(Two more sent, please also support more, vote more, thank you!) )
After two or three days of reporting, especially after a shocking reversal.
Many people across the country have paid attention to this matter, Zhou Mingwei, Zhou Jiangcheng, Wang Chu and Zhang Ziyu are all celebrities, but Zhou Mingwei's uncle and nephew are notorious.
And Wang Chu and Zhang Ziyu got some benefits and won some good reputation.
Especially Zhang Ziyu, her comics are even more popular, and the number of followers on Weibo directly exceeds 20 million.
Wang Chu benefited the most, he was just an unknown person before, and no one knew him, but now the number of followers on Weibo has risen to more than eight million, and many people know his existence and know a few of his good poems!
What's more.
A lot of people went to see his first comic book, The Matrix.
As a result, the traffic of the official website of Legendary Pictures has increased significantly, from a second- or third-rate comic website to a second-rate peak comic website traffic.
This has also led to a somewhat frightening increase in the Matrix's data.
In just two days after it was launched, the number of viewers of the Matrix exceeded 30 million, the number of popularity votes exceeded 10 million, and the number of messages exceeded 3 million.
These data are not to mention crushing newcomers in the same period, even if the weekly data of all newcomer comics in the past five months of Legendary Pictures is not as much as the Matrix in the past two days, and the newcomer data of the first martial arts comic journal Chivalry Spirit over the years is not so exaggerated.
The comic industry has matured since before the Internet, and every comic book reader is accustomed to holding a magazine to see the wonderful pictures on it, and can also collect the magazine himself, and can take it out and read it at any time, and most of them are not used to reading it online.
Therefore, the number of visitors to the official website of each comic magazine is about 5% of the number of purchases per issue!
In other words, Legendary Pictures can sell three or four million copies per issue, and there are only a dozen or two hundred thousand readers who read comics on the website every week, and a new artist's work can have a popularity ticket of 70,000 or 80,000 per week, which properly locks in the serialization qualification.
But.
Now the number of views of a work of The Matrix has exceeded 10 million, and the popularity votes have also reached 10 million!
This made the entire Legendary Film Headquarters pay great attention to it, and the three editors-in-chief and editor-in-chief all gathered together to discuss this matter.
Zhang Yunfeng, as the editor-in-chief of the Discovery of the Matrix, looked very high-spirited, and said confidently when he sat down: "I felt that this Matrix comic book had great potential from the beginning, and now the results have exceeded my expectations. We should spend some resources on the main promotion next, and I think this comic has already booked the champion of the Brain Hole Essay Contest. ”
Editor-in-Chief He had a serious face, looked at Zhang Yunfeng and immediately objected: "Editor-in-Chief Zhang, you should know how the popularity of this comic came about. It is Wang Chu and Zhang Ziyu who used the scandal to hype up the popularity, this is an accident, it cannot be used as a measure, we should remove the data of the Matrix, re-launch it next week, recalculate the data, and be fair and just to other new talents! ”
Zhang Yunfeng sneered: "Editor-in-Chief He wants another comic underwater ghost to be qualified for serialization?" ”
Underwater Ghost is a suspense comic, and it is also a newcomer comic, and now the data is ranked below the Matrix, and the data is not even a fraction of the Matrix, if the data of the Matrix is canceled, then the Underwater Ghost will naturally be eligible for serialization.
What's more, this comic was pushed out by Editor-in-Chief He.
Editor-in-Chief He said lightly: "I didn't specify who it was, I just think it should be fair, so that no one will gossip and say that we are operating in the dark." ”
Editor-in-chief Ma Cheng interrupted the two and said, "Two, don't quarrel, everyone is a colleague." Legendary Pictures is in the process of developing now, so we can't break our own rules. The data of the Comic Matrix is impossible to clean, the author did not cheat, there was no violation, and there is no reason for us to do so. ”
Another editor-in-chief Li also said supportively: "Of course we can't clear it, if we clear the data at will, who will dare to submit it in the future?" ”
Editor-in-Chief He knew that his reason was untenable, his breath became short, and he said in a deep voice: "Editor-in-Chief Zhang has already revised the contract for this rookie comic author, and I suspect that they are colluding." This news event may have been planned by them, in order to hype up the popularity of Chu Gongzi! ”
"You're spewing blood!"
Zhang Yunfeng is also a temperamental person, in the face of such slander, he stood up and pointed at the editor-in-chief He and scolded: "He fatty, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, I can sue you for slander, believe it or not?" Do you think I don't know that the author of the underwater ghost and you are friends? Am I supposed to wonder if you guys have something to do? ”
"We are friends, but he is very strong, and I didn't change the contract for him!"
