Chapter 574: Surprise and Exclamation
After waking up from his distraction, Shen Xin walked to the fence for the first time and looked downstairs. [With_Dream]
The three assistants also raised their heads in unison.
"Three, the 14th volume of "Steel Forged" broke 1 million copies in a single week." Shen Xin gave a thumbs up.
"Really?" Gao Hang's mouth was wide open.
Shen Xin nodded.
"Great!"
Gao Hang let out a low roar and excitedly high-fived Hang Jian and Liu Rui.
The news made them happier than the gratuity increase.
As long as he works hard to do his job well, Shen Xin has never felt sorry for them in terms of salary, and the single book has exceeded one million...... This kind of impact is completely impossible to feel unless you experience it yourself.
They became participants.
"Tonight, go out to dinner." Shen Xin said with a smile.
"Hooray!"
Gao Hang raised his arms and shouted, shouting excitedly.
"Call Xiaohan, and so is Lu Ning." Shen Xin originally wanted to invite Lu Ning's assistant, but after thinking about it carefully, he still forgot it.
This kind of thing is more appropriate for "OI Future". In case someone says it unintentionally, it is estimated that the magazine will also have a hard time.
He's just a comic book drawer, so it's better to leave these things to the magazine.
As for these people invited, they are all acquaintances, and Shen Xin and them also know the roots, so it's okay to talk to them when the time comes.
The place to eat is a time-honored Hunan restaurant, but for Shen Xin, as long as it is a good restaurant, he can't even tell the difference between Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, it is spicy anyway.
All the people invited were present, but there was no Yan Fei, Shen Xin asked the reason, and Wang Wenhong also brought Yan Fei's answer.
"The Lunar New Year Cup is about to start, Yan Fei wants Zuo Yuan to win the award, in her words, from now on, until Zuo Yuan is successfully serialized...... This is a one-way street. Either succeed or abandon comics. ”
Lu Ning and Xi Muhan looked at each other.
They are also newcomers, step by step, but both of them are extremely lucky to be able to successfully make a living from their works.
In fact, most of the cartoonists in this world, like Zuo Yuan, are in front of them, there is a door called "serialization", and they try to knock on it, but they can never knock on it.
At least, cartoonists over 95 years old are struggling for this, and those who can make a living from comics are a minority of the few.
"I think Sister Yan has put too much pressure on him." Shen Xin sighed, "It's not that it's bad to be serious, it's just that from your evaluation of Zuo Yuan, it can be basically determined that Teacher Zuo is a very serious person." But sometimes, there's no single path to success. ”
"That's because Mr. Shen is not in the circle of grassroots cartoonists." Wang Wenhong said with a smile.
"Perhaps? However, 'big is also big with big difficulties'. With so many works, there will inevitably be more readers, some just to join in the fun, and some readers are genuinely supportive of cartoonists. Discussing the work among readers should be the happiest thing for the author, because it makes the work valuable and concerned, but if there are too many audiences, there will be various voices.
Sometimes, the author is also in a dilemma, especially if the two sides are his own readers, and when they disagree because of certain points of view, so they quarrel or even insult, the author is in an awkward position, and supporting one will inevitably offend the other. There are fewer readers, and sometimes there are fewer of these worries, because readers are more likely to focus on the work rather than the topics that lead to war. ”
Wang Wenhong opened his mouth to refute, but he felt that he was not in Shen Xin's position, and he didn't understand his troubles.
"Then you mean, there is a problem with Yan Fei's method?"
"Not really, I'm a 'consequentialist', Sister Yan's method doesn't work, just use the results to speak. But there is one thing, Sister Yan is right, there are really not many opportunities left for Teacher Zuo. ”
Shen Xin here, paraphrased the words of the commentator commenting on the national football team. It is also true that one's faith cannot be consumed indefinitely.
"That...... Brother Xin, the food will be cold immediately. ”
Hearing that the two had no plans to start a meal, Xi Muhan could only remind Shen Xin.
"Oh...... Mine, mine. Shen Xin laughed dryly and poured himself a glass of wine for the first time, "Everyone, the single volume of "Steel Forge" broke one million in a single week, and it is inseparable from everyone's efforts, please make persistent efforts to create brilliance." Also, Xiaohan, Teacher Lu, you have to come on, I'll wait for you! ”
"Come on!"
Seven goblets clamed together with a crisp sound.
……
Early the next morning, the Weibo of "OI Future" released the news that the 14th volume of "Steel Refining" broke one million copies in a single week, and the 11th district broke 500,000 copies in a single week.
"It's 1 million copies, it's terrifying!"
"'Steel' is too powerful, isn't it?"
"Sales have doubled, and it's scary to think about it."
"There's no one in the country who can compare to him for the time being, right?"
"Hot list...... Before you know it, "Steel Forge" has become number one again, and despite the addition of animation, this result is still very scary. ”
"But there are more animations with animation bonuses, such as picking well-known comics and saying, "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss" have animations, of course, animation also has a bonus to the work, but it is not as exaggerated as "Steel Chain".
"Sales have nearly doubled, from 600,000 copies in a single Friday to 1 million copies."
"Quality! In the end, the only thing that can move people's hearts is the quality of the work! ”
"I've only watched the animation of "Steel Chain", and the front is not bad, but the plot in the back, is it really good?"
"The plot in the front, compared to the back, the plot is a bit bland. But that's not to say that the previous plot isn't important! ”
"Yes, that's right. I thought this comic could be read by jumping, but who knows, no! There are a lot of details in every word. However, after reading every sentence, I also think it's quite interesting. ”
……
Yuan Zhe was also shocked when he saw that "Steel Refining" sold millions of copies in a single week.
He served as the editor-in-chief of "Anga FL", and of course he knows how difficult it is to break a million in a single week.
If "Steel" does not collapse in the later stage, it will definitely be a banner comic.
The more he thought of this, the more heartbroken Yuan Zhe's heart became.
A good hand of cards was discarded by Tong Yu.
Depressed!
Yuan Zhe sighed, took a cigarette, and entered the smoking room, ready to vent his depression, but unexpectedly, he saw that Qian Sheng was also in the smoking room, sitting on a bench, smoking a cigarette while swiping his mobile phone, with the same solemn expression.
"What are you looking at?" Yuan Zhe said curiously.
"Area 11 Comic Information." Qian Sheng put away his phone and sighed, ""Steel Refining sold 500,000 copies in District 11. ”
"I know, "OI Future" said it on the official WeChat." Yuan Zhe held a cigarette and prepared to light a fire.
The achievements that "Steel Forge" now has far exceeded his imagination. He figured it would be hard for him to be frightened again.
Selling 500,000 copies in District 11 is an exaggerated achievement.
"The first edition of "Steel Forged" in District 11 was only 550,000 copies." Qian Sheng said with a dry smile.
The cigarette fell from Yuan Zhe's mouth, and his face was shocked.
As some people say, some people score 100 points because they only have 100 points on the paper.
Although "Steel Chain" sold 500,000 in District 11, considering that the volume of goods is not consistent in various places, some places should have been sold out.
500,000 copies a week is not the full potential of Steelforge in Region 11.
