Chapter 86 Reader Survey
August 21, 2013.
The editorial department of "Young JUMC" is still busy in an orderly manner.
Editors are either looking at the manuscript or contacting their own authors.
Of course, there are also editors who, after finishing their own work, begin to wait for the results of the reader survey.
"Yujiro, my new wife is getting more and more stable now, and maybe she will become the pillar of "JUMC" in the future!" one editor said with a smile to Yujiro Hattori, the hot editor.
Yujiro shook his head and said: "There is no need to question the strength of the new wife's teacher, but the new wife's teacher himself said that he is more optimistic about this issue of "My AI Girlfriend" ranking first. ”
"How could it be? It's not a royal manga after all!"
"Young JUMC readers are always wavering, and as long as the work is interesting, it will definitely be sought after. Especially for new works, readers hate to be the same, and readers who can't get surprises from serialized works are more likely to vote for new works that they haven't read. What's more, "My AI Girlfriend" also has a light novel, and fans of the novel may vote for the new book. ”
"Yes!"
And Shan Jiu is a little restless, because he is the editor in charge of Cang Shuhong and Li Yuntao. It seems that after he took office, he didn't bring out excellent works, and even, the other authors at hand didn't even have a serialized one!
If the editor of a magazine whose goal is serialization does not bring out an author who can serialize for a long time, then ...... After the contract expires, you can only leave in disgrace!
After all, the current new editors are not on a long-term contract, but only on a two-year work agreement. If you want to get a longer contract, you can only rely on hard work and luck, and to some extent, the editor in charge of "Young JUMC" is also the author who entrusts his fate to himself.
Therefore, he cares more than anyone about the ranking of the new serialized reader questionnaire of "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Wai"!
"Yamaku-san, are you waiting for the quick results?" Tetsu Hattori asked as he walked in suddenly, pretending to be casual.
Although he is a veteran editor, Tetsu Hattori has brought out many manga artists who can be serialized. However, what he is most concerned about is the author Yacheng Mu Mengye combination who debuted a few years ago, at that time he thought that if Yacheng Mu Mengye developed steadily, he might be able to surpass his new wife Yingji, but unfortunately, now Yacheng Mu Mengye has gone crooked because of a series of setbacks, resulting in high and low......
Because, he has always hoped to regain the identity of Yacheng Mu Mengye as the editor-in-charge and help Yacheng Mu Mengye come up with a new development route!
Now after seeing the appearance of works like "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Ai", Hattori's first thought was if Yacheng Mumeha hadn't deviated from his previous path...... Perhaps, this kind of work can be thought of too!
Relying on his vision, Tetsu Hattori had a hunch that "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Wai" was going to be popular, so he had the heart to discuss it with Yamahisa and exchange the views of the two editors.
"Oh, Hattori-senpai. Seeing the deliberate communication of this senior editor, I couldn't help but be flattered, "Yes! I don't have a popular serialization teacher in my hands, so I can only hope that Mr. Cangshu Yuntao's works can become popular." ”
"Hehe, the first few months of the new series must be fine. Tetsu Hattori smiled, "I can only say that the ranking of the opening game will be determined by the follow-up potential and how long it can be serialized." If, at the beginning, he made a splash and won the first and second results, even if he started high and went low, it is estimated that he could be serialized for more than two years. If...... If you are below 5, it is a bit dangerous!However, in my personal judgment, it will not be lower than the top three! In the recent new series, this is definitely a very eye-catching work!"
"Accept your good words!" Yamahisa nodded and said, "To be honest, I'm not competent as the editor-in-charge. At the beginning, the advice given to Teacher Cang Shuhong was very bad, and he would only come up with some ideas that did not conform to Teacher Cang Shuhong's positioning...... This work is also completely exchanged between Mr. Cangshuhong and Mr. Li Yuntao, and I give very few opinions. After all, this subject matter is actually not what I am good at, I can only say that after drawing it, I was convinced! According to my original point of view, even if Mr. Cangshuhong barely got a new serial, it is estimated that he will not go to much of a great achievement! So, I am ready to let go and let Mr. Cangshu Yuntao create according to his own ideas, and I will at most stand in the position of an objective reader to pick up the missing pieces!"
"Yamakusan must be a good editor in the future. Tetsu Hattori said. For talented authors who have their own ideas, in fact, the editor doesn't need to teach them how to create, the editor thinks it will be popular, and inform the author that if the author is not suitable and reluctantly caters to the editor's ideas, it is possible to be like Yacheng Mu Mengye, high or low, far lower than the editorial department's estimate of its original strength!
"A ...... like Mr. Yacheng Mumeye" Yamajiu is very smart, thoughtful, and knows that Hattori Tetsu discussed it with him, in fact, mainly for Ajo Mumeye.
After all, now the development route and results of Yacheng Mu Yumeha, Hattori Tetsu can't look at it, and is ready to win back the qualification of Yacheng Mu Yumeha from the hands of Minato Uraga Goro, who is not suitable for Yacheng Mu Yumeha.
There is no doubt that this practice is actually very destructive and has offended colleagues.
It is precisely for this reason that Tetsu Hattori needs to seek more understanding of his plans and practices from more editors.
......
As the flagship of RB Comic Magazine, "Weekly Shonen JUMC" reached a circulation of 6 million copies at its peak in the 90s.
After entering the 21st century, the RB publishing industry is in a downturn, and many once glorious newspapers and magazines have disappeared from the world.
"Young JUMC" is of course also immune to the impact of the Internet, and its circulation has shrunk to about 3 million copies. But it is still the magazine with the most readers in RB, and the entire publishing industry can no longer find a newspaper that has more readership than "Young JUMC" in addition to a news newspaper.
To a certain extent, "Young JUMC" is not only a popular newspaper, but also has become a deeply influential RB contemporary culture since the 60s, and even, for world culture, it has also contributed a bunch of world-renowned two-dimensional figures. Many classic comic book characters that have been serialized for many years are even as well-known as the world's top entertainment stars.
The reason why "Juvenile JUMC" stands out is because of the special reader survey mechanism, other magazines, of course, also have reader survey feedback, but it is not as good as "Juvenile JUMC" to regard the reader survey form as a golden rule.
"JumbPU" is ranked first in the readers' questionnaire, and it will be regarded as a key work by the editorial department. The two or more works at the end of each issue may be notified of the halving.
Basically, the reader survey is like a company's most authoritative reward and elimination mechanism.
Once you are at the top of the reader's survey, you will inevitably be a superstar in the comic book industry that "Shonen JUMC" is highly promoted. And once the reader survey score is at the bottom, even if you have achieved good results, you will be ruthlessly eliminated.
After all, only by ensuring that there is entry and exit, and maintaining a brutal but efficient competition, can the magazine be able to maintain its vitality. Otherwise, some works that have lost readers and cannot be cut in half, will lose the overall appeal of the magazine.
The number of new serialized comics is determined by the number of comics that have been cut in half. How many serialized comics are cut in half or completed normally will vacate the new serialized places.
Therefore, the review of each new serial is extremely harsh, and it will never let a bad comic get serialized because of the past achievements of senior cartoonists.
