Chapter 120: Sale

Holding the D-pen, Gao Hang resisted the restlessness in his heart and tried to draw the background with a normal heart. However……

He really can't do it.

Today is the first day of "Y's". Previously, the magazine had invested a lot of money, recorded a radio drama, and made a lot of publicity in Hongchuan, which has the strongest comic atmosphere in China. Even just two days ago, Manjia.com uploaded The interviews with the four main voice actors and the light novelist "Lonely Watching the Rain" can be described as full of momentum.

However, as much honor as you have, you have to bear as much pressure.

Before "Y's", it was just playing around and developing secretly in the sea of ​​clouds. But this time, "Y's" really entered the domestic market.

In order to attract domestic readers, the magazine even gave up Yunhai's book signing.

If such a large-scale publicity can only sell more than 100,000 to 200,000 copies, the brand of "Y's" will really be ruined.

Gao Hang became Shen Xin's assistant during the most difficult time of "Y's", and accompanied Shen Xin through that unforgettable time. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that "Y's" would be a hit. But the more he cared, the more nervous he became, and the D-pen in his hand became less obedient.

He let out a long breath, put down the D-pen, got up and got a cup of hot water. When putting the teacup on the table, water was almost spilled on the workbench.

"Don't put the cup on the table, what if the drawing is dirty?" Lu Ning, who was sitting opposite Gao Hang, gave him a dissatisfied look.

"Sorry, I forgot." Gao Hang rubbed his hands on his pants again, but he didn't intend to pick up the cup.

"Teacher Gao looks very nervous." Zhou Yang said puzzled.

"Can you not be nervous? Don't forget, "Punishment" is also released today. It's okay if the release date is staggered, and now it may be used for comparison." Gao Hang said anxiously, "Once the gap is too big, "Y's" He and Teacher Shen will definitely become the target of public criticism."

Gao Hang shook his head again and again, that kind of pressure is not something anyone can bear.

"Mr. Gao, you can't do this. Girls don't like boys who are not confident." Zhou Yang said.

"Eh? Really?"

Hearing what Zhou Yang said, Gao Hang's heart tightened.

Although he knew that Zhou Yang was a real boy, every time he saw Zhou Yang, he would regard Zhou Yang as a girl.

He didn't believe that he would be beaten, but since Zhou Yang was sitting next to him, he would be more or less affected.

When Zhou Yang said this, he subconsciously thought that this was the girl's true thoughts.

"That's right? If you don't believe me, ask Sister Lu if she likes Teacher Shen more." Zhou Yang said in a low voice.

"Huh?"

Gao Hang was taken aback for a moment, but the next moment he really looked at Lu Ning.

"Stinky boy, are you going to die?" Lu Ning blushed slightly, glared at Zhou Yang angrily, and scolded in a low voice, "I want to know what girls think, so tell me, and I will buy you some women's clothes."

Zhou Yang shook his head again and again, joking, do you still have more women's clothing at home? Definitely can't accept it anymore.

"You three... If you really can't calm down, why don't you go back first?" Shen Xin who had been lowering her head to paint suddenly raised her head and looked at the three assistants.

"Eh? Teacher Shen, aren't you nervous?" Gao Hang asked in surprise.

"How can you not be nervous?"

Shen Xin took out a tissue, wiped her hands, and glanced at the wastebasket again. Today, several pages of manuscript paper were wasted. When inking the ink line, some brushes are retracted, and redundant lines will be left inadvertently.

This is impossible in normal times.

"But we have all tried our best. Even if the results are not satisfactory, we have tried our best." Shen Xin wanted to try to be relaxed, but deep down, she also felt a kind of fatigue.

During this period of time, he has done his best, and all that remains is to see the market's reaction.

If we say that Shen Xin's studio is in a kind of quietness that implies anxiety, then,

"New World" magazine is another scene.

A large number of phone calls were made to the editorial department, ordering the signed version of the third volume of "Y's", but the editorial department is not responsible for the sales of comics, and the magazine has also issued an announcement on the official Weibo and Manjia.com, and the signed version of the comics is only available. Can be purchased on the official website.

Despite this, many readers still called the editorial department.

"Hello, is it New World magazine?"

Li Jiming just got on the phone and asked directly about the convenience.

If it is normal, Li Jiming will definitely answer "yes".

For ordinary readers, the editorial department is a bridge between readers and works, so in the eyes of ordinary readers, the editorial department is equivalent to a magazine.

But today is different. The reason why many readers call is not for the cartoonist or the work itself, but to buy books.

"That... this is the editorial department, if you want to buy books..."

"That's right, I just want to buy books, the third volume signed by Mr. Shen. Do you want to mail the money to you?"

The other party interrupted Li Jiming and asked directly.

"Sir, please go to the official website of "New World" to buy. We don't sell comics here." Li Jiming said patiently.

"You don't sell comics, what kind of magazine do you run? Just go bankrupt."

Before Li Jiming could explain, the other party hung up the phone directly.

"..."

Li Jiming had the urge to scold people, he said that this is the editorial department, not in charge of book sales, and he called here, it was really pissed off.

When Xiaoli saw Li Jiming who was angry but didn't show his anger, she didn't feel gloating, but empathized with him. Li Jiming was not the only one who received this kind of treatment.

There are only two people in the entire editorial department who can keep calm. One is Yan Fei. Whenever she receives a call, she will patiently tell the other party how to buy "Y's"; He doesn't care, he only cares about one question, how much will the total sales of "Y's" be.

Due to the many "harassing phone calls", the work progress of the editorial department has slowed down a lot.

The deputy editor walked into the magazine office and sent the reader questionnaire statistics to the editor who didn't ask.

In fact, the editors have already guessed the ranking, the first place must be "Y's", which has not been changed for several months; the second place is changed back and forth, but there are only two or three comics.

Rarely will new authors and new manga appear again.

"Ms. Zhou Yang's short comic "Ghost Possibility Front Edge" is ranked first in the short comic list. Xiaoli, Teacher Zhou's grades are very good, and we must continue to work hard." The deputy editor said to Xiaoli.

"Well, I'll tell him." Xiaoli nodded quickly.

"When is the next short story?" the deputy editor asked.

"After he finished drawing the name, he had to hand it over to Mr. Shen for comment and then make revisions, so the progress will be slower. And in April, Mr. Shen is busy, so the next short story may be delayed for a while. "Lily explained.

The deputy editor-in-chief nodded slightly, then turned to the editor-in-chief, "Brother Zhang, how is "Y's" going?"

"I don't know, I'm still waiting for news from the sales department." The editor-in-chief shook his head.

Yan Fei also clacked her fingers uneasily, feeling a little anxious in her heart.

"Sister Yan, "Y's" has only been released for two hours, don't worry too much." Xiaoli comforted in a low voice.

Yan Fei nodded her head lightly and remained silent.

At this moment, Zombieface quickly walked into the editorial department, "Editor-in-Chief, all 2,000 signed comics have been sold. The rest of today's data will not come out until tomorrow morning."

Yan Fei's heart beat faster when he heard these words.

The official website started selling signed comics at 10 o'clock, and it is only 11:30 until now, and 2,000 copies have been sold in one and a half hours. This speed is not bad.

Yan Fei suddenly had confidence in the sales of "Y's".
