Chapter 236
Generally speaking, in this kind of online comic forum, people rarely mention Xiami and Iwate.

Before, Li Ze only saw someone mention Fu Jiang once on the forum, and there were very few replies.

But this time, as soon as he entered the forum, Li Ze saw many posts about "Slam Dunk".

"Small publishing houses also have masterpieces, and Iwate Bookstore's masterpiece "Slam Dunk" has been confirmed."

"Strongly Amway a sports comic, "Slam Dunk"!"

"Brother Xiami Xia is worthy of attention, first Fu Jiang, and now "Slam Dunk", I feel like he is a super rookie with strength!"

"It's good! "Slam Dunk" is good! Looking forward to the next issue!"

After reading several posts, they are generally praised and expected.

Regarding the "Slam Dunk" post, although it can't be said that it dominates the screen and crowds the forum, it is at least a relatively hot topic.

On the other hand, "Little Slam Dunk", which was released in the same period, although the circulation of the first issue of "The Man in Foot River" reached an astonishing 200 million copies.But there are indeed very few discussions about "Little Slam Dunk" on the forum, and the word-of-mouth is quite average.

Some netizens commented: "Compared to "Slam Dunk" of the same period, "Little Slam Dunk" has been exposed directly! It is not a class of existence!"

"The difference between "Small Slam Dunk" and "Slam Dunk" is a hundred "Basketball Water"!"

I refreshed the forum and found that in just a short period of time, there were a few more posts about "Slam Dunk".

"Why can't I buy "Iwate Bookstore"?"

"Iwate is a small magazine. It's not normal to buy it when it's sold out."

"Can someone scan and upload it? I really want to see it!"

"Old man, it's not easy for a new cartoonist from a small publishing house. Support the genuine ones!"

After browsing the forum, Li Ze became in a good mood.

"Well, it seems that my little Xiami is going to become a Pipi shrimp." Li Ze said to himself.

Going out for a walk, Li Ze wanted to buy a magazine from the Iwate Bookstore as a commemoration of the serialization of "Slam Dunk".

At a nearby newsstand, Li Ze looked at the dazzling array of magazines and newspapers, but he didn’t see any magazines from Iwate Bookstore, so Li Ze asked the boss, “Boss, here’s a weekly football magazine!”

"Oh, that's not right!" Li Ze subconsciously mentioned the magazine he bought most often when he was a student, and immediately changed his words: "Boss, here is a copy of "Iwate Bookstore."

"Ask about Iwate again?" The boss shook his head remorsefully and said, "We used to only enter two copies of Iwate Bookstore in each issue. I ordered 5 copies in one breath."

"It ended up being sold out."

"This issue is gone, I will add 15 copies in the next issue, and there will definitely be one in the next issue."

There were no magazines available in Iwate, so Li Ze wandered around for a while, feeling a little hungry.

Thinking of eating the home-cooked dishes fried by Yuzi every day, Li Ze walked into the noble Colonel Ken and ordered a fast food casually.

While eating, Li Ze heard the middle school students diagonally across from him yelling: "The latest issue of "Iwate Bookstore"! 50 yuan, the same price!"

Iwate Bookstore? 50 yuan?
This voice immediately attracted Li Ze's attention. Looking over, he saw a middle school student holding a copy of Iwate Bookstore.

Reselling second-hand magazines?But the strange thing is that second-hand magazines can be sold at a low price, isn't it good?
How come this little brother sells a magazine that costs 20 yuan for 50 yuan?

Sure enough, the high asking price of the middle school student aroused dissatisfaction with his classmates, who protested: "Ergou, you are too dark! You want to sell a magazine for 20 for 50?"

The middle school student known as Ergou was unmoved at all, and said confidently: "50 yuan, no bargaining, you want it, don't push it down, some people buy it."

"Ah, ah, I'll buy it, I'll buy it! This stupid rock hand, why is the circulation so low? This time, you got tricked by you bastard second-hand dealer! Shit!"

He happily collected 50 oceans, and Ergou put the money away, and said with a smile: "Hey, this is called a market economy, and I just make a little money. The slam dunk is really good-looking, and it will definitely become popular in the future. At that time, Iwate will definitely increase the circulation, and by that time, you should be able to buy it casually.”

So Li Ze understood, it turned out to be the slam dunk again!

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly!

A slam dunk can actually give birth to scalpers!

……

From the first issue of "Slam Dunk" serialized in Iwate Bookstore, Iwate Bookstore realized that the potential of "Slam Dunk" far exceeded their imagination.

So Tianniu completely gave up other projects and became the editor in charge of Xiaoxiami.

The promoted Tian Niu sent a reminder to Li Ze, and Li Ze also had the idea of ​​speeding up the serialization.

Li Ze set a small goal: although 20 pages a week is theoretically enough, Slam Dunk is a project that two people collaborate on, so 40 pages a week is Li Ze's ideal minimum goal.

The minimum goal is 40 pages, so the top goal?
Of course, the more the better!
Although the attributes of his employees are not particularly strong, but after successfully drawing the first episode of "Slam Dunk", Li Ze now has absolute confidence in the Xiami brothers and sisters!
Xiami can draw popular and well-received works.

This has been confirmed.

Since there is no problem in terms of level, Li Ze is most worried about the problem of inspiration.

You know, the more sketches, the faster the consumption of inspiration.

As a creative profession, once a cartoonist has no inspiration, it is simply difficult to move forward.

Li Ze still remembered the desperate atmosphere in Xiao Xiami the last time when he ran out of inspiration.

So this time, Li Ze has been paying attention to the inspiration of the Xiami brothers and sisters.

What is gratifying is that although the Xiami brothers and sisters have consumed a lot of inspiration in the past few days, they have been recovering inspiration.While overall inspiration is on the decline, the rate of decline is completely manageable.

Until the fifth day after the release, there are still 2 days before the release of the new issue of "Iwate Bookstore".

At this time, Brother Xia's inspiration is only 12 points left, and Mi Mei's inspiration is only 9 o'clock left, which has reached the warning line.

Fortunately, the new issue of comics has already completed 50 pages, which is regarded as the completion of the task.

Seeing that the employee's inspiration index was about to run out, Li Ze asked concerned: "How do you feel recently? Have you encountered any difficulties at work? Have you run out of creative inspiration?"

And Zhou Mi said with a relaxed smile, "I just opened a new comic, and this is our first long-form serial work! I feel so excited, and the market response of the first chapter is also good, it is simply motivation It's perfect!"

"No difficulty, not tired at all! We are full of motivation now!"
