Chapter 78 Bad News and Good News

"Then we are sure to win?" Gao Hang said happily.

"Not necessarily." Shen Xin shook her head, "If the following story is interesting, these loopholes are insignificant."

The duel with Chen Zijiao will last for several weeks before the winner can be decided, one or two episodes of manga can't change the situation.

Shen Xin has made some moves for two consecutive weeks, at least to seize the opportunity, but Chen Zijiao will not remain silent. This change in comic style is his reaction.

Many things that will happen next are out of the control of the two of them, so Shen Xin only needs to do her job well.

Compared with the changes in "Faltering", Shen Xin is interested in another short comic.

He is familiar with this comic, and even read the first edition of this comic.

Qiao Yu delivered this comic to him a month ago.

At that time, it was a dark fairy tale. Although it had certain connotations, it was not suitable for publishing in juvenile comics because the scene was too depressing and dark. Therefore, Shen Xin's suggestion is to re-edit the name.

Later, this comic deleted the "brother and sister's choice of life and death", but still failed to pass the level of the editor-in-chief. Unexpectedly, this comic was published in "Dreamer" in another form.

The previous name used the dwarf as the first perspective, so the scene shown was too bloody, but this is also the characteristic of dark fairy tales, and no one is sure who will survive. This suspenseful atmosphere will firmly attract readers and get their attention.

However, after the modification, the first perspective was replaced by the hunter alliance to encircle and suppress the dwarves, which greatly reduced the meaning of the dark fairy tale, and instead tended to be more ordinary hero comics. The lack of coherence is magnified, making it boring to read.

Diablo comics want to attract readers while passing the review of the editorial department. It is necessary to balance the depressive atmosphere in the comics with the content expressed in the screen. This requires the painter to repeatedly deliberate and modify the name so that the sub-camera can pass through the side. Describe and express the desired effect.

In this process, even the name has to be modified more than a dozen times.

Qiao Yu obviously didn't have such patience.

Both Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong gave Qiao Yu a chance, but unfortunately he didn't grasp it. In the final analysis, it was still a matter of storyboarding and composition.

After closing the magazine, Shen Xin looked at Gao Hang and Lu Ning, "That's it for today."

"Yes, I see." Lu Ning stretched her waist, "By the way, I have an exam tomorrow, so I can't come in the morning."

"Yeah. I'm fine here, but you, don't fail the course." Shen Xin put the manuscript of Chapter 18 into the file bag, feeling much more relaxed physically and mentally.

"Even if I didn't attend the class, I could still pass." Lu Ning retorted.

"That...Mr. Shen, can I take back some background information, I want to enrich myself." Gao Hang raised his chubby hand.

"Just read it yourself. I haven't read many of those books, so I can't recommend them to you." Shen Xin said.

"Okay." Gao Hang happily ran into the reception room.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"It should be Sister Yan who came to pick up the manuscript." Shen Xin said.

Lu Ning hurried over and opened the door. Yan Fei outside the door was freezing and stomping her feet.

Yan Fei greeted Lu Ning, then hung her scarf and coat on the hangers, carrying her purse, and came to Shen Xin's desk.

"There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Yan Fei said straight to the point.

"Where did so much bad news come from?" Shen Xin looked at Yan Fei with a serious face, her eyelids twitched.

"This bad news does not come from Chen Zijiao, but from "Crime and Punishment". So far, 250,000 copies have been sold."

"Wait, you mean, 250,000 copies were sold in 5 days?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.

"That's right, on average, 50,000 copies a day. After all, "Crime and Punishment" is aimed at domestic readers, and the platform of "Comic Future" is not comparable to that of "New World." Yan Fei looked helpless .

This... is a bit like a money printing machine.

"That is to say, after Ye Hexu and Su Han broke up, the sales volume of "Punishment" has not been affected. But what does it have to do with me?" Shen Xin asked puzzled.

"Before, I always thought that the cartoonist for "Punishment" was not a newcomer, but today I realized that I was wrong. The partner Su Han found was a newcomer."

"Aside from Ye Hexu, are there any other great newcomers in "Comic Future"? I don't think I've heard of them before." Shen Xin often reads "Comic Future" and has not found such cartoonists.

"No, this cartoonist participated in the "Manga Fly" short comic contest. It is said that Ye Hexu directly named him to take over his follow-up work on "Punishment", and "Comic Future" spent a lot of money to recruit him. " Yan Fei said.

This plot seems to be more bloody.

etc……

Shen Xin suddenly remembered one thing, "Punishment" changed artists before and after, and he didn't even notice the difference in painting style and storyboard, that is to say, the strength of this cartoonist is no worse than Ye Hexu, otherwise , it is impossible to imitate Ye Hexu's style.

"The cartoonist who draws "Punishment" now is..."

Shen Xin stood up suddenly, pulled out the latest issue of "Comic Future" from the drawer, flipped to the column of "Crime and Punishment", and looked at the column of paintings, on which was written the name of the cartoonist - Jump.

Needless to say, it must be a pseudonym. However, the pen name does not seem to be very good.

The appearance of Tiao Tiao undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the "Newcomer Award".

If the difficulty of winning the "Newcomer Award" last year was "normal", then this year can be called a "nightmare".

Shen Xin felt a headache and rubbed her forehead, trying to change her mood, "What's the good news?"

A happy smile suddenly appeared on Yan Fei's face.

"Manjia.com, do you know?" Yan Fei asked.

"I know, the largest comic information website in China." Shen Xin nodded.

The relevant information of previous comic festivals were all released on this website, and because it is the largest website in China, the forum users also come from all over the country, which is almost the vane of the trend of domestic comics.

The forum has set up different sections, and relatively large magazines like the three major magazines and "Girls' Century" have their own "positions" for readers. These sections usually have a policy that no discussion of other magazines' manga is allowed within the section.

The comics of second- and third-tier magazines are discussed in the "Other" section, and this section only has more than a hundred posts a month, which is an unpopular among the unpopular. Even if someone wants to advertise here, it has little effect.

After all, the backbone comics in many big magazines are more popular than the signature comics in small magazines.

"That's right, among the hot posts on the top of the forum, there is a discussion post about "Y's"." Yan Fei tapped the desktop twice.

Shen Xin blinked, Yan Fei's words really exceeded his expectations.

Now that "Punishment" is gaining momentum, the popularity of "Dragon King", "Hunting Abyss" and "Manga Fly" will be affected, and "Y's" just popped up at this time.

"Why?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.

"You don't know the reason?" Yan Fei asked back.

Shen Xin shook her head.

"The coloring page of the latest episode has attracted the attention of many people." Yan Fei said with a smile, "Many people were attracted by the coloring page inside, and then extended from the picture to the plot."

Shen Xin scratched his head. At that time, he only wanted to let "Y's" have a sense of existence during the release period of "Punishment", but he didn't expect that domestic readers would spontaneously discuss it in the Manjia.com forum.

Is this a windfall?

"I've seen that post. The reason why it was upvoted is that apart from readers' attention to the coloring page, several cartoonists also had a lot of comments on the coloring page. In other words, it is a technical post." Yan Fei Said excitedly.

Discussing a work alone has limited popularity, especially during the period when "Punishment" was a hit, it was even more difficult to attract readers' attention. But technical stickers are different, it will attract some amateur and even professional painters.

Posts like this usually attract the attention of netizens due to the involvement of famous people.
