Chapter Nine Hundred and Ninetieth Irritating
Luo Zheng turned his head to see Zuo Yuan, and was taken aback for a moment.
He knew about the relationship between Zuo Yuan and Shen Xin, and the incident at that time caused a sensation in the comics world.
It can be said that without Shen Xin risking his life to save him, Zuo Yuan might really be gone.
Later, Zuo Yuan staggered along the way, because "ComicFuture" lacked comics for children under the age of 12, so he gained a firm foothold in "ComicFuture" by virtue of "Back to 12".
The new work "Daddy's Daily Life" tells the story of a young man who just graduated from university, accidentally got a large egg, and after it hatched, there was a little girl inside.
The story is about young people and little girls.
The small book ranking of "Daddy's Daily" is stable at 8th to 9th, but the booklet sells very well.
Many people thought that the people who bought books would be children. Later, the magazine did a survey and found that a large part of people who bought comics were people over the age of 20. They were attracted by the cuteness of little girls, and they shouted "Moe is justice".
It is said that although only 5 volumes have been published, animation has already been put on the agenda. By then, it is estimated that there will be a wave of cuteness.
Although the small book "Daddy's Daily" ranks no higher than "Idol Era", the momentum of the whole comic is going up, and "Idol Era" has been left behind after the explosion of the top few comics in the previous period. behind.
In the future, it might be surpassed.
"Ask him?" Luo Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then began to struggle in his heart.
Usually, he has always regarded Shen Xin as a competitor, especially when "Steel Refining" was serialized, due to a period of interruption, he was seized by "The King of Rock and Roll" and accumulated a lot of popularity.
Now that the performance of "Idol Age" has declined, he is also a little confused about the future. Whether he should continue to draw "Idol Age" or start a new book and create a new book, he is not ready yet. In addition, the magazine also disagrees with the end of "Idol Age", the reason is that the results of his next comic may not be comparable to this one.
"I told you a long time ago that I asked you to ask him, but you didn't ask..." Ye Hexu put a piece of sponge cake into his mouth and narrowed his eyes.
"Let me tell you this. When Brother Xu and I were discussing the new book, I had no idea. At the wedding of Mr. Wang and Mr. Yan, I mentioned this to Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen said, 'you can have a daughter. The happiness of the manga, pass on to more people', this is the "Daddy's Daily", and the meaning in Teacher Shen's words is also obvious, the main readers of this comic are not children, but people who like children. So , I will not question Teacher Shen's suggestion."
Some things, if the parties do not say, it is difficult for others to know.
It was also the first time for Ye Hexu to know about this, with the cake stuffed in his mouth, he forgot to chew it.
"Sometimes, a word from others can give you a train of thought. I think this is very important." Zuo Yuan reminded again.
He is now convinced of Shen Xin from the bottom of his heart. Shen Xin saved his life and gave him ideas for a new book.
Luo Zheng nodded, thought over and over in his heart, and felt that it was necessary to talk to Shen Xin.
He was about to find Shen Xin, when suddenly, at the innermost side of the hall, there was the sound of trying out a microphone, and at the same time, the lights in the hall dimmed a lot, while the lights on the high platform inside lit up.
Yu Chen stood on the high platform and said a few words: "Everyone, please look here..."ComicFuture" is the 34th year this year, and we all have struggled together for 34 years. In a short period of time, there are troughs, there are The climax, what remains unchanged is everyone’s hard work, and they have created one excellent work after another. I am here, on behalf of Yishu Culture and the editorial department of "ComicFuture", to thank you all. I think there should be applause here. "
As soon as the words fell, there was thunderous applause in the hall, especially the last sentence, which let many cartoonists know that Yu Chen, who is usually unsmiling, has a humorous side.
The applause gradually died down, and Yu Chen said again: "Today,
I am very glad that Mr. Shen also came to the annual meeting. Next, I would like to invite Mr. Shen to say a few words. "
Shen Xin, who was under the stage, smiled helplessly. Amid the applause, she walked up to the high stage and took the microphone from Yu Chen.
"Since the editor-in-chief asked me to say a few words, I will say a few words. The first sentence is that I am very glad to be able to come to the annual meeting today; the second sentence is that I wish you all a good time."
"..."
Yu Chen had black lines all over his head.
Anyone who has studied Chinese knows that sometimes specific numbers can be imaginary numbers, just like thinking twice, not thinking three times, but thinking repeatedly.
He asked Shen Xin to say a few words, this "two" is an imaginary number, meaning to ask Shen Xin to say a few words, but in the end Shen Xin took it as a real number, and after he really said a few words, he would come down, of course he couldn't agree, block Staying at the stairs, let Shen Xin say a few more words.
"Would you like to say a few more words?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.
"Don't... say a few words." Yu Chen quickly waved his hands.
It turns out... Shen Xin sometimes jokes.
So, Shen Xin returned to the stage with an innocent face.
"Ahem, I'm back again."
The following roared with laughter.
"Well, the editor-in-chief didn't 'keep the promise', so I had to 'work overtime'. Actually, I don't think there is anything to say, because cartoonists are a bunch of nerds. I said too much, and I would put my usual self Say it too."
The following laughed again.
"As you all know, the sales volume of "ComicFuture" continued to decline for a period of time, and now it has stabilized. However, it is not due to the efforts of a certain comic, but the hard work of everyone present. The magazine has come to this point. I am here Thank you everyone. Of course, my "thank you" does not represent the magazine, but only represents myself.
"The increase in magazine sales shows that magazines have good comics, and it is easy to bring more people into the comic circle. When readers come into contact with different comics, this is a good thing for many cartoonists.
"As for me personally, I have a small goal in the new year. I hope that the volume of "" will exceed 1.3 million copies, and I also hope to see better works on "ComicFuture". Thank you." Shen Xin slightly After bowing, he walked off the stage.
Others thought the previous words were normal, and Shen Xin's words were relatively restrained. Suddenly, when it came to the last sentence, especially when he said "I hope that the single volume can exceed 1.3 million volumes", two words popped up in many people's minds. ,"boast".
It is not impossible to achieve 1.3 million copies, but the difficulty is not small without the promotion of animation.
Recently, under the premise that the animation has not been released, the volume of the manga "DN" has exceeded one million copies. According to Shen Xin, the sales volume of "" is higher than that of "DN".
This is a bit blown.
What is even more unacceptable is that this is just a "small goal", as if it can really be accomplished.
It's really maddening.
