Chapter 83: Make up 1 knife
The first edition of "Y’s" is 100,000 copies.
The editor-in-chief of was extremely surprised when he received the report from the sales department.
The reaction of the zombie face is normal: "The sales volume of the first volume of "Y's" reached 230,000 copies. Even if the sales volume of the second volume is poor, it will not be less than 100,000 copies. Moreover, this is what the president meant. Judging from my experience, the second volume is likely to be reprinted."
The editor-in-chief of certainly believed in the zombie face, but he didn't expect that this "soon" would be the night of the third day.
"The market's sales rate has exceeded 60%, so another 100,000 copies will be added." Zombie Face notified the editor-in-chief.
"So fast?" The editor in chief was surprised.
"The bookstore outside Yunhai City has digested 30%." The zombie face said.
The editor-in-chief of opened his mouth slightly and his heart beat fast.
Bookstores outside the sea of clouds also sold 30,000 copies, which means that "Y’s" is gradually gaining attention from domestic readers.
"By the way, driven by the sale of the new book, the first volume decided to reprint another 20,000 copies."
Originally the first volume of "Y’s" had been decided to be recycled, but now suddenly the defendant was told to reprint it again, which made the editor-in-chief feel like he was dreaming.
"NewWorld" hasn't appeared in such a work for a long time. Wait... Is it really possible for "Y’s" to hit the "Rookie Award"?
If this is the case, then you have to plan well.
The editor-in-chief of rubbed his hands, and the excitement filled his face.
"By the way, what's the situation with "Toggle"?"
"I don't know, there is no official data. But according to the news from the bookstore, there is a gap between its single-day sales and "Y's". In addition, "Toggle" also has sales in China, but most of the sales are the first. Volume, and not as good as the first volume of "Y's."
"Oh."
The editor-in-chief of breathed a sigh of relief. There are still a few days before the early morning of February 1. If there are no accidents, Shen Xin's matchup should be stable.
...
Chen Zijiao has slept very poorly in recent days.
Originally, he wanted to go to the roaming bookstore to read Shen Xin's jokes on the day of the release of "Y's", but he was disappointed, and even a little uneasy and confused. The readers who came to buy "Y's" did not seem to be too many. Shen Xin signed consecutively. After six or seven hours, there are still readers in line?
By the way, at three or four in the afternoon, he couldn't wait any longer, so he ran back to the studio in a desperate manner.
He tried to calm down and draw the manuscript, but the picture he drew never achieved the desired effect.
Today's situation still hasn't improved. Before dawn, Chen Zijiao opened his eyes and lay on the blanket repeatedly unable to sleep. Finally, he put on his clothes and went to his studio to draw the line sketches that were not finished yesterday.
Because there is something in his mind, the G pen in his hand is not as "obedient" as usual. When applying the ink line, he even felt a sense of powerlessness.
In desperation, he put down the G pen, leaned on the back of the chair, and narrowed his eyes. Unconsciously, he was in a daze.
After an unknown period of time, the doorbell rang, and Chen Zijiao suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the alarm bell at the table, and realized that it was already 8 o'clock.
He opened the door, Ruan Ying bowed slightly, and then followed him into the studio.
"I haven't drawn the manuscript yet. Please clean it up first, and then I will give you the manuscript." Chen Zijiao said weakly.
Ruan Ying was taken aback for a moment and saw that Chen Zijiao was in a bad mood. Could it be because of the duel with Shen Xin?
Thinking of this, Ruan Ying is a little guilty. The fuse of this matchup was her and Qiao Yu's job-hopping. If she loses this matchup, then she will not be in a good situation.
"By the way, where is Qiao Yu? He usually comes very early." Chen Zijiao thought of Qiao Yu.
"Huh? He...didn't he tell you yesterday..."
"Yesterday? Oh... I remembered it. He said he won't come today, right? My spirits were not very good for the last two days, and I almost forgot about it."
After Ruan Ying and Qiao Yu arrived, he did not resign another assistant, Xiao Liu. Therefore, he currently has three assistants, but the other assistant is far away from here and arrives late every day.
