In the previous cafe.
Lu Yiming received a call from Zheng Huacai.
Inform him that the final payment from Jiangcheng has been settled in full.
Regarding the Shenhao Card's consumption score, Lu Yiming always thought it was aimed at the overall consumption process.
Come to the parking lot.
After sitting in the car.
Lu Yiming opened the data panel again and murmured: "So every consumption will be independently scored after settlement, right?"
Can be seen at this time.
In the data panel, the system divides his consumption behavior three times.
Consumption rating: High luxury entertainment fan rating A (41.47 million) High luxury watch*2 rating A (990,000) Top luxury wedding dress prepayment rating S (two million) (D%10 , C%25, B%50, A%80, S%100)/5.54 million
Spend three times to buy two high-luxury items and one top-level luxury item.
The corresponding score for high luxury is A.
The top luxury rating is S.
From this we can see what type of consumption the system wants him to do.
Lu Yiming did not expect that entertaining fans would only describe it as luxurious.
But consider that the average person spent more than 10,000 yuan for four days and three nights.
This does not seem to be considered the most luxurious consumption.
But this watch only received an A rating.
The thoughtful Lu Yiming murmured: "Is it because it is not valuable enough?"
It can be recognized that he pays for fans' consumption.
This meant that it was definitely not because he wanted to give one of the watches to Fu Xiaoli.
The only reason is that the value is not enough.
In the eyes of the system, a watch worth 600,000 yuan can only be regarded as a luxury. Lu Yiming couldn't help but sigh: "Are you forcing me to learn how to spend money? You really have it! System!"
2.99 million was consumed today.
This had a huge impact on Lu Yiming’s consumption outlook.
He needed to slow down a bit.
Then we bought milk tea and some pastries and snacks per head.
Lu Yiming rushed to his comic studio.
The studio Lu Yiming was completely responsible for Fu Xiaoli, so he only came once on the first day of official operation.
The venue is a rented commercial and residential room.
In fact, it is a house with three bedrooms and one living room converted into an office space.
It was Fu Xiaoli who opened the door to greet Lu Yiming.
Seeing what he was holding, he immediately turned around and called the people inside to come out and pick it up.
"Hey! It's milk tea! Thank you boss!"
"Wow! There are also pastries! Long live the boss!"
"thank you boss!"
There are only nine people in the entire comic studio including Fu Xiaoli, and they all work around the main writer Su Xiaoqing. The average age of the nine people together is less than 24 years old, which is considered a very young studio.
Several people took the things away from Lu Yiming one after another and thanked him.
In the end, Fu Xiaoli took over her job.
Seeing Lu Yiming smile sweetly: "Why do you want to come here!"
Fu Xiaoli's duties in the studio are deputy to the producer and line assistant.
Needless to say, the producer.
The completed work must pass her level to be considered passed.
The second-in-command of Hook Line Assistant got involved based on her hobbies.
Hearing this, Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Come and take a look! I happen to be planning to put the work online in the near future, so I came here to ask what you think."
Early last month.
Lu Yiming requires the studio to produce two updates per week.
Five weeks have passed so far.
Plus the first episode he saw at the beginning.
The Doupo manga already has eleven chapters.
It's time to start arranging to go online.
Hearing this, Fu Xiaoli called the main writer Su Xiaoqing. When Lu Yiming asked which platform was suitable for the current comics to be released.
Su Xiaoqing looked at Lu Yiming with a strange expression and said, "Boss, why don't you just turn it into a cartoon without preparing anything?"
Hearing this, Lu Yiming nodded.
Su Xiaoqing immediately raised her forehead and said: "Okay! I thought, boss, you had already reached a cooperation with some platform!"
Don't blame her for reacting this way.
The current investment in the studio is quite large, and the salary of a few of them is more than 100,000 yuan a month. She thinks that if there is no way to realize the cash, it is impossible for the boss to do this.
Currently, domestically operating comics without IP support is a dead end.
Just like she also took a detour for two years.
Only then did he choose to give up his identity as a cartoonist and find a studio or join an animation or game company to make a living.
The domestic Internet has achieved overtaking in a corner, but it has also crushed the physical book industry. In addition, the overly optimistic introduction of color comics has greatly increased the cost, which makes the comics industry increasingly difficult to do.
At present, the biggest support for comics is the funds brought by adaptation.
She knew that Lu Yiming was the anchor.
