Chapter 83: Make up for it

The first edition of Y's was 100,000 copies.

The editor-in-chief was initially surprised when he received the report from the sales department.

Zombie Face's reaction was normal: "The sales of the first volume of "Y's" reached 230,000 copies, and even if the sales of the second volume are worse, it will not be less than 100,000 copies, and this is also what the president meant. Judging by my experience, it is likely that the second volume will be reprinted. ”

Of course, the editor-in-chief believed the words of the zombie face, but he didn't expect that this "soon" would be on the evening of the third day.

"The sales rate in the market is already more than 60%, so we will add another 100,000 copies." Zombie Face Notification Editor-in-Chief.

"So fast?" The editor-in-chief was surprised.

"The bookstores outside Yunhai City have digested thirty percent." Zombie Face said.

The editor-in-chief's mouth is slightly open, and his heart is beating rapidly.

Bookstores outside the sea of clouds also sold 30,000 copies, which means that "Y's" is gradually attracting the attention of domestic readers.

"By the way, driven by the release of new books, the first volume was decided to be reprinted with another 20,000 copies."

Originally, the first volume of "Y's" had already decided to be recycled, and now it was suddenly told that it would be reprinted again, which made the editor-in-chief feel like a dream.

It's been a long time since New World has seen anything like it. Wait...... is it really possible for "Y's" to hit the "Newcomer Award"?

If so, the next step is to make a good plan.

The editor-in-chief rubbed his hands, and the excitement in his heart overflowed his face.

"By the way, what's the situation with "Crumbling"?"

"It's not clear, there is no official data. But according to the news from the bookstore, its single-day sales are not as good as "Y's". Also, "Crumbling" also has sales in China, however, most of the sales are the first volume, and the sales are not as good as the first volume of "Y's". ”

"Oh."

The editor-in-chief breathed a sigh of relief, there are still a few days left until the early morning of February 1, if there is no accident, Shen Xin's showdown should be stable.

……

Chen Zijiao has slept poorly in recent days.

Originally, he wanted to go to the roaming bookstore to see Shen Xin's jokes on the release day of "Y's", but he was disappointed, and even a little uneasy and confused.

By the way, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he couldn't wait, so he ran back to the studio in a gloomy manner.

He tried to calm down and draw the original manuscript, but the picture he drew never had the desired result.

Today's situation is still not improving, before dawn, Chen Zijiao opened his eyes, lay in the quilt and repeatedly couldn't sleep, and finally simply got dressed, came to his studio, and drew the line drawings that were not finished yesterday.

Because he has something on his mind, the G pen in his hand is not as "obedient" as usual. When the ink line is applied, he even feels like he is unable to do it.

In desperation, he put down the G pen, leaned back in the chair, his eyes narrowed, and unconsciously, his consciousness was a little trance.

I don't know how long it took, the doorbell rang, Chen Zijiao suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the alarm clock in front of the table, and realized that it was already 8 o'clock.

He opened the door, Ruan Ying bowed slightly, and then followed him into the studio.

"I haven't drawn the original manuscript yet, you clean it first, and then I'll give you the original manuscript." Chen Zijiao said weakly.

Ruan Ying was slightly stunned, seeing that Chen Zijiao was in a bad mood, was it because of the duel with Shen Xin?

Thinking of this, Ruan Ying was a little weak-hearted, the fuse of this duel was her and Qiao Yu's job hopping, if she lost this duel, then her situation would not be very good.

"By the way, what about Qiao Yu? He usually comes early, too. Chen Zijiao thought of Qiao Yu.

"Huh? He...... Didn't he tell you yesterday......"

"Yesterday? Oh...... Come to think of it. He said he wouldn't come today, did he? I've not been in good spirits for the last two days and almost forgot about it. ”

After Ruan Ying and Qiao Yu arrived, he did not resign from another assistant, Xiao Liu, so he currently has three assistants, but the other assistant is far away from here and comes late every day.

