Which is more important, platform or work?

This is actually a difficult question to understand, and generally speaking, the platform has a greater effect on the blessing of the work. ◢ With * dream * small ◢ say щЩш.

A good platform can promote a good work to more readers, so when the sales of two magazines are too different, the role of the platform will be very crucial.

Shen Xin has a deep understanding of this, and when he drew "Y's", he clearly felt how much a good platform can add to the work.

Therefore, when Shen Xin leaves "New World", if he has the opportunity to serialize in the best magazines in China, he must seize the opportunity.

However, with the understanding of the comic industry, Shen Xin's relationship between the platform and comics is also changing.

If the platform has a certain degree of exposure, as long as the quality of the work is excellent, the comics can still rise.

This is not nonsense, because there is a comic that has done it, and that is "Attack on Titan".

When Isayama submitted an article to JUP, the editor of JUP rejected the manga on the grounds that "your style of art is not suitable for JUP", and Isayama had to switch to Kodansha.

Isayama made his debut with the short story "Orz" in 08 and was serialized in "Bessho Shonen Agaze" in October 09.

"Weekly Shonen Agaze" is second only to "JUP" in sales in District 11, but its supplement "Besshoen Shonen Agaze" is different.

First of all, "Beshu Boy" is a monthly magazine, and the circulation cycle is much longer than that of a weekly magazine; Secondly, "Besshoi Shonen Agaze" was first published in September of '09, which means that "Giant" began to be serialized in the second issue of this magazine.

After that, the popularity of "Giant" continued to increase, and in 14 years, it ranked second in the sales of single comics in District 11, and the first place was "Pirates", and the gap between the two comics was only 100,000 copies.

Does the platform matter? "Giant" was serialized in a newly created monthly magazine, and the magazine's sales and fame were at a disadvantage compared to "JUP", but "Giant" achieved results that many works serialized in "JUP" could not match.

Isn't the platform important? Although "Bessho Shonen Agaze" is a newly created magazine, the resources that can be used behind it are not comparable to those of second-tier magazines.

Therefore, Shen Xin has what he just said, not that the platform is not important, but if there is no absolute gap between several platforms, he will have a choice.

Moreover, he himself has a high reputation in China, as long as the platform is not too bad, no matter which platform it is, it is actually the same.

In particular, after the advent of the Internet era, the role of the platform has also been blurred, and in addition, comics that can get the first or top few on the D version of the website are also very popular.

Of course, IC Future understands this, so there is a clause in the contract that cartoonists are not allowed to contribute to other magazines for the duration of the contract, in order to avoid this.

Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei looked at Shen Xin with their mouths slightly open, they didn't expect him to say such tough words, and Shang Haozhi was also very surprised.

He is undoubtedly on the side of the magazine in this matter, because he is the editor-in-chief of "IC Future", and he wants to protect the interests of the magazine, but he doesn't want Shen Xin to leave "IC Future".

There is a paradox.

In all fairness, although Shen Xin's words sounded uncomfortable, they were facts.

Not to mention the distance, just take the recent period of time, "Steelcore" has become popular in Europe and the United States, and it has little to do with "IC Future", and "King of Rock and Roll", which was promoted by the key push, was only popular for more than a week, and then it was suppressed by "Steel".

Although there is a certain amount of chance, no one expected that "Steel Refining" would become popular in the West, nor did they expect that when "Steel Forged" promoted "King of Rock and Roll" in "ic future", the animation happened to be broadcast to the most exciting place, and the popularity spread from abroad to China again, making "Steel Forged", which was already very popular, instantly become popular.

The fire of "Steel Forge", or Shen Xin's current achievements, has jumped out of the domestic platform, to put it more bluntly, there is no domestic platform that can hold a comic that has a certain reputation in the world, and it is always its quality that determines the upper limit of the work.

The parties are negotiating, and these words cannot be said in this situation.

Whether it is Bao Jiyi or Shen Xin, they are trying their best to put pressure on the other party and reduce the opponent's advantage, so as to increase their own chips in order to take the initiative in this game.

But whether it is Shen Xin or Bao Jiyi, they all know one thing that the initiative is no longer in the hands of "IC Future".

This can be judged from the attitude of the two people.

When Shen Xin said that several platforms were "not much different" for him, Bao Jiyi's face instantly showed a chill, but he did not refute it stiffly, indicating that he was also weighing Shen Xin's reaction after refuting this sentence.

However, Shen Xin's work is unpredictable, sometimes he is very easy to speak, but sometimes he is difficult to entangle, in case of wrong guessing, the two sides will have no chance to cooperate.

Bao Jiyi stared at Shen Xin, thinking about the gains and losses of the next sentence.

Shen Xin stayed, and the magazine could still regroup and survive the difficulties; With Shen Xin leaving, "IC Future" will definitely be reshuffled, and in the face of other magazines, "IC Future" will be in a difficult situation.

But agreeing to Shen Xin's request is equivalent to having an exception, and in the future, other cartoonists will also have thoughts.

Several people remained silent, and their eyes fell on Bao Jiyi.

Teacher Shen ...... Let's take a step back, we agree that as long as you have the manga copyright of your next work, please don't serialize it on other platforms. Bao Jiyi took a deep breath and said patiently.

The competitiveness of the magazine lies in the uniqueness of the work, "I have it, you don't" to attract readers. Therefore, giving up the copyright seems to have a certain economic loss to "ic future", but Yishu Culture can accept it.

Shen Xin's serialization on other platforms has a greater impact on "IC Future" than giving up copyright.

"Dong Bao, I know what you mean. However, it can't be. Shen Xin took a deep breath, "Authors, including me, all depend on the state. The success of the work is very accidental, and if it fails, it may not be possible to recover in the next few years. Whether a work is successful or not can have a controlled impact on the magazine, but for the author, once the work fails to get up, the situation will be difficult. I can't put all my eggs in one basket. ”

"I don't think so. Of course, the quality of the three works drawn by Mr. Shen is very high, but if Mr. Shen is distracted and the quality of the works declines, we will also be under great pressure. Bao Jiyi said meaningfully.

The pressure of drawing only one book and opening it double is completely different. Bao Jiyi did not doubt Shen Xin's strength, but doubted whether he had enough physical strength and energy.

Shang Haozhi nodded again and again, Bao Jiyi's answer was soft and hard, it was a good answer, it depends on how Shen Xin responds.
