My Cartoonist Guide

While everyone was discussing "Steel Refining", Xu Jie also entered the magazine with a smile on his face.

The others looked at Xu Jie with a confused look.

Xu Jie felt everyone's abnormality, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"No. You seem to be very happy." Jian Xiaomei curiously asked.

"Teacher Zuo's name has been handed in." Xu Jie smiled.

"Really? How's it going this time?"

Wang Wenhong has some impressions of Zuo Yuan. He really needs a lot of courage to serialize short stories like "Mountain God" on "icfuture".

"Fortunately, after the revision, the new name is much better. Wait a minute, please review by the team leaders, and then write a comment. It will be ok." Xu Jie saw that the team leader and the editor-in-chief were not there, curious. "Where are the team leaders?"

"The meeting is upstairs," Yan Fei said.

"Huh? Meeting? What kind of meeting will be held at this time? The serial meeting is not up yet, right?" Xu Jie asked.

"It's not a serial conference, it seems to be an online comic." Wang Wenhong picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Huh? Online version? The price may be cheaper, but it's not convenient, right?" Xu Jie wondered.

Shang Haozhi mentioned this model in the meeting, but he was not optimistic about it.

Compared with magazines, the online version does have its own advantage-cost. It is equivalent to saving the printing house and travel expenses.

But there are disadvantages to doing so. It doesn’t feel as good as a magazine in the end when viewed on a computer. Moreover, once readers accept this approach, bookstores and printing houses are estimated to be dangerous.

"By the way, is Teacher Zuo in trouble?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"Bringing a daughter is really difficult. However, the daughter is very sensible, and "Mountain God" also alleviates the crisis of Zuo Teacher." Xu Jie sighed.

Both Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei were helpless. Although they wanted to help, they couldn't take the initiative to intervene. Unless Xu Jie asked them to help, it would be equivalent to not believing in Xu Jie's abilities.

Editors also have dignity.

"Your responsibility is great." Wang Wenhong sighed.

Xu Jie nodded, "I know, that's why I want to help Teacher Zuo as much as possible to publish the short story again. If the grades are good, I might be able to serialize it."

"You have confidence in this short story," Jian Xiaomei said.

"All right?" Xu Jie rubbed his nose, "If I can use my strength to help Teacher Zuo, it will be the biggest reward for me."

The ability to change the life of the author should be the greatest achievement of every editor in charge, right?

Yan Fei knows Xu Jie's feelings very well, and can only nod slightly, "Come on."

"Well, it will." Xu Jie put the name in the file rack, quietly waiting for the group leaders to come back.

...

Shang Haozhi originally wanted to discuss web comics with Bao Jiyi, but Bao Jiyi directly threw the matter to him.

"You are responsible for this matter from the beginning. Even if you call me, I am useless. Besides, I don't have so much time to deal with this matter. I am optimistic about you, but I have to remind you to hurry up." Bao Jiyi He patted Shang Haozhi on the shoulder with a relaxed look.

He didn't have time, but completely delegated authority in this matter.

After all, no one can tell what web comics will look like in the future, and it is still in the groping stage.

In particular, the issue of how to balance charges has caused many people a headache.

If the price is set low, the cartoonist’s income will suffer. If the price is too high, readers will not buy it.

Now I can only go one step at a time.

This is why Shang Haozhi called out the deputy editor and the three team leaders separately. The plan has not yet taken shape, and there is no need to involve more people.

"This is the list of the first batch of electronic comics I gave you. There are a total of fifty. This batch of comics is about 20 years away. Many of the paper versions are lacking. The following form is for me to ask the sales department. Basically, every single book of comics has a certain number of missing data. However, the original version is still in our hands. There is no big problem in reviving these comics.

"At the time, these comics were very famous. Some comics are not even worse than "Killer's Diaries", I think I can try them."

The other four editors all worked for a long time and were very familiar with the comics on the list. They were indeed a smash hit at the time.

"These comics are quite famous, but are the styles of some comics a bit old?" Zeng Yue questioned.

"Therefore, there will be classifications and old-style comics, which will be turned into a nostalgic zone. People who saw these comics at that time were all about the same age as us. If they can see these comics again, can they also think of their youth? ?? Moreover, it has been 10 or 20 years, and some plots have been forgotten. At this time, the online version is launched, which is likely to arouse their interest."

"It's true that when people get older, they will think about things when they were young." Jia Hui talked.

Among these people, he is the oldest, so he feels the most.

"If the senior management agrees, we can proceed immediately and sign an electronic contract with the author." Shang Haozhi took the pen and recorded the main points in his notebook.

"But... Isn't it too fast? Maybe web comics won't become mainstream?" Li Junwen asked.

"I had the same idea with you, but after I went online, I realized that I was wrong." Shang Haozhi sighed, "There are already web comics on the Internet."

"what?"

The three of Zeng Yue made surprise sounds at the same time, and then suddenly realized.

"Editor-in-chief, are you talking about piracy in District 11?"

Even if the Huaxia in this world attaches great importance to copyright, there will still be fish that slip through the net.

In fact, not only China has this problem, but also in District 11. Otherwise, "Soul of the Game" would not reach District 11 at that time, let alone the country of Han. "Soul of the Chess" has never been sold in han country, but readers of han country can't miss it.

"No~www.wuxiaspot.com~ These comics are actually comics serialized on forums. According to the news I got from diving in these forums, these cartoonists were originally fan authors, but you also know that fan authors sometimes change Desire to be recognized, and because they also have their own jobs, it is impossible to be full-time, so they draw more than ten or twenty pages a month and post them in the forum for everyone to read.

"Because these people have problems with their basic skills and there is no editing guidance, the plot will also tend to be off the track. Sometimes, in order to attract readers' attention, they may even take the risk and draw the content of the line. But I have to say Such forums have gradually increased, and there has also been a certain audience of readers. To be honest, I suspect that the decline in magazine sales has a certain relationship with the rise of forum comics."

"Why? You also said that these comics have content problems, why do they affect the sales of our magazine?" Jia Hui was puzzled.

"It's very simple, because these comics serialized in the forum are free, and at most you will need some forum currency." Shang Haozhi explained.
