After the "Messenger of the East", "Steel Forged" is equivalent to opening a new chapter.

This "newness" is not only the end of an old plot, the arrival of a new plot, but also the addition of new characters.

The model of Xingguo is Huaxia, both in composition and clothing, which is very consistent with the ancient Huaxia in the comics of District 11. But there are also differences between Fu Ye and Lan. Although Fang wears a theatrical mask, whether it is action or weapons, it is somewhat biased towards Area 11, so Shen Xin also modified the image of the two people to make their image more biased towards Huaxia.

In three episodes in a row, the progress of the story is very smooth, and the biggest conflict is the Elric brothers and Lan. The duel between Fang and Fu Ye.

The ranking of the small book of "Steel" is very stable, closely following "Game", but in the popularity list, "Steel" and the works behind it are shrinking at a very fast rate.

Shen Xin doesn't care too much about this, this ranking is not without benefits for him, but it only represents the popularity on the Internet, and does not represent the quality of the work.

It is precisely because of this that the momentum of "Sky Wolf" will be so ferocious, sitting in four and watching three, and the goal is directly aimed at "Steel" in third place.

The impact of multi-comm on "CF" is also stable, at the beginning of the 38th issue, it has been floating around 4.6 million, down 600,000 copies a month, for a magazine, it can be called an avalanche, but you can also think about the benefits, that is, the erosion of webtoons on magazines has also reached a bottleneck period, and perhaps there will be signs of recovery in paper magazines in the future.

This is not much news for Comic Future.

However, at the same time, there is also a not-so-good news from the magazine - "The Legend of the Dragon King" will end the 40th issue of the magazine.

Although everyone in the newsroom knew the news, when the day came, every editor, especially Jia Hui, felt sad and helpless.

This not only symbolizes the end of an era, but also shows that one day in the future, the magazine will face the multi-comic network with Wang Yunze, which may have a greater impact on "Comic Future".

Although Wang Yunze was destined to leave, out of respect for him, the magazine still gave the cover and the color page of the headpiece to "The Legend of the Dragon King" and interviewed him. Wang Yunze also said a lot of praise to "Comic Future", and there is no indication that the magazine and Wang Yunze will part ways, or even rival each other.

Wang Yunze's departure means the end of an era of "Comic Future", and in the future, the magazine will enter the "post-Wang Yunze era" or "Wang-free Yunze era".

Who will be the new helmsman of the big ship "Comic Future" is very unanimous in the magazine, and it is nothing more than Shen Xin or Ye Hexu.

"Hunting the Abyss" is on hiatus, and even if it is serialized, no one can be sure of the subsequent length of "Hunting the Abyss". Therefore, Shen Xin and "Steel Forge" are in an advantageous position.

This is also the consensus within the magazine.

As the focus of the editors, Shen Xin did not have this will, and he did not want to be the helmsman of "Comic Future" - this kind of honor was more like a shackle to him, and when he wanted to make a choice, he would appear in front of him, stipulating that he could not do certain things, otherwise he would be sorry for the magazine.

He knows that he may get a lot of resources because of this honor, but in contrast, he prefers to make his own decisions rather than being forced to be limited by people or institutions, so he has to make trade-offs.

Of course, these things are not specified, and the two sides are also very satisfied with the current cooperation.

In the issue of "The Legend of the Dragon King" at the end, the sales of the magazine exceeded 4.8 million copies for the first time, and many people who grew up watching "The Legend of the Dragon King" chose to buy a magazine, which can be regarded as seeing the "Legend of the Dragon King" leave, and on the hot list, "The Legend of the Dragon King" beat "Game" and reached the top again.

At the same time, readers are also discussing Wang Yunze's whereabouts and whether he will create long-form comics; If you do, will you stay in "Comic Future".

Because Wang Yunze's contract with "Comic Future" has not yet ended, neither side has announced the news of Wang Yunze's departure.

Duoman.com is not in a hurry, creating comics is not a dumpling, it is impossible to finish one as soon as it is drawn, and the next one will come out immediately.

Considering that after the end of the new work, Wang Yunze will have to recuperate for a period of time and go to the hospital to see the small problems on his body.

Wang Yunze's reply is that it will take about half a year before the work comes out.

“…… In other words, within this year, we can't use Mr. Wang Yunze to do publicity. At the internal meeting of Duoman.com, Tong Yu emphasized to the editor-in-chief and other responsible persons in Duoman.com, "Moreover, since Mr. Wang's contract with Comic Future has not expired, we can't announce that Mr. Wang will join Comic next year." ”

"That's ...... But now the traffic of Duoman.com is only average, although the seven free comics are in the readership base, and there is a good response, but the update speed of other comics is too slow. As a result, the advantage of the website is not as great as we think. A middle-aged man said.

This person's name is Qian Sheng, and he was originally the editor-in-chief of a second-tier magazine in District 11. After Tong Yu talked to him, Qian Sheng immediately expressed interest and hoped to get in touch with the webtoon.

"What is the reason?"

"Cartoonists don't get enough protection, and I think the minimum fee of 80 yuan is too low...... We have to at least solve the worries of the author. ”

"How much do you think?"

"200, of course, in order to guarantee income, we can raise the standard of the manuscript for income." Qian Sheng replied.

"In this case, what is the difference between us and the magazine?" Tong Yu frowned and rubbed his chin, "That's it...... You go to classify the works, and the qualified works start at 200 yuan, and if the painting skills are a little worse, but the story is new or suitable for adaptation into TV, then it starts at 80 yuan. ”

"Why do you want to set up 80 yuan files?" Qian Sheng was puzzled.

"As long as it's 'meat,' I want it to rot in the pot." Tong Yu bared his teeth and smiled, "In a hundred comics, as long as there is one 'baby', we will earn it." ”

A businessman is to make a big deal with a small one.

It's better to have a "baby", even if there is no "baby", he won't lose too much.

"In addition, there is the book library, after all, we don't have enough content, and we don't have a finished comic, and once the novelty of waiting is over, readers can easily return to the paper magazine."

"You can rest assured of this." Tong Yu took out his tablet, slid it twice, and sent a form to Qian Sheng through the mailbox, "I'll give you a form, which is the comic copyright we purchased, the first batch of 50, and we will cooperate with other magazines in the future." This batch of comics is being put together and I expect to be able to upload them online by November—in addition, the second batch will be uploaded in January next year. ”

Qian Sheng was stunned, but he didn't expect Tong Yu to have a backhand.

"In addition, next year, I am going to hold a prize with a total prize of 5 million, and when the time comes, whether to send one comic or five comics, you can discuss it carefully." Tong Yu said with a smile.

Qian Sheng looked at Tong Yu in surprise again, Tong Yu and Fengshuo Media entered the venue, I'm afraid it's not as simple as playing twice.
