The editorial office of New World was in a mess the day after the new magazine went on sale.

Bookstores reported better sales than in past issues, giving the editor-in-chief a sense that New World's sales might be on the rise for the first time after months of decline.

In fact, on the third day, pre-orders were called from major bookstores, and the new issue of New World had to be printed with an additional 50,000 copies. A day later, at the urging of the bookstore, the printing house printed another 30,000 copies, which barely met the bookstore's demand.

More than half of the readers who lost before have returned.

For the time being, sales are not as good as the revamped "Dreamer", and the revenue that "Y's" brings to "New World" is not as good as "Crumbling", but the editor-in-chief is very content.

After all, he didn't give much either.

Gravish color page, who is not given? Only 100 copies of the poster were printed and distributed to several large bookstores; There was also the half-page advertisement in the magazine, which only added one page, and by the way, three advertising spaces were sold.

Perhaps the biggest expense was printing Iori's color book on the back of the questionnaire.

People can't be too greedy, and he is already very satisfied with such a result.

The only thing that struck him was that the number of questionnaires received did not increase, even though the number of magazines on sale had increased.

But even so, the magazine still received 60,000 or 70,000 questionnaires, and it was not difficult to draw 1,000 of them.

After the results of the questionnaire survey were counted, the editor-in-chief found Yan Fei with a smile and handed her the statistical form, "Tell Teacher Shen Zheng that you must guard against arrogance and rashness." ”

Yan Fei glanced at the statistical results, her brows raised slightly, and it was slightly inconsistent with the expectations in her heart, "Editor-in-chief, I want to go to Mr. Shen's place to receive the original manuscript of the 3rd episode and the name of the 4th episode." ”

"No problem, just look at these things and do them yourself." The editor-in-chief waved his hand, just took two steps, and turned around again, "By the way, many readers have sent letters to Mr. Shen, can you pick some to send to him?" ”

"Okay." Yan Fei nodded hurriedly.

Letters from readers do not mean much to the author's creation. They just tell the cartoonists what they think, and some of the content even tends to be idealistic. If a cartoonist cares too much about the opinions of readers, it is easy to create a comic that goes astray, and in the end, there is only one result left - the story collapses.

Therefore, it is best for cartoonists not to read these letters related to suggestions, but the editor has no way to know the content of the letters without tearing the envelope, so he can only choose some envelopes that are pleasing to the eye.

Packed the dozens of selected letters in paper bags, Yan Fei took the subway and hurriedly came to Shen Xin's studio.

Knocking on the door, Yan Fei followed Qiao Yu into the room.

Ruan Ying held the D pen and concentrated on drawing the background, Qiao Yu returned to her seat, and also picked up the net cutter and cut off the dot paper that needed to be pasted.

The completed manuscripts were laid side by side on the floor around them, and Yan Fei knew that they were drying the ink on the originals.

"Sister Yan, isn't it tomorrow to receive the manuscript? The manuscript is not finished yet...... It may take several hours to wait. Find yourself a seat first. Shen Xin glanced at Yan Fei and lowered his head again.

"Can't you come and see? "Y's" is in the market, the scenery is infinite, but you are indifferent. Yan Fei put the bag and the paper bag containing the letter on the ground, looked around, and found no chair, only a stool, so she pulled it over and sat down first.

"What is there to care about?" Shen Xin put down the dipping pen, took out a tissue, wiped the ink on his hand, and looked up at Yan Fei again, "Y's has the ability to attract people's attention. ”

At this point, Shen Xin did not tell a lie.

In the years when "I"s" was serialized, it was very popular with readers, and Katsura was also known by many readers as the most proficient cartoonist in "jump" to draw girls.

It's a little pity that Shen Xin's painters can't give full play to the greatest charm of this comic, and he can only hope for a breakthrough in the future.

"Yes. In this issue of the questionnaire, "Y's" did get the first place, but ...... Not much ahead of second place. Yan Fei smiled bitterly.

"Huh? No way? Shen Xin was incredulous.

Even if his painting is not as good as the original, the story is a good story, and the broken chapters are just right. How can the number of votes not be high?

"I don't know, it's just more than 30 votes more than the second place. Although the magazine's sales have really increased a lot, there are a few editors who don't think it has much to do with you. However, there were too few questionnaires to be returned. ”

Thinking of this, Yan Fei was not in a good mood, especially that Li Jiming, who was in the office just now, said very firmly: "This sales have something to do with "Y's", but it is not too big, otherwise "Y's" would not be only more than 30 votes ahead of the second place." This only shows that "New World" has bottomed out, and even without "Y's" it will still increase. ”

Bottoming out? Hehe......

So why didn't the last issue bottom out? Li Jiming was clearly resentful of Shen Xin for snatching Gong Yan's headpiece color page.

Yan Fei had no good impression of Li Jiming.

"Wait, Sister Yan, are you saying that the sales of the magazine have gone up, but the questionnaire sent back has not increased?" It was the first time Shen Xin had heard of such a thing.

"Yes, two or three thousand less, to be exact." Yan Fei also sighed, she still hadn't figured out the reason.

"That's weird."

The more magazines sell, the more questionnaires are sent out, and logically the more questionnaires should be sent back.

"Ahem...... I should be able to explain one or two reasons for these doubts raised by Mr. Yan. Qiao Yu, who had pasted the dot paper, sat up straight, turned to Yan Fei and Shen Xin and said.

"What is the reason?" Yan Fei was surprised.

Ruan Ying, who was standing in the background of the drawing, also looked up at Qiao Yu, her eyes full of curiosity.

Qiao Yu took out a tissue to wipe the ink off his hands, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"My neighbor is a freshman in high school and is a comic book fan. I met him two days ago when I came home, and he happened to have bought a copy of New World. Mr. Shen's work was published in this issue, so I also wanted to know what they thought of this comic. As a result, my neighbor said that he bought the magazine for his collection and had bought one before. ”

"I bought a copy, so why did he buy it?" Yan Fei was a little puzzled.

Shen Xin also nodded, he was also curious.

He said that the previous one was torn up and used for publicity, so he bought another one for a special collection.

Propaganda of God TM!

Shen Xin has a black line.

Buy another collection, he can understand; But after tearing up the other one, what the hell is it to use it for publicity? He's an authentic shonen manga.,Not a book.。

I asked him which manga he thought was the best, but he couldn't say anything, and then I asked directly how Y's was. He said he hadn't seen it. ”

Hearing Qiao Yu's words, Yan Fei speculated, ""Y's is placed on the front page, and it is impossible for readers not to know it...... Could it be that they are shy? ”

Shen Xin rolled his eyes depressedly, the characters he painted didn't show any point, what is there to be shy about?

"It's possible, after all, Mr. Shen's paintings are different from others, and they are a bit realistic. Many high school students have experienced these crushes, so even if they like it in their hearts, they will not easily show it. Ruan Ying, who had not made a sound, suddenly spoke.
