My Cartoonist Guide

　　 Dinner, Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong did not talk about work matters, but because they already know the reprint of "Hire of Go", everyone's mood is relatively relaxed.

Wang Wenhong did not say too much at the dinner table, but he knew that the booklet of the first volume of "Soul of the Game" was just a small mouth. He predicted that in the next one or two weeks, the single-day sales of "Soul of the Game" would not be too much. Great improvement, but the popularity is longer than that of ordinary comics.

After eating, the assistant continued to draw the manuscript on the first floor, and Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong also sat down on the sofa on the second floor.

"To be honest, two days after the sale, I really thought I was going to die." Wang Wenhong smiled bitterly.

"Very bad, right?" Shen Xin had asked Wang Wenhong before, but Wang Wenhong never answered, but asked him to ask Shang Haozhi.

He found it troublesome, so he didn't ask any more.

"Can you guess?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"I'm not a fool. You are my editor in charge, don't you know the sales?" Shen Xin looked at Wang Wenhong sullenly.

Wang Wenhong gave a dry laugh, and Shen Xin was right. If he didn't even know the sales volume of "Hire of Go", then he was the editor in charge.

"On the first release day, the sales volume of "Hire of the Game" was only 30,000 copies, and you also drew a very popular comic. You should know better than me what this sales volume means for the first edition of 300,000 copies?" Wang Wenhong asked back. Tao.

Shen Xin nodded. Only 30,000 copies were sold on the first release day, and 100,000 copies were sold at most in a week, which is indeed a rather poor result for "Hire".

"But why do you have to reprint today?" Shen Xin asked puzzled.

Wang Wenhong pushed the middle frame of the glasses, "Do you know what I have been working on for the past two weeks?"

Shen Xin shook his head, how could he know these things?

"In fact, there is nothing special, that is, I recommended "Soul of Chess" to the Go Dojo in Hongchuan, as well as the chess club. Yes, "Soul of Chess" is not as popular as "Slam Dunk", but I don't think it is "Soul of Chess". The quality of "" is worse than "Slam Dunk", but Go is not as popular as basketball.

"Actually, the ranking of "Soul of the Game" recently dropped. The most fundamental reason is that Zhen Duan lost the 9th dan to the lieutenant of Han. Most readers of "Soul of the Go" don't understand Go. If it were before, they might not care about Zhenduo's 9dan Whether you will lose or not, but after the publication of "The Soul of Go", some readers have begun to accept Go and even plan to go to the dojo or Go classroom to learn.

"At this moment, they saw that the first Chinese Go player actually lost to the vice-general of Han Guo, and they were disappointed in Go. Tired of the house and Wu, "Soul of Go" was also implicated. The students of the dojo, especially thinking Those who enroll in amateur interest classes are also in hesitation."

Shen Xin scratched his head, unexpectedly there was such a relationship in between.

"However, those who aspire to become professional chess players have not been affected. Those amateur players who often go to chess clubs to play chess have a relatively small impact. This is like the national football audience, many fans who expressed disappointment in watching the national football game. , There are a lot of fans who don't play very much. But even if the national football team loses some incredible games, they will still play in their free time. Therefore, I intend to make these fans become readers of "Gossip".

"However, if these people have time to read comics, they would rather play chess. Therefore, only when there is no room in the chess club, they will take time to take a look at "Soul of Chess", and then they will put "Soul of Chess" down again. When you leave the chess club, you may think of the content of "Soul of the Game", and you will buy a copy. In addition, there is another situation, you have already drawn it in "Soul of the Game."

After saying so much, Wang Wenhong had a dry mouth, so he drank a cup of coffee.

"Have it?"

Shen Xin was a little puzzled, as he was about to recall the content of "The Soul of Chess", Xi Muhan immediately said, "Child."

"Yes. It is the children who can play Go. For "Soul of Go", they are the real readers. The characters of "Soul of Go" are similar to their age, and they can understand Go, and they may even feel the same. feel."

Shen Xin raised his brows.

Because Zhen Duan lost the game, some readers who were just interested in Go immediately changed their attitudes, and Wang Wenhong went to chess clubs and dojos to promote some Go enthusiasts. It is hard to say that "Soul of Go" is a loss. Still earn.

"However, since it is not possible for Go enthusiasts to buy "Soul of Go" in a day, the sales of the single book only started to increase on the third day of the release of "Soul of Go". The sales volume reached 100,000 yesterday, which is considered a Peak, right? I guess that readers who abandon "Soul of Go" will return. Eventually, a certain balance will be reached."

"Why?" Xi Muhan asked puzzledly.

"Sister Xiaohan, if there is only one high-quality comic in a magazine, like "new　world" and "y\\\'s" at the beginning, once readers give up "y\\\'s", they are very likely They won’t buy "new　world" again, and after that, they will drift away from "y\\\'s".

"Comic　Future" is different. Some readers like "The Legend of the Dragon King", some readers hope "Hunting Abyss", and some readers like "Crime"... As long as they like one of the comics, they will buy it. "Comic　Future". By then, readers will also read "The Soul of the Game."

"Do you think the drop in the vote rate of "Hairki" is because readers did not watch "Hairki"? No, they don't want to vote for "Hairki". So far, compared to other comics ~www.NovelMTL.com~the rhythm Slow, it takes one or two plots to speed up, but I know that Mr. Shen has his own plan. I don't want to disrupt Mr. Shen's rhythm. Moreover, I believe slow-paced comics often have a lot of stamina."

The strength of a magazine depends on how many top-level works the magazine publishes. Not only can the quality of the magazine be improved because of the competition between these works, but at the same time, these works have formed a big net to protect each other. Even if a comic has a decline in popularity due to some factors, it can still be reversed with one or two opportunities.

This is true of comics, and the same is true of novels.

Shen Xin knew this truth, only after Wang Wenhong explained it, it became clearer.

"Brother Wang, thank you so much this time." Shen Xin smiled.

"It is much harder to hear you call'Brother Wang' than to hear you call'Sister Yan'." Wang Wenhong also smiled, "However, our relationship was really not good at the time, and I knew it in my heart. "

"Yes, when you dig my assistant, I wanted to rub you on the ground," Shen Xin said.

"Then... the idea is really bad, but it's not my idea. I'm just an accomplice at best. If you want me to dig someone, I can do it too."

"Come on, I won't do such dishonest things." Shen Xin stood up from his seat and stretched out his right hand, "Brother Xin, I still have to rely on you next."

Wang Wenhong smiled without saying a word, stood up, pushed the middle frame of the glasses, and held Shen Xin's hand together.
