My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 135 Yan Fei's Plan
The next day, the official micro of "New World" released the first day sales of the fourth volume of "Y's"-95,000 copies.
Shen Xin was surprised at the aggressive "crime", "Y's" was only slightly disadvantaged, and the gap was not big.
For this result, Shen Xin is completely acceptable, but the readers of "Y's" have another mood.
"5,000 copies... only 5,000 copies left, and the first two words of the radio show can be released, which is awful!"
"You don't just have to buy books, don't forget to send a questionnaire. Do you want 300,000 copies in total?"
"Yes. Go to the post office today."
The moderator of "Other Forums" also posted a post.
"Yesterday, 432 cartoons signed by Mr. Shen were grabbed and will be sent to you in the order they were paid. If there is something you don’t want, send me a private letter. If you don’t grab it, you will be refunded."
Next, the landlord sent the IDs of 432 netizens on the first floor, and let these IDs send him private messages to confirm the information again.
"Other sections" is very lively, but "Comic Future" is relatively quiet.
Although the sales of "Penalty" is higher than "Y's" on the release date, the gap between the two is not large. This is still the result of the fact that "Penalty" released both radio dramas and novels.In other words, "Y's" has now been accepted by some readers.
Many readers of "Comic Future" have difficulty accepting this reality.
Some of them have never even heard of "New World", let alone "Y's".
But it was such a comic that was unknown before the year, and it was at the same level as "Crime", which caused many "Comic Future" readers to fall into the eye.
"What's the origin of this "Y's"? So powerful?"
"The author can compete for this year's "Rookie Award", meaning "Y's" is his first full-length comic."
"I know, but a newcomer from a small magazine is not weaker than the two teachers Su Han and Tiaotiao..."
"That means the quality of this comic is very good."
"I suddenly wanted to see this cartoon..."
"But don't be too pessimistic. Although the sales of the two comics are not much different, the novel "Penalty" also had 150,000 copies in the first week, and the sales were also very high.
"Ha, for Teacher Su, should this be a basic operation?"
...
After Xin Xin signed the book and sold it, his right hand has been sore. Even after a night of rest, the soreness of his muscles has not disappeared.
Fortunately, he didn't need to work for the next few days, he could take a breath.
After calling Xi Muhan to make sure she had nothing, Shen Xin asked what she wanted again.
"I have bought the things I wanted last time. You just have a good rest."
Xi Muhan said so.
Shen Xin heard anxiety from her tone, so she laughed, "Tomorrow? I will go back tomorrow."
The three assistants said that they wanted to make a good turn in Nanjiatan, but since the book sale was over and they returned to the hotel, the three did not mention it anymore, instead they nestled in their respective rooms. The next day When Shen Xin saw them in the restaurant, all three had a pair of dark circles on their faces.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Xin wondered.
"Teacher, we have decided to collaborate with a fan of "Y's"." Zhou Yang said.
"You?" Shen Xin wondered.
"Yes... I have studied with you for half a year, so I want to try whether my painter has grown." Lu Ning looked serious.
"I'm in charge of name, and practice the layout of the story." Zhou Yang touched his nose and looked excited.
Gao Hang opened his mouth,
"Uh... if you think like this, it's okay." Shen Xin scratched his head, but this was not fair to other contributors.
"We only draw fellow people, and don't participate in the competition." Lu Ning saw Shen Xin's doubts. "We just look at our learning results in the past six months."
"So... look forward to your work."
Now that all three have made up their minds, Shen Xin has no reason to stop them.
The four stayed in Hongchuan for an extra day, bought the books and tools they needed, and returned to Yunhai on the afternoon of the fourth day.
Yan Fei, who returned to Yunhai one day earlier than them, sorted out the plans of the fan and the bonus pool that night. The next morning, he took the written plan and found the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief read the plan three or four times, rubbed his chin for a moment, and finally said: "The plan is good, but it is a bit complicated to operate."
"But the effect will be very good." Yan Fei said.
"That's right." The editor-in-chief nodded slightly, "but the president will not agree."
"Why?" Yan Fei wondered.
"You need to ask, but you also brought in Jixin Xuan." The editor-in-chief said meaningfully.
"Then do you mean... no?" Yan Fei had a headache.
The editor-in-chief's temperament is inherently soft, and the operation of the "Y's" comic is also personally managed by the president. Unless necessary, the editor-in-chief will not discuss the "Y's" with the president.
"It's not impossible..." The editor frowned, thinking for half a minute, he suddenly stood up from his seat, "Go, see the president."
Yan Fei brightened in front of her, followed the editor in chief, and left the editorial department.
Song Tai has been in a good mood for the past two days.
The fourth volume of "Y's" has just been released for two days, and sales have reached 18 volumes, and the stamina is even more than that of "Penalty." The advertisements in the radio dramas have also increased their costs after the third volume was released, barely maintaining revenue and expenditure. Balanced, the sales volume of "New World" has risen steadily, reaching 850,000 copies.
If you make persistent efforts in the next two months, "New World" will even have a chance to break through one million copies.
"Dad, I estimate that this week, the sales of "Y's" can exceed 500,000 copies, breaking the record of our magazine again." Song Ren looked at the report in his hand, and his lips were raised.
"If we can enter the ranks of first-line magazines during this period, even if Teacher Shen leaves, as long as other excellent authors enter, we can still stabilize. By the way, you are prepared. By October, we will receive a lot of papers and pay Set higher. Both new and old authors, we have to sign, to see if we can use this momentum to completely turn over."
Song Tai knew that Shen Xin's mind had been decided, and he had already made the worst plan.On the one hand, the magazine has to support newcomers like Zhou Yang. On the other hand, it needs to invite famous cartoonists.
Previously, the volume of "New World" was too small, and the more famous cartoonists in the industry were reluctant to come over.
Once the sales volume of "New World" exceeds one million, it means that "New World" has a certain strength.
Then, after another one or two years of operation, "New World" may not be able to squeeze into the top ten, which is also attractive to other cartoonists.
"Relax, I know how to do it. If we can find a famous old author, we don't have to worry about the surname Shen." Song Ren glanced at the form on his hand and sneered.
Even if "Y's" brought a lot of money to the magazine, he still didn't like the feeling of disappearing at any time.
Hold it in your hand to be the most reliable.
First, he declared war on Chen Zijiao without permission, and then categorically refused to cooperate with "New World". These factors made Song Ren not very fond of Shen Xin.
"We are both glorious and damaging with Teacher Shen now. You kid, don't do stupid things." Song Tai stared at Song either.
Song Ren loosened his shoulders, a little depressed, "Dad, I can tell clearly the priorities."
While the two were chatting, the editor-in-chief took Yan Fei and knocked on the door of the president's office.
