269. Good start
Of course, many things still need time to prove, and for "Margalilyn" and "Friends' Account", the first issue of "Margalilyn" has sparked everyone's topic, which should be a good start.
But in terms of influence, "Friends' Account" obviously lacks that height, firstly, the sales of Margalilyn's journal are 200,000 copies, which is only a fraction of the 5 million sales of Fantasy magazine, and secondly, this is a girl's magazine, for Liang Yu and Yuliang, this is still a strange soil.
The seeds are planted, but they still need to be watered and cared for to take root and sprout.
Unlike Fantasy, "Margaeryline" also has a response form from readers, but unlike Fantasy magazine, everything is determined by rankings, and the only end of a work that is not popular is to be slashed.
But having said that, if a magazine wants to continue, it still has to cater to the tastes of readers, so it is the right thing to do to remove the roughness. "Margaeryline" also has its own reader questionnaire, but instead of 3 votes per reader like Fantasy, the ranking is divided from more than 20 serialized works, and the practice of "Margaeryline" is to take out 3 short stories first, and then let readers check the remaining 16 works, you can choose 1~8 works.
Why?
In fact, the reason is the same as Fantasy, but this selection method lacks a trace of Fantasy's aggressive momentum that determines everything in ranking, and the number of votes for the work will seem to be more - who calls Fantasy magazine rich and rich, and the magazine side that is obviously disproportionate to its sales can only use its own wisdom.
And the human touch is that the comics serialized on "Margalilyn" will not be cut and chopped, and it will usually wait until the author serializes to the amount of a single book, so that you can finish it decently, compared with the situation of Fantasy magazine when everyone trembles at the end of the month, this is indeed much more humane, but then again, Fantasy is because of such a cruel survival of the fittest, so it can always lead in sales, and the sales are the best.
It wasn't until four days after Margalilyn's release that the magazine began counting readers' votes for their responses.
The final result of "Friends' Account" is 401 votes, ranking third, of course, this result is not enough if it is placed in Fantasy, because as long as the quality of the new serialization there is good, it is guaranteed to compete for one, which is why the serialization in Fantasy magazine, the first word of the new serialization is the easiest opportunity to get the first.
But shoujo manga is different.
Readers are obviously more sympathetic to their favorite authors, and they will support a work after affirming it, and as long as the author does not make a big death and does not anger the reader, this rhythm will be maintained until the end of the work. Such particularity makes "Margaliline" even if there are up to 8 works to check, but the popularity of the new serialized works is not destined to be high, and it needs to accumulate popularity over a long period of time, which is why the new work must test the water more than 4 words, and it can't be finished in a hasty sentence - because there is a high probability that it will really be over.
When the statistical results came out, Huang Yuan chatted with the editor-in-chief because of this achievement.
"401 votes, new serialization, sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame," compared with Huang Yuan, who is only in his early 30s, the current editor-in-chief of "Margalilyn" is already in his forties, and he will probably be promoted to the top of the White Bird Club in two years, so he has always been not seeking merit but seeking no fault for the following policies, and in recent years, he has relied more and more on Huang Yuan, the deputy editor-in-chief, and has the meaning of seeing him as his successor.
However, Huang Yuan also knows that this kind of appointment and dismissal is not up to the editor-in-chief, even if he swears to pack the ticket, but the result still depends on the meaning of the above, when the time comes, this guy is transferred, and there is an editor-in-chief who is parachuted from above, even if it is a different business department of the same company, the things that are flattened are very frequent, and I recently heard that the editor-in-chief of Fantasy seems to be going to be transferred to SQ as the editor-in-chief, and the two deputy editors-in-chief seem to be pinching more and more in order to show off their achievements.
Of course, Huang Yuan cares about this kind of thing, but he doesn't think about it much, because he knows that it's useless to think too much, so he still has to deal with the things at hand and make achievements to see it.
In his eyes, this Liang Yu and this "Friend's Account" are obviously a stepping stone to take advantage of.
"It's really powerful.,Generally speaking,Even if it's a popular old author who opens a new one,,It may not be able to reach this high vote rate.,If this Yuliang is the original author of "Chess Soul",The result is unknown.,But now the author's information is a mystery.,The magazine didn't recommend it much.,You can get 400 votes.,As long as you maintain this level of creation,The future will definitely not be ordinary.。
"You've really found a good seedling."
"No, it's thanks to the editor-in-chief, who has a torch in your eyes and knows how to make good use of people." As a typical representative of the editorial department, although he knows that the other party may not be able to help him, he still tries his best to please, this is because Huang Yuan knows that although the other party can't let himself be promoted, he can make himself unlucky.
Many people just don't know this truth, so they suffer a dark loss.
No one can hear this pass-sycophant, but the editor-in-chief still feels useful, and points at Huang Yuan with a smile: "You, you." ”
Laughing at the joke, after his laughter stopped, the editor-in-chief took the statistical table and glanced up and down a few times, his expression was a little uncertain: "Do you think if you start pushing it now, will the other teachers react violently?" ”
When Huang Yuan heard this, he secretly scolded the old fox.
But he already knew this guy's eight-character motto, and he heard that the upper echelons of the White Bird Club had changed personnel this time, and there were indeed a few positions vacant, and this old guy didn't want to do much in the middle of things.
You see, a new serial, just as soon as it was launched, it was hyped up to the head prize, a propaganda page or something, someone must come out to gossip, and girls have always been jealous, and a little bit of twitter can pull out a conspiracy and tricks, no wonder the old man flinched.
But Huang Yuan is full of confidence in Liang Yu, not only that, but he also knows the news that "Chess Soul" is about to be republished.
"Margaliline" is undoubtedly lacking capital and congenitally deficient in the fight against "Fantasy", if it can't get results, Liang Yu may have to turn back. Huang Yuan knew very well that Liang Yu was actually not very firm in the matter of serialization, and although Guo Pinyuan agreed ambiguously at the time, when he signed the contract, he insisted that Liang Yu change the annual contract - that is, the names of "Friend's Account" and "Margalilyn" were written in the work column and the editorial department that issued the author's annuity, but the most important long-term cooperation contract was not signed, and only a side agreement of the annual contract was signed, stipulating short-term manuscript fee income.
According to Guo Pinyuan's opinion at that time, it would not be too late to sign a detailed contract after "Friends' Account" could be serialized on "Margalilyn" for a long time. And Huang Yuan did feel that it was safer to do this after listening to it at the time, after all, he was the one who promoted this matter, and if there was any trouble in the future, he would have to take the blame alone, if Teacher Liang Yu was really not suitable for Margaeryline, then as long as the long-term contract was not signed, it would be pushed off at that time. But now Huang Yuan understands that his caution has become a sore foot, he should have gritted his teeth and insisted on signing it, he thought that Guo Pinyuan was thinking about himself, but it turned out that he was swinging himself horizontally and vertically.
So at this time, we must not back down.
Just like the editor-in-chief for his own promotion, in line with the creed of idleness and inaction, Huang Yuan feels that this "Friend's Account" may be an opportunity to remove the prefix of his title as deputy editor-in-chief.
In a few breaths, he had adjusted his mood and the smile on his face, and then poured out the words brewing in his chest.
