Chapter 744: Light Novels and the Internet

At the annual meeting, in addition to the announcement of the results by the organizers, there is also the communication between the authors.

Shen Xin has not participated in many similar activities, and after meeting other authors, he inevitably exchanged pleasantries.

Since the copyright of "DN" is sold, there is only one game copyright left, as for changing "DN" into a game...... Shen Xin hadn't thought much about it.

There are also companies that want to contact Shen Xin, and Shen Xin handed it over to Wang Wenhong.

Xi Muhan is also the focus of the annual meeting.

Although it is not the first time for her to participate in the annual meeting, but last time, she was still a newcomer in the comic circle, this time it is different, "Ding Shi" has become famous in the comic industry, and Xi Muhan is also known by more people, coupled with her pure and lovely appearance, which attracted the favor of many companies, but she was also stopped by Wang Wenhong one by one.

Seeing that Xi Muhan was holding Shen Xin's hand all the time, the person in charge of the company could only laugh dryly and move his gaze to Wang Wenhong.

As time went by, the author gradually left, and Shen Xin also took Xi Muhan and Lu Ning to leave first after greeting Bao Jiyi, Shang Haozhi, and Yu Chen.

When the group left the manor, a cold wind blew, and snowflakes drifted in the sky.

Wang Wenhong went to the parking lot to drive, and Shen Xin and others stood on the side of the road and waited.

Xi Muhan tightened his clothes and held Shen Xin with his little hands.

Shen Xin felt that Xi Muhan's hands were a little cold, and turned around and asked, "Is it cold?" ”

Xi Muhan shook his head, "It's not cold." I met a lot of cartoonists today, and I have a feeling that I am also a person in this circle. ”

"What's good in the comic world?" Shen Xin said helplessly, "Every circle is about the same. ”

Every circle has a black side, not only in the comic circle, but also in the online literature circle before the crossing.

Authors and authors, authors and readers, authors and editors, authors and contracts......

The complexity of the relationships is hard to imagine.

Small circles, ghostwriting, swiping tickets, being swiped...... These things are also there.

Ordinary authors only want to create works, but "Lin wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop", many times, the situation will get out of control.

In the face of Xi Muhan, Shen Xin didn't want to be so realistic, and in most cases, hard work and dreams are still very useful.

Lu Ning glanced at Shen Xin and Xi Muhan, and said with a wry smile: "You two are comfortable, but Sister Yan and I are ...... miserable."

Shen Xin glanced at Lu Ning and saw that she was covering her ears with her hands, stomping her feet, and her clothes were covered with snowflakes.

"What are you suffering for?" Shen Xin turned his head, "You can also hold Sister Yan." ”

"That's it, you can hold Sister Yan."

Xi Muhan squeezed her eyebrows at Lu Ning, and Lu Ning was so angry that she almost scratched her.

Yan Fei was a little sleepy and didn't squeak.

At this moment, the headlights flickered, Wang Wenhong drove a black MPV, slowly stopped in front of everyone, and after everyone got into the car, he handed a can of sobering drink to Yan Fei, and then the car started slowly.

"By the way, isn't the animation of "Ding Shi" released? How about the sales of single books? Shen Xin glanced at Xi Muhan behind him through the rearview mirror, and saw that she was looking out the window, so he was curious.

"I don't know, I shouldn't have come out so soon, right?" Xi Muhan shook his head.

The statistics of the sales of a single book are measured on a weekly basis, and it will be two days later until the editor gives feedback to the author.

"I looked at a little data, and it was not bad, more than 100,000 copies were sold this week." Yan Fei rubbed her face, and the whole person had a little energy.

"Hundreds of thousands? Brother Xin's new book has exceeded one million. Xi Muhan felt that it was a little little.

"Xiaohan, "Ding Shi" has not released a new book yet, and it is good to have this result. Really-" Yan Fei hurriedly explained, and at the same time there was a hint of happiness in her heart, "There is really no comic in China that is comparable to "DN", I thought that the last time the results fluctuated, the sales of a single book would be affected, but I didn't expect that the sales volume was the most among the three. ”

"The readers of the single book and the magazine don't exactly coincide." Shen Xin said with a smile, "Many readers who buy a single book have joined the work, and they usually don't have time to read magazines, so they buy a single book on vacation, so even if the public opinion was not friendly to "DN" some time ago, they will buy it." ”

"This is indeed a reason, when the anime is released, it is estimated that sales will skyrocket again. Mr. Shen, do you think the weekly sales of "DN" will exceed 2 million? Yan Fei asked.

"No, it won't." Wang Wenhong answered.

"I'm asking Teacher Shen." Yan Fei was a little dissatisfied with Wang Wenhong's interjection.

"I agree with Brother Wang's words, the sales volume in a single week should not reach 2 million."

"Why? Obviously the sales are very good. Xi Muhan was puzzled.

"Because ...... "DN" is an evil comic. The number of readers who like evil manga is not as large as that of royal manga. Shen Xin explained, "The average sales of a single book of "DN" may reach 2 million copies, but it is unlikely to exceed 2 million in a single week. ”

This is like fantasy, the readership base is very large, even if there are no die-hard fans, the income brought to the author is likely to be higher than that of niche themes.

It has nothing to do with the quality of the work, it has to do with the readership.

Thinking of the Internet, Shen Xin remembered what Bao Jiyi said at the annual meeting.

"By the way, Yan Fei, what does Mr. Bao mean by the light network?" Before Shen Xin crossed over, he was also an online author, so he was more concerned about online literature.

"Oh, you said that...... As you know, although not as intuitive as manga, it has a short update cycle, only one person is needed to create, and the cycle to verify whether a work can be accepted by readers is also short. If there is really a good light, the magazine can find a cartoonist for the light, and then serialize it on the app. ”

"Want to differentiate Comic Future from the app?" When Wang Wenhong heard this, he immediately understood.

"Clever."

"So how does the author make a profit?"

This is what Shen Xin is most concerned about.

Any industry, if it wants to grow, must be profitable. Before the network was charged, the authors were also renewed, because the network authors had to survive, and when the network didn't bring them money, they had to find another livelihood.

Serialization on the network is light, and the network is very similar, I don't know how to charge.

"No, just some bonds that you can read comics."

Dot...... Bonds......

Shen Xin has a black line, and it is really the original mode of online literature.

In the beginning, many people also began to serialize on the Internet for the sake of literary dreams.

It is no exaggeration to say that at the time, many authors were struggling to make ends meet, but they used their love of literature to upload their articles online – although many of them had already been finished by TJ.

But this is also something that can't be helped, and creators can't calm down and create until their livelihood is settled.
