Chapter 368: Whether to introduce
After hanging up Tamagawa Haruka's phone, Murakami didn't pay much attention to this matter.
As he said, "Shounen 1eap" has no shortage of good comics, and if alternatives can be found in China, even if the quality is not comparable, it will reduce a lot of costs.
The introduction of comics is not low cost for "Shounen 1eap", especially for simultaneous serialization.
At the beginning, he chose to introduce "Soul of the Game" because "Soul of the Game" has already aroused a lot of response on the Internet, and he made a steady profit for "Shounen 1eap".
The same is true of the facts, the sales of 150,000 copies of "Soul of the Game" is proof.
Murakami is also looking forward to Shen Xin's new works. But to run a large magazine, you can't just rely on personal preference, you must put the profits in place.
Unless it is a big hit, "Senior 1eap" does not need to help "icfuture".
What is a big hit? Of course, it has passed the test of time and has been recognized by readers in District 11.
If you want to serialize on "Shounen 1eap", the popularity of manga cannot be lower than that of "Gossip", which is Murakami's standard.
Murakami's view is that after the thirty episodes, he will see if he has a chance to cooperate.
The response of the market is the criterion for testing whether a work is valuable.
This is Murakami's belief, therefore, before "icfuture" took the initiative to negotiate with him, he did not intend to take this matter to heart.
A week later, Shang Haozhi called, and Yokoi served as an interpreter, and the two parties had a brief communication.
Shang Haozhi's thoughts are consistent with Murakami's guess. He sold the copyright of Shen Xin's new work in District 11. At the same time, in order to give Murakami an intuitive impression of "Steel Refining", he sent the first story to Murakami via email.
Shen Xin also knew that before the original painting came out, the pictures in the first few episodes represented the work. Therefore, what was submitted on the surface is, in fact, very close to the line draft.
From a reader's point of view, Murakami's perception is not affected at all. But he also knows that few cartoonists can still perform well in new works after changing the subject matter.
Whenever the subject is changed, the cartoonists whose achievements are still stable at the forefront are regarded as treasures in every magazine.
Is Shen Xin such an author?
From Murakami's point of view, it can't be seen now.
In fact, after learning that Tamagawa Haruka was preparing to create evil manga, his expectations for Tamagawa Haruka were also adjusted accordingly.
The excitement of readers is different for different subjects.
The author wants to find the rhythm of different types of comics, not overnight.
Hot-blooded comics, readers like fierce fighting scenes, the logic may not be rigorous, but the pictures must be hot.
Love comics are ignorant. They have intentions for each other, but they cannot be broken, but the intentions of both must be clearly conveyed to the readers. That kind of feeling is like a kitten living in his heart, constantly scratching the most itchy place in his heart. Knowing that the author is "fishing", readers will buy and read as soon as the latest episode is published.
Inference comics, at the moment of reasoning and revealing the real murderer, as for the picture, it does not need to be popular, but the plot and reasoning must be reasonable-readers enjoy the coolness brought by high IQ.
No matter what kind of comics, they have their own rhythm. How to set up contradictions, how to pave the way, and how to make readers look forward to the climax, all these require skills.
The learning process is very exhausting, and most people don't focus on it.
Sometimes, the cartoonist may be very satisfied with the work, but the readers don't like it, and the result can only be "self-heavy". Even when the cartoonist was drawing the cartoon, he was so moved that he cried, but the reader felt embarrassed when he read it.
Some cartoonists can only draw on one subject, and if they change a little, they will fall into the street.
Once this hurdle can be crossed, then the future of the cartoonist will be extremely broad.
Murakami printed out what he had passed over and scanned it quickly. When he turned to the last page, his brows frowned.
The battle between Edward and the leader is looming, but the story comes to an abrupt end.
If the knuckles are in the throat, this is probably the case.
Murakami breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, a little uncomfortable.
The Huaxia people really have a scheming, and only half of it has been passed on, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Murakami also understood that the reason Shang Haozhi did this was to get himself in touch with him.
Knowing that the first episode was a bait, did he get the bait or not?
Murakami is also a little suspicious. This comic has not yet been proven by the market. Will it be successful if it is serialized simultaneously on "Shounen 1eap"?
He rubbed his chin, looked around, and now the team leader in the office, only Kotani, took it, walked to him, and tapped his shoulder.
"come here."
Otani was proofreading the text of the manuscript, and suddenly felt someone knocking on his shoulder. He was shocked. After he recovered, he saw that Murakami had already left the editorial department and got up and followed.
By the time he came to the reception room next door, Murakami had already poured two cups of coffee.
"Editor in chief, what's the matter?"
"Look at this one first." Murakami put a cup of coffee in front of Kotani.
"Who is so good? Directly submit the manuscript to you." Otani was a little surprised, the editor-in-chief generally does not review manuscripts.
"Look first before talking."
Kotani took it, turned around four or five pages, suddenly raised his head and asked: "The editor-in-chief~lightnovelpub.net~This is...Huaxia's manuscript, right?"
"How do you know?" Murakami looked surprised.
"Look at the style of painting, this is the style of Teacher Shen... It's different from "The Soul of Chess", but it looks familiar." Otani scratched his head.
At first, he always resisted Shen Xin and "Soul of Chess", but after learning about the comics, he immediately became a fan of "Soul of Chess".
"Can you see this too?"
"Obviously... I have read every book of "Soul of Chess" six or seven times. It is really good-looking. The characters in this are very similar to the characters of "Soul of Chess"." Otani said in a deep voice.
"Yes. This is Mr. Shen's. "Icfuture" asked us whether to purchase serialization rights. After I read it, I was in a dilemma, so I want to hear your suggestions."
Kotani nodded slightly, took a deep breath, read it carefully, closed it, and shook his head slightly.
"How?"
"I can't see it." Kotani looked frustrated. "In this sentence, many concepts are not explained. For example, what does the "God Realm" refer to? Why does the body disappear when the "God Realm" is violated? What is a synthetic beast? When the protagonist’s younger brother is refining it, he has to draw a magic circle, but the protagonist puts his hands together and presses it on the ground to make a weapon from the stone surface? Why doesn’t he need to draw a circle?
"Ms. Shen didn't explain these contents. If he can justify himself and construct a reasonable system, and the plot is above average, the results of this work can be expected. In fact, compared to the previous few words, I care more about it. What kind of world will Teacher Shen "create"."
"Then do you think we should give up this comic, or serialize it?"
"Interview!" Otani said in a deep voice.
