Chapter 135: Yan Fei's Plan
The next day, New World's official Weibo released the first day sales of the fourth volume of "Y's" - 95,000 copies.
Shen Xin was surprised that in the face of the aggressive "Crime and Punishment", "Y's" was only slightly at a disadvantage, and the gap was not big.
For this result, Shen Xin is completely acceptable, but the readers of "Y's" are in a different mood.
"5000 copies...... There are only 5,000 copies left, and the first two words of the radio drama can be released, which is really hateful! ”
"Don't just buy books, don't forget to send surveys. 300,000 in total? ”
"Yes. Go to the post office today. ”
The moderator of "Other Sections" also made a post.
"Yesterday, I grabbed 432 comics signed by Mr. Shen, and I will send them to you in the order of payment. If there's anything you don't want, send me a private message. If you don't grab it, you will be refunded to everyone. ”
Next, the landlord posted the IDs of 432 netizens on the first floor, and asked these IDs to send him a private message to confirm the information again.
The "Other Sections" are buzzing, but "Comic Future" is quieter.
Although "Crime" sold more than "Y's" on release day, the gap between the two was not large, and this was achieved on the premise that "Crime" released both a radio drama and a novel. In other words, Y's has now been embraced by a subset of readers.
For many Comic Future readers, it's hard to accept this reality.
Some of them hadn't even heard of New World, let alone Y's.
But it was such a comic, which was unknown a few years ago, that turned out to be on the same level as "Crime", which surprised many readers of "Comic Future".
"What's the origin of this Y's? So powerful? ”
"The author's ability to compete for this year's 'Newcomer Award' means that Y's is his first full-length comic."
"I know, but a newcomer to a small magazine is not weaker than Su Han and Jumping......"
"That shows the quality of the comics is outstanding."
"I suddenly want to read this manga......"
"But don't be too pessimistic, although there is not much difference in sales between the two comics, the novel of 'Crime' also has 150,000 copies in the first week, and it also sells well."
"Ha, for Mr. Su, this should be a basic operation, right?"
……
After Shen Xin signed and sold the book, his right hand was always sore, even if he rested for a night, the soreness in his muscles did not disappear.
Fortunately, he didn't have to work for the next few days, and he could take a breather.
After calling Xi Muhan and making sure she was fine, Shen Xin asked her what she wanted.
"I bought everything I wanted last time, so you can just have a good rest."
Xi Muhan said.
Shen Xin heard the anxiety from her tone, so he laughed dryly, "Tomorrow, right?" I'll go back tomorrow. ”
The three assistants originally said that they wanted to take a good turn in Nanjiatan, but since the end of the book sale and after returning to the hotel, the three of them never mentioned this matter again, but nested in their respective rooms, and when Shen Xin saw them in the restaurant the next day, the three of them had a pair of dark circles on their faces.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Xin was surprised.
"Teacher, we've decided, to collaborate on a doujinshi of "Y's". Zhou Yang said.
"You guys?" Shen Xin was surprised.
"That's right...... I've been studying with you for half a year, so I want to try to see if my painting skills have improved. Lu Ning looked serious.
"I'm in charge of name, and I'll practice the storytelling." Zhou Yang touched his nose and looked excited.
Gao Hang opened his mouth and scratched his head again, "Teacher Shen, I'm ...... I mainly want to practice a different background, and in the future, Zhou Yang will leave, and our workload will become larger. ”
"Uh...... If you think so, that's fine. Shen Xin scratched his head, but this was not fair to the other contestants.
"We only draw fanfics, we don't participate in competitions." Lu Ning saw Shen Xin's doubts, "We just look at our learning results in the past six months." ”
"That'...... Looking forward to your work. ”
Now that the three of them have made up their minds, Shen Xin has no reason to stop them.
The four of them stayed in Hongchuan for an extra day, bought the books and tools they needed, and returned to the sea of clouds on the afternoon of the fourth day.
Yan Fei, who returned to the sea of clouds a day earlier than them, sorted out the plan of the same person and the bonus pool that night, and the next morning, he took the written plan and found the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief read the plan three or four times, rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, and finally said: "The plan is good, but the operation is a bit complicated. ”
"But it will work well." Yan Fei said.
"That's right." The editor-in-chief bowed slightly, "But the president probably won't agree." ”
"Why?" Yan Fei was surprised.
"You don't need to ask, but you brought Ji Yinxuan in." The editor-in-chief said meaningfully.
"So what do you mean...... No way? Yan Fei had a headache.
The editor-in-chief's temperament is already soft, and the operation of the comic "Y's" is the responsibility of the president himself, and the editor-in-chief will not discuss "Y's" with the president unless necessary.
"It's not impossible...... the editor-in-chief frowned, and after thinking for half a minute, he suddenly stood up from his seat, "Let's go, see the president." ”
Yan Fei's eyes brightened, followed by the editor-in-chief, and left the editorial office.
Song Tai has been in a very good mood in the last two days.
The fourth volume of "Y's" sold 18 copies just two days after it was released, which is even more powerful than "Punishment", and the advertisements in the radio drama also increased the cost after the release of the third volume, barely maintaining the break-even, and the sales of "New World" rose steadily, reaching 850,000 copies.
If the next two months continue, New World could even surpass one million copies.
"Dad, I estimate that this week, Y's will sell more than 500,000 copies, breaking the record of our magazine again." Song Ren looked at the report in his hand, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
"If we can enter the ranks of first-line magazines during this period, even if Mr. Shen leaves, as long as other excellent authors enter, we can still stabilize. By the way, you prepare, in October, we will receive a large number of papers, and the remuneration will be higher. Both newcomers and old authors, we have to sign to see if we can take advantage of this momentum and turn over completely. ”
Song Tai knew that Shen Xin had made up his mind, so he had already prepared for the worst. On the one hand, the magazine needs to support newcomers like Zhou Yang, and on the other hand, it needs to invite famous cartoonists.
Previously, the volume of "New World" was too small, and the more famous cartoonists in the industry were reluctant to come.
Once the sales of "New World" in a single issue exceed one million, it means that "New World" has a certain strength.
Then, after another year or two, "New World" may not be able to squeeze into the top 10, which will be attractive to other cartoonists as well.
"Don't worry, I know how to do it. If we can find an old author who has become famous, we don't have to worry about the surname Shen changing jobs anymore. Song Ren glanced at the form in his hand and sneered.
Even though Y's brought a lot of money to the magazine, he still didn't like the feeling that it would disappear at any moment.
Holding it in your hand is the most steady.
first declared war on Chen Zijiao without authorization, and then categorically refused to cooperate with "New World", these factors made Song Ren have no good impression of Shen Xin.
"We are now with Teacher Shen in both glory and loss, you kid, don't do stupid things." Song Tai glared at Song Ren.
Song Ren loosened his shoulders and was a little depressed, "Dad, I can still tell the priorities of the matter." ”
Just when the two were chatting, the editor-in-chief took Yan Fei and knocked on the door of the president's office.
