My Cartoonist Guide

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Duoman published a message on its official Weibo that "Y’s" has reached 284,000 subscriptions within 24 hours.

For authors of Shen Xin's level, this subscription volume is not too much.

If you convert "Steel Refining", it may break 600,000 to 700,000 within 24 hours. If piracy is excluded, the subscription volume will be even higher.

But "Y’s" was able to achieve this popularity, which has exceeded many people's expectations.

This also shows a problem, good works, no matter what format serialization, will get a lot of money.

When Tong Yu learned of the news, he was negotiating with others on cooperation at the wine table. Afterwards, he saved time for small talk and quickly reached an agreement with the other party.

After leaving the hotel, Tong Yu drove to the editorial department of Duoman.com and called Qian Sheng and Yuan Zhe to the conference room.

"What's the situation now?" Tong Yu asked immediately after sitting down.

"The number of subscriptions for Chapter 64 of "Y’s" has exceeded 290,000. It is expected that by the end of the week, there should be 400,000." Qian Sheng explained.

"Huh, luckily it's not a paper book on sale." Tong Yu let out a sigh of relief.

Yuan Zhe and Qian Sheng looked at each other and understood the meaning of Tong Yu's words.

They previously estimated that 200,000 copies per week. If they are sold in accordance with the separate book, it is estimated that they will be sold out in one or two days. But web comics have no such concerns.

"Yes, and the number of subscriptions is just one story. If it is the length of the booklet, the income should be doubled several times." Yuan Zhe said.

A single book usually has 8 or 9 words, and the subscription volume is estimated to increase several times.

"This also shows from the side that this mode of subscribing by'words' is feasible. In the future, can we also add more works to this mode?" Qian Sheng asked.

"The ratio of 7:3 is too high, and we can hardly make any money. Fortunately, Mr. Shen said that although the ratio is high, he is a flag after all. I think there is nothing wrong with spending money to buy a flag. Although "Y's" is A long-time comic, but the plot is good, and it is very suitable for making a movie. In addition, even if we only get 30%, the income is not small. Other cartoonists want to get this ratio." Tong Yu shook his finger and said.

"Then adjust the different proportions according to the different levels of the authors. The average author is five to five points, and the higher-level authors, such as the winners of the Golden Brush Award, are based on 64 points, and the highest-level authors, like Teacher Shen and Teacher Wang , They can get a split of seven to three. This also allows other authors to have a goal to strive for." Qian Sheng suggested.

"Alright." Tong Yu nodded, touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Right, I heard that Mr. Shen has taken apart the copyright of "DN"?"

"Yes, that's what Wang Wenhong said." Yuan Zhegang spoke out and remembered one more thing, "Wait, Mr. Tong, do you want to..."

"Find a time to buy the film and television rights of "DN". We don't do animation, but we do film and television." Tong Yu said.

"That's true. But, let's take a look at the market's feedback? If nothing else, "DN" should be serialized soon. Moreover, even if this comic is adapted, the film produced may be limited." Yuan Zhe Explained.

Although "DN" has not been serialized yet, judging from the information conveyed by the short story, not everyone of all ages can watch it.

Tong Yu rubbed his chin without making a sound.

If you really want to limit the level, it is estimated that a number of audiences will be reduced. How to do it, you still have to wait and see, at least look at the market's reaction.

...

"Y’s" reached 300,000 on the first day, approaching 600,000 subscriptions in a single week, which surprised Shen Xin. But preparing two comics at the same time also made Shen Xin very busy.

"DN" must prepare three or even four-character manuscripts before it can be officially serialized. At the same time, "ComicFuture" also frees up space for "DN"-it is basically determined to be in the 26th issue, with a poster on the front page.

Readers are looking forward to it, waiting for the serialization of "DN", but before that, they need to wait another month.

This is the problem caused by different media.

In the eyes of most readers, a paper magazine is a very formal platform. The serialized works must be edited and screened and the quality is guaranteed. Online comics appear to be mixed with public opinion.

There are fine works such as "Y’s" and "Age of Gods", as well as many works of low quality.

The advantages of web comics are equally obvious, that is, the update time is free, and there is no need to wait for free pages.

On the other hand, during this period of time, "Y’s" has been consistently performing well, with a weekly subscription volume of 600,000, which has a tendency to rise to 700,000.

In the follow-up plot, Yi Gui and the girl-Qi Xiaoquan (Qi Xiaoquan)-are implicated together due to various coincidences. Qi Xiaoquan begins to pursue Yi Gui and at the same time deepens Iori's misunderstanding.

In this plot, Shen Xin also made extensive changes to the original work.

In "I's", Seto Kazuki was tricked into the female bath by Teraya Yasaya, and "frankly met" with Iori, which deepened the misunderstanding. However, hot springs rarely appear in Huaxia's manga, so do it again at this time. Moving the original work seems outrageous.

Shen Xin could only move the place where the misunderstanding occurred from the hot spring to the changing room of the bathhouse, causing the two people to misunderstand.

Readers feasted their eyes, but Shen Xin was "despised" by Xi Muhan for this.

Regarding this ~www.NovelMTL.com~, Shen Xin could only sigh silently in his heart. All this is to tell a good story.

On the other hand, after drawing the manuscripts of the first three chapters of "DN", Shen Xin handed the manuscripts to Yan Fei, who would translate them.

However, the translation of "DN" is more time-consuming than "Steel Refining", because it is more than "Steel Refining"...No, it has a lot more lines than other comics.

There are many lines, which can be regarded as a feature of Dachangshu's works. This is true of "DN" and the same is true of "Dream Eater".

But this can't blame him, because the two comics, one is a witty comic, and the other is an explanatory comic.

These two types of comics have a lot of lines. Similar comics include "Kindaichi", "Conan" (Wisdom Fight), and "Spirit of Food Halberd" (indicating dishes and ingredients).

Therefore, in addition to serving as the editor of "Ding Shi" and "DN", Yan Fei also put a lot of energy on translating the lines of "DN".

Time came to the end of June in a flash.

The number of subscriptions to "Y's" has gradually increased as the story progresses. Duoman has also established a legal department to be responsible for the D version and infringement lawsuits. It wants to further improve the performance and popularity of "Y's". At the same time, Feng Shuo The media has also begun recruiting actors and preparing to film "Y's" again.

With the blessing of animation, "The King of Rock" successfully reached the top of the little book, and once again entered the top three of the hot list; "Ding Shi" because it entered the plot of the domestic cooking competition, overwhelmed the "Alien Restaurant" , Won the third place in Xiaoshu.

At the same time, the first episode of "DN" entered the printing house along with the 26th issue of "ComicFuture".
