Chapter 71 Resistance
In the Dou Po Cang Qiong comic studio, inside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, a group of comic assistants worked hard on the table, coloring Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.

In addition to Xiao Yan, there are also background pictures of the Xiao family, the prototype of the alchemy furnace, and pictures designed by Xiao Xun'er, Ya Fei and others.

Buzzing, all kinds of computers buzzing in the office building, the environment is not too quiet, but not too noisy, everyone's working attitude is serious and rigorous, without the free and relaxed atmosphere of Sagiri Studio.

Teacher Doupa sat in a separate office, watching the sunlight leaking through the gaps in the blinds, picked up the hand-ground coffee next to him, and took a sip into his throat, leaving the fragrance on his lips and teeth.

On the computer, someone reported to Mr. Doupo:
"I heard that Teacher Haiyang wants to draw a hot-blooded manga. This gossip is not very reliable, but there is a possibility."

"Mr. Eromanga" written by Mr. Haiyang is a strong competitor with Doupa's comics in the same period, and has been ranked behind Doupa in the new issue.

And two weeks ago, Eromanga announced that there would be a fee for listing, so the comic "Mr. Eromanga" was added to the top [-] bestseller list.

Doupo currently ranks first on the best-selling list, with weekly sales of 40 yuan. (Comics are generally updated once a week, so the best-seller list is calculated on a weekly basis.)
As for "Mr. Eromanga", it is No. 15 on the best-selling list, with a weekly sales of 8 RMB. Sometimes the sales will fluctuate, and the sales volume in a month can reach more than 30.

After a 15-18 split, the after-tax royalties should be between [-] and [-] RMB. Oh, by the way, "Eromanga Sensei" is a comic strip in Dengeki Daioh magazine, so the final royalties have to be calculated separately.

Such an opponent has unlimited potential. You must know that "Mr. Eromanga" just entered the No. 90 best-selling list in the first week of its release, but it did not expect to jump to No. 15 in the second week after it was charged. This speed is almost the same as Riding a rocket makes no difference.

Therefore, Teacher Doupo pays special attention to her, and keeps researching why this daily manga can stand out from a bunch of hot-blooded manga.

Mr. Dou Po has always believed that elements such as destroying the sky and destroying the earth, flying to the sky and escaping from the earth, happy revenge, enthusiasm, perseverance and unyielding are the mainstream in the comics industry.

But now I see that this book with the cute sister as its selling point has become popular, and it has been hanging behind "Fights Break the Sphere". Its ranking is increasing day by day, and it has great momentum. It has unlimited potential, and the number of people reading it every week exceeds one million. His popularity is terrifying, and he is expected to surpass him in two months.

It made him feel a little weird.

If things are abnormal, there must be a reason!
He knows very well that for a non-hot-blooded comic to stand out from the sea of ​​works dominated by great writers and become famous is undoubtedly as difficult as a rocket going to the moon.

"She wants to draw Hot Blood? It doesn't exist!" Teacher Dou Po shook his head.

If her next work draws cute comics, it's okay, but Teacher Dou Po said that she would be defeated.

After watching chapters [-] to [-] of "Mr. Eromanga", he felt that he was being led astray, and he gradually fell in love with this cute heroine.

And every time I read it, Teacher Doupo found that Mr. Haiyang's comics have a magical quality. Ever since I saw the heroine for the first time, the soft and cute figure with long silver hair has been lingering, and it appears in my mind from time to time , I am concerned about whether Teacher Haiyang will update the next chapter.

He knew that this was a manifestation of obsession!
But in terms of passion, Teacher Haiyang is absolutely impossible, this is the confidence of Teacher Dou Po.

"The plot of Hot Blood Man is not something that can be dealt with casually in daily life. Without fighting, there is no passion. Look at her Eromon, is there any fighting? No!" Teacher Dou Po added.

"This is her shortcoming. Even if someone else writes a passionate plot script for her to support her content, she still won't become popular!"

"Because the difference between hot-blooded comics and daily life is too far, how to make comics exciting and passionate is a great skill. I don't believe she can draw comics that resonate with blood." Teacher Dou Po shook his head.

After speaking, he went back to work and carefully drew the line draft of Doupa's next chapter, as if the conversation just now was just idle words and he didn't take it to heart.

Except for Teacher Dou Po who is not optimistic, the comrades in the editorial department of Dengeki Dawang are not optimistic about Teacher Haiyang either.

"Editor Xiaoman, do you know that Mr. Haiyang's ED video is under production, and will it be released in a week or two?" Qingshi Jun, who is an otaku with an ordinary face, is wearing a black formal suit, looking at the long-legged beauty beside him.

Xiaoman wore a white long-sleeved top today, and her lower body was still a black cylinder, but her high heels were replaced with black [-]cm ones.

"Yes, she wants to use ED and OP videos to gain popularity. This is a good method."

"How much popularity can an ED and OP attract? Without official promotion channels, it would be useless if she produced it. The effect of attracting fans will definitely be unsatisfactory."

"You're wrong about this. Teacher Haiyang is very confident about these two videos. I heard that the senior management of QQ Music wants to see the finished product before making a decision."

"Oh, are the online exclusive broadcasting rights of those two songs about to be photographed?"

"This matter has not been negotiated. After all, Teacher Haiyang's requirements are a bit high. Tencent is a little unhappy to get the promotion position on the homepage cover of QQ Music. After all, this is a fan-oriented music work. If the quality is not good, there is no way to compete. to the greater good."

"Tsk tsk, let me just say, it's not easy to negotiate a deal. It turns out that Teacher Haiyang wants someone's promotional position." Mr. Qingshi shook his head. This kind of promotional position is usually only given to big stars, so how can newcomers have it.

"Of course I can't get that promotional position, but there is also a promotional position for 'New Song Recommendation' below. If it is this position, QQ Music said it can be considered."

The two talked for a while, and they happened to talk about Sagiri's latest trends, such as the Hot-Blooded Manga Conjecture and so on.

Mr. Qingshi guessed that Mr. Haiyang's next comic might be a comic with daily battles. The editor Xiaoman just wanted to express his opinion, but the editor-in-chief suddenly asked Xiaoman to talk.

In the editor-in-chief's office, Yangzi, a middle-aged uncle with a square face and broad brows, was wearing a black suit and white shirt, with deep and calm eyes.

"I heard that Teacher Haiyang is going to draw Hot Blood Manga, go and persuade her to concentrate on drawing the current manga." Yang Zi knocked on the table and frowned.

Facing the big order from the editor-in-chief, editor Xiaoman was stunned.

"Everyone in the editorial department has read it. Teacher Haiyang's painting style is extremely stable, which has led to the rise of a group of cartoonists. The daily cute cartoons on the new book list have gratifying results."

"She is expected to become a representative of the new generation of genres. This genre is the cute genre. As a representative of the cute comics, if she runs into the hot-blooded area and hits the street, her status and reputation will inevitably be shaken. This is not good, you solve quickly."

This is a dilemma for editor Xiaoman. It seems that the editor-in-chief Yoko is very firm, and judging from his tone, most people in the editorial department think that Sagiri should concentrate on drawing a manga.

Seeing that Xiao Man's face was not good-looking, Editor-in-Chief Yangzi immediately understood and said with a smile: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean to force her, but to persuade!"

"We need to be moved with emotion and understand with reason. We don't want to be big villains. If she insists on her own opinion, then let her draw. But the first chapter and the outline of the plot must be reviewed by the editorial department. If the quality is not up to standard, then Just let her stop thinking about it."

"Understood!" Editor Xiaoman agreed.

The meaning in these words is still rejection, but it's not so straightforward, it's just a few big detours.
