Rebirth of the God of Comics

Chapter 5 Mediocre Response?

"This is a cartoon about basketball, and it is also a group of high school students sweating about their dreams. It is the best interpretation of friendship. Maybe you don't know what basketball is, but after reading this cartoon, I think you will fall in love with it This sport, this is "Slam Dunk". In short, I want to say: the genius Sakuragi is here, what are you waiting for?"

Chen Ze looked at the beginning of his cartoon, there was a recommendation above, and the bottom indicated that it was written by a person named Lin Lan. Lin Lan? Isn't he the boss and editor-in-chief of the new animation magazine, and now he is also his own boss? Chen Ze remembered the phone call from Lin Lan that day. Although the two of them didn't talk about anything after that, her voice was still very nice.

Generally speaking, women with better voices are often not very good-looking. Chen Ze thought to himself, he guessed that his female boss was also not very good-looking. But no matter what, she still attaches great importance to herself, and even wrote her own recommendation on it.

After thanking Lin Lan in his heart, he began to flip through the magazine. The printing is pretty good, and apart from my own comics, there are one or two articles that are not bad.

After reading the magazine, Chen Ze made such an evaluation in his heart. In his previous life, he was an otaku who read countless comics. Although he couldn't draw himself, he was quite sensitive to whether the comics were good or not. He read this "Comic Weekly". In addition to his "Slam Dunk", there is also a story about a teenager looking for his mother. Although the overall picture and camera are still a little immature, the story is very good , Chen Ze himself is willing to read on.

"Looking at this new animation, the editors are still quite discerning." Chen Ze stroked his chin. Of course he was happy about this situation. The more discerning the editor, the better the social development of the magazine. The more promising.

But what he didn't know was that Lin Lan personally ordered all the manuscripts. If he had a vision, I'm afraid that all the editors combined could not compare to her.

······

"I heard that the sales of the new issue of our "Manke Weekly" have come out?" In the new animation magazine, a young man in his twenties sat on an office chair, slid to his colleague, and asked in a low voice. .

His colleague with a mustache, about thirty or forty years old, glanced at Lin Lan's office and said in a low voice, "Yes, the sales volume is very average. Let me say that our boss is still too young. It’s too bad. If you have to go against the market, what are the three principles of passion, hard work, and friendship? Who cares about that thing these days, don’t all the men go for the flesh and the women for the rot.”

The editor in his thirties was the one who wanted to eliminate Chen Ze's "Slam Dunk" a few days ago, and he looked down on Lin Lan. He curled his lips and continued: "And that's all, she even hired the basketball cartoon. Don't say that I have been in the comics industry for more than ten years, even a new editor who just entered the industry should know Anime themes, especially basketball, are absolutely forbidden, and her boss doesn’t even know about it.”

"At that time, I advised her that she still didn't listen. You see, now that the investigation report has come out to confirm my words, most readers simply skip this manga. They don't even read it, and they think it's a loss to buy our magazine. Because there is a manga that I don’t know how to read to take up the space.”

"But who told us that our boss is a rich second generation? If you are stupid and rich, just do your best. I don't know how many people in the whole company want to laugh at her."

Lin Lan was very annoying in the office, and she was in a bad mood right now. She looked at the sales of the latest issue of "Manke Weekly" on the table, only tens of thousands of copies were sold. For a new magazine,

This sales can only be considered average. As a big country of comics, China is even worse than the island country in the previous life. Top magazines like Lotte Club can sell millions of copies of a magazine. Compared with this, Lin Lan's achievements are not really good. what.

If it weren't for the bet with her father, judging from the current sales volume, she is confident that her magazine will be able to compete with Lotte within five to ten years. But there are only three years, three years, and it is impossible for him to become an industry leader without making a surprise move.

This is also the reason why she signed Chen Ze's "Slam Dunk". She didn't have time to make the magazine bigger step by step, so she could only hope to find the dust-covered pearl. Just like Lotte Club, it was just a small club at the beginning. Because of the discovery of Li Mingyang, who is now the number one god in the field of comics, with the unprecedented popularity of his debut work "Holy Hunter", he defeated the old magazine Ji in one fell swoop. Houshe has become the largest magazine and has firmly held the number one for 20 years.

But the dusty pearl is so easy to find, Lin Lan flipped through the magazines in her hand, and the market feedback of the comics she had carefully selected and signed some time ago was not very good, especially the ones she signed against. "Slam Dunk", readers basically skipped it without even reading it.

After this result came out, Lin Lan knew that many old editors in this industry in the company looked like she was joking. Although they were the boss, they didn't dare to laugh at their choice in front of themselves, but they probably laughed at her behind their backs.

But even so, Lin Lan still believes in her own vision, "Slam Dunk" will definitely become a big opportunity for her, the current weakness is only due to the limited subject matter, and this situation will definitely turn around in a short time.

Soon the time for the second week came. During this period, Chen Ze handed over the manuscript to his editor early. The sales volume of "Manke Weekly" magazine this week was counted again, and it was still only tens of thousands. In the reader feedback questionnaire, most of the impressions of "Slam Dunk" were still skipped, which made more people in the company laugh at Lin Lan behind her back.

After Lin Lan got the new data, she analyzed it carefully. Indeed, most people still only "skip" and "not interested" in "Slam Dunk", but the impressions of "good-looking", "looking forward to", "the author speeds up updates" and so on began to increase from almost none to some .

"Sure enough, my vision is right. As long as we persevere, there will be a way out." Although the data of a survey is nothing, it makes Lin Lan more confident in her judgment. Of course she knew that everyone in the company was making fun of her as a female boss for her incompetence, bad vision, and just a second-generation idiot rich. She wanted to use "Slam Dunk" to prove who was the idiot.

In the next month or so, Lin Lan continued to pay close attention to the feedback on the readers' opinions of "Slam Dunk". Sure enough, as she guessed, fewer and fewer people wrote "not good-looking" and "not interested", and more and more people filled in "like", "Rukawa Kaede" and "Epic God", although the latter ones are more popular than the former ones. Still only an absolute minority. But the number of people is increasing, and there is a trend of explosive growth.

But looking at the data in his hand, Lin Lan suddenly had a premonition that the popularity of "Slam Dunk" should not be far away.
