Chapter 144 Gradually Becomes Clear

Netizens don't care about Ye Hexu's real thoughts.

The competition for the newcomer award is already at a fever pitch. Even if the netizens don't add fuel and jealousy, each author is still in a state of tension.

Ye Hexu's new book launch and Weibo added a layer of hot oil to this tense atmosphere.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

Gao Hang had two dark circles under his eyes, and his head was covered with cold sweat.

Shen Xin also shrugged helplessly, "Cold salad."

It doesn't matter whether Ye Hexu's explanation is true or not, the reality is that "Y's" and "Hunting Abyss" will definitely influence each other.

The manga of "Hunting Abyss" is still on the air, and there are still three episodes left, which are the most essential part of a drama. After watching two episodes, Shen Xin feels excited, let alone other animation fans.

The sales of "Hunting Abyss" have been soaring, and it is also closely related to the high-level production of animation, which successfully drove the sales of "Shaky".

"Y's" is also doing very well.

The pinnacle duel of fan comics brought "New World" a very high popularity, and the sales of the magazine once exceeded 110 copies, which gave Song Tai the hope of the magazine's rise, but after the championship was produced, the sales of "New World" fell back again. 950,000 volumes.

Thanks to this competition, "Y's" has always maintained a good popularity, and there are endless long comments related to "Y's", and there are even analysis posts to discuss the final direction of each female character.

Although the sales volume of "Y's" has been surpassed by "Hunting Abyss", the readers' stickiness is extremely high, with 300,000 voters every day. Therefore, "Hunting Abyss" has been unable to close the gap with "Y's".

This time, two books are released one after the other, and it's hard not to let other people's imaginations run wild.

"How is your work?" Shen Xin asked Lu Ning.

Lu Ning let out a long breath and twisted her neck, "There are still three pages of manuscripts to be finished...Gao Hang, where are you?"

"Me? I may have another two days..." Gao Hang said nervously.

"Don't worry too much. After you finish painting, take a break first. Many cartoonists don't pay attention to taking care of their bodies. When they get older, they will suffer from many diseases. Therefore, you must combine work and rest."

This is not alarmist. Many cartoonists are not too old when they die. When the "God of Manga" Osamu Tezuka died, he was only 60 years old. When the author of "Doraemon", Fujiko F. Fujio, was only 63 years old.

From this point of view, cartoonists are indeed a high-risk industry.

After listening to Shen Xin's words, Gao Hang nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, teacher, you won't be doing book signings anymore?" Lu Ning suddenly remembered this.

"Well, I will sign some for a lucky draw. As for book signings, there may not be any."

It is impossible for Shen Xin to hold a book signing event every time a single book is published.

For the four-volume booklet that was released before, Shen Xin signed the book three times. If there are too many times, the effect will not be very good.

"Will readers have any opinions?" Gao Hang asked in surprise.

"That can't be helped. I need to take a breath." Shen Xin smiled, but still couldn't hide the tiredness on her face.

During this period of time, he felt a lot of pressure both mentally and physically, and "Y's" temporarily ranked fourth, but this ranking was not what he wanted.

In front of "Y's", whether it is "Hunting Abyss", "Top of Basketball", or "Punishment", the strength should not be underestimated. More importantly, these three comics come from the three major publications. ComicFuture and MangaFly.

For the past fifteen years, the Newcomer Award has been divided equally by the three major publications. This time, can "Y's" break this rule?

Shen Xin is very confident in the quality of "Y's", but what choice will the readers make?

And what kind of impact the game between magazines will have on "Y's" made him feel worried.

Even Shen Xin did not rule out that "Y's" would become a victim of the struggle between the two magazines.

When it was confirmed that the fifth volume of "Y's" would not hold an autograph session, many readers protested, and some expressed concerns about the future of the new booklet of "Y's".

On September 7th, the fifth volume of "Y's" was released. The fifth volume exceeded 100,000 copies on the first day, and reached 500,000 copies in the first week.

On the premise that there is no book signing event as a gimmick, the sales of "Y's" have already satisfied Shen Xin.

"Hunting Abyss" still maintains a strong popularity. The volume of the fourth volume reached 130,000 on the first day and 600,000 in the first week. popularity value.

But this is not the final ranking of the leaderboard.

"Top of Basketball" released the seventh volume of the booklet on September 14. With the blessing of anime, the sales volume of the new booklet of "Top of Basketball" reached 350,000 copies in the first week. "Y's" temporarily became the second place.

But it didn't sit in the second place for too long. The co-creation by Lu Ning, Gao Hang and Zhou Yang was also published in "NewWorld".

Shen Xin was pleasantly surprised when she saw the fan comics that the three of them worked together to complete.

The background is written by Gao Hang, the quality is unquestionable, and it fits the comics very well.

The fans drawn by Seven Grapefruits and Reverberation have a big lack of background. Although they are also drawing very seriously, they are still much worse than Gao Hang, who is a professional assistant.

This is not a shortcoming of their group. In fact, most of the fan artists, or new cartoonists, are not very good at drawing backgrounds, because background drawing not only requires solid basic skills, but also tempers the drawing skills. patience.

When a person spends a lot of time drawing the background and effect lines, he will feel very boring, so the patience of the painter is also very important.

In addition, Lu Ning's control over the characters has also improved a lot, and he can grasp the demeanor and feeling of the characters better than Seven Grapefruits and Reverberation.

Not to mention the storyboards designed by Zhou Yang. After all, he has become a professional cartoonist, and his understanding of storyboards is much better than that of his colleagues.

Shen Xin couldn't help nodding her head repeatedly for the work completed by the three of them together, and gave Lu Ning and Gao Hang a thumbs up at the same time.

The vote published by the magazine confirmed Shen Xin's guess. Among the 1,000 random questionnaires, the official colleagues won the final reward of 50,000 yuan with an absolute advantage of 634 to 366.

This high-quality fan comic has surprised the readers of "Y's". Long comments of more than 500 words have been posted on the forums of Manga.com one after another. The number of daily votes of "Y's" has also increased again. Breaking through 300,000 copies, the sales volume of the booklet also broke through to 150,000 copies within a week.

"Y's" once again surpassed "Top of Basketball" and became the second place on the rookie list.

As October got closer, the ranking of the rookie list gradually became clearer. ) Book friends, pay attention!
