Chapter 542: Editorial Department

readx;?

"BJ Cartoon" magazine, as well as the evaluation feedback of some comic readers on the Internet, it is easy to come to a conclusion - pure comic readers prefer "Douluo Da 6". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.infoβ•žβ•ͺβ”žβ•ͺβ•ͺ.

However, after all, "Breaking the Sky" is too popular as a novel, and it is almost in full swing. At the end of the serialized novel, Tudou asked for votes for the comic "Breaking the Sky", and as a result, tens of thousands of hardcore fans of Tudou mailed a reader survey to the editorial office.

You must know that under normal circumstances, 3% of the readers of each issue of the magazine and the reader survey form can be sent to the editorial office, which is very rare.

The number of reader surveys received by the normal editorial office fluctuates at more than 30,000. In the past, the number of feedback votes received from the popularity champion comics was only in the early 10,000s.

In this issue, more than 70,000 copies of the questionnaire were mailed to the editorial office. A lot of new ones have been added, and naturally they are voted by fans of potatoes.

"This ...... It's obviously unfair competition and breaks the rules! A BJ Cartoon editor said, "If readers of novels buy comic magazines, do their votes count?" "This editor is the editor in charge of "Douluo Da 6".

"It's possible that they bought the vote specifically for this issue, and after that, a lot of people may not be readers of the comic magazine. These votes undermine the fairness of the rules of the game! Our original intention was to get feedback from real comic readers and know what kind of work they liked the most. ”

"Can't say that, at least, they voted within the rules and there was no cheating!" Another editor smiled, "Willing to gamble and lose, you can pay for today's dinner!" ”

This high-spirited editor is naturally the editor in charge of the comic "Breaking the Sky".

"BJ Cartoon" magazine imitates the reader's questionnaire mechanism in Japan, and it is also a rare magazine in China where the questionnaire is supreme, and the analysis of manga results is mainly based on questionnaires. In the future, the publicity and promotion of manga will also be based on the questionnaire.

Decide the life and death of the serialized manga, the same questionnaire decides. Even if a comic editor thinks it's good. If the popularity of the questionnaire feedback is already at the bottom, it has to be ruthlessly completed within a time limit.,That is, the halving system of serialized comics.。

Comic magazines have to cater to their readers, serializing what mainstream readers like to see the most.

To prevent cheating. So, there are some rules for voting. The vote of the same city for the same work will only be counted as 1ooo votes at most, and the part that passes 1ooo votes will be counted as invalid.

And the vote for "Breaking the Sky". It is obviously scattered throughout the country and is not concentrated in a certain area to vote, so it is valid.

"Okay, you wait, I will also contact the original author of "Douluo", Sanshao, and ask him to call on the readers of the novel to vote for the comics!" The comic editor in charge of "Douluo" said.

At present, the most active editorial department under the small partner comic group, the editorial department of "BJ Cartoon" magazine, although it is full of internal competition. But it's a healthy competition.

Most of the editors are in their twenties and thirties, and few are in their forties. After all, this age group should be the group that knows the most about comics in China. β”‘β”’β•ž.γ€ˆγ€‚

He is too young, and although he is enthusiastic, he is too frizzy to analyze the industry more rationally.

Even older people hardly read comics when they were teenagers, and it is difficult to understand ACG culture. Being an editor in the comics industry is naturally incompetent.

And everyone's competition, in addition to making achievements, also has the psychology of digging out good works. Everyone's under their hands. There are some excellent works, and it is inevitable that they will have to separate each other's strengths and weaknesses.

The editor-in-chief above the office looked at the many young editors. Shaking his head, he complained: "It's good to be young!" ”

The editor-in-chief is older than the other editors, but he is only 38 years old. In the cultural industry, not very old editors.

But. The editor-in-chief of the editorial department of "BJ Cartoon", which is backed by a small partner group, is not just busy with magazine publishing and travel. Single books, as well as IP adaptations, are the most important things for the little friend comic group.

The threshold for comics is higher than that for novels. Moreover, the number of comics that can be serialized on "BJ Cartoon" is also very small, and it is basically one of the professional cartoonists in a hundred.

Unless these comics cannot be adapted in terms of subject matter, the little partner animation company will apply for funds and resources to adapt the comics serialized in the magazine into animation.

It is precisely for this reason that the little partner comic company can proudly believe that it is the absolute boss of the domestic animation industry. Other comic magazines, even if they are like the comics serialized under the banner of "Bosom Friend", there are still a few that have been adapted into animation.

But on the column serialization of the flagship magazine "BJ Cartoon" under the little friend comics, basically, there is a probability of six or seven percent of a single book, and at the same time, half of the probability is adapted into animation.

The rate of adaptation of this manga into anime is almost higher than that of Japanese magazines.

After all, there are a lot of manga magazines and manga artists in Japan, and the pressure of competition is too great. Therefore, even if many comics are excellent, they may not have the opportunity to be adapted.

The domestic manga market has just recovered, and the number of domestic manga artists and manga magazines is very small. There is a huge gap in the high-quality animation adapted from original comics. Therefore, many comics can be adapted into animation.

Of course, this is based on the fact that my little partner's grandfather has money. In other words, even if there are many high-quality IPs in hand that can be adapted, if there is no money, it may rot in the hands.

Only a very small number of IPs are long-lasting hotels, and more IP values are time-sensitive.

Some IPs were popular at the beginning, but they have not been adapted for many years, and they may have changed from popular to unpopular, and if they want to adapt again, the effect is not as good as that.

It is precisely because of this that the partner company is becoming more and more efficient in the efficiency of the adaptation of the work. A few years ago, the process of a work from the original book to the IP adaptation may take more than five years.

Nowadays, some of the original works have just been serialized, revealing their edge. Soon, the partner will start the IP adaptation plan.

From the serialization and publication of the original work to the opening and adaptation of the copyright of the work, the average cycle has been shortened to two or three years.

Of course, the previous adaptations are more in the direction of games, film and television, and the number of anime adaptations is still relatively small.

Nowadays, friends in animation will also catch up.

Starting this year, the little partner plans to adapt no less than 1o animation works, and there will be at least a few hundred episodes of original animation output every year.

This is not a problem of little partners having no money, in fact, investing in 1ooo sets, little partners will not frown. However, talent is hard to come by. Domestic original animation talents are still very scarce. As a result, small partner companies have to continue to go to Japan to dig up some talents in mature markets.

At first, the Japanese were not happy, thinking that working for the Chinese was a loss. But as Japan's economic environment is getting worse and worse. In particular, this year's Fukushima earthquake and nuclear power plant accident caused panic among some Japanese people and some ACG companies went bankrupt and laid off employees. In this way, the small partner company has gradually become more and more smooth to poach people in Japan. So far, there have been more than 2oo animation talents recruited by my friends in Japan. Among them, there are more than 5o people who have come to work in China and joined some domestic original teams.

Although some of the remaining people are reluctant to leave Japan, they still have a working attitude, and although their production level may not be able to reach the level of the most advanced team in Japan, the average level and experience are still better than the domestic team.

Therefore, the animation talent training plan of the little partner is a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, to cultivate domestic talents, and on the other hand, to tap Japanese talents.

After recruiting Japanese anime talents, I mixed with people trained in Japan. Either some people from Japan are sent to work in Japan, or some Japanese employees are sent to the domestic team. Gradually, mixing water with each other, in the long run, you can still learn a lot of experience and improve the original level of the domestic team. (To be continued.) )
