Chapter 990: Angry
Luo Zheng turned his head and saw Zuo Yuan, stunned for a moment.
He knew the relationship between Zuo Yuan and Shen Xin, and the incident at that time caused a sensation in the comic industry.
It can be said that without Shen Xin's sacrifice of his life, Zuo Yuan might really be gone.
Later, Zuo Yuan stumbled, and along the way, because "Comic Future" lacked a manga for children under the age of 12, he only gained a firm foothold in "Comic Future" with "12 Years Old Again".
The new work "Dad's Daily" tells the story of a young man who has just graduated from college and accidentally gets a large egg, and after hatching, there is a little girl in it.
The story is the story of a young man and a little girl.
The ranking of the small books of "Dad's Daily" is stable at 8th to 9th, but the single book sells very well.
Many people thought that the people who bought the books would be children, but later the magazine did a survey and found that a large number of people who bought comics were people over 20 years old, and they were attracted by the cuteness of the little girl, and they shouted "Moe is justice".
It is said that although only 5 volumes have been published, the anime has already been put on the agenda, and it is estimated that it will set off a wave of enthusiasm at that time.
Although the small book "Dad's Daily" is not as good as "Idol Era", the momentum of the whole comic is going up, and "Idol Era" has been left behind after the explosion of the top comics some time ago.
In the future, it may be surpassed.
"Ask him?" Luo Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then began to tangle in his heart.
Usually, he has always regarded Shen Xin as a competitor, especially when "Steel Refining" was serialized, due to a period of interruption, he was seized by "King of Rock" and accumulated a lot of popularity.
Now that the results of "Idol Era" are declining, he is also a little confused about the future, whether to continue to draw "Idol Era", or start anew and create a new book, he is not ready. In addition, the magazine also did not agree with the end of "Idol Era", on the grounds that the results of his next comic may not be as good as this one.
"I said a long time ago, let you ask him, you don't ask......" Ye Hexu put a piece of sponge cake into his mouth and narrowed his eyes.
"Let me tell you this, when I was discussing the new book with Brother Xu, I had no idea, at the wedding of Mr. Wang and Mr. Yan, I mentioned this matter to Mr. Shen, and Mr. Shen said, 'You can pass on the happiness of having a daughter to more people', which is why there is "Dad's Daily", and the meaning of Mr. Shen's words is also obvious, the main readers of this comic are not children, but people who like children. So, I won't question Mr. Shen's suggestion. ”
There are some things that are difficult for others to know if they don't say it.
Ye Hexu also knew about it for the first time, stuffing the cake in his mouth and forgetting to chew it.
"Sometimes, someone else's words can give you a line of thought, and I think that's very important." Zuo Yuan reminded again.
He is now convinced by Shen Xin, Shen Xin saved his life, and gave him the idea of a new book, and there is nothing in return, so he can only work hard to create.
Luo Zheng nodded, thinking twice in his heart, and felt the need to talk to Shen Xin.
He was about to go to Shen Xin, when suddenly, in the innermost part of the hall, the sound of a trial microphone sounded, and at the same time, the lights in the hall were much dimmer, and the lights on the high platform inside were lit up.
Yu Chen stood on the high platform and said two sentences: "Everyone, please look here...... "Comic Future" is in its 34th year this year, and we have all struggled together for 34 years. In a short period of time, there are troughs and highs. I am here, on behalf of Yishu Culture and the editorial department of "Comic Future", I would like to thank you, I think there should be applause here. ”
As soon as the words fell, the hall remembered the thunderous applause, especially the last sentence, which let many cartoonists know that Yu Chen, who is usually not smiling, actually has a humorous side.
The applause gradually fell, and Yu Chen said again: "Today, I am very happy that Mr. Shen is also here at the annual meeting, and I would like to invite Mr. Shen to say two words." ”
Shen Xin, who was in the audience, smiled helplessly, and in the applause, walked onto the high platform and took the microphone from Yu Chen's hand.
"Since the editor-in-chief asked me to say two words, then I will say two words. First of all, I am very happy to be here today for the annual meeting; The second sentence is to have fun. ”
“……”
Yu Chen has a black line.
Anyone who has studied Chinese knows that sometimes a specific number can be an imaginary number, just like thinking twice, not thinking three times, but thinking repeatedly.
He asked Shen Xin to say two sentences, this "two" is an imaginary number, which means that Shen Xin is asked to say two sentences, but Shen Xin took it as a real number, and he was going to come down after really saying two sentences, of course he couldn't agree, blocked the staircase, and asked Shen Xin to say two more words.
"Two more words?" Shen Xin was surprised.
"Don't ...... Say a few words. Yu Chen hurriedly waved his hand.
Originally...... Shen Xin sometimes jokes.
So, Shen Xin returned to the stage with an innocent face.
"Ahem, I'm back again."
There was a lot of laughter below.
"Alas, the editor-in-chief did not 'keep his promises', and I had to 'work overtime'. Actually, I don't think there's anything to say, because cartoonists are a group of people who are quite homely, and I talk too much, and I will tell my usual self. ”
The bottom laughed again.
"As you all know, there was a period of time when sales of Comic Future continued to decline, and now they have stabilized, but it is not because of a certain manga, but because of the efforts of everyone present, the magazine has come to this point, and I thank you here. Of course, my 'thank you' does not represent the magazine, but only myself.
"The increase in magazine sales shows that the magazine has good comics, and it is easy to bring more people into the circle of comics, and when readers are exposed to different comics, this is a good thing for many cartoonists.
"As for me personally, I have a small goal in the new year, I hope that the volume of "SLAM DUNK" will exceed 1.3 million copies, and I also hope to see better works on "Comic Future". Thanks a lot. Shen Xin bowed slightly and walked off the stage.
The previous words, others still felt that it was normal, and Shen Xin's words were also relatively restrained, and suddenly came to the last sentence, especially "I hope that a single volume can exceed 1.3 million copies", and many people had two words in their hearts, "bragging".
It's not impossible to do 1.3 million copies, but without animation promotion, it's really not easy.
Recently, under the premise that the animation has not been released, the average volume has exceeded one million copies of the comic "DN", listening to Shen Xin's meaning, the sales of "SLAM DUNK" are higher than "DN".
This is somewhat of a blowing ingredient.
What's even more unacceptable is that this is just a "small goal", as if it can really be achieved.
It's infuriating.
