Chapter 926: Propaganda
Yan Fei helped Asai Hui find a language class and let her study in the class.
It is very difficult to learn a language in half a year, let alone Huaxia, but Shen Xin also gave her plenty of time while paying her salary.
Liu Ruoxing is also a warm-hearted person, she usually likes to laugh and laugh, and when she learned that Asai Hui was going to live in a suite with her, she was supported by both hands - she lived alone in a three-bedroom apartment, and she was indeed very lonely.
Therefore, if there is one more person to live, Liu Ruoxing is no problem at all.
In the studio, since Asai Hui only works three hours a day, she is mostly responsible for some finishing work, but it also saves the time of Liu Ruoxing and others.
After the manuscript of the first episode of "DN" came out, Liu Ruoxing forwarded it to Wang Wenhong. Some details were modified, and Wang Wenhong transferred the color page to Shen Xin.
After repeated checks and confirmation, the manuscript was sent to Zeng Yue's mailbox.
If there is anyone who is the happiest in the Chinese comic circle during this period of time, this person is undoubtedly Zeng Yue.
"Demon Tutor" and "The Gate of the Destiny Stone" are being serialized, which has brought a lot of popularity to Light Reading, and at the same time, the remake of "DN" has come one after another, attracting some of Shen Xin's readers to "DN", especially, "DN" can be paid in a single word, and it also gives some readers who have never been exposed to Light Reading the opportunity to have the first "contact".
What's more, the first episode of Han Ye's new work "Heavenly Machine" has been completed, and "Daily Life in a Small World", which is the original work by Xi Feng, also has good results.
In just a few months, light reading has become the focus of attention of many comic friends from an online platform that few famous cartoonists are interested in, and the degree of competition is no less than that of "Comic Future".
Happiness is happiness, Zeng Yue also clearly felt the pressure.
With four trump cards in hand, if there are no results, he can also say "bye-bye" to the editor-in-chief.
To this end, Zeng Yue has planned the promotion of "DN" and "Tianji", the app launch page first posted pictures related to the two works, "Comic Future" also has related publicity, and some forums related to comics and animation have also placed advertisements in eye-catching positions.
On the day of the serialization of the first episode of "DN", the light reading app crashed for a while, but thanks to the programmer's preparation, the app was able to return to normal in a short period of time.
In the Manjia.com forum, "DN" has also become the focus of readers' discussions, and some people who like color comics have poured into the "Comic Future" section to discuss the comic "DN".
"There are still such wonderful comics? It's just ...... The protagonist is so powerful in the first episode, how can the plot be advanced later? ”
"Friendly reminder, the protagonist Moon is a villain in this comic, and the real protagonist is the number one detective, L."
"Don't be a spoiler party! Be sure to subscribe if you like it! ”
"Of course, I really like this quality of coloring pages."
"After "Basketball Sky" came out, the quality of the color pages of "Demon King Tutor" has also improved a lot, and now that "DN" has been added, I estimate that there will be more high-quality color page serialization in the future. Compared to before, what are the color pages I read? ”
Some people are looking forward to the future of coloring pages, but others are complaining.
"What do you know, like "Basketball Sky", "Demon King Tutor" and "DN", such color pages are very expensive, and ordinary small studios can't pay for them at all. You don't want to, if no one paints, where do you read the color page? Later, you are familiar with this quality of color pages, and when you look at other color pages, you will not be interested at all. It's called 'boiled frogs in warm water', and by that time, you'll have nothing to watch. ”
""Basketball Sky" has raised the difficulty of color pages, and if it continues like this, many assistants who have just entered the industry will lose their jobs again."
Statements like this appear on the forums.
For a while, the debate on the Internet about the "quality of color comics" became hot, but it only lasted for a day or two, and it was suppressed by most of the angry readers.
"I don't look for problems from myself, but blame the high-quality color pages. Didn't the people who colored these three comics also come from newcomers? Besides, we're not blind, as long as the quality of the comics is good enough, are we still afraid that we won't pay for it? ”
When the popularity of this topic declined, Wang Wenhong also posted a Weibo: "In order to remake "DN", Mr. Shen deliberately divided the assistant into two parts, and the pressure on the studio was twice as great as before. But in the end, it was decided to remake this comic, this is to give back to the old readers of "DN", otherwise, Mr. Shen could have raised the price. Peers have time to discuss, it is better to work on improving the level. Standing on the tuyere, many things can fly, and everyone has to think about what happens after the wind stops. ”
Soon after the release of this Weibo, it became a hot topic on Weibo again, and more readers are not concerned about the "color comic quality" dispute, but about what kind of results "DN" has achieved, and Shen Xin's new work will have color pages.
"I'm not sure yet, but this matter has to be negotiated with the magazine."
Wang Wenhong didn't reveal much either.
In Shen Xin's author's background, the number of subscriptions to comics continues to increase.
Initially, considering that some readers were members of Light Reading, Wang Wenhong's weekly subscription for the first episode was 200,000 copies, but as a result, this data was broken the next day, and the final subscription in a single week reached 400,000 copies.
"Aren't there so many readers who aren't members of Light Reading?" Wang Wenhong was a little surprised when he looked at this data.
"Not necessarily." Shen Xin shook his head, "Some readers should have members, but they still chose to subscribe." ”
"Huh?" Xi Muhan, who was typing, heard the conversation between the two and turned his head in surprise.
"In order to support cartoonists, a lot of readers will do this. Just like some readers will buy multiple single books in order to support their favorite authors. Shen Xin leaned back in the chair and rubbed his neck, "So, for the sake of these lovely readers, we must work harder." ”
Shen Xin glanced at the calendar on the table, May 20th, 10 days before the official serialization of "SLAM DUNK".
It's impossible to say that you are not nervous.
Even though he already knew how terrible the results of SLAM DUNK were, he was still nervous.
COMPARED TO THE PUBLICITY OF "SLAM DUNK", THE PUBLICITY OF "DN" IS TOO LOW-KEY.
The 21st issue of "Comic Future" added a poster of "Basketball Sky", and cover ads were also placed on video sites such as POPOT, as well as on the storefronts of major bookstores in Hongchuan and the LCD screens of major supermarkets. Even on TV, "Comic Future" has made a lot of money.
At the same time, the 11th district has also done enough publicity, and advertisements have been placed on the LCD screens of subways, taxis, and major centers more than once, always reminding comic readers that "SLAM DUNK" is coming.
