"OK." Chen Zijun nodded: "Speaking of which, Sister Su Jing, didn't you just tell me about this?"

"Yup."

Chen Zijun was speechless: "This kind of thing can also be done by phone."

"Of course I didn't make a face-to-face call." Su Jing smiled and said, "Besides, I have other things to tell you. After the release of the booklet, do you want to add an assistant."

Chen Zijun pondered slightly after hearing this.

"After the release of the single book, although the results are currently unknown, hiring more assistants can relieve your pressure. It happens that I have a few good assistants who are looking for jobs. Do you want to consider it?"

Chen Zijun pondered slightly: "I'll decide this based on the results of the single book."

"Well, okay." Su Jing nodded, expressing understanding.

At this moment, Chen Zijun suddenly remembered and said, "By the way, Sister Su Jing, do you know how to exercise the body structure?"

Chen Zijun recently found that his painting skills are indeed still a little weak. He wanted to improve it, but he encountered a bottleneck period and was very uncomfortable.

"I don't know this very well. You know, I don't know how to draw, so I can't help you." Su Jing said apologetically.

"Fine."

Back at the Tokiwazhuang apartment, Chen Zijun took out a piece of drawing paper and prepared to paint the title page of the coloring page. He needed to think about how to conceive this. Although it was a coloring page, it was only the second drawing.

Then after Du Mingyuan came, Chen Zijun concentrated on the plot again.

It took three days for Chen Zijun to drive out the coloring page like a salted fish, and the news of the "Shape of Sound" single edition has also begun to be publicized on the Internet.

The news on the Internet spreads very quickly.

At this time, Zijin Magazine was also a little worried about how many copies of "Shape of Sound" should be printed. This first edition was a little difficult to decide. If it was printed too much, it would definitely lose money if it couldn't be sold.

Generally, the printing of this first edition is decided by the department of the magazine according to the popularity of the work.

This is what the sales department is discussing at this time.

"The Shape of Sound is good according to readers' recommendations, so we plan to print 100,000 copies initially. If the results are good, we can increase it again." A middle-aged man in the sales department read out his opinion.

"100,000 copies is still too much, halve it, let's say 50,000 copies," said the sales manager.

The middle-aged man wrinkled slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Minister, isn't it a bit too much to cut in half? No matter what, we have to keep 70,000 or 80,000 copies, it's too little."

Zijin Magazine is already very popular. No matter how unbearable it is, newcomers should not print so few copies. The most basic thing is to keep 70,000 to 80,000 copies.

"Well, I know it too, but after all, it's a rookie manga, so it's better to be on the safe side. If my grades are good, I'll increase at that time. Now, let's reduce it, at least be safe." The sales manager sighed.

The people present all knew the thoughts of the Minister. A few days ago, a comic called "Blessings of the World" by the magazine was published in a single edition. Because the serialization time was very long and the serialization time was not short, the sales minister ordered 200,000 copies to be printed. As a result, more than 100,000 copies were sold, and the results were ridiculous. Therefore, the sales manager was scolded by his boss, which is not surprising.

Zijin Magazine is a magazine that sells more than 4 million. It may be unbelievable that 30,000 cannot be sold, but it is true. In this world, comics are based on the quality of popularity, not the popularity of the magazine. Sometimes some people read it after reading it. There are also magazines that do not plan to buy a single-run edition.

"Then print fifty thousand copies."

Everyone didn't refute, so they agreed.

"By the way, while there is still time, let's also determine the number of single copies of "Alice's Galaxy" next week." The head of the sales department said solemnly.

"This work has been serialized for nearly a year, and its popularity is not the highest, but its popularity is stable, so how about the first printing of 100,000."

"One fifty thousand, one hundred thousand?"

Everyone has no opinion. In fact, in terms of popularity at this stage, The Shape of Voice is still more popular than "Alice's Galaxy", but the other party's serialization time is longer.

Therefore, this matter was decided.

......

But the world is not always as smooth as people think, and there are always ups and downs.

So is the release of the one-off book.

This morning, Chen Zijun had already cooked and was about to leave for school when Su Jing's phone call disrupted Chen Zijun's order.

"Is the matter of the one-liners blown?" Chen Zijun said unexpectedly.

"It's not a blow, it's just delayed by a week."

"Why? Didn't the news have already been released? What's the matter with the change now?" Chen Zijun believed that there must be some reason, otherwise all the news had been released, how could he change his mind at will.

"Ruoyu, one of the eight kings, was released on the same day as you, and she will also come to Jingchuan City to do a book signing. Those days will definitely steal the limelight, so the magazine will consider it for a long time. , I still plan to avoid the edge for a while and wait for her to finish before starting."

"Although that one doesn't sound good, Mr. Ruoyu, who is the Eighth Prince, is too popular. It will definitely be her topic at that time. It's not very good for you."

"Oh, that's it." Chen Zijun said calmly.

"What's in your mind?"

"No, why do you ask that?"

"I thought you were unwilling, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and insisted on publishing the single book that day."

Chen Zijun said, "I don't think so. Although I am unwilling, I am not stupid. If I insist on releasing a single book that day, it is an egg on a rock. I am not arrogant to this level."

"That's good. I'm just afraid that you can't think about it? It's fine if you think so."

Chen Zijun: "..."

"But what about my coloring pages?"

"Well, it's already arranged for you and can't be changed. The coloring page is still given to you, and the single book will be postponed to the next week."

"Fine."

The next day, school.

When he came to the class, Chen Zijun threw his schoolbag on his desk, and then saw Xu Qisi behind him bowing his head and working hard. Originally, he thought he was studying hard? But at first glance, she saw that she was drawing a sub-shot.

"The exam is coming soon, is it really okay for you to be so forthright?"

"It's not right for you to use the word bold to describe itself. Also, do you think I'm the kind of person who learns?" Xu Qisi said without raising her head.

"There is a test today."

"I gave up. If it wasn't for my parents, I might as well paint at home. Also, can you not sit next to me?"

"Eh? Why?"

"I feel like I'm going to be pregnant." Xu Qisi mocked.

Chen Zijun doesn't care: "If you are pregnant, what should the child's name be?"

Zuo Weimian, who was beside him, was already stunned. He didn't expect Chen Zijun to speak in such a serious manner. Even Xu Qisi, who had been bowing his head, was choked by him.

Soon, Jiang Ruyu came, holding a large stack of test papers, and was preparing for today's test.
