My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 117: competition
Ye Hexu posted pictures of Ps pillow and mouse pad on Weibo, and @了沈昕 and the official Weibo of "NewWorld".
Soon, Jian Xiaomei sent a private message, asking him to delete Weibo.
But after Ye Hexu finished posting Weibo, he returned to the workbench and continued to draw the manuscript of "Hunting Abyss". Other assistants also worked one after another. No one knew that Jian Xiaomei had sent a private message.
Finally, Jian Xiaomei called the middle-aged assistant again and asked him to hand over the phone to Ye Hexu.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Ye Hexu took off the earphones and asked suspiciously.
"You quickly delete Weibo." Jian Xiao's sharp eyebrows came out of the microphone.
"Huh? Why?" Ye Hexu wondered.
"Nonsense! What you do is equivalent to publicizing "Y\'s". Don't forget, you are opponents!" Jian Xiaomei's voice was grumpy.
"Oh, I know all the reasons you said, but don't care too much. "Y\'s" is a very good comic. As a fan, I should always make some suggestions, right? Besides, don't you think about those surroundings? Is it great?" Ye Hexu laughed.
"You are really... mad at me. Did you know? The sales volume of "Y\'s" has exceeded 600,000 copies, and the gap between "Hunting Abyss" and it has also increased from 50,000 to 80,000." Jian Xiaomei forehead How did she become such a cartoonist when she grew up? There is no sense of crisis at all.
"Huh? It was pulled away again? Why?" Ye Hexu asked in surprise.
The sales volume of 250,000 copies in the first week was not bad, but after the first week, the sales of comics began to decline. As soon as April, the sales volume of "Hunting Abyss" was only 520,000.
In fact, not only "Hunting Abyss", even the sales of "Crime" has been in a slump for a long time. It has been on sale for almost four months, and it has never reached 650,000 copies, ranking 13th in the new book sales list.
"Y\'s" is not too high, sandwiched between "Hunting Abyss" and "Crime", sales have risen steadily, but as of last week, the single-book sales list was less than 600,000 copies.
Unlike "Hunting Abyss" and "Crime", the sales of "Y\'s" include two separate editions. That is to say, the potential of "Y\'s" is not as good as the other two, but from the current trend To judge, it is more stable than "Crime" and "Hunting Abyss".
"It has a lot to do with the release of radio dramas. Those readers who are attracted by "Radio Dramas" are likely to buy two booklets at once. Sales will increase even faster."
Ye Hexu nodded slightly, and suddenly laughed again.
"What's wrong?" Jian Xiaomei asked puzzled.
"Jian Xiaomei, do you know the marathon?" Ye Hexu smiled.
"Nonsense, don't you know?" Jian Xiao brows angrily.
"Then you should know that people who start running fast may not be able to laugh at the end. Champions are often followed in the beginning. The radio drama of Mr. Shen is really eye-catching, but don’t forget, "Hunting "Abyss" has an autumn season. The publicity effect of animation is far beyond that of radio dramas. What we need to do now is to quietly follow "Y\'s" and "Crime". After July, it will be. Our home court."
"Ye Teacher."
"Ok?"
"You also use your brain?" Jian Xiaomei hesitated.
"I just think this is fun."
Ye Hexu’s laughter reached Jian Xiaomei’s ears.
Jian Xiaomei took a deep breath, "Teacher Ye, "Y\'s" has begun to be promoted in the Hongchuan media. The third volume and the radio drama are on sale at the same time, and the release date is April 7."
"Oh, there are still more than two weeks. It seems that "NewWorld" is also determined this time and must push "Y\'s" up."
"More than that, the second volume of "Crimination" will also be released on April 7. The two separate comics will directly collide."
"Huh? Why do they have a good development and sales period?" Ye Hexu was a little surprised, but after a little thought, he thought of the reason.
The scores of "Crimination" on the "ComicFuture" questionnaire have always been among the best. If the opponent is "Legend of the Dragon King", "Crime" may shift the release period later, but its opponent is "Y\'s", but it is different.
Why should "Crimination" make way for "Y\'s"?
The intention of "NewWorld" is even more obvious. The release of radio dramas will allow the popularity of "Y\'s" to reach a peak in a short period of time, and may even be higher than the popularity of July, August, and September.
If you have such a popularity value and still cannot compete with "Criminal Punishment", then the probability of "Y\'s" winning the "Rookie Award" will be much smaller, and even more exaggerated, "Y\'s" 》May automatically give up the pursuit of the "Newcomer Award".
"Jian Xiaomei, can you ask the editorial department if "Hunting Abyss" will be released in April," Ye Hexu said.
"What do you want to do? Don't be foolish, there is no need to mix with them." Jian Xiaomei issued a warning.
"How is it possible? But Jian Xiaomei, you should know too. If the second volume of "The Hunting Abyss" is released in May, it means that there will be only two separate editions of "The Hunting Abyss" before July. You are sure to rely on only two. With the sales volume of the single book, "Hunting Abyss" can squeeze into the top ten of the newcomer sales list?
"Rather than knowing the truth, it's better to use the third volume of "Hunting Abyss" to have a duel with "Y\'s" and "Crimination" in June. Besides, waiting for the animation to be released will also drive the sales of the booklets. "
This guy...what does your brain think? The span is too big, right?
Jian Xiaomei immediately lowered her head to meditate ~lightnovelpub.net~ Three minutes later, she raised her head and said to Ye Hexu: "I know. I will mention your suggestion to the editor-in-chief, but it depends on whether the second volume will be released in April. The meaning of editor-in-chief and sales department."
"I see." Ye Hexu hung up and threw the phone to the middle-aged assistant.
June, hey, I really look forward to it, I don’t know if it will be a chaos.
The G pen was dipped in ink, and Ye Hexu's face became more smiling.
……
Almost at the same time, a young man in a white sweater was drawing at his desk in another working room in Hongchuan. The G pen in his hand was sliding smoothly along the pencil sketch.
Behind him, there are still three assistants lying on the workbench to paint.
Although there are four people in the entire studio, there is an indescribable depression, as if the air in the studio is thinner than outside, making people breathless.
"Ding Dong."
The doorbell rang, and the assistant who was near the door stood up instantly, walked to the door quickly, opened the door, and the refreshing air blew on his face, and he immediately became more energetic.
"Is Teacher Jumping still painting?" Standing at the door was a young man in a white suit and purple shirt.
"Yes, it's the same as before. When we left yesterday, the teacher was sitting there and painting. When we came, the teacher was still continuing. Brother Xu...Is the teacher's body really okay?" The assistant looked a little embarrassed. youth.
The young man in front of is named Xu Jie. After Jumping to take over "Crimination", he became the editor in charge of "Crimination".
"I see. I'll talk to him." Xu Jie patted the assistant on the shoulder and walked into the studio.
