Chapter 536: The Age of Punishing Gods
? Yuan Zhe guarded the computer and never left the computer screen for a moment.
In particular, every time the popularity value behind "Steel Refining" jumped, he felt nervous inside.
Due to the delay in the data, the value changes irregularly. Sometimes it changes every 10 minutes, sometimes it changes every half an hour, but every time it changes, the gap between "Forged Steel" and "Age of the Gods" narrows once.
Qian Sheng walked to Yuan Zhe's desk, "Mr. Wang said, we will update three chapters today. There is no fourth chapter."
"But... in this situation, if only three episodes are updated... the number one position will be very dangerous." Yuan Zhe was a little worried.
"But what Mr. Wang said is also reasonable. The popularity of "Smelting Steel" and "Age of the Gods" is only a fraction of a percent, and they will be surpassed in a blink of an eye. Even if it is updated, "Age of the Gods" may not be able to surpass "Age of the Gods" "Steel Refining"."
Yuan Zhe rubbed his forehead, "How can you do it if you don't try?"
"If it fails, Mr. Wang's follow-up updates will be disrupted, and Mr. Wang's manuscripts are limited." Qian Sheng reminded.
Yuan Zhe was dumbfounded.
Drawing manga is not writing, you can only create one chapter a week.
If there is another update, it is likely to disrupt Wang Yunze's follow-up update plan.
"If that's the case... why don't you try again? There's still more than an hour... I've changed this story, I just need to change it on the third day..."
"However, even if you get the first place on the first day, you will be pulled down on the second day...it's not good for the reputation of "Age of the Gods." Qian Sheng was a little conflicted.
Yuan Zhe opened his mouth and sighed helplessly.
What Qian Sheng said was correct, if the first place result could not be stabilized, but was overtaken again after a few hours, then the first place was not very important to "Age of the Gods".
"Shen Zheng...Shen Zheng!" Yuan Zhe muttered to himself, rubbing his forehead.
He was really angry, especially when he thought that Tong Yu had two chances to invite Shen Zheng, but was wasted by Tong Yu, and he was even more angry.
10,000 yuan per page, how can Tong Yu export this price?
This guy……
Otherwise, if Shen Zheng is roaming the Internet, where would such crap happen!
"I see... wait a minute,
Let me talk to President Tong. "Yuan Zhe held back his anger, and after Qian Sheng left, he stood up, picked up his phone and walked out of the editorial office.
Entering the smoking room, Yuan Zhe first opened the Manjia.com app, browsed through the news, and suddenly saw a piece of news - "Steel Refining: The Journey of Two" will be released in April next year.
He quickly opened the message, but saw that it was news from District 11. Orochi tweeted that "Steel Refining: The Journey of Two" will be released in April next year, telling the story of Yao Lin and Zhang Mei in Xingguo. Created by the original crew of "Smelting Steel" animation!
It was only ten minutes after the news was released, and there were already hundreds of comments below.
"This episode is not mentioned in "Smelting Steel" at all."
"It's original! Did you see it? Su Han and Xi Yang wrote it."
Xiyang was originally Xi Muhan's pen name for Shen Xin, but Shen Xin didn't use it, so she took it and used it.
"Who is Xiyang?"
"The author of "The Way of the Country"."
"Her? The two of them are also very powerful families. I don't know if they can create high-quality scripts."
"High quality is possible, but it is impossible to surpass the original."
"That's right. Today's serialization has raised the standard of the entire "Steel Refining"."
When Yuan Zhe saw this news, his head was really big. Needless to say, the popularity of "Steel Refining" will continue to increase.
He also read the comments of "Smelting Steel" and "Age of the Gods", and the number of related posts between the two was almost the same. However, most of the posts in "Age of the Gods" are report posts, and there are also some posts discussing the plot. "Steel Refining" is not the case.
This is the participation and stickiness of the work.
Yuan Zhe glanced at it twice, but he still analyzed it logically.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhe knew that the popularity of "Steel Refining" has already risen and will not go down.
"Age of the Gods"? I'm afraid it is the "era of killing gods", right?
It is almost a foregone conclusion that Shen Zheng will rise to the top position by virtue of "Steel Refining".
Just as Yuan Zhe had guessed, when he checked the rankings again, "Steel Refining" returned to the top of the rankings after 23 hours.
The biggest gap between the two books is 500,000 people, but so what? After the serialization of the new issue of "Steel Refining", the popularity rose sharply.
"Gods", it's a foregone conclusion!
Yuan Zhe hesitated again and again, but still called Tong Yu.
"Mr. Tong, "Age of the Gods" has been surpassed by "Steel Refined"!" Yuan Zhe held his breath in his heart, and went straight to the point.
There was silence on the phone, and it took about two or three minutes before Tong Yu's voice came out of the microphone.
"You mean...we invested in so many advertisements, invited so many people, made such a big splash, it's free, it's an app, and we even asked Mr. Wang to update 3 episodes a day... just like that, we didn't win Passed "Smelting Steel"?"
Tong Yu's tone was full of disbelief.
"That's it." Yuan Zhe said in a deep voice.
There was another silence on the phone.
Yuan Zhe couldn't bear it, and asked, "What should we do now?"
"I want to hear your opinion."
"Let's take a look at the gap between "Age of the Gods" and "Steel Refining". Now the plot of "Steel Refining" has reached its climax, and the popularity should drop in the future. "Age of Gods" has a chance to surpass "Steel Refining". , "Age of the Gods" will have two more chapters to be updated in the next week, let's see if "Age of the Gods" has a chance to surpass "Forged Steel."
"It's the only way to do it now."
"Also, in the future, if you really want to discuss cooperation with Teacher Shen, please don't lower the price than Teacher Wang."
"He has no qualifications..."
"But he is too young, isn't he? This is too scary, who knows where he will reach in the future?" Yuan Zhe asked rhetorically.
"...Wait and see? If there is an opportunity to cooperate, I will consider it."
Tong Yu was also a little aggrieved. He thought he had done his best, but the result was not satisfactory.
After thinking about it, he got out of bed, took his notebook, and read the discussions on various forums.
Without exception, they are all talking about the things that "Smelting Steel" surpasses "Age of the Gods".
"Did you see it? "Age of the Gods" has been surpassed, and there are still dozens of minutes left, and the gap between the two comics is gradually widening."
"Is there a roller coaster? "Smelting Steel" was tens of thousands ahead of "Age of the Gods" in the early morning, and after "Age of the Gods" was released, it overtook it. Afterwards, the gap between the two comics reached 500,000. However, with the With the release of the latest chapter of "Steel Refining", the popularity is rapidly shrinking, and it is now ahead..."
"I can't help it. The words 'Guideposts of the Soul' are too shocking. There is a lot of content and there is no nonsense."
"Have you noticed that the title of Mr. Wang's new book is also very interesting, "Age of the Gods", which means something like "The Age of Gods", Mr. Shen should be in charge, right?"
"This time is a fair competition between two people, and "Smelting Steel" is firmly ahead of "Age of the Gods". Don't use Teacher Wang to beat Teacher Shen. In terms of sales in the 11 districts, Teacher Shen is not only better than Teacher Wang, It is also much ahead of other cartoonists!"
"That's right, Mr. Shen has proved himself!"
Snapped!
Seeing this, Tong Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and closed the notebook angrily.
"The era of killing gods... the era of killing gods..."
Tong Yu muttered to himself, but he was helpless when he thought of the gap between the two comics.
