The popularity of "Chess Soul: Beidou Cup" has driven the sales of two comics.

One is a single book of the ordinary version of "Chess Soul", and the other is "Steel Forged".

The sales of the complete single edition of "Chess Soul" have also increased, but its price is relatively high, and there is only one volume, so the sales are not as direct as the above two books.

If it weren't for the fact that the latest magazine of "ic future" had been sold out a few years ago, it is estimated that "ic future" would have been able to increase sales.

Zuo Yuan changed into his work clothes, and the next step was to go to the supermarket to buy some discounted food, and by the way, he could also buy some blank paper to prepare the name of the new comics.

Coming out of the locker room, Zuo Yuan passed by the front desk and happened to see the TV hanging in the hall, on which the premiere of "Chess Soul" was playing.

It had been shown on TV once before.

He pretended to have a stomachache and hid in the bathroom.

He's a cartoonist, and everyone else is a cartoonist, but now he's so far away – it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a world of difference.

When he saw this premiere, he felt a deep inferiority complex and a trace of sourness in his heart.

It was precisely because he couldn't make money from comics that he had to work here to beg for a living.

But, deep down, he still can't let go of his dream of being a cartoonist.

Ten years of cold windows no one asked, and in one fell swoop became famous all over the world.

That's the only thing that keeps him going.

Seeing the premiere of "Chess Soul" on TV, he wanted to leave in a hurry.

I was about to walk out of the bookstore when I suddenly heard a voice coming from the TV.

“…… As the hottest cartoonist in China, how do you think about the choice of subject matter? ”

Selection?

Zuo Yuan suddenly stopped, turned back in surprise, and looked at the TV.

He also wanted to know...... How does Shen Zheng, as one of the most successful cartoonists in China, view this issue?

Looking down on niche themes?

No, Go itself is a niche genre, but "Chess Soul" is very successful.

So, Mr. Shen Zheng, what is your answer?

Zuo Yuan stood at the door of the bookstore, watching the TV intently, waiting for Shen Xin's answer.

"Listen to the editor, because the editor is the one who knows you best......"

However, I listened to the editors...... Is it that I really don't have talent?

Zuo Yuan was very anxious and continued to look up at the TV.

Subsequently, Shen Xin's words made his mood fall to the freezing point.

“…… There is no subject that can't produce good works, only authors who can't draw good comics......"

And so it was......

Zuo Yuan sighed.

At the end of the day, the reason is still on him.

The strength of the author is more important than the subject matter.

Do you give up, or do you persevere?

Zuo Yuan's mind was in a mess, and he turned around and walked out of the bookstore.

“…… The more difficult the subject matter to create, the more readers can remember the work once it is finished...... It's too hard to do that...... To find a balance between the characteristics of niche comics and the interests of readers......"

Zuo Yuan's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Too hard? Teacher Shen thinks the same way?

And so on, he just said, to find a balance between the characteristics of niche comics and the interests of readers...... What does this mean?

Zuo Yuan turned around again, looked at the TV, and listened carefully.

Soon, Shen Xin's answer ended.

Zuo Yuan felt like he heard a lot of things, but he felt like he hadn't heard anything.

"Zuo Yuan, aren't you leaving?" The store manager was holding a teacup in his hand, and he was a little curious when he saw Zuo Yuan, who was standing outside the door and turning around to watch TV.

"Not yet, I'm watching TV...... Watch the premiere. Zuo Yuan said.

"Premiere?" The store manager turned his head, "The video site on the Internet has long been ......"

"Already? Which website? Zuo Yuan hurriedly asked.

After knowing the name of the video site from the store manager, Zuo Yuan couldn't wait to run home, and didn't even buy half-price food and blank paper.

Open the door and drop your bag on the floor.

After Zuo Chan was taken away by Zheng Ping, this small room became a lot more deserted and lonely.

But at this moment, he didn't care about this, and hurriedly turned on a desktop computer - he spent 2,000 yuan to buy a second-hand computer from a college student who was about to graduate - clicked on the video website that the store manager said, and typed in the premiere of "Chess Soul".

The network speed is relatively slow, so I can't watch HD, and even, even playing Puqing, it's a little intermittent.

He also took advantage of the gap in the video buffering to reminisce about what Shen Xin said.

The same genre ...... There are also differences, which are reflected in the author's experience, experience, and attitude towards the work......

You need to read a lot of books, accumulate a lot of experience, and devote yourself to your work......

I now work in a bookstore and already find time to read various comics. I am also very attentive to my work, and the key is experience.

Also, Mr. Shen also said that it is necessary to find a balance between readers' interests and the characteristics of niche comics......

So, what do I do?

Experience, reading, reader's interest, characteristics of the manga......

These aspects must be improved quickly, and must be as soon as possible!

Zuo Yuan clenched his fists, and his gaze fell on the display again.

……

The animation storm brought by "Chess Soul Beidou Cup" has made many comic magazines red-eyed.

An animation, in the Chinese film market, broke the 500 million mark in just one week of release, which is incredible. This achievement makes fans of "The Legend of the Dragon King" only envious - before, when "The Legend of the Dragon King" was still serialized, it was also put on the big screen, but the box office was average, and it was barely accepted.

You must know that at that time, "The Legend of the Dragon King" was still serialized, and the popularity was good, but "Chess Soul" had been over for two years.

Just the popularity, the two comics are not on the same level.

But the benefits of the movie are one-sided, which surprises many people.

Of course, generally speaking, the first week has the largest revenue, so the final box office of "Chess Soul" should be 600 million or 700 million.

After that, "Chess Soul: Beidou Cup" should be sold to TV stations or websites.

On the whole, Zhenyu Technology has made a lot of money because of this comic.

"IC Future" did not make much money on the movie, but with the big sale of "Chess Soul: Beidou Cup", the popularity of the comic has also increased greatly.

Major bookstores are already putting up posters of the complete version of the second volume of "Chess Soul", and the number of reservations far exceeds that of the first volume.

Other production companies or magazines can only use "envy, jealousy, and hatred" to describe the mood at the moment.

"500 million! Now it's 500 million! If it is released for a month, if it breaks 700 million...... Zhenyu Technology has to earn at least 150 million. Mr. Tong, do you have any decent comics on your website? ”

Ke Bei, the manager of Ruiku Technology, came out of the cinema and couldn't wait to dial the phone.

"Yes, the results of "Sky Wolf" are not bad."

"Forget that kind of comic, I think it's hard to pass the review."

After all, the state department is involved.

"Or, "Holy Martial Academy" ......"

"Selling meat, do you think you can be on the big screen? That's the end of making an FTG (fighting) game...... Otherwise, Mr. Wang's comic ......"

"Shut up, Mr. Wang's works, we have to use them ourselves...... It's really not good, you take a look at the works that participated in the 'Golden Brush' award. ”

"Golden brushes?" Kebei rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