I thought he had bought some great work and was preparing to jointly develop IP.
But now it seems.
This boss is also the same as her before.
I broke into the comic industry with some fantasies.
Lu Yiming was curious about how the main writer's expression changed.
At this time, he asked softly: "What's wrong?"
These words interrupted the lead writer Su Xiaoqing's endless derivative thoughts.
Then he began to introduce the current situation of the domestic comic circle to Lu Yiming.
One thing to say.
Lu Yiming never thought that the comics industry would be so miserable.
That's right!
It's miserable!
According to Su Xiaoqing, if an individual wants to make comics, he must meet at least two conditions.
The first is the Romans.
The so-called Romans refer to those who are born with wealth and semi-freedom, and have a family to provide a fixed financial support.
The second is not to care about things outside yourself.
The external thing here is the copyright of the work. Once you publish it on any platform, the copyright no longer belongs to you.
In fact, it can be summed up in one sentence.
Freedom is limited, diversity does not exist, and copyright cannot be preserved.
At this time, Lu Yiming said in surprise: "Is this an exaggeration?"
Hearing this, Su Xiaoqing smiled bitterly and said: "Let's put it this way! We independent comics authors don't even have the same human rights as delivery riders!"
Lu Yiming looked at her with a serious face.
In fact, he believed what she said.
It's just surprise.
But no matter what.
He still wanted to publish the Doupo comic. At first, he thought that not signing the contract would mean no so-called remuneration, but as Su Xiaoqing revealed some shady stories about the industry.
Lu Yiming understood that his original idea would not work.
At this time, Su Xiaoqing continued: "As for the first platform, I personally suggest that Mr. Lu consider Penguin or Xiaopozhan. Currently, these two platforms are the only ones with traffic. Other platforms are either unfriendly platforms or cannot control piracy. Although these two cannot control piracy, this is the situation in the comics industry! You can only hope that the large traffic will attract more paying users and increase revenue!"
Hearing this, Lu Yiming shook his head and said, "No need! Since the platform is all about pissing, I won't take the initiative to find the platform."
You can see that Lidya Su seems to be worried about something.
Lu Yiming stood up and said softly: "Let's draw with peace of mind! I haven't given up on trying to figure out the meaning of this comic!"
These words immediately made Lidya Su feel relieved a little.
She had just found a job that felt good, and she didn't want to disband the studio because her boss couldn't see the money.
garage.
Fu Xiaoli got into the passenger seat.
She was listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but say: "Do you really want to continue doing this?"
Expenses of more than 100,000 a month.
That’s more than one million a year.
She was worried that her studio would become a burden to Lu Yiming.
Lu Yiming turned his head when he heard the sound.
Looking at Fu Xiaoli with a worried face, Lu Yiming smiled and said: "No problem! I can't change the comic market environment, but I can let these platforms take the initiative to ask for my cooperation!"
Hearing this, Fu Xiaoli didn't understand what it meant.
But he still smiled and nodded.
She just needs to do her part as much as possible.
Naturally, we can't put any pressure on Lu Yiming.
As long as Lu Yiming thinks it will work!
At this time.
Lu Yiming took out a gift box and handed it to Fu Xiaoli and said, "I saw this while shopping! See if you like it!"
Of course I like it, as long as it's from Lu Yiming.
He looked at the watch in the gift box in surprise. He also didn't know much about watches. He kissed Lu Yiming's cheek to express his joy and asked, "Does this watch cost several thousand yuan?"
Thousands of dollars?
More than three hundred thousand!
Lu Yiming didn't say this, just smiled and nodded.
Return home.
Fu Xiaoli went to prepare dinner.
Lu Yiming sat in front of the computer.
Based on what he just learned from Su Xiaoqing, he knew that it was impossible for him to debut on the comic platform.
This kind of platform does not hold the copyright once it is released.
Who can withstand it?
It can be said that this ruined the future of the comics industry.
Only that kind of studio's assembly-line work can support oneself.
As for wanting to make high-quality products.
Just look at Lu Yiming’s studio and you’ll know.
I spent more than 100,000 yuan in one month, and without a mature cash-out channel, I really need a Roman to do it.
But Lu Yiming didn't panic.
Essentially, he has no intention of making money from comics, as long as they can serve as a source of traffic.
He glanced at the time.
Lu Yiming called Zheng Huacai.
The time came early the next morning.
