My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 501: condition
Bao Jiyi rubbed his temples again.
As a manager, he certainly knows the importance of core resources. Similarly, although he is the chairman of Yishu Culture, he still has restrictions when making certain decisions.
After all, Yishu Culture is not his own company.
The distribution of "Seven Three Opens" mentioned by Shen Xin made the magazine feel a bit of a loss in terms of income. At the same time, the management also felt offended. If the magazine only took the "Three", it would be a kind of initiative. Conversion.
If other cartoonists follow Shen Xin, how will the magazine operate?
Bao Jiyi also cares about this most.
"I know your difficulties, but you always want me to bet on someone else's mouth, right?"
Bao Jiyi is a pun.
If Shen Xin really shows superior strength, he can not only block the mouth of the management, but also block the mouths of other cartoonists-if you want privileges, Mr. Shen will be your benchmark, not to mention surpassing Mr. Shen , At least the grades should not differ too much.
Taking a step back, if Shen Xin didn't do it, he could also convince Shen Xin--you see, it's not that I didn't give you a chance, but you didn't grasp it.
In this way, he can advance or retreat, at least able to take the initiative in confrontation with multiple people.
"However, it is impossible for "Steel Refining" to suppress Wang Yunze's new work in the whole process. Again, the starting point of the two sides is different. If it is only one or two words, it is still the same."
"So... you know that Wang Yunze's new book will be serialized in the middle of the year, right?"
"Ok."
"In the first chapter of Wang Yunze's new book, the results of the two cannot be too different."
"How to determine the outcome?" Shang Haozhi asked rhetorically.
"One week after the new book was released, the online popularity of the two comics was less than 100,000."
"So... let's talk about it first. If "Steel Making" is leading, there is no limit of 100,000 heat value."
"Of course. The more leading "Steel Refining", the better. But can "Steel Refining" lead?" Bao Jiyi questioned.
In the early stage of a manga, the popularity is mainly boosted by the first chapter. Moreover, Wang Yunze is also the main cartoonist of Duoman.com. Duoman.com will definitely carry out a series of activities around Wang Yunze.
It is still difficult for "Steel Refining" to surpass the enthusiasm of the first chapter of Wang Yunze's new book.
"Since it's a bet, it must be more comprehensive." Shang Haozhi said in response.
"Well, this is the first one."
"Huh? There is a second one?"
"Of course, the first article can only show that the upper limit of "Steel Refining" is high, but the quality of a comic should not only look at the upper limit."
Shang Haozhi patiently nodded, "What is the second one?"
"The second point is...From now on, until the end of "Steel Refining", there will be a postponement year. In the postponement year, the single book sales of "Steel Refining" in China exceeded 10 million copies. As for the month of the postponement year It's up to Teacher Shen to decide."
"Huh? Shun the year? The comics that sold 10 million copies last year are still works 20 years ago, right?" Shang Haozhi's eyelids twitched. "Moreover, now we have to face the impact of web comics, this Sales are basically impossible."
The so-called postponement of the year means that it starts from a certain month of the year and is postponed for 12 months thereafter. Therefore, there is a possibility of New Year's Eve.
The best annual sales volume of "The Legend of the Dragon King" is only seven or eight million copies.
In 12 months, 10 million copies...
This kind of sales is in District 11, which is also the top...No, it is the only comic book. The entire District 11 has only one or two copies of this level.
"But it's simpler than the annual sales in natural years. As for what to do, you can discuss with Teacher Shen." Bao Jiyi reminded.
Ten million copies...how can it be done?
Shang Haozhi is a bit big, and this condition is indeed a bit harsh, but even if he supports Shen Xin, but in this case, he still has to stand on the side of the magazine.
"Okay, I will pass your conditions to Teacher Shen and see how he answers."
Shen Xin should also put forward his own request.
If nothing happens, Shen Xin may be able to reach 8 million copies in an extended year. This sales volume, if "Steel Refining" works hard, it should be able to do it.
App production can't be done in three or two days. When it is launched, it will be half a year later.
The magazine has a separate department, which, to some extent, freed the editorial department of "ComicFuture", but in the future, the two departments should also be in a competitive relationship.
So Shang Haozhi doesn't have to worry about the app, mainly Shen Xin.
Leaving Bao Jiyi's office, Shang Haozhi returned to the editorial department, saw Wang Wenhong who was working, and called him.
"Put on your coat and go out with me." Shang Haozhi said.
Wang Wenhong didn't know, so he quickly put on his clothes and followed Shang Haozhi out.
"what's up?"
"Go to Teacher Shen." Shang Haozhi whispered.
"Ah? Looking for him? Did you really talk about Teacher Shen just now?" Wang Wenhong's heart was tight.
"Ok."
"What's the result?" Wang Wenhong asked quickly.
"Isn't this still being discussed?" Shang Haozhi looked serious.
Along the way, the two were not talking.
Wang Wenhong could also see that Shang Haozhi was in a bad mood, indicating that there should be difficulties in the negotiation.
When the two came to Shen Xin's studio, Shang Haozhi made it clear that Wang Wenhong immediately shook his head.
"The first one is okay, the second one is too difficult! The domestic comics market has already been hit by web comics. If you add Zone 11, you should be able to do it."
Shang Haozhi glanced at Wang Wenhong irritably. If 11 districts were added, the sales of "Steel Refining" would now approach 8 million.
"What was the domestic sales volume of "Steel Refining" last year?"
"About five million copies." Shang Haozhi replied.
"It needs to be doubled." Shen Xin folded his chest with both hands.
"The only advantage of "Steel Refining" is that there are still animations that have not been released. However, I think it is still too difficult to exceed 10 million copies in an extended year." Wang Wenhong sighed.
Shen Xin frowned, thinking about the feasibility.
After three or four minutes of silence, Shen Xin finally looked up at Shang Haozhi.
"Okay. I agree, but the magazine will give me the help I deserve. Otherwise, it will be difficult for "Steel Refining" to compete with Teacher Wang's new work."
"No problem. But ten million copies..."
"That's my business~lightnovelpub.net~ You help me to tell Bao Dong that the "seven three open" I said before will be invalidated. If I do these two points, he promised me that he would be like me today So simple."
"What are your conditions?"
"Secrecy first. He can also refuse, and I hope everyone will be more swift and not grind. You can also tell him this sentence for me."
The annual sales volume of "Steel Making" during the serialization on Earth was about five or six million copies.
Compared with the earth, Shen Xin also has his own advantages.
First of all, Earth’s "Steel Refining" is a monthly magazine. He drew a weekly magazine. The updated content doubled every year, which meant that the pamphlet sold every year doubled; secondly, China had more readers than Earth, which was also determined by the population The number depends on the number. Once again, the animation has a bonus to "Steel Refining", and now, the animation has not been released.
More critically, Bao Jiyi is not mentioning the natural annual sales, but the total sales for the next 12 months from a certain month.
Shen Xin can choose 12 consecutive months with relatively high sales.
Of course, there are also disadvantages. No one knows how much influence the web comics have on the pamphlets.
In fact, Shen Xin is also betting.
There are some signs of slack in the comics market, and he has to come up with outstanding results in order to take the initiative.
This is also an opportunity for him.
