Chapter 958: Beyond

After Lu Yanqiu's husband returned home, he looked at his daughter in surprise and was startled. After being stunned, he couldn't help pinching his face: "Oh, it's not a dream... I said Xiaoxuan, what's wrong today? You can actually cook by yourself?"

When he walked into the kitchen, there was a little mess, but the man didn't care at all. He was very happy that his daughter would help with housework: "Where is mom?"

"Mom is writing. △," Xiaoxuan said carefully, "She looks very happy. Dad, don't bother her, let's cook for her!"

The man looked back at the study and said that his wife would throw supper aside to work, which was a rare sight. Although it was strange, when he saw his daughter's active figure, he still walked over to help with it with a smile.

Until the meal was about to eat, a sudden burst of noise came from the study.

"Oh no, oh no, supper!"

Lu Yanqiu hurriedly ran out from inside, and then was stunned when she looked at her husband who was serving the dishes.

"You finally figured it out." The man smiled and said, "I wrote it very fascinating today!"

Lu Yanqiu's face turned slightly red and she quickly apologized. When she saw her daughter carrying the dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen, she was even more surprised: "Xiaoxuan, have you helped too?"

"Yes, mom, have you finished writing?" Xiaoxuan put down the dishes and asked excitedly: "I heard that the story of the new comic is quite difficult to write."

"It's quite difficult. I'm not finished yet, I'm probably half written..." Lu Yanqiu smiled and said, "But I'm very inspired. I will definitely finish it tonight. Xiaoxuan, let me put this comic here first, how about showing it to you tomorrow?"

The daughter nodded: "Yes. But mom, you have to tell me. Is "Natsume Friends' Account" good?"

Lu Yanqiu walked over and touched her head: "Of course, it's definitely better than you think."

The story of "Natsume Friends' Account" surprised her, and she believed that her daughter would like it too... No, it should be more than her. Chinese readers will like this new comic, no matter whether the reader is a girl or a boy.

This is a story that is not limited to the reader's gender.

"Teacher He Xi is so amazing. Yesterday, many boys bought "Weekly Girls". ", "The content of "Natsume Friends' Account" is also great in the eyes of male readers!", "Touching stories are not different from gender!"

The next morning, when Bai Han came to the editorial department of "Weekly Girls", the editors in the editorial department were discussing "Natsume Friend's Account".

The craze caused by the new comics was fully expressed in the editorial department, but not only here, Bai Han passed through several departments along the way, and the most topic he heard was "Natsume Friends' Account". This newly released comic has achieved unimaginable success.

This success even added a honor to Bai Han. As soon as she entered the door, the editors were extremely enthusiastic about her, even more enthusiastic than yesterday.

"Bai Han, you will become a well-known cartoonist in the future!"

Among all the warm greetings, this sentence is the most representative. The popularity of "Natsume Friends' Account" will inevitably bring high popularity to its assistant, Bai Han. This popularity may be that many of the original authors of the hard-working girl comics cannot match.

However, this sentence also made Bai Han's body tense. After realizing the pressure on her body, she became much more nervous than yesterday.

"Sit down, you're working here. It seems like you're coming a little late today?" Wang Hui, editor-in-chief of the editorial department, arranged a place for Bai Han to work, and then asked in confusion. Compared to yesterday, Bai Han came today, it was indeed much later.

"When I was having breakfast, I met two teachers in the restaurant." Bai Han replied nervously: "They made me stay for a while."

Wang Hui frowned slightly: "Do you Qin Ya and Teacher He Xi?"

"Um."

"What do they leave you to do?"

"Teacher Qin Ya wants to change the position of the assistant with me." Bai Han smiled bitterly: "She seems to like "Natsume Friends' Account", so she grabbed me and asked me to help "Chess Soul"."

Wang Hui was stunned. No, Qin Ya actually wanted to be the assistant of "Natsume Friends' Account"?

"Then what? Did Teacher He Xi agree?" She asked quickly. Compared to Bai Han, Qin Ya's painting skills and strength are certainly higher. To put it too much, if Qin Ya could serve as the assistant of "Natsume Friends' Account", Wang Hui would be happier.

