Chapter 105: Free vs. Advertising

Because China in this world has a relatively developed animation industry, the voice actors are not just simple dubbing, and the famous voice actors will also sing the theme song of the animation and participate in commercial performances, so the voice actors of the big fire will have many fans.

Famous writers, not to mention, they themselves have their own traffic, and you can see the clues from Su Han's body.

Using the popularity of famous voice actors and authors to promote "Y's", attracting the attention of fans, and then using a wave of advertisements to fix some popularity, the effect is much better than dry advertising.

"It's a good move for you to promote Y's with a free download, but the cost is too high. Although the production of radio dramas is not as good as animation, it also requires a lot of money, not to mention inviting famous authors. The editor-in-chief said.

"But the president didn't refuse, right?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"That's true, but ......"

"Don't worry, the president must have his way. In short, you won't lose money. Shen Xin waved his hand, "Editor-in-chief, I'm going to draw the original manuscript for the next issue." Sister Yan, will you go to the studio and get the name of the next episode? ”

"Oh...... No problem. Editor-in-chief, I'll go to Mr. Shen's studio first. Yan Fei said goodbye to the editor-in-chief, followed Shen Xin, and entered the elevator.

"Not a loss? Impossible, right? So how do you do it? The editor-in-chief muttered quietly.

Inside the conference room.

Song Ren leaned on the backrest and rested his feet on the conference table.

Five or six minutes after Shen Xin left, his emotions still did not calm down, and he looked at Song Tai who closed his eyes from time to time, and finally couldn't help but say, "Dad, how can you agree to his request?" It costs a lot of money to invite popular voice actors and popular authors, and in addition, CD is not published, but only an online version...... The production company will definitely not do it, and when the time comes, all the expenses will be paid by ourselves. ”

Song Tai shook his head, "You, when can you see farther away?" Mr. Shen is the author of our magazine, and he also knows that if there are too many requirements, it will affect the operation of the magazine, and "Y's" will definitely be implicated at that time. ”

"Is that still not too much to ask? Dad, this is to allow readers to download radio dramas for free, and the cost will not be recovered at all. Song Ren complained.

He should have considered the issue of funding when he made such a request. Besides, you should also know that free stuff tends to be the most expensive. ”

"Readers can listen to radio dramas for free, where is it expensive?" Song Ren glanced at Song Tai.

The old man also opened his eyes and said softly: "We can add advertisements to the radio drama, and the production cost of the radio drama will come out of these advertisements, I guess Mr. Shen should have thought of these things." ”

"Advertising? Also. If it's a CD, adding ads to it will get listeners to complain, but for free, we don't have that concern – we can add ads anywhere in the radio drama. Song Ren patted his forehead, his face was happy, and then shook his head, "But there should be few companies willing to put advertisements in radio dramas, right?" ”

"You're right, radio dramas are usually sold physically, like tapes or CDs, and these carriers have a limited capacity, so they rarely include advertising. Sometimes radio stations also broadcast radio dramas, and at that time, some advertisements are added in the middle of the radio dramas. People are also more accustomed to radio dramas without commercials. It's hard to change people's habits, so that's why I said that I'll be in charge of the Y's one-liner from now until October. If you are someone else, you may encounter a lot of difficulties. ”

Song Ren nodded, "Dad, you'll be very busy this way." ”

"If you're busy, you're busy, and I'm also for the future of the magazine." Song Tae sighed.

"Dad, since you are so optimistic about him, then why don't you let Miss Ji give him some publicity?" Song Ren was puzzled.

"If Mr. Shen Zheng's next comic book is still published in New World, I will definitely do my best to support him. But with the current state of affairs, sooner or later he will have to leave. I had to save my hand and see if I could support another manga of the same quality. Otherwise, when he leaves, "New World" will collapse. Everyone is smart, so the next time we have a discussion, we will touch the bottom line on both sides. ”

Song Tai shook his head, also feeling helpless.

He is well aware of what Y's means to New World, however, the format of New World is too small. After Shen Xin won the "Newcomer Award", "New World" couldn't keep Shen Xin.

For the magazine, the best result is that Shen Xin entered the top five, but missed the "Newcomer Award", so that everyone can sit down and talk slowly.

Or, by July, finalize the contract for the next book, and Song Tae can also let go of his baggage.

However, considering that "Y's" opponents are "Hunting the Abyss" and "Punishment", the probability of it winning the "Rookie Award" is less than 10%.

The two sides can take a step back from each other, so that there will be room for maneuver.

"Why don't I keep an eye on the editorial office these few months? See if you can find a high-quality work? Song Ren lowered his legs from the table and said with interest.

"You? No way. You guy is too unreassuring, and besides, do you have an opinion about Teacher Shen? Song Tae asked.

"I don't have any opinions, I just think that he didn't greet us last time, so he directly declared war on Weibo, which is too indifferent to us. It's just an author, why is it so horizontal. Song Ren rolled his eyes.

"You...... Remember, Yunchuan is not only a magazine "New World", but also Yunchuan is not the only place in China that has a comic market. 'It's easy to get, but it's hard to find', don't be clever in everything. Song Tai said meaningfully.

Song Ren pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Then it also depends on whether those big magazines can look up to him." ”

"What did you say?" Song Tai glared at Song Ren, "Do you believe it or not, we will terminate the contract with him now, and in the next second, Luo Zhi will send the maximum salary?" Stinky boy, don't take things for granted. ”

"Dad...... Ahem, I'm not going to trouble him. I mean, I'm only in charge of finding the right new people, and I don't meddle in anything else. Song Ren assured.

"You guy, don't make any trouble." Song Tai frowned and said.

"I know that I will never interfere with the normal operation of the newsroom." Song Ren looked serious.

"You go first...... By the way, call the editor-in-chief, and I'll talk to him about which authors to choose. Song Tai waved his hand, and only when he saw Song Ren out of the room did he sigh.

This kid is still too frizzy.

……

After Shen Xin left the conference room, he first went to the finance room with Yan Fei to mention the royalties.

Finance told Shen Xin that last month's royalties had been paid to his bank card.

After leaving the magazine, Shen Xin and Yan Fei went to the bank again and withdrew two sums of money, which were considered rewards for Gao Hang and Lu Ning.

When the two of them returned to the studio, they were stunned when they saw the door of the studio slightly open.

"The door is unlocked?" Yan Fei asked.

"It should be Xiaohan who is here." Shen Xin wasn't so sure.

He had told Su Han and Gao Hang before that he would come to the studio today, but he didn't ask the two of them to come over.

Pushing open the door, Shen Xin saw Gao Hang, who was only wearing a sweater on his upper body, carrying a mop and coming out of the bathroom, Lu Ning also took off his cotton clothes and wiped the table with a damp cloth, while Xi Muhan poured the garbage on the ground into the trash can.

"Why are you here?" Shen Xin was surprised.

Gao Hang turned his head to see Shen Xin, and hurriedly greeted, "Teacher Shen, I think if I don't come to work, there will be something missing, so I asked Miss Lu to contact Xiaohan to do some work in advance." ”

Lu Ning didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"Seeing that your fighting spirit is so high, I am also relieved. This year is going to be harder than before, and you have to be ready. Of course, before that......" Shen Xin took out two envelopes from his inner pocket, "This is a New Year's red envelope, right?" ”
