Ambition, in fact, Jing Ku also has ambition.

However, Jing Ku's ambition is not the greed for power, but the pursuit of a natural and leisurely life.

It's not the ambition of the wolf's ambition, it's the heart of the wild.

After chatting about the contract, Song Zixiao and Jing Ku went to his office.

Song Zixiao asked: "What kind of emoji is new, it shouldn't be that simple, right?"

Jing Ku nodded: "In the online world in the future, every online population may spend one-tenth of their online time playing games, but one-third of their online time will be spent posting love packets. ”

Song Zixiao couldn't have thought of that kind of situation, but Jing Ku had seen it, so Jing Ku knew that Jing Ku even understood every step of the rise of emojis.

"Actually, it's called a meme. ”

"Emoji?" Song Zixiao looked at the page on the computer screen in a daze: "We call this a download package." ”

"Yes, it's this bag, this bag is not a bag of buns, it means that in addition to what can be seen on the surface, there is also a connotation inside. ”

There are some things in it, so it's called a pack, such as a download pack, a skill pack, well, a yurt.

Jing Ku: "Actually, the development of emojis has a history, but because it has not become popular, it has no sense of existence. ”

Jing Ku typed a ':-)' on the computer screen, this symbol represents a smiling face, which has been popular at the same time as the Internet is spread in China, and has been accepted by the general public around 1999.

"This is the ancestor of emojis, the first represents love packs. ”

One feature of memes, perhaps independent of chat emoticons, is that they are uncontrollable.

The official emojis in major chat software, social software, blogs and microblogs are difficult to favor users, but after all kinds of interesting emojis are popular, the secondary development products according to the style have been prosperous for a long time.

"Huh. Song Zixiao: "Does your creativity come from here?"

Jing Ku shook his head: "The emoji is divided into three stages, this is the simplest primitive stage, including the self-contained expressions of each company belong to the first stage, and the rabbit driver is between the second stage and the first stage." ”

"What is the second stage?"

"Original emojis,Independent of these network companies outside the independent individual or group original emoji is the second stage of emojis,Although the prospects of emojis are very broad and there is a very large market,But there are very few companies that can make money in it,Because no matter how many companies,It is not as large as the number of netizens who have leisure and leisure,Many emojis that finally stand out,Will be from the hands of netizens。 ”

"Meaning, things like rabbit drivers can only make a small amount of money?"

Jing Ku nodded: "Since we have promoted the second stage, we will occupy all the markets that can be occupied in a short period of time, and after half a year to a year of fermentation, the emoji market will quickly enter the third stage, and there will be nothing to make at that time." ”

"What is the third stage?"

In the process of emoji development, it has entered several branches, one of which was a GIF storm caused by the rabbit driver.

At that time, various companies were sure that complex GIFs would become the mainstream of the market, so they developed a large number of them, but as the images of various animals in nature were used all over again, only a few of them became popular in the end, and the rest died one after another.

The reason is that GIFs are more complicated than pictures, as the saying goes, there are more mistakes in doing more, as long as you bring a little more uncomfortable things, the death of the meme is logical.

And eventually, the meme reverted to a simple picture state.

"In the third stage, netizens will directly extract interesting content screenshots from various movies and television as emoticons, or use these things as the basis to develop simple pictures and text synthesis emojis, at that time, the number of emojis will not be counted, and each industry will have exclusive emoticons, and the third stage of emojis will lose the space to make money. ”

Song Zixiao nodded: "I thought I could make a lot of money, but it seems that it is only a small amount of money, not as good as comics and games." ”

"Of course, the money-making of games and comics lies in sustainability, and emojis are just a matter of posting a picture for fun, although the frequency is higher, but the number of works is not on the same order of magnitude, and it is divided into individual products, and the value is different. ”

"I recently designed several sets of basic pictures of emojis, all of which were made, and sent a set every once in a while, and it is estimated that the income will begin to decrease after half a year, and there will be no money after a year, this half a year, I hope to make a little money. ”

Song Zixiao nodded: "Since you can't do the main business, then let Qiu Tianping be responsible for contacting you about the emoji package, the benefits are twenty-eight, and we only need two." ”

Internet companies, salary is just the foundation, everyone is staring at bonuses, if you really don't get a bonus for making emojis, the original artists and designers will not be happy, Song Zixiao is not ready to make money from this piece, but is seeking benefits for employees.

"No problem, that's it. ”

Song Zixiao opened the drawer and took out a small notebook: "Don't mention the emoji thing, look at this." ”

Jing Ku glanced at it: "Hey, it's done?"

"Well, because it's small, so it's full color, because it's full color, although a single book is small, but the price is not low at all, and we're ready to price it at ten yuan a copy. ”

In the current market, novels are generally more than ten yuan a piece, and with the retention of online e-books, physical books will become more and more expensive.

I can't tell if it's a vicious circle or with the price increase of other industries, physical books always have their soil, and comics and novels are very similar, although you can also read them online, but watching comics on the screen is not as comfortable as reading comic books, the same thing, it looks like a headache on the screen, but it looks much more interesting on comic books, and the reading experience is fundamentally different.

Although Yinghua Network is committed to the network of comics, it operates two comic magazines, and the comic magazines are more for sale, and the way to make money for webtoons is more through advertising revenue.

"When does the pre-sale start?"

"Recently, it will be on sale in bookstores nationwide in about a week. Song Zixiao: "According to your suggestion, we are laying out more childish places, as for the website, we are ready to target high school students and adults, and physical comics are mainly for elementary and junior high school students. ”

"Well, if the sales are good, you have to start making animation immediately, and you don't need to do things like 3DCG, it's just simple anime animation, and it requires speed. ”

Speed is king.

Leaving the film network company, Jing Ku moved towards Sichuan University.

Every Monday to Friday, Jing Ku still has to go to class, especially ancient literature, not a single section can be missed, because of the recent lectures, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also much smoother than Journey to the West, and some places that are not clear can be reshaped with much more beautiful rhetoric than the original.

And Journey to the West has recently accelerated the update speed, and has been serialized to twenty-two chapters on the mountain and wild chatter.

The official appearance of the sand monk marks the completion of all four groups and the main story will unfold.

Journey to the West strictly adheres to the writing style of crested leopard tail pork belly, with a gorgeous and stunning beginning, a strong ending, and a complex and diverse content, and the excitement gradually climbs one after another high C with the advancement of the chapter.

After the class, Jing Ku skillfully opened the newly bought computer and landed in the mountains and fields to talk, and the forum was still artificially topped by Journey to the West.

The charm of Journey to the West is not comparable to the works of ordinary authors, it is topical, there are many things that can be discussed, and the language is relatively concise, so every chapter is worth studying.

Recently, Shanye Miscellaneous Talk has spontaneously set up several research groups, all of which are connected by QIQ groups and gather in posts to discuss on weekdays.

For this reason, Yamano Miscellaneous Talk specially asked the students of Sichuan University to redesign and design the function of restricting speech.

With the launch of the new mechanism, Yamano Miscellaneous Novel Forum was officially renamed as Yamano Miscellaneous Novel Forum.

A new version of the forum is online.

In each threaded post, the entire hundreds of floors belong to the landlord, others can't post content, and before the landlord opens the next hundred, all discussions can only be discussed in this one hundred floors of the building, and the whole post has also been re-combed and organized.

And under the post of Journey to the West, there are several unusually popular posts.

"The Legend of the Dragon Emperor", "Those Things in the Song Dynasty", "The Legend of the Little Soldier", "The Story of the Mercenary", "The World of the Flood" ......
