Chapter 14 Questionnaires

The publication of "Love Equation" has set off a lot of waves in the small city of Yunhai.

Yan Fei knew that this comic had been recognized by many people, and the editor-in-chief had mentioned it more than once in the editorial office.

On the occasion of the imminent arrival of "Weekly Dreamer", the editor-in-chief will only look a little better when he mentions "Love Equation".

"The questionnaire is out!" As soon as the deputy editor-in-chief entered the editorial office, he shouted loudly.

Yan Fei, who was working, immediately raised her head and looked at the deputy editor-in-chief who walked in front of the printer.

"It's really nerve...... It would be nice if Shen Xin could be serialized. Xiaoli stuck to Yan Fei's ear and muttered quietly.

"Be patient...... Hopefully he can get a good result. Yan Fei replied in a low voice.

While the two were talking, the deputy editor-in-chief came over and handed the photocopied questionnaire to Yan Fei.

"When will this newcomer be able to draw a serialized draft? The editor-in-chief is looking forward to it. ”

"Huh?" Yan Fei rarely saw the deputy editor-in-chief say so directly, "Can it be serialized?" ”

"Get the name up first, and then think about the serialization, it's better to hurry." The deputy editor-in-chief admonished.

“…… Oh. Yan Fei nodded again and again, and waited until the deputy editor-in-chief turned around and handed the remaining copies of the questionnaire to the others, and then she asked Xiaoli in a low voice, "Why is the deputy editor-in-chief in such a hurry?" ”

"Can you not be in a hurry? Today the weekly Dreamer was released. ”

Yan Fei suddenly realized that there was a connection between the top management of the magazine, and they may have "declared war" in private, wanting to seize each other's weaknesses and then give a fatal blow.

"It seems that I have to discuss the matter of the new comics with Shen Xin." Yan Fei muttered quietly, glancing at Xiaoli sitting next to her, only to see her eyes staring straight at the questionnaire in her hand, "What's wrong?" ”

"Approval rating...... The support rate on the questionnaire is so high......" Xiaoli pointed to the ranking on the questionnaire and said in surprise.

After Xiaoli's reminder, Yan Fei also moved her eyes to the questionnaire.

The reader's questionnaire is generally divided into two parts, one is the voting column for serialized comics, and the other is the voting and reader response area for short stories.

Normally, due to the certain amount of popularity that serialized manga has accumulated, their support rate is relatively fixed, and the number of people willing to vote for them will be higher. Short comics are in a much more awkward situation, relying on only forty or fifty pages of plot, it is difficult to attract readers, so usually, unless a famous writer submits, the votes will be very scattered.

This questionnaire is a little different, out of 1,000 questionnaires, more than 50% of the people voted for short comics, and among these 50%, 60% of them voted for Shen Xin.

In other words, if it weren't for Shen Xin's cartoon, maybe only more than 200 people would be willing to vote for the short story.

"Why is this happening?" Yan Fei was surprised.

"My sister, you're his editor-in-charge, you should know it!" Xiaoli glanced at Yan Fei angrily.

Yan Fei shook her head slightly, "I just thought this comic was very good, but I didn't expect it to be so popular." ”

Editors can usually only judge the quality of a work based on experience, but whether a manga is really popular with readers has many factors, whether it is the subject matter, the depth of the story, the manga artist's ability to draw or make up the story, and even luck.

"Wait......"

She stood up suddenly.

"Hey, Sister Yan, what are you doing?" Xiaoli hurriedly asked.

"Take a look at the questionnaire for this issue." As soon as Yan Fei's words fell, the person had already left the editing room.

There must be a reason for such a high turnout, not only because of the addition of "meat" drama, so she wants to look at the age of the readers who voted, and the reason why they voted.

Yan Fei came to the reference room, found out the latest issue of readers' votes, and randomly checked nearly six or seven hundred questionnaires, and the doubts in her heart gradually became clear.

She put the six or seven hundred questionnaires into a bag alone, hurriedly returned to the editing room, and dialed Shen Xin's phone.

"Hey, Shen Xin? Where are you? ”

"At home, I'm drawing." Shen Xin said.

"New name?" Yan Fei was surprised.

The short story has just been published, but Shen Xin is drawing a new name, which is really diligent.

"Sort of?" Shen Xin has a black line.

He heard the surprise in Yan Fei's words, but he was slightly embarrassed in his heart.

Actually, he also has a few alternative comics, but he hasn't decided which one to choose, so he drew a name casually, hoping to find inspiration on the one hand, and on the other hand, practicing storyboarding.

Even if he wants to draw those comics that have already been published, he has to grow with each storyboard, otherwise he is no different from a machine that can only draw.

"Take your name, and we'll meet at Starbus in two hours."

"Two hours later? Why this time? Shen Xin glanced at the time, it was just noon, and if he pushed back two hours, it was the hottest time in summer.

It's really uncomfortable to go out at this time.

"I'm going to buy magazines, today is the first issue of "Weekly Dreamer", as opponents, we must know something about them, I think you also want to know what level Chen Zijiao's new work will be, right?"

Shen Xin responded, this is not wrong.

So, two hours later, we met at Starbus...... To be honest, I don't know if I'll be able to get my hands on it? ”

Will Dreamer be such a hit?

Shen Xin was deeply suspicious of this, and after hanging up the phone, he went to the bookstore where Xi Muhan worked.

When Xi Muhan saw Shen Xin, he was stunned, Shen Xin rarely came to this bookstore. After Shen Xin explained his intentions, Xi Muhan spread his hands.

Sorry, it's sold out.

After the store manager knew that Shen Xin was the author of "Love Equation", he immediately showed enthusiasm and called several nearby bookstores, and as a result, "Dreamer" was all sold out.

At this time, Shen Xin knew that he had guessed wrong, and "Dreamer" received unprecedented popularity after the revision.

There are also reasons why this magazine is so popular.

First of all, the magazine revision has an inexplicable attraction to the general reader, and in the final analysis, it is a curiosity hunting psychology. However, whether they were readers of Dreamer before, they all wanted to see what the revised Dreamer would look like, and at the same time, such a magazine was also commemorative and collectible.

Secondly, before the revision of "Dreamer", the magazine advertised in many media, which made many comic friends pay attention to this.

Again, it's the quality of the content, and in the final analysis, if a magazine wants to sell well, its quality must be excellent. There is only one way to judge the quality of the magazine, that is, whether the comics are eye-catching, and it is obvious that the quality of this issue is very "hard".

Of course, the most important point is that the dealer did not expect Dreamer to be a hot seller, and to put it more bluntly, it was a lack of goods.

Shen Xin can only order one at the bookstore and come to pick it up when the magazine arrives.
