Reborn as an Internet cafe owner, lie down and enjoy life!

After all, comics and web novels are different.

Although the starting point VIP subscription costs money, the current pricing of the starting point is only 3 cents per thousand words.

Ordinary people can also consume, and it is not particularly expensive.

And the cost of comics is too high, several people together, a week to draw a word.

Even if someone pays, I am afraid that the price of a word must be set at at least five dimes to recover the cost.

Five dimes, doesn't sound like much.

But this little money is enough to buy two vegetable buns at a roadside stall.

Most of the Chinese people in this era have just broken through the subsistence line, and it is obviously unrealistic to ask them to consume any comics.

And it can't be like online games, the cost of a krypton guy can be worth thousands of ordinary users.

Coupled with the fact that it has been attacked by major media in previous years, the reputation of the entire comic book industry is not very good.

Labels such as spiritual opium and soft pornography on later games were attached to the comics at this time.

In the current mainstream vision, cartoonists are really sewer professions.

Not only is there not enough to eat, but the reputation is also poor....

Therefore, Wu Wenhui received the task of opening a comic section on the website.

I have always refused in my heart, and I don't pay much attention to this comic section.

At present, there is only one real original serial work in the entire starting point comic section.

That is the "Monster World" side, in order to improve the world view plot, launched the "Monster World: Hunter" comic.

Because the Monster World Division has money, "Monster World: Hunter" is created by them for more than 20,000 yuan a month and invited the well-known cartoonist Chen Xiang.

Don't think about revenue at all....

And the rest are some finished Japanese comics, and some old comics with low copyright prices.

Although Wu Wenhui is unwilling to invest money in comics, the starting point is a regular platform after all, and it is not enough to make direct piracy, which is such a tasteless thing.

This leads to the fact that the number of comics in the comic section is really small, and without works, there are naturally no users.

"That, Jiang Dong, I have already investigated the comics.

Comics can barely make some money as a magazine, if you make an online original platform, this has no hope of making money at all!

The pricing is low, and we can't make any money at all.

The pricing is high, and readers will go to pirate platforms 100%.

Wu Wenhui explained nervously.

From the beginning, he had no intention of developing any comics.

Now when I hear Jiang He mention it, I still feel a little panicked, after all, there is really no improvement on the comic side.

"Alas..." Hearing

Wu Wenhui say this, Jiang He sighed helplessly.

Due to the publicity of public opinion, the malice towards the ACG industry in China this year is too great.

Even Wu Wenhui, who is in the web novel industry, can't help but be biased.

"Not making money now does not mean not making money in the future, and the opening up of the industry always has to be done by someone."

Jiang He said slowly:

"In fact, whether it is an online novel or a comic, I didn't ask you to make money right away.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have acquired the starting point.

As for how to develop comics, you can start with adaptation, starting with excellent works, not just can be adapted into comics.

With the accumulation of the original, there is at least a loyal audience.

And once the comic is popular, it can feed back the novel and complement each other.

Saying that, Jiang He looked at Wu Wenhui with a smile.

Adapting web novels into comics?

Wu Wenhui gradually fell into deep thought.

Forehead...... This....

This seems to be a real mess!

Not seeking much money can at least increase the influence of that novel.

If the novel is adapted, it is a hit like "Ascending Dragon Road".

A little more investment is not impossible.

After all, it doesn't cost much to hire a cartoonist.

Novels changed to comics, and this industry is already very mature in the small days.

However, in China, it is still blank, and there is a bit of accumulation on the film and television side.

Thinking of this, Wu Wenhui couldn't help but nod and said:

"If you adapt a popular novel into a comic, it is indeed a good choice."

And the comics on the website accumulate to a certain extent, we can also acquire a magazine and publish comic magazines directly.

I believe that with a high-quality content market with a starting point, sales should not be too bad.

Through Jiang He's guidance, Wu Wenhui instantly thought of a new method.

If you can publish manga magazines, maybe comics can also make money.

In fact, there is still a market for comic magazines this year, after all, it is the golden age of print media.

It's just that although comics can make money, there has not been a magazine that can dominate the situation before 06.

The entire comic book market is currently very chaotic, coupled with the proliferation of piracy.

It often happens that cartoonists' submissions are not easy to publish, and as a result, the magazine directly closes down before the manuscript fee is paid.

In fact, there was once a top comic magazine, that is, the pioneer of the domestic comic industry - "Picture Book King".

It is generally called the king of painting, and the first batch of cartoonists in China are basically from this magazine.

It's just that because it is deeply caught in the soft public opinion storm, it has caused a huge social sensation, and it has no choice but to stop publishing.

After the suspension of "Picture Book King", the domestic comic market ushered in a dark age.

Countless cartoonists suffocating their dreams nestled in basements and living only on instant noodles.

There have even been times when they left this world because of chronic hunger, illness, and lack of money to treat them.

"Comic magazines can be obtained, but don't worry, train a group of cartoonists first."

Jiang He nodded and said.

Anyway, there are countless comic magazines that have closed down this year, and even if you buy one directly, the price is not expensive there.

And after so many years of development, there are already a group of cartoonists with good technology on the market, and it is not too early to enter at this time.

"Okay, I'll go back and arrange it."

Wu Wenhui said, got up and walked out of Jiang He's office.

......

With Jiang He's instructions, Wu Wenhui went back to have a meeting with the executives over there, and quickly went to meet the company's cartoonist named Chen Xiang.

For the comic book industry, he was biased before.

But if the comics section wants to adapt a novel into a comic, it needs to recruit cartoonists.

This is to talk to industry seniors like Chen Xiang.

"President Wu, why are you here?"

Chen Xiang, who had just finished drawing the manuscript, saw Wu Wenhui enter his office and asked with some doubts.

Although Chen Xiang drew the comics of "Monster World", the company Chen Xiang joined was Yuetian Culture.

However, due to his special status, Chen Xiang has no restrictions in the company, and Wu Wenhui is his top boss.

Seeing the nervous Chen Xiang, Wu Wenhui waved his hand and said

, "Don't be nervous, I just came to you to ask some questions about comics."

Hearing that it was about comics, Chen Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Comics

? You ask.

"Take it easy, recently the company has a plan to adapt the novel into a comic, I don't know if Mr. Chen can give a recommendation, and ask a few suitable cartoonists to come over."

Wu Wenhui smiled and said lightly.
