Chapter 1186: Reorganization of "Comic Festival"

Since Shen Xin expressed his opinions and opinions, Xi Muhan, Yan Fei, and Wang Wenhong began to step up their time and prepare to recreate.

The articles submitted to the editorial department are usually three chapters. The first chapter is longer, usually around 40 pages, and the second and third chapters are slightly less. But Shen Xin said before that it might be serialized in a monthly publication. .

The length of monthly comics is different from that of weekly comics, so the plot design of each story is different.

Xi Muhan asked Shen Xin how to design. Shen Xin thought about it and decided to create 20 pages of each sentence first. As for the reason, Shen Xin felt that two sentences and 20 pages could be combined into one sentence, and the structure would not be too big. Changes, but a 40-page story is more difficult to split into two, because the structure in one story has been designed, and to disassemble it is equivalent to destroying the structure of the comic.

Shen Xin still vividly remembers the pain of dividing into two when drawing "Steel Refining".

"By the way, Xiaohan, in fact, you don't need to draw anymore, you can create a script first." Shen Xin thought for a while, and decided to let Xi Muhan change his strategy this time.

"Huh? Why?" Xi Muhan asked puzzledly.

"" is still being serialized, and it will take a few months to finish. If you think of better ideas, it will be easier to modify the script. Moreover, when you come up with the script, everyone can judge the structure of the story as a whole. , And it’s easier to adjust... If you don’t know how to write scripts, just write novels directly. This is your old line, shouldn’t it be a problem?

Xi Muhan's writing style is very delicate, he is said to be a light novel, but it also has some styles of old sayings.

However, over the years, Xi Muhan has been studying since he stepped into this industry. In addition, he hasn't written a novel for a long time, and he should be able to develop a new style again.

"It's fine." Xi Muhan thought repeatedly and nodded earnestly, "If it's a script, please ask Yan Jie and Wang Ge to do more work and change the novel into a script."

Shen Xin was a little surprised when she heard Xi Muhan's words. She didn't expect that she would use the strength of Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong. Then she thought that she would pay more attention to it this time than any previous time. It should be because she really wanted to make "Mandao" achieve results. .

"One more point, don't extend the plot for the sake of extending the plot. Any story has a boundary. If you cross this line, the story will be very watery. There will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so don't worry."

"Well, I see." Xi Muhan nodded heavily.

Due to the change to novels and scripts, the progress is much faster than the original. However, this also places a lot of demands on Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong. Both of them are comic editors and want to change the novel into a script. Need to adapt for a while.

Therefore, in the offices of Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei, you can often see two people holding books and notebooks and changing articles. In order to ensure the quality of comics, Xi Muhan also wrote novels about Man Dao in their offices.

Just when everyone in Shen Xin's studio found something to do, something unexpected happened to Shen Xin on the Internet-the Cartoonists Association and Yishu Culture, Duoman.com, "MangaFly", etc. After several magazines renegotiated, they decided to revise the "Comic Festival".

This time, the Cartoonists Association took into consideration the second-tier comic platforms and studios, and separated the second-tier and the first-tier platforms for an unprecedented time, deliberately awarding awards to the second-tier platforms, for example, the best feature-length award with the highest bonus, with a bonus of up to 500,000 yuan. And it should be noted that this bonus is only awarded to the author, not to the comic platform or studio.

Then, various awards, such as the Short Story Award, the Girl Comic Award, and many other awards, also ranged from 50,000 to 300,000 yuan, which greatly aroused the interest of second-line cartoonists.

As for the awards on the first-tier platforms, some changes have also been made. The highest prize is still the best feature story, with a prize money of up to three million. However, this award is not held every year. Considering that the creation cycle of long-form comics is relatively long, this award is awarded every three years.

In addition, the previous voting model has also undergone some changes. It is based on the income of the single book/subscription. If it is a long-form comic award, it is based on the total income of three years. Ten winners are selected and then selected by the jury.

In this way, the intervention of human factors is cancelled.

Not long after this news was released, there was a heated discussion on the Internet because the bonus was too high, and the highest prize was the same as the Golden Paintbrush Award. Moreover, there have been rumours that Duoman.com is also deliberately lowering the Golden Paintbrush Award. The prize money is either this year or the next.

Once it comes true, the "Comic Festival" will become the most appealing comic award in the country.

"The highest prize of the second-tier platform is only 500,000. Isn't it too little? The first prize of the first-tier platform is three million?"

"There are already a lot. There is no competition on the first-tier platforms, and the pressure on the second-tier platforms is drastically reduced. Moreover, the level of the comic magazines on the second-tier platforms is not much different. It can be said that every work has a chance to be selected~lightnovelpub.net~you Say, is this discriminating against second-tier comics? A prize of 3 million, a second-tier platform is not even eligible."

"According to you, the football league is divided into the Super League and the First Division. Is it also discrimination? After all, the Super League has more bonuses than the First Division?"

"I heard that, except for the cartoonists' association, the majority of the prize money is from magazines and online platforms. Otherwise, the prize money will not be as high as 3 million."

"But, I want to get these three million... Isn't that going to the first-line platform?"

"You are really right. Their purpose is really to let cartoonists on the second-tier platform to serialize on the first-tier platform. People, there must always be a goal."

"OK, I have decided, the next stop is "ComicFuture"!"

"I'm going to Duowanwang!"

...

There was a lot of noise on the Internet, but Shen Xin knew about it, but Shi Ping called him to tell him and mentioned two things.

The first thing is to ask your side to serve as the honorary chairman of the "Comic Festival". The second thing is to invite Shen Xin to participate in the kick-off meeting of the "Comic Festival" to be held at the end of June, which is equivalent to a press conference.

After thinking a little bit, Shen Xin agreed. No matter which one of these two things, it is to expand the popularity of domestic comics. No matter what point, he is obliged and duty-bound.

Not long ago, he mentioned to Yu Chen about the training of newcomers. He did not expect that Yu Chen would take it seriously, and combined with other magazines and online platforms to rejuvenate the "Comic Festival", which Shen Xin did not expect. In terms of effects, if everything goes well, it should also help the cultivation of newcomers.
