"Hello, this is Pacific Comics... Ah, you want a thousand too? I'm really sorry, we don't have enough goods here, we will let you know if it arrives. "

Pacific Building, at this time the comic editorial department is busy.

The first 100,000 copies of the new issue of the comic magazine have been printed, and there are not many copies left, and this is less than three days before it starts.

As the editor-in-chief of the Comics Club, Jacob is both excited and chagrined.

In the past few days, bookstores in other areas have been calling in and asking them to reprint.

Even if he is a large company, printing is something that rarely happens, so you can imagine how popular "Comic Club" has become.

According to this trend, "Comic Club" will definitely be reprinted in large quantities.

At that time, it will definitely not be as simple as 100,000 copies, at least 500,000 copies, and the highest record of "Comics Club" has not yet reached 500,000 copies.

"It's really a terrifying statistic, it seems that this year's year-end bonus has been seen."

Jacob sat in his office and looked at the data from bookstores across New York, with a smile on his face.

At the same time, the assistant knocked on the door of his office.

"Yo, Ennie, any good news?" Jacob, who was in a good mood, asked with a smile.

"Editor-in-chief, the statistical results are out."

Every time a new issue of "Comic Club" is sold, readers can choose their favorite works on the official website and rate them, and then randomly select the evaluations of 1,000 readers for a preliminary ranking.

Of course, this ranking is not counted, just for the editors-in-chief to see.

Jacob nodded, opened the computer and logged in to his account, and saw the ranking record for this week.

When he found "One Punch Man" in English, he couldn't help but gasp and stood up with an excited face.

"Editor-in-chief?"

Assistant Anne was directly startled by him, it was the first time she had seen her editor-in-chief show such an expression.

Ignoring the surprised Anne, Jacob wiped his eyes in disbelief and looked at the computer screen seriously.

First place, "One Punch Man", 91% of the votes!

"Shet!"

Although Jacob expected One Punch Man to be popular, he didn't expect the vote rate to be so high!

Obviously, the reason why "Comic Club" suddenly became popular is that a large part of it is for One-Punch Man.

After seeing this news, Jacob's heart was relieved, although he was the editor-in-chief of the "Comic Club", there were many things that he did not decide alone.

It took a lot of work for Jacob to get One Punch Man to appear on the cover of Comic Books.

For this, he also paid some price.

But now it seems that he made the right choice, and the results of One Punch Man are the best proof of his vision.

Jacob leaned back on the couch, waved his hand at the assistant, and said, "Okay, tell the printing house to work overtime, we need to work miracles." "

The comic industry in the United States is extremely developed, but only Jacob, the editor-in-chief, knows that the comic industry has almost fallen into a state of withering in recent years.

Since the appearance of the phenomenal comic book "Captain America", many cartoonists have begun to emulate the superhero comics, but without exception, they have thrown themselves into the surging frenzy.

And One Punch Man is so popular at the beginning that it qualifies as the best-selling manga of the year.

......

Unbeknownst to him, his comics had caused a sensation in the outside world, and after he finished breakfast, he took out his paintbrush and manuscript paper and continued to draw the plot of "One Punch Man".

Since signing a publishing contract with Pacific Comic Magazine, Qi Mu has been accumulating manuscripts, and until now, there are almost 10 words of manuscripts.

In my free time, I can independently complete about 2 original scripts every day, which is such a terrifying speed and efficiency, and I am afraid that no one will believe it.

After drawing a few pages of sketches in a hearty manner, the time had come to half past five, when suddenly, a phone ringing interrupted his movements.

Qi Mu gently put down his paintbrush, then appeared in the hallway and picked up the phone.

"Qi Mu, I have good news for you, your painting of "One Punch Man" is popular, and the vote rate has reached 91%!"

On the other side of the phone, Jacob's excited voice was immediately heard.

"yes, I see."

Qi Mu said calmly, he had predicted this result a long time ago.

At the end of the day, there is a problem with the comic industry in this world.

Although there are many comics with superhero themes, each comic has begun to be routine, and there are even fewer comics with excellent quality.

Just one "Captain America" can't satisfy these hungry/thirsty readers.

Moreover, "Captain America" will only be updated once a week, and even sometimes, it will be closed for a period of time.

After all, this comic has lasted for decades, and the story is almost at the end, and it can't be continued, and there are very few left.

That's why comic fans become hungry and hungry, and their spirits are not replenished.

As long as the comics look good, they will buy them and take a look, which is one of the reasons why the comic industry is developing quickly and somewhat deformed, resulting in no innovation at all, all of them have begun to be routine, and now the entire comic industry has almost reached the edge.

The ubiquitous routines make readers very bored.

And "One Punch Man" has naturally become the antidote to their spirits, even if it is only three words, but it completely subverts the setting of the traditional superhero theme, but it makes fans crazy.

Qi Mu's indifferent tone made Jacob slightly stunned, if it were to be replaced by other cartoonists, after hearing the news, he would definitely go crazy with excitement, how could he be as calm as Qi Mu is now, thinking about Qi Mu's age, Jacob didn't know what to say, is this the common problem of geniuses?

After a moment's hesitation, Jacob continued: "I have one more thing to discuss, I want to discuss with you, now that the latest issue of "Comic Club" has been sold out, I am sure that it will be even more popular in the future, and according to the survey, most of those readers are coming for your "One Punch Man", so, I want you to keep updating two words a week, of course, you have the right to refuse this matter..."

"Okay, I agree."

This update speed is not a problem at all for Qi Mu.

"Uh, you agreed?"

In fact, Jacob thought that Qi Mu would refuse, this request was too reluctant after all, other cartoonists updated one word a week, and the speed was good, but he asked Qi Mu to update two words a week, which sounded like a deliberate embarrassment for a child.

However, the other party agreed so decisively that he was directly caught off guard.

Seeing that children around the age of ten can have the courage to challenge difficulties, Jacob is naturally not to be left behind, a burst of blood wells up in his heart, he patted his chest, and swore a promise: "Don't worry, I will arrange an assistant and a studio for you, if you have any questions, just ask!" "

"No, you don't."

After speaking, Qi Mu hung up the phone directly, leaving only Jacob, whose expression instantly froze.
