Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy Fourth Surprise and Wonder

Waking up from the trance, Shen Xin immediately walked to the fence and looked downstairs.

The three assistants also raised their heads in unison.

"Three, the 14th volume of "Steel Refining" broke 1 million copies in a single week." Shen Xin gave a thumbs up.

"Really?" Gao Hang opened his mouth wide.

Shen Xin nodded.

"marvelous!"

With a low growl, Gao Hang excitedly clapped hands with Hang Jian and Liu Rui.

This news made them happier than the salary increase.

As long as she works hard to do her job well, Shen Xin has never felt sorry for them in terms of salary, and the single book has exceeded one million... This kind of impact, if you don't experience it yourself, you can't feel it at all.

They become participants.

"Tonight, go out for dinner." Shen Xin said with a smile.

"Long live!"

Gao Hang raised his arms and shouted excitedly.

"Call Xiaohan, and Lu Ning too." Shen Xin originally wanted to invite Lu Ning and the others' assistants, but after careful consideration, she decided to forget it.

This kind of thing is more appropriate for "ic future". If someone inadvertently said it, it is estimated that the magazine will also feel very uncomfortable.

He's just a cartoonist, it's better to leave these matters to the magazine.

As for the invited people, they were all acquaintances, and Shen Xin knew them well, so it would be ok to talk to them when the time came.

The place to eat is a time-honored Hunan cuisine restaurant, but for Shen Xin, as long as it is a good restaurant, he can't even tell the difference between Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, since they are all spicy anyway.

All the people invited were present, except Yan Fei. Shen Xin asked the reason, and Wang Wenhong also brought Yan Fei's answer.

"The Lunar New Year Cup is about to begin. Yan Fei wants Zuo Yuan to win the award. In her words, from now on until Zuo Yuan successfully serializes... This is a one-way street for Zuo Yuan. Either succeed or Give up the comics."

Lu Ning and Xi Muhan looked at each other.

They are also newcomers, step by step, but both of them are extremely lucky to be able to successfully make a living from their works.

In fact, most of the cartoonists in this world are like Zuo Yuan. In front of them is the door called "serialization". They knock hard, but they can't knock it open.

At least, more than 95% of cartoonists are struggling for this, and those who can make a living from cartoons are even a minority of the minority.

"I think Sister Yan puts too much pressure on him." Shen Xin sighed, "It's not that it's not good to be serious, but from your evaluation of Zuo Yuan, it's basically certain that Teacher Zuo is a very serious person. But Sometimes there's not only one path to success."

"That's because Teacher Shen is not in the circle of grassroots cartoonists." Wang Wenhong said with a smile.

"Perhaps? But, 'big, there are big difficulties'. There are many readers of the work, and there must be more readers. Some readers are just for fun, and some readers really support the cartoonist. The discussion among readers should be the author. The happiest thing, because this makes this work have value and attention, but if there are too many audiences, there will be various voices.

"Sometimes, the author is also in a dilemma, especially when both sides are his own readers. When they have differences because of certain opinions, and thus quarrel or even insult, the author is in an awkward situation. Supporting a certain one will inevitably lead to Offend the other. With fewer readers, sometimes these troubles will be reduced, because readers are more likely to pay attention to the work, rather than the topics that lead to war.”

Wang Wenhong opened his mouth to refute, but felt that he was not in Shen Xin's place either, and he also didn't understand his troubles.

"Then you're saying that there's something wrong with Yan Fei's method?"

"Not necessarily. I'm a 'result-only theory'. If Sister Yan's method works, I'll use the results to speak. But one thing, Sister Yan is right. There are really not many opportunities left for Mr. Zuo."

Here, Shen Xin is paraphrasing what commentators said about the national football team. The fact is also true, a person's confidence cannot be exhausted endlessly.

"That...Brother Xin, the food will be cold soon."

Hearing that the two of them had no plans to have dinner, Xi Muhan could only remind Shen Xin.

"Oh... mine, mine." Shen Xin laughed dryly, and poured himself a glass of wine for the first time, "Everyone, "Steel Refining" broke one million in a single volume in a single week. It is inseparable from everyone's hard work. Please make persistent efforts." , Create brilliance together. Also, Xiaohan, Mr. Lu, you also have to work hard, I will wait for you!"

"come on!"

The 7 goblets collided together and made a crisp sound.

...

Early the next morning, the Weibo of "ic future" released the news that the 14th volume of "Steel Refining" broke one million copies in a single week, and the 11th district broke 500,000 copies in a single week. For a while, there was an uproar on the Internet.

"One million copies have been broken, it's so terrifying!"

"Steel Refining is too powerful, isn't it?"

"The sales have doubled, and the imagination is scary."

"No one in the country can compare to him, right?"

"Hotlist... Before I knew it, "Smelting Steel" became the number one again. Even with the addition of animation, this result is still very scary."

"However, there are many animations with animation bonuses. For example, if you pick well-known comics, "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss" have animations. Of course, animations also have bonuses to the works, but they are not as exaggerated as "Smelting Steel". "

"Sales have nearly doubled, from 600,000 copies in a single Friday to 1 million copies."

"Quality! In the end, the only thing that can move people's hearts is the quality of the work!"

"I've only watched the animation of "Steel Refining". The front is not bad, but is the plot behind it really good?"

"Compared with the latter, the previous plot is a bit dull. But it doesn't mean that the previous plot is not important!"

"That's right, that's right. I thought this manga could be skipped and read, but who knew, it can't! Every chapter has a lot of details. However, after reading each chapter, I find it quite interesting."

...

Yuan Zhe was also taken aback when he saw that "Smelting Steel" sold millions of copies in a single week.

He served as the editor-in-chief of "manga fly", of course he knows the difficulty of breaking one million a week for a single album.

If "Smelting Steel" does not collapse in the later stage, it will definitely be a banner comic.

The more he thought of this, the more distressed Yuan Zhe felt.

A good hand was defeated by Tong Yu.

depressed!

Yuan Zhe sighed, took a cigarette, entered the smoking room, and was about to vent his depression. Unexpectedly, he saw Qian Sheng was also in the smoking room, sitting on a bench, smoking a cigarette while swiping his phone, with the same dignified expression.

"What are you looking at?" Yuan Zhe asked curiously.

"Comic information in District 11." Qian Sheng put away his phone and sighed, "Steel Refining has sold 500,000 copies in District 11."

"I know, "ic future" was mentioned on the official Weibo." Yuan Zhe held a cigarette, ready to light it.

The achievements of "Steel Refining" have far exceeded his imagination. He guessed it would be hard to be frightened again.

It sold 500,000 copies in the 11th district, which is indeed an exaggerated achievement.

"The first edition of "Steel Refining" in District 11 only has 550,000 copies." Qian Sheng laughed dryly.

The smoke fell from Yuan Zhe's mouth, his face was shocked.

As someone said, some people get 100 points in the test because there are only 100 points on the paper.

Although "Smelting Steel" sold 500,000 in the 11th district, considering that the quantity of goods in different places is not consistent, some places should have been sold out.

500,000 volumes in a single week is not the full potential of "Smelting Steel" in the 11th district.
