017 terrible sales
In fact, except for Anjo, who is full of confidence in "Sakura Copy", none of the other editors-in-chief is optimistic about this delicate literary love comic.
Even Qi Heng, the editor-in-chief of Yuanwang Comics Agency, who followed the serialization, did not have much confidence in this comic.
If it weren't for the desperate situation of his position as editor-in-chief, and the praise of those judges and teachers for "Cherry Blossom Copy", plus the idea of holding a sword and taking a gamble, Qi Heng would be absolutely,
Absolute!
There will definitely be no serialization of "Sakura Copy", and even if it is serialized, it is estimated that it will be withdrawn after a while.
Because when he serialized the first episode of "Sakura Copy", the boss above him personally called to ask him what kind of crazy he smoked and how he serialized such a comic that seemed to have no commercial value at all.
Now he understands that someone is already impatiently staring at his position.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the old man who has a lot of opportunities to know about this matter so quickly, and in this case, he can only go all the way to the dark, trying his best to brag to his boss about how good "Sakura Copy" is.
I patted my chest and assured it, and even used the future guarantee after the position adjustment, which dispelled the boss's doubts.
Fortunately, his boss didn't know much about the comic market, which made him fool around.
It's just that after Qi Heng hung up the phone, he immediately called An Cheng, hoping to find a little confidence from him.
Ancheng is naturally full of confidence in "Sakura Copy", since he believes that the road ahead is bright, the persuasive words he says must be more convincing.
Well, after listening to such a confident analysis, Qi Heng's heart was settled a lot.
"It's just the second episode of the serial.,Judging from the fan letters sent and the comments on the Internet, it's still pretty good.,There shouldn't be any problem with sales.γ
Even if it is really popular, sales should not fall too much. Qi Heng flipped through the webpage and looked at the comments on "Sakura Copy" on the Internet.
Waiting for the secretary to get the sales report, from today's weekly sales, you can roughly see whether the serialization of "Sakura Copy" is good or bad for him, or whether it has no effect on him.
Qi Heng was flipping through the affairs document while waiting for the news.
But at this moment, the phone next to him rang.
The sales report over there should also come out, I don't know if it's good news or bad news.
Qi Heng stretched out his hand to answer the phone, wondering if it would be a call from An Cheng.
"Editor-in-Chief Qi, is the number jΓΉ out? What do you think. It was the voice of Tu Weiming Du's editor-in-chief.
"Today, a few of our editors-in-chief talked about the special issue.,Talking and talking.,I talked about the things at the meeting not long ago.,And then by the way, I thought of the second word of the serial.,If I remember correctly.,According to the rules of our industry.,Today should be the time to read the weekly sales report of this comic club.γ
So out of curiosity about what would happen to this comic, I asked Editor-in-Chief Du to call and ask. The voice that appeared again was Editor-in-Chief Qian, and by the way, I could vaguely hear Tu Weiming's voice on the other side, which seemed to be on the hands-free.
"I don't know why it's a little slow this time, and the number of jΓΉ tables hasn't come out yet." Qi Heng said truthfully, at this time in the past, the number table has indeed been made, but I didn't expect it to be a little slow today.
"It's not like it's selling badly, is it?" Editor-in-chief Qian seemed to be questioning on that side, but it was in an affirmative tone, "Lao Qi, I didn't say you, that guy in Ancheng and we are not on the same table, that guy's head burned out and serialized this is destined to be worthless comics, I didn't expect you to be serialized with the criminal."
Look at you now, are you too bad to sell and embarrassed to say it?
Hey, you're mixed up enough, people with normal heads in the industry, who would serialize this Po comics, it's just that you can't get along with money and your own performance.
Let's talk about it, what are the sales?
Remain at the original level of 4.3 million or 4 million, or drop to less than 4 million?
3.5 million or 3 million or something?
It can't even be less than 3 million, right? β
Just when Qi Heng was listening to the phone, the secretary brought the prepared report.
Qi Heng looked at the summary number on the report, his eyes widened, his face was full of joy and surprise, and he unconsciously read out: "This week, Yuanwang Comic Weekly sold about 5,734,400 copies. β
"Old Qi, what did you just say?" Editor-in-chief Qian approached the landline phone, and felt that Qi Heng on the other side should have read the wrong number.
At this moment, Tu Weiming, who was sitting next to him leisurely, also straightened up slightly.
"5,734,400." Qi Heng himself didn't dare to confirm it, so he read it again.
"Editor-in-Chief Qi, there is really no point in you telling such a lie, and the sales of various comic clubs are not difficult to check." Editor-in-Chief Qian frowned, feeling that Qi Heng was completely fooling them for the sake of vanity.
"If the numbers on the report are not misspelled......."
"Toot ~~~~ Toot ~~~~"
At this point, Qi Heng suddenly hung up the phone.
This is a number that he himself can't believe, and it has increased sales by more than 1 million, this kind of immediate sales increase, only those purple and gold gods in the three major comic companies will have such a strong effect when they draw the key plot.
But now a newcomer, a type of literary and artistic love comics that makes people shake their heads, has actually achieved such an effect, and there is something that makes him not surprised.
Moreover, not only was he surprised, but even he couldn't believe it.
In my heart, I was both an irrepressible ecstasy and a fear that the people in the market group would make a mistake in statistics, and in the end it would be just an empty joy.
Therefore, at this moment, he has to hurry up to confirm.
Confirm if the number that surprised him was true.
And at the moment in the office of Editor-in-Chief Du.
Qi Heng's phone hung up suddenly, and Editor-in-Chief Qian and Tu Weiming also looked at each other.
"What Editor-in-Chief Qi said just now should be 5.7344 million, right?" Tu Weiming asked uncertainly.
"That's exactly what I'm hearing." Editor-in-Chief Qian frowned and nodded slowly.
"Editor-in-Chief Qian, do you think the sales volume that Editor-in-Chief Qi said ......," Du Weiming said in a calm voice.
"Fake, Editor-in-Chief Qi must be joking. How can a literary romance comic bring such high weekly sales, this is just like the Arabian Nights.
Something completely impossible! Editor-in-Chief Qian is convinced of his judgment on the comic market, and firmly believes that Qi Heng is confused just now, and he said the self-consolation figures.
"I heard that Qi Heng's position as editor-in-chief was in jeopardy, and later, in order to increase sales, he desperately grabbed the unreliable comic "Sakura Copy".
If the weekly magazine is selling too poorly, it is not incomprehensible that he said this self-deception. Tu Weiming supported his face with one hand and rationally analyzed these quite reasonable words.
"Well, what Editor-in-Chief Du said makes a lot of sense." Editor-in-Chief Qian nodded approvingly.
This time, from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, he thought that Qi Heng's words just now were because he couldn't bear the poor sales and was in a trance.
It's just that a few days later, after they got the sales reports of the two comic companies that serialized "Sakura Copy", they were surprised to slip off the number table in their hands.
"The sales volume of the Painted Soul Comic Weekly is about 10,036,900 copies, and the Yuanwang Comics Club is about 5,734,400 copies"
"Fake, it must be fake." Editor-in-Chief Qian muttered.
"How can this comic drive such high sales."
"It's abnormal."
