Just when Yan Fei knocked on the door of Shen Xin's office, Wang Wenhong also ran into the elevator in one go.

After the elevator door closed, he squatted on the ground weakly, wiped the sweat from his cheeks, and took two breaths.

Since Chen Zijiao agreed to compete with Shen Xin, he found that things were becoming more and more uncontrollable.

After getting out of the elevator, Wang Wenhong knocked on the door of Chen Zijiao's studio.

"Wang Bian ......" Ruan Ying looked at Wang Wenhong, who was sweating profusely, and looked confused.

"Is Mr. Chen here?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"In his own studio." Ruan Ying said.

Wang Wenhong bowed slightly, didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly pushed Chen Zijiao's room away.

"What's wrong?" When Chen Zijiao heard someone open the door, he turned around and saw Wang Wenhong, who was sweating profusely, with a puzzled expression.

"Something's wrong...... Su Han has just posted on Weibo that "Crime and Punishment" will be released on January 12. Wang Wenhong said.

"Huh?" Chen Zijiao blinked, then slammed the table, "Isn't "Crumbling" on sale on the 10th? Is Su Han messing with me? ”

"Probably not, the release dates of major magazines are set in advance. In December, "Comic Future" just released a new work of "The Legend of the Dragon King", and in February, the single book of "Hunting the Abyss" will also be released, and "Punishment" can only be picked in January. There's no way Comic Future could have had its signature comics fight each other. ”

Wang Wenhong was in a bad mood, he only focused on New World and Y's, but forgot to think about the activities of other magazines.

What a failure.

"What now?" Chen Zijiao said anxiously, "We can't meet with "Crime and Punishment", right? ”

"That's what worries me the most." Wang Wenhong sighed.

Neither the sales of "Comic Future" nor the readership and popularity of "Crime", "Crumbling" can not be compared.

Although the original works are all Su Han, there is no doubt that "Crime and Punishment" is Su Han's "own son", and the quality is no worse than her famous work "The Book of Seven Sins", while "Crumbling" is more like an "illegitimate child", not only has loopholes in the content, but she herself is not very concerned about "Crumbling".

"Now...... All we can do is avoid Punishment. Wang Wenhong said seriously.

"How to avoid it?" Chen Zijiao is like a headless fly, and his brain is a little messy.

"Crime is on sale in the middle of the month. If it is released according to the original release date, the sales of "Crumbling" will definitely be affected, and staggering "Punishment" will only allow "Crumbling" to move the release date forward or backward. The premise of the release period will shorten the publicity cycle of the single book, which will affect the sales of the single book. The delay in the release period may overlap with the release period of "Y's", and our advantage will no longer exist. You must think about the pros and cons. Wang Wenhong put all the causes and consequences of the whole thing on the table.

"What do you think...... Which is better? Chen Zijiao asked rhetorically.

Wang Wenhong looked at Chen Zijiao, and felt a little hatred in his heart.

Why are you so decisive when you want to make a trick?

"Then I'll reorganize the resources you can use. Yesterday, "New World" posted on Weibo that it will publish two episodes of "Y's" in the new issue of the magazine, and it is almost certain that they want to release a single book of the second volume of "Y's" within this month. Considering the new book printing and promotion cycle, Y's only has a one-week new book release period at most. The content that needed to be published in "Crumbling" had already been completed, so we had an advantage in choosing a release date.

"On top of that, you can also sign books at different bookstores. Since Shen Xin has already held this event, the effect of signing and selling books is definitely not as good as yours, it depends on your choice. ”

Chen Zijiao clasped his hands to his chest, his forehead tilted slightly, thinking about the pros and cons, and he didn't think of a suitable way for a long time. In the end, he simply took a heart and said, "Then it's ready to be released with "Y's". ”

Wang Wenhong's eyes lit up, Chen Zijiao's thoughts were the same as his.

"Reason."

"The issuance of a single book definitely needs publicity. If there is not enough time for publicity, the sales volume of the single book will undoubtedly be affected. I don't want to lose because of these factors. As long as I get two days before Y's release and hold back the momentum of its launch day, I should have a chance of winning. Chen Zijiao calmed down and said what he thought in his heart.

"Is there any other reason?" Wang Wenhong looked at Chen Zijiao in surprise, and he did take these two points into account.

"I didn't ...... Nope. ”

"At the end of the day, the most important thing about a comic is its quality. Before the release, set a complete story of three or four chapters to attract the reader's attention, then, there should be readers who re-pay attention to the new single book of "Crumbling". Remember, the best publicity is the comics themselves. Wang Wenhong said.

"But what kind of story can attract readers?" Chen Zijiao asked urgently.

Wang Wenhong sighed, this guy is really lazy...... Let yourself teach everything.

"The fastest and most effective way is to use Su Han's story." Wang Wenhong replied without thinking.

"Which story?" Chen Zijiao seemed to have found the "stone of victory", and hurriedly asked tightly.

"Don't forget, why did 'Crumbling' become like this? is because in Su Han's original work, the death of a character is mentioned, and all the spearheads are pointed at the male protagonist. Since then, the style of the story has completely changed. ”

"That's right...... We added a female character and then we started selling meat fighting styles. And that story is incompatible with the content that follows, so this story is not considered later. You mean, use that piece of text? ”

Wang Wenhong bowed slightly, "Su Han's ability to make up stories is first-class, although without Su Han's support in the future, the development of the story will be more difficult, but if you can't win "Y's", "Crumbling" doesn't have to think about the rest of it." So, still use this story. ”

"No problem." After figuring everything out, Chen Zijiao also had confidence, "I don't believe it, with Su Han's script and my painting work, I can't win against Shen Xin." You must know that "Y's" was firmly pressed by "Crumbling" before it was released. ”

Wang Wenhong saw that Chen Zijiao finally showed a smiling face, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from.

Wish...... Can you have a good result......

Wang Wenhong thinks that he has tried his best and has a clear conscience, but as for the result, it is no longer something he can control.

The advertisements for "Crime and Punishment" are overwhelming, and even Yunhai is not immune, the platform of the station and the subway are also full of advertisements, and the first page of Yunhai's comic forum is all about topics related to "Crime".

Not to be outdone, "Crumbling" and "Y's" also announced their release dates on Weibo, as well as advertisements for the two works on billboards outside major bookstores and supermarkets, as well as on buses and taxis.

The joy brought by New Year's Day has not yet dissipated, and the comic market in January is already full of gunsmoke.
