After the end of the "Yan Fei dismissal incident", the editorial office of "Neorld" fell into chaos.

This confusion is not only due to the drop in sales faced by Y's, but also partly due to the fact that without the latest issue of Y's, the magazine will have 20 pages blank.

How to choose a comic and supplement 20 pages has become their most urgent problem.

Although the magazine has signed a contract with a cartoonist, the cartoonist is also a human being, and there will be illness, hospitalization, and personal affairs, so many times the editor needs to urge the manuscript, otherwise the skylight will be opened.

Yan Fei was "resigned", Li Jiming was also expelled, Xiaoli didn't want to embarrass Shen Xin, and resolutely refused to accept it, quite a "kind of "fire me if you have it".

There are not many editors in the small magazine, and two have been fired, if Xiaoli continues to be fired, Song Ren is estimated to come to work in the editorial department in person.

This kind of thing, he would never do.

No one contacted Shen Xin, so the matter was put on hold for the time being.

In addition, because it is a small magazine, in the final analysis, the contract is not as strict as that of a large magazine, at best, it only frames the rights and interests of the cartoonist, and some details are not written in the contract - when the contract was formulated, they never thought that "Neorld" would have such a popular work as "Y's".

Faced with this situation, there is really nothing the management can do.

finally selected a short comic and sent it to the printing house, and Song Ren finally remembered Shen Xinlai.

Plucked up the courage, picked up the mobile phone, and called Shen Xin, but no one answered.

Song Ren asked Xiaoli for Shen Xin's address, and Xiaoli shook her head again and again.

"Except for Sister Yan, no one in the magazine knows where Teacher Shen lives." Xiaoli saw Song Ren's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and hurriedly "slipped away": "I'm sorry, president, tomorrow "Ghost Potential" will be released, I want to go to Mr. Zhou to have a look." ”

"Oh...... Eh...... You ......"

Song Ren only had time to say three words, and Xiaoli ran into the elevator, while the others in the editorial department bowed their heads deeply, not daring to speak.

In desperation, Song Ren could only return to his office depressed.

"Sales fell by up to 200,000 copies—"

Song Ren rubbed his forehead, this was a prediction he made with a ruthless heart.

For a magazine that has just sold 1.1 million copies, a 200,000-volume drop in a single issue is already a very exaggerated figure, but Song Ren feels that it is acceptable.

On the one hand, the original sales of "Neorld" in a single issue were between 600,000 and 700,000 copies, and if there were still 900,000 copies in this issue, he would be able to take a breath; On the other hand, if there is no Shen Xin, the magazine can also maintain the sales of 900,000 copies in a single issue, which may also be a good sign - the sales of a magazine cannot be controlled by the popular comics, otherwise, the magazine will never be able to become stronger.

Song Ren's killer feature is the release of "Ghost Potential", using "Ghost Potential" to stop the decline.

However, things turned out the opposite of what he expected.

The release of "Neorld" did not make much waves, and many manga forums only discussed it slightly.

"Don't buy it, there's no Y's in this issue."

"Didn't the magazine apologize?"

"What's the use of apologizing? Didn't Mr. Yan still not go back to the magazine? ”

"Huh...... Ladies and gentlemen, if you encounter something like Teacher Yan and you don't do anything, you will be thrown off, will you go back to work? ”

"Even self-esteem is important."

"Don't put too much emphasis on self-esteem until you're successful."

"Teacher Yan is not successful? Mr. Shen won the 'Newcomer Award', and Mr. Yan also put in the effort, right? ”

"Don't forget, before that, the 'Newcomer Award' was from the three major magazines, and Mr. Yan was better than the editors outside the three major magazines."

"I'm not going to buy Neorld anyway."

"It's not interesting, why not buy ComicFuture if you buy a magazine like this? The two magazines are about the same price. ”

"But what about "Ghost Potential"? It's kind of interesting, too. ”

"Isn't it okay to pay the bill?"

"Yes."

"Upstairs, I don't want to give money to such a disgusting magazine. slandered Teacher Yan, and the wicked sued. ”

"I don't want to buy ...... when I hear you say that"

……

Zombie Face knocked on the door of the president's office and handed the latest statistics table to Song Ren.

Song Ren roughly looked at the statistical table, and his hands trembled.

Sales of "Neorld" plummeted by more than 400,000 copies, and the sales of a single issue did not exceed 700,000 copies in the end.

Is this rate of decline more than an avalanche for Neorld? It was a big earthquake.

"How is that possible? How is it possible to drop 400,000 copies a week? Song Ren broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, looking at the zombie face in front of him with a hideous face, "Is it a statistical error?" ”

"Nope. There's a reason it's down so much. Zombie Face explained.

"What is the reason?"

"For one, "Y's" attracted a subset of domestic readers, and when "Y's" stopped serializing, "Neorld" lost its appeal to this part of the audience.

Second, under the influence of public opinion, netizens and readers have a negative view of the magazine and a sense of rejection of the magazine. As a result, the sales of the magazine have declined. The proof of this is that while magazine sales have fallen, sales of Y's have risen. Last week, Y's sold 200,000 copies. ”

Song Ren listened to the analysis of the zombie face, his face was pale, and his nails were buckled into the flesh.

At this point, it's useless to say more.

Reduced losses? It's down 600,000 copies, how can we reduce it? Neorld's sales this week have been surpassed by Dreamer......

Damn it.

"Those cartoonists who are somewhat famous...... What about their grades? ”

"It might be better for you to ask the editorial office about this. They know better than I do. However, I heard that several old cartoonists who have come recently have not done well. ”

"Waste...... A bunch of rubbish! Song Ren angrily slammed the table.

MD, it's all stinky shrimp and rotten crabs! Completely unreliable.

Waiting for the zombie face to leave the room, Song Ren leaned on the boss's chair, weak.

It's just a little bit ...... As long as Neorld is stable at one million sales, it will be a matter of time before it enters the first-tier magazines.

Outcome......

Now it's all gone.

Suddenly, the mobile phone rang, and Song Ren hurriedly sat up straight and picked up the phone. Seeing that it was the old man's call, his expression immediately became nervous.

"Dad...... Dad......" Song Ren's voice trembled a little.

"How's Neorld going?"

"A lot of ...... drop"

Song Ren looked embarrassed, but he didn't tell the truth, the old man had a bad heart and was still in the hospital, in case he was stimulated, "Neorld" would really be over.

"400,000 copies down?" Song Tae asked.

"How do you know?" Song Ren's face turned pale in an instant.

"Waste...... Rubbish! Song Tai scolded angrily, "I asked you to contact Teacher Shen, what did he say?" ”

"Dad...... Can't be reached. Song Ren was about to cry.

"You send a car to pick me up at the airport in the afternoon......"

"Huh? No, Dad, aren't you going to have surgery? Song Ren panicked.

"When I had surgery, the magazine went out of business!" Song Tai said angrily, "I want to discuss a mutually acceptable plan with Teacher Shen!" ”
