Chapter 104: The Editors' Celebration Feast
"Cheers to the quick results!"
"Cheers!"
At eight o'clock in the evening, Ninghai's nightlife has just begun.
In one hotel, dozens of male and female editors sat at separate tables and held a lively celebration banquet.
"The company is finally generous, I haven't eaten a free meal for a long time!"
"Thank you for this, thank you, what a pity teacher!"
"It's so refreshing, I didn't expect the teacher to create a sales miracle again, this year is a bumper year."
The editors from the juvenile department of Phoenix Company were all very excited, and Sun Yang toasted to Ye Xiong on behalf of the other editors and said: "Editor-in-chief, this glass of wine has to be toasted to you, if it weren't for your fancy to the teacher, we wouldn't have this meal." ”
Ye Xiong got up and finished drinking with him, and then said with a smile: "It's just a meal now, and when the total sales come out, the company will hold a formal celebration banquet, so you just wait to get the gift bag." ”
Package, as soon as I heard the word, the editors were even more excited.
"Editor-in-chief, I heard that "Detective Conan" sold 780,000 copies on the first day, can you get better results than the first volume?"
"It's a little better, but it's hard to exceed 9 million ......"
Ye Xiong replied that the sales of the second volume of "Detective Conan" have not made great progress on the basis of the first volume, and there is no way, the sales of the first volume are already very high.
Moreover, the first volume of the first volume of the signature manga was also more heavily advertised than the second volume, and posters could be seen everywhere at that time. And this sale, the company did not do a lot of publicity, and "Detective Conan" entered a stable period, and the readership group gradually fixed.
"Men over there, you won this time, but don't forget that we will soon be able to overtake you!"
Not far away, a female editor with sharp ears heard Ye Xiong's words, raised her voice and smiled. This time, the sales of "Inuyasha" broke the single record for a shoujo manga, and the total sales may exceed 7 million copies. Although it is not as good as "Detective Conan", its future sales growth potential is much greater, "Detective Conan" maintains a long-term serialization through boring cases, and the progress of the main line is very slow, and readers will slowly lose interest.
And "Inuyasha" is a manga with a plot development, and it will become more and more exciting over time, with more and more readers, and it is inevitable that the sales of a single book will surpass that of "Detective Conan" in the future.
"More than a single book is also more than a single book, "Detective Conan" will be serialized for a longer time, and the total sales will blow you up!"
A male editor of Weekly Teenager retorted that the advantage of the "Detective Conan" model is that it can keep drawing and create benefits for a long time.
"This is not necessarily, the market adaptability of Inuyasha is better than yours, and it is likely that there will be a divine turn and sales will increase significantly!"
Not to be outdone, the two began to exchange words.
Teacher Hua Meng looked at them with a smile, as He Xi's assistant, she and Teacher Tomato were both on the scene, they were the only two cartoonists, she looked at Situ Xue, the editor-in-chief of the girl comics next to her.
"Editor-in-chief, the sales of these two comics are very hot, do you know how much money the teacher can get?"
She asked curiously.
"The preliminary estimate should be more than 30 million." Situ Xue said with a smile, she remembered the unkind teacher He Xi, his talent is really difficult to measure: "But "Five Centimeters per Second" is not under our control, we don't know how to report its quick results, if it is not very bad, all of them should add up to more than 40 million." ”
"40 million!"
The female editors around them exclaimed, this number is too high, even best-selling authors can hardly make so much money, they have never thought about it.
"Good, so good......"
"It's a pity that the teacher is the company's No. 1 tyrant!"
Some female editors had stars in their eyes, and even the waiter who served the food almost fell down when she heard their words, spilling most of the soup on the table, and she apologized in a panic: "I'm sorry, I'll wipe ...... right away"
Holding a rag while wiping, the waiter was very envious in his heart, although he didn't understand it very well, but the people who played culture were just amazing and made so much money.
The female editors didn't care about the waiter either, and their eyes quickly focused on Situ Xue.
"Editor-in-chief, you're stunned, there must be a lot of bonuses! Tell us how much the prize is! ”
"What's the bonus, I'm a hard editor." Situ Xue's face turned red, and she made a trick to transfer flowers and trees: "You have to ask Teacher Huameng, she is an assistant, why is it a pity that the teacher said that he would give her and Teacher Tomato 200,000 each!" ”
"What!"
"Teacher Huameng, is it true!?"
The editors drooled and looked at Hua Meng.
“…… It's true. Hua Meng nodded awkwardly: "It's a pity that the teacher said that he couldn't make us hard." ”
She was also very happy in her heart, 200,000 yuan would take several months for her to get. And this money is not important, the important thing is to represent the kindness of He Xi, and his kindness determines that Hua Meng can learn more things, such as how to draw the theme of a magical girl, that is what Hua Meng wants......
"I have to study seriously with Teacher He Xi in the future."
"That's right, Huameng, you're too competitive, you're the only one who defeated the weekly boy!" An editor praised loudly, she patted Hua Meng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tomato over there, he is also an assistant, but his Gundam just didn't pass, Ha Luha, it's really enjoyable!" ”
Female editors are generally hostile to male editors, both are in the same company, but many resources have to compete with each other, and so far, it has been the weekly teenagers who have the advantage.
So as soon as someone beats the weekly boy, the female editor will have a thrill of raising her eyebrows.
"Tomato-sensei?"
Hua Meng also knew about the failure of the tomato, she turned her head to look at the table of the weekly boy, and the tomato teacher pulled an editor to chat, although there was not much unusual look, but the frequency of drinking was higher than usual.
"He's going to be fine, right?"
Hua Meng was a little worried, and when the meeting ended, she paid attention to Mr. Tomato, and sure enough, she saw him walking staggeringly, so she couldn't help but walk over and support him.
"Tomato teacher, you're fine, are you?"
The other editors looked at each other in amazement.
"Is Teacher Huameng usually so proactive?"
"It doesn't seem like so, she has a gentle temperament, and even if she sees this kind of scene, she won't pass by herself."
Situ Xue's eyes were thoughtful, and she smiled: "Hua Meng is so active, it seems that she has a good impression of Teacher Tomato." ”
"Favorable?"
Some editors are puzzled.
"Well, yes, Teacher Hua Meng divorced a few years ago, and Teacher Tomato is still single, you all know what I mean......"
"Huh?"
The other editors looked at the two men, and they had hope?
"Forget it, what the parties think, don't care so much."
"Yes, have you heard of it, the company has a new young owner."
