Chapter 688: Preparing a New Book

At seven o'clock in the evening, Duoman published a message on its official WeChat, and "Y's" reached 284,000 subscriptions within 24 hours.

For an author of Shen Xin's level, this subscription is not much.

If you convert "Steel Chain", it will break six or seven hundred thousand within 24 hours, and if piracy is excluded, the number of subscriptions will be higher.

But "Y's" can reach this popularity, which has exceeded many people's expectations.

This also illustrates the problem that good works, no matter what form they are serialized, will make a lot of money.

When Tong Yu learned the news, he was negotiating cooperation with others at the wine table. Then, he saved the time for small talk and quickly reached an agreement with the other party.

After leaving the hotel, Tong Yu drove to the editorial office of Duoman and called Qian Sheng and Yuan Zhe to the conference room.

"What's going on now?" After Tong Yu sat down, he immediately asked.

"The number of subscriptions for episode 64 of "Y's" has exceeded 290,000, and it is expected that by the weekend, there should be 400,000." Qian Sheng explained.

"Whew, fortunately it's not a paper book." Tong Yu let out a sigh of relief.

Yuan Zhe and Qian Sheng glanced at each other and understood the meaning of Tong Yu's words.

They had estimated 200,000 copies a week, and if they were to sell out in a single book, they would be sold out in a day or two. Webcomics, on the other hand, have no such concerns.

"yes, and that's just a word. If it is a single book, the income should be several times over. Yuan Zhe said.

A single book usually has 8 or 9 words, and the number of subscriptions is estimated to increase several times.

"This also shows from the side that this model of subscribing by 'words' is feasible. In the future, can we also allow more works to join this model? Qian Sheng asked.

"The 7:3 ratio is too high, and we don't make much money. Mr. Shen said that although the proportion is high, he is a flag after all, and I don't think there is anything wrong with spending money to buy a flag. Although "Y's" is a long-term manga, the plot is good, and it is very suitable for making a movie. In addition, even if we only take 3 percent, the benefit is not small. Other cartoonists can't get that ratio. Tong Yu shook his finger and said.

"Then adjust the different sharing ratios according to the different levels of the authors. Ordinary authors are five or five points, and the authors of the higher level, such as the winner of the Golden Brush Award, are scored according to six or four points, and the authors of the highest level, such as Mr. Shen and Mr. Wang, can get seven or three points. This also allows other authors to have a goal to strive for. Qian Sheng proposed.

"It's fine." Tong Yu nodded, touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and asked, "By the way, I heard that Mr. Shen dismantled the copyright of "DN"?" ”

"That's right, that's what Wang Wenhong said." As soon as Yuan Zhe said his words, he remembered one thing again, "Wait, Mr. Tong, do you want to ......?"

"Find a time to buy the film and television rights of "DN". We don't do animation, but we do film and television. Tong Yu said.

"That's just as well. However, let's take a look at the feedback from the market, right? If nothing else, "DN" should be serialized soon. Moreover, even if this manga is adapted, the movie produced may be limited. Yuan Zhe explained.

Although "DN" has not yet been serialized, judging by the message conveyed by the short story, not everyone of all ages can watch it.

Tong Yu rubbed his chin and didn't make a sound.

If you really want to limit the level, it is estimated that a group of viewers will be reduced, and how to operate it is still necessary to wait and see for a while, at least to see how the market reacts.

……

"Y's" was around 300,000 on the first day, and the number of subscriptions approached 600,000 in a single week, which surprised Shen Xin. But preparing two comics at the same time also made Shen Xin very busy.

"DN" had to prepare a three-episode or even four-episode manuscript before it could be officially serialized, and at the same time, "Comic Future" also freed up space for "DN" - almost certainly in issue 26, with a poster on the frontispiece.

Readers are eagerly awaiting the serialization of DN, but before that, they will have to wait another month.

That's the problem with different media.

Paper magazines, in the eyes of most readers, are very formal platforms, and the works serialized on them must be edited and screened, and the quality is guaranteed, and the webtoons appear to be mixed with public opinion.

There are such high-quality works as "Y's" and "Age of the Gods", and there are also many works that are not of high quality.

The advantage of webcomics is also obvious: they can be updated freely, so you don't have to wait for a free space.

On the other hand, "Y's" has been in the red during this period, with a stable number of subscriptions in a single week at 600,000, with an upward trend towards 700,000.

In the follow-up episode, Yi Gui and the girl, Qi Xiaoquan (Izumi Isozaki), are implicated because of various coincidences, and Qi Xiaoquan begins to pursue Yi Gui, which also deepens Iori's misunderstanding.

In this plot, Shen Xin also made a large number of changes to the original work.

In "I's", Kazuki Seto was tricked into a female bath by Yasuya Teraya and "met honestly" with Iori, thus deepening the misunderstanding, but in Chinese manga, hot springs rarely appear, and at this time, it would be nondescript to copy the original work.

Shen Xin could only move the place where the misunderstanding occurred from the hot spring to the changing room of the bathhouse, so that the two of them had a misunderstanding.

Readers feasted their eyes, but Shen Xin was "despised" by Xi Muhan because of this.

In this regard, Shen Xin could only sigh silently in his heart, all in order to tell a good story.

On the other hand, after drawing the original manuscript of the first three episodes of "DN", Shen Xin handed over the original manuscript to Yan Fei, who translated it.

It's just that the translation of "DN" is more time-consuming than "Steel" because it is more ...... No, there are a lot more lines than other comics.

There are many lines, which can be regarded as a feature of Dachang's thrush works, which is the case with "DN" and "Dream Eater".

But this also can't blame him, because these two comics, one belongs to the wisdom comics, and the other belongs to the explanatory comics.

Both types of manga have a lot of lines, similar to "Kanedaichi", "Conan" (Zhidou), and "The Spirit of the Halberd" (explaining the dishes and ingredients).

Therefore, in addition to serving as the editor of "Ding Shi" and "DN", Yan Fei also has to put a lot of energy into translating the lines of "DN".

It's the end of June.

The number of subscriptions to "Y's", as the story progresses, gradually increases, and Duoman has also set up a special legal department, responsible for the D version and infringement lawsuits, wanting to further improve the performance and popularity of "Y's", at the same time, Fengshuo Media has also begun to recruit actors, ready to reshoot "Y's".

With the blessing of animation, "King of Rock and Roll" successfully topped the first place in the small book, and once again entered the top three on the popularity list; "Ding Food" overtook "Otherworldly Restaurant" because it entered the plot of the domestic cooking competition and won the third place in the small book.

At the same time, the first episode of "DN" also entered the printing house with the 26th issue of "Comic Future".
