Rebirth of Entertainment Global

Chapter 235 Four Comics
Generally speaking, when cartoonists publish comics, they first serialize them in paper magazines, and then decide whether to release a single book according to the market response. The next step is to create an IP industry chain such as animation, games, film and television, and peripherals.

With the development of society and the progress of the times, web comics have also emerged as the times require, which also gives the majority of comic lovers a chance to become cartoonists.

In short, web cartoonists, like web writers, have a lower barrier to entry.

A low threshold does not mean that the ability to attract money is poor. Although web cartoonists are inferior to physical cartoonists in terms of status, web cartoonists who do well can earn more than [-] million yuan a year.

Of course, web cartoonists with an annual income of more than [-] million are always rare, but this has also inspired a large number of comic lovers to follow suit and strive to become the next web cartoonist with an annual income of more than [-] million.

The pyramid is not easy to climb, so let's be realistic. Xinman.com is affiliated with Shaoshuai Studio, and it is typical of rich and powerful, so don't worry that the website will default on the author's manuscript fee.

So far, Xinmanwang has a total of 242 serial works, of which more than half of the serial comics are buyout works.

Xinmanwang’s buyout price is 1500-15000 yuan/episode. Let’s calculate with the lowest buyout price of 1500 yuan/episode. If Xinmanwang’s 131 buyout comics are serialized once a month, then Xinmanwang will issue manuscript fees 19.65.

Unless a part-time cartoonist, or the kind of willful cartoonist who does not rely on manuscript fees to support his family, I believe there will be no buyout cartoonist who only serializes one episode of comics a month. On the basis of 19.65 yuan, the author's remuneration will be increased by five or six times.

At present, Xinmanwang already has a buyout cartoonist with a monthly income of more than [-] yuan. Not surprisingly, an annual income of more than [-] yuan is guaranteed. This income is not imaginary, but it is obvious to all.

In addition to buying out cartoonists, Xinmanwang also has contracted cartoonists, and this expenditure will never be less than 30 per month.

Xinman.com has a great reputation, which makes many new cartoonists ready to move, but Xinman.com does not have a zero threshold, so it refuses to push forward comics.

Because of this, after more than half a year of development, Xinmanwang has only just over 242 comics on the site, and only [-] serialized comics.

Since Xinman.com is a "new site", the comics being serialized are basically immature comics that have just broken ground, and people these days like to play fattening. Xinmanwang's monthly negative profit.

"Slam Dunk" was serialized online one issue later than the physical magazine, and "Slam Dunk", which has only been serialized to 23 episodes, is still in the public period, and its income depends entirely on rewards.

Like "Slam Dunk", the comics adapted from the novels of the same name "Legend of the Master" and "Katu" are still being serialized for free. Lin Tianbao plans to wait for the three comics to be serialized to 30 chapters before making arrangements for release.

Unlike novels, comics are updated weekly, no less than daily updates. Therefore, the serialization cycle of comics is longer than that of novels. Novels will grow fat after a few months, and comics will grow fat after several years. This is also new. Given the predicament Manwang is currently facing, how can it stimulate readers to consume?
With the profit of "New Animation Weekly" magazine, coupled with the strong backing of Young Marshal Studio, Xinman.com has been making negative profits for two or three years in a row. If Wang Neng fires up one or two comics, then everything will come back.

Take "Slam Dunk" as an example, which directly drove the sales of "New Anime Weekly" magazine, with a circulation of over 150 million copies. You must know that the magazine is a weekly magazine!
"Slam Dunk" is a big hit, will it still be a problem to release a booklet and animation production in the future?
Lin Tianbao doesn't care if Xinman.com is negatively profitable now, because he is fighting a protracted war and an IP war. The employees are different. The website is negatively profitable every month. This will make the employees lose confidence in the magazine, and the original enthusiasm for work It will also disappear because of this, which is why Lin Tianbao, the owner of the magazine, is not in a hurry, and Wan Ruida, a wage earner, is the first to be in a hurry.

Wan Ruida assisted Lin Tianbao in managing the magazine for more than half a year. During this period, the magazine's income was negative. The vice president Wan can be said to be a big man, and he was afraid that he would be fired suddenly one day.

The sales volume of "New Anime Weekly" magazine period exceeded 150 million copies, and the registered users of Xinman.com exceeded 300 million. Behind the great success was endless anxiety. Vice President Wan saw that Xinman.com had a monthly negative profit and lost his hair. How many.

Vice President Wan didn't want to report his worries at all, but he still bit the bullet and reported his worries. Paper can't contain the fire, and the website must find a new way out.

Xinman.com takes the route of high-quality comics. Of course, this high-quality comic is aimed at web comics, which is still far behind the works of famous comic artists.

Xinmanwang lacks cartoonists who carry the flag. In the future, Li Mingyang will count as one, but now he can only be regarded as a cutting-edge cartoonist who is very popular, and Xinmanwang only has Li Mingyang and "Slam Dunk", which is really difficult to support the facade. The president put forward a suggestion, either Xinman.com opens a high salary to poach well-known web cartoonists to station in the station, or Linda BOSS continues to turn stones into gold.

Isn't it the main comic?

This is definitely not a problem for Lin Tianbao, but wouldn’t it be too much for him to serialize super classic comics such as "Dragon Ball", "Reaper", "One Piece", "Naruto", and "Detective Conan" on the Internet? I am wronged by these comics. You must know that these comics are serialized in physical magazines, which will definitely create countless sales myths.

After Lin Tianbao hung up Wan Ruida's phone call, he kept burning his brain cells, thinking about which comics should be presented as the first batch of main comics on Xinmanwang?
A magazine and a comic can hold up half the sky, but they can't hold up a website. Lin Tianbao decided to come up with four or five sub-level comics that are equally classic but not as popular as "Dragon Ball" and other comics.

"Slam Dunk" became popular in basketball comics, and Lin Tianbao didn't plan to launch similar comics to compete with "Slam Dunk".

Basketball, soccer, tennis, tennis, volleyball, rugby...

Lin Tianbao doesn't consider any ball comics. It seems that "Soul of Chess" is good. Are the foodies of "China Little Master" blessed? "Inuyasha", no, before "Inuyasha", you can consider taking out another manga "Ranma 1/2" by the original author.

"Soul of Chess", "The Little Master of China", and "Ranma 1/2", there are already three comics, let's finally come up with a heavyweight reasoning comic!

How about "Kindaichi Case Book"?Although "Kindaichi Case Book" is far inferior to "Detective Conan" in terms of popularity, but in terms of reasoning cases, it is worse than "Detective Conan", but unfortunately it is inferior to "Detective Conan" in other aspects.

Even so, "Kindaichi Boy Case Book" is also a very classic reasoning cartoon.

Lin Tianbao did as soon as he thought of it, and immediately put it into practice. He wanted to get out the outlines and character designs of the four comics as quickly as possible.
