My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 654: Momentum

The rapid arrival of steelmaking has surprised many readers.

icfuture uses steel to promote the app. In a short period of time, the number of downloads of comics has increased sharply. Readers have also read more than 90% of the content of steel from the app for free, reviewing the previous plot of steel.

For Steelmaking, the most critical point of this event is that before the episode 138 "Reversal Refining into a Array" serialization, the app released the comics of the first three episodes free of charge, making readers familiar with the previous plot and reducing the number of readers. The strangeness of reading the new serial has also made the popularity of the steelmaking comics rebound at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, with the help of steel making free gimmicks, the app also attracted some readers and others were dissuaded by the app’s bad experience.

This time, even Shang Haozhi couldn't sit still, and personally recruited programmers at a high price to improve the experience of the app as soon as possible.

He understands a truth. If even the app's UI and payment functions are not well done, he will have to compete with Duman.com for the app comics market, which is tantamount to idiotic dreams.

If you want readers to pay, you must at least allow readers to recharge at any time.

The steps are cumbersome and the recharge is delayed. Unless it is true love, most readers will not pay for it.

As for steelmaking, Shen Xin used three words, nearly one hundred pages, to bring steelmaking to the top of the hot list again. The sales volume of icfuture has hovered around 4 million copies after the steelmaking serial.

Duoman.com is also pleased to hear about Shen Xin's strong return, because as Shen Xin further confirms his status, more and more people begin to read the comic ys.

Of course, it is not realistic to let Ys catch up with the Age of the Gods and Sirius in a short time, and it is even difficult to catch up with Fu Bo's Shengwu Academy, but before the new series of Ys appears, keep the appropriate heat. At that time, Shen Xin's re-serialization, coupled with ys film and television, should be able to attract the attention of some readers.

In addition, as a die-hard fan of ys, Fu Bo did not forget to recommend this comic on his own Weibo, and at the same time Shen Xin’s Weibo, hoping that he could re-serialize this comic, and waited with expectation for Shen. Xin's reply. however

After waiting for a full week, Shen Xin still did not have him, nor did he give him a private message.

It was only after Fu Bo was extremely disappointed that he noticed that Steelmaking has been keeping up to 40 pages of updates in recent weeks.

He is also a cartoonist, and he knows very well how difficult this level of update will be. It is estimated that even the time to drink water is squeezed out, and there should be no time for Weibo.

As a result, he lowered his expectation of getting a response.

If one day, it would be nice to see Teacher Shen.

Fu Bo thought silently in his heart.

His guess was not wrong. At this time, Shen Xin was really busy. On the one hand, he had to draw cartoons of steel and steel, and on the other hand, he had to take time to read some books related to reasoning.

To this end, he compressed the time of drawing na and increased the speed of hooking.

The five assistants are also not free.

Zhang Ziyue's basic skills are very solid, and he can take over part of the background from Gao Hang's hands, which increases the drawing speed of the original manuscript by at least 13.

Liu Ruoxing joined the assistant's work, because she was already good at "", using software to access the Internet, she was very familiar with it.

At the beginning, she was a little rusty in cooperation, but after she adapted to each other, she gradually integrated into the whole group.

More than 40 pages a week, with the cooperation of six people, it can be completed on time.

As the cooperation between the assistants became more and more tacit, everyone finally had time for free and rest.

Wang Wenhong is also very busy. In addition to his own studies, including purchasing consumables and paying water and electricity bills, he is also responsible for all these contents.

The entire studio is like a running machine, running smoothly, which also makes Gang Lian's archive of manuscripts always six more words than serialized comics.

Yan Fei has also become the busiest editor. In addition to discussing Dingshi's plot with Xi Muhan and retracting Dingshi's manuscripts, she is also responsible for the collection and translation of Dingshi.

The weekly update speed of Steelmaking has increased, and the workload of Yan Fei's translation has also doubled. At the same time, she must communicate with the juvenile eap at any time. Because the update of Steelmaking has suddenly doubled, the juvenile eap has to add one. The comic was moved to another magazine under its banner, leaving an extra 20 pages for Steelmaking.

Fortunately, Gangchang's results have also been re-serialized and stabilized in the top three on the juvenile eap, which can be regarded as blocking the mouths of some cartoonists.

Yan Fei hurried to Shen Xin's studio after getting a sample of the new book of Volume 19 of Steelmaking.

In the working room, five assistants are drawing on the digital screen, and every link of the background, wiring, blackening, whitening, and printing on the Internet is in order.

Yan Fei came to the second floor and saw Xi Muhan holding a cup of coffee, sitting in front of the computer screen, looking at the text on the document, and there was a stack of white paper on the desktop, which should be drawing Dingshi's next na.

Yan Fei glanced around, but did not see Wang Wenhong, and curiously asked, "Is Lao Wang away?"

"He went to study." Shen Xin raised his head, "Here is on the right track, and he doesn't need to stay here anymore."

"Yes, he stays here and can't help much."

Shen Xin has a black line. Fortunately, Wang Wenhong is not here. Otherwise, he will have to trouble Yan Fei.

"Sister Yan, didn't you come here to tease him deliberately," Shen Xin said puzzled.

"How can I have that time? This is a sample of the new book. The new book will be on sale two weeks later~lightnovelpub.net~ Yan Fei handed a black background cartoon to Shen Xin, "This time the first edition is only one million. book"

"One million copies" Xi Muhan said aloud when he heard this number.

If it is other comics, the first edition of one million is an exaggerated number, but for steelmaking, this number is definitely not too much.

"It's not too much, but you also know what the state of the comics market is in the recent period. The sales of the latest volumes of several comics have not been very good. Although the historical results of Steelmaking are great, after all, it has not been serialized for so long, and In order to restore the popularity of Steelmaking, the contents of Volume 19 and 35 have been serialized on the app for free, and no one can determine the sales of new books. Therefore, the magazine can only choose a relatively conservative number."

Shen Xin nodded, this is indeed a problem, because episodes 135 and 137 have just been serialized on the app.

“Next, the app is preparing to update the comics of Volume 18 of Steelmaking. Due to the recent increase in the volume of updates of Steelmaking, the next volume will be released at the beginning of next month. The first edition of Volume 20 is temporarily scheduled for 1 million copies, but for the specific number, we still have to wait for the sales volume of the latest volume."

"I hope it will sell out." Xi Muhan gave a dry smile.

In any case, it is the ranking of the small book and the sales volume of the single book that determine the steelmaking performance.

There is no need to consider the ranking of the small book. In terms of icfuture, there is really no other comic that can compare with Gang Lian. Therefore, the key point is the sales of Gang Lian's comics.

"By the way, Teacher Shen, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

"what"

"A publisher in the U.S. is preparing to introduce steel-making comics." Yan Fei took a deep breath, "Congratulations."

"Ah" Shen Xin stopped writing and looked up at Yan Fei.

This news somewhat surprised him.
