But Liang Yu and Chen Nan never expected that the so-called good results were actually so popular that they couldn't do it.

On the first day, the sales volume of "Chess Soul" in various bookstores increased to more than 40,000 copies, and on the second day, it increased to 70,000 copies.

This time, the editorial team resolutely decided to print 500,000 copies!

This is definitely a rare thing in the comic industry.,It's not that there are no comics with higher grades than this.,On the contrary,"Dragon Pig" and "Youyou Black Book" These comics have reached a single volume of more than two million sales a year,But,As far as a newcomer with no creative background at all,The first volume is not a cumulative sales,This combat power can be said to be explosive.。

500,000 copies is a threshold, representing a threshold for popular cartoonists, although Guo Pinyuan and Ye Chuan thought that Liang Yu and Chen Nan would do it sooner or later, but what they never expected was that success came so suddenly!

"Awesome, Chen Nan and Liang Yu are really amazing!"

Guo Pinyuan took the notice in his hand and couldn't help but exclaim.

Even the editors who opposed the two newcomers at the beginning have completely changed their views, editors are not gods, and there are always times when they make mistakes, but when there are authors who can prove themselves with strength, editors will not hesitate to praise themselves.

This can be seen from the attitude of the main programming Qihua.

The additional printing of 500,000 copies was approved by the editor-in-chief, which is enough to see his confidence in "Chess Soul". (If it can't be sold within three months, the major bookstores will return it, and the editorial department will have to eat the inventory by itself)

And that's not all.

At this time, Cheng Qihua pushed the door out of the editor-in-chief's exclusive office and shouted in the direction of Guo Pinyuan: "Pinyuan." ”

"Yes, editor-in-chief, what's the matter?" Guo Pinyuan hurriedly stood up from his seat.

"It's nothing, you just sit down, just tell you, the 3rd issue of the 19th, "Chess Soul" is arranged to be on the first prize, the title is to celebrate the sale of 500,000 single books, you let the author prepare."

"Okay, okay!" Guo Pinyuan replied in surprise.

Cheng Qihua raised his upper lip slightly, then turned around and returned to his office.

Because the entire editorial office is connected, the editor-in-chief must have heard it as well.

"Wow, the single book will be on the jackpot immediately after it is sold, and the first place next week will definitely be covered by "Chess Soul".

"What do you know, Editor-in-Chief Cheng's trick is called striking with heat, using the roll jackpot to promote a single book, "Chess Soul" is really popular."

The entire editorial department cannot be said to be monolithic, and the reactions of colleagues are also different, after all, it is a workplace, and everyone is in competition with each other.

However, there is one thing that has become the consensus among the editors, that is, Guo Pinyuan's efforts for the serialization of these two newcomers have finally come to fruition.

At this time, Guo Pinyuan took off his coat from the back of the chair and stood up.

"Lao Guo, are you going out again?"

As soon as winter arrives, Qiu Nan is cold for a while, and there is air conditioning in the editorial office, so if it is not necessary, no one wants to run outside. However, when everyone looked at Guo Pinyuan's eyes, it seemed to be on fire.

"Well, it's not convenient to explain on the phone, it's better to run." With that, Guo Pinyuan pushed open the door of the editorial department and left quickly.

"Hey, isn't Lao Guo working too hard lately?"

"Hahahaha, if the work I'm responsible for is so popular, I'll do my best."

Among the editors, only Liu Xiang did not join in the chatting conversation, he just held the freshly brewed coffee, staring intently at the back of Guo Pinyuan leaving, thoughtfully.

"What, 500,000 copies of "Chess Soul" will be printed, and they will be given a head prize?" After Gu Chengfeng heard the news, he was so shocked that he swiped the pen in his hand and pulled out a waste line. But he didn't have the time to pay attention to such a trivial matter, and bit his fingernails, showing an unwilling expression.

"Don't you like Teacher Liangyu, shouldn't you congratulate them on their success?" Liu Xiang took off his coat casually, there was air conditioning in the room, and he sat down on the sofa casually.

"Although I like Teacher Liangyu very much, she is indeed quite cute, but this is a two-way thing," Gu Chengfeng had already taken out his mobile phone when he said this, edited a message congratulating the printing of 500,000 copies of the single book and sent it out, and soon received a reply, his face showed a satisfied smile, but he noticed Liu Xiang's eyes, and quickly tightened his face and said: "But my self-esteem does not allow it, I will definitely not admit defeat like this." ”

What self-esteem doesn't allow, didn't you just text someone?

Liu Xiang decided to pretend that he didn't see it, and got up from the sofa, he already knew the layout of Gu Chengfeng's house well, he went to the kitchen cupboard and took out a cup, and then made himself a cup of tea.

However, what Gu Chengfeng said he actually knew that Gu Chengfeng serialized "Wang Tinghui Yin" a month earlier than Liang Yu, the first printing was 300,000 copies, and he only planned to reprint it now, and the sales of the first "Dragon Sword" single book had already exceeded 800,000, but in terms of sales speed, it was far less terrible than "Chess Soul".

Gu Chengfeng has always been a self-confident person, and in the future, it can be said that he is stubborn and self-serving, and naturally he will not be willingly surpassed by others, even if that person is the person he likes.

Liu Xiang doesn't hate this.

Liu Xiang has been dealing with this guy since Gu Chengfeng submitted to Fantasy, and he is familiar with the way to deal with this troublesome guy. Gu Chengfeng, you can't follow his heart, so he just smiled and passed, because he felt that he was originally like this, you praised him for just telling the truth, you are sincere or something, I don't understand the meaning of your Jinli hidden needle at all.

Therefore, to treat this kind of person, it is necessary to use stimulation therapy.

"Chengfeng." Liu Xiang pondered for a moment and then spoke: "It's really not good for you to go on like this, although the rankings of "Dragon Sword" and "Wang Ting's Emblem Seal" are very high now, but your goal should not stop there, right?" Is it enough to just be a popular author, and if that's all it takes, why would the editorial department give you the right to open two serials by yourself? You know, in Fantasy magazine, every serialization is stepping on the bones of countless failed works, and as a serializer, you have to shoulder the responsibility of even the fate of those who are taken away from the future losers, do you understand? ”

Gu Chengfeng didn't need anyone to teach him this, but after he really became the author of the serial, he realized more and more that this world is not so simple, but it is not just that you can reach the top with talent.

"I know, but ......"

What exactly is to be done?

"Moreover, according to your momentum, will Teacher Liangyu think that Gu Chengfeng is just lucky, but in fact he has no ability, and clearly said that 'my opponent is only Teacher Toriyama', and ''Chess Soul' is not my opponent at all."

“！”

Gu Chengfeng was taken aback.

"Did you tell them?"

"Not yet, but if you continue to keep your words like this, if you don't practice, I'll consider it."

"Are you threatening me?"

Liu Xiang squinted his eyes and didn't answer, but the meaning in his expression couldn't be clearer.

"Ahhh Gu Chengfeng picked up the paintbrush on the table as if he had given up, and sat back on his chair: "Just draw more interesting content, I won't complain anymore, this time, I will speak with strength!" ”

Gu Chengfeng waved his paintbrush, his gaze like a sharp edge.
