Chapter 534: Catching Up
On the Internet, the popularity of "Steel Forge" has risen rapidly with the increase in discussion.
"Age of the Gods" due to the serialization of the second episode, which also made its discussion hot, remain high.
Although it is still at the top of the list, "Steel" is gradually closing the distance with it, and as for the follow-up comics, the gap with the two works is getting bigger and bigger.
Shang Haozhi kept pressing F5 to refresh the page.
He gets excited every time the gap between the two manga closes.
All day, Shang Haozhi's heart was very worried, and when he was about to get off work, the difference between the two comics was only 100,000 popularity value.
If "Age of the Gods" is serialized again, it is estimated that the gap between "Steel" and it will be widened again.
I'm so sad.
Shang Haozhi rubbed his face, his mind was messed up.
"Editor-in-chief, "Age of the Gods" has sent the third word!" Wang Wenhong stood up and said to Shang Haozhi.
As Shen Xin's editor-in-charge, he has not let go of his mind for a whole day, and he is worried all the time.
The third word?
The muscles on Shang Haozhi's face were a little stiff, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Is it really over?
At this moment, Yan Fei's mobile phone suddenly rang, and everyone's eyes fell on her.
She quickly apologized, picked up her phone, and left the editorial office.
Shang Haozhi's eyes fell on the computer screen, but at this moment, he was not in the mood to click on "Age of the Gods" again.
After a few seconds of distraction, Shang Haozhi suddenly heard someone calling him, and quickly raised his head, but saw Yan Fei standing at the door of the editorial office, waving at him.
"President Fukuda of Orochi, I'm going to talk to you." Yan Fei said.
Fukuda lunge?
Shang Haozhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately got up and followed Yan Fei out of the editorial office.
Wang Wenhong also stood up, hesitating whether to follow Shang Haozhi out, when suddenly, the mobile phone on the desktop turned on, and a text message was sent to his mobile phone.
He clicked on the text message, glanced at the content, was overjoyed, walked out of the editorial office, and happened to meet Shang Haozhi who was about to enter the house.
"What's wrong?" Shang Haozhi's expression was not as nervous as before, it should have been good news.
"Mr. Shen's color page is finished, and he asked us when we will send out the color page."
"Already painted? That's great. Whew, Orochi is also ready to cooperate with "Steel" to do a wave of publicity. Shang Haozhi's expression eased.
"But the effect is not necessarily good, right?" Wang Wenhong said tangledly.
Netizens already know the news of the production of "Steel Refining", unless the PV is screened, it may be able to attract some readers.
"They are going to announce the news of the original animation of "Steelcore", ...... animation of "Steelcore" will be released soon, and they want to take the opportunity to promote it. In two days' time, Shoji will make a short video explaining the overall framework of the Steelforge animation. ”
"But time ......"
"I have already told President Fukuda in advance that he will take the time to make the video as soon as possible, but it may not be shown on TV, but will be transmitted directly to the Internet...... The documentary will be released in late July, so the time should not be too rushed. Shang Haozhi explained.
Wang Wenhong nodded, this should be the best way, but the effect is not very clear.
"I'm also going to go to Mr. Shen's studio to take a look at the poster, and by the way, determine the time to publish the poster on the Internet."
"Go ahead...... Wait, Xiao Yan, you're okay today, right? Shang Haozhi turned around and asked Yan Fei.
"Hmm. I'm waiting for the name of Xiaohan's new work.。 ”
"The Eater has high expectations among readers, and this novel must be polished well."
"I know, Xiaohan has often gone to some big restaurants recently, taking pictures or asking about the experience of chefs and managers, but it will take at least a month for the story to take shape." Yan Fei sighed.
When it comes to professional comics, it is still necessary to have first-hand data.
When Shen Xin drew "Chess Soul", he deliberately found Xie Shiqi as a consultant, which is precisely for this reason.
"Well, pay attention, you also follow her a little more, she lacks social experience, don't suffer. Strive to get the name out in August. ”
"Yes." Yan Fei nodded.
She doesn't have much to do now, and she has time to take care of Xi Muhan.
"That'...... The three of us went over together, went to the place, and saw what good ideas Mr. Shen had. ”
Shang Haozhi has two "cards" in his hand, and each one must be maximized.
Wang Wenhong drove, and Yan Fei sat in the co-pilot's seat.
"When are you going to buy a car?" Waiting for the car to start slowly, Yan Fei couldn't help but ask.
"I can't even afford a parking space now, so why buy a car?" Wang Wenhong rolled his eyes.
Hongchuan's housing prices in China are not the highest, but they are not comparable to cities like Yunhai.
The house that Shen Xin bought has risen by more than one million in two years.
The more you wait, the more you can't afford to buy a house.
Every time Wang Wenhong thought of this, he also felt a heartache.
Yan Feinu pouted and didn't make a sound, her current situation is not much better than Wang Wenhong's - in fact, because she doesn't have a comic book with achievements in her hand, her income is lower than Wang Wenhong's.
The three of them suddenly introduced a very strange topic, so they didn't say anything all the way, and seeing that they were about to go to Shen Xin's studio, Shang Haozhi proposed to buy two bottles of champagne.
"Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you didn't win Age of the Gods? It's better to buy two bottles of red wine. Yan Fei reminded.
Shang Haozhi thought about it for a while, and this is also the reason, so he asked Wang Wenhong to turn around the supermarket and buy two bottles of red wine.
The three of them knocked on Shen Xin's studio, and the assistants were still painting at the desk, but Shen Xin was standing by the fence rarely, drinking canned coffee.
Seeing the three of them coming in, Shen Xin greeted everyone.
"There's a drink in the fridge, whatever you want, take it yourself, I won't go down."
Wang Wenhong put the red wine on the wall, motioned for the two of them to go up first, and took three bottles of juice himself.
"How's it going?" Shang Haozhi sat on the sofa, took the juice handed by Wang Wenhong, turned his head and asked Shen Xin.
"I don't know." Shen Xin shook his head.
“……”
You're calm.
The three of them thought in unison.
"In the cartoonist industry, you also know that if you don't work for a day, you will have to make up for all the work you missed. You won't allow me to suspend the publication, what can I do? Shen Xin saw that the three of them were surprised by his answer, so he spread his hands.
Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong have a black line.
Shen Xin is right, even if he is now a top cartoonist in China, he still has to complete the sketch on time.
Serializers are different from other industries because the serialization cycle is too short, and therefore, the time constraints are also strong.
Similarly, Shen Xin also experienced similar things, especially before the crossing, when the new serialization was launched, he had to look at the backstage almost every five minutes to see if the collection had increased and whether any readers had voted for recommendation, but he didn't type much for a day, resulting in staying up late every day.
After the crossing, probably because the results of the painted works have been good, his mentality has also changed, and he pays more attention to the works themselves rather than the data.
Yan Fei listened to Shen Xin's words and decided to check the popularity of the comics by herself, so she took out her mobile phone, glanced at the hot search on Weibo, and unexpectedly found that two works entered the top ten.
"'Age of the Gods' Three Words a Day' ranks fourth, and 'Steel' climaxes 'Sixth'." Yan Fei looked up at the other three.