Lu Yiming drove back to the company.
Seeing Lu Yiming's arrival, Zheng Hua hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lu! I have done what you asked for. This is a finished film. Take a look!"
Zheng Huacai received a call from Lu Yiming just after the plane landed yesterday.
Then a new job was arranged for him.
It took him all night to complete it.
Looking at Zheng Huacai who was quite tired, Lu Yiming said sheepishly: "Thank you for your hard work!"
He didn't say that he was actually not in a hurry.
This will dampen Zheng Huacai's enthusiasm.
If the employee does a good job and quickly, just give a positive reply to prove it. Such negative words are unnecessary.
Lu Yiming's request was to make the original comic manuscript he sent into video.
Intended to publish directly to the D sound.
It will be used to attract traffic in conjunction with the release of his new book.
This is a way of tweeting that only became popular two years ago, but it is more of a comic-based push by IA. His high-quality comic-based push is considered the first of its kind.
The video is the content of the first chapter of the Doupo comic.
IA is used for dubbing.
Lu Yiming was very surprised.
He immediately looked at Zheng Huacai and asked: "If you hire some professional dubbing and add it to this comic, do you think it will work?"
Yesterday, Lu Yiming had already dragged out all his thoughts.
Zheng Huacai thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know! I did some research last night and found that there is currently no successful template for this model. However, if it can be updated twice a week, it should be able to attract a large number of users. After all, it is It’s free!”
Zheng Hua didn't know it was normal.
After all, he is the reborn one.
The studio's investment has been huge.
Plus voice actors.
This book has not yet been released, and Lu Yiming has already invested hundreds of thousands in it.
Whether there will be any profits is unknown.
But it should at least increase the number of subscriptions.
Then he said: "Don't tire yourself too much. Prepare a manpower to be responsible for the operation of this project alone. Try to find voice actors who can sign a long-term contract. I don't want to have to change the role of voice actors midway. As for the voice actors, Choose and contact the comic studio directly after you have made arrangements!"
He said there was no need to tire him.
But the preliminary work still requires Zheng Huacai to invest a lot of energy.
But fortunately, the company's operations are on track.
His job didn't put much burden on him.
Then the two chatted about the details for a while.
Lu Yiming left.
But I didn’t just leave directly.
There are three of his companies in the park.
Funan Fanxing Technology Co., Ltd.
It was the company that Jiang Yuanming was responsible for for Lu Yiming.
The location is upstairs from Fanxing Live Broadcasting Company. This floor was rented out by Lu Yiming and divided into Fanxing Technology Co., Ltd., Pangu Intelligent Technology, and Fanxing E-Commerce Co., Ltd.
Originally, I wanted to see how the platform was progressing first, but unexpectedly Liu Zhenyun happened to be there.
"Mr. Lu! You're here! I'm discussing with Manager Liu whether to contact you today!"
Jiang Yuanming was quite excited.
Lu Yiming smiled and said: "What? Is the platform ready to go online?"
After possessing the skill of Tianjuan.
Lu Yiming would always think of the good side of anything that happened.
However, there is good news here in Jiang Yuanming.
There is only the platform project.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanming scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's not too bad. As for the platform, we can now start a large-scale internal test, but I plan to work on the details a little more. The good news is that Manager Liu is here, and Di Ting has already Specially developed for two games currently on the market.”
Lu Yiming's eyes lit up when he heard the sound.
Immediately he looked at Liu Zhenyun aside.
Compared to Jiang Yuanming.
Liu Zhenyun was not that eloquent, and then directly invited Lu Yiming to his place to watch him give a live demonstration.
DNF has been in the top ten of the popular game rankings all year round.
Direct testing requires Penguin's authorization. Not only is the process cumbersome, but it also exposes the existence of Listening in advance.
But it is not completely impossible to test. This has to talk about some historical issues.
To put it simply, get a private server for testing.
Moreover, the body full of loopholes in the private server can better reflect the power of Listening.
The entire testing process lasted three hours.
Three hacker teams were invited to provide paid and rewarded assistance. Unfortunately, they only received a part of the compensation and failed to fully compete with the high bonuses.
There was no progress for more than two hours.
This already explains the problem.
Especially if you know in advance that it is a private server.
Hearing this, Lu Yiming grinned and said: "Okay! But in the future, we should suspend the in-depth development of poisonous milk powder. This game does not need our anti-cheating device at all."
