Chapter 144: Gradually Becoming Clear (Asking for Subscription)
Netizens didn't care about Ye Hexu's true thoughts.
The competition for the newcomer award is already in a white-hot stage, even if netizens don't add fuel and vinegar, each author is in a state of tension.
Ye Hexu's new book release and Weibo have poured a layer of hot oil on this tense atmosphere.
"Teacher, what should I do?"
Gao Hang had two dark circles under his eyes and was covered with cold sweat.
Shen Xin also shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Cold salad." ”
Ye Hexu's explanation is true or false, in fact, it doesn't matter, the reality is that "Y's" and "Hunting Abyss" must influence each other.
The comic of "Hunting the Abyss" is still on the air, and there are still three words left, which is the most essential part of a drama, Shen Xin watched two episodes, and he felt enthusiastic, not to mention other animation lovers.
The sales of "Hunting Abyss" have soared, which is also very related to the high-level production of animation, which has successfully driven the sales of "Crumbling".
"Y's" is also in a good situation.
The pinnacle of fancomics brought Neorld great popularity, and the magazine sold more than 110 copies at one point, which gave Song Tae hope for the rise of the magazine, but after the championship was elected, Neorld's sales fell back to 950,000 copies.
With this competition, "Y's" has maintained a good popularity, and the long reviews related to "Y's" have emerged in an endless stream, and even analysis posts have appeared to discuss the final direction of each female character.
Although the sales of "Y's" have been surpassed by "Hunting the Abyss", the reader's stickiness is extremely high, and the number of votes will be 300,000 every day, so "Hunting the Abyss" has not been able to close the gap with "Y's".
This time, two books were released one after the other, and it was hard not to get others into the picture.
"How's your work going?" Shen Xin asked Lu Ning.
Lu Ning let out a sigh and twisted his neck, "There are still three pages of the original manuscript to complete...... Gao Hang, where are you? ”
"Me? I may have two more days to ......," Gao Hang said nervously.
"Don't be in a hurry, just take a break when you're done. Many manga artists don't pay attention to taking care of their bodies, and when they get older, they will suffer from many diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to combine work and rest. ”
This is not alarmist, many manga artists were not too old when they died, the "god of manga" Osamu Tezuka was only 60 years old when he died, and the author of "Doraemon" Fujiko · When F. Fujio died, he was only 63 years old.
From this point of view, cartoonists are indeed a high-risk industry.
Gao Hang listened to Shen Xin's words and nodded again and again.
"By the way, teacher, you don't sign books anymore?" Lu Ning suddenly remembered this.
"Well, some will be signed for a lottery, and as for the book signing, there may be none."
It is impossible for Shen Xin to hold a book signing and sales meeting every time he publishes a single book.
Shen Xin signed and sold the four-volume single book before, but if there were too many times, the effect would not be very good.
"Will the reader have an opinion?" Gao Hang was surprised.
"That can't be helped. I need to catch my breath. Shen Xin smiled, but he still couldn't hide the tiredness on his face.
During this period, he felt a lot of pressure both mentally and physically, and "Y's" was temporarily ranked fourth, but this position was not what he wanted.
In front of "Y's", whether it is "Hunting Abyss", "The Top of Basketball", or "Crime and Punishment", the strength should not be underestimated, and more importantly, these three comics are from the three major magazines "ComicFuture" and "MangaFly".
In the past fifteen years, the newcomer awards have been divided equally among the three major magazines, this time, can "Y's" break this rule?
Shen Xin is confident in the quality of Y's, but he is worried about what kind of choices readers will make, and what kind of impact the magazine's inter-agency game will have on Y's.
Even, Shen Xin did not rule out that "Y's" would become a victim of the struggle between the two magazines.
When it was confirmed that there would be no autograph session for the fifth volume of Y's, many readers protested, while others expressed concern about the future of Y's's new monograph.
On September 7, the fifth volume of "Y's" was released, and the fifth volume exceeded 100,000 copies on the first day, reaching 500,000 copies in the first week.
On the premise that there is no book signing as a gimmick, the sales of "Y's" have made Shen Xin very satisfied.
"Hunting the Abyss" still maintains a hot popularity, with 130,000 copies on the first day of the fourth volume and 600,000 copies in the first week, not only winning the first place in one fell swoop, but also opening up the popularity value of 2 million with the second place "Y's".
But that's not the final ranking of the leaderboard.
"Top of Basketball" released the seventh volume of the single book on September 14, and with the blessing of the anime, the sales of the new single book of "Top of Basketball" reached 350,000 copies in the first week, with a slight advantage, overtaking "Y's" and temporarily becoming the second place.
But it didn't sit in second place for long, and the fanfic created by Lu Ning, Gao Hang, and Zhou Yang was also published in Neorld.
Shen Xin was pleasantly surprised when he saw the comics that the three of them had completed together.
The background is written by Gao Hang, and the quality is undoubted, which fits the comics well.
The fandom drawn by Seven Grapefruit and Echo is a big lack in the background, and although they are also drawing it very carefully, it is still much worse than Gao Hang, who is a professional assistant.
It's not that this is a disadvantage of their group.,Actually,Most fanartists、Or just starting out in the industry,,It's not very good at drawing backgrounds.,Because background drawing not only requires solid basic skills.,At the same time, it also hone the patience of the painter.。
When a person spends a lot of time drawing backgrounds and effect lines, it can be very boring, so patience is also important.
In addition, Lu Ning's control of the characters has also improved a lot, and she can better grasp the demeanor and feeling of the characters than the seven grapefruits and the aftersound.
Needless to say, the storyboard designed by Zhou Yang has become a professional cartoonist after all, and his understanding of storyboarding is much more powerful than that of the same person.
The work that these three people completed together made Shen Xin nod his head again and again, and at the same time gave a thumbs up to Lu Ning and Gao Hang.
The vote published by the magazine confirmed Shen Xin's guess, and among the 1,000 questionnaires randomly drawn, the official fanfic won the final 50,000 yuan reward with an absolute advantage.
This high-quality fancomic,Let the readers of "Y's" feel surprised,More than 500 words of long reviews,Successively posted on the forum of the comic network,The number of daily votes for "Y's" has also climbed again,Single-day recommendation votes exceeded 300,000,The sales of a single book also exceeded 150,000 copies within a week。
"Y's" once again surpassed "Top of Basketball" and became the second place on the rookie list.
As October gets closer and closer, the ranking of the newcomer list is gradually becoming clearer.
At the same time, Echo and Seven Grapefruit also received invitations to visit Shen Xin's studio.
