Chapter 72: Adjustments
Yan Fei groped her chin, she only cared about the situation in Yunhai City, but forgot about the situation in Hongchuan.
In fact, the news about the release of a single book of "Crime and Punishment" has already been reported, but there is no attention to the release date.
"Is the information reliable?"
"Ji Yinxuan and Su Han were playmates when they were children, and their relationship is very good now, so there is no need to lie to me about this kind of thing." Shen Xin said.
"But in this case, "Y's" will not be affected either. The sales of the first volume have almost reached a bottleneck, and the key to winning this duel is the results of the second volume. Yan Fei pondered for a moment and then expressed her opinion.
"That's right." Shen Xin smiled and nodded, "Su Han himself is a best-selling author, so the release of such a heavyweight work is not only affected by "Crumbling", "Y's" must not be avoided. ”
Xi Muhan didn't have a deep sense of substitution, and he didn't understand it a little, but Yan Fei's mind had already turned.
"In terms of timing, the launch date of Crime is in the middle of January. If it is close to its release date, it will be hit the hardest, and it should be better a little earlier or later. ”
The duel between Shen Xin and Chen Zijiao, because of the chaos of "Crime and Punishment", the trend of things has become weird.
Originally, Chen Zijiao should have had an advantage, but if the first week of the release of the new book is affected by "Punishment", the sales are likely to fail, and there will be no way to get up. From this point of view, "Y's" has an advantage. Therefore, the release of "Crime" has a greater impact on "Crumbling". ”
Yan Fei rubbed her chin and muttered to herself.
"The advantage of 'Crumbling' is that it will be released earlier than 'Y's', but 'Y's' also has advantages."
"What advantages?" Yan Fei was puzzled.
"The second volume of Y's is not finished and there is room for adjustment, but Crumbling is different, its content has already been published in the magazine. In the final analysis, the sales of single books ultimately depend on the quality of comics. Shen Xin picked up the name he had just drawn.
"And what are you going to do?" Yan Fei took the name, still a little uneasy.
"Now there are still two words in "Y's", which is enough to produce a single book. It will take a week and a half at the earliest, and a single book will be able to enter the printing house. Whether it is printing or publicity, it will be more intense. Shen Xin rubbed his hands.
"That's right, it's a big problem. So what do you mean? Yan Fei asked.
"There are two ways. First, the next issue of the magazine will publish two episodes of "Y's", so that the printing house will have two weeks to print it, and the magazine will have enough time to publicize it.
"The second method is that I will give you the original manuscript of both episodes, of which Episode 15 will be published in the next issue, and the manuscript of Episode 16 will be sent to the printing house of the single edition at the same time as Episode 15. In this way, there are also two weeks for printing and publicity. Now it's up to you to see how much the magazine can help. ”
"Judging from the information I have received, the president is ready to fully support you." Yan Fei said.
"That'...... I would like to publish two articles in the next issue of the magazine. Shen Xin said.
"Is there too much time? Five days and forty pages of original manuscript, very intense. Yan Fei looked at Shen Xin with some concern.
"No problem, isn't it forty pages of original? Also, Sister Yan, I want the curvure color page of chapter 17. Shen Xin said seriously.
"You're really dead-" Yan Fei looked uneasy.
Xi Muhan was also nervously pulling Shen Xin's clothes.
"It doesn't matter, if I can't even bear this bit of intensity, what kind of cartoonist am I to be? This duel must be won. Shen Xin clenched his teeth, his eyes revealing determination.
posted that Weibo, in fact, there is a flag meaning, but this is the best solution he can think of. Otherwise, threatening the magazine with leaving "New World" and letting Chen Zijiao apologize without pain would seem to be too stingy.
This is not what Shen Xin wants.
Let Chen Zijiao pay the price, and take advantage of the attention caused by this incident to bring "Y's" to the domestic market, which is Shen Xin's ultimate goal.
But the premise is that he must draw a caricature that matches this quality, otherwise, it will not be revenge, but a slap in the face.
Yan Fei's eyes lit up after seeing the newly drawn name, compared with the old name, the new name reduced the dialogue of the characters, and instead replaced the dialogue with storyboards, character demeanor and actions to advance the progress of the story.
The advantages and disadvantages of the old and new names can be distinguished at a glance.
"I didn't expect the quality of the new name to be so high." Yan Fei said happily, "How about the name of the next episode?" ”
"I'm going to finish the painting soon, and when you go to the studio tomorrow, I'll give you the name of the next episode." Shen Xin said.
"yes, I see. Teacher Shen ...... This time, be sure to refuel. Yan Fei clenched her fists.
"I will." A smile also appeared on Shen Xin's face.
Xi Muhan glanced at the two of them separately, and finally his eyes fell on Shen Xin's face, "Do you need my help?" ”
"You just need to study hard now, and if you have extra time, you can refine the game's branching plot again."
"I know, everything is in my plan." Xi Muhan patted the notebook in his arms, full of confidence.
The next day, Yan Fei told the editor-in-chief of Shen Xin's request.
After a little thought, the editor-in-chief nodded in agreement, which has the implication of supporting Shen Xin, in addition, the first issue of "Dreamer" in the new year will launch Gong Yan's "National Football Coach", which is said to be a comic that Luo Zhi focuses on promoting, and "New World" for a while, it can't find a corresponding work to compete with.
If "Y's" releases a two-episode comic in the same issue, it may be able to withstand this round of "offensive" of "Dreamer".
However, a magazine that relies only on a comic book is not reliable.
In the unlikely event that "Y's" collapses, "New World" will definitely plummet. The magazine's other cartoons are not impossible, but they can't bear the word "signboard".
So, the editor-in-chief was also urging Li Jiming to let the newcomers who won the short comic contest hurry up to publish the manuscript, and Li Jiming hurriedly agreed.
Yan Fei received the assurances of the editor-in-chief, and immediately notified Shen Xin, asking him to try his best to ensure that the manuscript would be handed over to her before the early hours of Saturday morning.
Shen Xin hung up the phone and counted the progress of the painting.
Lu Ning lowered her head and looked at the notebook with dot paper that Shen Xin had given her before, and muttered silently in her mouth, while Gao Hang picked up a paintbrush and sketched on the straw paper according to the original manuscript of the first few words of "Y's".
"You two, the month starting today can be stressful, and I implore you to accompany me through this most difficult journey." Shen Xin said solemnly.
"When I saw that Weibo, I was already mentally prepared. As long as I can kill "Crumbling", I can go without sleep even for a month. Gao Hang clenched his fists.
Don't exaggerate, it's just that this week is more tiring.
Shen Xin said with a dry smile in his heart.
"I know." Lu Ning put down the network book in his hand, "I will stay here and do my best, but the exam may have to be away for a while." ”
"When is the exam?"
Shen Xin hadn't been to college for a long time and didn't know anything about the progress of the semester.
"Starting next week for two weeks." Lu Ning said.
That's fine......
Shen Xin slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
