Bao Jiyi rubbed his temples again.

As a manager, he certainly knows the importance of core resources. Similarly, although he is the chairman of Yishu Culture, there are still restrictions when it comes to making certain decisions.

After all, Yishu Culture is not his company alone.

The distribution of "73 open" mentioned by Shen Xin made the magazine feel a little lost in terms of revenue, and at the same time, the management also felt offended - if the magazine only took "three", it was a change of initiative.

If other cartoonists follow Shen Xin's example, how else will the magazine operate?

Bao Jiyi also cares about this the most.

"I know your difficulties, but you're going to make me bet on other people's mouths, right?"

Bao Jiyi is a pun.

If Shen Xin really shows superior strength, he can not only gag the mouths of the management, but also other cartoonists - if you want privileges, you can, Mr. Shen is your benchmark, not to mention surpassing Mr. Shen, at least the grades can't be too different.

Taking a step back, if Shen Xin didn't do it, he could also convince Shen Xin - you see, it's not that I don't give you a chance, it's that you don't grasp it.

In this way, he can advance or retreat, at least he can seize the initiative in the confrontation with many people.

However, it is impossible for "Steel Forge" to suppress Wang Yunze's new work throughout the process. Again, the two sides have different starting points. If it's just a word or two, that's pretty much it. ”

"That's right...... Do you know that Wang Yunze's new book will be serialized in the middle of the year? ”

"Hmm."

"In the first episode of Wang Yunze's new book, the results of the two people can't be too different."

"How do you decide the winner?" Shang Haozhi asked rhetorically.

"A week after the release of the new book, the online popularity value of the two comics was within 100,000."

"That's ...... Let's talk about it first, if "Steel Refining" is leading, there is no limit of 100,000 heat values. ”

"Of course. The more Steelforge leads, the better. But can Steelforge take the lead? Bao Jiyi questioned.

In the early stage of a comic, it mainly relies on the first word to increase popularity. Moreover, Wang Yunze is the main cartoonist of Duoman.com.,Multiman.com will definitely carry out a series of activities around Wang Yunze.com.com.cn

It is still difficult for "Steel Forge" to surpass the popularity of the first episode of Wang Yunze's new book.

"Since it's a bet, you must think about it comprehensively." Shang Haozhi said in response.

"Well, that's the first one."

"Huh? And a second one? ”

"Of course, the first article can only show that the ceiling of "Steel Forge" is high, but the quality of a comic cannot only look at the ceiling."

Shang Haozhi was patient and nodded: "What is the second one?" ”

"The second is...... From now on, to the end of "Steel Refining", there is a postponement year, and in the postponement year, the sales of a single book of "Steel Forged" in China will exceed 10 million copies. As for the month from which month the extension year starts, it is up to Mr. Shen to decide. ”

"Huh? Postponement of the year? The last time the manga sold 10 million copies a year was more than 20 years ago, right? Shang Haozhi's eyelids jumped, "Moreover, now that we have to face the impact of webtoons, this sales volume is basically impossible." ”

The so-called postponement of the year means that it starts from a certain month of the year and is postponed for 12 months after that, so there is a possibility of a new year's eve.

"The Legend of the Dragon King" sold only seven or eight million copies a year at its best.

12 months, 10 million copies......

This kind of sales is in the 11th district, which is also the top ...... No, it's a one-of-a-kind comic, and there are only 1 or 2 copies of the entire 11 districts at this level.

"But it's a little bit simpler than the annual sales in a calendar year. As for what to do, you can discuss it with Mr. Shen. Bao Jiyi reminded.

10 million copies...... How is it possible?

Shang Haozhi is a little big, this condition is indeed a bit harsh, but even if he supports Shen Xin again, in this case, he still has to stand on the side of the magazine.

"Okay, I'll tell Teacher Shen about your conditions and see how he answers."

Shen Xin should also make his own request.

If nothing else, Shen Xin may be pressed to eight million copies of a postponed year. This sales, if "Steel" works hard, it should be able to do it.

The production of the App cannot be done in three or two days, and when it is launched, it will be half a year later at the earliest.

The magazine was separated into a separate department, which to a certain extent freed the editorial department of "Comic Future", but in the future, the relationship between the two departments should also be competitive.

So Shang Haozhi doesn't have to worry about the app, mainly in Shen Xin.

Leaving Bao Jiyi's office, Shang Haozhi returned to the editorial office, saw Wang Wenhong who was working, and called him.

"Put on your coat and go out with me." Shang Haozhi said.

Wang Wenhong didn't know why, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and followed Shang Haozhi out.

"What's the matter?"

"Go find Teacher Shen." Shang Haozhi whispered.

"Huh? Looking for him? Did you really talk about Mr. Shen just now? Wang Wenhong's heart tightened.

"Hmm."

"What result?" Wang Wenhong hurriedly asked.

"Isn't that still talking?" Shang Haozhi's expression was serious.

Along the way, the two men were not talking.

Wang Wenhong can also see that Shang Haozhi's mood is not good, indicating that there should be difficulties in the negotiations.

When the two came to Shen Xin's studio, Shang Haozhi explained the reason for the incident clearly, and Wang Wenhong immediately shook his head.

"The first one is easy to say, the second one is too difficult! The domestic comic market has been hit by webtoons. If you add District 11, it should be possible. ”

Shang Haozhi glanced at Wang Wenhong angrily, if District 11 is added, the sales of "Steel Refining" are now approaching eight million.

"What was the domestic sales of "Steel Refining" last year?"

"About five million copies." Shang Haozhi replied.

"It's going to be doubled." Shen Xin clasped his hands to his chest.

"The only advantage of "Steelcore" is that there are still animations that have not yet been released. However, I think it's still too difficult to exceed 10 million copies in a postponement year. Wang Wenhong sighed.

Shen Xin frowned, thinking about the feasibility.

After being silent for three or four minutes, Shen Xin finally looked up at Shang Haozhi.

"Good. I promised, however, the magazine must give me the help I deserve, otherwise, it will be difficult for "Steel Forge" to compete with Mr. Wang's new work. ”

"No problem. But 10 million copies ......"

"That's my business, you help me tell Dong Bao that the '73 open' I said before is invalid. If I do both, he will promise me the same conditions as I do today. ”

"What are you?"

"Keep it a secret. He can also refuse, hoping that everyone will be more simple and not grinding. You can also help me convey this sentence to him. ”

During the period when "Steel Forge" was serialized on Earth, the annual sales volume was about five or six million copies.

Compared with the earth, Shen Xin also has his own advantages.

First of all, Earth's "Steel Forge" is a monthly magazine, and he draws a weekly magazine, which doubles the content updated every year, which means that the number of single books sold every year doubles; Secondly, the number of readers in China is more than that of the earth, which is also determined by the difference in the number of people, and again, the animation has a bonus to "Steel Refining", and now, the animation has not been released.

More critically, Bao Jiyi is not mentioning the annual sales volume, but the total sales volume from a certain month to the next 12 months.

Shen Xin can choose 12 consecutive months with relatively high sales.

Of course, there are disadvantages, that is, how much influence the webtoon has on the single book, no one knows.

In fact, Shen Xin is also gambling.

There are some signs of loosening in the comic market, and he must come up with unnatural results in order to seize the initiative.

It's also an opportunity for him.
