Chapter Six Hundred and Eightieth: Votes

After the release of the new book, Yan Fei went to the bookstore and the sales department from time to time.

After all, this is the only comic book with a first edition of 2 million copies in China.

Once unsalable, it is estimated that "Comic Future" will be in a downturn for a while.

Fortunately, the sales volume of the last two volumes of "Steel Refining" is not bad. Although there is no detailed statistics, the sales department estimates that the sales volume of each volume should be between 700,000 and 800,000 copies.

According to this trend, breaking one million in a single week is a certainty, and the magazine should be satisfied with this result.

Yan Fei returned from the sales department, just entered the editorial department, and suddenly noticed that everyone else was looking at her, especially Yu Chen, with a weird expression.

"What's wrong?" Yan Fei asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing... How's the situation of the last two volumes of "Steel Refining"?" Yu Chen coughed lightly.

"Each book is estimated to have sold 700,000 copies, and it is no problem to break one million in a single week."

As soon as the words were finished, Yan Fei saw the expressions of the editors change slightly.

Among the readers who bought the booklet, some of them are working people.

Usually, they don’t have time to read magazines, so they can only spare time to buy booklets, and choose the booklets they like based on the popularity of manga or animations released.

Now, the mobile app and the D version have affected the sales of manga booklets to a certain extent. Readers, whether they are students or working people, can take out their mobile phones to read comics when taking the subway, or glance at their mobile phones after the lights are turned off. Especially, working people do not need to deliberately run after a tiring day When they go to the bookstore to buy books, they can read them anytime as long as they have traffic or wifi.

In this case, book sales of many comics have declined, and revenues of web comics have increased. Like "Smelting Steel", it is almost difficult to sell 700,000 copies in two days.

Although this figure is only the estimate of the sales department, the gap between the actual sales volume and the valuation is often within 50,000 copies, so it can be used to make a rough guess.

"The little book of Comic Future came out," Hook explained.

"Really? I'm going to take a look and hope that "DN" has a good score.

"Yan Fei put the file on her desk, sat down, and clicked on the mailbox.

The first place in the small book was Ye Hexu's "The Demon", with 463 votes.

When Yan Fei saw this ranking, she was a little depressed, but she also knew in her heart that short stories did have disadvantages compared with serial comics.

The disadvantage of "DN" is that some people have used the "note" cheat, and because a story needs to be completely told within a limited space, the structure of the plot is somewhat simple, and many places that need to be paved It's just a passing mention, and the protagonist has no rivalry, so the plot becomes weak.

Yan Fei is aware of these weaknesses, and the arrangement of the short stories of "DN" is very careful, and she can't find a better way to deal with it.

Although "The Way of the Demon" has only one chapter, its advantage is that it can set up suspense and lay the groundwork for the subsequent chapters, but short comics do not have such an opportunity.

What's more, in the subconscious of some readers, short comics are always inferior to long ones.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that "DN" was surpassed by "Yao Dao".

Shen Xin does not have too many requirements for the results of "DN". The main purpose of this short story is to let readers know about Rick and "DN". Next, when writing a long story, everyone will not feel unfamiliar.

Yan Fei looked down the rankings, followed by "The King of Rock and Roll", "Restaurant in Another World" and "Ding Shi"... "Returning to 12" also unknowingly stabilized at the 8th place.

Yan Fei kept aiming at the last place, but did not find "DN", so she asked in surprise, "Team leader, where is "DN"?"

"I didn't add it... Cough, this is a small book with serial rankings after all, and it's not very good to put a short story in it." Hook coughed lightly.

Small books have little influence on "DN", the magazine also uses "DN"'s votes to compare with other serial comics to measure the quality of Shen Xin's new book.

After all, "Comic Future" has been published for so many years, and it was the first time I met a cartoonist like Shen Xin, so I had to be cautious.

"Then how many votes does "DN" have?" Yan Fei asked.

"489, there is a '*' behind "The Demon Way"." Hook reminded.

It was only then that Yan Fei noticed that there was a note behind the title of "The Demonic Way".

Her gaze immediately moved to the bottom of the email, and she saw a line of words.

""DN" ranked No. 1 in Xiaoshu with 489 votes. Because it is not a serial work, it is not included in the official ranking of Xiaoshu."

Yan Fei gave a "tsk", and she finally understood the reaction of the others.

With so many serialized comics being suppressed by a short story, it is indeed not very glorious.

Yan Fei added up the votes secretly. The total number of votes for the other 20 comics was 2504 votes. Excluding a few postcards that only cast two votes, the rest was the number of votes for "DN".

"By the way, Xiaoyan, please urge Mr. Shen to hand in the name of "DN" as soon as possible. Then, you and I will go to District 11."

"Huh?" Yan Fei was taken aback.

"To promote "DN", please tell Mr. Shen that this time, the response from "Young Leap" is not too strong, it is said that they are worried about the quality of "DN". However, there are other magazines who want to introduce "DN", We will talk about the specific situation when we get to District 11." Yu Chen explained.

If the copyright of the animation is in the hands of "Comic Future", Yu Chen doesn't mind going to Orochi or other animation production companies, but now, Shen Xin can only contact him.

Yan Fei nodded.

"Youth Leap" has such a reaction, and it is not difficult to understand. The last thirty or so chapters of "Steel Refining" are all large-scale, and each chapter is at least 40 pages. During the serialization of "Steel Refining", it is estimated that a certain manga of "Shounen Leap" was squeezed out, and there may be opinions within the magazine. More details can only be known after going to District 11.

However, the names of the first three episodes of "DN" have not been released yet, which also surprised Yan Fei. After all, what Shen Xin said is usually very punctual.

This time, when the short story of "DN" was published, Shen Xin still did not submit the name of "DN".

As long as you think about this kind of thing carefully, you will know that continuous creation is too difficult. The line draft of "Y's" needs to be drawn, and the name of "DN" needs to be drawn... most people should not be able to do it.

She glanced at the ranking on the display screen, thought for a while, picked up the phone, and dialed Wang Wenhong's cell phone.

"Old Wang, help me ask Mr. Shen, what happened to the name of the first three episodes of "DN"?"

As soon as the call was connected, Yan Fei directly asked the question.

"Come here and get it? It's already out." Wang Wenhong's answer was straightforward.

So fast! ?

Yan Fei was taken aback, but still had doubts, "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure, I'm watching it. One word to describe it, 'superb'. Judging from the plots I've seen so far, this comic may be the ceiling of evil comics."

"..."

Deep down in Yan Fei's heart, she was full of depression.

This is what Yan Fei hates the most.

Obviously she is the editor in charge of Shen Xin, why did she only see the name after Wang Wenhong! ?

It feels like being tricked by Wang Wenhong...

In addition to some complaints, Wang Wenhong's words also made her feel a strong sense of curiosity about "DN".

The ceiling of evil comics! ? Is there really such a thing?

After hanging up the phone, Yan Fei stood up and said to Yu Chen, "Mr. Yu, the names of the first three chapters of Mr. Shen's new book have been released. I'll go over there."

The eyes of the other editors immediately fell on Yan Fei.

The serial name of "DN"! ?

Every editor suddenly felt like being stabbed by something.
