On the day of the release of the two weekly magazines of "Second World" for boys and girls, Ying Sick has been dealing with things in the company all day, and there are more things to do, and he has a desire to control, so it is natural for him to work.

In the afternoon, Shangguan Xiaobao also came to his office, sat aside, and quietly waited for the employee's reply.

Shangguan Xiaobao and Huang Yulang are the same famous palace-level grandmasters. From the 1970s to the 1980s, he was one of the two major icons of the Hong Kong comic industry. The characters in the pen are vividly described, the action scenes are tricky and difficult, the plot is rich and complex, and the text columns are even more funny and spicy, with something to say, and very readable.

In the 70s, the kung fu craze of Li Xiaolong, the elder brother of the sick man, spread throughout Southeast Asia, and Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao met at the same time, and at the same time promoted the extremely powerful and aggressive martial arts masterpieces - Little Rascal and Li Xiaolong. Although the content of Li Xiaolong's content is similar to the martial arts line of the little hooligans, the story is often infused with important elements of family struggle and chivalrous hatred. Moreover, Li Xiaolong's style and consciousness are also less hooligans with depth and high level. In the early days, Bruce Lee's sales once threatened the champion status of the little hooligans, and if it weren't for the publisher's proprietress who scolded the unenterprising Huang Yulang, who made Huang Yulang work hard to write the little hooligans, maybe Li Xiaolong would have been the emperor long ago. Like Huang Yulang, Shangguan Xiaobao also has apprentices, Huang Weizhao, Huang Guoxing, Niu Lao and Zhao Rude, etc., are all from his disciples. It's a pity that most of his apprentices are clutches, coming and going.

Shangguan, who is in his thirties, can barely be regarded as a young talent, but he is compared to Huang Yulang. Shangguan Xiaobao is really not enough to see, his painting skills and fame are on par with Huang Yulang, and he is far more diligent and down-to-earth than Huang. It's a pity that the business mind was thrown out a few streets by Huang Yulang.

Win the illness and know it with affection, move it with reason, buy the staff and machine of his painting club with hundreds of thousands, and hire him with a high salary to sit in the position of creative director and comic editor, comic editor, as the name suggests, the main responsibility is to edit the manuscript and typeset. An issue and a volume of exciting or heartfelt comics are also inseparable from the finishing touch of the editor. It is inseparable from the patient, meticulous review and editing of comic editors. It can be said that responsible editors have a great influence on cartoonists, and can save cartoonists from many detours. However, this undoubtedly has no effect on winning the disease, mainly for cartoonists who joined in the future. He is also a columnist.

Shangguan Xiaobao is a passive person and is very content, this kind of person is the best employee for a boss like Yingzhi.

And winning the illness has handed over to him the comic versions of the two novels "Sou Shen Ji" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which is also a reason that impresses him. He painted "Bruce Lee" for more than ten years. Since then, Huang Feihong has painted "Huang Feihong" when he is popular, and Fang Shiyuhuo has painted "Fang Shiyu", anyway, he has no brains to follow the trend and not worry about sales.

Shangguan Xiaobao, who is satisfied, is grateful to win the disease, so doing his best to help him do things is his current idea.

"Ying Dong, with the quality of "Football Player" and "Sailor Moon", the sales should not be bad!"

Shangguan Xiaobao took a sip of tea while holding the teacup, looked at the winner in front of him and said softly. As the director of two manga magazines and a god-level cartoonist, he believes in his vision. In Shangguan Xiaobao's opinion. Both of these comics are excellent works, whether it is the artwork, the plot or the charm of the characters, as long as the quality of the back remains the same, then the sales will soon open.

Win the sick and smile slightly. But he didn't speak, he naturally knew how good these two plug-in comics were, and it could be said that they crushed similar novels of the same era, even in the twenty-first century, they were impeccable. Big sales are inevitable, but in the early stage, winning the disease has not grasped the pulse of readers, in a word, the market is the best way to test the work.

"Tuk-tuk."

"Come in."

Soon after the time, an employee in charge of sales of the art club entered the office, with obvious excitement on his face, and handed the notebook in his hand to Ying Zhiji, which recorded the sales situation in the morning.

