"Picture Book King" and "Youth Solo Singer" are the juxtaposition of comic magazines, and it is difficult to distinguish between sales and influence, but there are great differences in style and operation, and it is difficult to say which is better or worse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In terms of serialization, both magazines will have halves, but as long as the works on "The King of Picture Books" can ensure the quality, there is basically no need to worry about this problem, quality is the main criterion for their evaluation, and they have always relied on high-quality works to attract readers.

And "Young Solo Singer" pursues a system of investigation first, regardless of the quality, as long as it is at the bottom of the popularity of the reader survey for two consecutive months, no matter what the quality is, it will be cut in half.

Each issue of the magazine is fixed with 20 works, and each issue will be accompanied by a survey form in the magazine, and you will have the opportunity to get gifts if you participate in the survey, from small posters, autographs to large figures, gifts are very valuable or commemorative, so the enthusiasm of readers to participate is also very high.

Two months is eight issues.,It's not a lot of time in itself.,And each time it's the last three works.,It's a tragedy if you can't increase your popularity to more than sixteen during this period.。

"The world of cartoonists is really cruel." Put yourself in their shoes, and the pressure is not small.

Zhang Yao was a webcomic artist in his previous life, he relied on subscriptions to eat on the Internet, he was desperately watered if he had good grades, and he started a new work when he didn't have good grades, all of which were decided by himself, and there was no such thing as cutting in half.

Of course, this is not a problem for her now, is there still a reason for "Dragon Ball" to be cut in half?

Yunshang said: "If it's a work with a niche theme, I suggest you go to the king of painting books, because as long as you have a high level, even if your popularity is weak, you can rest assured that the serialization will be completed, and the editor will not interfere too much, but your style is obviously more suitable for a junior solo group." ”

"But listening to you say this, it seems that the king of painting books is much more humane."

"The current situation of the junior solo group is actually a problem left over from history, Ye Qingqing and Zicai Xinna are both domestic palace-level cartoonists, not to mention the existence of Teacher Xiqiu."

Yunshang continued: "The cartoonists who chose the solo group to serialize in the early days were all successful under their advice, and some even directly helped revise the script, which can be said to be hand-in-hand support, without their helm, not to mention that those cartoonists would not be able to succeed, and domestic comics would not be so popular." ”

"In addition, people really have an extremely accurate grasp of the market and pursue a market-first strategy, so of course there will be more intervention from editors. But you don't have to worry, as long as they are popular enough, they don't really bother to care how you draw, and the soloist editorial department is also famous for its lazy and laid-back style. ”

Zhang Yao nodded and said: "Comics are different from other types of works, and it is understandable that editors will intervene more. ”

As a person in the industry, I still have some understanding of the general situation in the industry, and the Japanese manga artists in the original time and space were even more miserable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were oppressed.

Generally, no matter how awesome cartoonists are, they all work for the magazine, and they are employees of the magazine, and the editor has to do what he tells him to do, so "Dragon Ball" has fallen to the point of never-ending upgrades.

After all, there are not many people who dare to fight with the magazine like Yuhiko Inoue, otherwise "Slam Dunk" would not have participated in the national competition and ended after three games, and it must have won the national championship and played the youth championship, Asian Youth Championship, World Youth Championships, Asian Championships, World Championships, etc.

The works that started serialization in the 90s may not be finished when Zhang Yao crosses over, and the answer is very clear by referring to "Football Player".

Well, the "Slam Dunk" of this time and space has nothing to do with Inoue Yuhiko, the author is Zhiqiu Ichiba, and he doesn't play in a high school league, but CUBA, the National Collegiate Men's Basketball League.

"So the junior solo group is the best choice, what's the vacillation to look at the remuneration can't make you firm in confidence? Unless you're worried about being cut in half, you don't have to worry about it at all. ”

"Nonsense, how could I be cut in half, thank God they didn't force me to keep painting endlessly." Zhang Yao clasped his hands on his chest and showed full confidence.

Yunshang said: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about the waist cut, in order to avoid the situation of eunuchs not ending, in addition to the junior solo group, there is also a solo group square, and this magazine is dedicated to serializing the works that were cut in half by the young group." Of course, the impact is much smaller, and the sales volume is far from comparable. ”

"Why are they all solo groups, they are on the same page as the name, right?"

"There is also a solo group weekend, which is different from the young group's focus on the style of juvenile comics, this magazine has all genres, girl comics, funny themes, etc., and it is a monthly magazine."

“……”

"I'd better take a look at the remuneration standard first." Zhang Yao decided not to bother with the name of the magazine anymore, anyway, it had nothing to do with her.

In fact, the fact that a magazine can have so many derivative journals also shows that both the market and the magazine itself are mature enough, if they can't even sell one copy, will they create so many supplements?

"Young Solo Singer" is accompanied by a call for papers, all requirements and remuneration are clearly written, and in addition to the complete content of the long comics, a synopsis of the story is also required.

And the remuneration is indeed higher than that of other magazines, the remuneration of the newcomers of "The King of Picture Books" is 200-300 per page, while the "Youth Solo Troupe" is directly 400 jumps, with a cap of 600, regardless of black and white or color.

No matter what industry newcomers have no human rights, in fact, no matter how much the target is, the back can basically be ignored, just look at the minimum standards, there is no room for bargaining.

But it doesn't matter.,The remuneration for serialization is to mix some living expenses.,If you really want to make money, a single book is the big one.,As long as you draw a best-selling comic book, you can earn crazy.,If the sales exceed 100 million, it's even more unimaginable.。

"OK, let's choose the Junior Soloist Ensemble." Zhang Yao closed the magazine and said: "I haven't talked so much about it, but in principle, the weekly serials must be delivered on time every week, and it seems to be more lenient than the picture book king." ”

There is also the biggest difference, "The King of Picture Books" is signed by people, and once the contract is signed, it can only be serialized in its magazine, while "Youth Solo Singer" is signed by a work, and there are no other restrictions.

"It depends on how the editors decide, and if it doesn't work, it can only be serialized on the weekend of the solo group, in short, it's better to submit the manuscript first, and then go."

"Wait, I haven't got the manuscript yet." Zhang Yao was directly dragged out of the classroom by Yunsheng.