Bai Han also knew this, but she did not express her loss in front of the editor-in-chief.

"Then... Teacher He Xi asked Teacher Qin Ya which is better, "Soul of Chess" or "Natsume Friends' Account", and whether "Natsume Friends' Account" is better than "Soul of Chess" and Teacher Qin Ya couldn't answer."

Wang Hui nodded secretly. If she could not answer, the popularity of "Soul of Chess" is not comparable to "Natsume Friends Account" now, and its impact on society is probably something that "Natsume Friends Account" will never reach.

Qin Ya wants to be an assistant to "Natsume Friends' Account", probably not because she thinks this new series is better than "Soul of Chess", but because "Natsume Friends' Account" is more fresh.

Bai Han's words also proved this. After Qin Ya thought carefully, she finally gave up the idea of ​​changing positions with Bai Han. Bai Han, who breathed a sigh of relief, was delayed for more than ten minutes and came to the editorial department later.

"I see……"

After hearing the reason why she was late, Wang Hui felt a little regretful that Qin Ya failed to insist on changing, but she also knew that this was an unlikely thing. Not to mention Teacher He Xi's wishes, even if Teacher He Xi allowed it, the Young Editorial Department would definitely object.

"Soul of Chess" is a very popular boy comic. Qin Ya is more powerful than Bai Han, so the young editorial department naturally doesn't want to change assistants. Besides, it is not good to change assistants at will, and it will have a great impact on the serialization of "Soul of Chess".

Wang Hui didn't say anything about this episode anymore. She asked Bai Han to turn on the computer and then instructed her how to review the adapted novel "Weekly Girl" in just one day of its release, and hundreds of submissions were submitted.

"You are responsible for this." Wang Hui pointed out the original manuscript to Bai Han and said: "The desktop has various review standards and scoring procedures documents, so you don't have to worry. You will finish reading the documents later. Then rate the works according to the requirements inside."

Bai Han looked at the submissions on the computer. There were dozens of copies, and this number made her nervous: "There are too many, I'm afraid I'll give the wrong score."

"Don't worry." Wang Hui smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you score the wrong score alone. Each submission will be reviewed by more than ten people. In addition to our department, other editorial departments are also helping, and the final result is definitely the most fair."

The novel adaptation competition has been held for several rounds. In fact, the more stringent the review is in the later stages. There are only more than 1,000 contestants left in the last round of the primary election, and all the submissions are only so many. Several editorial departments have sufficient staff and time to make the best judgment.

Bai Han began to review the manuscript with peace of mind, but during the review, she gradually realized that the atmosphere in the editorial department was a bit strange. When she first started working, the editorial department was very lively, and the editors would discuss some comic submissions with each other, but after an hour, the editorial department suddenly became very quiet.

Editors no longer talk to each other, and although they often see editors answering calls, each editor seems to have a dull heart and the atmosphere in the department is very heavy.

"What's wrong with everyone?" Bai Han asked the editors around him during the break.

"Well. Yesterday, the data of "Weekly Girl" was released, and everyone should be waiting for other reports." The female editor smiled and said, "Maybe... something big will happen today."

"Big thing?" Bai Han was surprised. She had noticed just now that an editor had reported the printing and ordering quantity of this issue of "Weekly Girl", but she didn't know what the data represented. It seemed that the editors became strange after the data came out.

But is this a big deal? Just when Bai Han was surprised, an editor answered the phone and shouted with joy: "Please note, the preliminary statistics on the sales of this issue of "Weekly Girl" have been released!"

Suddenly, the entire editorial department was in full bloom.

"How is it!", "Is it true!?", "What are the specific numbers?"

In Bai Han's surprised gaze, the female editors quickly surrounded the person who had just answered the phone. The crowd was noisy and there was no specific sales figure outside, but the editors who ran over burst into loud cheers.

"Haha, it's successful!", "It's surpassed, it's finally surpassed!"

