After the "Yan Fei's resignation incident" ended, the editorial department of "newworld" fell into chaos.
This confusion is not only due to the decline in magazine sales faced by the suspension of "ys", but also partly because of the lack of the latest issue of "ys", the magazine will have 20 pages of blank space.
How to choose comics, supplemented with 20 pages, has become the most urgent problem they need to solve.
Although the magazine has signed a contract with the cartoonist, the cartoonist is also a human. There will be illnesses, hospitalizations, and personal affairs. Therefore, it is often necessary to edit the manuscripts, otherwise the skylight will be opened.
Yan Fei was "resigned" and Li Jiming was expelled. Xiaoli didn't want Shen Xin to be embarrassed, and she resolutely refused to accept it.
There were not many editors at the small magazine, and two had already been fired. If Xiaoli continued to be fired, Song Ren estimated that he would have to come to the editorial office to work in person.
He would never do this kind of thing.
No one contacted Shen Xin, and the matter was temporarily shelved.
In addition, because it is a small magazine agency, in the final analysis, the contract is not as rigorous as the large magazine agency. At best, it only defines the rights and interests of the cartoonist. Some details are not written in the contract. I never thought that "newworld" would have such a popular work as "ys".
Faced with this situation, the management is really powerless.
After finally choosing a short comic and sending it to the printing factory, Song Ren finally thought of Shen Xin.
Mustering up the courage, picked up the phone and called Shen Xin, but no one answered.
Song Ren asked Xiaoli about Shen Xin's address, and Xiaoli shook her head repeatedly.
"No one knows where Mr. Shen lives in the magazine except Sister Yan." Seeing Song Ren's eager expression, Xiaoli hurriedly "broke", "Sorry, President, tomorrow, "Ghost Power", I want to go. Take a look at Teacher Zhou."
"Oh... eh... you..."
Song Ren only had time to say three words, and Xiaoli ran into the elevator, while the others in the editorial department bowed their heads deeply and did not dare to speak out.
In desperation, Song Ren could only return to his office depressed.
"Sales dropped by up to 200,000 copies—"
Song Ren rubbed his forehead. This was his cruel prediction.
For a magazine that has just sold 1.1 million copies, a single-issue plummet of 200,000 copies is already a very exaggerated figure, but Song Ren feels it can accept it.
On the one hand, the original single issue of "newworld" sold between 600,000 and 700,000 copies. If there are still 900,000 copies in this issue, he can catch his breath. On the other hand, if there is no Shen Xin, the magazine It may also be a good sign that the sales of 900,000 copies in a single issue can also be kept-the sales of a magazine cannot be restrained by the fire comics, otherwise, the magazine will never be able to become stronger.
Song Ren's killer is the release of "Ghost Power", using "Ghost Power" to stop the decline.
However, the development of the matter was diametrically opposed to his expectations.
The release of "newworld" did not cause a lot of waves, and many comic forums only briefly discussed it.
"Don't buy it, there is no "ys" in this issue."
"Didn't the magazine apologize?"
"What's the use of an apology? Didn't Teacher Yan still not return to the magazine?"
"Haha...you guys, if you encounter something like Teacher Yan, and if you don't do anything, you will be thrown into a pot, will you still go back to work?"
"That is, self-esteem is also very important."
"Before you succeed, don't overemphasize your self-esteem."
"Teacher Yan is not successful yet? Teacher Shen won the'Newcomer Award.' Does Teacher Yan also put in effort?"
"Don't forget, before that, the'Newcomer Award' was in the three major journals, and Mr. Yan was better than the editors of other journals."
"Anyway, I don't want to buy "newworld" anymore."
"It's not interesting, why not buy "icfuture" to buy such a magazine? The prices of the two magazines are about the same."
"But what about "Ghost Power"? It's also kind of interesting."
"Isn't it enough to pay the bill?"
"Yes."
"Upstairs, I don't want to give money to such a disgusting magazine. Slandering Teacher Yan, the wicked sues."
"Listening to you, I don't want to buy anymore..."
...
The zombie face knocked on the door of the president's office and handed the latest statistics form to Song Ren.
Song Ren roughly glanced at the statistics table, his hands trembling.
The sales of "newworld" plummeted by more than 400,000 copies, and the single-issue sales eventually did not exceed 700,000 copies. The single line of "Ghost Power" barely reached the reprint this weekend.
For "newworld", this rate of decline is more than an avalanche? It was a big earthquake.
"How is it possible? How could it drop 400,000 copies a week?" Song Ren looked at the zombie face in front of him with a cold sweat on his forehead, "Is it a statistical error?"
"No. There is a reason for the drop so much." Zombie Face explained.
"what reason?"
"First, "y's" has attracted some domestic readers. When "ys" was terminated, "newworld" lost its appeal to these readers.
"Secondly, due to the influence of public opinion, netizens and readers have negative opinions on magazines and a sense of rejection of magazines. Therefore, sales of magazines have fallen. The evidence is that although magazine sales have decreased, sales of "ys" have increased. Yes. Last week, "ys" sold 200,000 copies."
Song Ren listened to the analysis of the zombie's face, his face was blue and his nails were in the flesh.
That's the end of the matter, it's useless to say more.
Reduce losses? Both have dropped by 600,000 volumes, how can they be reduced? The sales of "newworld" this week have been surpassed by "dreamer"...
hateful.
"Those some famous cartoonists...what about their achievements?"
"It might be better for you to ask the editorial department about this matter. They know better than me. However, I heard that several old cartoonists who have recently come here are not doing very well."
"Trash... a bunch of trash!" Song Ren smashed the table angrily~www.mtlnovel.com~ all came from stinky shrimps and crabs! Completely unreliable.
When the zombie face left the room, Song Ren leaned on the boss chair, feeling weak.
Only a little...As long as "newworld" has a stable sales volume of one million, it will be a matter of time before it enters the first-tier magazines.
result...
It's all gone now.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Song Ren quickly sat upright and picked up the phone. Seeing that it was the old man's phone call, his expression immediately became tense.
"Dad...Dad..." Song Ren's voice trembled a little.
"How is "newworld" now?"
"Dropped a lot..."
Song Ren looked embarrassed, but didn't tell the truth. The old man had a bad heart and was still in the hospital. If he was irritated, "newworld" would be over.
"400,000 copies dropped?" Song Tai asked.
"How do you know?" Song Ren's face instantly paled.
"Trash... trash!" Song Tai scolded angrily, "I asked you to contact Teacher Shen, what did he say?"
"Dad... can't get in touch." Song Ren was about to cry.
"You send a car to the airport to pick me up this afternoon..."
"Huh? No, Dad, aren't you going to have an operation?" Song Ren panicked.
"When I had the operation, the magazine went bankrupt!" Song Tai said angrily, "I want to discuss with Teacher Shen a plan that is acceptable to both parties!"
