　　 Newcomer Award?

　　 Shen Xin was taken aback, then chuckled.

　　 "What's wrong?" Yan Fei asked in confusion.

　　 "Sister Yan, do you remember that when you called me on the first day of the Chinese New Year, there were some things I didn't have a chance to say?"

　　 At that time, something happened to "Toggle" and Shen Xin's attention also shifted to "Toggle".

　　 "I remember." After Shen Xin's reminder, Yan Fei immediately remembered, "Couldn't you mean that what you wanted to talk to me at the time was the'Newcomer Award', right?"

　　Shen Xin nodded slightly, "I saw Ye Hexu."

　　 "Huh? The author of "The Hunting Abyss"?" Yan Fei asked quickly.

　　 "Well. Then I talked to him for a while." Shen Xin explained.

　　 Xi Muhan brought two cups of coffee, placed them in front of them, and then sat quietly beside Shen Xin.

　　 "What did he say?" Yan Fei asked curiously.

　　 Shen Xin gave a brief and concise conversation between him and Ye Hexu.

　　 Yan Fei frowned, and sighed after Shen Xin finished speaking.

　　 "Hey, he is telling the truth. "ComicFuture" and "NewWorld" are too big, and the surrounding companies have completely different attitudes towards the two magazines."

　　 Shen Xin nodded. This is the "resources" that Ye Hexu mentioned earlier.

"I also considered whether "Y's" would have the opportunity to make an animation during my holiday. After all, let more people know about "Y's" and get their support. This is for you who want to win the "Newcomer Award". It's really important.

"However, even if a production company is willing to produce, the quality of the production and the time of the broadcast cannot be compared with "Hunting Abyss". Even so, we still have to fight for it, otherwise, the gap between the two comics will become bigger and bigger. .

　　 "Therefore, I have been hesitating whether I can lower the copyright price in exchange for cooperation opportunities with top animation companies."

　　 Yan Fei looked at Shen Xin.

　　 Lowering the copyright price means that he has to take a lot less money, and many cartoonists will not easily agree.

　　 Shen Xin knows that what he needs most is popularity. As long as he has a high enough popularity, he will have a great say when he draws the second comic, and he will even have the opportunity to negotiate terms with the magazine.

　　 "No problem, as long as there is a suitable animation company, copyright fees and so on, you can talk about it."

　　 Yan Fei smiled awkwardly, "This is my original idea, and before, there were animation companies willing to cooperate. I also plan to discuss this with you after the big framework is finalized."

　　 "An accident?" Shen Xin asked quickly.

　　 Yan Fei nodded slightly.

"Initially, our original idea was to make a season of 13-episodes anime. While you are drawing comics, the production company starts to produce it. It will be broadcast in July, and it will be broadcast for three months in July, August, and September. Let "Y's "The popularity of ”reached its peak in October. However, recent public opinion on the Internet has put this plan on hold.”

　　 "Sister Yan, what does this have to do with "Y’s"?" Xi Muhan said quickly.

"It's a little bit related. In fact, not only "Y's" is affected. Other types of comics, including the crime-type "Punishment", also affect the production of animation due to scale reasons. Animation companies are not charities, they are pursuing It is profitable.

　　 "Making animation, selling it to TV stations, and then selling CDs is the main source of income for animation companies. Now public opinion has not completely disappeared. Large-scale comics still have a relatively large negative impact. Animation companies must wait and see for a while."

　　 Xi Muhan clasped the corners of his clothes uneasily, "Sister Yan, you mean, "Y’s" has no chance to be made into an animation?"

"That's not true. The animation company is just watching. It's just that this period of waiting may be one or two months, or it may be half a year. Some companies have proposed to buy the copyright first and want to'stock up' at a low price, and wait until next year. Production. But if "Y's" can make a lot of achievements in the comics festival, the copyright fee will naturally rise. By then, the initiative will be in our hands, and there is no need to sell the animation copyright at a low price in advance." Yan Fei will coffee The cup was put down, but he looked at Shen Xin.

　　 "In other words, when we need popularity most, there is no way to make "Y’s" into an animation." Shen Xin said.

　　"There is a chance to make it. Just because there is a wait-and-see period, the broadcast time will be delayed. It is estimated that it will be broadcast in October, November, and December as soon as the fourth quarter of this year.

"But in October, some awards almost came to fruition. At this time, the animation is played, the effect is limited, and the animation production company will also keep the copyright fee very low. Both for you and the magazine, it will be very big. loss.

　　"The magazine believes that "Y’s" will have a better income after the comics festival, and then make animation."

　　 Shen Xin thought for a long time, then looked up at Yan Fei, "What is your opinion?"

　　 "After the ceremony, contact the animation production company." Yan Fei said seriously.

　　 "I see." Shen Xin was a little helpless and was already very careful, but he didn't expect that "Together" would still affect "Y’s".

　　 "But...the loss of not being able to make the animation in time, shouldn't it be made up?" Xi Muhan said frustrated.

　　"This is true. So we can only find another way~www.NovelMTL.com~ Yan Fei is helpless at first.

　　 "Sister Yan, do you have any ideas?" Shen Xin asked.

　　 "So far, you probably don't know the flow of the manga festival, right?"

"Ok."

　　 Yan Fei took out a notepad from her bag and explained the award process of the comic festival.

"The comics process for the Newcomer Award is divided into three stages. The first stage is from now until 24:00 on June 30th. The top ten newcomer comics will be promoted, and the comics outside the ten will be eliminated. Second In the stage, from July 1st to September 30th, Manjia.com will rank the comics according to the popularity value of each comic. The comics that finally ranked in the top five will be promoted to the final stage.

"At that time, the comics festival organizing committee composed of several magazines will hold a week-long meeting to analyze and discuss all the comics, and finally vote to select the winners of the major awards. The final result will be Announced at the comic festival."

　　Shen Xin nodded slightly, "The previous process is easier to understand, but how do you measure the popularity of a work?"

"Manjia.com users can vote for one vote per day, which is counted as 1 popularity value; for each comic sold, there will be 10 popularity points. In addition, the cartoon network will select the five most popular comics for each comic. A long comment with enthusiasm is placed under the comics to help new readers understand the comics."

　　 To some extent, these long reviews are equivalent to work recommendations and are worthy of attention.

　　 Yan Fei's explanation solved part of Shen Xin's doubts.

"I still don't understand that the final stage of the discussion is discussed and voted by the Comic Festival Committee. So a small...second-tier magazine like "NewWorld" should not be eligible to serve as a committee member. How to guarantee the rights of the second-tier magazine ?"
