After the official end of "DN", many cartoonists posted on Weibo, on the one hand, to congratulate the successful completion of "DN", on the other hand, to take a breath, "DN" is finally over, and after that, there is no ceiling on their heads.

Therefore, the joy expressed in these microblogs comes from the true hearts of these cartoonists.

The results of "Y's" are also good, but there is one thing to say, it is indeed not as good as "DN" in terms of popularity or popularity, and if Shen Xin only has one comic, they are indeed not very afraid.

How does Shen Xin know what these people think? Even if he knew, Shen Xin wouldn't care.

After the end of "DN", Shen Xin was finally able to take a day off and continue to draw the follow-up comics of "Y's".

Yan Fei also brought a piece of news that surprised him, due to the end of "DN", the sales of the latest issue of "Comic Future" exceeded 4.5 million copies, reaching 4.626 million copies.

It's an exaggeration to reach this figure at a time when print magazine sales are declining – Leap has already sold below a million copies and Manga Fly is struggling with two million copies.

In this regard, Comic Future has indeed worked a miracle.

However, Yu Chen was not happy at all, this sales volume was obtained at the cost of the end of "DN".

If given a choice, he would rather not have such a high sales volume.

It can be expected that after the end of "DN", the sales of "Comic Future" will definitely fall off a cliff, which is a problem that "Comic Future" must face - it is difficult for the rest of the cartoonists to carry the banner of "Comic Future".

In the midst of the anxiety of everyone in the editorial department, the 35th issue of "Comic Future" was released, and the sales volume returned to less than 4 million copies in a single week, reaching 3.91 million copies.

The 600,000-volume drop in sales in a single week also put pressure on Comic Future magazine.

Shen Xin will no longer be able to contribute to "Comic Future" in a short period of time.

In this regard, Yu Chen knows that the most urgent thing he needs to do at present is to stabilize the current sales, and not let the sales of the magazine continue to decline, as for recruiting new people...... Yu Chen really can't imagine that any newcomer can make up for the loss caused by the end of "DN" in a short period of time.

Such people simply do not exist.

In this way, the pressure all fell on Ye Hexu, Lu Ning, and Xi Muhan.

Fortunately, Ye Hexu has been one of the signature cartoonists of "Comic Future" since "Hunting Abyss", and even more so now.

Xi Muhan and Lu Ning have never been the core of the magazine, and the pressure behind the two of them has become extremely great for a while, and they usually have to stay up late at night to have time to rest.

Compared with Ye Hexu, the two of them are very lacking in coping with pressure. But as long as they can get through it, it will be of great benefit to the future growth of the two.

Yan Fei knew this very well, and for this reason, she spent more time on the two of them, so that the work of selecting Shen Xin's manuscript and preparing the original painting collection was delayed again and again.

Wang Wenhong saw that Yan Fei had been struggling recently, so he took the initiative to take over the selection of manuscripts - he served as Shen Xin's editor-in-charge for a longer time than Yan Fei, and it was easier to select more representative drafts.

Among these people, Shen Xin is a lot more relaxed, in addition to drawing the comics of "Y's", he also has leisure time to read some books and rest.

During this period, he also thought about how to make "Ding Shi" better, but there were not many ways.

Food is a special genre that does attract some readers, but it also has a ceiling.

In his impression, the comic with better results in the food category is "The Spirit of the Halberd", and although "The Little Master of China" is more popular in China, the results in District 11 are not as good as "Halberd".

For a while, "Halberd" was almost a pillar of "Jump" manga, but it was only in the middle of the game that the plot got out of control, which caused its performance to decline.

But even if a food comic of the level of "Halberd" is made, it is already difficult to hit the first place in the small book of "Jump", let alone "Ding Shi".

But if there is nothing to be done at all, it is not at all.

In Shen Xin's view, it is possible to break the current dilemma by disrupting the power system of "Ding Shi", allowing the protagonist to rise all the way, and mobilizing the emotions of readers.

This is also the only way Shen Xin can think of.

Even if this method may make "Ding Shi" start to go downhill, that is what happened after the World Young Chefs Competition.

After Shen Xin told Yan Fei about this idea, Yan Fei pondered for a while, and immediately called Xi Muhan, and after a while, Lu Ning and Xi Muhan came upstairs.

The two people, who are usually very energetic, have shown fatigue after this period of high-intensity work.

Lu Ning's eyes were dark, and her skin had lost its previous luster, she should have not taken care of it seriously in the past few days, and Xi Muhan took the headpiece and tied her hair into a side ponytail - only when she was trying to do something, she would tie her hair up.

"Teacher, are you looking for us?" Lu Ning went up to the second floor and saw Shen Xin sitting in front of the computer, so he walked to the table.

"Nope." Shen Xin replied truthfully.

He really didn't say that he wanted to let two people come over, and the person who said this was Yan Fei.

Lu Ning looked at Yan Fei with a confused expression, not knowing what was going on.

"Teacher Shen, it's important to get down to business." Yan Fei coughed lightly.

Shen Xin is usually very busy, and it is rare to have time to joke, seeing that Yan Fei was a little anxious, he also put away his joking heart, and said to Xi Muhan and Lu Ning: "You pull two chairs over and sit down first." ”

The two of them didn't say a word, turned around and found two chairs, and sat in front of Shen Xin.

"You guys be active, there are very few opportunities for Teacher Shen to give lectures in person, that is, you, if you want to sit in front of Teacher Shen, I don't know how much effort it takes?" Yan Fei secretly stepped up.

The editor's perspective on a work is different from the perspective of the author on a work, sometimes, the author often sees the problem more sharply, not to mention that Shen Xin is not an ordinary author, he is now standing at the top of domestic cartoonists.

When Lu Ning and Xi Muhan heard this, their eyes when they looked at Shen Xin suddenly changed.

Shen Xin suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and he may not be able to grasp what kind of reaction readers have to a work.

"I'll just talk about it casually. After the World Chef Competition, is "Ding Food" sure to end? ”

Xi Muhan said without thinking: "Brother, you also said before that how long a work is is related to its setting, if the setting is exceeded, then there is a great possibility that the story will collapse." Now that the story of "Ding Shi" is almost finished, I think it is better to end it directly than to drag it out. ”

Shen Xin looked at Lu Ning again, and Lu Ning nodded without hesitation.

"I'm just a painter, the original says so, I'm fine."

"That's it. My idea is actually very simple, which is to break the power system and let the protagonist complete the 'below gram' match. ”
