Chapter 27 Teacher Cangshuhong, why don't we serialize it on Tencent Animation first?
Tuesday, April 10th.
After Li Yuntao landed on the Wanjie Jiayuan APP, he received a new message from Cang Shuhong.
"What, Sister Cangshuhong, your hamster house BBS has been set up?"
You must know that Li Yuntao's suggestion has only been a few days, and Cang Shuhong has already found someone to make the website.
"I didn't expect it to be so soon, but I just mentioned to a student that I wanted to do a BBS, and I hope she would introduce someone who understands technology. Who knows, the school sister can do it alone. Cang Shuhong replied, "However, the new serialization of the comics is still far away!"
"That's ......," Li Yuntao thought for a while and said, "First of all, I publish two chapters of the novel on BBS every day, one chapter at noon and one chapter at night. Each chapter is about 2,000 words, and it is updated steadily and continuously. At the same time, on some social networking sites, a little hype, the beautiful girl cartoonist Cang Shuhong teacher, established the hamster home BBS, and the free serialized novel "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Wai". If you have fans to help, you will ask fans to help you post, and if you can't find fans, you will register a small account by yourself and pretend that fans are promoting. ”
"This ...... I'm a little embarrassed, how can anyone register their own trumpet and pretend to be a fan. Cang Shuhong said.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, let me tell you, the founder of Tencent, the world's 4 trillion market capitalization, also pretended to be a girl and chatted online when he was making QQ instant messaging software in the early days. Li Yuntao introduced it very gossipy.
"Hey......" Cang Shuhong is hard to imagine that a listed company with a market value of 4 trillion yuan, converted into dollars, is the founder of a top giant with more than 500 billion US dollars, and in the early days, he also pretended to be a girl to chat with him to increase the popularity of the software.
Li Yuntao said: "After the popularity of the website increases, it is not only for you to gather popularity, but also for great benefits. Other cartoonists can also use your website to communicate with fans online, without the need for fan letters selected by the editorial department, and they can directly know what fans think. For example, some cartoonists, some abandoned original manuscript plots, can also be uploaded to the Internet to give back to fans. Also, although Hamster House is a non-profit website, it can open forum coin and currency exchange channels. 1 yen for 1 hamster coin, fans recharge hamster coins, and encourage creators. While this may not be as lucrative as paying to post VIP content, it is a link that enhances the interaction between cartoonists and fans. As for cartoonists who want to exchange hamster coins for cash, they can also exchange them for the same amount, but they can only charge a 1% handling fee to supplement the operating expenses of the forum. ”
"Dream Eater" Li Yuntao has made up for it, and many cartoonists basically don't communicate with fans online. The few cartoonists who accept fan suggestions on the Internet are also regarded as villains.
Most manga artists, who want to know the popularity of their works, can only tell the editorial department of "Shonen JUMC" the ranking of their readers' questionnaire and the fan letters screened by the editorial department.
Therefore, the feedback received by cartoonists is not very timely, and it is not very comprehensive.
Of course, due to the fact that "Young JUMC" has been in operation for many years and has formed channel advantages and brand advantages, many readers and cartoonists habitually choose the "Young JUMC" channel. However, Li Yuntao is also convinced that even RB's comic market will be dominated by the Internet model sooner or later.
After all, the market for traditional paper magazines and books is constantly declining, which is an irreversible trend on a global scale. The electronic publishing market on the Internet is gradually replacing traditional publishing channels, which is also an inevitable trend.
"Wait, I'll take my notebook and write it all down. Cang Shuhong hurriedly said, "Really, I'm a good cartoonist, and I was fooled by you into becoming the webmaster of the website." ”
Although Li Yuntao proposed a lot of things to make Cang Shuhong very busy, it also made her feel very fulfilled. Previously, she had few social activities other than comics, and after the comic series was cut in half, there was no new work, which further made her feel very confused about the future. But with Li Yuntao's suggestion, she felt that her life was gradually getting busy.
"By the way, Sister Cang Shuhong, I need to confirm that the comic of "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Ai" does not have the permission to be serialized by the editorial department, are you still continuing to create follow-up content?" asked Li Yuntao.
"Of course!" Cang Shuhong said, "Although the creative speed is not very fast, I draw two or three pages every day and do not stop." Even if ...... editorial department of "Young JUMC" still does not pass the new serialization in the end, it can still be published in other second-tier magazines!"
"That's good!" Li Yuntao said, "If Sister Cang Shuhong continues to draw, can I serialize it on the Tencent animation platform in this world first?"
"Ah...... Actually, the webtoon editorial department over there first recognized the serialization qualification of this comic?" Cangshuhong was surprised.
"No, it's not very difficult to apply for serialization for webtoons, after all, it's not like a magazine like Shonen Jumc, which can only hold 20 new serializations. In fact, webtoons can hold hundreds or even thousands of new comics, and the capacity is theoretically unlimited. The difficulty is not the new serialization qualifications, but how to stand out and attract enough popularity among the massive serialized comics. ”
"So how many new comics are serialized on Tencent Comics?" asked Cang Shuhong curiously.
"There are more than 27,000 manga in the library. There should be more than 1,000 comics per month. Li Yuntao searched a little and reported the number of comics in the library.
This number is only a few tenths compared to the novels that China Literature is serializing. Therefore, Li Yuntao doesn't think that thousands of comics are serialized every month, which is a great number.
"What?" Cang Shuhong couldn't help but be shocked.
Even Shonen JUMC has been around for more than forty years, and there aren't that many long-form serialized manga.
"Don't mind the number of serials on the webtoon platform, in fact, there are just as few comics that can really get ahead. Li Yuntao said, "Although Tencent Animation does not have a reader survey form, it has various lists, including clicks, sales, monthly passes and the like. In a sense, Tencent Animation uses clicks and revenue rankings to replace reader survey forms! Sales lists may be more authoritative than reader survey forms. ”
"Okay! I will upload it in Li Jun's world first, but I ask that the sales list ranking and readers' comments and feedback be passed to me!" Cang Shuhong said, "I need to know more clearly what readers think." ”
"No problem!" Li Yuntao replied happily.
