? This time, it is no longer just "ComicFuture" that has been impacted by Duo Man. The other two major magazines and first-line magazines such as Man Weekly are also feeling the pressure.

Since the main comics of most magazines will publish single-volume editions, and the comic audience outside the top 10 list of small books, there are not as many comics as the top comics.

As a result, many people gave up magazines and turned their attention to free comics.

The sales volume of the 46th issue of "ComicFuture" hit a new low.

Now even Bao Jiyi couldn't sit still, and immediately called Shang Haozhi who was in a meeting.

"In the current situation, what solution do you have?" Bao Jiyi sitting in the boss's chair, looking at Shang Haozhi standing in front of him, frowned.

"To be honest, it is difficult to rely on "ComicFuture" alone." Shang Haozhi is facing Bao Jiyi, his hair is already a bit messy, which is really rare for Bao Jiyi, who has always paid attention to his own image.

"is it?"

Bao Jiyi's eyes were sharp, and Feng Shuo's combination of punches was indeed overwhelming, and the entire comic book industry was upset by Feng Shuo.

Feng Shuo was like a catfish, which disturbed the water in the lake.

"Moreover, this is not the most important thing. Other small magazines have cooperated with Duoman.com to provide a lot of good cartoons. The combination between them is also very detrimental to us."

There is no shortage of high-quality comics in small magazines, but because the size of the magazine is too small and the magazine's assets are not strong enough, it is impossible to spend a lot of money on advertising. Now with the help of Duoman.com, many comics can be brought into close contact with readers through the monitor screen.

However, the cooperation between the small magazine and Duoman.com is limited to the completion of comics, because Duoman.com also has its own serialized comics, some of which are of very high quality, and are ranked first in the hot list of "Sirius" and third place. "Shengwu Academy" is an example.

Of course, they occupy the advantage of free comics, but if they are junk comics, even if they are free, no one will read them.

The rankings of "Game" and "Steel Refining" are separated by these two comics.

Coupled with the "Golden Paintbrush Grand Prix" that will start in December, Duoman.com is also trying to train its own cartoonists.

On the other hand, "ComicFuture", even though "Different World Restaurant" performed well during this period of time, but helplessly, "ComicFuture" lost its signature comics one after another. One or two signature comics have been difficult to stop the decline in magazine sales.

But Bao Jiyi can't criticize Shang Haozhi. It's not just that "ComicFuture" is under pressure from Duman. Other magazines are also uncomfortable.

"Then you mean... we're just waiting to die?" Bao Jiyi tapped on the desktop, "We also have web comics-since they can be free, so can we."

"No!" Shang Haozhi shook his head quickly, "The authors who signed the contract gave us the electronic copyright because they believed in us..."

"But we are also thinking about them. If "ComicFuture" fails, they will not be able to benefit from these comics." Bao Ji said meaningfully.

Shang Haozhi clenched his fists, "But it's still a drop in the bucket, and it won't change the overall situation-I suggest you wait until next year."

"Next year? Why?"

"Next year... Duoman.com will charge fees. By then, magazine sales may pick up. In addition, "Hunting Abyss" will return, and our situation will be better." Shang Haozhi suggested.

"But Duoman.com still has a'Golden Paintbrush'... The total bonus is 10 million. It is difficult for us to spend such a large sum of money as a bonus. Therefore, we basically have no advantage." Bao Jiyi shook his head, originally thinking Next year, "ComicFuture" will also hold an award, but now it seems that it should be very difficult.

Shang Haozhi took a deep breath, "I have another way."

"Ok?"

"Separate the "ComicFuture" magazine from the electronic version. Select editors from each editorial department and set up an editorial department to be responsible for the operation of web comics. This organization is independent of all magazines and is responsible for all works of Yishu Culture. Electronic copyright." Shang Haozhi said bitterly.

"Shang Haozhi!" Bao Jiyi patted the table, "Do you know what this means?"

"Transformation!" Shang Haozhi said loudly, "Take out the electronic copyright to operate separately. We will focus on whichever magazine or website is more popular with readers."

"Even if it is a webcomic, there must be works that carry the most important role. Which comic do you plan to use as the main force, is it "Steel" or "Game"? Do you know that this will do it, and how much impact will it have on the sales of single-line books?"

Shang Haozhi gritted his teeth and remained silent. This is the crux of the problem. He can't guarantee that the author's income will increase.

"There are... planning cases. Have you thought of planning cases? It just relies on a brain twitch, just say what you think of." Bao Jiyi sighed.

"Although this is an idea that I came up with with a twitch of my mind, I am not without thinking."

"What idea?" Bao Jiyi asked rhetorically.

Shang Haozhi pulled out his smartphone, "Mobile App."

"App?" Bao Jiyi frowned, thinking about the pros and cons.

The biggest advantage of mobile apps is that it frees the occasion for readers to read comics. Instead of staying in front of the computer, they can read comics anytime and anywhere.

This is almost the same function as magazines...no, maybe even more than magazines in some ways.

"Submit the plan first...I remind you that even if it is approved, the board of directors agrees to operate the electronic version separately, but the time taken to reintegrate the company's internal institutions may be far more than you think."

"I will make a plan as soon as possible, but I also invite Dong Bao..."

"Look at the plan first," Bao Jiyi said, waving his hand.

Shang Haozhi took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

...

"The current situation is like this~lightnovelpub.net~ The app production project of Duoman.com has been approved. If the speed is fast, it should be produced in the middle of next year. At that time, giving the app a free trial period for a certain period of time should be able to attract To a large number of readers. Moreover, our biggest advantage compared with the magazine is that the department does not need to be integrated, and the comics can be directly transferred to the App."

Tong Yu threw the file on the desktop, looked around, and finally focused on Qian Sheng, "Editor-in-Chief, the click-through rate of the website is okay recently?"

"Yes, I brought back some of the readers who left. There are also nearly 5 million registered users, of which more than 3 million are active users. The evaluation of us on the Internet is also very high, and many people say that they will never buy magazines again. Some people said that they also knew that the second-tier magazines also had good-looking cartoons." Qian Sheng flipped through the notepad and said what he had prepared.

"Therefore, the quality of comics is related to the quality of its own, but more importantly-the platform. Any cartoonist who rejects us will definitely regret it in the future."

Tong Yu silently added another sentence in his heart, including Shen Xin who refused twice.
