"Yes, to a certain extent, second-tier magazines are really not taken seriously. No matter which institution, the strong have the right to speak. But within the organizing committee, each other is restrained." Yan Fei turned over again. One page notepad.

　　 "How to contain it?" Shen Xin asked curiously.

"Every year, the organizing committee has 12 positions, of which 7 positions are fixed. They are three major journals, plus four magazines with a single issue sales of more than 1.5 million copies-"Man Weekly", "Girls' Century", "Morning District" and "Top Student Weekly." In addition, there are five non-fixed magazines. Before the meeting opens, the Cartoonists Association will send emails to the five magazines and invite them to serve as members of the organizing committee."

　　 Cartoonists Association mainly focuses on retired old cartoonists, and has a relatively high prestige in the comics industry.

"Although the organizing committee is composed of 12 magazines, there are only 7 magazines with voting rights, and the three major journals and four minor journals are the main ones. If the cartoons participating in the selection are not related to these seven magazines, then , These seven magazines will use voting to determine the winning works.

　　 "Once a comic belongs to a certain magazine after participating in the selection of works, then the voting qualification of this magazine will be replaced by one of the candidate magazines."

　　 "In other words, the magazine is not qualified to vote for his own comics?" Shen Xin finally understood it.

　　 Yan Fei nodded.

　　 "I didn't expect it to be so complicated."

"There is no way. After all, every award has a large bonus, and at the same time, it can bring a great honor to the cartoonist. As long as there is a chance, everyone will work hard. In addition, in order to ensure the fairness of the vote For sex, the Cartoonists Association will also supervise the entire selection process.” Yan Fei closed her notepad, and basically just so much news she inquired.

　　 "Think of it this way, "Y’s" cannot be played in July. The impact is still quite big." Shen Xin leaned on the sofa, thinking a little confused.

　　 "Yes, but there is a little room for maneuverability," Yan Fei said.

　　 "How do you say?" Shen Xin puzzled.

"Because of the conditions of the newcomer award, the length of each comic will not be too long. If it is shown in the first half of the year, it must start to produce animation now...even years ago, so that the original plot will appear and the overall sense of comics will be broken. For this reason, the newcomer comics are usually shown in the third quarter.

"The popularity selection in July, August, and September is another model. Only five comics are eliminated at this stage, and the accumulated popularity will not be brought into the final selection. In other words, we only need to press It's OK after 6th place." Yan Fei explained.

　　 "Sister Yan, even if it is so stipulated. But when those magazines vote, they will also consider the popularity of the second stage? After all, it is not good for Brother Xin." Xi Muhan was worried.

"I know. But in the third stage, "NewWorld" can't help. All Mr. Shen can rely on is the quality of "Y's". Some words are actually cruel. The president and editor-in-chief never expected Mr. Shen. To get the'Newcomer Award'. As long as "Y's" can enter the third stage, they are very satisfied.

"Attracting enough eyeballs and using these popularity to increase the sales of the magazine as much as possible is what the president is most concerned about. Instead of working hard to win an award that may not be won, it is better to just make the comics shortlisted. . Attract some readers with the least cost. After all, if you can’t get the'Newcomer Award', then there is no difference between the second and fifth place. This is how small magazines work."

　　 Yan Fei said that, biting her lip, holding the notepad tightly with both hands, her nails deeply embedded in the rubber cover of the notepad.

　　 "Sister Yan, I just want to ask, do you think the same way?" Shen Xin sat up straight and looked at Yan Fei.

Yan Fei shook her head, her expression a little excited, "Of course not. I remember that I said, "You have no less rights and interests. If I can't do it, I will resign." I am optimistic about "Y's". Even without the support of the magazine, I will do my best. I think it’s not just me. If Wang Wenhong is in my position, he will be like me.

　　 "The dream of a cartoonist is to draw a cartoon that is recognized by the world, and the dream of a cartoon editor is to look at the co-authors and stand on top of the cartoonist."

　　 The corners of Shen Xin's mouth cocked and a chuckle appeared on his face.

　　 "Sister Yan, I want to see the president and editor-in-chief as soon as possible. I want to know what they think."

　　 "We go to work on the seventh day of the day, the day after tomorrow. At that time, you will go to the "NewWorld" editorial department, and I will take you to the president and editor-in-chief." Yan Fei wrote this matter in a notepad.

　　 "Well, the seventh day of the first lunar month... the separate edition of "The Hunting Abyss" seems to be on sale on that day."

　　 "February 16? That's right." Yan Fei also thought of this.

　　 "So... the competition for the'Newcomer Award' has actually begun." Shen Xin murmured.

　　 After Yan Fei bid farewell, Shen Xin returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.

　　 The next day, after Shen Xin got up, she sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

　　 Manga Capsule gave him knowledge about painting, but did not tell him how to run manga. Especially, what can he do when he is at an absolute disadvantage.

　　 The production of animation is not expected in a short time.

　　Advertising?

　　 If it is only for the promotion of comics, and no new elements are added, the effect will be very limited.

　　 game?

　　 "Y’s" can indeed be made into Galgame, but the production cycle of the game is not short, and it is far from satisfying the thirst.

Fiction?

　　 Many novels are changed to comics, but it is not common to change from comics to novels.

Then there are figures, gashapons and the like~lightnovelpub.net~ By the way, "Y's" has the potential to be released. The female characters appearing in it are all very beautiful, and they are shown in "Y's". The scale is also very suitable.

　　 However, only the figure is launched, and the effect is not good. The nature of the figure determines that it can only "kill" regular customers, and few people are interested in unfamiliar figures.

　　 If you can’t expand your readership, you won’t be able to increase single-line book sales.

　　 As for movies, it's even further. Most comic-changing movies are led by animation, and investment is made after judging the performance.

　　 So, the way to be friendly to old readers and attract new readers... really needs to think about it.

　　 Shen Xin thought for a long time, and his thoughts slowly drifted to the "Dream Eater".

　　 Love comics are also a relatively niche type compared to fighting enthusiastic comics.

　　 If you compare it to online novels, in general, fantasy and the city can be regarded as "kingdoms", while other categories, such as ghosts, suspense, sports, and games, are regarded as "evil ways."

　　Similarly, love comics are also "evil ways" to passion comics.

　　 "The King's Way" has the "kingly way" way to prove the way, and the "evil way" also has the "evil way" survival law.

　　 Maybe... can we start from other aspects?

　　 Shen Xin thought of this, thinking deeply, trying to find a ray of light from the dead ends.

　　 Xi Muhan came out of the room, poured a glass of milk, looked back and saw Shen Xin sitting on the sofa in a daze, confused, and then saw a smile on Shen Xin's face.

　　 "Brother Xin, are you okay?" Xi Muhan was a little worried.

　　 "It's okay." Shen Xin stretched out, "It's just that something interesting comes to mind suddenly."
