Chapter 889: Platform and Choice
After Lu Yingxue posted on Weibo, some netizens are also speculating about the cartoonist who served as the chief writer of "The Gate of Destiny Stone".
Magi soon announced that Lu Ning would participate in the compilation and drawing of the "Gate of Destiny Stone" comic as a painting, and netizens also discussed the news.
Some readers regret that they can't see the cooperation between Lu Yingxue and "The Gate of the Destiny Stone", but Lu Ning's strength is also good, and after such a long time of adaptation, readers are also used to Lu Ning's style.
The only uncertainty is where the manga will be serialized.
Within two days, the news that came from the light reading will be written by Lu Yingxue to recreate the popular comic "Demon Tutor" serialized in District 11. At the same time, they also announced that they would try their best to reach an agreement with Lu Ning's serialization platform.
At this moment, the readers who read it lightly boiled instantly.
The comics of "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny", as well as the two comics of "The Demon King's Tutor", are serialized in Qingyue, and their strength has increased greatly, and Qingyue also has the opportunity to challenge Duoman.com.
Of course, it is unlikely that you want to overtake the multi-mandy network in an instant, but at least, there is already a trend.
In addition, with the help of the Light Reading App, it was announced that a single book of "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" will be published, and Snow will be the artist, and all the illustrations will be newly designed.
This message is equally appealing to readers of The Gate of the Stone of Destiny.
Another and snow have joined forces, and the quality of the single book of "Gate of Destiny Stone" can be expected.
……
Now there are two choices in front of Lu Ning, either go to Duoman.com or read lightly.
The editors-in-chief of the two platforms, Qian Sheng and Zeng Yue talked to him twice, and also visited Shen Xin, but they didn't stay too long, and after saying a few words, they also expressed their desire for Shen Xin's new work, but Shen Xin refused.
Not long after sending off the two editors-in-chief, Lu Ning came upstairs.
"Sister Lu, is there anything bothering?" Xi Muhan opened the door and saw Lu Ning's depressed expression and some concern.
Lu Ning sighed, glanced at Shen Xin, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and said, "How to choose between Duoman.com and Qingyue, I'm a little confused. Teacher, what do you think I should choose? ”
"What are the conditions for the two platforms?"
"A lot of resources will be provided, such as publicity, the production of single books, of course, in terms of manuscript fees, light reading will give more, and some guarantees have been made, and the comics of "The Gate of Destiny Stone" will be operated as signature comics." Lu Ning said tangledly.
"Restricting the freedom of cartoonists?"
"Not really. I only signed a work agreement with them. ”
"That's right." Shen Xin nodded slightly, "Remember one thing, as a cartoonist, you must try your best to fight for your rights." Also, there are some conditions that you can't see at a glance. It's like reading lightly, he needs a signature comic, once a popular comic appears, it will definitely be pushed to death, and then the resources will continue to come over, which is the most powerful. ”
"But it is said on the Internet that the comics promoted by the light reading are not only "The Gate of the Destiny Stone", but also another one, which seems to be called "The Demon King's Tutor", so in the allocation of resources, there should be a trade-off between light reading." Lu Ning was worried.
"That's competition. It's really stressful to have a high-level opponent, but if you can win, you can gain a lot. Sometimes, the results of a work depend not only on yourself, but also on the strength of your opponents. Shen Xin comforted.
"Yes...... I heard that "Demon King's Tutor" is also very powerful, and it has a lot of popularity in District 11. Yan Fei had palpitations.
"That's what you say? About this manga, I asked Haruka Tamagawa-sensei. "The Demon King's Tutor" was published in a comic forum in District 11, and it has a certain popularity in the forum, but it is not as mysterious as what Zeng Yue said. After all, the cartoonist named Shi Qun wants to take advantage of his popularity in District 11 and gain a foothold in the domestic comic circle. ”
"The selling point?"