Ruan Ying laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to answer the conversation.
At this time, the doorbell rang again, and Chen Zijiao turned around and asked, "It should be Xiao Liu."
"It is possible..." Ruan Ying opened the door, but saw Wang Wenhong standing outside, "Wang Bian, why are you here?"
"If you have something to ask Teacher Chen."
Seeing Wang Wenhong frowning, Ruan Ying didn't know why, but still gave him a way.
"Brother Wang, what can't you say on the phone?" Chen Zijiao asked.
"I can't explain it on the phone." Wang Wenhong took a second breath. "I have heard more accurate news from the managers of major bookstores and Yunhai's editorial circle. The total sales volume of "Toddler" has been changed by "Y's". Overtaken."
"So fast?" Chen Zijiao was a little unbelievable.
There are still three days before the early morning of February 1. Why was it overtaken so quickly?
"The sales volume of "Y's" in the domestic market continues to rise. The first volume has been reprinted with 20,000 copies. It is estimated that there may be reprints in the future, not to mention the second volume. Of course, its sales volume is definitely not better than that of "Sin". "Punishment", but the gap between "Tottering" and it, I am afraid it will become wider and wider."
Ruan Ying opened her mouth slightly when she heard Wang Wenhong's words, looked at Chen Zijiao, and then at Wang Wenhong, she only felt cold in her hands and feet.
Once "Toddler" loses the duel, it means that she can only work here for a month at most.
"How could this be?" Chen Zijiao's eyes were rounded, "Didn't you say that "Toggle" has risen to third place in the "Dreamer" questionnaire?"
Wang Wenhong sighed, "Yes, but you have to be clear that the second volume of "Toggle" does not contain what you are drawing now. What's more, "Y's" has been the first place in the "NewWorld" questionnaire in recent months. There is a gap in the quality of the one-line version of the two comics."
"Then why did you even let me fight "Y’s"?" Chen Zijiao's face flushed, a little mad.
"Since you started to put aside Su Han's text, the gap between "Toggle" and "Y's" has gradually widened, can't you see it? Not only that, even in "Dreamer", "Toggle" is ranked Gradually reduce. If you don't fight this one, you won't have a chance at all." Wang Wenhong said. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com
"Then...what should I do now?" Chen Zijiao was panicked.
"The only thing that can be done is to call readers to buy the booklet of "Toggle" on Weibo." Wang Wenhong gritted his teeth, this is undoubtedly Chen Zijiao's last hope.
Chen Zijiao was silent, turned and walked towards the studio.
"By the way, Qiao Yu hasn't come yet?" Wang Wenhong remembered that Qiao Yu came early every day, but today, Qiao Yu's workbench is very clean.
"He has something to do today, I will let him rest for a day." Chen Zijiao opened the door of the studio and said casually.
Ruan Ying raised her hand quietly, "Wang, in fact, Qiao Yu's meaning should not be'not coming today', but'not coming from today'."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Wang Wenhong said in surprise.
Chen Zijiao also stopped, turned his head, and looked at Ruan Ying in shock.
Is this what Qiao Yu said yesterday?
It is possible, after all, he is in a daze, he may have heard it wrong, but...but why is he so aggrieved in his heart?
Ruan Ying smiled awkwardly, "That is to say, he quit his job."
quit...
"He offended Shen Xin, and now he has done it again, does he still want to hang out in the sea of clouds?" Chen Zijiao roared.
"He is going to Hongchuan to make a trip...it seems to be today's ticket." Ruan Ying said.
"What about the salary? Haven't the wages paid this week?" Wang Wenhong asked.
Ruan Ying scratched her head, with mixed feelings in her heart, "Ms. Shen Tuoyan not long ago gave him 20,000 yuan as a single book reward, so I shouldn't be short of money recently."
Chen Zijiao opened his mouth slightly and was speechless for a long time.
Wang Wenhong slapped his hands helplessly. Now he finally knows what Shen Xin was feeling at that time.
