My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 83 Make up 1 knife
The first edition of "Y's" is 100,000 copies.
The editor in chief was extremely surprised when he received the report from the sales department.
The response of the zombie face is normal: "The sales volume of the first volume of "Y's" reached 230,000 volumes, and even if the sales volume of the second volume is no worse, it will not be less than 100,000 volumes, and this is also the meaning of the president. . Judging from my experience, the second volume is likely to be reprinted."
The editor-in-chief certainly believed the words of the zombie face, but he didn't expect that this "soon" was on the third night.
"The sales rate of the market has exceeded 60%, so another 100,000 copies will be added." Zombie face notification editor.
"So fast?" the editor-in-chief surprised.
"The bookstore outside Yunhai City has digested 30%." The zombie face said.
The editor's mouth slightly opened, and his heart was beating fast.
The bookstores outside Yunhai also sold 30,000 copies, which means that "Y's" is gradually attracting attention from domestic readers.
"Oh, driven by the sale of the new book, the first volume decided to re-publish another 20,000 copies."
Originally the first volume of "Y's" has been decided to be recycled, and now it is suddenly reprinted again, which makes the editor-in-chief feel like he is dreaming.
"New World" has not appeared in such a work for a long time.Wait... Is "Y's" really likely to impact the "Rookie Award"?
If this is the case, the next step is to plan well.
The editor-in-chief rubbed his hands, his inner excitement filled his face.
"Oh, what's the situation with "Shattering"?"
"It's not clear, there is no official data. But from the news of the bookstore, its single-day sales are different from "Y's". In addition, "Shaky" also has sales in China, but most of them are sold first Volume, and sales are not as good as the first volume of "Y's"."
"Oh."
The editor-in-chief was relieved, and there are still a few days left in the early morning of February 1. If there is no accident, Shen Xin's duel should be stable.
...
Chen Zijiao has slept badly in recent days.
Originally, he wanted to go to the roaming bookstore to read Shen Xin's jokes on the day of the release of "Y's", but he was greatly disappointed, and even a little uneasy and puzzled. The readers who bought "Y's" did not look too much. Shen Xin signed continuously After six or seven hours, there are still readers waiting in line?
By the way, at three or four in the afternoon, he couldn't wait any longer, so he ran back to the studio.
He tried to calm down and draw the manuscript, but the drawn picture never achieved the desired effect.
Today's situation hasn't improved yet, and it's not yet dawn. Chen Zijiao opened his eyes and lay in the bed repeatedly unable to sleep. Finally, he just put on his clothes and went to his studio to draw a line draft that was not finished yesterday.
Because of something in his heart, the G pen in his hand is not as "obedient" as usual.When applying ink, he even felt a sense of powerlessness.
In desperation, he put down the G pen and leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes narrowed, unconsciously, and his consciousness was a little trance.
I don't know how long the doorbell rang, and Chen Zijiao suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the alarm in front of the table, and realized it was 8 o'clock.
He opened the door, Ruan Ying bowed slightly, and then followed him into the studio.
"I haven't drawn the original manuscript yet, you clean it first, then I will give you the manuscript." Chen Zijiao said weakly.
Ruan Ying froze for a moment, and saw that Chen Zijiao was in a bad mood. Was it because of the duel with Shen Xin?
Thinking of this, Ruan Ying was a little guilty. The fuse of this matchup was her and Qiao Yu's job-hopping. If she lost this matchup, her situation was not very good.
"Right, what about Qiao Yu? He usually comes early." Chen Zijiao remembered Qiao Yu.
"Ah? He...he didn't tell you yesterday..."
"Yesterday? Oh... remembered.
After Ruan Ying and Qiao Yu arrived, he did not resign from another assistant, Xiao Liu, so he still has three assistants, but the other assistant is far away from here and arrives late every day.
Ruan Ying laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to answer the call.
At this time, the doorbell rang again, and Chen Zijiao turned around and asked, "It should be Xiao Liu."
"It is possible..." Ruan Ying opened the door, but saw Wang Wenhong standing outside the door, "Wang, why are you here?"
"Seek Mr. Chen for something."
Seeing Wang Wenhong's frowning, Ruan Ying didn't know why, but still gave him a way.
"Brother Wang, what can't you say on the phone?" Chen Zijiao asked.
"It's unclear on the phone." Wang Wenhong gasped for two breaths. "I heard more accurate information from the heads of bookstores and Yunhai's editorial circles. The total sales of "Shaky" has been "Y's" Overtaken."
"So fast?" Chen Zijiao was unbelievable.
Now that there are still three days left in the early morning of February 1, how could it be overtaken so quickly?
"The sales volume of "Y's" in the domestic market continues to rise, and the first volume has been reprinted for 20,000 volumes. It is estimated that it may be reprinted in the future, not to mention the second volume. Of course, its sales are definitely no better than "Sin" "Penalty", but the gap between "Shattering" and it, I'm afraid it will get bigger and bigger."
Ruan Ying heard Wang Wenhong's words, opened her mouth slightly, looked at Chen Zijiao, and Wang Wanghong again, only to feel that her hands and feet were cold.
Once Shattered loses the duel, it means she can only work here for a month at most.
"How could this be?" Chen Zijiao's eyes widened, "You didn't mean that "Shaky" has risen to third place in the "Dreamer" questionnaire?"
Wang Wenhong sighed, "Yes, but you have to be clear that the second volume of "Shaky Fall" does not have the content you are painting now, let alone, "Y's" has been the first in the "New World" questionnaire in recent months Name. There is a gap in the quality of the two comics."
"Then why did you let me fight "Y's"?" Chen Zijiao turned red, a little crazy.
"Since you started to put aside Su Han's text, the gap between "Shattering" and "Y's" has gradually widened. Can't you see it? Not only that, even in "Dreamer", "Shattering" ranks also Gradually decrease. If you do not fight this, you have no chance at all." Wang Wenhong said.
"Then... what should I do now?" Chen Zijiao panicked.
"The only thing that can be done is to call the readers on Weibo to buy the single book of Shaky Fall." Wang Wenhong gritted his teeth, which was undoubtedly Chen Zijiao's last hope.
Chen Zijiao was silent, turned and walked towards the studio.
"By the way, hasn't Qiao Yu yet come?" Wang Wenhong remembered that Qiao Yu came very early every day, but today, Qiao Yu's workbench was clean.
"He has something to do today, and I give him a day off." Chen Zijiao opened the studio door and said casually.
Ruan Ying quietly raised her hand, "Wang Bian, in fact, Qiao Yu's meaning should not be'not coming today' but'not coming from today'."
"Ah? What do you mean?" Wang Wenhong said in surprise.
Chen Zijiao also stopped and looked back, looking at Ruan Ying with shock.
Did Qiao Yu say this yesterday?
Maybe, after all, he was in a trance, and he might have heard it wrong, but... But how did he feel so stubborn?
Ruan Ying smiled awkwardly, "That is, he can't resign."
No more...
"He offended Shen Xin, and now he made this happen again. Does he still want to be in the cloud?" Chen Zijiao growled.
"He's going to Hongchuan to try...it seems to be today's ticket." Ruan Ying said.
"Wages? Haven't you paid the wages this week?" Wang Wenhong asked.
Ruan Ying scratched his head, and his heart was mixed, "Ms. Shen recently asked Yanbian to give him a 20,000 yuan single book reward, so there should be no shortage of money recently."
Chen Zijiao's mouth opened slightly, and he was speechless for a long time.
Wang Wenhong clapped his hands helplessly, and now he finally knew what Shen Xin was feeling.