Several female editors hugged each other excitedly, while other editors expressed their joy with ringtone laughter.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Bai Han quickly asked the editor around her. Although the editor had not been there, she looked happy. She must have known what the editors were cheering: "Is the sales of "Weekly Girl" broken a record? Why are everyone so happy?"

Bai Han was a little puzzled. Even if the sales of "Weekly Girl" broke the record, is this something worth being so happy? Qin Ya once told her in the past that every new comic book He Xi will cause a surge in sales of weekly magazines. Editors should have been mentally prepared for a long time, and why are they so happy!?

"This time it's not as simple as breaking a record. Didn't I just say it's a big deal?" The editor next to Bai Han smiled and said, "Yesterday, the printing volume of "Weekly Girl" exceeded Zhongxia Company. Everyone was nervous because of this. As long as the sales data came out, we can judge whether it really surpassed Zhongxia Company."

What was released just now was the sales data, and the cheers from the editorial department meant that the editors' speculation was correct. The scale of "Weekly Girl" has surpassed the girl comics of Zhongxia Company.

Bai Han opened her eyes wide: "That means... "Weekly Girl" is the most popular girl comic magazine now?"

"It has always been the hottest." The female editor smiled. Since a few years ago, "Weekly Girls" is the best-selling comic weekly in Girls' comics: "What we are cheering now is not a weekly magazine, but the scale of the entire girl comic."

She paused and explained to Bai Han in a simpler way: "The current situation is that the two major girls' weekly magazines in our company, including "Weekly Girls", should have a combined sales volume every week that exceeds the scale of the girl comics in Zhongxia Company. In other words, the girl comics in our company completely surpass them."

Bai Han was stunned: "But doesn't Zhongxia Company have many daily journals?"

"Yes...even if that's the case..." the female editor laughed: "Our total sales exceeds them. Isn't this a big deal?"

It's not just a big deal. This incident can make a sensation in China Zhongxia Company in the past inferior to single girl comic magazines. What they are proud of is the total sales per week, but the total sales are surpassed, and the entire girl comics industry will reverse.

And not only that, if Bai Han remembers it correctly...

“Don’t our teenage comics have the highest sales?”

She remembers that the sales of Phoenix's Youth Comics magazine are ranked No. 1 in China. A long time ago, after Zhongxia Company opened channels to "Weekly Boys", the sales of this magazine soared, Phoenix's Youth Comics entered a period of rapid development, and the total sales also surpassed Zhongxia Company a few years ago.

But in this way, the sales of young man and girl comics have exceeded that of Zhongxia. Isn’t it said that no one can deny the number one comic company in China now, and it is the well-deserved Phoenix Company?

Bai Han was right in mind. In fact, the printing volume and sales of "Weekly Girl" are not very secrets. While the editorial department obtained the data, many people from the outside world also noticed the changes that this weekly issue might bring.

Phoenix and Zhongxia, which were originally in a stalemate, are likely to reverse because of He Xi's "Natsume Friends Account", and Zhongxia's surface advantages that have been maintained by capital and connections for a long time are destroyed by the last line of defense, the impact will be unimaginable.

"The readers are still the foundation of a comic company. So far, thanks to Zhongxia's public opinion guidance and concealment, in the hearts of all comic readers... Zhongxia is the largest comic company."

Ning Hai, Xu Jing looked at the data in his hand and saw the storm. He said to Alice, who was standing in front of him, "But once these data are released, Zhongxia can no longer hide it..."

The release of data is inevitable. No one can stop the media's keen eyes. After the sales of Girl Comics have reversed, the outcome of the comics is self-evident. Zhongxia's position in the hearts of all comic readers will fall to the right place.

However, things are not just that simple. The failure of the comics business will not bring about the failure of a business, and its chain effect will also be amazing.

"You go down and prepare. You will probably be very busy in the next few days..." Xu Jing said to Alice: "Of course I don't need to say much about the media interview. If there is an animation company belonging to Zhongxia showing goodwill to us, you know..."
