The next day.
After getting up, Lin Yuan did not go to the company, but went to his shadow studio.
Luo Wei and her friends are getting more and more adept at drawing comics, and Lin Yuan basically doesn't need to worry about anything. He just needs to give some storyboards.
Even the storyboards, Lin Yuan drew more and more casually.
For example, the storyboard for "Naruto" he gave to Luo Wei last month was simply a stick figure, just a rough composition, but Luo Wei also perfected it very well.
Lin Yuan himself was surprised.
He thought Luo Wei would ask him to redraw the storyboard.
This resulted in Lin Yuan's frequency of coming to the studio decreasing significantly.
But this does not mean that Lin Yuan does not pay attention to the situation of his comics.
Kaneki would report to him from time to time about the situation of the Alliance Comics website—
Different from before.
As the plots of "Deadfire Ocean" and "Slam Dunk" gradually unfold, coupled with the influence of animation, these comics are becoming more and more popular!
Now the traffic of the entire alliance has been propped up!
This emerging new comic website is thriving because of its shadow!
same.
Driven by these phenomenal comics, the alliance’s appeal to the industry is also increasing!
at the moment.
The site has produced some excellent cartoonists on its own.
Some mid-level cartoonists in the industry who were dissatisfied with the alliance have also gradually joined the alliance.
As a result, the traffic of Alliance and Horde comics is already very close.
Jinmu was quite excited when he talked about this:
"If nothing unexpected happens, in half a year at most, our traffic will be on par with Tribal Comics!"
"Another half a year?"
"You think it's too slow?"
Jinmu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You know, our website was built from scratch, while the tribal comics have long attracted countless top cartoonists. It was only recently that our website's traffic started to increase, and the Alliance began to attract some powerful cartoonists. In the past, those powerful cartoonists would not even consider other websites besides the tribal when publishing new works. Moreover, the tribal side would occasionally interfere and trip us up. Otherwise, our current traffic would be on par with theirs."
"Tripping?"
Lin Yuan asked: "What did the tribe do again?"
Jin Mu said: "It's nothing more than the same old routine, poaching people, snatching cartoonists from our alliance, but Han Jimei is not a pushover. She has set strict breach of contract clauses in the cartoonists' contracts, causing the tribe to bear more and more costs for poaching. After all, tribal comics are just a sub-department of the tribe, and they are not that rich. So they haven't poached people from us recently. If they continue to poach, they will suffer a lot. They have to consider the cost-effectiveness of these cartoonists."
"Why don't we poach people?"
"Because we don't have their money and background."
Kaneki said calmly, "But the pressure is theirs. We just need to hold on. Judging from the current situation, the alliance will be able to catch up with their website traffic in half a year. If it is a year later, our traffic may even surpass theirs and become the comics website with the highest traffic in the industry!"
That's right.
The league is now playing defense.
It's like the final stages of a basketball game.
The league does not need to pursue goals, as long as it ensures that the opponent does not score.
Because the rhythm and score are in the hands of the league, as long as we control the ball and drag the game out, we can win.
The reason why the tribes pay a premium to poach people is to find a way out through crazy offensive methods, otherwise what awaits them is slow death.
It looks magnificent, but in fact it is weak inside.
After all, the pillar of the Alliance is the shadow. Unless the tribe can dig the shadow back, no matter how hard they struggle, they cannot change the outcome.
"Wait."
Jin Mu sneered and said, "After one year, it will be our turn to attack. By then, the Alliance will be the most attractive website in the industry. No matter how many people they have poached from us, we will be able to poach them back sooner or later."
After all, it's still a bit frustrating.
After all, the league has been on the defensive all the time and will have to survive for another six months to a year. Anyone who is constantly attacked by opponents and cannot fight back directly will be unhappy.
"Why wait so long?"
Lin Yuan thought about it and said, "In fact, we can also poach their people."
Jinmu immediately shook his head: "Then we have to use the same trick as them to poach people with a premium. It's possible, but I don't think it's necessary."
“No premium required.”
Lin Yuan said: "I have an idea."
Lin Yuan wanted to fight back.
Although his career has been going smoothly, the tribe has recently been obstructing Xingmang's work, and the company has been dragged down by himself.
The chairman supports Lin Yuan, so he never complains.
However, Lin Yuan couldn't take it for granted.
Lin Yuan even suspected that Xia Fan's loss of her role was related to him.
"What do you think?"
Jinmu looked at Lin Yuan curiously.
Lin Yuan did not explain, but said: "You ask Han Jimei to contact the cartoonists in the tribe, mainly the top pure painters there. These people should be the easiest to recruit. You can also contact more other powerful cartoonists. Let's sit down and talk. Maybe someone will be willing to join us."
Jinmu was shocked: "Do you really want to poach people?"
"why not?"
Lin Yuan has a lot of comics in his mind.
He could never finish painting it in his lifetime.
Even with his apprentices in the studio, it would be impossible for Lin Yuan to draw all those classic comics.
In this situation, Lin Yuan had to think of another solution.
If this idea succeeds, the tribe will definitely be completely crushed in one wave.
"Could it be..."
A thought flashed through his mind, and Kaneki's eyes suddenly widened: "You want to provide them with comics by yourself!?"
If it were in the past, Kaneki would definitely not dare to guess like this.
It's unbelievable!
However, after witnessing the rise of Shadow Studio led by Lin Yuan, Kaneki had to consider the issue in the boldest direction!
"Yes."
Lin Yuan spoke.
He provided Luo Wei with the simplest stickman storyboard some time ago, and Luo Wei was able to draw it so well.
This shows that top cartoonists have very strong drawing and comprehension abilities.
This gave Lin Yuan enough room to maneuver.
For him, drawing some "stickman" storyboards is not a difficult task.
I might as well just start a wholesale business of stickman storyboards, and take out those comics on Earth that are not top-notch but are also very influential, and hand them over to cartoonists who are willing to join the tribe!
He believes that these comics are attractive enough for many cartoonists.
Premium
Does not exist.
The comics provided by Shadow are the alliance’s offer!
"Will this work?"
Jinmu's heartbeat quickened: "How many people can you protect? There are already five people in our studio waiting for you to provide the plot..."
“Try to pull as many as possible.”
Nothing else, just enough stick figures.
Lin Yuan even suspected that some pure painters didn't need their own stick figures.
Everything is easy if the plot is in place, and they can organize a beautiful storyboard presentation by themselves.
"The wind is blowing..."
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The tribe should..."
Jinmu suddenly interrupted him: "I feel a little hot all over because of what you said. I just turned on the electric fan."
