The development of webtoons is still in its infancy, and even the charging model is copied from online novels, which is not very mature. So nowadays, cartoonists who want to make money generally don't choose to publish their works online.

Although Qin Yuyao's need for money is not so great, she grew up reading comic magazines since she was a child, and naturally hopes that her works can be published on paper that can be touched, rather than a virtual network.

She got the submission methods of several publishing houses from Duan Yangping, and then each of them submitted three words of content.

Cast a large area of the net, and if you are lucky, you should be able to catch one or two.

However, the reality is that from the third day, she has been notified by various publishing houses one after another. The content is much the same, and it can be summed up in two words: no.

The beginning of the first part of JOJO is really not much amazing, and the biggest gimmick "ripple" is still fresh for island people, but it is too common in the country of flowers, and no matter how mysterious it is, it is still qigong. The original author started serializing JOJO after drawing the popularity accumulated by other works and the trust of the editor.,And she's a newcomer.,Naturally, it's not so easy.。

If nothing else, it should be the end of total annihilation. Qin Yuyao had no choice but to discuss with Ximen Qing whether to start a serialization on the Internet.

"Online serialization......" Ximen Qing thought about it for a while, and said, "It's not that it can't be done, but this is the same as online novels, there must be a period of popularity accumulation in the early stage, and there is really no income at all during this period, and it doesn't mean that you will succeed if you survive this period, it's like gambling, maybe after it is put on the shelves, it will be a big fish and big meat package to raise tender molds, but it may also be a street to eat soil and work in the sea." ”

"Of course, the chances of JOJO hitting the street must be very small, but this is a comic and not an online novel after all, and according to the current development, it may take you to generate electricity with love within a year or two."

The Internet is a very magical place, where it is not impossible to get rich overnight, and even some cases of sudden popularity can be seen often. To describe it in the words of the online literature circle, it is "a book to seal the gods".

However, in reality, where did so many books come from, and many great gods have been inconspicuous, diligent for six or seven years, seven or eight years, and have accumulated steadily. This is the more common pattern.

Where does anyone last that long? Often, nine out of nine are eliminated in the first three years, and nine out of nine in the next three years. Of the rest of the people who persevered, a few who were truly talented became gods, and many more wasted a lot of time and gained nothing.

Ximen Qing is not against Qin Yuyao's serialization on the Internet, but in that case, she will not be able to be a full-time cartoonist like Song Yunwu. She had to continue working in the newsroom to keep her dreams alive, which would be hard.

"Well, I'll think about it." Qin Yuyao didn't rush to make a decision, at least she had to wait for the remaining publishing houses to reject all of them and completely cut off her expectations.

……

Comic Division of Weekly Edge Press.

The editors are in a meeting.

The atmosphere in the conference room was not good, and the editor-in-chief sitting at the top had a calm face: "Can anyone tell me what the sales of "Weekly Manyou" were last week?" ”

“5000。” Someone whispered below.

"You know!" The editor-in-chief suddenly raised his voice, "The opening of the comics branch is to open up new markets, not to let you retire!" Half a year ago, we still had 10,000 sales, and in the past six months, you have only half of them? You're really talented!? ”

An editor on the side said: "Editor-in-chief, the decline of the print media market is the general trend, and we are not the only ones whose sales are declining. ”

"Don't you think I don't know!?" The editor-in-chief yelled directly at the man, "But if you look at the decline of other people's homes for yourself, is it as exaggerated as ours?" In a few months, are you ready to sell 500? I won't mention the weekly SQUAT! Why can people turn the tables against the wind, and when everyone else is falling, just their family is rising? And it's skyrocketing! ”

"Vision! Insight! Insight! How many times have I said, don't always pick your work with the aesthetic of running a fashion magazine! Didn't SQUAT turn over because of a "Dragon Babu"? Look at you guys, what is this stuff? Tanmei, Tanmei, Tanmei...... The one who rides the horse is still Tanmei! ”

The editor-in-chief smashed the magazine out of his hand: "The beauty of your horse!" How niche this thing is, don't you have a little bit of it in mind? Within 3 periods, cut all of these for me! ”

"But the editor-in-chief!" A female editor immediately said, "We started the journal so late, and we relied on Tanmei to open the market, so wouldn't it be a little sorry for the readers who have always supported us to do this now?" ”

"Are you a philanthropist? Yes? The editor-in-chief glared at her, "If you want to do charity, go to the Red Cross as soon as possible!" Our purpose is to make money! Making money, you know? Don't mention any feelings to me, cross the river and tear down the bridge, all in all, if I see another Tanmei work in our magazine next month, you all roll up and get out! Well, also, don't use the name "Weekly Manyou", now the market has long positioned it as a Tanmei magazine, and if you want to change your image, you will change the name first. ”

The editor-in-chief left, leaving only a group of editors with heavy expressions. The female editor even burst into tears.

Another female editor on the side persuaded: "Alas, Xiaomei, look at it, the new official took office with three fires, he was specially sent by the headquarters to save our performance, didn't we foresee the drastic reform a long time ago?" If you raise an objection at this time, he will definitely target you. ”

The female editor named Hiromi Rentian said with some grievances: "But he is too much, it's not wrong to like Tanmei, many readers have been silently supporting us, and it's too much to abandon them now." ”

"There's no way around it, after all, we also have to eat," another male editor said, "I heard that this editor-in-chief was dug from somewhere else by the department, so I think I should have some skills." ”

"I hope so," the female editor who had persuaded Hiromi Nita sighed, "If we can't save this magazine, we'll really be laid off." ”

They were originally sent by the headquarters, and now the headquarters has filled in the newcomers, and there is no place for them to go back. If "Weekly Manyou" is cold, they will not be far from unemployment.

The reality is so cruel, no matter how reluctant they are, they still have to find new comics according to the editor-in-chief's intentions.
