Major campuses have ushered in a new pop culture impact, for example, new serialized comics have also begun to enter the campus and quietly become the latest pop culture.

The two comics "Douluo Continent" and "Breaking the Sky" were serialized in "BJ Cartoon" magazine almost at the same time.

These are all adaptations of popular novels, and there is no doubt that the subject matter caters to the appetite of today's young people.

With the adaptation of these two works into comics, not only the IP influence of the comics themselves has been further improved. Moreover, "BJ Cartoon" once again ushered in two powerful masterpieces, which made the circulation of comic magazines appear to have a wave of growth.

Originally, "BJ Cartoon" has introduced some high-quality original content on the Internet after years of hard work. For example, "100,000 Bad Jokes", "Never Expected" and "Runaway Comics" and other IPs. However, these works of the cold joke type are destined to become masterpieces.

The most leading trend in the comic industry is still Wang Daoman! That is, works that contain elements such as blood, friendship, battle, adventure, etc., are the most royal genres in the comic industry.

The top comic magazines rely on the continuous launch of the popular Wang Dao Comic to maintain the continuous growth and expansion of the market.

After surpassing one million copies in 2010, the growth of BJ Cartoon magazine has come to a standstill.

In the first half of 2011, the highest issue had a circulation of 1.07 million copies, and the lowest issue was only 910,000 copies. Generally speaking, the issuance volume has been hovering at a high level, and has entered the stage of retreating if it does not advance.

And after the "two struggles", all of a sudden, "BJ Cartoon" began to be lively. The circulation of the new issue of the magazine was boosted to 1.16 million copies, a record high.

At the same time, more than 800,000 copies of the electronic version of the magazine "BJ Cartoon" on the Internet were subscribed. It can be said that the number of readers of BJ Cartoons. It has already started to reach 2 million!

Many friends are very interested in these two new serialized works.

""Douluo Continent" is so good, it's better than "Naruto". There are also awesome cartoonists in China! ”

"The original story of the three young men of the Tang family. Mu Fengchun is the painter, this combination is almost amazing!"

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor!" A teenager. Holding the magazine in his hand, he felt his blood boiling all over his body when he flipped through "Breaking the Sky", and he was even more excited than watching "One Piece".

"The painting style of "Douluo Continent" is so good......" Some people think that the comic version of "Douluo Continent" is even better.

""Dou Po" makes people's blood boil!" It's an unsolvable argument, turnip and cabbage, each with its own love. Even though both are works with similar themes, readers still feel different due to the differences in settings and plots.

Of course, let Wang Qinian evaluate. He will also feel that it is purely at the level of comics. The comic version of "Douluo Continent" is adapted to be better than "Breaking the Sky".

Although the novel version of "Breaking the Sky" is almost invincible all over the world on the Internet. For so many years in the online novel industry, there is no book that can match its popularity. Whether it is "unprecedented" or not, it is difficult to say, but at least "unprecedented" is a definite statement.

Even some works with better creativity and writing than "Dou Po" are still inferior to popularity.

This is the royal theme in the novel, and the white readers are the most among all readers. And in the Xiaobai group. can arouse more resonance, and naturally you can be popular!

But the popularity of the novel does not necessarily mean that the comics adapted from it can also replicate the achievements of the novel version. On the one hand, yes. Novel adaptations will be greatly discounted, some novels may be more suitable for adaptation into comics, and in addition, excellent novels can be met but not found, and cartoonists who can adapt novels into excellent comics are also hard to find.

Cartoonists and writers are needed. They are all good at this subject matter and can grasp the subject matter well. Moreover, his painting style and ability must match the work. In addition, whether the market likes this style of painting and plot is also very crucial.

After all, novels and comics are two markets after all, and their readers overlap somewhat, but the degree of overlap is not very high. At least the vast majority of online novel readers do not read comics, and at the same time, there are many comic book readers who do not read online novels.

However, on the new issue of the magazine's reader survey, the results of "Breaking the Sky" obviously surpassed "Douluo Continent", and won the championship of this issue of the magazine with 17,157 votes of readers.

In addition, "Douluo Continent" was praised with 13,281 votes, or the runner-up of serialized comics.

This traditional mail-in voting is currently the main way to give feedback on the works of "BJ Cartoon". Because, voting by mail has a lot of money, and you must be a subscriber to the magazine. In addition, the questionnaire for each issue must arrive at the magazine within two weeks after the publication of the magazine before it can be included in the statistical report.

And expired magazine votes don't count.

The electronic version of the vote on the Internet is only reference data, and the weight is 10%, which does not occupy the dominant weight.

The main reason for this is that it is more expensive to mail and it is more difficult to cheat. The electronic version of cheating, on the other hand, is much easier.

The remuneration of "BJ Cartoon" is relatively high compared to the current domestic magazines, and once the comic is accepted, the remuneration per page is as high as 3,000 yuan. Famous artists and ordinary cartoonists, the current remuneration in magazines is the same.

The difference is that famous artists often sign long-term contracts and serialize long-form comics in magazines. Serialized cartoonists can easily earn tens of thousands of yuan to more than 100,000 yuan per month.

This part of the remuneration is only the most basic income of serialized cartoonists. In general, if the comic is popular, it will be published as a single book. For the publication of a single book, the cartoonist can get a royalty share, and what determines the income of the cartoonist is more about the circulation of the single book.

The reader survey feedback form is currently for "BJ Cartoon" to decide whether the eligibility for serialized manga can be continued. Once the ranking of readers' feedback continues to fall below 20 and the results do not improve, the qualification for serialization will be cancelled.

Once the serialization qualification is canceled, then, it is necessary to prepare a new manga. Stable jobs are naturally threatened. This is because, even popular manga artists cherish the qualification to be serialized in top manga magazines like "BJ Cartoon". (To be continued.) )
