"Solo Singer" magazine has always been able to stuff any type of content into it, jokingly calling it a comprehensive magazine, but it is only their own province that causes this situation. Although it is published in any genre, it is a messy pot of stew, but almost all the submissions received are novels, with the only exception being that some readers will recommend some chicken soup for the soul.

Thinking back to the beginning, Yang Jie also rushed to submit a travelogue, but unfortunately it was not published in the end, and until now, the content except for the novel has been made up by themselves. The comic call for submissions drafted by Red Bean was published.,The situation still hasn't gotten better.,There are very few comics as expected.。

Except for a very small number of very successful cartoonists, most of the domestic cartoonists are still struggling to make ends meet, and the remuneration they offer is definitely the highest in the industry, and the same is true for the royalties of a single line, which should be very eye-catching, but the effect is not good.

The price of newcomers in other comic magazines in China is only twenty or thirty yuan a page, and the highest is not more than one hundred and fifteen, but they directly gave a price of three hundred per page, which is still not capped. This figure is still much worse than in Japan, according to Zi Cai Xinna, those super bullish cartoonists in Japan, even serialized in magazines get royalties.

The higher the sales of the magazine, the more the manuscript fee, of course, this royalty cannot be compared with a single book, half of it cannot be reached, but it should not be underestimated. Those who can get this kind of treatment should be those national treasure cartoonists whose works support the magazine, and most of the others are also priced at a price of 1,000 to 1,000 pages. Well, not the yen.

The jump of three hundred and one pages is still too bad in comparison, but this is not because Zhang Qiu regrets their petty family. In fact, this price has been described as a spoiler in China, and the media has reported it heavily. The market, environment, and so on are different from those in Japan. Naturally, the remuneration is not comparable.

Not only cartoonists, but also writers' treatment in China is as shabby as in Europe and the United States. If you look at the Forbes list, you can see that the number one domestic royalty income is only a few tenths compared to the writers who have reached the top in the United States. Now Zhang Qiuxi is a special case, she is the first in Forbes every year, but this is mainly due to the fact that her works have been sold all over the world, and the domestic royalties are not high, although what she has obtained is already the highest level in the industry.

301 pages is a relatively reasonable price, and 30,000 pages they also have money to open, the question is who can meet such a standard. How much should I pay for a work. In addition to the subjective factor of how much the editor thinks the work is worth, there is also the objective factor of operation.

It's not worth the price of the system itself, and it's not a good thing to raise the price to pay the manuscript fee, Zhang Qiuxi and they are happy to pull these cartoonists and writers, but it shouldn't be such a way, so it's better to help them directly.

"So far, we've received less than 10 submissions, which is a bit of a small number, but considering how long it has taken to start receiving submissions. Some cartoonists estimate that they haven't had time to create a story even if they are tempted, so it should be a lot, but I don't know how it compares to other manga magazines? Hongdou used these manuscripts as a fan, and said while fanning them.

The manuscript was first reviewed by Ye Qingqing and Zi Cai Xinna. As a result, their opinions were surprisingly consistent, and none of them could enter their eyes, and the opinions given were all rejections. The editor-in-chief of Red Bean (who says the editor-in-chief can also do it) does not participate in the review of comics. But I couldn't resist my curiosity, so I read all the manuscripts as well.

"I don't know how many manuscripts other magazines will receive. Anyway, I paid special attention to it and found that all the serials last year were the works of those fixed cartoonists. I guess it's not much. Yang Jie sighed and said, "Speaking of which, you've been involved in the animation industry for so long, don't you know anything about the industry?" ”

Zhang Qiuxi smiled playfully and teased: "You obviously have no interest in anime at all, and you're just a supernumerary member, I didn't expect to be so attentive, we didn't expect to learn about the situation from other magazines." ”

"Good intentions are not rewarded." Yang Jie twisted her head to the side.

They have zero contact with other comic magazines, and they don't know anyone, so it's impossible to make a phone call and ask how many manuscripts they receive in an average month. The phone number is easy to find, but it is so reckless to ask who will sue them, so I can only hope to find some clues from those magazines.

"Fortunately, I didn't start the magazine so hastily at the beginning, otherwise it would have been a tragedy, and I could only publish all these things indiscriminately." Shangguan Jin sighed, and then said: "Actually, I really think that story called Oolong Campus is okay, don't you really think about it?" ”

Among these manuscripts,Some of them still have zài problems with the painting skills themselves.,The storyboard design is not good and looks messy.,Purple color Shina brought back those H fandoms should be more tidy.。 Others can be neat, and the painting style is barely okay, but the story is a mess again, and the details are too scummy.

