Chapter 584 - A Different Style of App
"That's probably the case......"
Wang Wenhong sat opposite Shen Xin and told Shen Xin the final result of the Lunar New Year Cup.
Zuo Yuan's long story will be serialized on "Comic Future", and "Reversal of Life" will be accepted by the app.
"Another author agrees to serialize it on the app?" Shen Xin wondered.
"Of course I didn't want to at first, after all, "Comic Future" is the best-selling magazine in China, and it is easier to appear in everyone's field of vision. But the app is a new product of Yishu culture,In the future, it will have to confront the multi-man app,So,There must be a certain tilt in resources,At the same time,The app will also be equipped with the author in charge of editing,In the production of animation,And the resources of a single book,There will be a tiltγ β
"So, the works serialized on the app also need to be followed up by editors?" Shen Xin said curiously.
"For the time being. Although it is a good idea to let readers sift through the works, just like the multiman.com. However, after all, there is still "Comic Future", and the focus of Yishu culture is still on single books and magazines. Wang Wenhong explained.
Shen Xin nodded.
Hearing Wang Wenhong explain this, he understood the roughly.
To put it simply, "Comic Future" and Duoman take two completely different paths.
Multi-comics are similar to online texts, where all the works are placed on the Internet for readers to choose.
The advantage of this is that the threshold for serialization is low, the author uploads it by himself, and as long as the author's funds are sufficient, even if he can't make money, he can continue to serialize.
The disadvantage is that the threshold for serialization has been greatly reduced, resulting in uneven quality of serialized works. If you do not classify the work, it may have an impact on the image of the website.
The "CF" app obviously wants to be a high-quality comic app, and, relying on the strong library of "Comic Future", the app will not lack content, and if another twenty or thirty high-quality comics are launched, the app will also attract attention. The disadvantage is that the threshold is too high, which may be higher than that of some second-rate magazines, which may discourage some authors.
From the current point of view, it is difficult to say that two quality apps are better, one is to return the power to the author, let them create their own and use the story to attract readers, and the other is to strictly control and select high-quality works.
One app, one style.
Huaxia's comic industry is so large that it can accommodate so many different types of apps.
Just like the Internet, some websites are good at two-dimensional, some websites are good at urban or fantasy, some websites specialize in wireless literature, and some websites focus on IP.
But no matter what type of website, it has its own fans and supporters, and small platforms can survive in the gaps between big platforms.
This is the age of the Internet.
"By the way, the sales volume of "Steel Refining" in December last year was also counted, 2.02 million. In two months, more than 4 million copies were sold, and I don't think it would take a year, but in another three or four months, it would almost exceed 10 million copies. Wang Wenhong remembered the sales of a single book.
"How can it be so fast?" Shen Xin waved his hand, "More than half of the first season of the animation...... After that, it will be the original plot of 9 episodes, and no one can say how sales will change at that time. β
"Yes." Wang Wenhong nodded.
After all, it is an original plot, although Shen Xin also made a lot of suggestions in the creation, and in terms of setting, it is in line with the follow-up plot of "Steel Forge", and at the same time, the script has also been recognized by Zhuang Si Yuye, but it is still difficult to guarantee that the finished product can be recognized by readers.
"Fortunately, the plot of "Steel" has started to rise recently, and the feedback from readers has been enthusiastic." Wang Wenhong said with a smile, "Especially the new character, the cyborg Sloth, who keeps digging tunnels, was splashed with a layer of mixed fuel and thrown into the snow after he appeared on the stage. Many readers were curious about this new character, as if he hadn't appeared much before. β
"Sloth is 'lazy', and he's the last android to appear."
"Huh? Now there are only six of them, right? If it is ranked according to the 'seven original sins', there should be one short. β
"Huh? The one has come out, but his identity hasn't been revealed yet. Shen Xin touched his nose and smiled.
"Already out?" Wang Wenhong's nose wrinkled, thinking about the role related to "Father", but he didn't think of who such a character was, and finally had to scratch his head, feeling depressed in his heart.
Thinking that he must know before the reader, I am a lot happier in my heart.
"Xiaohan doesn't seem to be here......"
"She's downstairs, this week, isn't "Ding Shi" going to sell a single book? Is she communicating with Sister Yan? Shen Xin explained.
"Also, many people are nervous about the sales of single books...... I have to say that Mr. Shen is the most calm cartoonist I have ever met. β
Shen Xin has a black line, how can he not be nervous?
The release of a single book, just like being on the shelves, especially the first volume, determines the starting point of the comics, how can you not be nervous, but the problem is, it is useless to be nervous.
Of course, the most critical point is that even if "Steel" does not sell well, he can still finish a comic without worrying about food and clothing.
For him, that's all that matters.
But for Xi Muhan, it is not so simple.
Even though she has released a single book before, this time is obviously different, she has to face a new field, and she needs to prove herself with her results, I hope she doesn't get too nervous.
β¦β¦
"The first volume of "Ding Shi" has a first printing of 200,000 copies, so you don't have too much pressure." After Yan Fei put away the original manuscript, she comforted the two of them.
Xi Muhan, who was typing, also stopped tapping on the keyboard when he heard Yan Fei's words, and said suspiciously: "The first edition of 200,000 copies...... Issue...... Not big, right? β
"Very problematic." Lu Ning, who was painting at the desk, heard Xi Muhan's words, and immediately shook his head and explained, "A comic that can sell 50,000 copies is already a good work, and a comic that sells 100,000 copies is considered a popular comic." It's not easy to give a first edition of 20 books to the first edition of a gourmet one. If we don't get a good result, there won't be a first edition of 200,000 copies. β
"Yes...... Is it? I see that the sales of Brother Xin's new books are hundreds of thousands of copies in a single week, and I thought everyone was like this. β
"Please, isn't it natural for the teacher's work to sell so high? No matter what he says, it is also the benchmark of domestic comics, if the sales in a single week are too small, what else do cartoonists have to do? Lu Ning smiled bitterly.
There seems to be some truth to this.
Xi Muhan bowed slightly, "I didn't expect that the competition in comics is as fierce as light." β
"In fact, if the teacher is willing, not to mention recommending "Ding Shi" in a magazine interview, even if it is a little recommendation, our pressure should be reduced a lot."
Xi Muhan hurriedly shook his head and asked Shen Xin to recommend "Ding Food", what would he say?
Is this my sister's work?
No, it can't be explained that way.
"Xiaohan, I want to ask you something?" Yan Fei couldn't help but ask when she saw Xi Muhan, whose cheeks were slightly red.
"Huh?"
"Yours also has a good market and readers, why turn to comics?" Yan Fei wondered.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
