Chapter 213: The Editor-in-Chief’s Decision

300,000 volumes? Complete the reprint within a week?

If the reprint requirement is based on a 50% sales rate, then 150,000 copies must be sold within a week, which is not easy for "Soul of Chess", which only publishes a single volume.

It is true that Shen Xin is the "Rookie King", but the comic festival has been held for a total of 16 sessions, which means that there are already 16 cartoonists who have won the Newcomer Award, but these cartoonists rarely become pillars like Wang Yunze.

What's more, "ic future" is not the magazine where Shen Xin became famous, that is to say, he wants to gather popularity in "ic future" again.

It's not that Shen Xin is not strong, Shen Xin also needs time.

300,000 volumes a week is not easy for Shen Xin, especially the sluggish performance of "Soul of Chess", which is even more worrying.

If one step is too big and fails to achieve the desired results, the leadership above will definitely be held accountable. After that, it will not be easy for "Soul of Chess" to have more than 300,000 copies.

"Mr. Shang, I suggest... no, is it too much?" Wang Wenhong was a little confused.

These words were originally said by other editors in charge, but now...at least at this moment, Wang Wenhong still dare not be too aggressive until he finds out the reason for the decline in the performance of "Soul of Chess".

"What are you thinking? As the editor in charge of "Soul of Chess", why don't you even have this little confidence? 300,000 volumes...not a lot."

There are not many God TMs, and the single volumes of some comics may not be able to sell 300,000 copies until they are out of print.

The editors in the editorial department have black lines.

"Of course I have confidence." Wang Wenhong also went all out, and said bravely, "Isn't it just 300,000 copies?"

The other editors looked at Wang Wenhong in surprise, did they really dare to say this?

"That's terrible?" Shang Haozhi glared at Wang Wenhong, "There are still two weeks before the release of the first volume of the booklet...Two weeks can change many things. Let's see this time."

"Ah?" Wang Wenhong didn't quite understand.

Shang Haozhi said angrily: "You don't think that in the past few years, Huaxia Go will only lose this time, right? I tell you clearly, it is impossible, and will lose many times in the future. Don't tell me that every time you lose a Go champion, "Go Soul" "Will there be a big ups and downs in the ranking? We are not playing a roller coaster.

"The plot of "Soul of Chess" is fine, and "Soul of Chess" cannot be allowed to 'pay' for the player's loss. This time, no matter what, "Soul of Chess" should be released. Not to fall too much.

"You don't have to worry about the booklet. The sales department is responsible for the sales of "Soul of Chess". When I came back, they were in contact with major bookstores in China to try their best to win the support of bookstores. You asked Mr. Shen to draw two promotional coloring pages. Don't tell Mr. Shen the results of "Soul of Chess" within a certain period of time, lest he worry."

"I know." Wang Wenhong nodded.

When the other editors heard this, they also relaxed a little.

Hook leaned back in his chair, glanced at the screen in front of him, and finally relaxed a little in his heart.

"By the way, "manga fly" has just introduced a manga from District 11 called "Slam Dunk". The author is Wang Yuchuanyao, a newcomer from District 11 last year. He must have no talent. Not long ago, I met Qiu Gongyu Old gentleman, he said that Yuan Zhe originally wanted to introduce the author's upper comics, and he was still busy with it in District 11 during the Chinese New Year.

However, at that time, that manga had just ended. The editor-in-chief of "leap" recommended this one.

"Yuchuan's first comic is called "Sledgeman", which is also a niche sports comic, but he won the newcomer award relying on that comic. There is no doubt about his strength, a word - strong. Of course, Mr. Shen and Yuchuan have no competition relationship, but there is competition between our magazine and "manga fly". So, everyone, pay attention to this comic, and don't be fooled by "Slam Dunk."

Shang Haozhi threw the magazine under his arm to Jia Hui, "Take time to read it."

Wang Wenhong sat down slowly. Although Shang Haozhi said that the propaganda department would be in charge of the sales of "Soul of Chess", he was still a little worried. Even with the help of the sales department, it would not be easy to complete this matter.

After get off work, Wang Wenhong first went to Jiman, bought a copy of "manga fly", and read "Slam Dunk" on the way to Shen Xin's studio.

The first chapter of comics is mostly to explain the background, and this step is also the same.

The protagonist studied abroad in the United States when he was a child. In middle school, he and his friends won the national basketball championship for junior high school students. After entering high school, the protagonist and his friends parted ways. The other students entered the same high school, with the goal of dominating the country and completing the three consecutive high school championships. The protagonist, however, came to a famous basketball school in the next county because of his mother's work.

Because it is a famous basketball school, the teammates have doubts about the protagonist's strength, so the protagonist proposes to challenge the head star of the team, and ends up beating the opponent.

After watching the first episode, Wang Wenhong's first impression was "fast" and "cool"!

This kind of "fast" refers specifically to "rhythm"; "cool" refers to the reader's mood after reading this episode.

In the first episode, Tamagawa Haruka not only fully introduced the background of the protagonist, but more importantly, the protagonist publicly "executed" the leading star in the first episode, which immediately raised the atmosphere of the comic.

Wang Wenhong immediately had a sense of anticipation for "slam dunk".

Few domestic cartoonists dare to use such a fast pace. If they are not capable enough, they will be exhausted in the later stage, and the subsequent plots will easily collapse.

Considering that Tamagawa Haruka is the rookie king of District 11, and the upper part is also a manga related to sports, generally speaking, the control of this manga should not be bad.

Up to now, "Soul of Chess" is still stable and stable, and there has not been a big climax. Compared with "Slam Dunk", the rhythm is indeed a bit slow. No wonder some people say that "Soul of Chess" is not "burning" enough.

Wang Wenhong was preoccupied and knocked on the door of the studio.

"Is Teacher Shen there?"

"Upstairs." Ma Ning closed the door and pointed to the second floor.

Wang Wenhong greeted Gao Hang, then went upstairs, and saw Shen Xin lying on the table painting at a glance, with manuscript paper spilled all over the floor.

He walked over quietly and picked up the A4 paper on the ground, which was filled with characters from "Soul of Chess". Besides, there were a lot of backgrounds, including schools, dojos, chess clubs...

Wang Wenhong picked up the straw paper and tidied it up. Before he could stand up, he suddenly heard a "bang", and hundreds of pages of straw paper were scattered on the ground. He could only pick up these manuscript papers again.

Page after page, each page is filled with characters and backgrounds.

The g pen was inserted into the ink bottle, and the tip of the pen touched the bottom of the bottle, making a crisp sound.

Wang Wenhong quickly packed up the waste paper, took out a bottle of ink from the cabinet by the wall, and put it on Shen Xin's workbench.

Shen Xin was about to dip in the ink, but suddenly found that there was an extra ink bottle, so she raised her head and saw Wang Wenhong standing in front of him.

"When did you come?"

"Just here. Teacher Shen, pay attention to your body."

Shen Xin nodded, her eyes fell on Wang Wenhong's face, "Thank you... I see you are a little anxious, what's the matter?"

"Uh... yes. Do you know this issue of the magazine?" Wang Wenhong took out "manga fly".

"Oh, I've seen it. There is a cartoon called "Slam Dunk", which is interesting." Shen Xin twisted her neck, stretched her muscles and bones, and smiled lightly on her face.
