Chapter 457 Websites and Magazines

"Have you seen the 'cartoonist benefits' of Duoman.com?" Hook said, turning his head.

"See, why is it called 'welfare'? Isn't this what the author deserves? Zhou Xiaoming was puzzled.

"Look down and you'll see." Wang Wenhong explained, while clicking on the page of "Cartoonist Benefits":

"For all works that rank in the top 50 of the popular list of Chinese comics, the website will have a single-page manuscript fee ranging from 500 yuan to 20,000 yuan, and the author will no longer have any additional income (excluding rewards) in addition to the manuscript fee.

"Generally, contracted works can have a living allowance of 80 to 3,000 yuan per page according to the quality, plus monthly income.

"For all tips, the author gets 50% of the amount, and the website gets 50%.

"Contracts are signed on the basis of the work, not on the basis of the number of years. In addition, there is no limit to the length of the general signed works, and they will not be cut in half, so please rest assured. However, if the negative rating is less than 50%, the living allowance will be cancelled.

"Non-contracted works can receive 50% of the reward amount, and 500 yuan will be issued. The top five works on the click list of non-contracted works can be submitted for editing and signed a contract ......"

The treatment is written on the welfare page, which is very exciting.

When everyone saw this page, they couldn't help but move their eyes to "3000".

When Zhou Xiaoming saw this line, his face changed suddenly, "3,000 yuan for a single page!" It's a big deal, and there is a monthly subscription to get, and the copyright is also shared. ”

"What's the big deal?" Wang Wenhong glanced at Zhou Xiaoming, "Think about it carefully, is this '3,000 yuan' really easy to get?" Mr. Shen and Mr. Wang's manuscript fees are not so high, and their main income still depends on single books. So 3,000 yuan is a decoration, that is, the upper limit. The website should rarely publish a single book, so the income of these authors is mainly in monthly subscription and living allowance. ”

"But this living allowance is also very embarrassing, just hiring an assistant, almost 10,000 yuan a month. Looking at it this way, 80 yuan per page is really a drop in the bucket. It is very likely that after a month of drawing, you will lose a lot of money. However, the website does not require that you have to draw 4 words in a month, so it is difficult to live with this money...... But if you don't find an assistant, two shifts a month, barely enough. Yan Fei also expressed her opinion.

"However, this method is also quite novel for cartoonists, and it is easy to fool people when it comes together with a mess of projects." Jia Hui shook his head, and he was a little uneasy in his heart.

In this regulation, the biggest variable is probably still in the "monthly subscription". Therefore, how it will operate in the future still depends on how profitable the website is.

"Are you too worried? Even if Duoman can attract readers, they have a big weakness - content. Their comics are full, only about 100 copies, and even if there is a three-month free period, if there is no new content, readers will still choose to leave. Jian Xiaomei speculated.

"Those seven free comics, now they are basically three words, not one, and, maybe Feng Shuo will have action after that?" Wang Wenhong reminded.

After his reminder, others realized that not every comic has only one word.

Of the seven free comics, there are only two comics that are not three-word comics, one is "Holy Martial Academy" and the other is "Sky Wolf".

"Holy Martial Arts Academy" on the first day of the station,Five words in one breath.,So far,The click-through rate of this comic is extremely high.,Almost double the click-through rate of the second place "Sky Wolf", but "Sky Wolf" only changed two words.

"This comic called "Holy Martial Academy",Is it really so good?" Xu Jiehu said suspiciously.

"I'm afraid,In addition to the quality of the Holy Martial Academy,It's also related to the quantity, right? On the first day, I updated almost the length of a single book, and readers should like such a cartoonist. Wang Wenhong explained.

"Five words a day...... It's really hard for the average person to do that. Jia Hui shook his head, clicked on the "Holy Martial Academy", and looked at it, but a registration dialog box popped up, "I'm really convinced!" I don't sign up! ”

Jia Hui was angry, and closed the page of "Holy Martial Academy" angrily.

Shang Haozhi touched his beard, looked at the screen with cold eyes, and after about five or six seconds, he suddenly said, "Register!" All editors, all registered! Next year, when the station officially opens, everyone will open a monthly subscription for me! ”

"Why?" Jia Hui was surprised, "Duomanwang is our enemy!" ”

Enemies, not opponents, only you live and die!

Duoman poached Wang Yunze, and the grievances between Jia Hui and Duoman became bigger.

"Now, Duoman.com's involvement in the comic industry is a storm for the entire industry. Comic Future, the largest comic magazine in the country, was the most affected, but let's not forget that we are also the most resilient to the risks. We don't just have Mr. Wang as a trump card in our hands, we have more opportunities and time than other magazines. So, we're going to use our strengths and try to get to know our opponents during this time. Otherwise, how can you win too man?

"Taking a step back, if we can't win Duoman, then we're going to have to transform. Duomanwang is in the front, and our follow-up work will be better - if we really face transformation, we must do whatever it takes! ”

Jia Hui grinned and clenched his fists, but I have to say that Shang Haozhi's statement this time was not wrong.

In fact, regardless of the success of Duoman.com, the comic industry is destined to change after this impact. If Comic Future wants to maintain its current advantage, it must understand the Internet.

"That, Mr. Shang ......," Wang Wenhong raised his hand and said.

"Huh?"

"We have more than 50 magazines in stock." Wang Wenhong reminded.

"Inventory?"

The other editors were stunned for a moment, and then immediately remembered that the inventory Wang Wenhong was talking about was the finished comic of "Comic Future" over the years.

"That's right. Although the model of multiman is very new, its 'content' is definitely a big problem...... Without a library, even if it is eye-catching at first, I am afraid it will not last. Shang Haozhi nodded.

"But if all of them are made into electronic versions, the sales of single books are another problem...... Bookstores and printing houses can be affected in an unpredictable way. Zeng Yue, who had not spoken, reminded again.

Magazines cooperate with printing houses and bookstores.

Whether to give up the partner or continue to cooperate is not a decision that can be made by patting the head casually, and the pros and cons must be weighed.

Shang Haozhi rubbed his forehead, which really stumped him again.

"Let's wait and see for the time being, there will be some time at the end of the year. Our priority during this period should be to maintain the sales of the magazine. Yan Fei said.

"Hmm. The original manuscript of Mr. Shen's next episode, as well as the ...... of "Game" There are other teachers' works, all calibrated, right? Shang Haozhi asked Zeng Yue.

"I guess the first batch of magazines has already been printed." Zeng Yue reminded.

"Hmm...... Let's take a look at the outcome of our first meeting with Domust.com. Shang Haozhi took a deep breath and said softly.
