The next few days.
Lin Yuan worked with Luo Wei and his assistants in the studio to create "The Case Files of Young Kindaichi".
A week later.
Kaneki negotiated a new contract with Tribal Comics with higher pay.
The contract was negotiated.
Jin Mu said to Lin Yuan: "The talks were not very smooth. The new director of Tribal Comics was not as straightforward as Han Jimei. Fortunately, they finally agreed to our conditions, which is a good result..."
Lin Yuan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
“It’s not hard work.”
Jin Mu smiled and said, "In fact, the reason why the contract negotiation was so difficult this time is not only because the director of Tribe Comics has changed, but also because Tribe Comics has become more and more popular in recent years. The top cartoonists from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan and Han have gathered on this website. They have a near-monopoly on the resources of comic authors in the comics field. Even if a writer leaves the website, they have nowhere to go. After all, all the traffic from other comic websites has been snatched away by them. It is precisely because of this that they dare to control the authors."
This is normal.
When the tribal comics platform was first established, they were begging cartoonists to come.
Now the traffic of the Tribal Comics platform ranks first in the industry, and the entire market is controlled by Tribal Comics, so cartoonists have become begging for Tribal Comics.
certainly.
For a cartoonist of Shadow's level, the impact is not particularly great.
Tribal Comics still values top comic book authors very much and is willing to make concessions on contracts, but the extent of these concessions will certainly be much smaller than before, and the negotiation process for profit distribution will also be more difficult.
"normal."
Lin Yuan spoke.
He felt that this was because Shadow's influence was not strong enough.
If Yingzi also had the industry influence of Chu Kuang and Xianyu, then similar problems would definitely not exist. After all, the conditions proposed by Jinmu would not be too harsh.
Chu Kuang and Xian Yu never encountered any resistance on issues such as contract benefits.
Maybe when Detective Conan is released, things will be different.
"The promotion will be posted tonight, so we better decide on an exact release date for our comics."
"Tonight, then."
After a few days, Lin Yuan and his assistants, Luo Wei, worked together to save a lot of manuscripts, enough for the early serialization of the comics.
"good."
Kaneki continues to be associated with Tribe Comics.
The news that Shadow is going to release a new comic was finally announced from the official platform of Tribe Comics:
Shadow Teacher’s first mystery comic "The Case Files of Young Kindaichi" will be officially released on the Tribe Comics platform at 8 o'clock tonight, so stay tuned!
The sudden surprise hit Shadow's fans directly!
That lazy guy Shadow is finally going to release a new comic!
Since the end of Death Note last year, Shadow seems to have disappeared without a trace, and there has been no news of new works being released.
Until today.
People on the Internet have been asking where the shadow has gone.
Why doesn't Shadow draw new comics
Some of Yingzi's fans even went to the comment section of Xianyu and Chu Kuang, two of Yingzi's good friends, to ask why there had been no news about Yingzi.
Unfortunately, neither Chu Kuang nor Xian Yu answered.
In this regard, Shadow's fans can only guess:
It must be Shadow’s laziness!
Don’t forget that Shadow has a criminal record!
For example, he obviously has excellent drawing skills, but he never put much effort into the two comics before "Death Note".
If Shadow had not been questioned by the cartoonist Chuzhou that year, he would probably not have shown his best painting skills in classics like "Death Note", but would have continued to treat it perfunctorily.
I have never seen such a willful cartoonist!
Now that Shadow has finally announced a new work, fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief:
"Looks like he's still alive."
"Among the three friends, Xianyu is the most hardworking. But even though Chu Kuang has a bad reputation, he still updates his novels very vigorously. Only Yingzi has a lot of talent but always thinks of being lazy."
“I almost thought he would become an illustrator in the future.”
"Since the end of Death Note, Shadow's name can only be seen in the illustrator column when Chu Kuang writes novels. But his painting skills are still so abnormal."
"But the subject of this new comic is very interesting!"
"It's actually a mystery comic. Are there any popular mystery comics on Blue Star?"
“No mystery comic has ever been a big hit.”
"Could it be that Shadow wanted to draw a mystery comic after reading Sherlock Holmes?"
"Is this a collaboration with the old thief Chu Kuang?"
"Xianyu's song 'The Seventh Chapter of the Night' is a collaboration, while Yingzi's is at most just riding on the popularity of the mystery."
"I have to admit that even though I have no interest in mystery, I still want to read Shadow's next work, which is a mystery comic. After all, his comic creation level is really amazing."
"I didn't expect Yingzi would also draw mystery stories. He's like the Chu Kuang of the comics world. He can draw any subject!"
“In terms of the wide range of subject matter covered, the three best friends are all quite versatile. I look forward to “The Case Files of Young Kindaichi”!”
"… "
After disappearing for nearly a year, Shadow's popularity has not declined much and he still has a lot of fans. After all, Shadow's first three comics were very popular.
And amid the fans' expectations.
The comic was finally released online on time at 8 o'clock that evening!
Swish, swish, swish!
Shadow’s fans clicked on the comic as soon as possible!
And on the new work popularity list.
This comic titled "The Case Files of Young Kindaichi" also quickly made it into the top five!
This is the bonus brought by fame!
No matter what the subject matter of the work is, as long as the author is famous enough, it will always attract countless readers as soon as it is released.
And not even just readers.
Some fellow cartoonists on the tribal website also clicked on this comic out of curiosity.
If it were a normal mystery comic, or if it was written by a different author, people would definitely not be optimistic about this comic, because the subject matter chosen is too unpopular.
But the themes of Shadow’s previous comics were not that popular, but each one became more popular than the last!
Under this premise, no one dares to easily judge whether this comic can become popular...
However.
When cartoonists in the industry finished reading the first part of the serialized content, their expressions became hesitant.
How to say it
This comic is good!
The quality of the plot is extremely high!
The reasoning part is quite hardcore!
but…
Shadow doesn't seem to have gotten rid of the niche atmosphere exuded by mystery comics
Or, only part of it
All in all, the feeling is not quite the same as I imagined.
Maybe it's just because the plot hasn't been fully developed yet
The fellow cartoonists were thoughtful.
Comic comment section.
The comments were hilarious.
However, the two most popular posts with the highest response rates revealed two completely different attitudes among readers.
The first one:
"Shadow is still as awesome as ever. Just in terms of the quality of the opening, this is definitely the best mystery comic I have ever seen. The mystery part has a bit of a classic flavor, the plot setting is very rigorous, the painting style is still so awesome, and the first storyline is also full of twists and turns. I look forward to the subsequent developments!"
Second type:
"The painting style is indeed invincible, and the reasoning is indeed very exciting, but reasoning seems to be really not my cup of tea. After trying it, I feel that it is not very attractive. I will wait and see if there will be any interesting reversals later."
The evaluation is definitely not low!
These are the two attitudes in readers' comments, which are quite intriguing.
At that time, Lin Yuan was sitting in front of the computer looking at the comments, and his expression did not show much surprise.
This comic is suitable for building up your reputation and credibility.
If you want to create a huge hit, you have to go with "Detective Conan".
The story of the elementary school student of Death is a real family-friendly story. Even people who don't like reasoning can enjoy it, because Conan's character setting and plot are very easy to understand, and the pretentious atmosphere and exciting moments are very popular.
"Just bring Conan out after a while."
When Lin Yuan turned off the computer, he had already reached a conclusion in his heart.
