Chapter 14 Questionnaire

The publication of "Equation of Love" caused quite a stir in Yunhai, a small city.

Yan Yu knew that this comic had been recognized by many people, and the editor-in-chief had mentioned it in the editorial department more than once.

When "Weekly Dreamer" is about to come, the editor-in-chief will only look a little better when he mentions "Equation of Love".

"The questionnaire is out!" the deputy editor-in-chief shouted as soon as he entered the editorial office.

Yan Fang, who was working, immediately raised his head and looked at the deputy editor-in-chief who walked to the printer.

"I'm really nervous... It would be great if Shen Xin could be serialized." Xiaoli whispered close to Yan Qu's ear.

"Be patient... I hope he can get a good ranking." Yan Kun replied in a low voice.

While the two were talking, the deputy editor-in-chief came over and handed the copied questionnaire to Yan Yu.

"When will this newcomer be able to draw a serial draft? The editor-in-chief is looking forward to it."

"Huh?" Yan Fang rarely saw the deputy editor-in-chief speak so directly, "Can it be serialized?"

"Get the name up first, and then think about the serialization. It's best to hurry up." The deputy editor-in-chief urged.

"...Oh." Yan Yu nodded again and again, and when the deputy editor turned around and passed the remaining copy of the questionnaire to others, she asked Xiaoli in a low voice, "Why is the deputy editor in such a hurry?"

"Can you not be in a hurry? "Weekly Dreamer" is released today."

Yan Fang suddenly realized that the magazine executives were connected with each other, and they might have "declared war" in private, wanting to seize each other's weaknesses, and then deal a fatal blow.

"Looks like I need to talk to Shen Xin about the new manga." Yan Kun muttered in a low voice, and glanced at Xiao Li, who was sitting next to her, and saw her staring straight at the survey form in her hand, "What's wrong?"

"The support rate...the support rate on the survey form is so high..." Xiaoli said in surprise, pointing to the ranking on the survey form.

After Xiaoli's reminder, Yan Yu also moved his attention to the questionnaire.

The reader's questionnaire is generally divided into two parts, one part is the voting column for serial comics, and the other is the short story voting and reader reply area.

Under normal circumstances, serial comics have accumulated a certain amount of popularity, so their support rate is relatively fixed, and the number of people who are willing to vote for them will be more. The situation of short comics is much more embarrassing. It is difficult to attract readers' favor only by relying on forty or fifty pages of plots. Therefore, generally speaking, unless famous writers contribute, the votes will be very scattered.

This questionnaire is a bit different. Among the 1,000 questionnaires, more than 50% of the people voted for short comics, and among the 50%, 60% voted for Shen Xin.

In other words, without Shen Xin's cartoon, maybe only more than 200 people would vote for the short story.

"Why is this?" Yan Yu asked in surprise.

"My sister, you are his responsible editor, you should be clear about it!" Xiao Li glanced at Yan Fu angrily.

Yan Wei shook his head slightly, "I just think this comic is very good, but I didn't expect it to be so popular."

Editors usually can only judge the quality of a work based on experience, but whether a comic is really popular with readers depends on many factors, whether it is the subject matter, the depth of the story, or the artist of the cartoonist and the editor of the story. Ability, maybe even luck.

"and many more……"

She stood up suddenly.

"Hey, sister Yan, what are you doing?" Xiaoli asked quickly.

"Let's take a look at the survey questionnaire of this issue of the magazine." As soon as Yan Kun finished speaking, he had already left the editorial room.

There must be a reason for such a high turnout rate, not just because of the "meat" scene added, so she has to look at the age of the voting readers and the reasons for their voting.

Yan Yan came to the reference room, found out the readers' votes of the latest issue, and randomly checked nearly six or seven hundred questionnaires. The doubts in his heart gradually became clear.

She put the six or seven hundred questionnaires into a bag separately, hurried back to the editing room, and called Shen Xin.

"Hello, Shen Xin? Where are you?"

"At home, I'm drawing a name." Shen Xin said.

"New name?" Yan Yu asked in surprise.

The short story has just been published, but Shen Xin is drawing a new name, really diligent.

"Is that right?" Shen Xin's hair was black.

He heard the surprise in Yan Fang's words, but felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

In fact, he also has several alternative comics, but he has not yet decided which one to choose, so he drew a name randomly, on the one hand, hoping to find inspiration, on the other hand, he is practicing storyboarding.

Even if he wants to draw those comics that have already been published, he has to grow up every time he draws a storyboard, otherwise he is no different from a machine that can only draw.

"Bring your name, we will meet at Starbucks in two hours."

"Two hours later? Why did you choose this time?" Shen Xin glanced at the time, it was just noon now, and two hours later, it was the hottest time in summer.

It's really hard to go out at this time.

"I'm going to buy a magazine. Today is the first issue of "Weekly Dreamer". As opponents, we must know something about them. I think you also want to know what level Chen Zijiao's new work will be, right?"

Shen Xin responded, that's right.

"So, two hours later, meet me at Starbucks... To be honest, I don't know if I can grab it?"

Will "Dreamer" be such a hit?

Shen Xin was deeply suspicious of this, and after hanging up the phone, he went to the bookstore where Xi Muzhen worked part-time.

When Xi Muzhen saw Shen Xin, he was astonished. Shen Xin rarely came to this bookstore. After Shen Xin explained the purpose of coming, Xi Muzhen spread his hands out.

Sorry, it's sold out.

After the store manager knew that Shen Xin was the author of "The Love Equation", he immediately showed enthusiasm and called several nearby bookstores. As a result, "Dreamer" was all sold out.

Only then did Shen Xin realize that he had guessed wrong. After the revision of "Dreamer", it received unprecedented popularity.

There are reasons why this magazine is so popular.

First of all, the revision of the magazine has an inexplicable attraction for ordinary readers, which in the final analysis is the psychology of curiosity. However, whether they were readers of "Dreamer" before, they all want to see what the revised version of "Dreamer" looks like. At the same time, such magazines are also commemorative and valuable for collection.

Secondly, before the revision of "Dreamer", the magazine advertised in many media, which attracted the attention of many fans.

Again, it is the quality of the content. In the final analysis, if a magazine wants to sell well, its quality must be excellent. There is only one way to judge the quality of a magazine, that is, whether the comics are eye-catching. Obviously, the quality of this issue is very "hard".

Of course, the most important point is that the distributors did not expect that "Dreamer" would be a hit. To put it more bluntly, the stock was less.

Shen Xin can only order a copy at the bookstore, and come to pick up the magazine when it arrives.
