"Hoo ......"

Closing the page of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", Shi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

On the fifteenth of each month, the third issue of Tianyu Youth magazine is published.

The so-called publication here does not refer to the completion of printing, but to the beginning of official shipment. As for the content of the magazine, the layout and printing, that was many days ago.

Magazines and books are still not the same.

The comic of "Tianyu Boy" is a weekly magazine, so generally when the current issue is printed, it means that the editorial department has prepared the printing documents for the next three or four issues, and even the next issue will start printing...... Of course, there are several issues of manuscripts that have been prepared and are waiting for typesetting.

No magazine will publish the current issue and then make the next issue, that would be a death.

So when the first issue of Slam Dunk was published, the editorial department of Tianyu Boy magazine actually had at least three volumes of manuscripts, enough for them to publish for several months. And after reading the three volumes of manuscripts, the editor-in-chief Shi Cheng actually has a good idea of this comic - interesting, very interesting!

But even so, Shi Cheng was still apprehensive.

It's definitely no problem for this comic to be on "Tianyu Boy", after all, the quality is better than similar comics at first glance...... No, it should be said that it is much taller than most manga! But when the fifteen-point royalty was first proposed at the magazine's regular meeting, it caused an uproar - there was no precedent!

Fortunately, no one dares to mention that Lao Bai is a newcomer or something, which book is not higher than Tianyu Boy's sales?

Although in the end, with Shi Cheng's insistence and the support of the two deputy editors-in-chief who communicated in advance, the fifteen-point royalty was finally passed, but this incident also left a thorn in the editor-in-chief's heart - if the comics did not promote the sales of the magazine much after the comics began to be serialized, he would really be in trouble!

Fifteen points in royalties for a cartoonist is definitely not an isolated event.

Just like the football team will not easily increase the weekly salary of the top superstar, doesn't Shi Cheng understand the reason for the overall situation? If the performance of slam dunk is really as good as Sun Ya said, if any cartoonist is not convinced, as long as he can bring hundreds of thousands of new readers to the magazine like other slam dunks, but if ......

After confirming that Lao Bai had advertised for the magazine, Shi Cheng couldn't sit still.

Feeling uneasy in his heart, Shi Cheng grabbed the phone on the table and dialed a number: "Xiao Li, do you have any feedback from the distribution department on the sales of this issue of the magazine?" ”

"Uh...... Not yet! ”

Xiao Li's voice was obviously a little surprised, but he still replied honestly.

"Well, keep me informed if there is any news!"

Hung up the phone in disappointment, Shi Cheng knew that he was in a hurry. The magazine was published yesterday, even most of the sales points in the capital were only put on the shelves today, and Lao Bai only posted an advertisement this morning, where is there news so quickly? What's more, in order to gamble, this issue of Tianyu Boy has printed an extra 200,000 sets......

However, while fidgeting, Shi Cheng quickly dialed the number just now: "Xiao Li, how is this issue of the store?" The progress of several other printing houses across the country has not been delayed, right? ”

"Uh...... No, the important cities have already run out of goods! ”

"Well, that's all!"

Obviously feeling that Xiao Li's tone was even more strange, Shi Cheng finally couldn't help blushing, and quickly hung up the phone again.

"Impatient, impatient!"

With a sigh, Shi Cheng finally decided to let go of his worries and stop thinking about sales. It's just 12 o'clock at noon, and most readers buy magazines when they get off work or after school......

……

After walking out of the company building, the first thing Zhao Zhihuo saw was the newsstand at the subway entrance.

When he reached the subway entrance, he stopped.

The expression was a little tangled.

"To buy or not to buy?"

Seeing the eye-catching Tianyu boy at the door of the newsstand, Zhao Zhihuo was particularly entangled in his heart - buy it, how many years have you not read comics? Even if I buy it back and show it to my daughter, the seven or eight-year-old girl won't be there! But don't buy it, right? Tsk, this is Lao Bai's new work, although he has a deep resentment about Lao Bai not writing a new book, but there is no doubt that Zhao Zhihuo has true love for him......

