Chapter 104: The Editors' Celebration Banquet
"Cheers to the quick report result!"
"cheers!"
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Ninghai's nightlife has just begun.
In a hotel, dozens of male and female editors sat in separate seats and held a lively celebration banquet.
"The company has finally been generous once. I haven't had a free meal for a long time!"
"Thank you, Teacher He Xi!"
"It's so refreshing. I didn't expect that Teacher He Xi would create a sales miracle again. This year is a year of great harvest."
The editors from the Youth Department of Phoenix Company were all very excited. Sun Yang toasted to Ye Xiong on behalf of other editors: "Editor-in-Chief, you have to toast you this glass of wine. If you didn't like Teacher He Xi, we wouldn't have this meal."
Ye Xiong got up and finished drinking with him, then smiled and said, "Now it's just a meal. When the total sales volume comes out, the company will hold a formal celebration banquet. Just wait for the gift bag."
The editors became even more excited when they heard this word.
"Editor-in-chief, I heard that "Detective Conan" was released on the first day of 780,000 copies. Can you get better results than the first volume?"
"It's a little better, but it's hard to exceed 9 million..."
Ye Xiong replied that the sales of the second volume of "Detective Conan" did not make much progress based on the first volume, and there was no way to do so. The sales of the first volume were already very high.
Moreover, the advertising intensity of He Xi's signature comics in the first volume was higher than that in the second volume, and posters could be seen everywhere at that time. However, this time, the company did not make much publicity. In addition, "Detective Conan" entered a steady period, and the reader group gradually became fixed.
"The men over there, you won this time, but don't forget that we will surpass you soon!"
Not far away, a female editor with a sharp ear heard Ye Xiong's words and raised her voice and laughed. This time, the sales of "Inuyasha" broke through the single record of the girl comics, and the total sales volume may exceed 7 million. Although it is not as good as "Detective Conan", its future sales growth potential is much greater. "Detective Conan" has maintained a long-term serialization through boring cases, and the progress of the main line is very slow, and readers will gradually reduce their interest.
"Inuyasha" is a comic with a plot development. As time goes by, it will become more and more exciting and readers will be more and more. In the future, a single-book sales exceed "Detective Conan".
"It is also a one-line version that exceeds the number. "Detective Conan" will be serialized for a longer time, and the total sales volume will be great!"
A male editor of the weekly boy came to refute that the advantage of the "Detective Conan" model is that it can continue to draw and create long-term benefits.
"This is not necessarily the case. Inuyasha's market adaptability is better than you, and it is likely to have a magical turn and sales have increased significantly!"
The female editor was not willing to be outdone, and the two began to have a verbal confrontation.
Teacher Hua Meng looked at them with a smile. As He Xi's assistant, she and Mr. Tomato were both on the scene. They were the only two cartoonists. She looked at Situ Xue, the editor-in-chief of the girl comics beside her.
"Editor-in-chief, the sales of these two comics are very popular. Do you know how much money can Teacher He Xi get?"
She asked curiously.
"The preliminary estimate should be more than 30 million." Situ Xue smiled. She thought of the inhumane teacher He Xi. His talent was really hard to measure: "But "Five Centimeters in Second" is not under our jurisdiction. We don't know its quick report results. If it is not very bad, the total should be more than 40 million."
“40 million!”
The female editors around exclaimed, "This number is so great that even best-selling writers can hardly make so much money, and they have never thought about it."
"Okay, so awesome..."
"Teacher He Xi is the largest tycoon in the company!"
Starlights popped up in some female editors' eyes, and even the waiter who served almost fell down when they heard their words, sprinkled most of the soup on the table. She apologized in panic: "I'm sorry, I'll wipe it right away..."
The waiter was very envious when he held the rag while wiping it. Although he didn't understand it very much, people who were good at culture were just good and made so much money.
The female editors didn't care about the waiter either, and their eyes quickly turned on Situ Xue.
"Editor-in-chief, you're so happy, you must have a lot of bonuses! Tell us how much bonuses are!"
"There is no bonus, I am the hard-working editor." Situ Xue blushed and used a trick to move flowers and wood: "You should ask Teacher Hua Meng, she is an assistant, and Teacher He Xi said she would give her and Teacher Tomato each of them 200,000!"
"What!"
"Teacher Hua Meng, is that true!?"
Editors drooled and looked at Hua Meng.
"...It's true." Hua Meng nodded awkwardly: "Teacher He Xi said we can't work hard."
She was also very happy. It would take several months for her to get the 200,000 yuan. And the money was not important. What mattered was that it represented He Xi's kindness. His kindness decided that Hua Meng could learn more, such as how to draw the magic girl theme, which was what Hua Meng wanted...
"I will have to study with Teacher He Xi seriously in the future."
"Okay, Hua Meng, you are so successful. You are the only one to defeat the weekly boy!" An editor praised loudly. She patted Hua Meng on the shoulder and smiled: "The Tomato Teacher over there is also an assistant, but his Gundam just failed. Haha, it's really satisfying!"
Female editors are generally hostile to male editors. Both parties are in the same company, but many resources have to compete for each other. So far, weekly teenagers have the advantage.
So once someone beats the weekly teenager, the female editor will feel a sense of pride.
"Teacher Tomato?"
Hua Meng also knew about Tomato’s failure. She turned to look at several tables of the weekly boy. Tomato teacher pulled an editor to chat. Although her expression was not very strange, she drank more frequently than usual.
"He won't be in trouble, right?"
Hua Meng was a little worried. During the meeting, she paid attention to Teacher Tomato. Sure enough, she saw him shaking and walked over and supported him.
"Teacher Tomato, are you okay?"
This scene was seen by other editors and looked at each other in surprise.
"Does Teacher Hua Meng usually take this initiative?"
"It seems that no, she has a gentle temperament. Even if she sees this kind of scene, she will not go there by herself."
Situ Xue's eyes were thoughtful, and she smiled: "Hua Meng is so proactive, it seems that she has a good impression of Mr. Tomato."
"Fear?"
Some editors don't understand.
"Well, yes, Teacher Hua Meng divorced a few years ago, and Teacher Tomato is still single now. You all know what I mean..."
"ah?"
The other editors looked at the two of them. Do they have hope?
"Forget it, don't worry about the parties' thoughts."