"That's right. Shi Qun serialized comics on the forum of District 11 and had some fans in District 11, and then, when he returned to Huaxia, he would definitely be sought after by the platform. The only surprise is that "The Demon King's Tutor" ended after only 120 chapters. ”
When the Internet linked the light reading with "The Demon King's Tutor", Shen Xin called and asked Tamagawa Haruka, who was far away in District 11, and Tamagawa Haruka's answer was very direct, he had been busy with his comics and had never heard of it. Later, he said that he learned from his assistant that "Demon King Tutor" should be serialized on a platform in District 11.
"The second-tier level of District 11, if you find a painter, it should be serialized in a good magazine, of course, now that this comic is remade in Huaxia, it may be more competitive." Haruka Tamagawa gave her own evaluation.
After that, Shen Xin also saw the comic of "The Demon King's Tutor" on the Internet.
Shi Qun's painting style is not outstanding, and the initial storyboard is not very good, which is better than more than half of the cartoonists in China, but the more you go to the back, the better the storyboard of "The Demon King's Tutor", and you can clearly see the improvement of Shi Qun's strength.
As for the story, it belongs to a relatively light-hearted comic. The story is about the king of the demon world because of his advanced age, and he found a female demon he trusted to be the next demon king. When he was about to hand over the ring symbolizing the demon king to the female demon, the demon king noticed that the ring had fallen into the world.
So, the female demon came to the world and found the protagonist who picked up the ring, and because the protagonist's strength was too weak, he couldn't take off the ring, and the door of the demon world was closed due to many coincidences, and if she wanted to open it again, she had to wait until a year later.
The protagonist provides a shelter for the female demon, who is also tasked with training the protagonist.
Of course, there are many logical inconsistencies here, for example, why doesn't the female demon kill the protagonist directly, after all, the effect is direct. But if everything is logical, there won't be so many interesting stories.
Because "The Demon King's Tutor" is a funny comic, the difficulty of creating is more difficult than that of hot-blooded comics. The reason is that hot-blooded comics have a main line, and creators can rely on the main line to attract readers. But in funny comics, every story is relatively complete, and the creator must ensure that every word has a laugh in order to be recognized by readers.
Although the length of "The Demon King's Tutor" is short, the completeness of the story is very high, without the slightest delay, therefore, this comic cannot become a first-line work in District 11, but it has indeed been sought after by some readers, and then attracted a large number of fans in China.
"What then?" Lu Ning said uneasily.
"Just beat it." Lu Ning bared his teeth and smiled, "It's a bit cruel to say, if you want your works to be accepted by more people, you can only work hard." Isn't there Sister Yan to help you? Besides, the senior sister can also help, no problem. ”
When Lu Ning heard this, the momentum in her heart finally relaxed.
"Teacher, I'll think about it again...... By the way, multi-manga and light reading, how do you choose? ”
"How to choose?" Shen Xin held the teacup and took a sip, "Don't choose." ”
"Why? Duoman has cooperated with the teacher, so it should give a reasonable price, right? ”
"The price they give is very high. 15,000 yuan per page, a single book will be published, and all the copyright belongs to me, they only need electronic copyright. Shen Xin said.
Lu Ning grinned, startled.
It's not that there are 20,000 originals on a single page, such as "Age of the Gods", but as long as the electronic copyright is used, Duoman.com gives a sky-high price of 15,000 per page, and there is indeed only this one.
In fact, if she thinks about it carefully, she thinks the price is very reasonable. Like "Y's", when it was serialized, each episode had about 800,000 subscriptions, and the income brought by Shen Xin's new work would not be lower than that of "Y's".
"That'...... Teacher, why didn't you say yes? Lu Ning was puzzled.
"Did I tell you? What is the difference between webcomics and paper comics? Shen Xin asked rhetorically.
"Difference...... You mean spreads? Lu Ning suddenly realized.
Shen Xin nodded.
SPREADS ARE ESSENTIAL TO DEPICT THE FIERCE CONFRONTATION OF BASKETBALL, AND IN FACT SLAM DUNK DOES HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF SPREADS, EVEN MORE THAN ALL THE SPREADS HE HAS DRAWN BEFORE.
If you put SLAM DUNK on the Internet and watch basketball comics on a palm-sized screen, it's hard to feel the impact of spreads.
Shen Xin's first choice must be a magazine.
