Chapter XXVIII

On this day, Xia Ziyu left Xicheng and got on the train to the provincial capital.

In the luxury carriage of the train, Xia Ziyu opened his notebook and browsed the news about the comic industry, since he stepped into this industry, he has developed the habit of reading industry news.

"The new meeting of the Manga Association will be held on September 15 at the headquarters of the Sakura Provincial Manga Association in District 11, and will be attended by many well-known manga artists in the industry, such as Mie Takahashi, Masahiko Kawasaki, Liu Yaxi, and Tamaki Aoyama, ...... the meeting.

"So far, 73 comic publishers have received the notice of the meeting to discuss the development of the comics industry. ”

He roughly scanned all kinds of news.,Only this one.,He took a look at it in detail.,See the lineup of this comic book association.,It seems that there are a lot of bigwigs in the industry to participate.,Whether he's a cartoonist or in the publishing industry,,It's a rookie.,Don't look at the magical girl Madoka's topicality seems to be quite high.,But as long as there is no comic book weekly serialization with status.,Industry insiders and many comic fans only think it's an amateur.。

is like an anchor in the entertainment industry, no matter how popular the anchor is on the Internet and what her income is, she is not even an eighteenth-tier artist in the entertainment industry, and others have not included her in the circle at all.

So if Xia Ziyu hadn't seen the news, he wouldn't have known that this year's Cartoonists Association meeting would be held in District 11 soon.

The start of webtoons seems to have been invisibly hindered, not a single qualified comic work has been received for several days, and two editors have even reported that they have dealt with several spoof submissions and uploaded pirated content from the Internet to their website.

To this end, Xia Ziyu also opened the real-name authentication system of pikapika comics, and only after real-name authentication can you submit works.

He had seen the comic manuscript fee given by comic publishers in the industry before, which was 100 yuan per page, and the manuscript fee given by well-known magazines to newcomers might be slightly higher, but he offered a price of 15 per page, which should have attracted a group of cartoonists, but he did not receive submissions for a long time.

I don't know if the popularity of their website is too low, but he later asked the system to deduct more than 100,000 yuan from his bank card for website advertising, and placed advertisements on several well-known comic forums.

Now that the number of registrations on the site has increased slightly, there are no new submissions, and the biggest headache for him is that both editors have been idle for a week, and their salaries have to be paid as usual.

He didn't know that a big part of this was mainly due to the fact that his company did not have a physical publishing channel, one was that cartoonists are still popular, as long as there are works, they can always find a publishing house that can be serialized, and after serialization for a period of time, printing a single book can earn a royalty.

How many cartoonists nowadays really live on manuscript fees? Who doesn't want to publish a single copy of their comics and then sell them for hundreds of thousands, or for a few hundred thousand yuan if they are lucky, then they will get dozens of times the manuscript fee, and the money is not easy to come by?

What kind of webtoon, it's not that no cartoonists have seen it, and the manuscript fee is indeed quite high, but when I saw that this Bluestar Entertainment is only operated on the Internet and has no physical publishing channels, isn't it only possible to take that manuscript fee, and can't publish a single book?

You know,Single book is the majority of the current comics industry's income,The manuscript fee for magazine serialization can get a few thousand a month,Even the manuscript fee of a god-level cartoonist is not much higher than them.,You can have tens of thousands of yuan if you die.,It's not relying on the royalties of a single book.,The annual income is over 100 million!

He didn't understand this problem, and the employee didn't remind him, thinking that the boss of the company must know the industry, and he came in when he was ready, who knew that Xia Ziyu was just a complete novice, and the first time he really came into contact with comics was more than a month ago!

To think that as long as he offers a good price, he can attract a group of cartoonists to join his website, but he can only say that he is too naïve.

After looking at the news and thinking that there was nothing new, he was about to close the notebook, only to see a familiar name in the industry-related there!

"The director of the Entertainment and Culture Administration of the Federation of Daya has retired, and the next director will be taken over by Lin Jiakang, who works in the Propaganda Committee of District 11, and the official date of appointment is ......"

When Xia Ziyu saw this news, he felt a little confused, this name, the Propaganda Committee of the 11th District, if it is correct, isn't it his uncle?

Why was my uncle suddenly transferred to the Entertainment and Culture Administration?

Isn't that a department that is used by the federal government as a department to dry salted fish? How could a person with such a strong ability to work like my uncle come to this department and be dragged in?

If it is placed on the earth, this is equivalent to the position of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and it must be a department with a lot of power, and there is a lot of room for display, and it is definitely a popular position, and it can't be grabbed.

However, the Entertainment Bureau of the Federation of Daya is the legendary Salted Fish Department, and the people in it are all salted fish, either they are not motivated just to make a living, or they have no way to be pitted in. All in all, this sector is definitely not an advanced department in the Federation of Greater Asia.

Why is it that the Federation of Greater Asia has clearly opened up the entertainment market, and the market prospects are also booming, but the entertainment bureau that manages this is called the Salted Fish Department?

There's a reason for that.

The first is the decentralization of power, and at the beginning of the lifting of the federal entertainment ban, several major entertainment industries have established their own management associations. Associations are recognized and vested with real powers by the Federation, and they can exercise self-management within their own industries, and the main regulations are decided by the ten members of Parliament.

The Entertainment Bureau is only responsible for assisting several major associations to better publicize and implement relevant regulations, and to solve some difficulties for the associations and provide industry welfare subsidies.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Entertainment Bureau, it was equivalent to the microphone of several entertainment associations, and the children below said that we lacked something, and the nanny asked the federal father.

Because of decades of industry blockade, now lifted, there are too many places that need to improve the regulations, and only those in the industry know where to supplement, that is, use professional people to manage.

At the beginning, it was true that the industry was developing rapidly, and they all set loose industry regulations for themselves for their own interests, and the federal government, in order not to let the newly revived entertainment industry be stillborn again, let the entertainment bureau all pass their own regulations.

The real management power is in the hands of others, and the entertainment bureau wants to grasp the management rights of several entertainment industries, but they are all resisted by several major industries, after all, there are many nobles in the association, and after a long time of idleness, the entertainment bureau is used to the state of salted fish.

Now the federal government is unwilling to indulge them and manage them alone, and the management power must be in the hands of the federal government, and the Entertainment and Culture Administration needs to be reorganized, so it needs a person with super executive ability to be at the helm.

Xia Ziyu's uncle Lin Jiakang is the best candidate in the upper echelons of the Federation, strong enough, strong enough, hard enough, he has been working in the 11th district with an open entertainment atmosphere before, and he has more contact with related industries, so he is the most suitable to take over the position of director.
