Chapter 482: Winning No. 1 Again
.. , my manga artist strategy
With the help of previous popularity, "Smelting Steel" undisputedly won the first place in the hot list.
The people in the editorial department had expected this result a long time ago, and now the list they are paying attention to is the little book of "comic future".
There are different opinions in the editorial department as to who will win the first place in the small book.
As the editor in charge of "Hunting Abyss", Jian Xiaomei definitely supports Ye Hexu.
The 40-page manuscript, plus the front color page, adds a lot to a manga. Of course, if it was a week or two earlier, she was not sure that "Hunting Abyss" would win, because that was when the plot of "Smelting Steel" was at its most intense.
Now that the little boss Rast of "Smelting Steel" has been defeated, the plot of this episode is much more flat and the rhythm is slower.
Under the ebb and flow, "Hunting Abyss" should have more advantages.
More importantly, "Smelting Steel" has completed its historical mission. Next, "Hunting Abyss" should carry the banner of "comic future".
Jian Xiaomei is not the only one who has this kind of thinking, Jia Hui, Xu Jie, Zhou Xiaoming and others all have this kind of thinking.
Wang Wenhong also thought so at first, but not long ago, Shen Xin said that even in January, he will strive for the first place in the double list.
This has a saying.
Of course, Wang Wenhong must support Shen Xin unconditionally, and after the sales of the volume 9 of "Steel Refining", Wang Wenhong also has expectations for "Steel Refining".
Unknowingly, there was a tense atmosphere in the editorial department, and this atmosphere became more and more obvious as the result of the small book approached. Even Shang Haozhi noticed something was wrong, but he couldn't see the clue , I can only think that I am overthinking.
Also, last year, one after another bad things happened, which made me suspicious.
At the beginning of this year, Shen Xin made a good start with "Steel Refining", so whether "comic future" should be very good or not.
Xiaoshu's email was sent to everyone's mailboxes, and Wang Wenhong and Jian Xiaomei clicked on Xiaoshu almost at the same time.
All eyes were on the first place in the little book, and the expressions of the two people were very different.
""Steel Refining"!? Isn't the rhythm of this episode relatively slow?" Xu Jie saw the ranking,
Confused.
"Um?"
Xu Jie's words attracted the attention of others.
"Is Steel Refined still number one?" Zhou Xiaoming asked hastily.
"Don't you have mail?" Xu Jie asked angrily.
Zhou Xiaoming scratched his head twice, smiled, moved his gaze to his own display screen, and then turned on the screen.
Shang Haozhi glanced suspiciously at the other editors.
Wang Wenhong showed joy, but pretended to be calm, Jian Xiaomei frowned slightly, and kept silent, guessing the ranking.
"Smelting Steel" is still the first place? Could it be influenced by the monograph?
There should be this possibility. I don't know if the ranking of "Steel Refining" will rise next week.
Shang Haozhi stroked his mustache, thinking to himself.
At this moment, the mobile phone on the table suddenly lit up.
Shang Haozhi looked down and saw that it was a text message from Bao Jiyi.
"Send your proposal to my email."
Finally about to commit?
Shang Haozhi was a little nervous all of a sudden, and while comforting himself, he found out the plan for making an app and sent it to Bao Jiyi's mailbox.
Hope to have a good result.
Shang Haozhi is full of expectations.
...
Shen Xin stretched her arms, picked up the coffee that Xi Muhan had just brought, stood up from her seat, and walked to the fence, where three assistants were working intensely.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone must come up with something within a month, so everyone is very enthusiastic, after all, it is related to whether they can go home early for the New Year.
Shen Xin glanced back at Xi Muhan, but saw that she was sitting on the seat reading the recipe, and felt curious: "What are you doing? Isn't there an aunt at home who is cooking?"
"Brother, guess what I thought of?" Xi Muhan looked up at Shen Xin.
Shen Xin shook her head.
He and Xi Muhan haven't reached the point where they have a good understanding.
"Brother Xin, I want to create a food comic."
"Ah?" Shen Xin's eyelids twitched, "You? Are you okay?"
"Read more books, read more recipes. Of course, the more important thing is the rhythm of the boy manga... I am still a little weak in this area, so I want to improve it."
"Just reading books is not enough. For example, the same ingredients can make different meals, and different regions also have dishes that match their lives. What molecular cuisine, what seafood cuisine... These things are so messy." Shen Xin shook her head.
"Huh? Brother Xin, don't you know nothing about cooking? How do you even know about molecular cuisine?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin in surprise.
"Uh..." Shen Xin also found herself talking too much.
He can't say it's the content of "Spirit of Halberd Eater", can he?
"That..." Shen Xin took another sip of coffee, "I read a food cartoon about District 11 a long time ago, so I know something about it. If you want to eat, I can also show you my tricks."
"Brother Xin...I still want to live for two more years." Xi Muhan looked pitiful.
"..."
Shen Xin suddenly realized that he and Xiaohan had nothing to talk about.
"By the way, if you create food comics, where will you serialize them?" Shen Xin asked curiously.
""Comic Future"?" Xi Muhan raised his head, "After all, "Comic Future" is the best juvenile comic magazine in China."
"Which cartoonist do you work with? Is there any contact? Or, let me find it for you?"
Xi Muhan doesn't know any cartoonists, so it might be a little troublesome, so it's better to let Brother Wang ask.
"Connected."
"Ah?" Shen Xin blinked her eyes and looked at Xi Muhan in surprise, "You...know a cartoonist?"
"Sister Lu, why did you forget her?" Xi Muhan asked back.
Shen Xin rubbed her head, he really forgot about Lu Ning, "Isn't she serialized in "Girls' Century"?"
""Guotu" is almost over. The contract that Sister Lu signed has no exclusive agreement." Xi Muhan blinked at Shen Xin, "This is different from "Comic Future"."
"Not every milk is called... ahem, not every magazine is "comic future"." Shen Xin can only explain in this way, "Also, the requirements of each magazine are not the same."
The two were chatting when Shen Xin's cell phone on the table rang.
He turned around and picked up the phone, and saw that it was Wang Wenhong's call.
"Congratulations, Little Book is number one!"
As soon as the call was connected, Wang Wenhong's excited voice came from the phone.
"Yeah?"
Shen Xin was taken aback for a moment, it was beyond his expectation to get the first place.
"Hunting Abyss" returns strongly, and the rhythm is also very tense. On the other hand, "Steel Forged", after the end of the war, the rhythm of the story slowed down a little, and the "Western Sage (Part 1)" is full of transitional plots.
With such a remark, it was a bit surprising that he could still get the first place.
Shen Xin suddenly had a premonition that the performance of "Steel Refining" in "Comic Future" should be very good.
