Rebirth of the Father of Anime

"This time, Chen Feng performed very well this quarter."

In the meeting room of Kunlun Publishing House, all department heads were present, and the president emphasized the Xiaorenshu editorial department led by Chen Feng.

"The "Elf Baby" villain book released this time has created unprecedented performance. So far, it has sold a total of 2.5 million copies..."

Chen Feng suddenly laughed and interjected: "Dad, this is the result of last week. The third batch of 2 million copies has also been printed, and now it has exceeded 3 million copies!"

The president nodded, and said: "Well, 3 million copies. There has never been a comic book in history that has sold such a high volume! Chen Feng has contributed a lot, and I propose..."

"Wait, President!"

Suddenly, a gentleman next to him who was about his age, about 50 years old, interrupted.

All eyes were on this man.

The president frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Li Qingyun, is there any question?"

Li Qingyun, editor-in-chief of traditional literature of Kunlun Publishing House, has a close relationship with many well-known writers.

"Chen Feng's achievements are truly unprecedented." Li Qingyun first affirmed Chen Feng's achievements. After hearing this, Chen Feng laughed triumphantly. In the past, his hometown always looked down on him, but now that he has to admit himself, Chen Feng is very happy.

"But..." Li Qingyun's tone changed in vain, and he even knocked hard on the table twice, "This book has a huge impact on us... If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be disastrous!"

The people around were either silent or discussing. Since the main business of the publishing house was novels, they paid little attention to comic books. Many people didn't know until they attended the meeting that their publishing house had published a novel that could sell 3 million copies. people book.

"The influence of comic books?"

"What is the effect?"

While being asked by others, Chen Feng, who was seated at the bottom seat, leaned back on the chair, looked at Li Qingyun contemptuously, and said, "Editor Li, I know you look down on me. But don't be alarmist. You are Tell me, how can this impact be unimaginable!"

Li Qingyun didn't even lift his eyelids, and said to himself: "There are rumors outside that our "Pokemon" is a copy of a work called "Pokemon". Do you think it is or not?"

Plagiarism!

The originally quiet meeting room exploded with a bang, and everyone asked each other about the details.

Everyone here is engaged in publishing, and they know how much plagiarism affects a publishing house: in this age where copyright is extremely important, once a plagiarism incident occurs, those well-known authors will definitely draw a line with the publishing house-no one likes it A publishing house that may plagiarize its own work to publish its own work.

When all the authors under him leave, the publishing house is not far from going bankrupt.

"Li Qingyun, the consequences of reckless slander are also very serious." The president looked serious, took a deep look at Li Qingyun, warned him, and then said to Chen Feng: "Chen Feng, please explain."

Chen Feng stood up, leaned on the table with one hand, patted his head with the other, and said, "Hehe, Editor-in-Chief Li, you really think that I, Feng Chen, have no brains? I grew up in a publishing house, how could I not know the risk of plagiarism?"

"Besides, if I really plagiarized? Then why didn't the author sue me? Instead, I allowed my "Elf Baby" to sell 3 million copies?" Chen Feng asked rhetorically,

While talking, he took out a stack of manuscripts and distributed a copy to everyone.

"This is our "Elf Baby", and the other one is Pokemon." After sending it out, Chen Feng returned to his seat and sat down: "The evidence is all in front of you, you can look at it casually to see whether I copied it or not." Plagiarism...hehe, if borrowing is considered plagiarism, then people all over the world should stop writing books, it’s plagiarism!"

Everyone picked up the sketches one after another. These editors are very good at playing around the edges, so it can be seen at a glance that although these look similar, if you look at them according to the corresponding regulations of the National Copyright Administration, they are indeed not plagiarism.

Some editor-in-chiefs also frowned. Although this kind of behavior was still shameful, after all, it was playing side-by-side. It was just a small book, and the influence was not big. Seeing that the president was his father, everyone kept silent.

Li Qingyun went through the two manuscripts, was silent for a moment, and asked again: "Since there is no plagiarism, why did you contact other publishers to block "Pokemon"?"

And this crop?

Others showed puzzled eyes, and the publishing house banned them. This is the treatment only given to some masters who have offended the publishing house!

If it is an ordinary author, without his own publishing house to promote and distribute, he will not even need to be banned, and he will disappear soon.

And a comic book, need to be so targeted?

Or is it just Chen Feng abusing his power and suppressing newcomers?

"Hehe, he originally came to our publishing house to submit an article, but he didn't accept the generous conditions we gave. Naturally, this kind of author with high eyesight and low abilities should give him a little color." Chen Feng felt disdainful, and probably took revenge. Kong Guangwen's final suggestion.

Many people curled their lips, obviously not believing it. Chen Feng was notoriously fond of oppressing authors, the remuneration he gave was extremely low, but the conditions were extremely harsh. That's why he was placed in the comic book department, otherwise, as the prince of the publishing house, even if he didn't take over the traditional literature, he would definitely go to the online novel department to practice.