Win the illness has not been in a hurry to see, took a sip of tea, full of aroma, this is the female secretary Jin Raojian brewed for him, it seems to be a good Longjing, and it seems to be a big red robe, anyway, he is a layman in the tea ceremony, and he will drink it.

Seeing that he was not arrogant or impatient, Shangguan Xiaobao secretly admired that he was really a person who did great things, and he was always so calm. After a little groaning, he secretly glanced at the big boss of Win, hurriedly suppressed his mood, put his eyes on the notebook, came to him, and looked at the dense numbers on the notebook.

"It's pretty good, the two magazines are all out of stock, and they have sold 20,000 in one morning, and a few newsstand owners have called us to print them and send them over! Do you say this is a good thing, Ying Dong, according to today's trend, today's sales may reach 30,000 copies! It's all thanks to you, especially since "Girls' Weekly" has received quite a good response in the market! I think I can tell the publisher about it, and then order 10,000 copies! ”

Shangguan Xiaobao carefully reviewed the bunch of numbers in the book, his eyes followed closely the total sales that fell at the back, and his face was full of excitement. He kept talking about it, as if he had drawn two comics. But it's no wonder that as a senior member of the magazine, the better the magazine version, he also has a share of credit.

The Second World Men's and Women's Weekly had produced two batches before, each with a quantity of 10,000, adding up to 20,000. After all, this is the first issue, and Ying Zhiji and Shangguan Xiaobao actually have no bottom in their hearts, and it is not until now that they are stunned to find that the 20,000 copies of the magazine have been sold out. I can't help but think about it.,There must be a large number of fans who win the disease.,But they can't absorb so much.,Many of them should be interested in the comics in this magazine before buying.。

After winning the disease, he said: "Let's make another 20,000 copies, the most important thing is to open the market." ”

Let the staff in charge of sales go to the publishing house again, and then rush to produce the last 20,000 copies, and Ying Sick feels that this number is almost enough for the market to digest.

Although Shangguan Xiaobao thought it was a bit much, thinking about the popularity of this handsome boss who had no friends, he opened his mouth and obediently closed his mouth. After all, this big guy is different from ordinary people, talent and popularity are absolutely proportional, he is the top superstar in Xiangjiang today, and he still needs to talk about his popularity!

It's just that it's hard to say how long his fans can support it, after all, it's the first time to draw comics, what will be the reader's reaction, and in the end, it depends on whether the quality of the work is outstanding, otherwise no one will play with you for a long time.

"Twenty thousand, it's not bad, I believe it will get better and better in the future!" After Win Sick and the others left, this was like Shangguan Xiaobaodao. The face is still very flat, in fact, this is also what he expected, if he can't even do this little increase, how can "Football Player" and "Sailor Moon" become classics, but this also made him make up his mind and decided to strike while the iron is hot!

"I also think so, in the future, the 'second world' will all rely on winning Dong to support the façade!" Shangguan Xiaobao's masterpiece "Li Xiaolong" was serialized in "Dongbao", and the sales of "Dongbao" have been high, and he has no confidence in his other works, so he has this to say. He also really wants the comic company 'Second World' to be good.

Ying Yiji nodded, and handed the briefcase in his hand to Shangguan Xiaobao. "Director Kwong, this is a new cartoon I have drawn in the past two days, and I am going to put it in the boys' weekly next week, as well as the following part of the storyboard draft, please take a look!"

Shangguan Xiaobao was surprised, the football boy elementary school chapter and the first part of Sailor Moon had been drawn, enough to be serialized until the end of 1974. He didn't expect that only two days later, he would say a new comic, play me, don't he know that this seems too urgent! How many pages can be drawn in two days, even he is afraid that he will not reach ten pages.

Shangguan Xiaobao slowly stomped down, laughed at him and said, "Win Dong is really joking." ”

"If you don't give some strength, you still think I'm an idol." Knowing that he didn't believe it, he smiled mysteriously. Motioned for him to take it:

"Arrogance also requires ability! And I happen to have! (To be continued......)