Editor-in-Chief He retorted.
Zhang Yunfeng said loudly: "I revised the contract for Mr. Chu because he is worth it, and his works are worth my concessions." This time, Mr. Chu's Matrix data created a newcomer record for our legendary film, and we will give him a manuscript fee of 3,000 yuan per painting according to the contract! ”
The meeting room fell silent.
Not only Editor-in-Chief He, but also Editor-in-Chief Ma Cheng and Editor-in-Chief Li all looked at Zhang Yunfeng in surprise.
At this price, it's a little scary!
"Humph!"
Editor-in-Chief He sneered and said disdainfully, "See? also said that there was no greasy, and even gave a price of 3,000 yuan a painting. No newcomer in the comics industry has ever taken this price, and Mr. Yi Qing's first comic in the spirit of chivalry was only a thousand yuan a draft! ”
Yi Qing is one of the supreme gods of the two major martial arts comics under the spirit of the largest comic chivalry in China, ranking among the top three in the national comic industry, with more than 500 million followers on Weibo, and is one of the iconic figures in the entire martial arts comics field.
When Yi Qing first debuted, he drew the first comic and got the price of 1,000 yuan a draft, creating a record for the manuscript fee of the first comic of a newcomer, which can be regarded as causing some sensation.
Now, Zhang Yunfeng wants to give Wang Chu a manuscript fee of 3,000 sketches, which is indeed amazing, and it will scare a group of people in the industry when he says it.
Editor-in-chief Ma Cheng also frowned and said, "Xiao Zhang, it's not appropriate to open such a high newcomer manuscript fee, right?" ”
Editor-in-Chief Li also said suspiciously: "Yes, we should take our time, the current data of the Matrix is indeed a bit exaggerated, and many of them have moisture, we should wait for the first issue of the serial results to come out before talking about the manuscript fee." ”
Zhang Yunfeng made up his mind, stood up and said excitedly: "Editor-in-Chief Ma, Editor-in-Chief Li, I just calculate the manuscript fee according to popularity, which is stipulated in the contract. Moreover, our legendary film is now missing a pillar, do you know? Now is the time to expand, we can buy a lot of money and let everyone see our determination to grow. And I can guarantee that Mr. Chu's Matrix will definitely catch fire. ”
Editor-in-Chief He immediately said: "You said that if you can be popular, you can be popular? Who's to blame for the loss at that time? ”
Zhang Yunfeng blushed and shouted: "This comic is not popular, I will resign immediately and leave Legendary Pictures." ”
A smile flashed in Editor-in-Chief He's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "You said it yourself!" ”
Zhang Yunfeng said loudly: "Yes, it's what I said, as long as I operate it, I don't believe that this comic is not popular, and Mr. Chu is also qualified to become the pillar of our legendary film!" ”
Editor-in-chief Ma Cheng and editor-in-chief Li both looked at each other a little, they didn't expect Zhang Yunfeng to dare to play so big, in order to support a newcomer who gambled on his career, they were a little suspicious of what the relationship between Zhang Yunfeng and Wang Chu was!
However, both of them are old colleagues with Zhang Yunfeng, and knowing Zhang Yunfeng's clear personality between public and private, there is definitely a reason for him to do this.
"Xiao Zhang, we have been working together for five or six years, and I believe in your vision. The affairs of the Matrix and Teacher Chu are up to you. ”
In the end, editor-in-chief Ma Cheng thought about it for a while and chose to support Zhang Yunfeng.
Doing so has a lot of benefits for Legendary Pictures, it can make a name for itself, attract more people to contribute, and it can also buy horse bones and be an example, even if the Matrix loses, there is not much loss.
Zhang Yunfeng looked overjoyed, and immediately agreed: "Editor-in-chief, don't worry, I won't let you down." ”
Editor-in-Chief He said in a weird manner: "Someone has to remember what he said. ”
"I naturally remember what I said. However, if I succeed this time, I hope that Editor-in-Chief He will be a little self-aware in the future, and stop pointing fingers in front of me and making people annoying! ”
Zhang Yunfeng said unceremoniously.
"You!"
Editor-in-Chief He stood up angrily and was about to get angry.
But Zhang Yunfeng had already turned around and left, no longer paying attention to Editor-in-Chief He. He wants to call and communicate with Chu Gongzi, the author of the Matrix, immediately, this is about his career!
The Matrix comics, he only allowed success, and it was a big success.
However, a hint of jealousy also flashed in Editor-in-Chief He's eyes.
