Chapter 125: Guidance

Sales of "Y's" also flattened down a week later.

Actually,It's also easy to understand,Readers who want to buy a single book,Will buy it at the first time,So,Any comic,The follow-up sales can't be compared with the previous days。

This is not the case only with "Y's", "Punishment" is not much better than "Ys".

In the full month of its release, Y's sold just 550,000 copies, bringing the total sales to 1.32 million copies, followed by 1.25 million copies.

The comics at the front of the queue did not sit still, and new single books were released one after another.

Although the ranking of "Y's" on the newcomer list has not changed, because other manga have also released single books, it has opened a certain distance in terms of sales.

For this situation, Shen Xin is not in a hurry.

With five months to go until October, there is a chance of a reversal as long as the quality of "Y's" does not crash.

The studio did not relax because of the little achievement, their workload is still very large, but the bonus has also been doubled, so the three assistants did not complain, but more serious, and tried to do the best in each manuscript.

During this period, Zhou Yang also handed over the second short story of "Ghost Potential" to Shen Xin and asked him to help check it.

If you want to draw an excellent short comic, the cartoonist has to put a lot of effort into repeatedly revising the name, and in 50 pages, there is a complete structure, explaining the cause, process and result of the story, introducing the background, and doing it with foreshadowing and high tides.

Shen Xin doesn't like to draw short comics very much, just because the things he thinks about are too cumbersome, and he felt this pain when he first drew "Love Equation".

However, short stories also have the advantage of short stories, that is, it is easier for manga artists to grasp the rhythm and not appear to be out of control.

If the length is too long, for some cartoonists with average strength, it is likely that there will be a state of inadequacy in the later stage, which will affect the end of the story and cause a bad ending.

It is even possible to cut it with a knife with a ruthless heart.

This kind of thing, although less common, is not uncommon.

Zhou Yang belongs to the kind with rich imagination, and there are many strange settings.

Shen Xin also discussed the title of the book with Zhou Yang, and at that time Zhou Yang said that "ghost potential" is an ability, and different high-level ghosts have different ghost potential.

After listening to this explanation, Shen Xin immediately understood, but then said that the title of the book is not very good, and many comics will not use "ability" as the title.

"What's that for?" Zhou Yang was surprised.

Lu Ning pricked up her ears, she also wanted to hear Shen Xin's understanding.

"Identifying the main character, and then the subject of the comic."

The former are more common such as "Saint Seiya", "Full-Time Hunter", "Naruto", "Bleach Reaper", "Fairy Tail", ...... As for the latter, there are manga like One Piece, Dragon Ball, Dream Eater, JoJo: Bizarre Adventure, etc.

Of course, there are other types of titles, but these two are more common.

"If you decide to use "Onishi", then you have to think carefully about the name of "Onishi". Or, "Oni Potential" is the aggregate of the soul in the first episode name, or "Oni Potential" is the protagonist's profession. ”

"What's the difference between the two?" Lu Ning turned her head and asked puzzled.

"Worldviews are expressed differently." Shen Xin explained, "If 'Ghost Potential' represents the aggregate of souls, then when you paint, you should focus on the type of 'Ghost Potential', and explain the reason for the appearance of 'Ghost Potential' clearly. It is likely that in the early stages, the worldview of the entire story will be determined, and the length of the manga may even be limited. When all the ghosts are defeated, it means that the story is over. ”

With the enemy as the title of the book, Shen Xin's first thought was "Giant".

"The latter category is more flexible, and the 'ghost power' only represents the protagonist's class, so the protagonist may face different enemies. When an enemy is defeated, just switch to a new one. ”

After listening to Shen Xin's explanation, Zhou Yang did not hesitate and chose the latter category.

He also didn't know how long he would draw later, but it was clear that the latter had more room to maneuver.

After determining the theme, the name designed by Zhou Yang had a sense of clarity, and after Xiaoli saw it, she nodded again and again.

"This is much better than the previous setting, just design the name according to this setting!"

After getting Xiaoli's affirmation, Zhou Yang also had the confidence to draw a new short comic according to the new name.

At the same time, Yan Fei also brought the news that Song Tai will discuss the next stage of publicity with Shen Xin tomorrow, and the meeting place is still the magazine.

To be honest, so far, Shen Xin hasn't thought of a good way, so when he meets Song Tai tomorrow, on the one hand, he wants to listen to Song Tai's opinion, and on the other hand, he must beware of Song Tai's conditions, and he must not jump into the trap.

Leaving the studio, it was almost 10 o'clock, and Shen Xin did not go anywhere else, but returned home directly.

Xi Muhan has been in a good mood recently, mainly because of the big sales of "Y's".

Every day when she was eating, she would tell Shen Xin about the reactions of some of her classmates. For example, nearly one-third of the class has read "Y's" now, and for example, one of the die-hard fans in the class grabbed three times before grabbing the third volume of the signed edition.

Shen Xin usually doesn't have a chance to understand this, but when he heard Xi Muhan's introduction, he also roughly understood the thoughts of high school students, such as the vast majority of people want Iori and Yi Gui to be together, but they can't rest assured that Autumn Leaves is with other boys.

This one......

Shen Xin sighed, these people are really realistic.

Needless to say, most of the people who think this way are boys. If the girl who has a crush on the protagonist ends up with another boy, it is a "girl".

In his previous life, as an online author, Shen Xin still knew some poisonous points.

But the problem is that in the final words of "I"s", Akiba Jizi did find someone she liked in the end, but Katsura Masakazu didn't make it clear whether the person she liked was a noble person in her heart or someone else.

When I got home, it was pitch black in my field of vision. Only the crack in the door of Xi Muhan's bedroom emitted a small piece of light.

Xi Muhan's door was closed, but the light in the room shone through the crack in the door, and he shouldn't have slept yet.

Shen Xin turned on the light and just closed the door, when he heard the sound of the door opening behind him.

Don't guess, it must be the little girl who opened the door.

"Haven't slept yet?"

"Brother Xin, you came back a little late today." Xi Muhan ran out of the bedroom in pink pajamas.

"Hmm. I'm going to go to the magazine tomorrow morning, and I'll work a little more tonight. I guess it's half past ten, right? It's time for you to rest, too. ”

Shen Xin went to the bathroom to wash his face, and when he came out, he found that Xi Muhan had already brought out the food and sat at the table with a smile.

Today's Xi Muhan's movements seem to be more neat.

"What's the joy?" Shen Xin asked.

"Huh? How do you know? Xi Muhan was surprised.

"'People are in good spirits at happy occasions', something must have happened to you. Got the first grade? Shen Xin speculated slightly.

"It's not. Isn't it common to take the first test? Xi Muhan turned his head.

"That'...... You don't want to have a boyfriend, do you? Shen Xin asked tentatively.

Xi Muhan's eyes widened, and his cheeks bulged slightly.

"Got it right?" Shen Xin said in surprise.

"Of course not. All said it, I didn't talk about love in high school. Xi Muhan clasped his fingers, but his eyes looked at Shen Xin but were extremely unfriendly.

"What's that?"

"I submitted it to the magazine, and I showed you the novel that was set."

"Oh, fantasy." Shen Xin was a little impressed, before the Chinese New Year, he did make some suggestions, "And then?" ”

"Almost, maybe a little bit more revised." Xi Muhan explained.

"Huh?"

Shen Xin looked at Xi Muhan with a stunned expression, this incident was not expected by him.
