32 The second wave of feedback is getting better

As time passes day by day, several staff members are working hard in the studio where readers' feedback letters are received and counted in the editorial department of "Weekly Comic Dream".

Although there are many letters, they have prepared some necessary protective measures for safety reasons.

This is because in the early 1970s, a work was too silly to kill a popular supporting character in the comic without warning, causing an excited reader to send a blade to hide it in the letter.

Although the staff who opened the letter did not take care of the cuts and caused minor injuries, it still caused an uproar in the society. This was the first time that someone really became angry with the characters in the comics. Since then, the letter room staff of major comic magazines have worn protective gloves to unpack.

"Guo Fangsang, how are you there?"

"What else can it be? Maybe it's the same as you, Oshima San."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the rest of the personnel also stopped.

As the first contacts of the magazine's feedback letters, they were the first to know which works were so popular and which works were a hit.

This time, they did not receive mostly complaints from readers as before, but instead saw content praising the "Dragon Ball" in the letter.

Although most of them are short sentences such as "very good-looking", "Will Sun Wukong and Bulma get married?" "Come on!", letters with positive comments like this account for the vast majority, with only about one percent of negative comments.

The negative reviews are actually very strange. Most of them are "Can you have more" and "I don't want to watch adventures, I want to watch more fights" and so on. Strictly speaking, this is not a negative review, but a suggestion.

"Miss Lengshui... This is a treasure that I have found..."

"That's right, you see the faces of Matsunochi Ichima and Toroshita Yuichi..."

"Who told their opponent to win a big victory, and who called Yuichi Toshima's new serialized work completely failed? Look, this letter refers to Yuichi Toshima's work "The Strongest One"..."

"I thought the protagonist was bullied at the beginning, and after learning martial arts from his master, he made great progress, so he could beat those guys, but before he could take action in the second chapter, he was beaten up by the enemy's master again. That's fine. After the third chapter failed, he found that the master was killed. The master's daughter and the protagonist's fiancée were captured, and then he was killed on the spot when the protagonist arrived. I would like to ask, Mr. Huxia, you will kill the protagonist's girlfriend's fiancée in every work. Has your wife cheated on you before?"

“…”

“…”

The people around were still chuckling, but after listening to the last reader's words that were actually cursing, they all became speechless.

Because this reader really said that Yuichi Torashita is 35 years old, which was three years ago. He relied on a movie "Rainman of Revenge". He was a miserable cartoonist before and needed to work two jobs to support his life.

His wife was still very considerate, but she had been doing ten years of her husband drawing cartoons and going out to work every day, and she had no sweet life at all, so she finally couldn't help cheating.

And it's addicted!

As a result, after cheating many times, they were discovered and told Yuichi Toroshita. The two divorced after a quarrel.

Yuichi Toshita almost left the house with his son, and then drew "Rain of Revenge" in grief and anger, but it actually received a lot of praise. He went from being the last in Dream to the author of the middle-class, and his drawing also received a level of 50,000 per page, and his income increased significantly!

Maybe it was because he relied on his deceased fiancée's actions in "Rainman of Revenge" to attract the attention of readers, or maybe he simply hated women, so his two subsequent works were all from his dead girlfriends.

Not long ago, Lengshui Mako got the opportunity to serialize one work, and the opportunity to serialize another work was given to Yuichi Torashita.

Unfortunately, the two works are inevitably commented by readers. After the three episodes of serialization, "The Strongest One" was crushed into pieces. Almost every letter that says "The Strongest One" will complain that "The Strongest One" will be renamed "The Strongest One" to "The Strongest One".

The people around them laughed. Anyway, they were all at the bottom of the company and had nothing to do with the editors above, so they were not afraid of the other party's revenge.

Besides, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Lengshui Mako is about to develop. If they are retaliated for belittling her opponent because of their praise Lengshui Mako, then the first person to jump out to protect them is definitely not their department head, but Lengshui Mako.

Otherwise, who would dare to help Leng Shui Mako in the future? A person who doesn't know how to maintain his reputation will not become a choice that others want to get closer even if they achieve temporary success.

———————————————————————————————

As time entered September and the students finished their summer classes one after another, the fifth chapter of Dragon Ball was finally released. At this time, the power of Dragon Ball began to appear.

When readers' feedback letters and voting results showed that "Dragon Ball" became the most popular work of weekly comics dream, dream immediately made a decision to determine the long serialization of "Dragon Ball", increase publicity efforts, and directly put a big shutdown on the cover!

At this time, Dream didn't care about the open and secret struggles of the editors below. For the senior executives of the magazine, the current results of "Dragon Ball" are really a bit terrifying.

Dream's local sales are only 660,000, which is actually quite embarrassing. While the other three comics and magazines are thriving, they are only dream's local sales are still standing still and even a little backward.

Because of this, the senior management will make drastic moves to make more newcomers emerge, hoping to select outstanding talents.

In fact, they also know that the open and secret struggles between editors are just competition in the workplace. As long as they are not malicious slander and harm their own people, they will not have much time to care about them.

What senior management cares about is always the sales of magazines.

After the serialization of "Dragon Ball", the sales volume of Dreams were stabilized in the first episode.

Previously, Dream fell from the peak of 660,000 copies to 660,000 copies, and in that issue on August 4, sales directly exceeded 700,000!

Then the second episode on August 11 rose slightly to 720,000.

In the third episode of August 18th, the magazine's top management was shocked by 50,000 yuan.

Then there is the fourth episode of August 25. The senior executives who originally wanted to stabilize 770,000 yuan were shocked to find that the magazine sales exceeded 800,000 in the first three days, and finally, the magazine sales reached 900,000 in the golden week!

Like the senior executives of magazines and other companies, Lengshui Mako feels dizzy when she knows the sales volume.

The editor-in-chief has already talked with her and asked her to offer a high price to Fujii Kazura's royalty, which can increase to 100,000 yuan per page!

After listening to the editor-in-chief's words, Leng Mizuko's eyes were a little itchy. When she walked out of the company and wanted to find Fujii Fangyuan, she couldn't help but hold her fists and waved her face red.

"We succeeded!"
Chapter completed!
