My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 480: Buy book
Although in the second half of the year, Duoman.com had a lot of actions and messed up the comics market, Shen Xin still felt that this was not the true strength or size of Duoman.com.
Now Duoman is relying on booing and free to attract readers, but as time goes by, some readers will return to the magazine.
The Internet has an impact on magazines, and only when it comes out can comic magazines suffer greater threats.
Once web comics and magazines can fight against each other, it is also a good thing for cartoonists. Cartoonists can have more choices and choose between different platforms. Whoever bids higher will use which platform to serialize.
By then, the living environment of cartoonists may improve a lot.
In addition to the planning of Duoman.com, Tong Yu also stated his vision for Duoman.com.
"I hope that Duo Man.com can carry the banner of the future of China Comics. It can provide a fair and just platform for more outstanding cartoonists."
Shen Xin just listened to Tong Yu's words and didn't believe it.
After a simple contact with Tong Yu, Shen Xin also realized that Tong Yu is not such a "pure" person.
Then again, as a businessman, perhaps Tong Yu's approach is not wrong.
In the short 5-minute video, what surprised Shen Xin most was Wang Yunze's words.
"Doma.com's platform and traditional magazines will have great advantages. Moreover, your work is the first step without delay and all free comics. Is the popularity of your lower work far more popular than other comics?"
"Many comics are not serialized on the same platform. It is not easy to compare directly, but I am very confident in my next comic and believe that it will satisfy all of you when it comes out. As for whether it can surpass other comics, I hope I can compare with more comics. Although I am older, I will not give in."
Then the screen switched to the hostess, but Wang Yunze's words still came from the video, "Steel Refining is very good, but I think I have a chance to win it."
Wang Yunze's sudden mention of "Steel Refining" shocked Shen Xin. He didn't understand the logical relationship between these words.
Afterwards, Shen Xin saw the end captions in the video again, and then remembered that this is a cut video, which means that this video has been processed.
Some marketing accounts on the Internet are best at doing this kind of thing. They cut a video from the beginning to the end and choose ambiguous words to deliberately cause misunderstandings among the audience, thus creating popularity.
This video may be the same. But since Wang Yunze did not refute, it means that he also agrees with the content of the video. Therefore, what he originally said is not important.
After the steamed bun, Shen Xin drank two sips of soy milk, Xi Muhan changed into loose casual clothes, his hair was tied into a ponytail, and he went downstairs.
"Brother Xin, what do you want to eat?"
"whatever."
Shen Xin is also good at talking, who makes him not good at cooking?
"I remember there are two pieces of salmon at home..."
"Can you do it?" Shen Xin asked curiously.
Salmon is a sea fish, so it is different from river fish in handling.
"Don't be afraid, there are recipes." Xi Muhan shook his head, "By the way, Brother Xin, are you interested in creating gourmet comics?"
"Not interested." Shen Xin answered directly.
For one thing, he doesn't know much about food. If he really draws it, he may have to consult a professional chef; secondly, he doesn't read many food comics.
"China Little Home" counts as one, but many people may not know that behind the "Little Home" comics, the plot has already appeared weak. There are even rumors that "Little Home" was cut to the end.
The true or false of this rumor is aside for the time being, but there is really something wrong with its later plot.
Another one is "Spirit of the Halberd Eater"...This one was good in the early stage, but in the later stage, Yudou Futian released himself. Not only did the plot feed poison, but some of the settings were also contradictory. It is estimated that Saeki was also helpless.
After all, Futian Yuto is not an Oba thrush.
Xi Muhan stuck out his tongue and pulled out a cookbook from the shelf.
"By the way, it looks like the first issue of "icfuture" will be released today, right?" Shen Xin suddenly remembered this.
"Ah... I forgot..." Xi Muhan covered her mouth. She went out just now and didn't think about it.
"Why don't you cook, let's press the road together and go to the bookstore. Come back and find a restaurant." Shen Xin asked back while holding the straw.
"Ah? Okay." Xi Muhan's eyes were bright, and he nodded repeatedly, then put the recipe into the restaurant again, "By the way, don't forget to wear a hat."
"Huh?" Shen Xin scratched his head. He had just been interviewed by "Star Game". It would be better to pay attention, so he found a peaked cap from the second floor.
The last time two people went out together was also a long time ago. In fact, since Shen Xin did not stop the publication, he rarely went out again.
The two left home together and took the subway to Nanjiatan.
Nanjiatan is the place where the atmosphere of the second dimension of Hongchuan is the strongest, and it is also the place where you can best understand the trend of comics.
You can see the leopard in the tube.
Hanging out at Jiman Bookstore or other bookstores should help to understand the current comic market.
The two got out of the subway and went directly to the Jiman Bookstore.
New Year's Day is not like the Spring Festival. There is only a three-day holiday. Many people cannot go home and can only stay in Hongchuan. Therefore, some people choose to stay in the bookstore.
There are a lot of customers in Jiman Bookstore, but it's not the feeling of shoulder to shoulder. It's just that the speed of forwarding will be very slow.
Shen Xin came to the magazine area and searched for a long time, but didn't find "icfuture", so he asked the clerk on the side curiously.
""Icfuture"? It's gone for the time being. I'm adjusting it from the library. If you are willing to wait, it will probably take more than half an hour." The clerk explained.
"Selling so fast?" Xi Muhan asked in surprise.
Hasn’t the sales of "icfuture" been bad?
"Well, it should be because of the re-serialization of "Hunting Abyss"? It's also possible that Duoman.com started charging..."
Shen Xin was a little frustrated, and turned to the new book area. The stall near the "Steel Refining" billboard was empty, with only one line written with a red marker-"Steel Refining" will arrive tomorrow!
It seems that the sales volume of Volume 9 of "Steel Refining" should be good.
After coming out of Jiman Bookstore, the two of them went to a nearby bookstore, where the latest issue of "icfuture" was placed. There were only a few books left, but they were all wrapped in plastic. The trial magazine that was supposed to be pre-read for readers is gone.
"Sorry, do you want to watch "icfuture"?"
A man's voice rang in Shen Xin's ear. He quickly raised his head, only to see a shop assistant with a reddish face and handed the sample book to Shen Xin.
Shen Xin raised his brow slightly when he saw this man. He had definitely seen this clerk somewhere.
"Brother Xin..." Xi Muhan whispered in Shen Xin's ear~lightnovelpub.net~ Oh. It's okay, I don't need to watch it. "
Shen Xin picked up a copy of "icfuture" and walked towards the front desk, while constantly remembering where he had seen this person.
A child ran past him, and the man's identity also appeared in his mind.
Shen Xin quickly turned around to look at the clerk, but saw that the clerk was a little bit cautious with his hands behind his back.
He met this clerk at the annual meeting last year.
Shen Xin remembered that this clerk seemed to be also a cartoonist, and attended the annual meeting with a little girl.
"What's the matter?" Xi Muhan asked.
"No... it's okay."
Shen Xin retracted his gaze and handed the magazine to the cashier.
