Chapter 134 Doujinshi and Bonus Pool
The restaurant Wang Wenhong led everyone to was called "Xiang Ke Ju". The name of the store sounded more elegant, and so did the decoration inside.
The waiter invited a group of people into the private room. After being seated, Shen Xin glanced at the order book, and then threw it to Gao Hang.
Gao Hang held the menu and said to the waiter beside him, "I want this... this... this..."
Shen Xin glanced at Wang Wenhong's feet, where there was a paper bag.
When Wang Wenhong came out of the bookstore, he kept carrying a paper bag, which was stuffed bulgingly, but others could not see what was in the bag.
After the waiter went out, Shen Xin asked Wang Wenhong, "Bian Wang, have you thought of any good ideas?"
"I have an idea, but I can't tell whether it's good or not. Listen to it and make a judgment." Wang Wenhong poured a glass of boiling water and took a sip.
"What idea?"
Wang Wenhong put the paper bag on the table and patted it twice, "Mr. Shen, just take a look at what's inside and you'll know."
Shen Xin was suspicious, and took the paper bag, it was quite heavy, it should be a magazine or a book.
After taking it out, it proved that Shen Xin's guess was correct, he glanced at the cover, his face tightened.
Yan Fei also leaned over, just took a look, and her cheeks turned red immediately.
"Wang Wenhong, you are disgusting." Yan Fei glanced at Wang Wenhong with contempt.
Wang Wenhong shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't collect these deliberately before. I just searched randomly yesterday, and there are so many."
The conversation between the two immediately aroused the curiosity of the three assistants.
Gao Hang looked at the booklet in Shen Xin's hand eagerly, with a curious look on his face.
Just as Zhou Yang stood up, Yan Fei immediately scolded him, "Sit down."
Turning around, Yan Fei said to Wang Wenhong: "Wang Wenhong, what do you want to do with so many 18x notebooks?"
18X
Zhou Yang scratched his head and laughed twice. Compared with everyone sitting here, he is indeed a bit young, not yet 18 years old.
Wang Wenhong sneered, "You only read the book. Didn't you see that this is the advantage of "Y's"?"
"The advantage is the 18X notebook?" Yan Fei sneered.
"Is it a fan?" Shen Xin speculated.
Wang Wenhong gave Yan Fei a white look, "Did you see it? Mr. Shen is more sure."
"Fellows?"
The three assistants said in unison.
"Whether Mr. Shen knows it or not, "Y's" has always been popular in fanzines. This is a 'feature' that no comic on the newcomer list has." Wang Wenhong said.
"Hehe... I'm not happy at all when you say that." Shen Xin felt an indescribable depression in her heart.
When "I"s" was on the earth, it was once the "hardest hit area" of the book. Masters such as Yue Qunzhen and Amano Amano all drew the "I"s" book. I didn't expect to come to this world and still be a in this way.
"There's no other way. I also wanted to find a copy of "Faltering", but I couldn't find one." Wang Wenhong was a little helpless.
"Then what do you mean? Do you want to use these books to make "Y's" compete with "Hunting Abyss"?" Yan Fei asked suspiciously.
"The derivatives of comics are usually divided into two parts. One is that the comics themselves can be used to create derivatives, such as "Abyss Hunting". Believe it or not, after the animation of "Abyss Hunting" is released, there will definitely be game companies buying copyrights , Second, it is the derivative products spontaneously made by fans, just like the doujinshi of "Y's". From this point of view, "Y's" has more advantages than "Hunting Abyss" and "Punishment". I have been to two At the fan fair in Hongcheon, "Y's" was very popular at the fan fair."
"Even if "Y's" has these advantages, what does that mean?" Yan Fei wondered.
"The more fan works of a manga,
That means it has a higher degree of adhesion. If you can use it, maybe it will help you. "
"Hey, Wang Wenhong, are you sure you didn't harm Mr. Shen? The 18X book will damage the reputation of "Y's"." Gao Hang shot up the table and shouted at Wang Wenhong.
Wang Wenhong ignored Gao Hang, and only stared at Shen Xin.
Shen Xin frowned slightly, lost in thought.
Wang Wenhong did provide a way of thinking, Shen Xin never thought about it before, but now when he heard Wang Wenhong mention it, a word suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Call for contributions from colleagues."
"Eh?" Yan Fei asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, we can call for papers." Shen Xin immediately looked at Wang Wenhong, "Is that what you mean?"
"Uh...you can think so if you want."
Wang Wenhong didn't think about soliciting papers, but wanted to stir up "Y's" among the fan community through doujinshi. This can save a lot of money, and the effect will be better, but the disadvantage, as Gao Hang said, will damage the "Y's".
In comparison, Shen Xin's approach is more formal.
"But in this way, there is also a shortcoming, which is the problem of participation. How to attract readers to doujin and "Y's", if you can't do this, even if you are soliciting papers for doujin, the publicity is hard to compare with animation. "Yan Fei pondered.
The waiters served the food one after another, but no one in the private room made a sound. This made the waiters wonder for a while whether these guys were bewitched by something evil.
Gao Hang swallowed his saliva and looked around at the people around him, only to find that everyone's eyes were on Shen Xin, so he had no choice but to endure the hunger in his stomach first.
During this period of time, he recalled various situations on the earth, and a word suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Have you heard of... the bonus pool?"
"Bonus pool?" Wang Wenhong was taken aback, a little confused.
Yan Fei shook her head again and again, this was the first time she had heard of the "bonus pool".
"To put it simply, it is to take part of the funds as the basic bonus first. The president assured me that the 500,000 bonus can be used, then we can use 500,000 or part of it as the basic bonus, and then, every time a booklet is sold , just put a dime or 20 cents into the bonus pool. This way readers can have a sense of participation. If one million copies are sold during the event, just the money put into the bonus pool will be worth 10 or 20 cents. Wan. For the fan author, this is also a big reward, right?"
Shen Xin thought a lot, and finally thought of the bonus pool.
Some games will give a basic bonus, and then a part of the proceeds will be drawn from the reader's consumption, put into the bonus pool, and together with the basic bonus, will be awarded to the winners as the final bonus.
Selling a copy of "Y's" Shen Xin only earned a little over one yuan, so a dime or two is not too little. And considering that the more the bonus, the greater the possibility of the cartoonist cheating, so the bonus must be set at a more reasonable amount.
Wang Wenhong was the first to understand, "It's a good idea, but it's better not to involve the whole people, but to invite big players from the same-human world, especially those 18x painters, and let them compete with each other."
"Why did you do that?" Gao Hang asked puzzled.
Wang Wenhong glanced at Gao Hang, "Of course they are gathering their popularity on "Y's"."
Yan Fei immediately took out a pen and paper, and memorized what Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong had said.
From the current point of view, this idea is very rough, but if it is carefully polished, it may be an excellent plan.
