Chapter 87: Celebration

In order to ensure the authority of the reader survey, it is natural that more reader questionnaires can be received in each issue, and only enough can more objectively reflect the views of the mainstream readers of the magazine.

In order to encourage readers to send out the Reader's Survey, Jumc made the Reader's Questionnaire into a postcard with postage prepaid. Readers who buy a magazine do not need to spend extra money to send out the questionnaire that comes with the magazine, they just need to fill it out, and then stuff it into a mailbox on the street, and the postman will regularly collect it and send it to the office building where the editorial office of JUMC is located.

The postage of each reader survey is paid for by the magazine. However, due to the large number of issues issued, the postage for each reader survey is only 1 yen. However, every issue of millions of magazines comes with a prepaid reader survey, which means that the magazine has to pay millions of yen per week just for the reader survey, which adds up to no less than 100 million yen per year.

Such a cost is definitely not low. It can cover the salary expenses of at least 20 ordinary employees.

In other magazines, most of them think that this is a cost that can be streamlined, and there is no need to waste 100 million or 200 million yen a year to encourage readers to send out surveys. After all, many magazines think that they don't need reader feedback to be able to judge that work is more interesting.

However, after years of practice, the editorial department of "Young JUMC" has proved that the objectivity of the reader questionnaire exceeds the judgment of any senior editor.

Using the results of the reader's questionnaire to determine the new serialization qualifications of comics, as well as cutting some less popular serialized comics, is also more fair and objective, at least, than the editors are not optimistic, so it is more convincing to cut a work in half.

Although the questionnaire sent by a large number of readers cannot completely replace the work of the editor, the foundation of the operation of the magazine "Jumco" also revolves around the reader questionnaire system.

If the reader survey system is overturned, it is tantamount to denying the secret of Shonen JUMC's success in surpassing all its peers and dominating the manga industry for decades.

In each issue of JUMC magazine, the editorial team leader, deputy editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief and other senior editors in the editorial department will have the right to hold a meeting to discuss the results of the reader survey. At the meeting, it will be announced that 2 or more works will be cut in half.

According to the results of 20 serialized magazines, under normal circumstances, the works that have been announced to be cut in half are basically 19~20 titles. Of course, sometimes we will choose a list of less than 15 works. If the works of the 19~20 most bottom-ranked are considered by the editorial department to have a certain rescue value and are given an observation period, then the list of halves will often be selected in the range of 16~20.

Of course, it's also possible that the new comics submitted in a certain issue are too strong, and the serialized comics that are at the bottom of the popularity in the same period may be cut in half more. Theoretically, there may be five or six extremely good works in the same period, then, not only the last 5 comics are in danger, but theoretically the comics ranked 12 or later, there is a probability of being cut in half.

The number of cuts depends not only on whether the manga itself at the bottom of the popularity is worth watching, but also on the strength of the competitors who are newly submitted.

"Now, I announce that the results of the small positive will be counted!" "Nao Sasaki, the chief editor (editor-in-chief) of the editorial department of "Shonen JUMC", announced, "Bottle, you are responsible for reporting the results!"

"Yes!" Bottle Yoshihisa, deputy editor of the magazine, has the right to speak on the work, second only to Nao Sasaki.

Of course, even if "Young JUMC" is the editor, he can't say anything. The basis for deciding whether a work is halved or a new serialization is mainly a reader survey. At the same time, the parent company behind the magazine, You Rong Society, has more abundant publishing and adaptation resources.

The editorial department of "Juvenile JUMC" is also responsible for reporting the best and most valuable works for publication and adaptation, and it is up to the top to decide whether to carry out a greater degree of commercial operation of the excellent works.

Therefore, the popularity and ranking in the magazine is just the beginning of the dream of a cartoonist. Once you get good results for a long time, then a series of benefits such as single books, comics, animations, games, peripherals, etc. will follow. Theoretically, "Shonen JUMC" has the potential to cultivate manga artists like Akira Toriyama and Eiichiro Oda who are super popular, socially and influential, and who have also reached the level of world celebrities.

The statistical results of the reader survey are also divided into flash reports and small positives.

The results of the flash report are the results of the first 100 reader questionnaires received by the editorial department, and this result is relatively arbitrary.

