Chapter 117 Competition

Ye Hexu posted pictures of pillows and mouse pads on Ps on Weibo, and x-on:沉阳和《New World》official Weibo.

Soon, Jian Xiaomei sent a private message asking him to delete Weibo.

But after Ye Hexu posted Weibo, he returned to the workbench and continued to draw the original manuscript of "Hunting Abyss". Other assistants also worked one after another. No one knew that Jian Xiaomei had sent a private message.

In the end, Jian Xiaomei called the middle-aged assistant again and asked him to hand over the phone to Ye Hexu.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Ye Hexu took off his earphones and asked suspiciously.

"Delete Weibo quickly." Jian Xiaomei's sharp voice came from the microphone.

"Huh? Why?" Ye Hexu asked puzzled.

"Nonsense! What you are doing is equivalent to promoting "Y's". Don't forget, you are rivals!" Jian Xiaomei's voice was very irritable.

"Oh, I know all the reasons you said, but don't pay too much attention to it. "Y's" is a very good comic. As a fan, I should always give some suggestions? Besides, don't you think those peripherals are great? ?” Ye Hexu laughed.

"You are... so mad at me. Do you know that the sales volume of "Y's" has exceeded 600,000 copies, and the gap between "Hunting Abyss" and it has also been pulled from 50,000 to 80,000." Jian Xiao's forehead swelled, How did she get such a cartoonist? There is no sense of crisis at all.

"Ah? Pulled away again? Why?" Ye Hexu asked in surprise.

Originally, the sales volume of 250,000 copies in the first week was not bad, but after the first week, the sales volume of the comics began to decline. It will soon come to April, and the sales volume of "Hunting Abyss" is only 520,000.

In fact, not only "Hunting Abyss", but even "Criminal Punishment" sales have been sluggish for a long time. It has been released for almost four months, and it has never reached 650,000 copies, ranking 13th on the new book sales list.

"Y's" is flat, sandwiched between "The Hunting Abyss" and "Punishment", and its sales have risen steadily, but as of last week, the sales of the single volume were less than 600,000 copies.

Unlike "Hunting Abyss" and "Punishment", the sales of "Y's" include two separate volumes, that is to say, the potential of "Y's" is not as good as the other two, but judging from the current trend, it is better than the other two. "Punishment" and "Hunting Abyss" are more stable.

"It has a lot to do with the release of the radio play. Those readers who are attracted by the "Radio Play" are likely to buy two separate volumes at once. The sales growth will be faster."

Ye Hexu nodded slightly, and suddenly laughed again.

"What's wrong?" Jian Xiaomei asked puzzled.

"Jian Xiaomei, do you know about marathons?" Ye Hexu smiled.

"Nonsense, don't you know?" Jian Xiaomei said angrily.

"Then you should know that the person who runs fast at the beginning does not necessarily have the last laugh. The champion is often a follower at the beginning. Mr. Shen's radio drama is indeed eye-catching, but don't forget, "Hunting The Abyss has an autumn episode. The promotional effect of animation is far beyond that of radio dramas. What we need to do now is to quietly follow behind "Y's" and "Punishment". After July, it will be our home field .”

"Teacher Ye."

"Um?"

"You can use your brain too?" Jian Xiaomei hesitated.

"I just thought it was fun."

Ye Hexu's laughter reached Jian Xiaomei's ears.

Jian Xiaomei took a deep breath, "Ms. Ye, "Y's" has started to be promoted in Hongchuan's media, and the third volume will be released at the same time as the radio drama. The release date is April 7."

"Oh, there are still more than two weeks. It seems that this time "New World" has also made up its mind to promote "Y's"."

"More than that, the second volume of "Punishment" will also be released on April 7. The separate volumes of the two comics,

will collide directly. "

"Huh? Why do they have a good development and sales period?" Ye Hexu was a little surprised, but after thinking for a while, he thought of the reason.

"Crime and Punishment" has always been among the best in the "Comic Future" questionnaire. If the opponent is "Dragon King", "Sin and Punishment" may postpone the release date, but its competitor is "Y's", but it is different.

Why should "Punishment" give way to "Y's"?

The intention of "New World" is more obvious. The release of the radio drama will make the popularity of "Y's" peak in a short period of time, and may even be higher than the popularity in July, August, and September.

If it has such a popularity value and still cannot compete with "Crime Punishment", then the probability of "Y's" winning the "Newcomer Award" will be much smaller, and even more exaggerated, "Y's" may automatically give up on the "Rookie Award". The chase for the "Newcomer Award".

"Jian Xiaomei, please ask the editorial department if "Hunting Abyss" can also be released in April." Ye Hexu said.

"What do you want to do? Don't do stupid things, there's no need to hang out with them." Jian Xiaomei warned.

"How is it possible? But Jian Xiaomei, you should also be clear. If the second volume of "The Hunting Abyss" is released in May, it means that before July, "The Hunting Abyss" will only have two separate volumes. Are you sure you only need two copies? With the sales volume of the booklet, can "Hunting Abyss" be in the top ten of the newcomer sales list?

"Instead of being unsure, it's better to use the third volume of "Hunting Abyss" to compete with "Y's" and "Punishment" in June. Besides, when the animation is released, it will also drive sales of the booklet."

This guy...what on earth is he thinking? Is the span too big?

Jian Xiaomei immediately lowered her head in thought, and three minutes later, she raised her head and said to Ye Hexu: "I see. I will mention your suggestion to the editor-in-chief, but whether the second volume can be released in April depends on the editor-in-chief and the sales department." mean."

"I see." Ye Hexu hung up the phone and casually threw the phone to the middle-aged assistant.

June, hehe, I'm really looking forward to it, I don't know if it will be a big chaos.

As the G pen was dipped in ink, the smile on Ye Hexu's face grew wider.

...

Almost at the same time, in another studio in Hongchuan, a young man in a white sweater was drawing at his desk, with the G-pen in his hand gliding smoothly along the pencil line.

Behind him, there are still three assistants, lying on the workbench and painting.

Although there are four people in the whole studio, there is an indescribable depression, as if the air in the studio is thinner than that outside, making people breathless.

"Ding dong."

The doorbell rang, and the assistant who was near the door stood up instantly, hurried to the door, opened the door, and the fresh air blew in, and he immediately felt a lot more energetic.

"Is Teacher Tiaotiao still painting?" Standing at the door was a young man in a white suit and purple shirt.

"Yeah, it's the same as before. When we left yesterday, the teacher was sitting there painting, and when we came, the teacher was still continuing. Brother Xu... Is the teacher's body really okay?" The assistant looked at it with some embarrassment youth.

The young man in front of him is named Xu Jie, who became the responsible editor of "Crime and Punishment" after Tiaotiao took over "Crime and Punishment".

"I see. I'll go and have a word with him." Xu Jie patted the assistant on the shoulder and walked into the studio.
