Chapter 620 Countermeasures

Shang Haozhi shoulders a heavy responsibility.

Recently, if the operation is not good, "ComicFuture" is likely to collapse, so we must be careful, careful, and careful.

"First of all, I talked with Mr. Ye and asked him to extend two more words. That is to say, "The Hunting Abyss" is still 6 weeks away...The results from Mr. Shen's side have also come out, and it will take about 6 weeks. In order to take care of Shen Teacher's body, we have extended it to 8 weeks. Therefore, after Mr. Ye finished "Hunting Abyss", he will have a short comic."

Shang Haozhi told Bao Jiyi the result of his communication with Ye Hexu yesterday.

"When did Teacher Ye become so talkative?" Bao Jiyi asked suspiciously.

"I promised him that if his new book can sell 500,000 copies in a single week, I will sell his comics to animation companies in District 11."

"So..." Bao Jiyi nodded slightly, "But, you didn't give him a guarantee, did you? This kind of thing is very accidental. If there is anything, let's talk about it in advance, and don't wait until the time comes. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. "

"I know that at that time, he will also participate. If it is really impossible to negotiate, he should have nothing to say."

"Well, as long as you know what's in your mind. Also, after "Smelting Steel" is closed, what preparations do you have? Just relying on "Hunting Abyss"...I'm afraid it won't work?"

"There is also "The King of Rock and Roll". At the beginning, "The King of Rock and Roll" won the first place. Of course, it has something to do with the depression in the plot of "Smelting Steel". The King of Rock and Roll itself is also of good quality. If it wasn’t for a certain program that had objections to this comic and made the whole thing stir up trouble, otherwise, the performance of “The King of Rock and Roll” wouldn’t have plummeted.”

"What can you do?" Bao Jiyi asked.

"Push! Push hard! Let Mr. Luo know that we support him. The only manga we can rely on now is "The King of Rock and Roll". In any case, we must stabilize the comics before "Smelting Steel" comes back." The sales volume of "ComicFuture"." Shang Haozhi said.

"That's true." Bao Jiyi nodded.

"Also, "Ding Shi" is also. In fact, "Ding Shi" also has potential." Shang Haozhi submitted a report to Bao Jiyi, "As of now, the sales volume of the first volume has reached 460,000 copies. Volume 1, influenced by the D edition, sold 194,000 copies. Among the new books, it is already very good."

"En." Bao Jiyi nodded, looking at the report in his hand, "The novel "The Journey of Two People" seems to be published soon, right?"

"The first edition is 100,000 copies." Shang Haozhi said.

Originally the first release was 200,000 volumes, but now, before the D version takes control, he doesn't have much to do.

"100,000... is fine, so as not to cause problems." Bao Jiyi nodded, "By the way, should you also consider the works of Mr. Shi and Mr. Han?"

"Of course, Mr. Shen's rest time is two months. There are many opportunities for these works." Shang Haozhi laughed.

"Okay, after talking about these works... Should we also talk about how to deal with the first volume of "Returning to 12 Years Old". This matter, you know, the magazine can eat nearly 120,000 copies But if this manga keeps selling a few thousand copies a week, then its first edition will never exceed 100,000 copies. So, I want to ask your opinion. Abandon this manga, or try to put 120,000 copies sold?"

This matter is very important, even more important than Shen Xin's suspension of publication for two months.

It seems that this matter is related to the 120,000 volumes of "Returning to 12", but in fact, it is not just that.

If they can sell the remaining single volumes of "Returning to 12" at a moderate price, it means that they can effectively reduce the harm caused by the D version.

"Actually, I think so... the decisions we made related to "ComicFuture" and the operation of the app may be wrong." Shang Haozhi said in a deep voice.

What he said involved the operation of the magazine and the app. These were not things he should be involved in, but the current situation did not allow him to shrink back.

Bao Jiyi frowned, "Then what do you mean?"

"Merge! Merge "ComicFuture" and the app!" Shang Haozhi explained.

"One is the book, the other is the software... how to merge!?" Bao Jiyi looked at Shang Haozhi coldly.

"Income into one. Before, the monthly income of the two platforms has been calculated separately. In this case, there is a competitive relationship between the platforms. In order to ensure the sales of booklets and magazines, the top hit works of "ComicFuture" are often not listed. app, but in fact, this also affects the revenue of the comics themselves.”

"What works are you going to put up?"

""Returning to 12 Years Old"...By the way, there must be "Steel Refining" and "Soul of Chess", especially "Steel Refining". Now "Steel Refining" is on hiatus and needs some topics to keep the comics hot .” Shang Haozhi rubbed his hands, but his expression was not relaxed.

Putting "Steel Refining" on the app, the sales volume of "Steel Refining" will definitely drop significantly.

"Isn't it too reckless to do this? This is "Smelting Steel"!" Bao Jiyi shook his head.

"It is precisely because of "Steel Refining" that we want to do this. Now that Manga Paradise is out, even if we don't put "Steel Refining" on the app, we can't stop the sales of "Steel Refining" from falling. Director Bao, we have reached this point , don't think about the printing house anymore. "ComicFuture"... survive first?"

"However, the ratio of 70% to 30%..." Bao Jiyi was still dissatisfied with this point.

""Steel Refining" has already fulfilled the condition of selling 10 million copies for an extended year, right?" Shang Haozhi reminded.

"That's right." As the chairman of Yishu Culture, he must keep his word, "Why did you think of this?"

"Someone reminded..."

"who?"

"Wang Wenhong."

"Sometimes editors should not get too close to authors, they represent the magazine." Bao Jiyi said dissatisfied.

"You are wrong, he does not represent the magazine. The editor...in fact, it is the bridge between the magazine and the author. He knows the author better than us."

"However, he is our employee. The interests of the magazine must be given priority."

"I know, but the cooperation between us and the author should be a win-win situation. One more thing... Wang Wenhong submitted his resignation." Shang Haozhi sighed.

This was something he only found out this morning. He didn't understand why Wang Wenhong did this, but he still respected his decision.

It is also because of this incident that there will be personnel changes in the editorial department, and many people are looking at the position of the editor of "Steel Refining".

"Why?" Bao Jiyi asked back.

"He felt that Mr. Shen's illness was related to him. He suggested to me that Mr. Shen should suspend the publication, but he didn't insist, so there was a hidden danger of Mr. Shen's illness."

Bao Jiyi was silent for a long time, listening to Shang Haozhi's explanation, he could also understand Shang Haozhi's definition of editor.

A bridge must convey the opinions of both parties clearly. It's not that Wang Wenhong didn't do well, but that when faced with the conflict between the author and the magazine, he would choose the option with less influence.

"Then... who will take over his job?"

"Yan Fei. At the same time, Xu Jie resumed his role as the editor in charge of Mr. Zuo." Shang Haozhi explained.
