Transformed into a comic book artist

In the eyes of many senior editors, whether a novel or comic can attract people at the beginning depends on whether the novel or comic is interesting or not. Other than that, it is empty.

Because it is interesting, it can attract readers to read on.

Comics or novels like "The Book of Life and Death" that start with a high point are very rare, because such novels or comics have extremely high requirements for the following plot. If they cannot attract readers in the later stage, it will cause readers to become mentally fatigued, which is fatal.

Fortunately, the plot of "The Book of Life and Death" is advancing all the way, but it is tight and exciting, making readers look forward to the reasoning duel between the two protagonists.

But "The Book of Life and Death" is just an example, and it is difficult for a second one to be comparable.

"Your Name" is more like a normal comic. The rhythm of the first episode is brisk, and the portrayal of the heroine is also very obvious.

In addition, the plot is very interesting, so Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it is only the first episode. Although it is a short story, the rhythm is fast enough. The first episode was not boring and attracted him, so it was obvious that "Your Name" had taken the first step to success.

As for whether it could become popular, it would depend on the subsequent plot. He could not be sure that this comic would become popular just by one episode when the plot just unfolded.

But Zhao Jing knew that "Your Name" would definitely not fail, unless the plot collapsed later. However, according to Su Xian'er, "Your Name" was a short pure love story, so the possibility of plot collapse could be basically ruled out.

The other party could even control the plot of "Book of Life and Death". Pure love stories with simple story lines were naturally easy to handle, but the current body exchange plot was difficult to become popular, so we had to see if there would be more outstanding plots later.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing turned to the book review section of "Your Name". After all, although he was sure that it would not fail, he also had to see the readers' reactions.

And with just one glance, Zhao Jing knew that "Your Name" would not fail.

"I thought the book was going to fail, but the plot was actually quite interesting!"

"I think I already know the subsequent plot. The hero and heroine should agree on a time to meet, and then they will live happily together, right?"

"The above person underestimated the princess's intelligence. How could the princess draw such a vulgar plot?"

"Did you notice the meteor on the opening color page? It feels like a foreshadowing, and the comics also mention meteor showers."

"I searched Kuchikamizaku on Baidu and opened the door to a new world!"

"Pfft, on the last page, Sanye saw the hero's black flame dragon, right? The reaction was so cute 23333..."

Although there were no comments expressing excitement, Zhao Jing was still relieved. This was only the first episode, so the plot could only be guessed, but there were no negative reviews, which meant that readers recognized the first episode very much.

When Jiang Xinran's "One Hundred Days of Breaking Up" was released, although there were no negative reviews, the popularity of the comment section was not as high as Su Xian'er's. It was not until the plot developed to a certain extent, coupled with the publicity, that the book review section was very lively now.

Dong Dong Dong!

"Please come in!"

"Editor-in-chief, the statistics are out." Luoyang said happily as soon as he entered the door, "According to the staff's statistics, more than one million accounts viewed "Your Name" in half an hour, and about 970,000 readers clicked "Follow the update". It is now 12:30 noon, and many people are still at work or school, so the number of viewers will reach a peak in the evening."

After all, a week ago, Su Xian'er said on Weibo that she wanted to draw pure love, so after a week of fermentation, basically everyone in the comics industry knew about it, so there were one million readers watching it within half an hour of its release.

Zhao Jing was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment, "Really?"

He looked at the comments and found that the readers' reaction was not enthusiastic, or it was weaker than the reaction of "Book of Life and Death". But now the readers who follow the update that Luoyang said accounted for more than 95%?

He naturally knew what this meant. This meant that more than 95% of people only clicked "Follow the update" because they liked to read it. At that time, as long as Su Xian'er updated the second episode, the message background would immediately prompt.

And this situation shows that "Your Name" has been successful and has become popular.

"What was the half-hour data of "One Hundred Days of Breaking Up"?" Zhao Jing thought about it and was a little confused about this situation, because there was no phenomenon of explosion in the comment area.

"The half-hour data of "One Hundred Days of Breaking Up" was 200,000 readers, and the number of people who "followed the update" was about 80%." Luoyang was very calm and smiled, "The staff has analyzed the situation of "Your Name". The reason why Master Jiang's data was not as good as Miaobi Teacher in the early stage is that most people in the comics industry today are fans of Miaobi Teacher, and many people are attracted by "Book of Life and Death", so they naturally support Miaobi Teacher's new comics!"

"In other words, this situation is a false impression?"

"No, no, no, editor-in-chief, you still don't understand what I mean." Luoyang knew that Zhao Jing was very confused, so he explained, "This situation is indeed the fan effect of Miaobi Teacher before. Because there are more fans than Master Jiang, so Miaobi Teacher naturally beats Master Jiang in the early stage, but this kind of comparison is not comparable in the early stage, but this is not a false impression!"

"We had a small meeting just now with a few editors. According to the results of the discussion, it is because there are too few comics above the current standard in the comics industry. The readers who are attracted by Miaobi Teacher's "Book of Life and Death" are still not interested in comics like this. The genre is very interesting, but when these readers see comics that are all about muscle style, they naturally have no interest, so readers are in urgent need of comics with normal style to satisfy their craving.”

"So "One Hundred Days of Breaking Up" appeared at this time..." Zhao Jing suddenly said, "No wonder "One Hundred Days of Breaking Up" is so popular now..."

"That's right, it's good to have a demonic outlook. There are still very few normal style paintings, so as long as the plot is not bad, they will basically not be popular. Now many cartoonists have seen this phenomenon and are drawing new comics. But compared to the entire comic industry, there are still too few, so Master Jiang's comics and Teacher Miaobi's new works will have this phenomenon, because the quality of the two is guaranteed." Luoyang Yueran said, "It's just me. I didn’t expect that the number of people who were “following the update” for the first episode of “Your Name” would reach over 95%, which means that many readers like this comic.”

"Then what will happen if you say "Your Name"?" Zhao Jing thought of the animated movie proposed by Su Xianer at this time, and his heart moved slightly.

"This is exactly another situation I want to report to you." Luoyang smiled slightly, "The two colorful pictures at the beginning of "Your Name" and the beginning of the text on the first page gave readers a suspense. With the support of this suspense, then In addition, the bodies of the male and female protagonists have traveled through time respectively, which brings the suspense to a climax. The first chapter of Teacher Miaobi ends exactly when the female protagonist time travels into the male protagonist's body, so readers are most curious at this time, and they naturally want to Watch the latest episode!”

"And I just watched it. The plot of the first episode is tight and relaxed. Whether it's the meteor shower broadcast on TV, the appearance of Sanye's father, or even the chewing of wine, it should be foreshadowing."

"Yes, excellent cartoonists generally don't draw redundant pages, let alone compact short stories... At this point, I am very optimistic about Teacher Miaobi. The current plot of "Book of Life and Death" can be seen as average, and the two protagonists' The reasoning showdown is tense and suffocating, not to mention that "Your Name" is a short story of pure love, so Teacher Miaobi must have nailed the plot."

"I didn't believe in Teacher Miaobi before, but now it seems that I was wrong... The quality of the first episode of "Your Name" is obviously beyond the standard." Saying that, Zhao Jing hesitated, "In this way... I heard Teacher Miaobi said that she wanted to At the speed of two episodes a week, "Your Name" will be serialized in one month. Next, you will have someone record the data trend of "Your Name" and report it to me once a day. This is related to an important decision of Tencent Animation."

"OK!"
