This is a conversation between two senior executives in the company, so everyone in the office is very curious about what kind of "collision" will be between the two people.

"Alright." Qian Sheng pulled these people's attention back, "Don't think about those who don't have it, start working!" ”

"Oh!"

The people in the studio responded one after another, bowed their heads and continued to work.

Tong Yu and Yuan Zhe came to the coffee house downstairs, which was a place for the company to rest, but it was working hours now, and no one came.

Two people sat down at a round table against the glass wall, and each ordered a cup of coffee.

"What's going on now? Why is Age of the Gods so much worse than Steelcast? Propaganda is not in place? Tong Yu asked.

This is what he cares about the most, after all, he spent a lot of money on "Age of the Gods", and, from the current point of view, "Age of the Gods" is indeed the façade of Duoman.com.

"Mr. Tong, the quality of a work is not directly related to publicity. If a book can't work, then, even if you promote it hard, you won't be able to get up after all. Yuan Zhe said.

"You mean Wang Yunze can't do it?" Tong Yu's brows furrowed.

"Of course Mr. Wang and Age of the Gods can. This can be known from the gap between it and the third place "Sky Wolf". Teacher Wang, the sword is not old. ”

"Then why did you lose to Steelcore?" Tong Yu was puzzled.

"Mr. Tong......" Yuan Zhe took a deep breath and looked at Tong Yu, "Is it really so difficult to admit a person?" Is there only one option, 'Age of the Gods is too bad'? Can't it be that "Steel" is too good? ”

“……”

Tong Yu's throat seemed to be suddenly stuck, and he hurriedly picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"The hottest comic in District 11 recently is "Steel", isn't it unexpected? The comic industry in District 11 is more complete than that of Huaxia, and the competition is not smaller than that of Huaxia. Doesn't it tell the story that so many readers can pay attention to "Steel"? ”

"What do you mean?" Tong Yu originally wanted to be angry at Yuan Zhe, but now don't talk about getting angry, it's cheap if he doesn't get scolded.

"I heard that the price you offered to Mr. Shen was 10,000 yuan per page?" Yuan Zhe suddenly laughed.

“……”

Tong Yu rolled his eyes, which pot was not opened.

"Do you think that's enough now?" Yuan Zhe asked.

"Mistakes...... Look away. Tong Yu stiffened his neck and said, "When you buy cultural relics, you have a time to look away, let alone people." ”

"Cultural relics are real and fake, but people don't, people only have value, or they are not worthy. What I want to say is that Mr. Shen knows his own value better, so he will not talk to you until the conditions you give him reach his bottom line. Yuan Zhe said angrily.

Tong Yu knocked on the table twice, "I'm not here to be angry." ”

"I know, but I also have to say what is in my heart." Yuan Zhe took a long breath and picked up the coffee cup.

When Shen Xin debuted, he knew that at that "Comics Festival", Shen Xin won Ye Hexu with an absolute advantage - at that time, Ye Hexu's work was "Hunting the Abyss", and until now, this work is still one of the signature comics of "Comic Future".

It's just that he didn't care about it at the time, causing Shen Xin to be poached by "Comic Future", and when "Chess Soul" was published, he knew it was too late.

Sure enough, after the end of "Chess Soul", Shen Xin drew another "Steel Refinement" that was more popular than "Chess Soul......

Wang Yunze relied on "The Legend of the Dragon King" to "become a god", which is true. But Shen Xin also completed "God Slaughter" with three comics, which is not an exaggeration.

"Now, even if you want to negotiate at a price of 30,000 yuan per page, I'm afraid you won't have a chance." Yuan Zhe shook his head.

Tong Yu grinned.

As long as he makes an offer, Comic Future will definitely follow the price unconditionally.

At present, the situation shown by "Steel Refining" is no longer as simple as "The Legend of the Dragon King".

It is even more popular than "The Legend of the Dragon King".

"What are you going to do now?"

"Wait."

"Huh?"

"With the current results of "Steel Forge", it is estimated that it will be popular for a long time. But between the platform and the cartoonist, there will be a contradiction. ”

"Contradiction?"

"That's right. As the largest comic magazine in China, Comic Future has a great desire to control cartoonists. In fact, most companies also have this mentality, they don't want to have factors out of their control, and Mr. Shen stands at the top of cartoonists, and he should not be willing to be subordinate, unless one party makes concessions. In short, it's good to wait slowly, and hope for a chance. ”

This is the best way Yuan Zhe can think of at the moment.

Tong Yu knocked on the table twice, called the waiter, and asked for a cup of black tea.

His throat now felt like a fly had entered it.

"If what you say is true, then aren't we also subject to Shen Zheng's restrictions?"

"We have two paths. First, find another Shen Zheng to prove that he is not the only one; Second, if you can't find it, is there a better way for you? Now is the Internet era, even if there is no platform, he only posts cartoons on Weibo, which is still influential. ”

Tong Yu thought about it, what Yuan Zhe said was really right.

The biggest problem for cartoonists to serialize on the Internet is funding, after all, paying salaries to assistants is also a lot of income, but Shen Xin is not short of funds.

But......

"Isn't the first point you mentioned the reason why we hold the 'Golden Brush' Award? As long as there is a 'Shen Zheng', we will not be afraid of him. ”

"When it comes to 'Golden Brushes,' I have two things to say."

"Huh?"

"First, I would like to suggest extending the award cycle so that we have more time to observe the commercial value of the work. For example, every two years or three years, as for the bonus, we can fix 10 million, instead of a vacancy. ”

Tong Yu nodded, he now thinks that it takes only 7 months to judge a work, and the time is indeed too short.

"There's a second point." Tong Yu reminded.

"The second point is that someone swiped the votes, and on the last day, there was a work that had at least 10,000 votes. Since it is not clear whether that work also swiped tickets before, it is impossible to determine its true results. ”

"Swipe tickets?" Tong Yu was stunned, he didn't expect that there would be a situation of swiping tickets.

"In the eyes of many people, if you are in the top 10, you have half the chance of winning a million-dollar jackpot, and this investment is certainly worth it." Yuan Zhe explained.

"This is the first 'Golden Brush', and if we are not resolute, it is likely to lead to a large number of ticket swiping plots in the future...... What do you think? ”

"I have contacted the technical department, and basically the evidence is relatively conclusive, and my opinion is that the work will be disqualified." Yuan Zhe said.

"Disqualified from the competition...... Moreover, his works were never accepted, and his author's backstage was sealed. Tong Yu frowned.

"His work is not bad, I think it is a good work."

"If it's just some painless punishment, isn't the 'Golden Brush' award a joke? We've really invested money in it, and we're going to make it the best comic award in China. If all the comics that have been swiped can be entered, is that fair to other cartoonists who have not swiped their tickets? Tong Yu asked.

Punish someone as a warning to others......

Yuan Zhe immediately understood Tong Yu's thoughts.
