My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 84: Win and lose

   After Chen Zijiao learned of Qiao Yu's resignation, his whole person was also sluggish. For a whole day, he did not draw a chapter of the original manuscript, and only a few people responded to his Weibo requesting purchase.

  Wang Wenhong was helpless, but helpless.

   Even if he has the ability, he can't change the character of others, especially, like Chen Zijiao, who does not control his emotions at all, he has no other way except to persuade and comfort him.

   The sales of "Y’s" and "Toddler" are gradually being pulled apart.

On the morning of the 31st, "Y's" had led 70,000 copies of "Toggle", with a total sales of 420,000 copies. Among them, the second volume sold 160,000 copies within a week, making it into the top 10 of the domestic new book list. .

   Even under the influence of "Crime", "Y\'s" still became another best-selling comic.

   What surprised the "NewWorld" magazine was that even though the sales of "Y’s" in Yunhai City began to decline, its share in the domestic market was clearly rising.

   After 20,000 copies of the first volume of "Y’s" were republished, the sales department notified the editorial department that it would reprint again, and this time the print volume was 50,000 copies.

   Shen Xin, who got the news, was also in a good mood.

   As long as "Y’s" can be accepted by domestic readers, the sales of this comic should be more objective.

   The original "I"s of "Y’s" sold 15 volumes and 10 million copies on the earth. On average, each volume sold more than 600,000 copies.

   In this world, the number of Chinese comics fans far exceeds the 11 districts of the earth, and the sales of "Y’s" should not be too bad.

   Shen Xin also knows the disadvantages of "Y's". Its filming and composition, and even the artistry, still have a certain gap with the original. Therefore, he is still cautious about the sales of "Y's".

   He has only been a professional cartoonist for about half a year now. He only needs to improve methodically at the current speed, and eventually he will achieve the desired results.

   As the deadline approaches, Shen Xin's mentality has become more stable, while Chen Zijiao has become more irritable, throwing comic tools constantly.

   Ruan Ying, who draws the background, is often frightened, but unable to change the status quo.

   The quality of the line drafts that Chen Zijiao gave her was getting worse and worse. In order to complete the manuscript, she even had to add a lot of content by herself, which invisibly increased her workload.

   "Hey, Sister Ruan, do you want to retreat now?" Xiao Liu, who sat opposite, asked Ruan Ying in a low voice.

   "Retreat?" Ruan Ying was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, it's no accident. "Toggle" will definitely be finished within a month. At that time, everyone will have to look for new jobs." Xiao Liu lowered his head and drew the effect line, "Of course, with the strength of Sister Ruan, find an assistant job It’s definitely okay, but it’s still a bit difficult for me to find a decent job."

   "Is it easy?" Ruan Ying muttered to herself, sighed, and didn't say a word for a long time.

   In the early morning of February 1, Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei went to the sales department of Fang Magazine to count the sales volume of the two comic books.

   At 1:00 in the morning, the official accounts of the two magazines posted Weibo at the same time.

   "NewWorld":

"Congratulations, Mr. Shen, as of the early morning of February 1, the total sales of the two volumes of "Y's" reached 450,000 copies, of which the second volume sold 180,000 copies. I hope that Mr. Shen will continue to work hard and get a better ranking. "

   "Dreamer":

   "As of the early morning of February 1, the sales volume of "Toddler" was 360,000 copies. Congratulations to Mr. Shen, and also thank Mr. Long for such a long effort."

   "Congratulations! Teacher Shen!"

   The four glasses with different drinks collided with each other and made a crisp sound.

   In order to wait for the final news, Gao Hang, Lu Ning, and even Xi Muhan, who has been on winter vacation, are anxiously waiting for the official Weibo of the two magazines.

   Until this moment, everyone's suppressed emotions finally vented.

   Gao Hang couldn't help but roared, holding the glass tightly and placing it heavily on the table, with tears in his eyes.

   Although he didn't say anything else, Shen Xin understood his feelings at the moment. After the victory of this duel, he also proved to Chen Zijiao that he was not the main reason for the fall of the score of "Toggle."

   Now, even if he is standing in front of Chen Zijiao, he has enough confidence to face Chen Zijiao with a calm heart.

   Lu Ning raised her eyebrows for joy, and she rarely smiled.

   As a member of the team, she is excited that the comics she participated in can achieve such results.

   Despite the heavy workload in the past month, it also gave her a deeper understanding of comics.

"Okay... don't say any more, let's have dinner." Xi Muhan brought out the prepared meals from the kitchen, "By the way, will Sister Yan come over? It's late at night, there should be no cars, right? ?"

"May I ask her?" Shen Xin took out his mobile phone and dialed Yan Fei's phone. After asking, he said to others, "Sister Yan has already rushed over. She was in another editor's car. Soon To."

   "Then I will make the soup quickly." Xi Muhan said in response, and Lu Ning hurriedly went into the kitchen to help.

   Not long after, Yan Fei came to the studio with a large bouquet of roses in one hand and a large box of cakes in the other. After seeing Shen Xin, she passed the roses.

   "Congratulations, the editor-in-chief asked me to congratulate you on behalf of the magazine. 180,000 copies were sold a week, which is only 120,000 less than "The Punishment", which is a really impressive result." Yan Fei smiled.

   "Are you mocking me?" Shen Xin smiled dryly.

"What are you talking nonsense? Is this absolutely true? There are no outsiders here. I can tell you the truth. In fact, the platform adds a lot to the work. If "Y's" is published in "ComicFuture" or "MangaFly" , It’s definitely hotter than it is now. After all, it’s the platform that limits you." Yan Fei sighed.

   "Haha...It's not bad now, let's be famous~www.wuxiahere.com~ and the rest will be discussed later." Shen Xin didn't bother.

"The Weibo sent by "Dreamer" is too insincere. At the beginning, it was said that the losing party would end within a month, but that Weibo did not mention this." Gao Hang said to "Dreamer" Weibo, brooding.

"Wang Wenhong explained this to me on the way to send me here." Yan Fei glanced at Shen Xin, "By the way, he said he will come over to congratulate you in a few days. Today he wants to comfort Chen Zijiao, no Come here."

   "It doesn't matter." Shen Xin shrugged.

   The matter of poaching out two assistants, Wang Wenhong absolutely cannot escape. Therefore, Shen Xin does not want to have too much contact with this person.

   "Actually, the reason why "Dreamer" posted on Weibo like that was that it gave him the step of "Toggle" and let him end it automatically. After all, Chen Zijiao also paid a lot for "Dreamer", is it a favor for him?"

   "What if he doesn't finish?" Gao Hang dissatisfied.

   "Everyone in the Yunhai comics circle knows about this. If he doesn't finish it, he will lose his trust. The magazine may consider this in the future." Yan Fei explained.

   Shen Xin is not too interested in Chen Zijiao now.

   The word-of-mouth pick-up of "Toggle" in recent issues is actually more like a glimpse. In particular, the quality of the latest episode has dropped drastically, once again pushing "Toggle" into a dangerous situation.

   Even if it is not over, it is difficult to turn over again.

   With the help of this incident, the domestic readers succeeded in getting the attention of "Y\'s". This is what made Shen Xin happy the most.

   He has to consider how to gain a firm foothold in the next few months and compete with "Crime" and "Hunting Abyss".
