know, but I also want to say what I am thinking." Yuan Zhe took a long breath and picked up the coffee cup.

When Shen Xin debuted, he knew that at that "Comic Festival", Shen Xin had an absolute advantage over Ye Hexu. At that time, Ye Hexu's work was "Hunting the Abyss". Until now, this work was Still one of the signature comics of "ComicFuture".

However, he didn't care at the time, which caused Shen Xin to be poached by "ComicFuture", and he knew it was too late when "Soul of Chess" was published.

Sure enough, after the end of "The Soul of Chess", Shen Xin drew another "Gang Lian" that was even hotter than "The Soul of Chess"...

It is true that Wang Yunze used "The Legend of the Dragon King" to "appoint the gods with one book." However, Shen Xin also completed "Tu Shen" by virtue of three cartoons, which is not exaggerated.

"Now, even if you want to talk at a price of 30,000 per page, I'm afraid there is no chance." Yuan Zhe shook his head.

Tong Yu grinned.

As long as he makes a price, "ComicFuture" will definitely follow the price unconditionally.

The current situation shown in "Steel Refining" is not as simple as "The Legend of the Dragon King".

It is more popular than "The Legend of the Dragon King".

"What are you going to do now?"

"Wait."

"Ok?"

"With the current results of "Steel Refining", it is estimated that it will take a long time. But there will be conflicts between the platform and the cartoonist."

"contradiction?"

"Yes. "ComicFuture", as the largest comic magazine in China, has a great desire to control cartoonists. In fact, most companies also have this mentality. They don't want to be out of their own control. The pinnacle of a cartoonist shouldn’t be reconciled unless one party makes a concession. In short, just wait slowly, hoping for a chance."

This is the best way Yuan Zhe can think of.

Tong Yu knocked on the table twice, called the waiter, and ordered another cup of black tea.

His throat now seemed to have gotten in a fly.

"If what you said is true, don't we also have to be restricted by Shen Zheng?"

"We have two ways to go. First, find another Shen Zheng to prove that he is not the only one; second, if you can't find it, do you have a better way? Now in the Internet age, even if there is no platform, He only posted the comics on Weibo and it was still influential."

Tong Yu thought for a while, and what Yuan Zhe said was right.

The biggest problem for cartoonists to serialize on the Internet is funding. After all, salary for assistants is not a small amount of income, but Shen Xin is not short of funds.

but……

"The first point you said, isn't it the reason why we hold the "Golden Paintbrush" award? As long as a "Shen Zheng" comes out, we won't be afraid of him."

"Speaking of'Golden Paintbrush', I have two things to say."

"Ok?"

"First, I suggest extending the award period, so that you can have more time to observe the commercial value of the work. For example, every two or three years. As for the bonus, we can fix 10 million instead of vacancies."

Tong Yu nodded. He now thinks that it takes only 7 months to judge a work, and the time is indeed too short.

"There is a second point." Tong Yu reminded.

"The second point is that someone swiped the votes. On the last day, at least 10,000 votes were swiped for a work. Since it is not clear whether that work was also swiped before, it is impossible to determine its true results.

"Ticketing?" Tong Yu was taken aback. He didn't expect that there would be ticketing ~www.NovelMTL.com~ In the opinion of many people, if you enter the top ten, you have a half chance to win a million prizes. This kind of investment is of course worthwhile. "Yuan Zhe explained.

"This is the first'Golden Paintbrush'. If we are not determined, it is likely that a large number of plots will appear later... What is your opinion?

"I have contacted the technical department, and the evidence is basically conclusive. My opinion is to disqualify the work from participating in the competition," Yuan Zhe said.

"Cancel his qualification... and his work will never be accepted, and his author's backstage will be sealed." Tong Yu frowned.

"His work is not bad, I think it is a good work."

"If it's just some painless punishment, isn't the'Golden Paintbrush' award a joke? We actually invested money in it, and we want to make it the best comic award in China. If you get a lot of comics, you can do it. Go in, is that fair to other cartoonists who have not paid their votes?" Tong Yu asked.

Kill the chicken and the monkey...

Yuan Zhe immediately understood Tong Yu's thoughts.
