Chapter 540 Troubled Tong Yu

This is a dialogue between two high-level executives of the company, so people in the office are very curious about what kind of "collision" will happen between the two people.

"Okay." Qian Sheng pulled the attention of these people back, "Don't think about what's there, start working!"

"oh!"

The people in the studio responded one after another, bowed their heads and continued to work.

Tong Yu and Yuan Zhe came to the coffee shop downstairs, which is regarded as a place for the company to rest, but it is working hours now, and no one comes here.

The two sat down at the round table next to the glass wall, and each ordered a cup of coffee.

"What's going on now? Why is "Age of the Gods" so much worse than "Smelting Steel"? The publicity is not in place?" Tong Yu asked.

This is what he cares most about. After all, he spent a lot of money on "Age of the Gods", and, from the current point of view, "Age of the Gods" is indeed the facade of Duoman.com.

"Mr. Tong, whether a work is good or bad has nothing to do with publicity. If a book is not good, then no matter how hard it is to promote it, it will eventually fail." Yuan Zhe said seriously.

"You mean Wang Yunze can't do it?" Tong Yu frowned.

"Mr. Wang and "Age of the Gods" are certainly fine. This can be seen from the gap between it and the third place "Sirius". Teacher Wang, a sword is not old."

"Then why did you lose to "Steel Refining"?" Tong Yu asked puzzled.

"President Tong..." Yuan Zhe took a deep breath and stared at Tong Yu, "Is it really so difficult to admit someone? Is there only one option of '"Age of the Gods" is too bad"? It can't be "Steel Refined" "Too good?"

"..."

Tong Yu's throat seemed to be stuck suddenly, he quickly picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"Recently, the most popular comic in District 11 is "Steel Refining". Isn't it surprising? The comic industry in District 11 is more mature than Huaxia, and the competition is no less than that of Huaxia. It is not enough to make so many readers pay attention to "Steel Refining" Question?"

"What do you mean?" Tong Yu originally wanted to get angry at Yuan Zhe, but let alone getting angry now, it would be cheaper not to be scolded.

"I heard that the price you offered Mr. Shen was 10,000 per page?" Yuan Zhe suddenly laughed.

"..."

Tong Yu rolled his eyes,

Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.

"Do you think it's enough now?" Yuan Zhe asked.

"Mistakes... I missed my eyes." Tong Yu said with a stiff neck, "When you buy cultural relics, you always miss your eyes, let alone people."

"Cultural relics are true or false, but people are not. People are only valuable or not. What I want to say is that Mr. Shen knows his own value better, so he will not talk to you until the conditions you give reach his bottom line. Talk." Yuan Zhe said angrily.

Tong Yu knocked on the table twice, "I didn't come here to be angry."

"I know, but I also want to speak my mind." Yuan Zhe took a long breath and picked up the coffee cup.

When Shen Xin debuted, he knew that at that "Comics Festival", Shen Xin had an absolute advantage over Ye Hexu - at that time, Ye Hexu's work was "Hunting Abyss". Still one of Comic Future's signature comics.

It's just that he didn't care at the time, which resulted in Shen Xin being poached by "Comic Future". When "Soul of Chess" was published, he knew it was too late.

Sure enough, after "Soul of Chess" ended, Shen Xin drew another "Smelting of Steel" that was even more popular than "Soul of Chess"...

It is true that Wang Yunze "conferred the gods with one book" by virtue of "The Legend of the Dragon King". But Shen Xin has also completed "Tu Shen" with three comics, and this is not an exaggeration.

"Now, even if you want to negotiate at a price of 30,000 per page, I'm afraid you have no chance." Yuan Zhe shook his head.

Tong Yu grinned.

As long as he asks for a price, "Comic Future" will definitely follow the price unconditionally.

The current situation in "Steel Refining" is no longer as simple as "The Legend of the Dragon King".

It is hotter than "The Legend of the Dragon King".

"What are you going to do now?"

"wait."

"Um?"

"Based on the current results of "Steel Refining", it is estimated that it will be popular for a long time. But there will be conflicts between the platform and the cartoonists."

"contradiction?"

"That's right. As the largest comic magazine in China, "Comic Future" has a great desire to control cartoonists. In fact, most companies also have this mentality. They don't want factors that are out of their control, and Mr. Shen stands At the peak of a cartoonist, he should not be willing to be inferior to others, unless one party makes concessions. In short, just wait slowly, hoping to have a chance."

This is the best way Yuan Zhe can think of at the moment.

Tong Yu knocked on the table twice, called the waiter, and ordered another cup of black tea.

His throat now seemed to have a fly in it.

"If what you said is true, then shouldn't we also be restricted by Shen Zheng?"

"We have two ways to go. First, find another Shen Zheng to prove that he is not the only one; second, if you can't find it, do you have a better way? Now is the Internet age, even if there is no platform, He only posted the comics on Weibo, and he still has influence."

Tong Yu thought about it, and Yuan Zhe was right.

The biggest problem for cartoonists to serialize individually on the Internet is funding. After all, it is not a small amount of income to pay assistants, but Shen Xin has no shortage of funds.

but……

"Isn't the first point you said the reason why we hold the 'Golden Paintbrush' award? As long as there is a 'Shen Zheng', we won't be afraid of him."

"When it comes to 'Golden Paintbrush,' I have two things to say."

"Um?"

"First, I suggest extending the award cycle so that you can have more time to observe the commercial value of the work. For example, every two or three years. As for the bonus, we can fix 10 million instead of vacancies."

Tong Yu nodded. He now also thinks that it only takes 7 months to judge a work, and the time is really too short.

"There is a second point." Tong Yu reminded.

"The second point is that someone has voted. On the last day, there was a work that received at least 10,000 votes. Since it is not clear whether that work also received votes before, it is impossible to determine its true score."

"Swiping the ticket?" Tong Yu was taken aback, he didn't expect the situation of swiping the ticket.

"In the opinion of many people, if you enter the top ten, you have half the chance to win the million dollar prize. This kind of investment is certainly worth it." Yuan Zhe explained.

"This is the first 'Golden Paintbrush'. If our attitude is not firm, it may lead to a lot of plots of swiping votes later... What do you think?"

"I have contacted the technical department, and basically the evidence is relatively solid. My opinion is that the entry qualification of the work will be disqualified." Yuan Zhe said.

"He is disqualified from the competition...and his work will never be accepted, and his author background is blocked." Tong Yu frowned.

"His work is not bad, I think it is a good work."

"If it's just some innocuous punishment, isn't the 'Golden Paintbrush' award a joke? We have actually invested money in it, and we want to make it the best comic award in China. Go in, is that fair to other cartoonists who didn't get tickets?" Tong Yu asked.

Kill chickens and monkeys...

Yuan Zhe immediately understood Tong Yu's thoughts.
