Chapter 163 The short story essay ranking of the Love Festival is released
Li Yuntao brought back the animated theatrical version of "Your Last Name" from the original world, as well as the music of the theatrical version. But Li Yuntao didn't show it to Cang Shuhong, because, in terms of comics, Cang Shuhong's version is already very good.
Even if it is a film adaptation of "Your Last Name" in the future, it is only a reference, not a copy of Makoto Shinkai's original version. After all, Li Yuntao felt that even if he copied the original, he might not be able to copy the same. Therefore, it is better to create it as your own work on the basis of your own understanding.
"I finished the short story of "Your Last Name" first, and then I focused on creating "AI Girlfriend". Li Yuntao decided.
Cang Shuhong has no objection to this, because "Your Surname" is originally very short, with a total of no more than 10 words, and if a single book is published, it will only be more than 200 pages, and only 1 volume can be published. It's also because the content is not long, so the way to maximize the benefit is to release the theatrical version, not the TV animation.
However, the long-term serialization of "AI Girlfriend", according to the current trend, is as little as three or five years, and it may be required by JUMC to be serialized for ten years or even longer.
Because, a popular manga is a cash cow, which can bring billions of yen in revenue and hundreds of millions of yen in profits to JUMC a year. Then, JUMC will always hope that such profitable works will continue to be created.
As for some works that are sluggish, even if the author himself does not want to finish, he will be proposed by the JUMC editorial department to cut it in half. Generally serialized comics, three words determine life and death. A lot of comics, the first three words are not popular, and they may even be cut in half.
Most of the serialized comics that survived the first month or two were also immortal, hanging in the back of the car, struggling on the line of life and death. Once the comics at the end are cut in half, and the new serials are more popular, then, those original immortal serial comics will be squeezed directly into the abyss of the halving.
Li Yuntao returned to his work desk, and Aiko Iwase immediately came over: "Teacher, why did you suddenly leave for a few days?"
"I can't help it, I'm delayed at home, so I have to go back. Li Yuntao said.
"Is Li Jun returning to China?" said Aiko Iwase, "I haven't been to China yet, and if Li Jun goes to China next time, can you take me to have fun?"
"I'm talking about it. Li Yuntao and the others hurriedly changed the topic, "The works of this love festival have been published one after another, what ranking did your short story "A New World Where Marriage and Love Can't Be Free" go?" ”
ranked third, with a difference of only 10 votes from Yacheng Mu Yumeye's "When Subtle Throbbing". Aiko Iwase said a little depressed.
"10 votes is not a chasm, if you work hard, you can catch up. Li Yuntao reassured, "What's more, there are many opportunities for this kind of essay." For the next call for essays, it's good to seize the opportunity. ”
"Hmm. Aiko Iwase nodded, "But no matter how hard I try, I don't think 'A New World Where Marriage and Love Are Free' can hardly surpass Sensei's 'Your Last Name'. ”
Of course, "The New World of Marriage and Love Can't Be Free" is just Li Yuntao's own casual nonsense and used to perfunctory Aiko Iwase's work.
You must know that the box office performance of "Your Last Name" in Li Yuntao's world surpassed the old-timer Hayao Miyazaki, and pushed Makoto Shinkai to the altar of the first person in Japanese animated films in one fell swoop.
The two works are not of the same grade in the first place, and Aiko Iwase was able to create this idea to create the third of this short essay competition, which is already very powerful.
Li Yuntao was a little embarrassed to look at Aiko Iwase, Aiko Iwase's beautiful eyes flashed with a certain light, and this light carried some temptation. Even though Li Yuntao has been vigilant, he is afraid that he will make a mistake without realizing it for a while.
If he is single, Li Yuntao will be very happy to have a crush on a girl, but Li Yuntao is already a red tree, and he can only pretend to be confused about this love for Iwase Aiko, hoping that Iwase Aiko will only be infatuated for a while, and after a while, he can breathe a sigh of relief after shifting the target.
......
At this time, in Qifengtou's mansion, he stared closely at the comic in his hand, and the comic was "Your Last Name".
"Why, why is such a work not my work?!" Qifengtou's chest rose and fell violently, "Your Last Name" refreshed his perception of comics, he didn't like to read love comics, and he was also deeply attracted to them.
"Yacheng Mu Mengye is no longer my idol, nor is it my main opponent, I have only one opponent from now on, and that is Cangshu Yuntao. ”
After making his self-declaration, Nanami picked up his mobile phone and called the agent of the "partner" Makai Noshi, Angji.
"How's the Makai no Angji doing? When will I submit my work to the serialization conference? "Seven Peaks Penetrate.
"It's coming. "You know, even if you are a serialized manga artist, you need to consult with the editor-in-charge, and the editor-in-charge will review it, and then the editor-in-chief of the group will review it, and then you will be eligible to submit it, and you have not been serialized in the past......"
"In the last week for you. Qifeng said with a gloomy face, "If it doesn't work, I'll change someone else's cooperation!"
"You won't be disappointed, don't worry. ”
After making the call, Qifeng scolded and scolded: "Madan, garbage cartoonist, if you don't need him to submit your work, you won't cooperate with him at all." ”
Makai no Angji was able to submit the work of Toru Nanamine, mainly because he had serialized manga. Although it was cut in half after it was serialized, JUMC still saw the fans of Angji Makai and brought the magazine's sales to increase. At its peak, the first phase increased by more than 300,000 sales. After that, it was gradually reduced to 20,000 or 30,000 increments. It is precisely because of the fact that Angji Makai has 20,000 or 30,000 die-hard fans, so even if JUMC does not appreciate his works, he often gives him the opportunity to publish short stories, as well as introduce some more capable assistants to help him improve his works.
Qifeng Toru is even worse in comics, but he is a whimsical rich second generation who tries to obtain serialization qualifications by cooperating with cartoonists. After that, he collected and summarized his own creativity and the creativity of netizens on the Internet, integrated these creative highlights, and found some senior cartoonists as assistants to create them and publish them in the name of Qifeng Tho.
Of course, Qifeng overestimated his own insights into the comic industry, and also overestimated the level of works that can be bought with money, and whether they can meet their expectations. The bigger problem is that its entry into the comics industry is not necessarily love, but just the second disease of the rich second generation, thinking that the current comics in the comics industry are not good. Therefore, he wants to change the rules of the industry, so he has come up with some evil comics that are different from the mainstream royal comics, hoping that the evil comics can become the mainstream.
This kind of secondary two disease can only be said to be too naïve and naïve. The market is not determined by the will of individuals, but by a larger number of readers. The reason why Wang Daoman is the mainstream is because ...... The vast majority of JUMC's readers are fans of Wang Daoman. A small number of high-demand cult manga that have to look at the in-depth plot, however, the cult manga is only a dish to accompany the meal, not as the main meal. The main meal is definitely king, in order to support such a large market.
If it was really necessary to change according to the idea of Qifeng Toru, JUMC quickly changed from the mainstream comic magazine to a second- or third-rate niche magazine. It would be nice to have sales of 300,000 and 500,000.
Fools are willing to reduce sales from two million to 300,000 and a half million sales!
