Generally speaking, cartoonists publish comics in paper magazines first, and then decide whether to launch a single book according to their market response, and further build an IP industry chain such as animation, games, film and television, and peripherals.

Society is developing, the times are progressing, and webtoons have also come into being, which also gives the majority of comic lovers a chance to become cartoonists.

In short, webtoonists, like web writers, have a lower barrier to entry.

The low threshold does not mean that the ability to attract money is poor, although the webtoon artist is not as good as the physical cartoonist in his status, but the annual income of the webtoon artist who mixes well is more than 10 million.

Of course, webtoon artists with an annual income of more than 10 million are always rare, but this has also inspired a large number of comic book lovers to strive to become the next webtoon artist with an annual income of more than 10 million.

The pyramid is not easy to climb, it's better to be realistic, Xinman.com belongs to the Young Marshal Studio, a typical wealthy man, don't worry that the website will owe the author manuscript fees.

So far, there are a total of 242 serialized works on Xinman.com, of which more than half of the serialized comics are buyout works.

The buyout price of Xinman is 1500-15000 yuan/word,Let's calculate with the lowest buyout price1500 yuan/word,If Xinman.com's 131 buyout comics are serialized every month,Then Xinman will issue a manuscript fee196,500。

Unless a part-time cartoonist, or the kind of wayward cartoonist who doesn't rely on manuscript fees to support his family, I believe that no cartoonist who buys out only serializes one comic a month, in other words, the remuneration paid by Xinman for buying out cartoonists every month will be increased by five or six times on the basis of 196,500.

At present,Xinman.com already has a buyout cartoonist with a monthly income of more than 10,000,It's no accident,It's not surprising that the annual income is more than 100,000,It's proper,This income is not virtual.,It's obvious to everyone.。

In addition to buying out cartoonists, Xinman.com also has signed cartoonists, and this expenditure is never less than 300,000 per month.

The credibility of Xinman.com is top-notch, which makes many newcomer cartoonists ready to move, but Xinman.com is not a zero threshold, so it refuses to impulse comics.

Because of this, after more than half a year of development, Xinman.com has only more than 500 comics on the whole site, and only 242 serialized comics.

Because Xinman.com is a "new station",So the comics that are being serialized are basically immature comics that have just broken ground.,And people in these years like to play fattening.,Non-famous works don't get fat and don't chase,This also leads to negative profits every month on the new comic network。

"Slam Dunk" was serialized on the Internet one issue later than the physical magazine, and now "Slam Dunk", which has only been serialized to 23 chapters, is still in the public period, and the income depends on rewards.

Like "Slam Dunk", the comics adapted from the novels of the same name "The Legend of the Master" and "The Card Disciple" are also still being serialized for free, and Lin Tianbao plans to wait for the three comics to be serialized until 30 episodes before arranging for them to be put on the shelves.

Comics are not like novels, comics do weekly changes, no less than novels are updated daily, so, comics have a longer serial cycle than novels, novels are fattened in a few months, and comics need to be raised for a few years to fatten, which is also the current dilemma encountered by Xinman.com, how can we stimulate readers' consumption?

With the profit of "New Animation One Weekly" magazine, coupled with the strong backing of Shaoshuai Studio, Xinman.com has been making negative profits for two or three consecutive years, Lin Tianbao can fully accept it, put a long-term line to catch big fish, in the era of big IP, Xinman.com can stir up one or two comics, then everything is back.

Take "Slam Dunk" as an example, which directly drove the sales of "New Animation Next Magazine" magazine, with a circulation of more than 1.5 million copies.

"Slam Dunk" is a big hit, will it still be a problem to release a single book and animation production in the future?

Lin Tianbao doesn't care if Xinman.com is now negative profit, because he is fighting a protracted war, IP war, and the employees are different, the website is negative every month, which will make employees lose confidence in the magazine, and the original high enthusiasm for work will also disappear, which is also the reason why Lin Tianbao, the boss of the magazine, is not in a hurry, and Wan Ruida, a wage earner, is the first to be anxious.

Wan Ruida assisted Lin Tianbao in managing the magazine for more than half a year, during this time, the magazine's income was negative, and Vice President Wan could be described as a big Yali Mountain, and he was afraid that one day he would suddenly be fired.

The sales volume of "New Animation One Weekly" magazine exceeded 1.5 million copies, and the registered users of Xinman.com exceeded 3 million.

Vice President Wan didn't want to report his worries at all, but he still stubbornly reported his worries, the paper couldn't hold the fire, and the website had to find a new way out.

Xinman.com takes the route of high-quality comics.,Of course,This high-quality comic is aimed at webcomics.,This is still a big gap from the works of comic masters.。

Xinman.com lacks flag-carrying cartoonists,Li Mingyang is counted as one in the future,Now he can only be regarded as a cutting-edge cartoonist who is red and purple,And Xinman.com is really difficult to support the façade on a "Slam Dunk" on a Li Mingyang, Vice President Wan made a suggestion, either Xinman.com will open a high-paying poaching well-known webtoon artist station, or Lin Daboss will continue to turn stones into gold.

Isn't it the main comic?

This is by no means a matter for Lin Tianbao, but let him take out super classic comics such as "Dragon Ball", "Bleach ", "One Piece", "Naruto", "Detective Conan" and other super classic comics on the Internet, is it too aggrieved to these comics, you must know that these comics are serialized in physical magazines, and they will definitely create countless sales myths.

After Lin Tianbao hung up Wan Ruida's phone, he kept burning his brain cells, thinking about which comics to come up with as the first batch of main comics of Xinman.com?

A magazine and a manga can hold up half the sky, but it can't stand up to a website, so Lin Tianbao decided to come up with four or five second-class manga that are also classic and not as popular as comics such as "Dragon Ball".

"Slam Dunk" has exploded basketball comics, and Lin Tianbao has no plans to launch similar comics to fight with "Slam Dunk".

Basketball, Football, Tennis, Tennis, Volleyball, Rugby......

All ball comics, Lin Tianbao doesn't think about it, it seems that "Chess Soul" is good, are the foodies of "Little Master of China" blessed? "Inuyasha", no, before "Inuyasha", you can consider taking out another comic "Ranma 1/2" by the original author.

"Chess Soul", "Little Master of China", "Ranma 1/2", there are already three comics, and finally come up with a heavyweight reasoning comic!

Although "The Book of Incidents of the Boys of Kaneda" is far inferior to "Detective Conan" in terms of popularity, it is better than "Detective Conan" in terms of reasoning cases, but unfortunately it is inferior to "Conan" in other aspects.

Even so, "Kanedaichi Shonen Incident Book" is also a very classic mystery manga.

Lin Tianbao thought of it and immediately put it into action, he wanted to get the outline and character design of the four comics as quickly as possible. (To be continued.) )
