In a private place, Xia Yan was invited again to meet with Hu Yi, deputy editor-in-chief of Beizhou Comics Society.

Needless to say, Xia Yan's popularity in the second dimension of the Dragon Kingdom has only been two months since April, and his nomination for the sixth place in the Emperor Star Award has not decreased.

Quanlong has millions of fans waiting for him to release a new work.

Besides, the comic work of the initial D is indeed as far as the first few words are concerned.,The quality is nothing to say.。

And Xia Yan's past serial experience also told Beizhou Comics that his ability to control the plot in the later stage is also very top-notch.

None of Xia Yan's works have collapsed in the later stage so far, which is very powerful.

So after Hu Yi put Xia Yan ready to cooperate with an unknown beautiful cartoonist to submit the information of Beizhou Comics and the feedback from the comic club.

In fact, the Beizhou Comics Club recently held three meetings specifically for this matter.

"So, Mr. Xia Yan, this is the case, here in our comic club, we collectively support your submission of the comic "Initial D", although you have never created a comic work before, but we are still willing to make an exception for you, so that this work will be serialized in the comic journal "Beizhou", which has the highest sales in my comic club. Hu Yi said with a smile.

"Huh?" When Xia Yan heard this, he was stunned.

He. Some didn't react.

"Is that simple?" Xia Yan hesitated for a moment and asked questioningly.

"North Boat", as one of the four major comic periodicals in the Dragon Country, has 22 fixed serial positions and a weekly circulation of 11 million copies in the Dragon Country.

It can be said that Beizhou Comics Club is a company that is on par with Liuli Book Society in terms of scale, sales of works under its command, and influence in all aspects.

Xia Yan originally wanted to serialize his work on "Liuli", and it took so much thought, but now, in the comic journal "Beizhou" at the same level, he has obtained the serialization qualification so easily.

It's a little too smooth.

"Teacher Xia Yan will definitely think that why did our comic society so easily agree to put the initial D on "Beizhou" to be serialized, instead of letting it be serialized in the secondary comic journal "Xingzhou" first," Hu Yi said with a smile.

This. There is a reason, of course.

There is no shortage of excellent cartoonists in Beizhou Comics Society, and the serialization qualifications of popular periodicals such as "Beizhou" are naturally stared at by a group of cartoonists in the whole Dragon Kingdom.

The reason why Xia Yan's initial D was chosen so easily is that in addition to the fact that the first three words of this comic were unanimously scored 9.4 points after the joint review of the forty-nine senior comic editors of the comic book club last week, there is another important reason

"Teacher Xia Yan may not be very aware of things in the comic industry." Hu Yi cleared her throat.

"In the Dragon Country comics industry, there are nine large-scale comic companies, but there are four of them with the most outstanding strength, Squirrel, Snow Wind, Beizhou, and Reverse Star. Because there are only these four, there are weekly comic periodicals with sales of more than 10 million. Similar to the industry, a company has this kind of weekly magazine with sales of more than 10 million, so it can be called the top publishing magazine in the Dragon Country. ”

Xia Yan nodded when he heard this

"But in the past two years, in fact, the entire Dragon Kingdom two-dimensional industry, whether it is the world, or the comics industry, has been a little bit like that." Hu Yi paused and said.

"Rice circle."

"Today's readers, in addition to paying attention to whether the quality of a work is excellent, will also pay attention to the creator's own appearance, talent, education and other factors."

"Our Beizhou Comics Club has always ranked second in strength among the four major comic clubs, but in the past two years, on the contrary, in the Internet and comics industry, the topic is directly at the bottom. Because, our comic club doesn't do that.,I always think that comics are comics.,The most critical point of the work is that the plot is good-looking.,Not to engage in online marketing.。 But in the end, things turned out differently." Hu Yi said.

"For example, Song Yihua of the Squirrel Comics Club is twenty-seven years old, and his comic serialization results are just a dozen in the top comic journal "Squirrel". However, because he does know how to engage in marketing, his appearance is okay, and he is also active, the activity of fans can be said to be very high, and he has a great impact on the reputation and influence of the comic journal "Squirrel". ”

When Xia Yan heard this, he understood what Hu Yi meant.

