My Cartoonist Guide

If only the sales of a comic are declining, it can be said that for some reasons, readers have resisted the comic, which in turn caused the sales of comics to fall.

But the collective decline in sales of several comics is probably not that simple.

"What is the rate of decline of other comics?" Wang Wenhong asked in a deep voice, rubbing his chin.

"Speaking of it, it's also ironic. "The King of Rock" dropped from the highest of 300,000 copies last week to 140,000 copies in a single week. The decline was as high as 50%. It sounds scary, but the booklets of other comics have dropped even more. Many, most of them are above 60%."

There is definitely a problem!

This thought flashed through Wang Wenhong's mind.

"May is the most important month of "ComicFuture". Originally, the first edition of Volume 2 of "Ding Shi" was 300,000 copies. Considering the impact of this matter, the sales department was downgraded to 220,000 copies. The first edition of "Yi" has also been reduced by 60,000 copies."

"Really don't know the reason?"

It's impossible for the magazine to investigate such a big matter, right?

"The statistics of the sales department have just come out, and we haven't had time to investigate." Shang Haozhi crossed his fingers and his eyes were sharp.

"What are you telling me for?"

Wang Wenhong did not understand Shang Haozhi's intentions.

He is just an editor in charge, and in this case, the effect that he can play is minimal.

"The 2.3 million copies of the first edition of "Steel Refining" have not been reduced... Whether it is the senior management, the sales department, or myself, I don't want "Steel Refining" to reduce the number of first editions. The magazine needs a copy. "The King of Rock and Roll" has been broken, and "Steel Refining" can't lose any more."

"Then what can Teacher Shen do..."

"Momentum... If possible, I hope Teacher Shen can conduct a book signing on May 22 at Jiman Bookstore..."

"Impossible!" Wang Wenhong patted the table and stared at Shang Haozhi, "If it is other time, I believe Teacher Shen will definitely be fine, but in the past one or two months, no!"

"Ms. Shen came to "ComicFuture" and has never signed a book sale." Shang Haozhi said patiently.

"I know, but... Mr. Shang, you have read the names of the next few words of "Steel Refining". The content of each word is more than 30 pages. Teacher Shen has to draw more than 120 pages of manuscripts a month. To design posters and color pages, and then take another day to participate in the signing of the book...I admit that Teacher Shen is very good, but he is also a human..."

"This is really unfair to Mr. Shen, but only this time. You don't want the sales of "Steel Refining" to plummet, do you? Both for Teacher Shen and "Steel Refining", you need to build momentum."

"Closed." Wang Wenhong interrupted.

"what?"

"It's okay to have Mr. Shen sign the book for sale, but the publication will be closed for a week, so that Mr. Shen can regain some strength. I remember that Mr. Shen has not closed the publication for a year and a half.

"This matter is not your turn to decide! Go and tell Teacher Shen about this matter, and see Teacher Shen's choice." Shang Haozhi waved his hand.

If the publication of "Steel Making" ceases, the sales of the magazine will definitely fall sharply.

Wang Wenhong frowned.

How else can Teacher Shen decide? He estimated that he did not hesitate to accept, after all, to promote the work is also the responsibility of the cartoonist.

If it is normal, Wang Wenhong would definitely not object, but this time is too unlucky, "Steel Refining" just met a big wave of climax, Shen Xin not only draws more than 30 pages of manuscripts every week, but also, in order to express the picture. The rendering power and the exquisiteness of the picture should also be improved.

In this case, it is not only energy that tests Shen Xin, but also physical strength.

Seeing Wang Wenhong’s solemn expression, Shang Haozhi sighed, “Relax, I will discuss with Jiman Bookstore, and I will only ask Mr. Shen to sign for 5 hours, up to 800 copies. No matter if the time is exceeded or the number of single copies is reached, this time will be terminated. activity."

"Then... I'll ask Mr. Shen's opinion, and I'll give you an answer when the time comes." Wang Wenhong didn't say anything to death.

"Well, let's go..." Shang Haozhi nodded slightly, seeing Wang Wenhong stand up and walked to the door, and suddenly stopped him.

Wang Wenhong turned around suspiciously and looked at Shang Haozhi.

"Call in Yan Fei."

"know."

Wang Wenhong came out of the meeting room and walked to Yan Fei's table.

"What does the editor-in-chief call you?"

"Small things... the editor-in-chief called you in."

"Ok?"

Yan Fei was a little surprised. Could it be Zuo Yuan's business?

She stood up and entered the conference room.

"Editor in chief, you call me?"

"That's it... Recently, "The Journey of Two People" has been well received on the Internet, but it is different from "Gang Lian". Apart from animation, there are no extra derivatives. The magazine felt that if the "Two People's Journey" could be launched "Zhengtu", there should be good sales. You can ask Teacher Su and Teacher Xi, if they are okay, see if they can provide a version of the manuscript."

"Does it need to be serialized in "Qi Chuang Library"?"

"No, just publish it directly. Let the two teachers prepare the manuscript of the first volume first, and then submit it to the "Wen Ku" for proofreading." Shang Haozhi said.

"Got it."

Yan Fei nodded.

Su Han and Xi Muhan are both people who rely on typing to eat. After finishing the first volume, the problem shouldn't be too big.

After Yan Fei left, Shang Haozhi leaned on the back of his chair and rubbed his forehead, his current situation suddenly became confusing.

How can the sales of single-book books drop significantly? Is this only the case with "ComicFuture", or is it the same with other magazines?

You must find out the cause quickly.

...

"Probably this is the case..." Wang Wenhong relayed the conversation between him and Shang Haozhi to Shen Xin.

Shen Xin rubbed his eyes with both hands and did not speak.

"What about me? Don't you also directly refute Mr. Shang's words." Yan Fei said in a bad mood.

"I have a few months before the contract expires, what am I afraid of?" Wang Wenhong stretched out.

"Not going to renew?"

"Who knows... I don't know what to do now? It's a pity that I saved too little money~www.NovelMTL.com~ or it would be good to buy a piece of land and plant it." Wang Wenhong smiled.

Shen Xin didn't believe Wang Wenhong's words at all. If he can relax, he will be a ghost.

"So, Teacher Shen, do you agree or not?" Wang Wenhong's gaze fell on Shen Xin, "My suggestion, I refuse it. Anyway, the magazine dare not do anything to you. The workload this month is really It's too big, I'm afraid you won't be able to carry it off."

Shen Xin waved his hand, "This is not too much of a problem. On the day of signing the book, I can draw the line draft in advance, and give the others to Gaohang. The work will not be affected too much...a month, more than 30 words per word Page, I should be able to get busy. What I am worried about now is the decline in sales of "The King of Rock"."

The eyes of Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong sharpened in an instant, and Xi Muhan, who was sitting aside, also looked at Shen Xin nervously.

First set a small goal, such as 1 second remember: Shukeju