"Boss, let's have a copy of "Tianyu Boy"!"

Just when Zhao Zhihuo hesitated in his heart, a tall young man in uniform next to him shouted without hesitation.

"I'll have a copy too, boss!"

The teenager's friend, who was also dressed in a high school uniform, called out.

"Oh, what are you buying for?"

After listening to his friend's words, the tall young man hurriedly dissuaded: "I'll just buy it alone, can I just show it to you tomorrow after reading it in one night?" ”

"Don't!"

His friend, who was a head shorter, shook his head and said with a smile: "There is Lao Bai's comic today, I can't wait to read it tomorrow!" And it's only thirty dollars, it's fine. ”

"yes, it's only thirty dollars!"

Hearing the words of the short high school student, Zhao Zhihuo suddenly shrugged his shoulders.

Tsk, just support Lao Bai!

happily took out thirty yuan to buy the latest "Tianyu Boy", and then Zhao Zhihuo walked into the subway station under the strange eyes of the two high school students.

Today is lucky, Zhao Zhihuo happens to have a seat to do.

After hesitating for a moment, Lao Zhao still cheekily took out the comic and turned to the page of Slam Dunk. Because it is the first episode, there are a lot of slam dunk in this issue, there are thirty-eight pages, but it took Zhao Zhihuo ten minutes to finish it.

And then......

"That's it?"

After reading the last page, Zhao Zhihuo was completely confused!

What the hell!

A male protagonist who is obviously a bad teenager, several bad friends, broken love fifty times, and a schoolgirl who looks like she has no roots in her head......

This is Lao Bai's cross-border work, the latest masterpiece in a single chapter?

Except for the two pages where the slam dunk head touches the rebound at the end and it looks pretty handsome, what's interesting? Where's the blood? Where can you not lose it after watching it?

"Sister, I've been fooled by Lao Bai again!"

Gritting his teeth and scolding Lao Bai in his heart, Zhao Zhihuo stuffed the comic book into his bag, then took out his mobile phone and logged in to the app of Shuxiang Chinese.com - he wanted to scold Lao Bai for this big fool, it was thirty yuan......

……

"Hee-hee, did you see that uncle just now?"

After getting on the subway, the tall high school student laughed in a low voice: "I'm sure he is also a die-hard fan of Lao Bai, do you believe it?" ”

"Huh? Why? ”

Blinking, the short high school student asked puzzled.

Glancing at his friend, the tall man whispered: "Otherwise, what did he buy "Tianyu Boy" for?" Does he still like to read comics at his age? must have been fooled by Lao Bai's single chapter! ”

“……”

Well, what you say makes sense.

However, the short man was not in the mood to talk nonsense with his friends at this time, so he quickly took out the comic book and turned to the page of Slam Dunk. Although they are not as lucky as Zhao Zhihuo to get on the bus and find a seat, for the teenagers who take the subway every day, carrying a schoolbag and holding a book, and being able to read it without holding anywhere is a basic skill, and there is no problem at all!

And then......

"Have you finished reading?"

After turning the last page, the short high school student looked up at his friend next to him.

"Come on, you wait a minute!"

was intently looking at the cartoon in his hand, and the tall man replied casually. Two minutes later, the tall man finished reading the comic in his hand, and then looked at his friend with a relieved expression: "Hey, what do you think?" ”

"It doesn't feel like anything special, but it seems to be fun."

"Right? I think it's funny, too! ”

Put the comic book away first, and the tall man said with great interest: "This guy can't be the hero of the comics, right?" Haha, I fell out of love fifty times in three years in junior high school, which is also too tragic...... Interesting, really interesting! ”

"Hmmm......"

Answering casually, the short man was thinking back to the contents of the comics.

Fifty times out of love or something, what's the fun?

Anyway, for a stocky single dog, it's not fun at all!

What really excites him is the content of the male protagonist punching and beating up those bad students, which makes him feel very cool! And the last leap in the air, does it feel very handsome?

For someone of his size, it's a dream to be able to touch a rebound!
