My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 74 Between Advance and Retreat
When Yan Fei knocked on the door of Shen Xin's office, Wang Wenhong also ran into the elevator in one breath.
After the elevator doors closed, he sat on the ground weakly, wiped a sweat from his cheeks, and took a few breaths.
Since Chen Zijiao promised to compete with Shen Xin, he found that the direction of things was getting more and more uncontrolled.
Knocking on the door of Chen Zijiao's studio, sweaty Wang Wenhong looked at Ruan Ying with a confused look.
"Bang..."
"Is Teacher Chen here?" Wang Wenhong asked.
"In his own studio." Ruan Ying said.
Wang Wenhong nodded slightly, not looking at the others, and quickly opened Chen Zijiao's studio.
"What's wrong?" When Chen Zijiao heard someone open the door, he turned around and saw Wang Wenhong, who was sweating and sweating, with a puzzled expression.
"Something went wrong... Su Han just sent a Weibo and will release "Crime" on January 12." Wang Wenhong said.
"Eh?" Chen Zijiao blinked, and then snapped the table. "Isn't "Shattering" on sale on the 10th? Su Han is messing with me?"
"It should not be that the release dates of large magazines are set in advance. In December, "Comic Future" just released the new work of "Dragon King", and in February, the single book of "Abyss of Hunting" will also be released. "Can only be picked in January. "Comic Future" can not make their own signature comics fight each other."
Wang Wenhong is in a bad mood. He only cares about "New World" and "Y's", but forgets to consider other magazines.
It was a failure.
"What should I do now?" Chen Zijiao anxiously said, "Can't we ever meet "Penalty"?"
"This is also my biggest worry." Wang Wenhong sighed.
Regardless of the sales of "Comic Future", or the number of readers and popularity of "Crime", "Shaky" cannot be compared with it.
Although the original works are Su Han, there is no doubt that "Crime" is Su Han's "pro-son", and the quality is not worse than her famous work "The Seven Sins", "Shake" is more like an "illegitimate child" "Not only are there loopholes, but they don't care too much.
"Now... all we can do is avoid the "crime"." Wang Wenhong said seriously.
"How to avoid it?" Chen Zijiao is like a headless fly with a confused brain.
"The release period of "Penalty" is in the middle of the month. If it is released according to the original date, the sales will definitely be affected. To stagger the "Penalty" can only make the release period of "Shaky" advance or backward. The premise of the release period, It will shorten the promotional cycle of the single book, which will affect the sales of the single book. If the release period is delayed, it may overlap with the release period of "Y's". Our advantages no longer exist. The pros and cons of which, you must think about it "Wang Wenhong put all the causes and consequences of the whole incident on the table.
"Which one do you think is better?" Chen Zijiao asked back.
Wang Wenhong looked at Chen Zijiao, and he hated iron and steel.
When you want to do something bad, why are you so decisive?
"Then I will reorganize the resources that you can use. Yesterday, "New World" posted a Weibo and will publish two words of "Y's" in the new issue. Basically, they can be sure that they want to Within a month, a separate copy of the second volume of "Y's" will be issued. Considering the new book printing and promotion cycle, "Y's" will only have a week of new book release period. "Shaky" needs to be published as a volume of content has been completed, so, our release date Selection has certain advantages.
"Besides that, you can also sign and sell books in different bookstores. Since Shen Xin has already held this event, the effect of signed book sales is definitely not as good as yours, it depends on your choice."
Chen Zijiao embraced his chest with both hands and raised his forehead slightly, thinking about the pros and cons,
Wang Wenhong's eyes lit up, and Chen Zijiao's thoughts were the same as his thoughts.
"the reason."
"The release of the stand-alone book definitely needs publicity. If there is insufficient publicity time, the sales volume will undoubtedly be affected. I don’t want to lose because of these factors. Moreover, I just grab the sale two days before "Y's" to suppress the momentum of its first launch day. , There should be a chance." Chen Zijiao calmed down and said his thoughts.
"Is there any other reason?" Wang Wenhong looked at Chen Zijiao in surprise. He did consider these two points.
"No...no."
"In the final analysis, the most critical part of the comics is still their own quality. Before the release, set a complete story of three or four words to attract the reader’s attention, then there should be readers who pay attention to the new "Shaky" Single book. Remember, the best publicity is the comic itself." Wang Wenhong said.
"But what kind of stories can attract readers?" Chen Zijiao asked urgently.
Wang Wenhong sighed, this guy... really taught himself everything.
"The fastest and most effective way is to use Su Han's story." Wang Wenhong answered without thinking.
"Which story?" Chen Zijiao seemed to find the "Stone of Victory" and quickly grabbed it.
"Don't forget, why did "Shattering" become like this? It is because Su Han's original work mentioned the death of a character, and all the spears were directed at the male master. Since then, the style of the story has completely changed."
"Yes... we joined a female character at that time, and then we started selling meat fighting styles. And that story is not in line with the following stories, and there is not much consideration later. You mean, use that text?"
Wang Wenhong slightly nodded, "Su Han's ability to edit stories is first-class. Although it will be more difficult without Su Han's support later, if you can't win "Y's", "Shaky Fall" will not need to consider the latter things."
"No problem." After making everything clear, Chen Zijiao also had confidence. "I don't believe it. Su Han's script, plus my painter, won't win Shen Xin. You know, "Y's" is before Was firmly clamped down by "Shattering"."
Wang Wenhong saw that Chen Zijiao finally showed a smiling face, still a little uneasy in his heart, but did not know where this uneasiness came from.
Hope... there will be a good result...
Wang Wenhong believes that he has done his best, and he is ashamed of the question. As for the result, he is not under his control.
Advertisements of "Penalty" are overwhelming, and even Yunhai is not immune. The platform and subway of the station are also covered with advertisements. The first page of Yunhai's comic forum is all related to "Penalty".
"Shaky" and "Y's" are also unwilling to be outdone. In addition to their respective release dates on Weibo, billboards outside major bookstores and supermarkets, as well as public transport and taxis, also published two works. ad.
The joy brought by New Year's Day has not dissipated, and the comics market in January is already filled with smoke.
