404 Propaganda Routines

Among the male editors, Hirohiko Suzuki is the editor-in-chief, so naturally it is impossible to do those physical work, so the newcomer Yuo Kojima became a free labor force.

Later, in order not to move a few stacks of comic books, Kojima Yuo was so tired that he was out of breath, so he simply went to exercise. As a result, he became addicted and couldn't stop at all, so he became the macho guy today.

After the two met, Qin Han joked with him, saying: "In "Flowers and Dreams", our team of editors and cartoonists can be regarded as a little green in the flowers, which is quite rare."

Walking into the cafe and sitting opposite Kojima Yuno, Qin Han ordered a cup of caramel latte for himself, and then the two began to discuss the issue of work.

"Teacher Qin Han, the editorial department has now set a temporary date for the serialization of "Beautiful Girl of Light" and has two choices. One is the second half of December that will be published on the 20th of this month, and the other is the first half of January that will be published on the 5th of next month. Which one do you think is better?"

Although generally speaking, magazines are more powerful in front of cartoonists. However, for "Flowers and Dreams", the Qin and Han Dynasty were a big Buddha that could not be exaggerated to burn incense every day. Therefore, the editorial department gave Qin and Han a considerable choice, and even if their comics were serialized from that issue, they could choose by themselves.

Yuo Kojima continued: "Teacher Qin Han, if I personally suggest, it is better to schedule the serialization start on the fifth of next month. After all, it is too close to Christmas after being published on the 20th of this month."

Christmas is a big business opportunity, and it is the time when Japanese people have the strongest desire to consume and are most likely to spend money out of the year.

However, not all products will see a big increase in sales on Christmas.

For example, daily cultural consumer goods such as newspapers and magazines.

No reader would say that I usually buy one magazine every issue, and I will buy two to celebrate on Christmas.

Sometimes, the promotion and promotion of other products will have a certain impact on the sales of such products.

In order to buy a comic book that was newly released during Christmas and is being promoted crazy, maybe I won’t buy comic magazines that I used to buy on weekdays.

After all, it doesn’t matter if you miss an issue of a magazine. It is feasible to borrow someone else’s reading, buy second-hand magazines, read electronic versions, or even buy a single book and make up for it in the future.

During Christmas, the comics with various limited peripherals were missed, but they were gone afterwards.

"Christmas..." Qin Han remembered last year's Christmas.

At that time, his "Dragon Sakura" had just released its first single volume, and together with many best-selling comics, they fought in the fierce Christmas sales season. With the efforts of himself and the editorial department, they finally achieved a great start, laying the foundation for the continued hot sales of "Dragon Sakura" in the future.

However, this year's Christmas, there is nothing happening in the Qin and Han dynasties - at most, let "Oriental Fantasy Country Story" participate in the Christmas promotion on the steam platform.

"Midfield Core" has just been serialized, and it is still early to publish a single-line version. "The Beautiful Girl of Light" can't even see the movie.

Although Qin Han could have a relaxed and happy Christmas, after thinking about it, he decided to put "The Beautiful Girl of Light" in the second issue of "Flowers and Dreams" in December as the stage for the first serialization.

He believes that with his current popularity and fans' expectations for "Beautiful Girl of Light", Christmas will not have much impact on magazine sales.

Moreover, the launch of "Beautiful Girl of Light" earlier can also boost the promotion of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan".

This more orthodox magic girl comic can also become part of the "Misunderstanding Promotion" project of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan".

The two works were also handed by the Qin and Han dynasties. At that time, I have read the orthodox magic girl comics that promote the existence of positive energy. The audience's expectations for "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" will definitely form a thinking inertia.

And in the end, after learning the truth, the audience's craze will burst out even more fiercely.

"Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is scheduled to be broadcast on TBS in early January. If "Beautiful Girl of Light" is selected to start serialization on January 5 next year, then there will be no time left.

The spread of works and the brewing and fermenting of discussions all take time.

"I think it's better to start serialization on the 20th of this month. If the editorial department can arrange it, it's time to set it up." Qin Han said.

While nodding, Kojima Yuo wrote down Qin Han's words in notepad: "Well, I understand, Teacher Qin Han. There should be no problem with this arrangement, and I will go back to the editorial department to confirm later."

After confirming the serial time, the two of them implemented some other trivial things at work one by one. After all the work matters were explained, it was not too early and the sky outside was completely dark.

"Teacher Qin Han, how about going to have a drink together?"

"Okay." Qin Han thought for a moment and agreed to Oshino Kojima's invitation.

A comic has been serialized for several years. For such a long time, if the comic artist has a bad relationship with the editor, then such a work experience is comparable to a nightmare.

The reason why "Weekly Young JUMP" was able to come from behind and become the king of the Japanese comics industry was not only a variety of innovative systems that made the industry relish, but also a good cooperative relationship between editors and cartoonists was also an important reason.

Putting aside well-known examples like Kazuhiko Torishima and Akira Toriyama, most of the relationships between JUMP's editors and cartoonists are very good. The entire editorial department has always adhered to the creed of "treating cartoonists as family members."

Many poor and destitute newcomers in the comics industry often take someone to have a good meal after they come to JUMP to contribute.

As a cartoonist, Qin Han knew the importance of establishing a good relationship with his editor. Since Yuo Kojima invited him, he had nothing important to do, so he naturally would not refuse.

The two got up and left the cafe. Qin Han sent a message to Yui Aragaki, telling her to have dinner outside tonight.

"Teacher Qin Han, are you sending an email to your girlfriend?" Kojima Yuo asked curiously.

Qin Han just smiled and nodded.

Yuo Kojima said with envy: "It's so good... It's a pity that I have never had the chance to meet the girl I like because of my work."

"There are so many women in the editorial department, and most of the cartoonists who contribute to "Flowers and Dreams" are women. Do you not even look down on one of them?" Qin Hanqi said.
