"Oh, got it."

Shen Xin nodded slightly, his evaluation on the Internet was almost numb, especially the end of this sentence was so "underwhelming".

But breaking the chapter is a skill and a science, and many authors have not grasped the essence. In comparison, Shen Xin still admires Gui Zhenghe's disjointed skills.

"Do you know that readers will scold and draw like this?" Lu Ning looked helpless.

"Drawing comics is a kind of creation. Miss Lu, if a reader says a word casually, you have to find a way to integrate it into the comics, and you can't create good works. This is my advice to you. Shen Xin reminded, "On the other hand, others will only discuss it if they have watched "Y's", so it is also a good thing that someone scolds." ”

Is that okay? But what Shen Xin said seems to be right.

Someone scolds, indicating that some readers are watching. If the reader doesn't even want to mention it, it means that this cartoon is really over.

"How's the outstation rating?" Gao Hang asked.

"Other Sites...... I'll take a look at Manjia.com. Lu Ning opened the forum of Manjia.com and found the section of "Other Magazines", on which there were still new posts related to "Y's", but the topic of discussion was the content before the third or fourth words.

"These posts seem to be related to single books." Lu Ning turned around and said.

"Isn't it? After the single book, "Y's" also published five episodes, how can no one talk about it? It was obviously quite popular before, but during the Chinese New Year, the children in my neighborhood were talking about this comic, and it shouldn't be that no one reads it. Gao Hang was surprised.

"Actually, it's not difficult to understand," Shen Xin said.

"Why?" Gao Hang was a little incomprehensible, and Lu Ning also looked at Shen Xin in confusion.

"Y's has entered the domestic market, but New World has not yet been recognized by domestic readers. The price of a magazine is about the same as the price of a single book. If the reader is only interested in one of the comics, it is better to buy the book. Shen Xin explained.

"Did it have an impact on Y's sales?" Lu Ning asked.

"It should have an impact." Shen Xin thought for a moment, "After all, the time interval between the release of each single book is too long, and readers will lose interest in "Y's". ”

This is also the case with web novels.

For example, some online authors update too slowly, and some readers will "tune" the novel, and wait for hundreds of chapters to be updated and then read it in one go, which is commonly known as "raising books". But after a long time, the reader will forget the previous content, and when they re-read it, they will no longer find the feeling of reading the book in the first place.

If it gets to this extent, the book can't be "picked up".

"What then? Let the magazine advertise more? Or create some public opinion? "Y's" finally gained such popularity, and it's a pity to lose it in vain. Gao Hang was a little anxious.

Lu Ning bowed slightly, her thoughts coincided with Gao Hang.

"If advertising worked, New World wouldn't be just a second-tier magazine. What we have to do is to ensure the quality of "Y's", even if it takes two or three months to publish a single book, there will still be people who remember this manga. ”

"Really? Can it be done? Gao Hang's eyes lit up.

"Hmm." Shen Xin nodded.

An old thief often breaks off for more than half a year, and there are still people watching the re-serialization. The same is true for online novels, some authors of weekly and even monthly updates, as long as new chapters are released, they can still attract readers.

The quality is not enough, the quantity is to make up.

If a book is of poor quality and slow to update, its fate will definitely be that of the Servant Street.

So far, the quality of "Y's" has been relatively good, so even if there is a loss of personnel, it is within the range that Shen Xin can accept. What's more, the last sentence of the second volume is on the way of Iori and Yi Gui's travels, and the next thing happens to be a wonderful place, which should leave a large part of the reader.

Lu Ning's face eased a lot, and then the mouse clicked to the homepage of Manjia.com, and on the banner at the top of the website, it was written "Comics Festival Primary Selection Works Sales List", and he subconsciously clicked on the webpage.

"Teacher Shen, are you going to select the Newcomer Award?" Lu Ning asked.

"yes...... The sales volume of a single book must enter the top 10 to have a chance. Shen Xin picked up the dipping pen and began to sketch the ink line.

"Let me see, teacher, you are now in 17th place, with a total of 510,000 copies sold." Lu Ning looked at the ranking of the rookie list and said.