"Oolong Campus" is a higher level, and it is even more good, Ye Qingqing and Zicai Xinna shot it, Zhang Qiuxi also said that the reason for the affirmation is just the type and style of the story, so he said: "Campus funny comics, don't you think it's very similar to a magazine's backfight campus?" Although it is not plagiarism, there are too many works in this category. ”

The most in the Celestial Empire is all kinds of funny comics, and it is also the most successful in this genre, except for them, "Fighting Campus" can be said to be the most successful comic works in China. The author has been serialized for many years, and many readers have never thought of opening a big story when they feel aesthetic fatigue, and they are still dragging it out like this.

"There are too many similar works not the reason why I gave my rejection opinion, in fact, I haven't seen what you said about the anti-fight campus, but I just think it's not good enough, maybe it's because I don't know much about the campus life of the Celestial Empire, anyway, I don't think the campus should be like this." Zicai Nobuna's review opinion is very subjective, and it is normal for a Japanese person not to know about the Celestial Empire comics, and it is even more natural that he can't read it.

"This story is really okay, but the audience is too young to fit our positioning." Ye Qingqing's review comments are like this.

Japanese anime, no matter what genre, you can feel that taste at a glance, but domestic comics can hardly find this feeling, which may be because it is too affected, and every anime lover must watch Japanese comics more. And this style of domestic comics, the audience is indeed very young.

The original time and space of "A Yuan", "Pea", and "Little Cherry", which is suspected of plagiarism, are all like this, at a glance, you will feel that it is something that children see, in fact, most of the people who buy serialized magazines of these works are primary and secondary school students, which can be seen from some of the friends and interactions published in the magazine.

Animation is a child's thing.,Chinese people will have this impression, which is probably one of the reasons.,In fact, domestic comics haven't always been like this.,A long time ago, "Snow Coconut" could find this feeling.,It's just that there are few such excellent works now.。

"Well, that's what I mean." Zhang Qiuxi nodded, saying that she agreed with Ye Qingqing's opinion, even if it was a work of young age, she didn't think it should be such a type.

"I think there should be all kinds of types, but what you said can be understood a little bit, although you don't know it accurately, you don't bother to ask, it's not interesting." Yang Jie shook her head, and then said, "What I want to ask is, what are your requirements for comics?" What is positioning? ”

“……”

"Friendship, hard work, victory, probably." Zhang Qiuxi was very unconfident, Yang Jie hurriedly waved her hand and said: "I understand, I understand, you still write a rejection opinion, but the reason for rejection seems to be unconvinced." ”

Now that the comic magazine has not yet been founded, it seems that it is not necessary to determine why, and it is just a matter of feeling to receive or something, and to position it is nothing more than to elaborate this feeling. Well, that's not right, if you don't say it, how do others know, and how do you know if your work is in line with their positioning?

"So at the beginning, Xiaoqiu, you should honestly write the acceptance requirements, I don't know as much about anime as you do." Hongdou scratched her head helplessly, she didn't think of this before, if it wasn't for Zhang Qiuxi's nonsense, she wouldn't have snatched this matter.

"Qingqing, Xinnai, you two re-edit the call for papers, Xiaoqiu, your task is to write rejection opinions, Yang Jie, you are responsible for sorting out the contact addresses of these contributors, writing envelopes and affixing stamps." Red Beans followed closely and gave orders.

Zhang Qiuxi has not been a guest editor for a day or two, and it is the first time to write a rejection opinion, there are too many submissions to the novel, and I don't have time to give serious comments on each one, most of them are formulaic rejection opinions that Hongdou has prepared for a long time.

But it's hard, first of all, it should be the respected author, hello. We regret to inform you that your manuscript has been cross-reviewed by our editors and found that it does not meet our publication requirements, so it will not be accepted, so the original manuscript will be returned.

For rejection comments, even if they are formatted, they should not be too cold, which is likely to discourage the author's enthusiasm or even confidence, so you should also encourage a few words, which is also the professionalism of an editor. pointed out the shortcomings, praised the merits, and finally asked the author to continue to work hard, looking forward to the next opportunity to cooperate.

I looked at it and felt that it was very heartwarming and handed it to Yang Jie, Yang Jie also felt that there was no problem after reading it, and then stuffed it into the envelope and filled in the contact information. In this way, it is done, and you are done sending it. (To be continued......) R1292