Ruan Ying laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, the doorbell rang again, and Chen Zijiao turned around and asked, "It should be Xiao Liu." ”

"Is this possible......" Ruan Ying opened the door, but saw Wang Wenhong standing outside the door, "Wang Bian, why are you here?" ”

"I have something to look for Mr. Chen."

Seeing Wang Wenhong frowning, Ruan Ying didn't know why, but she still made a way for him.

"Brother Wang, what can't you say on the phone?" Chen Zijiao asked.

"I can't tell you on the phone." Wang Wenhong took two breaths, "I got more accurate news from the store managers of major bookstores and the editorial circle of Yunhai, and the total sales of "Crumbling" have been surpassed by "Y's". ”

"So fast?" Chen Zijiao was a little incredulous.

Now there are still three days left until the early morning of February 1, how can it be overtaken so quickly?

"Sales of Y's in the domestic market continue to rise, and the first volume has been reprinted with 20,000 copies, and it is estimated that there may be more reprints in the future, let alone the second volume. Of course, its sales are definitely not as good as "Punishment", but the gap between "Crumbling" and it is afraid that it will widen. ”

Ruan Ying heard Wang Wenhong's words, her mouth opened slightly, she looked at Chen Zijiao, and then at Wang Wenhong, only to feel that her hands and feet were a little cold.

Once "Crumbling" loses the duel, it means that she will only be able to work here for a month at most.

"How so?" Chen Zijiao's eyes widened, "Didn't you say that "Crumbling" has risen to the third place in the questionnaire survey of "Dreamer"? ”

Wang Wenhong sighed, "That's right, but you have to be clear that the second volume of "Crumbling" does not have the content you are drawing now, not to mention that "Y's" has been the first place in the "New World" questionnaire in recent months. There is a gap in the quality of the single book of the two comics. ”

"Then why did you pit me against Y's?" Chen Zijiao's face turned red and he was a little crazy.

"Since you started to put aside Su Han's text, the gap between "Crumbling" and "Y's" has gradually widened, can't you see it? Not only that, but even in "Dreamer", the ranking of "Crumbling" is gradually decreasing. If you don't fight this one, you don't have a chance at all. Wang Wenhong said.

"That'...... What do I do now? Chen Zijiao panicked.

"The only thing I can do is to call on readers on Weibo to buy a single copy of "Crumbling"." Wang Wenhong gritted his teeth, this is undoubtedly Chen Zijiao's last hope.

Chen Zijiao was silent, turned around and walked towards the studio.

"By the way, isn't Qiao Yu here yet?" Wang Wenhong remembered that Qiao Yu came early every day, but today, Qiao Yu's workbench was cleaned up.

"He has something to do today, I'll give him a day off." Chen Zijiao pushed open the door of the studio and said casually.

Ruan Ying quietly raised her hand, "Editor Wang, in fact, Qiao Yu should not mean 'not to come today', but 'not to come from today'." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Wang Wenhong was surprised.

Chen Zijiao also stopped, turned his head, and looked at Ruan Ying with a shocked expression.

Could it be that this is what Qiao Yu said yesterday?

Possibly, after all, he was in a trance and may have heard it wrong, but ...... But why is you so aggrieved?

Ruan Ying smiled awkwardly, "That is to say, he resigned and quit." ”

Quit......

"He offended Shen Xin, and now he has made this incident again, does he still want to mix in the sea of clouds?" Chen Zijiao roared.

"He's going to Hongchuan to break through...... It seems to be today's ticket. Ruan Ying said.

"What about wages? You haven't paid your wages for the week, have you? Wang Wenhong asked.

Ruan Ying scratched her head, with mixed feelings in her heart, "Teacher Shen asked Yan to make up it not long ago and gave him a reward of 20,000 yuan for a single book, so he shouldn't be short of money recently." ”

Chen Zijiao's mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Wang Wenhong clapped his hands helplessly, he finally knew what Shen Xin was in at that time.