"Huh? Is it only in 17th place? Shen Xin was a little surprised, he thought that the ranking would be higher, "How many books are the first place?" ”

"1.2 million copies, but that one has already been published in four copies. On average, a book sells 300,000 copies. ”

The newcomer award at the comic festival is different from other awards. Most of the other awards are based on the performance of the work in the most recent year, and the evaluation time is from the beginning of July last year to the end of June this year.

And because the newcomer award has a minimum requirement of 30 words, the comics published after December last year can't be published with 30 words before June.

Therefore, entries for the Newcomer Award are not based on the date of publication, but on the release date of the first volume of the feature-length manga. Between the beginning of July last year and the end of June this year, only cartoonists who released a single book of long-form comics for the first time are eligible to participate in the Newcomer Award.

In fact, after March, there were very few single books for newcomers on sale, and the magazine society postponed the release date for a few more months to allow these works to participate in the next rookie awards.

Because of this, some of the comics that participated in the selection have already published four or five volumes. And "Y's" has only been on sale since November last year, and it is not easy to squeeze into the top 20.

"But ......" Lu Ning looked at the ranking, her brows furrowed, "The 18th place is "Crime and Punishment", and the single book has reached 500,000 copies. ”

"500,000 copies in a single copy?" Shen Xin pinched the bridge of his nose, "The gap is a bit big." Moreover, there is also a copy of "Hunting the Abyss" behind "Crime and Punishment", and with its current situation, it is only a matter of time before it enters the top ten. ”

It's a bit stressful.

Shen Xin stretched his waist, I don't know what happened to the president, did he find a suitable author?

Just when Shen Xin thought of Song Tai, Song Tai was also busy with radio dramas.

Unhae has several companies that produce radio dramas, but Song Tae decided not to outsource the radio dramas of "Y's" in consideration of the particularity of this production, but to have them produced by a magazine.

For this reason, he deliberately went to Hongchuan, and wanted to invite one or two more famous authors to change the "Y's" comic book into a script suitable for radio dramas, and then enrich the content of "Y's", but he was disappointed.

He sought out several famous writers, but they were not interested in rewriting the radio drama of "Y's." On the one hand, the price given by Song Tae could not impress them, and on the other hand, the radio drama was perfecting the plot of "Y's", not their own work, and it was inevitable that there was some rejection in their hearts.

Song Tai visited several authors in a row, but all of them returned disappointed, and he lost interest.

The cost of radio dramas is limited, and if you give too much for the script, you may not be able to hire your favorite voice actors.

Subsequently, Song Tai had to communicate with Shen Xin, and after two or three exchanges, Shen Xin made concessions and changed from a well-known writer to a well-known light novelist.

When the conditions were lowered, Song Taike's range of choices was much larger, and he quickly found a few light novelists who were willing to cooperate.

After repeated screening, Song Tae finally settled on an author who is more famous in the light novel world. The other party liked the story of "Y's" very much, and the remuneration was only one-third of that of the famous writer, and he decided to give the script of the first volume within two weeks.

When the time comes, Song Tai will hand over the completed script to Shen Xin for review. If that's okay, start recording right away.

After finalizing the author of the novel, Song Tae set his sights on the voice actor again.

Compared with the author who wrote it, Song Tae believes that the voice actor has the greatest influence on radio dramas. The first thing the listener comes into contact with is not the plot, but the sound.

A high-level voice actor understands and shapes the character and is able to capture the hearts of the listeners. To this end, Song Tae began a large-scale selection of voice actors.

[Apology Statement]

Because of the assumption before the next, the rookie award appeared in a bug. If the work released between July of the previous year and June of the next year is eligible for the newcomer award, it will cause a bug, that is, the comics between December of the previous year and June of the following year, because the comics are not enough for 30 words, and they will lose their qualifications.

Therefore, the selection qualifications for the Newcomer Award are now revised.

(1) At least 30 words in the entry;

(2) The cartoonist is under the age of 30 and has never sold a single book of long-form comics before;

(3) The first volume of long-form comics will be published between the beginning of July of the previous year and the end of June of the following year;

(4) The publication time of the work in the first episode and the release date of the first volume of the single book shall not exceed half a year.

Chapter 17 Conditions and Pressures will be revised, and the content related to the Newcomer Award will be revised in the near future.

This was my mistake and apologies again.
