Chapter 15 It’s no wonder that this bad painter is so popular!
Oda Shingo is not prepared to make money from the web serialization of "One Punch Man Web Version".
The artist, who is like a child graffiti-level, decided not to take the web paid route.
Of course, if a web editor finds a promising job, the contract can be changed at any time. But this was not part of Oda Shingo's plan.
Following the prompts, he started uploading the comic and named it "One Punch Man Web Version".
"It's really inconvenient not to have an assistant." Naturally, he used to be a big boss and was no longer used to it. How long had it been since he had done such a non-technical operation?
Oda Shingo just sighed, and the operation was still serious.
He carefully read the content of the web notice and confirmed that there was no copyright dispute in the signed online agreement before starting to upload it.
After the first episode was uploaded, he started painting again.
The boss of the Japanese comics industry, Qunyingsha, office building.
The old office building has not had its exterior walls repaired in more than ten years.
But the huge character poster hanging outside the building is updated every month. That print is usually the character from the best comic of the month.
In the office area on the lower floor, in front of an old, big-assed computer, a web editor with an extremely thin body and face was struggling to review manuscripts.
Kameto Keiji has just been transferred from the main publication of the group "Jump" to an editor in the web department.
"Damn it, let me take the blame and send me to a place like this!" Keiji Kamedo complained.
One of the traditions of Qunyingshe is the one-to-one author service from editors. The authors Kamedou Keiji followed three times in a row were at the bottom of the list and were eliminated.
Therefore, he was demoted from the front-line "Qunying Jump" headquarters to the third-tier web department, with a supplementary level in between that published the works of the Shoujia Award. This was considered a two-level demotion in a row.
Kamefuji Keiji casually reviewed and approved the application for new comics to go online: "It's just a serialization on a third-tier web website, what good comics can there be! Look, look, what level are these, they are all a bunch of street hustlers!"
Although web serialization has caused a devastating blow to traditional publications, comic publications such as Qunyingsha still focus on tradition. Quite a few readers still prefer print media, and so do the old diehards in comic book clubs.
However, everyone knows deep down that the proportion of the web is getting bigger and bigger.
However, at least for now, comics paper media is king in the market. Although web websites are developing day by day, they are still second-tier in terms of comics publishing.
"One Punch Man web version? What kind of artist is this?" Keiji Kameto suddenly saw a web comic publishing application waiting for approval, "Everyone wants to make a fortune by drawing comics? Anyone dares to draw comics?! This level! , let’s go fall in love!”
He was in a bad mood and wanted to deny it.
But... there is no reason.
It is not allowed to be published on the web. There is no issue with the artist's work. And if it does not pass the review, it will be reviewed by the minister for the final time. If the minister finds a problem, it will affect the KPI to a certain extent.
Keiji Kito retreated to the third-tier web department, and his income was greatly reduced because there was no subsidy from following the author. If he loses money because of this matter, he will definitely refuse.
It's not worth the risk for a comic like this, and no one will read it anyway.
The Qunyingsha web comic site publishes hundreds of comics every month, but most of them will fail.
"Consider it your luck, I'll let you go." Keiji Kameto snorted, and reluctantly clicked "Pass", "Anyway, as a painter, you can't have any future. The protagonist's face can't be drawn well, who can see it? ?”
He believes that with his excellent editing talent, intuition and experience, this judgment will not be wrong!
Well, you can’t go wrong! This cartoon medicine is so popular that even if I shave my head, it will be a hot topic in the newspapers.
This is just a small episode.
The second episode of "One Punch Man Web Version" was drawn by Shingo Oda very quickly.
When uploading the second episode, Oda Shingo noticed that the first episode had already been reviewed, and the Qunyisha web site started to automatically give some traffic. New comics will appear in the updated list, and some people on the website will start to click on them.
A reader left a message.
[The painter is eye-catching! ]
[I am more confident in my painting skills! ]
[My hope in comics has been rekindled! ]
[My sister pulled my clothes and encouraged me, who had long given up on my comic career: Onii-chan, you are much better than him. ]
[Like the Kyoto sewers in the rainy season! ] This is obviously a message from a Kyoto person.
Looking at these messages, Oda Shingo smiled. Japanese people speak very tactfully!
[After reading the author’s comics, I accidentally fell and was injured, and I have filed a lawsuit. ]
There is something wrong with this Japanese grammar. Are there really Chinese readers?
[It hurt my eyes, reported. ]
Oda Shingo continued to smile, why does this reader have a bit of Chinese flavor?
It only took an hour to upload, and it didn’t even get recommended. There were only a few comments. Oda Shingo is very satisfied with the lethality of "A Group of Supermen Web Version".
On Earth, the original version also experienced the same criticism.
After all, the original version is a soul painting.
It's full of emotion and can't be manipulated at all.
But there was one message that slightly surprised Oda Shingo.
A reader named Chengzi left a message with a girl's avatar: "It's very interesting. I'll accept it. I'm looking forward to eating it here."
Oda Shingo glanced backstage.
Number of collections of "One Punch Man Web Version": 1.
It’s worth remembering, my first fan-level reader.
Oda Shingo casually clicked on the person to follow him.
His own account also became a fan of the other party.
By the way, he also replied after this reader named Chengzi left a message: [Congratulations, you are the first to follow this author. Once you have tens of thousands of readers, you will be an old fan. Once you have more than 100,000 readers, you will be a veteran fan. When readers exceed one million, you will become a fan of Yuanshi Tianzun. But now, you are still a fan. ]
Then, he continued to upload the second episode of "One Punch Man Web Version", and then he bent down at the table and continued painting.
Tokyo, a Japanese-style dojo.
Japanese style is the courtyard of a traditional style building. Usually the highest is only the third floor, and the owner usually lives on the first floor. Naturally, there is no bed in the bedroom, just traditional furniture such as Japanese tatami mats.
"It's very interesting. Take it, look forward to eating melon here." A girl said in a brisk voice.
Her name is Todo Xiangcheng. She wears a standard blue and black sailor JK suit, and on her wrist is a white wristband commonly used by boxing practitioners.
The girl is young and beautiful, without makeup, with a ponytail, and her long black hair floating casually on her shoulders.
She sat on the futon in a duck-sitting position, and her white stockings stood out on the gray tatami.
"Oh my, where can I get melons to eat? It's so boring." Todo Xiangcheng shook his head and kept clicking the mouse.
Not even a minute later, there was a ding-dong sound on her laptop.
She was reading a comic book online when she noticed a pop-up reminder from the comics website.
[Your message has been replied, please click to view. ]
"Oh? Which message is the reply?" Todo Xiangcheng was curious.
When she turned over and looked at the page, she couldn't help but find it interesting.
"So I am an original fan? An old fan? What is a Yuanshi Tianzun fan?"
Fujido Xiangcheng looked at the laptop screen with joy, and seemed to be interested.
At this time, a burly, middle-aged man with a beard and a shining head quietly approached her from behind...
