My Cartoonist Strategy

The publication of "Formula of Love" has caused a lot of waves in Yunhai, a small city.

Yan Wen knew that this comic had been recognized by many people, and the editor-in-chief had mentioned it in the editorial office more than once.

When the Weekly Dreamer is coming, the editor-in-chief will only look a little better when he mentions "Formula of Love".

"The questionnaire is out!" the deputy editor shouted as soon as he entered the editorial department.

Yan Wei, who was working, immediately raised his head and looked at the deputy editor in front of the printer.

"It's really nervous...if Shen Xin can serialize it." Xiao Li whispered to Yan Wei's ear.

"Be patient... I hope he can have a good ranking." Yan Fan whispered.

The two were talking, and the deputy editor came over and handed the copied questionnaire to Yan Fan.

"When will this newcomer draw a serial? The editor-in-chief is looking forward to it."

"Eh?" Yan Wei rarely saw the deputy editor say so directly, "Can it be serialized?"

"Take the name first, and then consider the serial issue, it's better to hurry up," the deputy editor urged.

"...Oh." Yan Wei nodded again and again, and waited until the deputy editor turned around and handed the remaining copies of the questionnaire to others, she whispered to Xiaoli, "Why is the deputy editor so anxious?"

"Can you be in a hurry? Today's Weekly Dreamer is released."

Yan Wei suddenly realized that the senior management of the magazine had a connection with each other. They may have "declared war" in private, wanting to seize the weakness of the other party, and then give a fatal blow.

"It seems that Shen Xin is going to discuss the new comics." Yan Wei mumbled and looked at Xiao Li, who was next to her, and saw her staring straight at the questionnaire in her hand. "What's wrong?"

"Support rate... The support rate on the questionnaire, so high..." Xiao Li pointed to the ranking on the questionnaire and said in surprise.

After Xiaoli's reminder, Yan Fan also moved her gaze to the questionnaire.

The reader's questionnaire is generally divided into two parts, one is the voting column of the serialized comics, and the other is the short-vote voting and reader response area.

Normally, serial comics have accumulated a certain amount of popularity, so their support rate is relatively fixed, and more people are willing to vote for them.Short comics are much more embarrassing, relying on only 40 to 50 pages of plot, it is difficult to attract readers, so, generally speaking, unless a famous writer's contribution, otherwise the votes will be very scattered.

This questionnaire is somewhat different. In a thousand questionnaires, more than 50% of the people voted for short comics, and 60% of the 50% voted for Shen. Xin.

In other words, without Shen Xin's cartoon, perhaps more than two hundred people are willing to vote for the short story.

"Why is this happening?" Yan Fan wondered.

"My sister, you are his editor in charge, you should be clear!" Xiaoli glanced at Yan Wei angrily.

Yan Wei shook his head slightly, "I just think this cartoon is good, but I didn't expect such a high popularity."

Editors can usually only judge the quality of their work based on experience, but whether a comic is really popular with readers depends on many factors, perhaps the subject matter, the depth of the story, or the cartoonist’s painting work and story editing Ability may even be luck.

"and many more……"

She suddenly stood up.

"Hey, Sister Yan, what are you doing?" Xiao Li quickly asked.

"Let's take a look at the questionnaire for this issue of the magazine." As soon as Yan Fu's voice fell, he was out of the editing room.

There must be a reason for such a high turnout rate, not only because of the addition of "meat", so she has to look at the age of the readers who voted and why they voted.

Yan Wei came to the reference room, found out the latest readers' vote, and checked nearly six or seven hundred questionnaires. The doubts in his mind gradually became clear.

She put the six or seven hundred questionnaires into the bag alone, and hurriedly returned to the editing room, dialing Shen Xin's phone.

"Hey, Shen Xin? Where are you?"

"At home, the name is being drawn." Shen Xin said.

"New name?" Yan Fan was surprised.

The short story has just been published, but Shen Xin is drawing a new name, which is really hard work.

"Really?" Shen Xin had a black line.

He heard the surprise in Yan Fu's words, but his heart was slightly embarrassed.

In fact, he also has several alternative comics, but he has not yet decided which one to choose, so he drew a name, hoping to find inspiration on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is practicing splitting.

Even if he wants to draw those comics that have been published, he has to grow every time he draws a storyboard, otherwise he is no different from a machine that only draws pictures.

"Take your name, two hours later, we will meet at Starbucks."

"Two hours later? Why did you choose this time?" Shen Xin glanced at the time, now it was noon, and pushed back two hours, it was the hottest time in summer.

It's really uncomfortable to go out at this time.

"I'm going to buy a magazine. Today is the first issue of Weekly Dreamer. As opponents, we must understand them. I think you also want to know Chen Zijiao's new work, what level will it be?"

Shen Xin responded, which was true.

"So, two hours later, I met at Starbucks...To be honest, I don't know if I can grab it?"

"Dreamer" will be so hot?

Shen Xin expressed deep suspicion about this. After hanging up the phone, he went to the bookstore where Xi Mumo was working.

Xi Mumo was shocked when he saw Shen Xin. Shen Xin rarely came to this bookstore.After Shen Xin explained the intention, Xi Mumo spread his hands.

Sorry, it's already sold out.

After the store manager knew that Shen Xin was the author of "Formula of Love", he immediately showed enthusiasm and called several nearby bookstores. As a result, "Dreamer" was sold out.

At this time, Shen Xin realized that he had made a mistake, and "Dreamer" was unprecedentedly welcomed after its revision.

There are also reasons for the popularity of this magazine.

First of all, the revised edition of the magazine has an inexplicable appeal to the general readers.But whether they were readers of Dreamer before, they all want to see what the revised Dreamer looks like. At the same time, such a magazine is also commemorative and has a collection value.

Secondly, before the "Dreamer" was revised, the magazine had made advertisements in many media, which made many friends notice this.

Thirdly, it is the quality of the content. After all, if the magazine wants to sell well, its quality must be excellent.And there is only one way to judge the quality of the magazine, that is, whether the comics are eye-catching. Obviously, the quality of this issue is very "hard".

Of course, the most important point is that the dealer did not anticipate that "Dreamer" will be hot. To put it more bluntly, it means that there is less stock.

Shen Xin can only book one at the bookstore and come to pick it up when the magazine arrives.
