Chapter 122: Celebration
Due to the promotion of the magazine and the release of the radio drama, more people knew about "Y's", and the popularity of "Y's" reached its peak in a short period of time. Subsequently, sales of the booklets began to decline. In the end, the weekly sales of "Y's" were fixed at 390,000 copies.
The results of "Crime and Punishment" are not bad, with a weekly sales volume of 360,000 copies, which is at a slight disadvantage. At the same time, the total sales of the two magazines also increased to varying degrees with the release of new books.
In the recent sales list of newcomers, "Y's" ranked tenth on the new book list with 1.1 million copies, followed by "Punishment" with a gap of 20,000 copies.
Is there really a chance to compete for the newcomer award?
Seeing the new ranking launched by manjia.com, Song Tai also paid more attention to "Y's".
He did go out of his way to launch a new Y's book, but the results exceeded his expectations.
Before, "New World" also launched radio dramas for some comics, and even made animations, but the effect was not as obvious as this time.
The weekly sales of the booklet reached 390,000 copies, which was even 30,000 more than "Punishment". This achievement was enough to keep him happy for a while.
In addition, the outbreak of "Y's" this time also gave the magazine another harvest - the sales volume of a single issue of "New World" increased by 100,000 copies compared with the previous issue, reaching 800,000. Old rival "Dreamer" fell behind.
Among the 100,000 copies, part of the reason is that while he was promoting "Y's", he also placed the name of "New World" in a more conspicuous place, so that everyone knew the magazine brand unconsciously. And another part of the reason is driven by "Y's".
After reading the booklet, if you still want to watch the next plot, you can only buy the magazine again.
In short, the promotion of "Y's" this time is a win-win situation, he and Shen Xin each get what they need.
Next, Song Tai's task is to continue to be responsible for the recording of the second season of the radio drama, and at the same time look for advertisements with higher quotations to reduce the cost. If the effect is satisfactory, then he will start the second negotiation with Shen Xin.
...
"cheers!"
In the private room of a Huaxia restaurant, people around the round table stood up one after another and raised their glasses high.
The cups are filled with various forms of drinks, including liquor and beer, as well as fruit juice and cola.
After everyone took a sip, they all sat down.
"Congratulations, Mr. Shen, this time, you let others know that even a magazine in a small place has first-class comics in China." Yan Fei took a sip of beer, with a refreshing look on her face.
During this period of time, she was under a lot of pressure. On the one hand, she had to communicate with Shen Xin about the name of the new chapter, and on the other hand, she often communicated with Song Tai, hoping that he could devote more resources to Shen Xin.
For this, Song Ren did not give Yan Fei a little face, but she didn't care at all.
The promotion of "Y's" was finalized by your father, why did you interrupt?
Fortunately, the results of "Y's" slapped Song Ren in the face severely, and also gave Yan Fei confidence when talking to Song Ren.
"Thank you for your support." Shen Xin smiled.
The popularity of "Y's" was beyond his expectation, but when he thought about it carefully, it wasn't that hard to understand.
In fact, online novels are quite similar to this "Y's". Some online novels that are usually unknown, as long as the website gives a good recommendation, they may skyrocket. The key factor that determines success or failure is the quality of the work. Obviously, "Y's" has such qualities.
"Y's" is now in the top ten of the newcomer list, as long as they continue to work hard in the next two months, it should not be a problem to enter the second stage.
However, the competition for the "Newcomer Award" entries,
It's only from the second stage that it really begins. Various magazines and societies use various methods to increase the exposure of their own comics. It is unknown how much support "New World" can give "Y's" by then.
"Editor Yan, this time "Y's" has achieved such a good result, which has greatly improved the reputation of "New World". The magazine society will not give Mr. Shen some rewards? For example, a car?" Gao Hang After drinking two glasses of beer, I also got a little excited, so I said a few words from my heart.
"What's the use of giving a car? No one drives it." Lu Ning asked rhetorically.
"Who said no one drove it? Am I not human?" Gao Hang was a little displeased, "I passed the driver's license test three years ago, but I never had the chance to touch a real car."
"I'll go to the magazine to apply for a car model for you later." Yan Fei said with a smile.
"Eh? Forget it then." Gao Hang shook his head.
He knew that the price of the car model was not cheap, but for him, he would rather have a figure of Iori.
"Although the sales of "Y's" are good and the sales of "New World" have also increased, the funds have not been recovered. The next round of publicity will follow, which will require a large amount of funds." Yan Fei explained.
Gao Hang scratched his head in embarrassment, "I just said it casually."
"Yan... Sister Yan, I saw a picture on Weibo. It seems that someone designed Yizhi's pillow and mouse pad. I think it's very interesting. Hasn't the magazine ever thought about making peripheral products?" Zhou Yang thought for a while. For one thing, considering that Xiaoli was sitting next to him, he didn't dare to speak loudly.
"That person is Ye Hexu, the author of "Hunting Abyss", he is not a cat or a dog." Xiaoli reminded.
"Eh? Really? I don't know, I just think that if these things are really launched, people should buy them." Zhou Yang said.
Gao Hang's eyes were bright, and he nodded again and again, "That's right, it's probably very comfortable to use that kind of mouse pad, and the pillow is also good. As long as it doesn't cost too much, I'm sure I won't worry about selling it."
In one sentence, Gao Hang's "house" nature was revealed.
Lu Ning and Xiao Li immediately looked at him with contempt, and even Zhou Yang deliberately distanced himself from him.
Hey, it's fine if they have opinions on me, why are you like them?
Gao Hang looked at Zhou Yang, opened his mouth slightly, and couldn't figure out the reason for a long time.
"Mr. Gao, I might want to discourage you. So far, the magazine has no plans to launch such peripherals." Yan Fei explained.
"Why? It's obviously very profitable." Gao Hang was puzzled.
"Because there are already a large number of similar products on the market, and the price is not expensive, so even if "Y's" releases similar peripherals, it may not necessarily have high sales. Besides, no company has proposed to the magazine. Authorization application, it is impossible for the magazine to publish this kind of peripherals for the time being."
Shen Xin nodded slightly. Compared with other popular comics, "Y's" lacked accumulation, and it was not a good choice to release peripheral products hastily.
After listening to Yan Fei's explanation, Gao Hang drank a whole glass of beer in depression.
The people at the same table laughed loudly, and the atmosphere in the room became more lively.
While everyone was focusing on the food in front of them, Yan Fei winked at Shen Xin and glanced at the door.
Shen Xin understood, stood up from her seat, and left the room, followed by Yan Fei.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xin asked.
"Should you consider the second meeting with the president? The magazine is going to release the fourth volume in June. Before that, you should discuss the follow-up cooperation with the president first?"
