Chapter 991 Request
Yu Chen, who was in the audience, was very happy when he heard Shen Xin's words.
IN FACT, HE ALSO KNEW IN HIS HEART THAT ALTHOUGH THE SALES OF "SLAM DUNK" WERE VERY HIGH, IT WOULD NOT BE EASY TO BREAK THROUGH 1.3 MILLION COPIES WITHOUT OTHER HELP.
The animation of "SLAM DUNK" has not yet started, let alone the promotion of "SLAM DUNK".
Unless, "SLAM DUNK" is particularly outstanding in this year's plot and makes a noise about the heat, this will be possible.
The animation is handled by Shonen Leap, and Comic Future has no other way but to publish a full-color version of SLAM DUNK.
From the current point of view, the full-color results of "DN" are basically at the top level, which also makes it possible for "SLAM DUNK" to publish full-color single books.
How not to make the full-color version not affect the release of the black and white version is also something that Comic Future has to consider.
After Shen Xin stepped down, he and Xi Muhan looked at each other and smiled.
In fact, he could have not said something like "small goals", but if there was no last sentence, then this speech would be too bland. If he can arouse the fighting spirit of some cartoonists and create some better comics, he is also happy to see it, after all, the bigger the "plate" of comics, the more he can get.
How to make the "plate" bigger?
Good work!
Moreover, it must be a lot of good works at the same time to make this market bigger.
After he said these words, some cartoonists were indeed a little unconvinced. It's not that I hate Shen Xin for ignoring them - in fact, when they look at some rankings, they automatically ignore "SLAM DUNK" - but the numbers that Shen Xin said.
1.3 million copies? Do you know what this concept is?
By the way, anyway, it's just a casual talk, who wouldn't do this?
Shen Xin didn't care about the thoughts of these cartoonists, but set his eyes on the stage again.
Shang Haozhi took the stage, mainly talking about "Comic Future" and the harvest of light reading in the past year.
In the magazine, the results of "SLAM DUNK" have always been very good, although the volume is not as high as "DN", but "SLAM DUNK" is a long-form manga, as long as the story does not collapse, the further it goes, the better the results.
In addition, things like "Magic Creation World", "Demon Dao", "No Demon in the World", "Idol Era", "Otherworldly Restaurant" are not bad, and the sales of single books of "Dad's Daily" are also surprisingly good.
Light reading is due to the serialization of high-quality works such as "The Gate of the Destiny Stone", "The Demon King's Tutor", "Heavenly Machine", etc., and finally from many webtoon platforms, highlighting the encirclement, similarly, the remade version of "DN" also has extremely high results, not only ranking in the top two on the click list, but also more than 100,000 subscriptions - the number of subscriptions does not seem to be much, but you must know that members can also read for free, which to a large extent, affects the average subscription of "DN".
It's only been these two years.,Light reading has been sitting on two and watching one.,But compared with Duoman.com,There's still a lot of way to go.。
After Shang Haozhi came down, Bao Jiyi made a brief summary, and the first half of the annual meeting was also over, and then, the annual meeting entered the dinner session.
The dinner is a buffet where the waiter fills the table with food and drinks, and the cartoonists or guests pick them up for themselves, so that they can move around freely at all times, and by the way, it is also convenient for the cartoonists to communicate with the guests.
Shen Xin put some fried noodles on the plate, and as soon as he ate two bites, someone came up to say hello.
"Teacher Shen, hello ......"
Shen Xin hurriedly put down the plate, bowed slightly, and looked at the person in front of him.
The man was about 60 years old, with gray hair, sunken eye sockets, and a relatively thin build.
Shen Xin didn't know this person, and he had never seen him.
"Hello."
Shen Xin replied and took the old man's business card, but found that the old man was the president of the Cartoonists Association, and his name was Shi Ping, so he had doubts in his heart.
He doesn't have much contact with the people in the Cartoonists Association, and the only intersection should be the "Comics Festival".
In fact, in addition to being responsible for the "Comics Festival", the Cartoonists Association does not have much to do with Shen Xin in other things.
For example, the registration of comic training institutions, the infringement of cartoonists, and the mediation of conflicts with the platform are all matters of the "Cartoonists Association".
It's just that Shen Xin has solved it by himself many times, and if even he can't solve the problem, the effect of bringing in the "Cartoonists Association" is not too great, so Shen Xin didn't have much communication with them.
"Before, Mr. Qiu Gongyu took good care of me, and I never had the opportunity to express my gratitude, but I didn't expect to meet the teachers of the 'Cartoonists Association' here." Shen Xin said.
"Mr. Qiu has retired. Our group of old guys also want to use their meager efforts to help Huaxia's comic industry. Shi Ping said with a smile.
Already retired......
Shen Xin was stunned.
However, if you think about it, it should be about the same. At that time, when Qiu Gongyu presented Shen Xin with the "Best Newcomer Award", he was already in his sixties, and it is normal to retire now.
Time flies, so much time has passed......
"I see. I don't know what you're looking for me? Shen Xin wondered.
"Actually......" Shi Ping's face was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it again, he still said what he meant, "Actually, there is one thing that may trouble Teacher Shen." ”
"Is there anything I need to do?" Shen Xin was puzzled.
"I'll make a long story short, right? In fact, we have been working on regulating 'manga training institutions', after all, the level of such institutions is uneven, and sometimes, young people who aspire to become manga artists are deceived by some institutions for various reasons. Perhaps, it may be delayed for a lifetime. ”
Shen Xin bowed, if it is really as Shi Ping said, there is indeed a need for the "Cartoonists Association" to exist.
"Now, we have a problem. In the past, the textbooks used by major training institutions were the textbooks of the 11th district, but as you know, the publishing model of the 11th district is different from that of Huaxia, such as reading habits. Moreover, the comics used in those textbooks are also works from 20 years ago, and the style of painting is very different from today. Therefore, some members of the 'Cartoonists Association' have an idea - to prepare a set of teaching materials suitable for China......"
I see.
Shen Xin nodded, but he still didn't know Shi Ping's intention.
However, comic textbooks must have examples, and the level of domestic cartoonists is different, and some works are not suitable for citation in textbooks. So......" Shi Ping crossed his fingers, but his eyes were staring at Shen Xin, "Our editorial board has flipped through hundreds of sets of comics, and finally chose one set of your comics, so I hope to be authorized." ”
"Which set?" Shen Xin wondered.
"Steel." Shi Ping said the name of the work, "Of course, we will also pay the relevant licensing fees, but the copyright of "Steel Forge" is too big, so I want to ask you if you can authorize us to disassemble some of the scenes of "Steel Forged" and the dismantling of the script." ”
