Rebirth of the God of Comics

Zhou Wei is a bookstore owner, the only thing he wants to do now is to lie under the quilt and sleep more. The weather forecast said yesterday that the temperature will drop sharply today, and as expected, it has dropped several degrees today. If he had a choice, Zhou Wei would definitely choose to stay in a warm bed. Unfortunately, he is a bookstore owner, and closing the door for one day means losing one day's income.

Even so, he opened the shop much later than usual. And when he opened the shop, he was taken aback by what he saw.

"Boss, why did you only open the door now? It caused us to wait outside for a long time."

"Boss, bring me a copy of the latest Manke Weekly."

"Boss, I also want the latest Manke Weekly."

In front of Zhou Wei's eyes, a large group of people crowded together. They were noisy, but they all asked for "Manke Weekly" by name.

"What day is today?" Zhou Wei thought for a while, it seemed to be an ordinary Wednesday, nothing special. As for the "Manke Weekly" they want, Zhou Wei also has the impression that it seems to be a new magazine. However, the sales volume a while ago was not very good. It can't be compared with the magazines of Lotte Club. Why did so many people buy it all of a sudden?

"You all want Manke Weekly?" Zhou Wei asked uncertainly.

"Of course, hurry up, boss, I'm still waiting to watch "Slam Dunk"." One person said in the crowd. His words resonated with everyone in the crowd, and everyone shouted: "Yes, boss, hurry up, we are all waiting to watch "Slam Dunk"."

"Hey, okay, okay, I'll bring the latest issue of "Manke Weekly" right away." Zhou Wei hurriedly moved out the latest issue of "Manke Weekly" with doubts, and soon he The ones that were moved out were sold out, and the popularity has never been seen since he opened the store for so long.

Many people came to his store intermittently, all of them came to inquire about the magazine Manke Weekly. When they got the negative news from Zhou Wei, they all showed a disappointed expression. Among them was a couple The young couple quarreled.

"Yang Cheng, I told you to get up early to buy "Manke Weekly", you tend to oversleep, now it's better, it's all sold out, we've searched for so many stores but there are none, what do you think?" The girl put her hands on her hips, Said angrily.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoya, I accidentally overslept. Besides, I also want to see how strong the Immortal Dao in Lingnan is. I definitely didn't not buy it on purpose." The boy explained cautiously.

"Xiandao is definitely not as powerful as Rukawa Feng." The girl first defended her idol in this way, and then said: "I have no choice but to look again."

After speaking, the two walked out of the gate of Zhou Wei Bookstore.

Zhou Wei has been running a bookstore for so many years, and he has never encountered a situation where all the customers who come to the door are looking for a magazine like now. Interesting comics generate interest.

"Next week, I have to pay attention to buying more "Manke Weekly." Thinking this way, he took out the last "Manke Weekly" reserved in advance from under the bookcase, took it out and started to read stand up.

"I want to see how good this "Slam Dunk" is!"

······

Chen Ze didn't know that his comics had already caused a sensation in the outside world. After finishing his night shift yesterday, he immediately fell asleep when he came back. It wasn't until 6 o'clock in the afternoon that he woke up with the ringing of the phone.

"Hey,

who! "Chen Ze answered the phone in a daze. During this period of time, he worked night shift while drawing comics. It was really hard work. Fortunately, he is a reborn person, and he doesn't have to conceive plots and characters like other cartoonists, so he reluctantly Also can handle it.

But he has already made up his mind, after a while, when "Slam Dunk" becomes popular, he will quit his night shift job.

"I have good news for you. It's popular. Your painting "Slam Dunk" is very popular." A woman's excited voice came from the other side of the phone, and this voice was familiar to Chen Ze.

Who is this? Chen Ze was puzzled for a while, but he quickly realized that such a nice voice should be Lin Lan, the editor-in-chief of the new animation magazine. Chen Ze was very impressed with her voice. Generally, such a nice voice is not something that a beautiful woman can make.

"What did you say?" Chen Ze asked, just now he was in a daze just trying to figure out who it was, but he didn't understand what it was about.

"I said it's popular, "Slam Dunk" is very popular." Lin Lan said excitedly on the other end of the phone.

As the boss of the new animation magazine, she has been paying attention to the sales volume of her "Manke Weekly" magazine. Although the sales volume has not increased rapidly in the recent period, it has been growing steadily. And there are more and more people leaving comments who like to watch "Slam Dunk".

However, when the sales of the new issue of the magazine came out today, she was shocked. The 200,000 copies of the pre-sale were sold out in the morning, and the printing factory worked overtime to catch up with the printing. It turned out that it sold 600,000 copies. Although even Rakuten Club's fraction may not be comparable, but this can be regarded as a small climax of the new animation.

Especially according to market surveys, those who came to buy "Manke Weekly" basically came for "Slam Dunk". Thinking of the faces of everyone in the editorial department who had just seen the news, Lin Lan felt proud for a while. Let you laugh at me secretly, now you know who is the idiot.

Lin Lan is very happy with the achievements of "Slam Dunk", which is the best proof of her vision. After deliberately slapping her editors in the face with the grades, she immediately called Chen Ze. In any case, Chen Ze was excavated by her, and it is also the key for her to surpass the Lotte Club. Of course, it is necessary to establish a good relationship.

"Really?" Chen Ze said, his tone very calm. He has seen how popular this slam dunk is in his previous life, so he is very confident about whether he can be popular here. Although they are two different worlds, he believes that masterpieces can shine wherever they are, and they will never fade with time and space. This is the difference between masterpieces and ordinary works.

Of course, Chen Ze's calm tone surprised Lin Lan, this guy must be too calm. If it were an ordinary cartoonist, knowing that the comics he worked so hard to draw finally became popular, he would jump up without being excited. If he hadn't read the copy of Chen Ze's ID card when signing the contract, and knew that he was only twenty years old, he might have thought he was an old man.

"Of course, our latest issue of the magazine has sold 600,000 copies. And according to the survey, basically all the customers are looking for your "Slam Dunk". It has been a long time since you have appeared in our comic circle. You are a newcomer." Lin Lan said, "You are not as good as those old masters now, but as long as you can maintain your standards, you will definitely be promoted to a first-line painter."

Lin Lan has her own reasons for daring to say such a thing. She vaguely remembers that except for the top few cartoons that are popular among first-line artists, the rest do not have the momentum of Chen Ze's slam dunk. Lin Lan is sure that with the current sales momentum of 600,000, it will definitely be able to break through one million in the future, and it is not impossible to even break the standard line of five million that is a super masterpiece.

"Then Mr. Chen, let's talk about the price increase."

Lin Lan's words caught Chen Ze's attention. When she first signed the contract with Chen Ze, she mentioned a price increase mechanism, which she invented to help new animation retain potential painters. Now that Chen Ze's "Slam Dunk" has shown the potential of a masterpiece, of course she wants to use this to keep Chen Ze.

In the end, Lin Lan increased the price to 800 Huaxia coins per painting, fully double the initial price. In his previous life, Chen Ze was just a street cartoonist, and he only got the cheapest price. Therefore, the price and sincerity offered by Lin Lan made him very satisfied.
