"It's really a problem, and we've talked about it on the way here." Wang Wenhong sighed.

"Huh?"

"In fact, not only the single book, but also the sales of the magazine."

"Really?" Shen Xin was stunned.

"Well, in the last two weeks, the magazine sold about 4.9 million copies. "Hunting Abyss" was coming to an end, and many people bought the magazine for the sake of feelings, but last week, the magazine's sales suddenly dropped by 400,000 copies. The editorial department thought it was a fluctuation in sales, but I didn't expect that the sales of the single book released during the same period also declined. This is very fatal, otherwise, Mr. Shang would not be in a hurry to let you come out to sign and sell books to gain popularity. Wang Wenhong looked worried.

The new manga of "King of Rock and Roll" has plummeted from 600,000 copies at the peak of sales in a single week to 140,000 copies, a drop of as much as 3/4, and if 3/4 of the 2.3 million copies of "Steel" remain, even "Comic Future" will feel the pressure.

"Could it be the D version?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"The first thing that came to our mind was the D version, but the D version did not exist now, whether it was domestic or foreign, the D version was very early...... No, it should be said that it appeared almost at the same time as the original, right? In every forum, or in the penguin colony, there must have been a D version, and the stickers and stuff weren't new, and at the time, the sales of monographs and magazines weren't very significant. So, we've ruled that out factor. We've been to those forums too, and they're not very popular. Yan Fei explained.

"It's different." Shen Xin shook his head, "The present is different from the past. ”

"What's different?" Wang Wenhong was puzzled.

"The past...... There is no multi-mangling network. Shen Xin smiled bitterly.

"Huh? No matter what you say, you won't do anything illegal, right? "It's hard for Yan Fei to imagine the work of the D version of "Comic Future" on the multi-comic network.

Wang Wenhong pondered for a moment, and an idea quickly flashed through his mind.

"I got it......"

"Know what? Don't sell it! Yan Fei said impatiently.

"What Mr. Shen said is not that Duoman D uses our comics, but that the emergence of Duoman makes some people realize that they can create a D version of the comic website. This website also contains works from Comic Future, Manga Fly, Feiyang, Manga Weekly, and even Comics...... And, probably all for free. Wang Wenhong said in a deep voice.

"This ...... How can this be? Xi Muhan was surprised.

If Wang Wenhong says it, who will buy magazines and single books in the future?

"Now that I'm talking about all this, it's all speculation, and it's the key to find these websites quickly, right?" Shen Xin reminded.

"Yes."

"Xiaohan, I'll use your notebook." Yan Fei turned her head to look at Xi Muhan.

"Hmm." Xi Muhan nodded hurriedly.

"Brother Wang, there are spare desktop computers below......" Shen Xin pointed downstairs.

"Got it." Wang Wenhong immediately got up and walked downstairs.

"Xiaohan, Mr. Shen, don't take this matter to heart, creation is important."

"But...... The second volume of "Ding Shi" will be released soon. Xi Muhan fidgeted.

"Don't worry, there's a magazine! If it is really the reason for the D version, the magazine must solve this matter before the release of "Ding Shi". Yan Fei assured.

Hearing this, Xi Muhan felt much more relieved.

"The magazine is preparing to publish "The Journey of Two People", are you preparing for this?"

"Sister Yan, I wrote "The Journey of Two People" first, and then changed the script, so I only need to revise it." Xi Muhan explained.

"Well, the revision is done, you have to give it to me quickly, and I will hand it over to the light editorial department for them to proofread."

"The Journey of Two People" is to make a fortune by taking advantage of the popularity of comics, so the requirements for quality are not as high as those of magazines.

To put it more bluntly, it must be made before the end of "The Journey of Two People".

It is not difficult to guess the reason why the magazine did this - to take advantage of this popularity to make money.

When Yan Fei took the notebook and came downstairs, Xi Muhan came to Shen Xin's side.

"Brother Xin, what do you think about this matter......"

"Huh? D version? ”

"Hmm. I'm a little worried...... "Xi Muhan was uneasy.

"Ding Shi" has just taken off, and the sales of the first volume are not bad, but before the second volume is released, this kind of thing has been encountered, and Xi Muhan's inner hesitation and entanglement can be imagined.

"Don't worry, the D version can't kill us." Shen Xin explained.

"That's good." Xi Muhan let out a sigh of relief.

Shen Xin has more experience than her, and sometimes ...... No, she has always relied on Shen Xin.

"But...... We also 'kill' the D version of the can't die. Shen Xin rubbed his face, "Moreover, since the D version has been released from the small box of the Internet, I am afraid it will be difficult to go back in the future." ”

This statement is not alarmist.

Even "Jump" in Earth 11 was plagued by the D version of the website, and they tried, but it was difficult to have an immediate effect.

Previously, the D version was only disseminated by paper media, and the scope was limited, but after entering the Internet era, the communication methods of the D version have been enriched.

In particular, Duoman spent money last year and the year before that, causing the traffic of the website to rise. Although on the popularity list, "Steel" has been pressing "Age of the Gods" and other comics, but the app of Duoman.com has really made a lot of money, even if the bonus of the "Golden Brush" award is deducted, there should be a surplus.

In the past two years, the biggest impact on the comic industry has not so much been the threat to print magazines, but the emergence of the comic, which has changed readers' reading habits and made readers accept online and mobile reading, which they have always read from books before.

"Since we have accepted the benefits of the Internet, we must accept the disadvantages it brings, which is equivalent exchange." Shen Xin added.

"So what do we do?" Xi Muhan cried with a sad face.

"Our role is very weak, mainly depending on how the magazine and other platforms operate. What we have to do is to live. Don't worry, didn't you listen to what Brother Wang and Sister Yan said just now? This time, it is not just one or a few cartoonists who are affected, but many people, and there will always be a way. Shen Xin comforted.

When Xi Muhan heard Shen Xin's words, he stomped his feet, rushed downstairs, and came to Yan Fei's side.

Gao Hang and the others raised their heads and looked at Xi Muhan, who looked anxious, with a confused expression.

Shen Xin glanced at Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei, who were busy downstairs, and sighed.

I hope that it is better not to be taken seriously by myself, otherwise, no one in the entire industry can be left alone.

Shen Xin picked up the pen, and just drew a single page on the pen screen, he heard Wang Wenhong's voice downstairs, "Found it!" ”

"I found it too!" Yan Fei also let out a shout almost at the same time.

Everyone in the studio turned their eyes to the two of them.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