"Just learning from it can sell well. I hope you can treat this person with caution, and at the same time calm down this turmoil as soon as possible. I don't want Kunlun's signboard to be smashed by you!" Li Qingyun stared at Chen Feng. He is also the veteran of Kunlun Publishing House after all. , it is not happy to be unhappy with Chen Feng, but he still attaches great importance to the interests of the publishing house.

Chen Feng suddenly smiled, revealing an extremely arrogant expression: "Careful? It's just an author of a comic book! Although that guy has set up a website and serialized it on the Internet, but without publishing channels, what can he afford? Serializing novels online Human books? Does he want to follow the route of serial subscription like online novels? Haha, joke! Who are all the people who read comic books? Children! Will you have the money and patience to subscribe to comic books?"

Chen Feng knew about He Chen's website a long time ago, and he downloaded and printed out the manuscript of "Pokemon" from there.

Many people nodded their heads one after another. Chen Feng's analysis was still in place. If money can be made from children, why is the market for comic books so sluggish? So that state subsidies can continue to work?

As for the big sale of "Elf Baby" this time, they only regarded it as a miracle. After all, there have been popular comic books before, but they will be nothing after that.

It is also because of this that people will completely abandon the children's market...there will be no money-making market, and ** will continue to do it!

At the same time, in He Chen's dormitory, He Chen, Zhou Zhe, and Luo Hao are also busy. Today their website will undergo a major revision!

"Luo Hao, what happened to the registration, comment, and top-up systems?"

Luo Hao made an OK gesture to He Chen, and said loudly: "No problem! It's fully connected!"

"Zhou Zhe, how is the reader's response?"

Zhou Zhe rubbed his eyes, stared at the website data, and reported to He Chen: "The number of registrations is gradually increasing, and it has exceeded 500!"

Traffic is far less intuitive than the number of registrations.

500 people... It's horrible!

He Chen thought about it, and then smiled confidently. It was much better than expected. He thought that only students from his sister's class would register. Apart from the person named What Time, without any advertisements or publicity, there were 500 people, which was already beyond He Chen's expectation.

After all, the game has not yet been launched, and the true charm of Pokemon has not yet appeared.

"The comment system is also well-received. Most people commented that it looks good, and hope the update will be faster. Some people leave messages to support us against Kunlun."

He Chen stood behind Zhou Zhe and watched. The number of people is still small now, and the comments under each comic can be read at a glance. It seems that everyone is very keen to discuss the plot directly under the comic without having to post it.

"What about the recharge system?" He Chen asked again.

"Safety issues, don't worry, there will be no bugs. However, so far, no one has recharged."

He Chen nodded. It's still a free stage, and there is no place for consumption on the website, so no one recharges.

Zhou Zhe turned around, looked at He Chen and said, "It looks like you want to learn about online novel websites?"

"Well!" He Chen said, "Of course we won't be free, otherwise what would we eat? We can't just rely on copyright to sell money every time, right? We must have our own income channels."

"Do you really think that someone will subscribe to comics online?" Zhou Zhe still had doubts in his heart.

He Chen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I just want to say two things: one, you underestimated the comics; two, you underestimated the child economy!"

Zhou Zhe was silent and did not comment on this: "Then how do you set the price?"

According to He Chen's vision, this won't be a website where he is the only one making comics, and more and more people will join the cartoonist industry in the future.

So a reasonable price is related to their future...

The price should not be too high, otherwise readers will not be able to afford it; but it should not be too low, otherwise no benefit will be seen, and no one will be willing to become a cartoonist.

"This can't copy the pricing of online novels. Novels only need to write the story, but comics need to be drawn. The effort is different between the two." Zhou Zhe thought for a while and added another sentence.

In the previous life comics, there was only one way to publish magazines, and each chapter was fixed at 19P to 24P. This is determined by considering the total number of pages of the magazine.

However, serialization on the website does not need to consider this item, so if it is pricing, you can consider learning the method of 1,000-word pricing in online texts, and set it on a per-page basis.

In the case of a cartoonist with an assistant, in addition to super big touches, maintaining weekly updates is the limit, so the minimum comic magazine is only weekly.

Due to He Chen's own differences, he cannot be used as a measure.

He has to consider other ordinary people. Under full-time conditions, he will update 20 pages a week, and set the price for the purpose of at least supporting himself.

He Chen thought for a while, and said, "5 points per page, and the publishing requirements, each chapter should not be less than 10 pages. The author gets 75%, and the website gets 25%... Let's set it like this for now."

According to the standard, it is about 1 yuan per sentence. A dollar a week is nothing to people nowadays! Then as long as there are 500 subscriptions, there will be 1,500 subscriptions every four months, and it will be no problem to feed yourself without being starved to death. If you add full attendance, then it is no worse than ordinary work.

This price was similar to what Zhou Zhe had in mind, so he nodded in agreement and asked Luo Hao to add this price into the VIP system.

In the evening, Dmfun's VIP system was officially launched, and "Pokemon" was launched!
