Chapter 680: Votes

After Yan Fei's new book was released, she went to the bookstore and the sales department from time to time.

After all, the first edition of 2 million copies of comics in China is the only one.

Once it is unsold, it is estimated that "Comic Future" will be in the doldrums for a while.

Fortunately, the sales volume of the last two single books of "Steel Refining" is not bad, although there is no detailed statistics, but the sales department estimates that the sales volume of each single book should be between 700,000 and 800,000 copies.

According to this trend, breaking one million in a single week is a sure thing, and the magazine should also be satisfied with this result.

Yan Fei returned from the sales department and had just entered the editorial department, when she suddenly noticed that everyone else was looking at her, especially Yu Chen, with a somewhat strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Yan Feihu said suspiciously.

"Nothing ...... the last two volumes of Steelforge happen, how's it going?" Yu Chen coughed lightly.

"Each book is estimated to sell 700,000 copies, and there is no problem with breaking one million in a single week."

As soon as the words fell, Yan Fei saw the editors' faces change slightly.

Some of the readers who buy a single book are people who have participated in the work.

Usually, they don't have time to read magazines, so they can only find time to buy a single book, and choose their favorite single book of comics according to the popularity of the comics or the animations released.

Now, the mobile app and the D version have affected the sales of comic book singles to a certain extent. Readers, whether they are students or office workers, can take out their mobile phones to read comics when they take the subway, or they can glance at their mobile phones after the lights are turned off, especially office workers do not need to deliberately go to the bookstore to buy books after a tiring day, as long as there is traffic or wifi, they can read at any time.

In this case, the sales of many manga monographs have declined, and the income of webtoons has increased. Like "Steel Forge", which sold 700,000 copies in two days, it is almost impossible to achieve.

Although this figure is only an estimate of the sales department, the difference between the actual sales volume and the estimate is often less than 50,000 copies, so it can be used to make a rough guess.

"The little book of 'Comic Future' is out." Hook explained.

"Really? I'm going to take a look at it and hopefully "DN" has a good result. Yan Fei put the document on her desk, sat down, and clicked on the mailbox.

The first place in the small book is Ye Hexu's "Demon Dao", with 463 votes.

Yan Fei was a little frustrated when she saw this ranking, but she also knew in her heart that short stories did have disadvantages compared with serialized comics.

The disadvantage of "DN" is that some people have used the golden finger of "notes", and because it is necessary to tell a story completely in a limited space, the structure of the plot is somewhat simple, and many places that need to be foreshadowed are only brushed aside, and the protagonist has no rivalry, so that the plot is weak.

Yan Fei knows these weaknesses, and besides, the arrangement of the short story of "DN" is very careful, and she can't find a better way to deal with it.

Although "Demon Road" only has one sentence, it is better to set up suspense and lay the groundwork for the follow-up space, but short comics do not have this opportunity.

What's more, in the subconscious of some readers, short comics are always inferior to long ones.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that "DN" was surpassed by "Demon Dao".

Shen Xin doesn't have too many requirements for the results of "DN", the main purpose of this short story is to let readers know Sulfur and know "DN", and then, when drawing a long story, everyone will not feel unfamiliar.

Yan Fei looked down the ranking, followed by "King of Rock and Roll", "Otherworldly Restaurant" and "Ding Food", ...... "12 Years Old Again" also unknowingly stabilized at No. 8.

Yan Fei kept aiming at the last ranking, but didn't find "DN", so she was surprised: "Team leader, what about "DN"? ”

"Didn't add it...... Ahem, after all, this is a small book on the serial list, and it's not good to stuff a short story. Hook coughed lightly.

Small books have little impact on "DN", and magazines use the vote of "DN" more to compare with other serialized comics to measure the quality of Shen Xin's new book.

After all, "Comic Future" has been published for so many years, and it is the first time I have encountered a cartoonist like Shen Xin, so I have to be cautious.

"And how many votes are there for DN?" Yan Fei asked.

"489, at the back of "Demon Dao", there is a "*". Hook reminded.

Yan Fei noticed that there was a note after the title of "Demon Dao".

Her gaze immediately moved to the bottom of the email, and sure enough, she saw a line of words.

"DN" ranked first in Xiaoshu with 489 votes, and because it is not a serialized work, it is not included in the official ranking of Xiaoshu."

Yan Fei snorted, she finally understood the reaction of the others.

So many serialized comics, pressed by a short story, are really not very glorious.

Yan Fei secretly added the votes, and the votes of the other twenty comics added up to 2504 votes, except for a few postcards that only voted for two, and the rest was the votes for "DN".

"By the way, Xiao Yan, you urge Mr. Shen and ask him to hand over the name of "DN" as soon as possible, and then, you go to District 11 with me."

"Huh?" Yan Fei was stunned.

"To promote "DN", please also tell Mr. Shen, this time, the response of "Youth Leap" is not too strong, it is said that it is not worried about the quality of "DN", however, there are other magazines that want to introduce "DN", the specific situation, wait for us to go to District 11." Yu Chen explained.

If the animation copyright is in the hands of "Comic Future", Yu Chen doesn't mind going to Orochi or other animation production companies, but now, he can only contact Shen Xin himself.

Yan Fei nodded.

It is not difficult to understand that "Young Leap" has this reaction, and the last 30 or so episodes of "Steel" are all large, and each sentence is at least 40 pages. During the serialization of "Steel", it is estimated that a certain manga of "Shonen Leap" was squeezed out, and there may be opinions within the magazine. More details can only be found out after going to District 11.

However, the name of the first three episodes of "DN" has not come out until now, which also surprised Yan Fei, after all, what Shen Xin said is very punctual under normal circumstances.

This time, in the short story of "DN", Shen Xin still did not submit the name of "DN".

If you think about this kind of thing, you will know that it is too difficult to create continuously. The line drawing of "Y's" needs to be drawn, and the name of "DN" needs to be drawn...... Most people shouldn't be able to do that.

She glanced at the ranking on the display screen, thought about it for a while, picked up the phone, and dialed Wang Wenhong's mobile phone.

"Lao Wang, can you help me ask Mr. Shen, how is the name of the first three episodes of "DN"?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Yan Fei directly threw out the question.

"Come here and get it, shall you? It's already out. Wang Wenhong's answer was very simple.

So fast!?

Yan Fei was startled, but still a little skeptical, "Are you sure?" ”

"Of course sure, I'm watching. One word, 'awesome'. Judging from the plot seen so far, this comic may be the ceiling of evil comics. ”

“……”

Yan Fei's heart was full of depression.

This is what Yan Fei hates the most.

Obviously, she is the editor in charge of Shen Xin, why does she have to see the name after Wang Wenhong!?

It feels like being calculated by Wang Wenhong......

In addition to some complaints, Wang Wenhong's words also made her have a strong sense of curiosity about "DN".

The ceiling of evil manga!? Is there really that kind of thing?

Hanging up the phone, Yan Fei stood up and said to Yu Chen: "Mr. Yu, the name of the first three words of Mr. Shen's new book has come out, I'll go over." ”

The eyes of the other editors immediately fell on Yan Fei.

"DN" serialized name!?

Each editor suddenly felt like they had been pricked by something.
