My Cartoonist Strategy

"Teacher, please drink water."

After seeing Shen Xin sweating, the staff of the bookstore immediately handed over two mineral waters.

Shen Xin frowned slightly and glanced at the readers who were still waiting in line.

Didn’t you say five or six hundred good people?Why are there more people?

His right hand was sore, and although he was always painting, he was writing for the first time without interruption like today.

The autographed book sales started at 11 am and signed for three or four hours, but the number of people queuing up remained unchanged.

Yan Wei, who was in the background, couldn't see it anymore and said to the store manager around him, "Store manager, don't let the readers line up anymore."

"Eh? The fire is selling now." The store manager regretted it.

"The fire will not work," Yan Fan refused. "The cartoonist's body is also very important. In case of exhaustion, it will be a loss to the magazine and the bookstore."

The store manager was a little depressed, but what Yan Wei said was also true. In case Shen Xin was tired, they would also have a lot of trouble in this bookstore, so he told the clerk to prohibit customers from waiting in line again.

Some customers are just busy, they don’t know "Y's", but they feel that if they can get a signed book, it is estimated that they can show off in front of their companions. Now that they don’t let them line up, they don’t want to continue. Go down.

But more people are readers. When they hear that readers in the back cannot wait in line, their expressions are different. Readers before the cut-off line are secretly happy, and readers after the cut-off line are frustrated.

"You are really sorry, we also know that you deliberately went to the roaming bookstore in order to find the signature of Mr. Shen, but Mr. Shen has signed the word for nearly four hours, and it is really tired now. If you still choose to buy The booklet of "Y's", the bookstore decided to give a poster and bookmark of "Y's"..."

Upon hearing the words of the shop assistant, most readers also expressed their understanding and dispersed.

After signing the last single book, Shen Xin leaned weakly against the back of his chair, and could not even lift his right hand.

"It's hard." Yan Fan handed a bottle of mineral water with a smile on his face.

"Alas, Sister Yan, you hurt me badly. I haven't been so tired of writing college entrance examination essays." Shen Xin was weak and took the mineral water with his left hand.

"Of course, where is the braille in writing?" Yan Fan said with a smile.

"So... how many books did I sign?" Shen Xin asked.

"do not know."

"Eh?"

"Eh what is it? I am not the store manager, the statistics are carried out by the store." Yan Fan said.

"Also." Shen Xin nodded slightly and drank a bottle of mineral water.

After a short break, the store manager hurried over, "Two, the results came out."

"How many volumes?"

Shen Xin and Yan Fan asked in unison.

"You two really have a tacit understanding." The manager said with a smile.

Shen Xin and Yan Fan smiled at each other.

"From the current data, as of four o'clock in the afternoon, "Y's" single book sold a total of 1,722 copies, of which, Teacher Shen signed 1,392 copies." The store manager said excitedly.

"Ah? I thought I signed 10,000 copies? My hands are almost tired." Shen Xin was frustrated with his hand on his forehead.

"Contentment? Cartoonists don't just write names like writers. You have to draw stick figures. It's not easy to sign so many books." Yan Wei patted Shen Xin's shoulder and placated.

"This is true. In fact, in this year's signed book sales at the roaming bookstore, this result is already the second best." The manager smiled.

Yan Wei nodded slightly, as an editor in the industry, and at the same time had a certain cooperation with the roaming bookstore. Relevant news, she also knew a little.

"How many volumes are the first?" Shen Xin asked curiously.

"The first place... more than 6,300 volumes, a lot of people really came,

"So much?" Shen Xin was frightened. He only signed more than a thousand copies, and his hands were almost abandoned.

"He didn't draw stick figures, he signed directly," the store manager said.

"It's a lot too. If I can come to so many readers, I would also like to sign directly?" Shen Xin sighed.

"Don't you be so greedy, please? The 1,400 volumes are already very high. Moreover, this is the first half of your career as a professional cartoonist, and in the future, the score may be higher. The other party is Big Mac The same exists. So, young man, you are already very powerful." Yan Fan said, patting Shen Xin's shoulder.

"Who is that person?" Shen Xin was curious.

"This year's best feature comic award winner, the comic cartoonist of "Comic Futura", teacher Wang Yunze and his "Dragon King Biography."

"..."

Shen Xin also knows that he really can't beat Wang Yunze now.

"Okay, that's all for today, thanks to the manager." Yan Wei waved at the manager.

"Yan Bian, you'd better make preparations first. I think it may be reprinted." The manager smiled. "One of the hottest roaming books this year, it is impossible not to reprint."

"Hope, but you also know that the magazine has very high expectations for this set of books. It originally applied for the first edition of 100,000 copies. As a result, the group of people in the sales department only gave 50,000 copies, although understanding their difficulties, In case of unsalable sales, all losses will have to be borne by the magazine, but even so, I still want to use excellent results to slap their faces." Yan Wan said depressed.

Shen Xin didn't know much about sales, but he also knew that the first edition of 50,000 copies was already very high for newcomers."Shaky" also took a week to digest the sales of 50,000 copies. Moreover, the base camp of "Y's" is still in Yunhai, and the Yunhai market is really too small compared to Hongchuan.

...

Xi Mumo was very depressed.

Today is Shen Xin’s autographed book sale, but he can only be “trapped” in the classroom.

This is also impossible. After all, if she went to the book sales site and was found by Shen Xin, she would definitely have to give a violent approval.

Sign something, you can sign it at home!

But what she wanted was not a signature, but a look at the scene of signing and selling books.

Hope not to be too cold.

If there are only one or two hundred people, or even dozens of people, will it be too cold... Well, there are quite a few students who are absent from class today. There are about five or six boys and two or three girls. The table didn't know why she was absent, and she didn't even pay the leave.

With less than fifty students in one class, there were not many students, and now I feel more empty.

So annoying.

Xi Mumo muttered his lips and transferred all his anger to the exercises.

Immediately starting the evening self-study, Xi Mumo thought that he wanted to do a boring exercise alone, there was a hurried footsteps outside the door.

Xi Mumo raised his head in amazement, and several classmates hurried into the classroom, including her at the same table, a girl with ponytails.

"Why did you go today, Xiaoxia? Don't ask for leave?" Xi Mumo puzzled.

"It's too late, so let's pay attention first." Xiaoxia at the same table pulled out a tissue and wiped the sweat on her forehead.

"What's so urgent?" Xi Mumo was even more puzzled.

Xiaoxia smiled and pulled a book from her schoolbag. "Of course I want to sign it."

Eh?

Xi Mumo's eyes moved to the manga, and I saw two large English letters-Y's written on the cover.

I went to Xin's autograph book sale...
