Chen Ze did not know that his boss was " thinking " about him. At this time, he was also in his rented house, staring at the computer and constantly scrolling through his comments section. He wanted to see what his fans thought about this online serial.
"Today's plot is really exciting. A god is a god!”
"Mitsui is so handsome. His posture is as beautiful as a painting. As expected of the MVP of junior high school.”
"Although it's inconvenient to read the online series, I still have to support Slam Dunk. I love Kaede Rukawa the most.”
"God, please update more. I can't sell any comic magazines, so I can only get the previous issue online. Now, he could catch up.”
"The effects of the online serials are also quite good, but I still like to read them in magazines. When will the Almighty release a standalone book? I must buy a set and collect it.”
From the comments in the book review section, it seemed that everyone had a positive attitude towards the online series. Although some people were not used to it, they still hoped to see it in magazines.
However, most of them had already accepted the method of serializing online. Moreover, China in this world had a very strong awareness of copyright protection. There was no such thing as pirated copies. Chen Ze heaved a sigh of relief when he connected the two situations. The number of users today would probably be quite good!
He had been sitting in front of the computer the entire day. He didn't feel it earlier, but now that he was relaxed, he immediately felt his back ache.
"No, I have to get up and move around.”
With that thought, Chen Ze stood up and walked around the room. However, the single room he rented was a little cramped, so he walked out of the house and planned to take a walk outside.
Although China in this time and space was as foggy as in his previous life due to the rapid development of industry, especially in a first-tier city like City G. However, the greenery in the new garden area was not bad. It was also late at night, so the entire area had a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Chen Ze enjoyed the scenery as he strolled. Unknowingly, he had arrived at the entrance of the residential area. He looked at the guard room. The one on duty was not his fanatic fan.
"He probably went online to read my comics.”
Chen Ze thought to himself. He had just released the news of the online series yesterday, but he had been stopped by him when he went out for breakfast this morning. He insisted on inviting him to go online to support Slam Dunk in the afternoon. He had tried his best to persuade him, and he had repeatedly promised that he would be sure to sign up for Slam Dunk when he got home before he could get away from him.
Having such a fan had caused him some trouble sometimes, but it was also because he liked his manga too much. Thinking of this, Chen Ze was quite happy.
At this moment, a beautiful figure walked into Chen Ze's eyes. It was Zhang Jingning, the daughter of his landlord, Auntie Tian. She was holding a pile of things in her hands. It seemed to be paper as she walked towards the neighborhood.
This was Chen Ze's second time meeting Zhang Jingning. As Zhang Jingning was a university student in City G and usually lived on campus, they only met once when Chen Ze moved in.
As Zhang Jingning walked closer and closer, Chen Ze hesitated and was about to greet her.
At this moment, Zhang Jingning suddenly slipped and her body tilted. Although she reacted in time and did not fall, the stack of papers in her hand slid out of her hand.
Chen Ze quickly walked over and asked,""Are you alright?" After getting her confirmation, he bent down and helped her pick up the papers that were scattered on the ground.
"This is?"
Chen Ze picked up the paper and realized that it was all sketches with some comic characters drawn on them. However, he had never seen it before. It should be Zhang Jingning's original creation.
"This is my work. What do you think? Does it have the potential to be a mangaka?”
Zhang Jingning took the drawing from Chen Ze and smiled.
"Not bad, not bad. Your expression is very good, and the characters are also very exquisite.”
Chen Ze nodded. He was a little surprised. A university art student actually had such good paper expression, better than many manga artists in this world. Could she really be very talented?
However, Zhang Jingning's painting seemed a little strange. It gave Chen Ze a feeling of deja vu. It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"This is your original creation. You didn't imitate anyone's style?”
"No!"
??????
It was late at night, but the new animation magazine was still brightly lit. Everyone in the magazine was staring at a computer. There was someone calculating something on the computer.
"How is it? Have the final results been tabulated? What's the status of all the comics today?”Lin Lan stood at the front of the crowd and asked.
"It's out, I've calculated it!"
The person in front of the computer said excitedly. Following his words, everyone immediately fell silent. They held their breaths and waited for the final number.
This number was related to the survival of the new animation magazine, to the livelihood of everyone present, and to Lin Lan's dream.
"The total number of Slam Dunk's daily users is 583251, which means that 583251 people have already signed up for Slam Dunk. Magic Teenager had a 58,123 number of readers, while Dream Chaser had a 32,646 number.?????”
Everyone cheered when they heard the report. Even though the other comics that were being published online today didn't have a high number of readers, Slam Dunk had more than 500,000 readers. Moreover, this was only a one-day number of users. It would definitely increase in the future.
This proved that Chen Ze's method was feasible. In a situation where the physical channels were blocked, the magazine company could barely continue to operate by relying on online serializations.
At the thought of this, everyone in the magazine agency blushed and looked excited.
"It really succeeded!"
When Lin Lan heard the number 580,000, her head went blank. Although she had already expected this outcome when so many people flooded the website in the morning, she was still a little surprised.
However, when the data came out, she still had a special feeling.
Back then, the entire industry wanted to ban Slam Dunk, but he had resisted it head-on. In the end, the magazine's distribution channels were blocked, and the entire magazine agency was in danger of bankruptcy.
At that time, although he appeared very calm in front of everyone, the pressure in his heart was greater than anyone else. Although this new animation magazine agency was originally a product of his father's rebellion, after working for so long, he had long developed feelings for it. Of course, he did not want the magazine agency he had personally created to be destroyed just like that.
Later on, Chen Ze came up with this idea of an online serial.？Online serializing was a business model that had never been seen before in the industry. In the beginning, he had no confidence in this.
It was Chen Ze's confident words that moved him. It was also because he had no other choice during that period of time. He could only create such a new model. It could be considered a manifestation of desperate desperation.
However, from today's data, although this business model had a lot of drawbacks, it could not replace the distribution of physical magazines. However, as a new business model, it was still successful.
Especially now that the distribution channel of the new animation magazine had been blocked, the magazine company could continue to operate with the online serialization of Slam Dunk. From this point of view, Chen Ze was the person who had saved his magazine agency.
Chen Ze, he was really a genius!
"Chief editor, chief editor!"
A voice pulled Lin Lan back to reality. She turned around and saw that it was her secretary calling her.
"Chief Editor, are you okay? I see that your face is very red!”Lin Lan's secretary was a young girl she had personally recruited from a big school. Although she was not very professional, she was very attentive. Just like now, she was the one who discovered Lin Lan's abnormality.
"I'm fine." Lin Lan shook her head. She seemed to have thought of something and continued,"Oh right, Xiao Li. Inform the technical staff to quickly spread the news of Slam Dunk's sold well on the official website's front page banner. We have to let everyone know about this news, especially the chief editor of Lotte Society.”