Indeed, if the creator of an excellent comic is a beautiful girl or a handsome guy, it is extremely helpful for the work and even for the promotion of serial periodicals.

Xia Yan's own appearance is okay in the entertainment industry, but he is very good in the two-dimensional circle, plus he is very popular in the circle, Beizhou and Xia Yan cooperated, and they also wanted to emulate the case of Song Yihua recommended by the Squirrel Comics Club.

And Xia Yan's initial D of the work he submitted this time is also of high quality, even if these things are not considered, the strength of this comic is enough to be serialized on "North Boat".

"Actually, I think your company is right. The most important thing about comics is that the works are good-looking, and it's useless to engage in the trafficking of comic authors. Xia Yan shook his head and said.

"That's natural, I think so, but the company's top management sees that others have benefits from doing this, and if they want to follow along, we can only follow orders, right?" Hu Yi smiled when he heard this.

"It's just a try, anyway, Mr. Xia Yan has an image and strength, and you can eat with your strength, but this is not in conflict with the company's help to operate your own image and absorb the fandom."

Xia Yan pondered for a moment when he heard this

Forget it, no matter what the purpose of the Beizhou Comics Club is so readily decided to cooperate with him, he will not suffer anyway.

After Hu Yi looked at Xia Yan's expression, he also guessed his thoughts.

Then he talked to Xia Yan about the conditions of cooperation between the two sides.

Xia Yan is now crossing the border and the comic world at the same time, and Beizhou's side naturally knows that it is impossible to bind Xia Yan with a long-term contract.

After all, Xia Yan is not an amateur anymore, and he has the strength to negotiate terms with these large companies.

Signing a contract or something,It's just a step of signing the initial D.,But the most important content in the contract is.

To a certain extent, Xia Yan cooperated with the Beizhou Comics Club to carry out publicity, drama activities, and appeared on TV variety shows.

It can be understood that the Beizhou Comics Club is ready to try it and promote Xia Yan as a cartoonist of the face of the Beizhou Comics Club.

The strength of this façade cartoonist does not have to be the highest in the journal, but it must have a passable image.

Of course, because Xia Yan is a cartoonist combination tied to Mo Ran, the content of this contract, Mo Ran also has to sign, but the cartoonist combination of the two is based on Xia Yan.

Xia Yan has no opinion on these conditions, as for Mo Ran, she is mainly based on Xia Yan's opinion after confirming that the contract is not pitted.

"Teacher Xia Yan and Teacher Mo Ran are really happy. Today, it is only the preliminary cooperation conditions are determined, and a week later, I will sort out the contract documents, and then invite the two of you to move to the headquarters of our comic club to attend the signing ceremony. We'll take care of everything."

"Sign." Mo Ran's eyes widened and he said two words.

"Ceremonial activities?" Xia Yan finished the last four words for her.

"Sign a contract, and do an event?" Xia Yan and Mo Ran were collectively confused.

"Of course. Mr. Xia Yan, you are the sixth in the Dragon Kingdom Emperor Star Award last year, and you have continuously created three volumes of "Unheard of Flower Names", "To the Moon" and "Parasitic Beast", all of which have sold more than 5 million copies. How could you cooperate with our Beizhou Comics Club to sign a contract in obscurity, and I also told Mo Ran and Mr. Xia Yan just now, the book club. Will be a duo and hype about your duo during the collaboration. Naturally, from the time of signing the contract, not only will a special event be held, but also some news media in the comic industry will be invited to broadcast it live. ”

Xia Yan and Mo Ran glanced at each other, not knowing what to say.

Xia Yan became famous too quickly, and he has never had a clear understanding of his position in the two-dimensional industry.

I always feel that the Emperor Star Award is sixth, so what is it? It's only sixth.

But in fact, if the Emperor Star Award can enter the top 20, he is an extremely powerful person in the world, and he is a real popular. The status is directly targeted by the top seven comic authors in the top seven comic books in the four major comic clubs.

"That'll do." Xia Yan and Mo Ran looked at each other the same, and then nodded.

The meeting and conversation between the three ended quickly.
