Big Manga

Chapter 9: Quick Report and Solicitation

"Hey, is Deyun Bookstore... Ah, I know you are out of stock... But I'm really sorry, the magazine has been sold out, and we are still catching up."

"Sun Yang, don't stand around stupidly, go and ask the publishing house why the one hundred thousand copies printed by the publishing house haven't come out yet!"

It became popular, and "Detective Conan" began to attract people's attention-the speed of this fire was surprisingly fast, and the effect was shown in just one sentence.

The editorial department of the Phoenix Building was very busy. Seventy percent of the new issue of the magazine was sold within a day, forcing them to print an additional 100,000 copies to meet the demand that would appear in the next few days. Although there are not many reprints, "Weekly Shonen" magazine has not been reprinted for a year, and the increase in sales this time is very gratifying.

"Zhang Xiu, have the results of the quick report been counted?"

"The statistics will be completed soon, just wait."

Zhang Xiu buried her head in calculations, dripping with sweat. Every sold weekly shonen magazine has a postcard-style questionnaire in which readers can choose their favorite works and rate them. The flash report is to manually count the earliest postcards received, and give a preliminary ranking of the comics in this issue of the magazine.

"I really don't know what the editor-in-chief thinks. This weekly magazine must be number one in "Detective Conan". There is no need for statistics."

Zhang Xiu complained in his heart, but his subordinates dared not stop writing. The flash report must be calculated on the second day after the release date, generally speaking, it is the feedback from readers in Ninghai and surrounding cities. Of course, the flash report is only a quick and rough conclusion, and the real authority depends on 'Xiaozheng'.

Xiaozheng is the comprehensive anatomy of a magazine issue, which can only be calculated in the third week of the release date. It needs to collect postcard feedback from readers across the country, use computers to make statistics and distinguish, and can calculate detailed information including the average age of readers who watch each comic and the ratio of men and women.

"Quick report statistics are ready!"

After using the computer to calculate the last number, Zhang Xiu stood up and said, "The first place is "Detective Conan", with a vote rate of 96%."

"..."

The audience suddenly fell silent, and the busy editors stopped their actions. Although everyone expected that "Detective Conan" would be the first, but no one thought that the rate of votes would be so high.

96% of the readers voted first for "Detective Conan", which is a heavy blow to the entire editorial department and other cartoonists, because it is like laughing at the uselessness of other comic works of "Weekly Boys".

Sun Yang looked at the document in his hand and was stunned. Teacher Tomato's new work was released last week. The flash report was not bad, but the vote rate was only 36%. The first episode of "Detective Conan" got 96% of the votes. Could it be that the boy is better than a veteran professional cartoonist with a reader base?

Did he make a wrong choice at the time, losing a gold ingot for nothing?

"It's a good thing."

After a long time, Ye Xiong's calm voice sounded: "It's a good thing to have a genius in the field of original comics. Only in this way can we arouse more competition and efforts, and only in this way can we break the monopoly of Longteng Company's novel adaptation."

He believes that as long as there is a genius in any industry who creates a trend, the rest will catch up with the wind and the whole industry will flourish. The other editors came to their senses and thought about the same reasoning, and couldn't help admiring Ye Xiong: The editor-in-chief is different from ordinary people, and he doesn't change his expression when encountering such things. See how far-sighted the thinking is!

They didn't notice that Ye Xiong's thighs hidden by the table were trembling at all, and he was also very complicated, but more of joy, "Detective Conan" had a good start-but they couldn't relax, everything had to be planned for a long time.

"Editor-in-chief, the chairman let you go."

At this time, a notice was suddenly sent to the editorial department.

...

Meng Huo didn't know what happened thousands of miles away. Qingcheng County's "Weekly Youth" would only be on sale today, so he rushed to the bookstore early in the morning.

However, when he walked to the door, there was a "bang", and a girl who was obsessed with reading collided with him.

"sorry!"

The girl couldn't see her face clearly with her hat on, so she lowered her head and apologized with a crisp voice. Meng Huo waved his hand without realizing it, and the girl hurried away with the book in her arms.

"Nowadays, children read books no matter how they walk."

Meng Huo walked into the bookstore, but he didn't see "Weekly Boys" for sale in the comic magazine section.

"Boss, haven't the Weekly Boys arrived yet?"

he asked.

"Are you here to buy Weekly Boy too?" The bookstore owner gave him a surprised look: "Sorry, that girl bought the last one just now, you have to look elsewhere."

This bookstore orders more than a dozen weekly magazines for teenagers, which is too much. The boss is very surprised why it is so popular today.

"Thank you." Meng Huo had no choice but to look elsewhere, but he searched all over the county and still couldn't find the latest issue of "Weekly Youth".

A small place is a small place, why is it so hard to find a magazine!

Just when Meng Huo was about to give up, the mobile phone he had just bought rang.

"Hello, Meng Huo? I'm Ye Xiong, have you read the latest issue of "Weekly Boys"?"

