Chapter 464 Case report competition 3
Neon Country has proven through decades of market experience that comics must be in black and white.
Color comics are a huge challenge for reducing costs.
Unless it is like now, it no longer focuses on originality and becomes an assembly line product.
It is not easy for Shen Pan to persevere in such an environment.
When the first volume was signed, she was happy for a long time. However, the bloody reality is that the overall market for original comics is not good, and there are very few paying users. Although the payment rate and reading conversion rate of her works are very high, the readers' The overall base is small. When I first started charging, dozens of dollars a month were too much.
Later, the income of one or two thousand a month was only after the completion, and the operator carried out the completion promotion, and then there was some considerable income.
After the promotion period ended, the income fell to the bottom again.
Although this work did not make much money, it at least proved that there was an audience for this story, so the editor asked her to open the second volume as soon as possible to seize the remaining heat and maybe earn more.
From the perspective of story integrity, which author doesn’t want his work to be perfect?
But there is no money.
If the first volume ends here, Shen Pan's income will end here. If he opens another volume, it will continue to withstand the test of the market, and there is no guarantee that it will achieve the same results as the current one.
The author is also a human being, he also has to eat, and he also has to weigh the pros and cons.
It is not as simple as it seems on the surface whether to cut readers' leeks or not.
For an online comic author, making money and surviving are the most important things to consider.
Even if the plot does drag on later.
If readers don't like this book, they can read other books, but the author can only stick to this book and work hard to achieve results.
No matter how the plot develops later on, at least it was drawn stroke by stroke by Shen Pan and what she racked her brains to come up with.
The second volume has been going back and forth for several months, and Shen Pan just turned in the content of the first chapter some time ago.
She also spent time and energy on the content of this sentence.
Zhou Mo couldn't understand, she wasn't a ghostwriter and she didn't plagiarize, so why was she so harsh?
As Shen Pan said, it's just entertainment, don't go online to the point where you need to discuss the value.
All in all, this is just a way out for Shen Pan. She does not want to become a world-famous cartoonist. She needs to be picked and polished to polish her works and win some awards.
She just wants some income.
Those who say "point out shortcomings, give suggestions, and help you improve" are even more ridiculous.
Zhou Mo said under that comment: It's okay to point out shortcomings. Send me your address and contact us offline. Let's discuss it offline. I can treat you to a meal, including food and accommodation. Please don't be a teacher online. Or , if you really want to do good for this work, you can send a private message, there is no need to point it out in public. Just ask, if you want to give opinions to people in real life and find faults, would you do it in public? Do you not like a person? Man, would you point your finger at others and scold them in real life? How come you don’t know how to respect someone when you are on the Internet? You are really a typical example of “submissive in real life, but aggressive on the Internet”.
Others said: I’ll just comment, why, you can’t even comment?
Zhou Mo: No one prevents you from commenting, but the premise of your speech should be mutual respect, rather than speaking arbitrarily with offensive words.
Shen Pan was so angry that he got sprayed when he was sprayed, but there was no reply. Zhou Mo couldn't swallow this breath.
He refuted the remarks that attacked Shen Pan again.
Zhou Mo's comment "I want to be a father without spending money, I want to eat shit" was pinned by Shen Pan.
There are the most comments and the most controversy underground.
Zhou Mo saw hundreds of comments and was too lazy to read them one by one.
Whether the author or the reader, their status is equal, no one is higher than the other.
If you want to see it, you can see it and welcome me with open arms. If you don't want to see it, you can leave as you please.
There is no need to assume a condescending attitude, say offensive things without realizing it, and regard yourself as the infallible truth.
After talking to a lot of people, the game has not been downloaded yet.
Zhou Mo remembered that when he first started playing King of Kings, it was only a few hundred megabytes, but now it's several gigabytes. It's really slow.
The bedroom door was pushed open, and Han Chen leaned in, "What are you doing?"
"Let's play a game. Shen Pan and Song Yan invited me to play games together." Zhou Mo turned around and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. You're not used to it, so I just wanted to see what you were doing."
He came to the bed and sat down, looking at the phone interface where Zhou Mo was downloading the game.
"Have you finished practicing?" Zhou Mo asked.
"No."
"Huh?" Zhou Mo was surprised, "It's not over yet, why don't you continue?"
Han Chen lay down with her, put his hand on her lower back, and hugged her, "If you want to know what you are doing, come in and take a look and then leave."
Zhou Mo was made to laugh, "Do you want to take one look and leave? You're already lying with me."
Han Chen smiled and wanted to rub her hair, but she had a shower cap on her head.
"Why isn't your hair dry?"
"It's not easy to dry it with direct blowing. You have to blow it for a long time, and then blow it again, and it will dry quickly."
"I'll help you blow it," Han Chen suddenly suggested.
"No need," Zhou Mo said, "Go and do your own business. You said you wanted to win a prize in this competition, and I've even thought of what prize to give you."
Han Chen tilted his head and had time to ask: "What prize?"
Zhou Mo deliberately kept it secret and kept it secret.
Han Chen: "Is that what Shen Pan said last time?"
Zhou Mo: "What? What did Shen Pan say?"
Han Chen took out his mobile phone and showed Zhou Mo the chat history.
Zhou Mo glanced at him and pushed Han Chen, "What are you thinking!"
Han Chen was referring to the last time she asked Shen Pan for a certain treasure account, and Shen Pan mistakenly thought she was going to secretly buy a "love account" behind Han Chen's back.
"Hurry up and rehearse!" Zhou Mo sat up, grabbed Han Chen's arm, picked him up and pushed him out of bed.
Han Chen was a little reluctant, "Tell me secretly, what kind of prizes have you prepared?"
Zhou Mo: "They say it's a secret, won't you know it when you win the game?"
Han Chen: "Then what if I can't win? No prizes?"
Zhou Mo thought for a moment: "It doesn't seem to matter. Don't worry, I'll give you the award as if you didn't win."
Han Chen leaned forward and kissed Zhou Mo's cheek lightly, "My wife is the best."
Zhou Mo's heart fluttered slightly, "Let's go quickly."
Han Chen reluctantly left the bedroom.
Seeing him leaving, Zhou Mo lay down on the bed again.
The game has been downloaded, Zhou Mo logged in to his account.
Because she hadn’t played it for a long time, as soon as she went online, a lot of rewards popped up for her to collect.
Zhou Mo received them one by one.
Then I clicked on the game friends list and found that Shen Pan was in the game.
She sent a private message: Stop pulling me.
She hasn't played in a long time, and she doesn't know many of the new heroes online.
Just click on the hero list to get familiar with it.
Chapter completed!
