The Fall of the Vampire

Zhao Zhenying was taken into Jin Ke's house in a daze. As a result, as soon as he entered, he was immediately stunned.

This is completely different from what I imagined!

Why are all the walls covered with 2D posters from the living room to the bedroom?

That one is Platelet, that one is Wang Yuyan, that one is Jian Niang... and that one is the heroine of a comic he drew before!

Looking at the cabinet again, it's either comics or figurines, it's like a large-scale exhibition site.

At this moment, Jin Ke's image of a ferocious man suddenly collapsed in his heart, this nima turned out to be a fat man!

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenying immediately calmed down.

"Wow, isn't this the limited edition figure? I can buy them all!"

"That's right, I just got in line the night before!"

While chatting, the two unexpectedly chatted high.

When she learned that Zhao Zhenying was actually a cartoonist with the pseudonym "Ying Zheng", Jin Ke was also taken aback.

"So it's you! Is it true or not? I'll go, I've always liked your comics! What happened to the sudden unfinished last one?"

"Hey, it was an accident. It was a pure accident. I didn't expect that the big health care would be arrested."

"incredible……"

This continued until the evening, when Jin Ke inadvertently mentioned: "By the way, "Dragon Ba Bu" seems to be coming to an end, do you know what new comics Teacher Wu Qing plans to publish?"

"I don't know, I'm not familiar with them," Zhao Zhenying shook her head, "And it's uncertain whether their new works will be serialized in SQUTA."

"What's going on?" Jin Ke immediately became interested.

Zhao Zhenying said: "What they signed is a work contract, and the binding effect is only limited to "Tian Long Ba Bu". When the new comic contract comes out, we will have to renegotiate."

"Then talk about it again. Doesn't the publishing house want such a great god?"

"If you want it for sure, but those people don't use love to generate electricity, they are all a group of businessmen, and their eyes are on money." Zhao Zhenying is also an old writer, and he knows a lot about it, ""Tian Long Ba Bu" "When they were first serialized, they were still newcomers, so the publishing house took a big advantage in the distribution of profits, and now they want to finish their old works and replace them with new comics, so the problem arises."

The upper echelons of SQUAT Publishing House now have two opinions. One is to sign Wuqing no matter what. Their current popularity can be used to create gods. In this declining environment, "Weekly SQUAT" can forcefully rise against the trend, which is enough to prove the strength of Wuqing Great commercial value.

The other kind is more rational. Their main purpose of running a publishing house is not to pursue dreams or anything, but to make money. Everything is based on money. First of all, a phenomenon-level work like "Dragon and Babu" is very difficult to replicate. Even Wu Qing himself can't say 100% guarantee that the next work will become the same as "Dragon and Babu". This point is unanimously recognized in the industry.

If the publishing house signs them at a high price, and then spends a lot of effort to operate them, but the new work fails to achieve a certain result, the business will lose money. So there is a very troublesome thing here, that is, how to distribute the benefits with Wuqing and the others to ensure that the publishing house can make a lot of money?

This is not something that can be explained simply by one-nine, two-eight, and three-seven. It is necessary to consider not only risks, but also the ratio of input to output, as well as other related effects.

If "Dragon Babu" is still serialized, there won't be so many troubles. The main reason is that I am not sure about the new dance.

Take a look at their other work "Cells at Work". The red is a bit red, but it is only a red in the niche range, and it can't be compared with "Dragon Babu". As for the "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" co-produced by Ximenqing and Wangshu, it is similar. The quality is indeed high, and many people like it, but after all, it is still limited to a circle and has not reached the level of phenomena.

"These businessmen are very realistic," Zhao Zhenying said. "For profit, sometimes they will become crazy gamblers, but sometimes they are cautious to death. Compared with 50% earning 1 yuan, 50% earning 100 yuan , they would rather choose to earn 10 yuan 100%.”

Jin Ke's eyes were dazed, and he didn't understand what Zhao Zhenying said: "So? Will Teacher Wuqing continue to publish new works?"

"Uh..." Zhao Zhenying realized that she had been playing the piano against the cow for a long time, and she couldn't help covering her forehead, "Let me tell you this, even if they are still talking with the publishing house, they will continue to serialize in SQUAT if they can't. , and there will definitely be other publishing houses poaching the wall, after all, new comics will definitely be released, but it’s not necessarily the case if it’s not serialized in SQUAT.”

"Oh, I understand when you say that," Jin Ke nodded, "The big deal is to buy another magazine in the future, what's the big deal."

Zhao Zhenying has already heard something hidden in this ordinary sentence.

【Is the fan stickiness of Wuqing already so high? 】

People are often lazy. Once you buy a magazine for a long time, it is very difficult to change it suddenly. Therefore, the publishing house has changed one work after another, but it can still be popular, and the cartoonist has a higher probability of passing out if he changes a platform.

What makes readers follow the cartoonist is definitely something that a cartoonist with "Godhead" can do.

[Those old and cunning guys shouldn't be so stupid, right? 】Zhao Zhenying couldn't help but sneer, as a little cartoonist, where did she worry so much about other capitalists?

In fact, SQUAT Publishing House is indeed actively preparing to sign a contract with Dance Love.

"If you sign it, you must give it enough sincerity," Li Jing, the editor-in-chief, was on the phone with the people below, "There is no reason to drive the chicken that lays the golden egg away."

Because of the popularity of "Tian Long Ba Bu", he has now been promoted, and he has jumped three times in a row.

SQUAT Publishing House is a subsidiary of the "Sea Breeze Group". Compared with commercial aircraft carriers whose industries span industries, medical care, film and television, and people's livelihood, the publishing house is nothing more than a carrier-based aircraft in the final analysis. That's all. Being able to enter the head office is definitely more promising than being the editor-in-chief of a subsidiary.

Maybe it's because he read too many comics, Li Jing's biggest worry after being promoted is whether the headquarters will send a brainless young master to plate gold, and then run away in anger, Wu Qing, the two gods of wealth. In the end, SQUAT Publishing House became the material for people to pretend to be slapped in the face.

[Such a stupid thing must be avoided. ] Even though the matter of the publishing house has nothing to do with Li Jing, he has been paying attention to the follow-up development after he left.

Fortunately, the head office is not stupid, and it didn't do anything wrong. The person transferred to take his place this time is a very good talent.