Editor-in-chief Ye Xiong's cheerful voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Don't mention it, my place is too small and I can't find it anywhere." Meng Huo complained loudly.

"Haha, that's normal. Our magazine orders hundreds of copies a week in a typical county town. On average, there are only a dozen copies in a bookstore. If there are any good-looking new serials, it is easy to run out of stock." Ye Xiong replied with a smile. Developed, even readers in small counties can get news quickly.

This issue of "Weekly Boys" has already attracted some attention on the Internet. There are also many manga lovers in the mainland. Of course, this kind of low-stock area will be snatched up.

"From what you're saying, the results of "Detective Conan" are not bad?"

Meng Huo asked.

It's not just good, it's a miracle—Ye Xiongxiang thinks so, but he thinks that Meng Huo should not be flattered too much. If young people are proud, they will easily go downhill.

"The results of the reader's questionnaire haven't come out yet, and I don't know the specific situation." So Ye Xiong chose a moderate answer: "The situation should not be bad, you can rest assured."

"By the way, Meng Huo." He changed the subject and said, "I've already contacted the school for you, Ninghai No. 1 Senior High School."

Ninghai No. 1 Middle School? Meng Huo was taken aback. It was the top three key high schools in Ninghai. He didn't expect Ye Xiong to find him such a good school. The number one in the high school entrance examination seemed to have chosen it. However, this may be a good thing for others, but it is a disaster for Meng Huo.

"Can you change it? You can find me a key high school. How can I take care of comics with such a strict academic system?"

Meng Huo feels that the main feature of the so-called key high schools is that they have stricter requirements on students than ordinary schools. Only strict standards and excellent educational resources can create the glory of the college entrance examination again and again.

Ye Xiong's answer was a bit stiff: "We have considered this point, you don't have to worry, the principal of Ninghai No. 1 Middle School agrees that you don't usually go to school. You only need to go to the mid-term and final exams every semester, and keep your grades at the top of the school. Fifty, the school will keep your student status."

Nima——If you don't go to school, you can still stay in the top 50 of key high schools. Ye Xiong believes in him too much, doesn't he? Meng Huo wanted to scold people very much. He felt that Ye Xiong didn't care about the school's problems at all. He helped Meng Huo find the best school, but couldn't Meng Huo be able to draw cartoons wholeheartedly after being expelled?

The editor-in-chief had a lot of good intentions, but with Meng Huo's photographic memory, he was not afraid of him at all.

"Okay then, thank you for your help."

Meng Huo thanked him. In fact, thinking about it from another angle, if he keeps his grades stable, he can get a diploma without going to school. Where can he find such a good job!

"Forehead……"

Ye Xiong was going to meet Meng Huo's anger, and even thought of an excuse, but the other party's thank you turned his preparations into bubbles, and it was really uncomfortable to hold back. What's going on? Does this kid really have the confidence to learn while drawing manga? ...is it too fucking?

"One more thing, Meng Huo." Ye Xiong stopped his thoughts and continued, "It happens that you haven't come to Ninghai yet, and our editorial department has limited manpower, so we won't provide you with a responsible editor for the time being."

"How about providing it after you start school?"

Meng Huo's heart moved, of course he was fine, in fact he didn't need other people's guidance to draw cartoons.

He hastily agreed.

The conversation between the two ended here. After putting down the phone, Ye Xiong, who was standing in the chairman's office, let out a long sigh of relief.

"Did he agree?"

An old man sat in front of him, making tea calmly.

"Yes, I fully agreed." Ye Xiong nodded, his face full of doubts: "But Chairman, why did you suddenly win him over?"

He felt very strange, both the school and the editor were arranged by the old man in front of him, Ye Xiong originally planned to just find a similar school and forget it.

"The market feedback for the first chapter of "Detective Conan" is very good. Since you believe in his potential, then I will follow suit." The old man held his teacup and blew lightly, a light flashed in his eyes: "A question from the editor Don't worry, I have other options."

"These things are just a little effort, but Ye Xiong, if the child's benefits are short-lived, I will get back all the investment!"

"Yes."

Ye Xiong nodded, he vaguely felt that the chairman had other calculations in mind, of course this is not a bad thing. With the support of the chairman, he can not only cultivate a cartoonist, but also create an iconic example that leads the vigorous development of original cartoons.

What is more important now is to maintain the enthusiasm brought by the first episode of "Detective Conan". Ye Xiong has already received the manuscripts of the second and third episodes. Although there is no stunning picture at the end of the first episode, However, the plot behind it is quite charming.

Ye Xiong believes that in just a few weeks, "Detective Conan" will become a complete sensation.

He believed in his own vision even more. If an editor could improve Meng Huo's drawing skills, when he could freely draw high-quality caricatures like the last scene of the first chapter...

Huaxia, no, the comics industry in the whole world will be excited for Meng Huo!
