My Cartoonist Guide

"This is indeed a problem. We have discussed it on the way here." Wang Wenhong sighed.

"Ok?"

"In fact, not only pamphlets, in fact, even the sales of magazines have also declined."

"Really?" Shen Xin was taken aback.

"Well, in the last two weeks, magazine sales were about 4.9 million copies. "Hunting Abyss" is about to end. Many people bought magazines out of feelings, but last week, magazine sales suddenly dropped by 400,000 copies. Editor I thought it was due to the fluctuation of sales. I didn’t expect that the sales of the single-line books that were released during the same period also fell. This is very terrible, otherwise, Mr. Shang will not be anxious to let you come out and sign the book to gain popularity." Wang Wenhong looked on. sad.

The new comics of "The King of Rock and Roll" dropped sharply from the peak of 600,000 copies in a single week to 140,000 copies, a drop of 3/4. If the 2.3 million copies of "Steel Refining" are left with 3/4, it will be considered as "ComicFuture". ", you will also feel pressure.

"Will it be the D version?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"The D version that we first thought of was also the D version, but the D version does not exist now. Whether at home or abroad, the D version is very early... No, it should be said that it appeared almost at the same time as the original? In every forum , Or in the penguin group, there must be a D version, and the stickers are not new. At that time, the sales of single-page books and magazines were not very important. Therefore, we excluded this factor. We have also been to those forums, The popularity is not much yet.” Yan Fei explained.

"It's different." Shen Xin shook his head, "Now is different from the past."

"Which is different?" Wang Wenhong asked puzzledly.

"In the past...there wasn't much web." Shen Xin smiled bitterly.

"Ah? No matter how you say it, Duoman won't do illegal things, right?" Yan Fei could hardly imagine Duoman's work on the D version of "ComicFuture".

Wang Wenhong meditated for a while, and an idea quickly flashed through his mind.

"I know……"

"Know what? Don't sell it!" Yan Fei said impatiently.

"What Mr. Shen said is not that Duoman.com uses our comics, but that the emergence of Duoman.com has made some people realize that a D version of comics website can be created. This website also contains "ComicFuture" and "MangaFly". , "Flying", "Manweekly", and even Duoman.com's works... Moreover, they may all be free." Wang Wenhong said in a deep voice.

"This...how can this be done?" Xi Muhan asked in surprise.

If Wang Wenhong said that, who would buy magazines and booklets in the future?

"It's all speculation now that all this talks about. Going to these websites is the key, right?" Shen Xin reminded.

"Yes."

"Xiaohan, let me use your notebook." Yan Fei turned to look at Xi Muhan.

"Yeah." Xi Muhan nodded quickly.

"Brother Wang, there are free desktop computers below..." Shen Xin pointed downstairs.

"I see." Wang Wenhong immediately got up and walked downstairs.

"Xiao Han, Teacher Shen, don't take this matter to your heart. Creation is important."

"But... the second volume of "Ding Shi" will be on sale soon." Xi Muhan fidgeted.

"Don't worry, there is a magazine! If it is really the reason for the D version, the magazine must solve this matter before the release of "Ding Shi"." Yan Fei promised.

Hearing these words, Xi Muhan felt much more relieved.

"The magazine is going to publish "The Journey of Two", are you ready for this?"

"Sister Yan, I wrote "The Journey of Two People" first, and then changed the script, so I only need to modify it." Xi Muhan explained.

"Well, it's been revised. Give it to me quickly. I have to hand it over to the editorial department of the light so that they can proofread."

"The Journey of Two People" is based on the popularity of comics to make a fortune. Therefore, the quality requirements are not as high as those of magazines.

To be more blunt, it must be done before the end of "Two Men's Journey".

The reason why the magazine did this is not difficult to guess-taking advantage of this popularity, to collect money.

When Yan Fei took the notebook and came downstairs, Xi Muhan came to Shen Xin's side.

"Brother Xin, what do you think about this..."

"Huh? D version?"

"Yeah. I'm a little worried..." Xi Muhan was uneasy.

"Ding Shi" has just taken off, and the sales volume of the first volume is good, but the second volume has not yet been released, and this kind of thing has happened. Xi Muhan's hesitation and entanglement can be imagined.

"Don't worry, the D version'kills' won't kill us." Shen Xin explained.

"That's good." Xi Muhan let out a sigh of relief.

Shen Xin has more experience than her. Sometimes... No, she has always regarded Shen Xin as a support.

"But... we also "kill" the D version." Shen Xin rubbed his face. "Moreover, since the D version was released from the small box of the Internet, I am afraid it will be difficult to go back in the future."

This sentence is not alarmist.

Even the "jump" in the 11th district of the earth is troubled by the D version of the website. They have worked hard, but it is difficult to have an immediate effect.

Previously, the D version was only spread by paper media, and its scope was limited, but after entering the Internet age, the D version has enriched its communication methods.

In particular, duoman.com spent a lot of money last year and the year before, resulting in an increase in website traffic. Although on the popularity list, "Steel Refining" has been suppressing a lot of comics such as "Age of the Gods", but Duoman.com's app is really making a lot of money, even if the bonus of the "Golden Brush" award is deducted, there should be a surplus. .

In the past two years, Duoman.com has had the greatest impact on the comics industry. It is not so much that it threatened the paper magazines, it is better to say that its appearance has changed the reading habits of readers, allowing readers to accept online and mobile reading—— Before, they had always used books to read.

"Since you have accepted the benefits of the Internet, you must accept the disadvantages it brings. This is equivalent exchange." Shen Xin added.

"Then what shall we do?" Xi Muhan cried.

"Our role is very weak. It mainly depends on how the magazine and other platforms operate. What we have to do is to survive ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Don't worry, haven't you heard what Brother Wang and Sister Yan said? This time it is affected. Yes, not just one or a few cartoonists, but many people, there will always be a way." Shen Xin comforted.

When Xi Muhan heard Shen Xin's words, he stamped his foot and rushed downstairs to Yan Fei's side.

Gao Hang and the others raised their heads and looked at Xi Muhan, who looked anxious, with a confused look.

Shen Xin glanced at Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei who were busy downstairs, and sighed.

I hope that I don’t want to be emphasized by myself, otherwise, no one in the entire industry can be alone.

Shen Xin picked up the pressure-sensitive pen and just drew a single page on the pen display when he heard Wang Wenhong's voice from downstairs, "found it!"

"I found it too!" Yan Fei yelled almost at the same time.

Everyone in the studio turned their eyes to the two of them.

First set a small goal, such as 1 second remember: Shukeju
