In December, the comic industry in China tended to be calm compared to last year.

Last year, the appearance of the "Golden Brush" award really scared a large number of people, as for this year, the prize money of the "Golden Brush" award has shrunk by 40%, and the difficulty of winning the award has also increased by more than one grade compared with last year, so everyone's attention is a little smaller.

But even if it shrinks again, the prize money of the "Golden Brush" award is 3 million yuan.

Everyone didn't say anything on the surface, they were just grinding their fists in private.

This time is different from the last time, until November next year, the deadline for submission, and even after the submission date, you can participate in the next Golden Brush Award, which gives authors more choice.

Instead of rushing to create a manga, it is better to be patient and create a good manga, just like "Dream Fairy".

As a result, even in December, only a few dozen people submitted comics.

Comic Future finally stabilized, with magazine sales hovering around 4.8 million copies.

"King of Rock and Roll" is stable after the revival, and it is in a scorching period of competition for second place with "Hunting Abyss".

The battle for four or five places is equally inseparable, and two food-related comics are in a bitter battle.

"Ding Food" is an authentic food comic, its highlight is the super realism, because of the drawing of the dishes, so that many people have a great appetite, and similarly, the appearance of a variety of food, but also for those readers who have not studied food before, eye-opening.

Two or three of the eight major cuisines in China have appeared, and there are also exquisite foods such as French food and Keju sushi in Zone 11 abroad, and the fierce competition quickly increased the popularity of the entire manga.

At the same time, this manga has also attracted a lot of food lovers, and some people who have never been exposed to manga have also turned their attention to this manga.

"Otherworldly Restaurant" is another type of food comic, which is mainly funny and adventurous throughout the whole process, making full use of the bridge of stepping on people and slapping their faces, making the plot twists and turns.

As a part-time chef, the protagonist will go to the Valley of Warcraft to find ingredients, and in the process of adventure, he encounters many dangers, but relies on his extreme and strength to finally save the day.

These two comics, although they have the same subject matter, have different emphases, so the competition between them is also interesting.

Since "Ding Shi" is a new serialized comic, it is always inferior to "Otherworldly Restaurant" in terms of popularity, so it is temporarily ranked fourth.

The magazine apparently saw the potential of Ding Shi and stepped up the production of a single edition of the first volume of Ding Shi, and at the same time, prepared to go on sale in the first week of the year.

The manga at the peak of "Comic Future" is still "Steelcore", although it did not increase the number of votes with the later comics, but it is not realistic for other comics to catch up with "Steelcore".

In the most recent episodes of "Steel", Scar travels north to find his brother's notebook. Bradley released Kimberley and told him to hunt down Scar and retrieve Margo who had escaped.

On the other hand, after seeing alchemy, Edward was also trying to use alchemy instead of the Philosopher's Stone to restore his body, so he and Al were also looking for Zhang Mei and Xiaomei, but they were confused.

Fortunately, Lieutenant General Gulaman, who disguised himself as an old woman, accidentally met Zhang Mei who was heading north at the station, so he told Roy about it, and through Abstron's mouth, he relayed the news to the Ellik brothers, which led to Abstrant's sister, "The North Wall of Briguz", Major General Olivia Mira Armstrong.

Kimberley chased after Scar all the way, but accidentally landed on Scar's path and was seriously injured.

Zhang Mei and Margo, who were separated from Skayuki's soldiers, found the notebook left by Ska's brother according to the map drawn by Ska.

The Elrik brothers arrived at the Northern Fortress, were ambushed by the garrison, became prisoners, and were escorted by soldiers, and the two men met Major General Olivia.

The appearance of a new female character caused a stir among the readership, who shouted "Queen".

Shen Xin has long been mentally prepared for Olivia to get this title, in the original book, she is the queen, and because of the cold surface, calm personality, and the image of the queen's temperament, it is also in line with the reader's positioning of it, so it can be accepted by the reader in a short period of time.

With the Ellik brothers coming to the northern fortress of Briguz, the plot of the story is about to usher in the next climax.

Shen Xin was convinced of this.

At the same time, the single volume of Steel Forge Volume 15 was released in the third week of December, and the sales of a single volume reached 950,000 copies in a single week, although not as good as the sales of Volume 14, but in December, this sales were still outstanding.

Wang Yunze smiled when he saw this number.

Last month, the total sales of "Steelcore" exceeded 2.3 million copies, and considering that Volume 15 is involved in the "Rebellion of Ishvar" and there are also a lot of transitional plots, this one should not sell as well as Volume 14. But even so, if it exceeds 2 million copies, it shouldn't be a big problem, which is almost a step away from the comics of its pictures.

Wang Wenhong stretched his waist, picked up the teacup, put some tea leaves, and got up and came to the pantry outside the editorial office.

At the door of the pantry, Yan Fei was on the phone, with a serious expression.

When he came back from the hot water, Yan Fei also put away his mobile phone, but his expression was still not relaxed.

"What's wrong?"

"Isn't "Ding Food" going to sell books soon? Talk to both teachers. ”

"The two teachers are not newcomers, are they still nervous?"

"Nonsense, not long ago, the new book "Steel Forge" was released, aren't you nervous?"

"Of course I'm nervous, the bet with Bao Dong is still there! However, Mr. Shen didn't look too nervous. Wang Wenhong raised his head and recalled.

“……”

Yan Fei raised her head and thought about it, Shen Xin was indeed rarely nervous about the sales of single books, and it was estimated that he was used to it.

"The momentum of "Ding Shi" is on the rise...... Right? At this time, if there is an animation released, it is difficult to squeeze out "King of Rock". Wang Wenhong said again.

Yan Fei hurriedly waved his hand: "Just squeeze out "The King of Rock and Roll", it's not realistic to talk about it now, "Ding Shi" is only a dozen words, at least seventy or eighty words, before you can consider making animation, otherwise, it will affect the creation of the work." ”

That's just as well.

Wang Wenhong nodded.

"Although there are animation companies now, they are already playing the idea of the animation copyright of "Ding Shi". Yan Fei then added.

“……”

Boom!

Wang Wenhong said silently in his heart.

"However, the two authors actually already have a certain popularity, and the quality of the comics is not bad, so I am somewhat confident. Actually, the person I'm worried about now is Mr. Zuo. ”

"Huh?"

"Next week's "Youth Future", there will be Mr. Zuo's work." The smile on Yan Fei's face was a little stiff.

is not favored by the editor-in-chief and team leader, and she doesn't dare to decide what kind of results Zuo Yuan's new work can achieve.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
