"This is a cartoon about basketball, and it is also a group of high school students who are sweating about their dreams. It is the best interpretation of friendship. Maybe you don't know what basketball is, but after reading this comic, I think you will definitely fall in love with this sport. This is Slam Dunk. In short, I want to say, the genius Sakuragi is here, what are you waiting for?”
Chen Ze looked at the beginning of his manga. There was a recommendation at the top, and the bottom indicated that it was written by a person called Lin Lan. Lin Lan? Wasn't he just the boss and editor-in-chief of the new animation magazine? Chen Ze recalled Lin Lan's phone call that day. Although the two of them did not talk much after that, her voice was still very pleasant to hear.
Generally speaking, women with better voices tended to be ugly. Chen Ze thought to himself that his female boss probably didn't look that good either. But no matter what, she still attached great importance to him and even personally wrote a recommendation on it.
After thanking Lin Lan in his heart, he began to flip through the magazine. The printing was considered excellent. Besides his own comics, there were also one or two good ones.
After reading the magazine, Chen Ze made this evaluation in his heart. In his previous life, he was an otaku who had read countless comics. Although he could not draw himself, he still had a keen sense of whether comics were good or not. He looked at Manga Weekly. Other than his " Slam Dunk," there was also a story about a teenager looking for his mother. Although the overall picture and scenes were still a little immature, the story was very good. Chen Ze himself was willing to read on.
"It seems like the editor of this new anime has some foresight.”Chen Ze touched his chin. Of course, he was happy about this situation. The more discerning the editor was, the better the magazine society would develop. This way, he would have a better future.
What he didn't know was that all the drafts were personally decided by Lin Lan. In terms of taste, even the group of editors combined couldn't compare to her.
??????
"I heard that the sales figures for the new issue of Manke Weekly are out?”In the new animation magazine agency, a young man in his twenties sat in his office chair and slid to his colleague beside him.
His colleague had a moustache and was about 30 to 40 years old. He glanced at Lin Lan's office and said in a low voice,"That's right, the sales are average. In my opinion, our boss is still too young. Although she's beautiful, her taste is really bad. Why did he have to go against the market? Why did he have to follow the three principles of passion, hard work, and friendship? Nowadays, who would still look at that kind of thing? Wasn't it always the males who looked for meat and the females who looked for rot?”
The editor in his thirties was the one who wanted to eliminate Chen Ze from Slam Dunk a few days ago. It was obvious that he looked down on Lin Lan. He curled his lips and continued,"Besides, she even hired that basketball manga. I've been in the comics industry for more than ten years, and even a new editor should know that anime, especially basketball, is an absolute taboo. She's a boss, but she doesn't even know this.”
"At that time, I tried to persuade her, but she didn't listen. Now that the investigation report has come out, it proves what I said. Most readers simply skipped this comic. They didn't even read it. They even thought that it was a loss to buy our magazine because there was a comic that they couldn't read at all.”
"But who asked our boss to be a rich second-generation heir? If she's stupid and rich, just do your best. I don't know how many people in the entire company are going to laugh at her.”
Lin Lan was very annoyed in the office. She was in a bad mood. She looked at the sales volume of the latest issue of Manke Weekly on the table. It had only sold tens of thousands of copies. For a new magazine agency, this sales volume could only be considered average. As a comics country, China was even more powerful than Japan in her previous life. A top magazine like Lotte Society could sell millions of copies per issue. Compared to that, Lin Lan's results were nothing.
If it weren't for the bet with her father, she was confident that her magazine agency would be able to compete with Lotte Society in five to ten years based on the current sales volume. However, he only had three years. In three years, it would be impossible for him to become a leader in the industry without some extraordinary moves.
This was also the reason why she signed Chen Ze's " Slam Dunk ". She did not have the time to expand the magazine agency step by step. She could only hope to find a pearl that was covered in dust. Just like Lotte Society, when it was first established, it was just a small company. Because it discovered the current number one god in the comics field, Lee Myung Yang, and with the unprecedented popularity of his debut novel," Holy Hunter," it defeated the old magazine company, Season After Society, and became the number one magazine company for 20 years.
However, it was not easy to find a dusty pearl. Lin Lan casually flipped through the magazine in her hand. The comics that she had carefully selected and signed some time ago had not received good feedback from the market, especially the one that she had signed against the crowd. The readers basically skipped over it without even reading it.
After the results came out, Lin Lan knew that many of the old editors in the company looked at her as a joke. Although she was the boss and they didn't dare to laugh at her choice in front of her, they had probably laughed at her behind her back.
Even so, Lin Lan still believed in her own judgment. Slam Dunk would definitely be a great opportunity for her. The current weakness was only due to the limited theme. Soon, this situation would definitely turn around.
Soon, the second week arrived. Chen Ze had already handed the manuscript to his editor. The sales figures for Manke Weekly were calculated again. It was still only a few tens of thousands. And in the readers 'feedback survey, most of the readers only had a skipped impression of " Slam Dunk," which made more people in the company laugh at Lin Lan behind her back.
After Lin Lan received the latest data, she carefully analyzed it again. Indeed, most people still had " skipped " and " not interested " in " Slam Dunk," but " good "," looking forward to "," author updates faster " and so on, and so on.
"As expected, my vision was right. As long as I persevere, there will definitely be a way out.”Although the data from the first investigation was nothing, it made Lin Lan more confident in her judgment. Of course, she knew that everyone in the company was laughing at her behind her back for being incompetent and having poor taste. She was just an idiot rich second-generation heir. She wanted to use Slam Dunk to prove who was the idiot.
In the following month, Lin Lan continued to pay close attention to the feedback from the readers of Slam Dunk. Just as she had guessed, fewer and fewer people wrote " not good " and " not interested ", while more and more people wrote " like "," Kaede Rukawa ", and " epic masterpiece ", although the latter ones were still in the minority. However, the number of people was increasing, and there was a trend of explosive growth.
However, looking at the data in her hands, Lin Lan suddenly had a premonition that Slam Dunk was not far from becoming a hit.
