On June 1st, the editorial office of "Comic Future" was also in a state of turmoil.

They will be in contact with the sales department to determine the number of releases for the 22nd issue.

In recent times, sales of Comic Future have been steady at three million copies, and sometimes even fall below that number.

Ye Hexu's "Demon Dao" was at a low point, while Luo Zheng's "Idol Era" and Han Ye's "Magic Creation World" were in a scorching "bitter battle" at this time, and the sales of the 21st issue of the magazine increased slightly, reaching 3.1 million copies.

In this case, the determination of the sales of the 22nd issue of "Comic Future" is a bit confusing.

The sales department meant to keep it at 3.1 million copies for the time being, and they were really afraid that there would be too much overstock, but the editorial department thought that the number was too low.

Shen Xin's new work is serialized, and the sales of the magazine will definitely not be so low, which can be judged from the number of subscriptions to the remake of "DN".

In the end, Shang Haozhi mediated many times before the sales department agreed to increase the sales volume to 3.3 million copies.

The number has increased to a certain extent, but for the editorial department, it still feels that it is not enough, and they have great expectations for "SLAM DUNK", hoping that this comic will bring new surprises to "Comic Future".

However, in fact, they also know in their hearts that even if the quality of "SLAM DUNK" is good and Mr. Shen has his own fans, it is also unknown how many sales this comic can drive.

The increase in sales of 200,000 copies is already a very exaggerated number.

On June 1, the 22nd issue of "Comic Future" was officially released.

Due to the fact that "Comic Future" has done enough publicity for "SLAM DUNK" some time ago, many readers know that "SLAM DUNK" is about to be serialized, and they have lined up early, and as soon as the major bookstores open, readers want to rush into the bookstore at any time.

The owner of Jiman Bookstore has not seen so many readers queuing up to buy magazines for a long time, so he immediately asked the salesperson to take care of the readers in line.

Can a comic save a magazine?

This kind of thing has basically never happened before, can "SLAM DUNK" really do it?

The bookstore owner isn't so sure.

Anyway, judging by the attitude of readers, they have high expectations for this manga.

Hope for a good result, right?

This is not only his hope, the paper media has been sluggish for a long time, and if there is no phenomenal work, it is estimated that the paper comic market will continue to slump.

Major bookstores are waiting for such works to appear, and according to past results, Shen Xin is indeed the most promising to do so.

Although the college entrance examination is imminent, the attention of some high school students has shifted to the exam, but people who have already read comics on the Internet have already begun to discuss comics.

In the major comic forums, "SLAM DUNK" has become the only topic of discussion among readers, and on Weibo, for a while, it has become a headline.

"I watched the first episode of "SD" the first time. The header color page plus Mr. Shen's super strength looks very emotional. ”

"Don't say it, Ikebana laughed at me, there is such a strange thing, I don't know how to be ashamed."

"One thing to say, that spread, the momentum that should be drawn is still drawn, ikebana leaps and dunks, when I see this page, I even feel suffocated."

"That's right, comics nowadays rarely give people this feeling, and I even feel like I'm going to get out of the pit!"

"No, a lot of comics nowadays have webtoons, which are easy to read, but they don't have spreads. Now I find that this kind of hot-blooded comics or magazines look comfortable. The delicate lines are not weaker than the color man. ”

"Is it okay? In addition to "DN" and "Demon King Century", there is at most one "Sky Wolf", the quality is not bad, and the quality of other color comics cannot be compared with "SLAM DUNK"! Let's not talk about the characters. Talking about character drawing, composition, and storyboarding, it's simply bullying those comics, just looking at the background, especially the spread, the level of detail of the background, killing other comics. ”

"yes, I thought I was the only one? I didn't expect you to be too. ”

"BY THE WAY, THE STADIUM IN THE FIRST EPISODE OF SLAM DUNK IS A BIT LIKE OUR SCHOOL."

"Really? What school are you from? ”

"The sea of clouds is in the first place. Also, some of the school buildings are similar to our school. ”

"Teacher Shen shouldn't have really filmed in Yunhai No. 1 Middle School, right?"

"It's possible, "Y's" should also be framed with a sea of clouds, right?"

"Really, but a lot of the buildings in Y's have been demolished. It seems that Mr. Shen has a 'soft spot' for Yunhai No. 1 Middle School. ”

"Excuse me, you're talking about Ikebana being a basketball genius, right? Like Haruka Tamagawa's "Slam Dunk". ”

"I haven't watched "Slam Dunk", but Ikebana is a basketball novice, before going to high school, he has never been in contact with basketball at all, and he confessed to different girls fifty times in a row, all of which ended in failure, just when he lost confidence, he met Mu Qingzi, and Mu Qingzi was looking for basketball players, and under all kinds of coincidences, Ikebana came into contact with basketball."

"The first episode has a lot to do with basketball, but it's hilarious, for example, Hanamichi jumps up and dunks — that's the spread — and then he hits the basketball board on his forehead."

"So, this comic is a bit funny."

"yes, but it looks comfortable."

"Isn't sports comics all about blood? If there is too much fun, will it affect the grades? ”

"I think it's okay, Mr. Shen has been preparing for nearly two years this time, and the plot should be deliberated repeatedly."

"Oh, it's the college entrance examination on one side, and SLAM DUNK on the other, please tell me what to do?"

"Hurry up and take the college entrance examination, "SLAM DUNK" at that time just happened to be serialized to the second episode."

"I'M AFRAID I WON'T SEE THE FIRST EPISODE OF SLAM DUNK."

"Don't worry, Mr. Shen is the top cartoonist of "Comic Future", and he is also the number one cartoonist in China, he is now our top brand, and he is also the best cartoonist in the whole of China. The magazine should take a risk. ”

……

The editorial and sales departments of Comic Future were busy when the new issue of the magazine was released, and many bookstores called on the second or third day of the magazine's release to order more books, and the sales department kept in contact with the warehouse to get the books out as soon as possible.

Jiang Zhong scratched his head, staring at the table on the screen, his expression a little anxious.

From the current point of view, it is possible that there are no 3.3 million copies left in stock for this edition, but it is not realistic to want to reprint.

He didn't know exactly how many copies were missing, but the printing house was also printing the next issue of the magazine, and no matter how many sales this issue were, it was only 3.3 million.

At this moment, Jiang Zhong was a little entangled.

As a sales manager, he wanted Comic Future to be a big hit, but the issue was selling so well that he was worried about whether the magazine would run short of sales.

Alas, it's annoying.
