Chapter 33: Posters
"Yunhai Roaming Bookstore" is the largest comic book store in Yunhai, and every day, thousands of comic books are sold from here.
All types of comic magazines across the country will be sold here, from the three major magazines to the small unknown comic magazines. If you really buy a magazine or comic that is too niche, you can also pre-order it here, as long as it is not an out-of-print comic, most of them can be purchased, at most it is just a waste of time.
Therefore, the sales of various magazines and single books in this bookstore have become the reference basis for various magazines in Yunhai.
Roaming Bookstore also knows the benefits of having good relationships with magazines, and has a lot of collaborations with many magazines.
For example, last time, the revision of "Dreamer" was promoted in advance in the roaming bookstore, so that many people who like comics knew about the revision of "Dreamer", thus expanding the readership of "Dreamer". "Crumbling" also became the top manga of "Dreamer".
"Hey, have you watched Dreamer?" A short-haired high school student said to the broken-haired high school student next to him.
"Not yet? I had a self-study session yesterday and when I wanted to buy it, it was already sold out. That's why I'm coming to Roaming Bookstore today. The broken-haired high school student looked helpless.
"Let me tell you, that hero named Ximen Yao followed Xiao Yuqian to school, and saw those girls in short skirts, who had a lot of nosebleeds and were locked in the girls' closet. In the end, a girl just opened the wardrobe, and the story was over, so boring. The short-haired student said.
"Ah...... You're so annoying, since it's a spoiler. I haven't seen it yet? The broken-haired student said angrily.
"Hee-hee, don't buy it, I'll bring Dreamer to school for you tomorrow."
"So what magazine should I buy this week?"
"New World." The short-haired boy said casually.
"Don't buy it. There aren't any good comics for New World lately. Why don't you buy Comic Future? ”
"Weekly Comic Future" has already bought it, and the boy with broken hair can only buy this magazine.
"Oh, I've bought this magazine too, and Crime is getting better. I'm telling you, that notebook has a strange ability to predict the future, but it also has its limitations. It can't predict the future of the notebook owner, it can only predict things within 24 hours......"
"Shhh......hh You're so annoying, can you not spoil it? I haven't seen it yet? ”
"Huh? It's been two days since the monthly Comic Future came out, and I haven't seen you buy it, so I thought you didn't care? ”
"Where? I just got my pocket money yesterday, how can I buy it? Moreover, a manga like "Punishment", you name it, you can't read it at all. I won't tell you, I'll buy magazines. ”
The two of them went to the magazine section on the second floor and went straight to the sales point of "Monthly Comic Future", only to find that this month's magazine and sales were all out.
"No way, it was the same in the last issue, it should be related to "Crime". Tomorrow, I'll bring you the monthly Comic Future as well. ”
The broken-haired boy nodded depressedly, it seemed that this was the only way to do it for now.
Since there is no longer a magazine of choice, the high school student with broken hair is also planning to go home, and when he turns around, the corner of his eye is focused on the poster hanging on the wall, and his eyes are immediately attracted.
"What's wrong?" The short-haired boy looked puzzled when he saw the stunned boy with broken hair.
"Do you see the poster on the wall? Seems interesting......" said the boy with broken hair, pointing to the poster on the wall.
The short-haired boy also turned his head, and sure enough, he saw the painting on the wall.
A long-haired girl in a purple school uniform suddenly looked back, her clear eyes were full of innocence, and at the moment when the four eyes met, the short-haired boy even felt a burst of heartbeat.
Damn, it's obviously a paper man.
The short-haired boy secretly pinched his legs and looked at the font of the poster again.
"A Different High School Life - "Y's", "Weekly New World" Issue 42, see you or leave."
"Huh? How many issues of Weekly New World are there now? ”
"I don't know, I haven't watched it in a long time." The broken-haired boy shook his head repeatedly.
"Issue 41 ......"
A voice reached the ears of two people.
The two boys quickly turned their heads, only to see a young man pushing the frame.
"I just saw this poster...... The poster is pretty good. ”
The two boys glanced back at the poster again and couldn't help but nod.
……
This time, "New World" did not promote "Y's" very much, but only sent some posters to several larger bookstores to help promote it.
However, in "New World" magazine, there is a half-page advertisement, which is also Yan Fei said a lot of good things to Shen Xin in front of the editor-in-chief. Although it is not possible to expand the readership, if it can stop the decline, it will achieve its goal.
For this advertisement, the "New World" magazine also has mixed reviews, especially Li Jiming, who felt that the editor-in-chief was too partial to Yan Fei, and gave the newcomer author a color page, and as a result, he was given another half page of advertising.
Yan Fei only said one sentence, leaving Li Jiming speechless.
"The color pages of "Y's" and "The Boy Chasing the Wind" have been handed in, let's see who is more suitable for the color page of the head, isn't it?"
The comic editors are all people who understand comics, and after listening to Yan Fei's words, they nodded one after another. Although Gong Yan is an old author, his color pages are really not good.
The controversy at New World subsided slightly, and Dreamer sank into the discussion.
"Hey, did you see that New World actually gave a half-page ad for a new comic? Who is this author named Shen Zheng? ”
Wang Wenhong got the original manuscript from Chen Zijiao, and as soon as he entered the editorial office, he heard someone mention "New World", so he asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
"Brother Wang is back?" When the female editor next door saw Wang Wenhong, she waved hello.
Wang Wenhong nodded, put the file bag on the desk, and looked at the other editors, "Is there anything interesting?" ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that New World has a half-page ad for the next issue of a new comic."
"What's this? What about our magazine's advertising in other magazines for "Crumbling"? Wang Wenhong pursed his lips, "I only dare to promote it in my own magazine, which shows that they don't have much confidence in this comic." ”
"Also, how powerful a rookie author can be." The female editor agreed.
"You can't say that, Chen Zijiao is also a newcomer, right?" Wang Wenhong corrected.
"Chen Zijiao is a genius of hundreds of people, you can't compare it like this, right?" The female editor retorted.
Wang Wenhong smiled and said nothing, but he was very useful in his heart.
"But...... The new author's style of painting is quite good, and it looks very comfortable. One of the editors said.
"Really?" When Wang Wenhong heard this, he also felt curious, and after taking over "New World", he watched it carefully, and suddenly noticed that this style was a little familiar, and then looked at the pen name - "Shen Zheng", it seems that he has never seen it.
What is the origin of this person?
Wang Wenhong looked at the sketches in the magazine and frowned.