As for Xiao Zheng, 1,000 questionnaires were randomly selected from all the questionnaires sent to him and the results were entered into the computer. The results will be released in two weeks.

Of course, the Xiaozheng that came out two weeks later can be regarded as the official basis for deciding whether to cut it in half.

The results of the flash report are only for the editorial department and cartoonists to have a preliminary impression of the results of the questionnaire.

......

Outside the meeting room.

As an ordinary editor who was not qualified to attend, Yamahisa waited until Koji Yoshida, the editorial team leader of his group, came out and asked, "Team leader Yoshida, how is the result of the quick report?"

"Well, what ...... the result" Yoshida Koji was absent-minded, he was thinking about the recent Hirimaru Kazuya under him, and he couldn't find anyone these days, so he didn't know where he had gone. No, after work, you must find him and lock him in his room to catch up on the manuscript. Unlike the supervision of prison guards, it is impossible for Heimaruichi to work honestly.

During this time, Hiramaru Kazuya was perfunctory, not only did his score drop to eighth place. What's more, what's even more fucked up is that the comics are not saved, and the cartoonist is missing, even if he has been moldy for eight lifetimes, he met such a lazy and talented cartoonist who constantly needs to be supervised by the editor.

"That...... Isn't it inconvenient to say? Afraid of dampening the enthusiasm of Teacher Cangshu Yuntao?"

"What are you talking about...... "AI Girlfriend"? Oh, the quick report score just now was the first, and "My AI Girlfriend" won the first place in the quick report with an absolute advantage. Nearly 50 of the 100 reader surveys voted for "My AI Girlfriend"! So, congratulations, Yamahisa! Koji Yoshida said.

Editor Yamahisa didn't look very excited on the surface, but in fact, his mood could be said to have rushed to the sky. To be developed, the performance competition of an editorial department like "Young JUMC" is actually very cruel. Ordinary editors, who have not signed long-term contracts, need the achievements of their cartoonists to prove their achievements in order to continue to stay in the editorial department, and even be promoted to the head of the editorial team. At the team leader level, not only do they have other editors in charge at hand, but they are also qualified to enter the decision-making level, and the statistical results of the reader questionnaire are the participation of these senior editors who are qualified to make decisions. Of course, the leader of the editorial team can be regarded as a formal editor, and the pressure in the workplace is far less than that of the editor-in-charge.

Of course, it's not too difficult to edit in the group, as long as the cartoonist with red and purple hair in his hand proves his performance ability, he can become the leader of the editing team.

......

"The flash report is out...... Congratulations, the flash report is the first in "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Wai" for the time being. ”

""My AI Girlfriend" number one?"

"Ah, that's great!"

After receiving the message from the editor of Shanjiu, Li Yuntao and Cang Shuhong hugged each other excitedly.

In an instant, Li Yuntao felt the touch brought by the girl's figure, and was a little reluctant to let go, Cangshu blushed, and gently pushed Li Yuntao away. Of course, it's just shyness, so it's a slight push, as if it's flirting.

The two were silent and kept hugging.

The feeling of electric shock, wanting to make people deep, but satisfying such a full hug, smelling each other's breath, and feeling the hot body temperature.

The body temperature is hot, well, summer! It will feel very hot after holding it for such a long time......

Half an hour later......

Cang Shuhong felt embarrassed and said, "How long do you have to hold it?"

Li Yuntao couldn't help but feel blushing and said, "I'm sorry, you're so cute, so I'm reluctant to let go." ”

"......" Teacher Cang Shuhong lowered his head and straightened his hair, and after that, he covered up his embarrassment and said, "I'm going to prepare a lunch meal, and I must make the char siu successfully today." ”

The kitchen sounded the sound of tinkling and pans.

Li Yuntao watched his sister busy in the kitchen, and his heart felt warm, Cangshuhong's sister is not only talented, but also has the potential of a good wife and mother.

"Why are you stupid? Help out in the kitchen, take a hand. After Cang Shuhong felt busy enough, he began to greet Li Yuntao, who was watching in a daze.

Li Yuntao is very lazy if he is alone. It can be dealt with with instant noodles, and it is definitely not a simple dish like making scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the kitchen.

However, it is very motivating to give the girl a hand......
