Chapter 120: On sale

Gao Hang held the D pen, endured the restlessness in his heart, and tried his best to draw the background with a normal heart. However......

He really can't do it.

Today is the first day of "Y's", the magazine has invested a lot of money in the past, recorded a radio drama, and did a lot of publicity in Hongchuan, the strongest comic atmosphere in China, and even just two days ago, Manjia.com uploaded an interview with four main voice actors and light novelist "Lonely Watching the Rain", which can be described as full of momentum.

However, how much honor you have, how much pressure you have to bear.

Before "Y's", it was just a small fight and secretly developed in the sea of clouds. And this time, "Y's" is really going to the domestic market.

In order to attract domestic readers, the magazine even gave up the book signing and sales of Yunhai.

With such a large-scale publicity, if only 100,000 or 200,000 copies can be sold, the "Y's" brand will really be smashed.

Gao Hang became Shen Xin's assistant during the most difficult time of "Y's", and accompanied Shen Xin through that unforgettable time, he sincerely hoped that "Y's" would be a big hit. But the more I cared, the more nervous I became, and the D pen in my hand became less obedient.

He let out a sigh of relief, put down the D-pen, and got up to get a cup of hot water. When he put the teacup on the table, he almost spilled water on the workbench.

"Don't put the cup on the table, what if you stain the drawing?" Lu Ning, who was sitting opposite Gao Hang, glared at him dissatisfiedly.

"I'm sorry, I forgot." Gao Hang rubbed his hands on his pants again, but he didn't mean to pick up the cup.

"Teacher Gao looked nervous." Zhou Yang was puzzled.

"Can you not be nervous? Don't forget, Crime and Punishment was also released today. If the release date is staggered, it will be forgotten, and now it may be compared. Gao Hang said uneasily, "Once the gap is too big, Y's and Teacher Shen will definitely become the target of public criticism." ”

Gao Hang shook his head again and again, that kind of pressure is not something that anyone can bear.

"Teacher Gao, you can't do this. Girls don't like boys who don't have confidence. Zhou Yang said.

"Huh? Are you sure? ”

Hearing Zhou Yang say this, Gao Hang's heart tightened.

Although he knew that Zhou Yang was a real boy, every time he saw Zhou Yang, he would treat Zhou Yang as a girl.

He didn't believe that he would be bent, but Zhou Yang was sitting next to him, so he would be more or less affected.

When Zhou Yang said this, he subconsciously thought that this was the girl's true thoughts.

"Isn't that right? If you don't believe it, ask Sister Lu if she prefers Teacher Shen. Zhou Yang whispered.

"Huh?"

Gao Hang was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he really looked at Lu Ning.

"Stinky boy, are you going to die?" Lu Ning's cheeks were slightly red, she glared at Zhou Yang angrily, and scolded in a low voice, "If you want to know what the girl thinks, talk to my sister, and my sister will buy you a few women's clothes." ”

Zhou Yang shook his head again and again, just kidding, are there still more women's clothes at home? I can't just accept it anymore.

"You three...... If you really can't calm down, go back first, right? Shen Xin, who had been looking down to paint, suddenly raised his head and looked at the three assistants.

"Huh? Teacher Shen, aren't you nervous? Gao Hang was surprised.

"How can you not be nervous?"

Shen Xin took out a tissue, wiped his hands, and glanced at the paper basket again, several pages of manuscript paper alone were wasted today. When inking lines, some pen closures will also inadvertently leave excess lines.

This would not be possible in normal times.

"But we've all done our best, even if it's not good." Shen Xin wanted to be as relaxed as possible, but deep down, he also felt a sense of weakness.

During this time, he has done the best he can, and all that remains is to see how the market reacts.

If Shen Xin's studio is in a quiet that implies impatience, then New World magazine is a different scene.

A large number of phone calls were made to the editorial department to order the signed edition of the third volume of "Y's", but the editorial department is not responsible for the sale of comics, and the magazine has also made announcements on official WeChat and Manjia.com, and the signed version of the comics can only be purchased on the official website.

Despite this, many readers still called the newsroom.

"Hey, is it New World?"

Li Jiming just answered the phone and asked directly.

If it were normal times, Li Jiming would definitely answer "yes".

For ordinary readers, the editorial office is the bridge between readers and works, so in the eyes of ordinary readers, the editorial department is equivalent to a magazine.

But today it is different, and many readers call not for the cartoonist or the work itself, but to buy the book.

"That...... This is the editorial office, if you want to buy a book......"

"That's right, I just want to buy a book, and buy the third volume of a single book signed by Mr. Shen. Is the money mailed to you? ”

The other party interrupted Li Jiming's words and asked directly.

"Sir, please go to the official website of New World and buy it. We don't sell comics here. Li Jiming said patiently.

"You don't sell comics, what kind of magazine do you run? Forget about going out of business. ”

Before Li Jiming explained, the other party hung up the phone directly.

“……”

Li Jiming had an urge to scold people, he said that this is the editorial department, and he is not responsible for selling books, and he is still calling here, which is really infuriating.

Xiaoli did not feel gloating when she saw Li Jiming, who was angry but did not spread fire, but empathized with Li Jiming, who was not the only one who received this kind of treatment.

There are only two people in the entire editorial department who can stay calm, one is Yan Fei, whenever she receives a phone call, she patiently tells the other party how to buy "Y's"; The other is the editor-in-chief, who doesn't care about the readers, he only cares about one question, how much the total sales of "Y's" will be.

Due to the call there was a lot of "Sao. disturbing the phone", so that the work progress of the editorial department has slowed down a lot.

The deputy editor walked into the magazine and sent the reader questionnaire to the editor without asking.

In fact, the editors have already guessed the ranking, and the first place must be "Y's", which has not changed in months; The second place is changed back and forth, but there are only two or three comics over and over again.

It's rare that new authors and new comics will appear.

Mr. Zhou Yang's short comic "Ghost Potential: Frontier" ranked first on the short comic list. Xiaoli, Teacher Zhou's grades are very good, and we must make persistent efforts. The deputy editor-in-chief said to Xiaoli.

"Well, I'll tell him." Xiaoli nodded hurriedly.

"When is the next short story?" The deputy editor-in-chief asked.

"After he finishes drawing the name, he has to give it to Mr. Shen for comment and then make modifications, so the progress will be relatively slow. In April, Mr. Shen is busy, so the next short story may be delayed for a while. Xiaoli explained.

The deputy editor-in-chief bowed slightly, turned his head and asked the editor-in-chief, "Brother Zhang, how is "Y's" over there?" ”

"I don't know, I'm still waiting for news from the sales department." The editor-in-chief shook his head.

Yan Fei also clasped her fingers uneasily, feeling a little anxious in her heart.

"Sister Yan, "Y's" has only been on sale for two hours, don't be too anxious." Xiaoli whispered comforting.

Yan Fei nodded her head and remained silent.

At this moment, Zombie Face walked into the editorial office quickly, "Editor-in-chief, all 2,000 signed comics have been sold." Today's other data will not come out until tomorrow morning. ”

When Yan Fei heard this, her heart beat faster.

The official website only started selling autographed comics at 10 o'clock, and now it's only 11:30 o'clock, and 2,000 copies have been sold in an hour and a half, which is not unfast.

Yan Fei suddenly had confidence in the sales of "Y's".
