Chapters 3-6 of "Steel Refining" tell about "The City of Carbon Mines" and "The Battle on the Car" respectively, which are two words piecemeal.

In "Steel Forge 03", because Aunt Niu only drew part of the comics, this part of the content was also sandwiched in the animation, but when "Steel Forge FA" was produced, most of the "Steel Harden" comics had been completed, so these two words were omitted by "FA".

After these words were published, Shen Xin also had a certain psychological preparation for the results of these four words.

Reality did not "disappoint" Shen Xin.

The small book of "Comic Future" basically hovered around fourth or fifth, and the ranking of "Shonen Leap" was more realistic, falling directly to sixth and seventh, so that some editors wondered whether it was worth it for "Shonen Leap" to spend so much energy to introduce "Steel".

These doubts were directly suppressed by Murakami.

There are highs and lows in the creation of comics, which is a very normal thing, and ordinary people will have a hot head, let alone serialized works.

"Editor-in-chief, the original manuscript of 'Game' has been passed here."

Ishizawa opened the email and downloaded the original manuscript of the packaged Game.

"Proofread the content for errors and send it to the printing house." Murakami leaned back on the back of the chair and said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"Also, Yokoi, has the original manuscript of Episode 8 of "Steel" been proofread?" Murakami asked Yokoi again.

"Well, episode 8 has been calibrated."

"Got it, with Game, send it to the printing house." Murakami admonished.

"Yes. By the way, Editor-in-Chief, Comic Future is ready to start printing the first volume of Steel. Yokoi thought about the one-lining.

"So fast?"

Murakami was stunned, I felt that "Steel" hadn't been serialized for long, why was there a single book?

"Editor-in-chief, the first two sentences of "Steel Refining" are more than forty pages, and the number of words is of course less. Moreover, "Comic Future" has great expectations for this manga, and the sixth episode has just been published, and it is preparing a single book for the first volume. Yokoi reminded.

"I see...... Alas, I don't know how many copies will be given by the sales department. "Murakami has no confidence.

……

"Shonen Leap" did not give a clear number of copies, but the sales department of "Comic Future" directly showed the hole cards.

"500,000 copies!?"

Shang Haozhi looked at the report sent by Jiang Zhong and was overjoyed.

"Let me tell you, Mr. Bao is also very optimistic about the results of "Steel Forge...... You're under a lot of pressure. Jiang Zhong reminded.

"No, I think that's what Steelforge should be. You forget, "Chess Soul" also surprised many people when it was not favored. Shang Haozhi said with a smile.

"I'm just reminding you. By the way, it's expected that Steelforge will be released in two weeks, and before that, you can promote it in the magazine. ”

Shang Haozhi nodded, and was just about to agree, when he accidentally saw Wang Wenhong raise his hand.

"What's wrong? Xiao Wang. Shang Haozhi was surprised.

"Editor-in-chief, Manager Jiang......" Wang Wenhong got up, walked in front of the two, and looked at Shang Haozhi, "It will be released in two weeks, and it is the 8th episode of "Steel Refining". ”

"What's wrong with Episode 8?" Jiang Zhong asked rhetorically.

Shang Haozhi didn't react for a while.

"Synthetic Beast ......" Wang Wenhong nodded, but his expression was a little nervous.

The content of the first 6 chapters of "Steel Chain" is quite relaxed, but the style of the 7th and 8th chapters has suddenly changed.

Tucker turned a cute little girl and a dog into a synthetic beast, and when he first saw this, Wang Wenhong's heart was like being smashed in the chest by an iron fist.

It's a temptation. The bottom line of sexuality.

At that time, he proposed to change this sentence, but Shen Xin insisted on doing so, which gave him a headache.

In the end, he didn't fight Shen Xin, so he could only choose to compromise, and for this reason, he was ridiculed by Yan Fei.

If a single book is released shortly after the release of episode 8, it is obvious that the sales of volume 1 will definitely suffer.

For normal people, the Synthesizer incident is like a fish bone stuck in the throat, which makes them extremely uncomfortable.

Shang Haozhi also remembered this episode, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Take the name of the 9th and 10th episodes of "Steel", I'll take a look." Shang Haozhi commanded.

Wang Wenhong immediately turned around, printed out the name of the last two words, and handed it to Shang Haozhi.

Shang Haozhi quickly flipped through the name of the last two words, and his expression eased, "Manager Jiang, the single book will be pushed back for two weeks, and the 10th episode will be released after it is published." ”

"Yes, our salespeople will also go to various bookstores to conduct research, and we hope that the first edition of 500,000 copies will be sold smoothly." Jiang Zhong said.

"No problem, I'll ask Xiao Wang to follow this matter too."

Shang Haozhi stood up and sent Jiang Zhong out of the editorial office.

Wang Wenhong breathed a sigh of relief, and just turned around, but saw Jian Xiaomei glaring at him.

"What's wrong?" Wang Wenhong was surprised.

"The release date of the single book of "Steel" and "Hunting the Abyss" are next to each other." Jian Xiaomei complained.

"Huh?"

"Originally, there was a five-day gap between the two books. Steelforge debuted on the fifth day after the release of Hunting the Abyss...... I really hate you. Jian Xiaomei bit her lip, helpless.

The first week of the release of the single book tends to have the highest sales, and the fifth day is the tail of the week. "Steel" is on sale here, and both manga are destined to be affected.

"That ......" Wang Wenhong rubbed his forehead, "coincidence...... It's pure coincidence. ”

Yan Fei listened to the conversation between the two and shook her head helplessly.

Sometimes, it is inevitable that the single books of their own magazines "fight" with each other.

At noon, Wang Wenhong bought a glass of Coke and a hamburger to take back to the editorial office. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he unexpectedly found Yan Fei squatting at the door of the living room.

"Yan Fei, what's wrong?" Wang Wenhong said curiously.

Yan Fei turned her head and looked at Wang Wenhong with a crimson face, her eyes were bright, and her eyebrows showed joy.

"It's so cute—"

Huh?

Wang Wenhong's heart tightened, how could this woman say this? It's completely unprepared.

Then, a girl with two pigtails appeared in his field of vision.

The little girl was only three or four years old, her eyes were dark and bright, her skin was fair, and her little face was slightly round, she should be baby fat.

It didn't mean that he was ...... It's really cute, though.

"This ...... Who is it? Wang Wenhong watched the child enter the house with a curious expression.

"The daughter of a cartoonist, Xu Jie's." Yan Fei stood up, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the living room, "He seems to have submitted a new name, I don't know if he can pass." ”

"Oh...... Is that Zuo Yuan? The one who painted "Mountain God"? Wang Wenhong was surprised.

"How do you know?"

"Curious, and then, I discussed this work with Mr. Shen."

"What did he say?"

"Commercialization is insufficient, and authors should broaden their horizons." Wang Wenhong explained.

Really......

Yan Fei sighed, Shen Xin's evaluation was the same as hers.
