Chapter 392: Creation and Interaction
, comics, TV series, movies, games...
One of the functions of these contents or works is to kill time, and there is a certain degree of exclusivity among them.
It has nothing to do with whether the reader has enough funds, because any one person only has 24 hours in a day.
When it is used, if it is occupied by comics or games, then this part of the time will be reduced.
Taking comics alone, is each magazine really competing which magazine sells more and which comics are more popular with readers?
On the surface, this is indeed the case, but under the condition that the readers' financial ability allows, the competition between different magazines or comics is actually "grabbing" readers' time.
A person can buy enough comics at the same time, but within a certain period of time, what a person can do is extremely limited. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Now, the Internet provides free comics, and readers can read different kinds of stories with just one click of the mouse without leaving home. In terms of seizing time, it took the lead.
"However, the comics created in this way are inferior to our professional comics in terms of drawing skills and content. Just like "Steel Refining", those online authors should not be able to draw it?" Zeng Yue said in a deep voice .
"Of course, "Smelting Steel" has been approved by the editorial department of "Youth 1eap."
So far, only "Steel Refined" has done it in domestic comics.
"Although the level of those online works is uneven, there is one advantage that magazines cannot match." Shang Haozhi explained.
"Have it?"
Li Junwen couldn't believe it.
No matter how you look at it, comic magazines should have an advantage. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Funding, resources, contacts... If the grades are good, even a booklet can be published. The comics posted on the forum certainly cannot do this.
"Interaction. In the forum, the interaction between readers and authors is real-time, but we still need to forward letters from readers to authors. If the author replies, it may take some time before readers receive a reply.
"When readers find that their doubts and questions can be quickly answered by the author, they will inevitably have a good impression of the author in their hearts. Love the house and black, and then pass this good impression to the works. At the same time, readers can also have a good impression of a certain person. A question, discuss it. That’s something magazines don’t have.”
Hearing Shang Haozhi's words, the other four fell silent immediately.
The phenomenon Shang Haozhi mentioned is indeed possible.
A reader who writes a review looks forward to interacting with others, and it would be great if the author answered it himself. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
The web allows authors to respond in real time, but magazines do not.
"Then...we also let the author go online to answer readers' questions regularly." Li Junwen asked rhetorically.
"Just kidding." Jia Hui knocked on the table, "The pressure of the author itself is great. Just like Mr. Wang Yunze, who works 16 hours a day, if he still takes a fixed time to answer readers' questions, he will collapse. Even It's only one hour, and I hope Teacher Wang is resting instead of answering readers' questions."
It's a fact that what cartoonists lack the most is time to sleep.
"What Lao Jia said is second to none. The Internet has the advantages of the Internet, but the magazine is not without advantages." Zeng Yue explained, "We have a group of very professional cartoonists who can help the author sort out the plot and ensure the integrity of the work. sex."
Speaking of editing, the five people who were doing it couldn't help but raise their mouths. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
"As Lao Zeng said, our advantage lies in editing, and, according to my long-term diving observation, the interaction is not always beneficial." Shang Haozhi said in a deep voice.
"Um?"
The four looked at Shang Haozhi puzzled.
Shang Haozhi opened the notepad and found the summary he made before.
"Interaction is two-sided. From the reader's point of view, interacting with the author is of course very happy, but from the author's position? In case the reader's well-intentioned opinions and suggestions conflict with the name, will he accept it? Or not to adopt it? If adopted, what about the name and outline? And if not adopted, the author will always think about this matter: What if I didn’t draw this plot and he didn’t read this comic?
"Of course, those fans or amateur cartoonists on the forum who have other jobs may accommodate these readers, but professional cartoonists cannot. How many of the readers agree with these suggestions. If the people who hate to see the plots of these comics don’t speak out, but the author follows the advice and draws those plots, won’t readers still be lost? Even more will be lost.&1t ;i>&1t;/i>
"In addition, there is another situation. When the opinions of two readers are completely opposite, how should the author choose? If the author is thinking about these issues all day long, what should he do when creating? The interests of magazines, game companies, and animation companies, and Who is in charge?"
The conference room fell into silence, and the four of them lowered their heads in silence.
The form of serial comics on the forum made them a little confused, and they couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.
"We have our model, and they have their way. That's why I want to use these comics to explore the way." Shang Haozhi said.
His purpose is clear. In the final analysis, it is to prepare first, in case the web comics really develop in the future, they will not be unprepared.
That's fine too.
The others nodded slightly.
"So, everyone is brainstorming, how can we make web comics profitable?" Shang Haozhi looked at the other four people, but noticed that their brows were frowning.
If you don't care about these things, it's really hard to think of a solution in the first place, and the atmosphere in the meeting room becomes stiff.
At this moment, everyone's mobile phone made a ding-dong sound.
Shang Haozhi glanced at the mobile phone on the table, it was the 35th issue of the small book.
In his impression, this issue, "The Legend of the Dragon King" performed well, and "Game" was also a big hit. Originally, "Steel Refined" could also hit the top few places, but due to the emergence of the synthetic beast plot, it is estimated that the ranking will be a few times lower position, the top five may not be able to keep it.
Fortunately, he delayed the sale of the booklet by two weeks.
Shang Haozhi was thinking about this matter in his mind, but subconsciously clicked on the email with his fingers.
First place "The Legend of the Dragon King", 5o5 votes, second place "game", 500 votes...
5 votes short, otherwise "game" would be number one...
Shang Haozhi continued to look down, the third place, "Hunting Abyss"... and "Smelting Steel"! ?
Seeing "Steel Refining", which was tied for third place, Shang Haozhi was taken aback and looked up at the others.
The expressions of the others were different, but without exception, the ranking of "Smelting Steel" also exceeded their expectations.
