Chapter 123: Countermeasures
If Y's is going to have events in July, August, and September, it's best to get ready before July.
Considering that negotiations rarely come to an end, Yan Fei had to remind Shen Xin.
Now, "Y's" is the first to strike, and most of the popular new works have not started large-scale promotion before taking advantage of the second phase, so they have the advantage.
However, when "Hunting Abyss" is released in July, Su Han will make another move, and Shen Xin will be at a disadvantage.
It's a long run, and just because you start running fast doesn't mean you'll make it to the end. In the same way, if "Y's" wants to make a difference, it must retain enough stamina.
"I thought about it, but I didn't think of a good way to do it this time." Shen Xin shook his head, "Next time I have to face a new animation." If "Y's" had relied solely on radio dramas, it would have been flooded very quickly. ”
"What then?" Yan Fei asked.
Shen Xin shook his head, "I don't know either." When you have time, meet with the president first and see his bottom line. Otherwise, I can't think of a good way. ”
"Yes." Yan Fei thought about it for a while, and had to agree with Shen Xin's statement.
No matter how well the plan is written, if the funds are not in place, all the efforts will be in vain.
"Then you can determine an approximate time, and then I will discuss it with the president."
"May, right? Let's take a look at the sales of the third volume first. Shen Xin rubbed his chin and replied softly.
If you want to take the initiative, you still have to have results.
Yan Fei nodded, it is estimated that in May, Song Tai will have a few days of free time, and he can discuss it slowly when the time comes.
The sudden rise of the third volume of "Y's" has taken many people in the industry by surprise.
Ye Hexu was also shocked when he saw the figures given by the official Weibo of "New World". He knew that the quality of "Y's" was very high, but he didn't expect that a single volume could sell 390,000 copies in a week, and the sales of the first and second volumes were also boosted, surpassing "Crime and Punishment" in one fell swoop, becoming the tenth on the newcomer list.
"Now the magazine is in a mess, and many people feel that the editor-in-chief has made a mistake and ignored other opponents."
Jian Xiaomei also mentioned this matter when she received the manuscript, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Before, she thought that "Y's" was just a small fight, but now she is starting to face the opponent seriously.
Ye Hexu sat cross-legged on the chair, "This time, it was indeed a mistake by the magazine. But this mistake was not that there was no mass publicity, but that "Crime" and "Y's" were released on the same day. ”
"What do you mean?" Jian Xiaomei was puzzled.
"It's simple. The two comics were released on the same day, and if "Crime" sold more than "Y's", most readers would think it was normal, after all, "Comic Future" is the largest comic magazine in China, and Su Han is a best-selling author, with these two bonuses, no matter how good "Crime" is, readers will feel that it is right.
"But "Y's" is different, it is only famous in Hongchuan, and it is not too popular in the whole country. But "Y's" de quality is greater than fame, so it was able to surpass "Punishment" by 4,000 copies on its launch day and sell more than "Punishment" by 30,000 copies in a week...... Jian Xiaomei, do you know what this means? ”
Ye Hexu leaned back, his cheeks facing the ceiling, but his eyes were aimed at Jian Xiaomei's face.
"What does that mean?"
"What a stepping stone - the proud work of best-selling author Su Han has become a stepping stone for a love comic. Ordinary readers don't care whether the magazine advertises or not, they only know that the weekly sales of "Crime" are not as good as "Y's". The popularity of "Crime and Punishment" has suffered, while "Y's" has really taken a step forward, letting domestic readers know about "Y's" and Shen Zheng. What awaits them next will be......" Ye Hexu pulled out a piece of manuscript paper, picked up a dipping pen, and quickly drew a rocket on the back of the paper, "Soaring into the sky." ”
"So powerful?" Jian Xiaomei looked at the rocket on the original manuscript paper, a little hesitant.
"Of course not. I was talking nonsense. Ye Hexu smiled, saw Jian Xiaomei's slightly angry eyes, and explained, "For Y's, this is a successful operation. "Y's" is good, but when the craze dissipates, its popularity will still decline. Therefore, in the long run, "Crime and Punishment" still has an advantage. However, if "Y's" makes one or two more big moves, it will be difficult to say. ”
Jian Xiaomei was thoughtful, "But...... Xu Jie will not sit still, there should be a big move. ”
"Then I don't know...... Anyway, in July, it's the stage of "Hunting the Abyss". Ye Hexu laughed.
Jian Xiaomei nodded slightly, her eyes focused on the manuscript paper on the table, and then she shuddered and hit Ye Hexu's head.
"You bastard, don't just sketch the back of the original."
……
Almost at the same time, in the café near "Comic Future", Xu Jie sat in the corner with his hands on his chest, frowning, staring at the name on the table, but his mind was not on this name at all.
Han Ye, who was sitting opposite him, held a pencil and quickly drew on a blank piece of paper against a comic, and after a while, the image of a girl appeared on the white paper. He then doubled it again, and suddenly, shook his head slightly.
Still can't compare.
Xu Jie glared at Han Ye angrily, since this guy watched "Y's", he has been energetic and can rest normally, but his time outside of work is all on "Y's", either holding a pen, comparing comic paintings, or wearing headphones, listening carefully to the radio drama of "Y's", especially, after the first and second words can be downloaded for free, he specially bought an MP3.
Please, you're opponents, can you be serious!
Xu Jie sighed, but he was helpless.
Han Ye finally became a little more normal, and he didn't dare to let Han Ye return to his previous state. The best thing to do now is to turn a blind eye.
Xu Jie looked at the door boredly, but saw two girls pushing the door and walking in.
"Ahem, Teacher Han......" Xu Jie knocked on the table twice, "Teacher Su is here." ”
"Teacher Su?" Han Ye blinked, and sure enough, he saw two people walking towards them.
The woman who walked in front was wearing a sky-blue tunic with a thin white sweater underneath. Black hair tied up with a blue bow and toad glasses.
The woman is beautiful, but she is also very tall, and her whole body naturally exudes a proud temperament.
The woman who followed her was dressed in professional attire and had a serious expression.
"Teacher Su, long time no see." Xu Jie hurriedly stood up.
"You don't have a good memory, we only met a week ago." Su Han said coldly.
“……”
This woman really can't talk.
Xu Jie rolled his eyes.
"Okay, Brother Xu, I'm very busy, just tell me if there's anything, right?"
Seeing the waiter coming, Su Han waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need coffee.
"Ahem...... I put Teacher Su ...... The two of them were called out mainly for two things. Xu Jie coughed lightly, "The first thing is more important, and it is related to the results of "Crime and Punishment". ”
