My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 127: Dissatisfied
"what?"
Shen Xin was taken aback for a moment, but after a little contemplation, he understood the reason-the reader's participation.
When readers have the right to participate, they will have a sense of belonging to the comics, and the stickiness of "Y\'s" will be higher.
"What are you going to do?" Shen Xin also became interested.
"If 500,000 copies of the single line can instinctively send 300,000 survey papers, then the recording of the third season of the radio drama will be started, otherwise it will not be recorded."
"But... what if you can't send 300,000 copies?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.
After all, voting is a hassle.
"Young man, drawing comics, you are an expert, but you don't understand the operation. The sales data of the single book is real, after all, there are costs here. However, the number of questionnaires may be imaginary." Song Tai Said meaningfully.
Shen Xin understood in an instant that as long as the sales volume of the pamphlet is good, whether or not it receives 300,000 tickets, it will eventually become 300,000. After all, it's almost the same as swiping tickets, except that this time it was not Shen Xin swiping tickets, but the magazine "swiping tickets" for Shen Xin.
"That's OK?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.
Song Tai did not speak, but nodded silently.
Soon, Shen Xin was relieved.
What readers want is radio dramas, and what Shen Xin wants is the sales and popularity of the single book. As for the president, he also wants the future of "NewWorld".
To some extent, everyone takes what they need. This should be the most ideal result.
"Besides, there is one more thing to discuss with you." Song Tai said.
Senior sister's matter?
Shen Xin's expression tightened, and he quickly looked at Song Tai.
"It's an autograph book sale event. In addition to the 8,000 autographed books ordered online, I also hope you can visit Hongchuan. We are now contacting the largest comic book store in Hongchuan-Jiman Bookstore-to strive for Start there again. If possible, I hope you can cooperate."
"Hongchuan?" Shen Xin looked at Song Tai in surprise.
"That's right. This is the first time that a cartoonist from our magazine has signed a book in Hongchuan, so it may take a long time for the talks." Song Tai said.
This is the first time Song Tai has expressed his ambition to enter the domestic market.
Shen Xin thought a little, then nodded, this is a win-win cooperation, he doesn't need to go.
Considering the distance between the sea of clouds and Hongchuan, this trip will take at least three days, and the manuscript must be drawn in advance.
"By the way, there is also the promotion of senior sister. Can we talk about it?" Shen Xin asked.
"You... Mr. Shen, can you still choose to be in "NewWorld" for the next book? If possible, I hope to sign another contract. Of course, the manuscript fee will continue to increase, and we can also do things like royalties. Talk." Song Tai took a deep breath and looked at Shen Xin nervously.
As expected...
Shen Xin frowned, Song Tai's meaning and obvious, if he agrees, it is estimated that he will sign the contract for the next comic today, which is not what he wants.
After a long period of thought, Shen Xin looked up at Song Tai.
"President, I don't want to lie to you, and I know that you paid a lot for "Y’s". But... Unfortunately, we only have one book."
Song Tai's eyes widened, and his expression immediately became tired.
"Then you...... When will "Y\'s" end?" Song Tai continued to ask.
"It's more than a year."
The entire manga has 15 volumes, and now only 3 volumes have been published.
Of course, the premise is that there are no accidents.
"In other words, less than a hundred words?" Song Tai asked.
"It should be." Shen Xin said.
"I see... The publicity mentioned by Miss Ji, I hope it can be used in more critical places. Best, this publicity can help the magazine again. I hope you can understand my difficulties. If you leave, I must find another successor." Song Tai hesitated.
Huh... it really didn't work.
There is an indescribable frustration in Shen Xin's heart.
The two sides have different positions and their choices will be different. There is nothing to say.
"However, other than that, if you have any needs, I will try my best to meet them." Song Tai promised.
"President, in the third quarter, how much support can you provide at most?" Shen Xin was not in the mood to circle with Song Tai anymore and asked directly.
"Five hundred thousand yuan. In addition to radio dramas, I can also provide five hundred thousand yuan in cash support."
"In other words, from now to the end of September, I can use up to 500,000 cash?" Shen Xin asked.
"In addition, there are some activities, such as signing a book. Or, if you have any good suggestions, we can also discuss." Song Tai said quickly.
Five hundred thousand cash is not too much, but not too much. In the face of "Crime", "Hunting Abyss" and other competitors, this money should not be enough.
After all, the financial resources of "NewWorld" are not enough.
"At that time, I will ask the president for more help." Shen Xin got up, bowed slightly, and left the office.
Yan Fei stood at the door waiting for Shen Xin, and when she saw Shen Xin coming out of the president's office, she quickly walked over.
"How is it?" Yan Fei asked.
"How do you say? I have a showdown with the president." Shen Xin went straight to the elevator.
Yan Fei followed closely, "What did you say?"
"I made it clear that the next book will not be serialized on "NewWorld". The president provides 500,000 in cash, and the radio stills will be released."
"500,000? From now to October? Not enough?" Yan Fei asked in surprise ~lightnovelpub.net~hush, keep it quiet, this is still a magazine. Don't be heard. "Shen Xin reminded.
"What's the matter when I heard it? Isn't this the truth?" Yan Fei said irritably.
Shen Xin shrugged, "I guess he is also very angry, right? After all, my choice did not meet his expectations."
Yan Fei said nothing.
Magazine knows that since Shen Xin no longer wants to sign a book contract with "NewWorld", it also means that the cooperation between the two parties has only been in the last one or two years.
Moreover, even if the magazine works hard, Shen Xin is unlikely to win the "Rookie Award".
The first 15 "Newcomer Awards" were divided among the three major journals, and this time it should be the same.
Instead of putting all the weights on the "Newcomer Award", it is better to take a step back and beat the reputation of "NewWorld" first.
"Maybe, after a while, will there be room for maneuver?" Yan Fei explained.
"Then who knows? Even if there is, we can only negotiate after the fourth volume is released." Shen Xinnu said.
Today’s negotiation is just a test of the bottom line of both parties. As for whether there is room for reversal in the follow-up, that can only be said later.
"Then what should I do now?" Yan Fei asked in surprise.
"Cold." Shen Xin entered the elevator, and Yan Fei also followed in.
"Are you not going back to the editorial department?"
"In this situation, how can I return to the editorial department?" Yan Fei frowned.
"It's useless for you to worry now. Take your time, maybe when you think of an interesting idea?" Shen Xin smiled.
Yan Fei listened to Shen Xin's words and shook her head helplessly, "I hope so, right?"
