Since Shen Xin expressed his opinions and opinions, Xi Muhan, Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong began to step up their time and prepare to recreate the name.

The name submitted to the editorial department is usually three words, the first chapter is longer, generally around 40 pages, and the second and third words are slightly less, but Shen Xin said before that it may be serialized in a monthly magazine.

The length of the monthly manga is different from the weekly manga, so the plot design of each episode is also different.

Xi Muhan asked Shen Xin how to design the name, Shen Xin thought about it, and decided to create each word with 20 pages first, as for the reason, Shen Xin felt that the name of the two words and 20 pages could be combined into one word, and the structure would not change much, but the name of the 40 pages of a word was more difficult to split into two words, because the structure in the first word had already been designed, and dismantling it from it was equivalent to destroying the structure of the comics.

When drawing "Steel Forge", the pain of splitting into two is still vivid in Shen Xin's mind.

"By the way, Xiaohan, in fact, you don't need to draw a name, you can create a text script first." Shen Xin thought about it, and decided to let Xi Muhan change his strategy this time.

"Huh? Why? Xi Muhan was puzzled.

"SLAM DUNK is still serialized and it's a few months away, so it's easier to revise the script if you come up with a better idea. In addition, when you come up with a script, you can judge the structure of the story as a whole, and it will be easier to adjust it...... If you don't know how to write a script, then write it directly, this is your old business, it should be fine, right? ”

Xi Muhan's writing belongs to the very delicate kind, which is said to be written lightly, but there are also some ancient proverb styles.

However, over the years, Xi Muhan has been learning since he stepped into this industry, and he hasn't written for a long time, so he should be able to have a new style when he writes again.

"Okay." Xi Muhan thought twice and bowed his head seriously, "If it's a script, please ask Sister Yan and Brother Wang to do more work and change it to a script." ”

Shen Xin was slightly surprised when she heard Xi Muhan's words, she didn't expect that she would use the strength of Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong, and then thought that she should pay more attention to it this time than any time before, and she should really want to make "Mandao" achieve results.

"Another point, don't prolong it for the sake of prolonging the plot, any story has a boundary, and if you cross this line, then, the story will be very watery. There are still opportunities for cooperation in the future, so don't worry. ”

"yes, I see." Xi Muhan nodded heavily.

Due to the change to the script, the progress is much faster than the original name, however, this also puts a lot of requirements on Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong, both of whom are comic editors, and if they want to change it to a script, they still need to adapt for a while.

So, in Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei's office, two people can often be seen holding books and notebooks, changing articles, and Xi Muhan also wrote "Mandao" in their offices in order to ensure the quality of comics.

Just when everyone in Shen Xin's studio found something to do, something unexpected happened on the Internet - after the Cartoonists Association renegotiated with many magazines such as Yishu Culture, Duoman.com, and "Manga Fly", it was decided to revise the "Comic Festival".

This time, the Cartoonists Association took into account the second-tier comic platforms and studios, and for the first time separated the second-tier and first-tier platforms, and deliberately awarded awards to the second-tier platforms, for example, the best feature-length award with the highest prize money, with a prize of up to 500,000 yuan, and noted that this prize is only awarded to the author, not the comic platform or studio.

Then, various awards, such as the Short Story Award, the Girl Comic Award and many other awards, also range from 50,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan, which greatly aroused the interest of second-tier cartoonists.

As for the jackpot of the first-tier platform, it has also changed a bit. The top prize is still the best feature, with a whopping three million. However, this award is not held every year, considering the long creation cycle of long-form comics, this award is awarded every three years.

In addition, the previous voting model has also undergone some changes, based on the revenue of a single book/subscription, and in the case of a long-form manga award, it is based on the total income of three years, and the ten places are selected, and then the jury will select them.

In this way, the intervention of the human factor is eliminated.

Soon after this news was released, it set off a heated discussion on the Internet, because the prize money was too high, and the highest award was the same as the Golden Brush Award, and there was already gossip that Duoman was also interested in reducing the prize money of the Golden Brush Award, either this or the next one.

Once it comes true, the "Comics Festival" will become the most appealing comic award in China.

"The highest prize of the second-tier platform is only 500,000, is it too little, and the first prize of the first-tier platform is 3 million?"

"There are already a lot, there is no competition from the first-tier platform, the pressure on the second-tier platform has decreased sharply, and the comic magazines on the second-tier platform have a small gap in level, so it can be said that every work has a chance to be selected."

"You say, is this a discriminatory second-tier comic? The grand prize of 3 million, the second-tier platform is not qualified. ”

"According to you, the division of the football league into the Premier League and the First Division is also discrimination? After all, the Super League has more prize money than the First League? ”

"I heard that the prize money of each award, except for the cartoonists association, is the majority of the money from magazines and online platforms, otherwise, the prize money would not have soared to 3 million."

"But I want to take the three million...... Isn't that going to a first-line platform? ”

"You're really right, their purpose is really to let cartoonists from second-tier platforms go to first-tier platforms to serialize. People, there must always be a goal. ”

"Ok, I've decided, next stop is Comic Future!"

"I'm going to Doman.com!"

……

There was a lot of excitement on the Internet, but Shen Xin knew about it, but Shi Ping called him and told him about it, and mentioned two things.

The first thing is to ask him to serve as the honorary president of the "Comics Festival", and the second thing is to invite Shen Xin to participate in the kick-off meeting of the "Comics Festival" to be held at the end of June, which is equivalent to a press conference.

Shen Xin thought about it for a while, and then agreed, no matter which of these two things is, it is to expand the popularity of domestic comics, no matter from which point of view, he is duty-bound and duty-bound.

Not long ago, he mentioned the cultivation of newcomers to Yu Chen, but he didn't expect Yu Chen to take it seriously, and unite with other magazines and online platforms to rejuvenate the "Comics Festival", which Shen Xin did not expect, but in terms of effect, if everything goes well, it should also help the cultivation of newcomers.
