My Cartoonist Strategy

Chapter 624 Difficulties and Costs

"Brother, I'm cooking, or are you chatting with Brother Wang and Sister Yan?" Xi Muhan, wearing an apron, holding a spatula, said to Shen Xin who had just come down from the upstairs.

"Well. You're busy first." Shen Xin responded.

He had already said to Wang Wenhong what he should say, but Wang Wenhong had not resigned yet, so he could not confess it all. Now he can only leave Wang Wenhong and then go on a big fight.

There are still plenty of opportunities in the Internet age.

"By the way, what are the magazines doing now?"

"Still busy with comic heaven." Yan Fei sighed. "That website is really too arrogant, saying too much..."

"Is it a comic heaven tweet? It should be well refuted." Shen Xin recalled.

At first glance, the four tweets seemed reasonable. In fact, Manga Paradise used the technique of stealing beams and changing columns.

Whether it is a library or a bookstore, the so-called "free" has restrictions.

First, whether it is a bookstore or a library, their "free reading" has a time limit.

It’s okay for a person to spend half an hour or an hour in a bookstore reading comics for free.But if he stays in the bookstore for 10 hours a day, the store manager must have opinions for a few days.

Books borrowed from the library have a date of return, and there is no saying that a book can be borrowed for life—unless you use a borrow card to knock it out.

This is a far cry from the free comics touted by Comic Heaven.

Secondly, there are restrictions in other areas.Generally speaking, it is impossible for readers to take books away from bookstores without purchasing them. This is a "location restriction".Although the library has no restrictions on the location, the number of books borrowed by each person is limited, and beyond the limit, there is no way to continue to borrow.

The most critical point is also the most easily overlooked.Whether it is a bookstore or a library, their "free reading" is a "one-to-one" relationship, that is, a book, corresponding to a reader.But comic heaven is "one-to-many", which allows a comic to be read by countless people at the same time.

The bookstore provides one-to-one reading to promote sales and discover potential customers; the library provides one-to-one reading, on the one hand, it is convenient for citizens to learn knowledge, on the other hand, the library buys books, and pays the publishers for the book. Fees are like buying a book and lending it to a friend.This is not the case with Manga Paradise, which does not provide corresponding remuneration to publishers or platforms.

What's more, Manga Paradise itself is a D version of the website and should not be advertised.

It is said that free comics can allow readers to better understand the authors and promote their works, but the concern of 99% of cartoonists is not to let more people understand their works, but to survive first.

In addition, it is basically impossible for the platform to provide free reading, because of the cost.

Regardless of a single-page draft of 100 yuan, or a single-page draft of seven or eight hundred yuan, the magazine has to pay the cartoonist, this is not a small expense; buying book numbers, printing, shipping, advertising, this is also a cost; As for the remuneration of editors, the remuneration of other employees is also the same.

But Manga Paradise doesn't need to consider these, as long as there are a few advertisements, in addition to paying for the server, there is a surplus.

Therefore, the cost is different. Of course, Manga Paradise can make free comics, but the magazine can't.

As for some websites that provide free videos, unless they are moving, many of them are losing money.

Shen Xin is clear about these reasons, but some people are very easy to be emotional.

"You are not going to refute?" Yan Fei asked.

Shen Xin shook his head, "I don't plan."

"A lot of people are waiting for you?" Yan Fei took a breath and couldn't understand Shen Xin's approach.

"To refute this kind of thing, ordinary cartoonists can do it, as long as they have reason and persuasion, they can convince each other. For me, the effect is not good. And, my arm is still hurt?" Shen Xin smiled bitterly.

He was an online author before crossing,

Yan Fei held her forehead by hand, she took it too for granted, and forgot Shen Xin's arm was injured.

"As many people like a work, as many people hate a work. I just say whatever I want, and I will attract many people who hate "Steel". At that time, I can't do it if I want to get out. Don’t need these heats, it’s better to conceive the lower comic while taking a break."

It is important to oppose the D version, and if he is required to speak, he will do it.However, to write these rebuttals, to be honest, everyone writes the same.

If there are some things that must be done by him, of course he is obliged. This is not the case at present.

Compared with writing rebuttals, his attitude is more important, as long as he is on the right schedule.

Against the D version, the author's power is actually very limited. What really needs to be relied on is the law and the union of various magazines.

"Does the lower comics have ideas?" After becoming Shen Xin's editor, Yan Fei naturally cared about his comics.

"I'm not sure yet...you say, how do you feel about drawing a cartoonist-oriented work?" Shen Xin thought for a moment and said casually.

His recent experience touched him a lot. UU reading www.uukanshu.com subconsciously thought of "Dream Eater".

"Based on your experience?" Yan Fei was stunned and shook his head quickly. "No, it's too cold."

Is "Dream Eater" cold?

Hmm... let's be cold, on average, there are one million volumes in a single volume.Say not cold, quality and sales are not proportional.

When I painted "Dream Eater", Kotama Ken and Oda thrush were already very famous. Even so, it could only keep "Dream Eater" at a good sales.

Is the quality of Dream Eater good?

Shen Xin can pat the chest and say that it is a rare boutique.

In his understanding, "Dream Eater" is also a kingly comic, hard work, friendship, and victory, there is no shortage of some elements, but like "Chess Soul", "Dream Eater" is based on comics, it is still too small Before the serialization, some readers were automatically removed.

Therefore, Yan Fei's worries are not unreasonable.

Shen Xin nodded slightly and put "Dream Eater" down temporarily.

"By the way, how does the magazine prepare to deal with the D version of the incident? It has been so long after this incident, should the magazine be taking action?"

Shen Xin pulled the topic back to version D again.

"How can it be so simple?" Wang Wenhong sighed, "I have said before that the comic heaven's server is overseas, and it is difficult for magazines to have a very good solution."

"What should I do?" Shen Xin asked back.

"Prepare to join the "Comicist Association", and each platform will contribute funds. Please invite the "Comicist Association" to work around. At the same time, the major platforms will cooperate with relevant national agencies to block the comic forum app and block their news on the search engine."

"Should it be resolved soon?"

"How can it be so fast?" Wang Wenhong shook his head. "There are a lot of troubles, and it will take a week or two at the fastest." 8) More exciting novels, welcome to visit everyone's college
