My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 120 Sale
Gao Hang held a D-pen and endured his inner agitation, trying to draw the background with his usual heart.however……
He really can't do it.
Today is the first day of "Y's". Previous magazines have already invested heavily, recorded radio dramas, and made a lot of publicity in Hongchuan, which has the strongest comic atmosphere in the country. Even in the first two days, Manjia uploaded The interviews of the four main voice actors and light novelist "Lonely Watching the Rain" can be described as full of momentum.
However, how much honor you have, how much pressure you must bear.
Before "Y's", it was just a small incident, and it developed secretly in the sea of clouds.This time, "Y's" really went to the domestic market.
In order to attract domestic readers, the magazine company even gave up Yunhai's autograph book sale.
In such a large-scale publicity, if only a dozen or two hundred thousand copies can be sold, the "Y's" brand is really smashed.
Gao Hang became Shen Xin's assistant when "Y's" was the most difficult, and accompanied Shen Xin to spend that unforgettable time. He sincerely hoped that "Y's" would sell well.But the more I cared, the more nervous I felt, and the D pen in my hand became less obedient.
He took a long breath, put down the D pen, and got up to a cup of hot water.When putting the teacup on the table, almost water sprinkled on the workbench.
"Don't put the cup on the table, what to do if the painting is dirty?" Lu Ning, who was sitting opposite Gao Hang, gave him a dissatisfied glance.
"I'm sorry, I forgot." Gao Hang rubbed his hands on his pants again, but didn't mean to pick up the cup.
"Teacher Gao looks nervous." Zhou Yang puzzled.
"Can you not be nervous? Don't forget, "Penalty" is also released today. If the release date is staggered, it may be compared now." Gao Hang said anxiously, "Once the gap is too large, "Y's" Teacher Shen will definitely become the target."
Gao Hang shook his head again and again, no one could bear the pressure.
"Teacher Gao, you can't do this. Girls don't like boys who are not confident." Zhou Yang said.
"Eh? Really?"
Hearing Zhou Yang saying this, Gao Hang felt tight.
Although he knew that Zhou Yang was a real boy, every time he saw Zhou Yang, he would treat Zhou Yang as a girl.
He didn't believe he would be broken, but Zhou Yang was in his neighbor's seat, and he would be affected more or less.
When Zhou Yang said this sentence, he subconsciously believed that this was the real thought of the girl.
"That's not it? Do not believe you ask Sister Lu if she prefers Teacher Shen." Zhou Yang whispered.
"what?"
Gao Hang was stunned, and really looked at Lu Ning at the next moment.
"Stinky boy, you're going to die?" Lu Ning's cheeks were red, and she glared at Zhou Yang, whispering, "Want to know what the girl thinks, tell the sister, the sister will buy you some women's clothing."
Zhou Yang shook his head again and again, kidding, how many women are there at home?I can never accept it again.
"The three of you...If you really can't calm down, go back first?" Shen Xin, who has been drawing down his head, suddenly raised his head and looked at the three assistants.
"Eh? Teacher Shen, don't you feel nervous?" Gao Hang wondered.
"How could it not be nervous?"
Shen Xin took out a paper towel, wiped his hands, and glanced at the paper basket again. Today, just a few pages of scrap paper were used up.When inking the ink line, some pens will also inadvertently leave extra lines.
This is not possible in normal times.
"But we have tried our best, even if the results are not satisfactory, we have tried our best." Shen Xin wanted to perform as easily as possible, but deep down, he also felt a lack of energy.
During this time, he has done his best, the rest can only look at the market's response.
If it is said that Shen Xin's studio is in a quiet state with impatience, then,
A large number of calls went to the editorial department to order the signed version of the third volume of "Y's", but the editorial department was not responsible for the sale of comics. Moreover, the magazine also issued announcements on official micro and Manjia. Can be purchased on the official website.
Despite this, many readers still call the editorial department.
"Hello, is it the "New World" magazine?"
Li Jiming just connected the phone and asked directly for convenience.
If it is usual, Li Jiming will definitely answer "yes".
For ordinary readers, the editorial department is the bridge between the reader and the work. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary readers, the editorial department is equivalent to a magazine.
But today is different. Many readers call because of the cartoonist or the work itself, but for the purpose of buying books.
"That...this is the editorial department, if you want to buy a book..."
"Yes, I just want to buy a book and buy the third volume of notebooks signed by Mr. Shen. Is the money mailed to you?"
The other party interrupted Li Jiming and asked directly.
"This gentleman, please go to the official website of "New World" to buy. We don't sell comics here." Li Jiming said patiently.
"You don't sell comics, what kind of magazine do you want to do? Bankruptcy."
Before Li Jiming explained, the other party hung up the phone directly.
"..."
Li Jiming had an urge to scold others. He all said that this is the editorial department. He was not responsible for selling books. He also called here. It was really maddening.
Xiao Li saw Li Jiming, who was angry but did not let out the fire. She didn't feel gloating, but felt the same. Li Jiming was not the only one who received such treatment.
There are only two people who can keep calm in the entire editorial department. One is Yan Fei. Whenever she receives a call, she patiently tells the other party how to buy "Y's"; the other is the editor-in-chief. Don't care, he only cares about one question, what is the total sales of "Y's".
Due to a lot of "harassment calls", the work progress of the editorial department has slowed down a lot.
The associate editor walked into the magazine and sent the reader questionnaire to the editor who didn't ask the editor.
In fact, the editors have already guessed the ranking. The first place must be "Y's", which has not been changed for several months; the second place has been changed back and forth, but the two or three comics have been turned over and over.
New authors and new comics will rarely appear again.
"Mr. Zhou Yang's short comic "Ghost Trend Frontier" is ranked first in the short comics list. Xiaoli, Mr. Zhou's achievements are very good, and I must make persistent efforts." The deputy editor said to Xiaoli.
"Well, I will tell him." Xiaoli nodded quickly.
"When is the next short story?" the deputy editor asked.
"After he finished drawing the name, he had to give it to Mr. Shen for comment and then make changes, so the progress would be slower. And in April, Mr. Shen was busy again, so the following short article may be delayed for a while. Xiaoli explained.
The deputy editor nodded slightly and turned his head to ask the editor, "Brother Zhang, what happened to "Y's"?"
"I don't know, I'm still waiting for news from the sales department." The editor shook his head.
Yan Fei also anxiously tugged at her fingers, feeling a little anxious in her heart.
"Sister Yan, "Y's" was only released for two hours, don't worry too much." Xiao Li whispered comfortingly.
Yan Fei nodded her head silently.
At this moment, the zombie face quickly walked into the editorial department, "Editor-in-chief, all 2,000 signed comics were sold. Other data for today will not come out until tomorrow morning."
When Yan Fei heard this sentence, her heart accelerated.
The official website began to sell autographed comics at 10 o'clock, and now it is only 11:30, and two thousand copies have been sold in an hour and a half. This speed is not unpleasant.
Yan Fei suddenly had confidence in the sales of "Y's".
