Chapter 490: Come and Don't Be Rude
"Bosom Friend" climbed from scratch to more than one million weekly circulation in the island country, which means that it is difficult for fans who enter later to know the plot ahead.
Now that the single book of the four comics has been released, it can be said that it is manna from heaven for this kind of fan.
Therefore, many readers buy the latest issue of "Bosom Friend" and then buy a single book of their favorite comics.
Children who don't have money buy it with a few people, and children who have money buy four sets together.
And after so many years of edification, readers in the island country have a strong interest in collecting, so after the first edition of the four comics came out, many readers even if they read the comics throughout the whole process, and there are also each issue of "Bosom Friend" at home, but they still bought four sets of single books.
As a result, the sales of the four sets of single books have been rising!
Fortunately, Ma Tengdong knew the influence of the four comics such as "Dragon Ball", and he had already prepared the goods, and there was no shortage in the market.
As soon as the single comic book came out, the influence of four comics such as "Dragon Ball" exploded again, after all, everyone has the desire to show off, buy their favorite comics, and always like to show off to their friends, which fission-like help "Bosom Friend" expand its influence.
In this way, the comic book single book shows the addition of "Bosom Friend".
With the release of a single comic book this week, after the end of the week, statistics show that in the entire island market, the sales of "Bosom Friend" easily broke through the 1.2 million mark, surpassing the sixth-ranked "Weekly Shonen Champion", reaching 1.35 million copies in one fell swoop, and it is only less than 50,000 short of the fifth place and the girl's manga magazine "Flowers and Dreams" published by Baiquan Society.
For "Flowers and Dreams" that surpasses Baiquan Club, Ma Tengdong is full of confidence!
The influence of comic books and cartoons is long-term, and it has consolidated the foundation of "Bosom Friend" at one time, and he dares to pack a ticket, and next week, "Bosom Friend" will be able to surpass "Flowers and Dreams" and ascend to the fifth place in the island country comic magazine!
In addition to the island market, Southeast Asia and other places have also been affected by the broadcast of "Dragon Ball" cartoons on local TV stations and the single book of comics, which has raised the reputation of "Bosom Friend" magazine by several notches and increased sales.
In addition to the accident of the island country, the total weekly circulation of various places has reached 1.3 million copies, and the highest weekly circulation of "Bosom Friend" in the world is 2.65 million copies.
Of course, in terms of profit, the profit of "Bosom Friend" is not as large as that of a single comic.
In the island country, the price of a copy of "Dragon Ball" is 250 yen, and at the current exchange rate, it is 1.14 US dollars when converted into US dollars, which is about 6 Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars.
This price is a common price in island countries, whether it is Shueisha or Shogakukan's single book, it is this price, but this price is twice as much as the Xiangjiang version.
This means that selling a single manga book in an island country is more than twice as profitable as in markets outside the island country.
Four comics, each of which has released four single copies, for example, "Douluo Continent" is "Douluo Continent 1", "Douluo Continent 2", "Douluo Continent 3", "Douluo Continent 4".
The four comics together released 16 single books at one time, and in a week, a total of 11.85 million copies were issued in the island market, with an average of about 740,000 copies each.
Of course, the actual situation is that the earlier the plot sales, the higher the sales, and the sales of "One Piece 1" directly exceeded 1.2 million copies.
As for the global circulation of single books, the result is 18.9 million copies, and the largest contribution is "Dragon Ball" with 5.3 million copies, although it is already very high, but it is still far from the record of 160 million copies of the total global single book circulation in the previous life.
As for "One Piece", it is even more so, only 4.64 million copies were issued, barely reaching one percent of the total circulation of 450 million copies in the previous life, and it is also necessary to take into account that the popularity of "One Piece" in the previous life was the Internet era, and the physical book was seriously impacted by the Internet, so that there is a total circulation of 450 million, and the potential of "One Piece" will only be greater nearly twenty years in advance in this life!
The popularity of the "Bosom Friend" magazine and the corresponding single book was seen by the Soga family, and the people of Soga Kohei became anxious.
The comic plot of their copycat has just begun, the world structure and the main plot line have not yet been fully revealed, and readers' loyalty and interest in the comics are not high.
At this time, the original four major comics suddenly released a single book, and each plot is super long, their copycat comics can't be compared at all, and they are absolutely superior to each other.
Even though their comic magazines such as "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" and "Weekly Shonen Jump" have a weekly circulation of more than 2 million copies, and the platform has a very strong ability to publicize, it is still difficult to make up for the gap.
Just when they were anxious, a subordinate suddenly reported a piece of news urgently, which made them feel as uncomfortable as eating.
At the headquarters of the Hitotsubashi Group, Kohei Soga, Ichiro Soga and Sutaro Soga sat together again, but all three of them looked at the pile of newspapers on the table, and their faces were very ugly.
casually picked up a newspaper with a sales volume of 500,000 yuan, only to see a news item on it that read: "The master of the comic industry has lost his dignity and is suspected of plagiarism?"
Then it was written about the "Shenling" of the Shogakukan, as well as the detailed comparison results of the comics of the Shueisha copycat "One Piece" and the Baiquansha copycat "Pokemon" and the original four comics of "Bosom Friend".
As long as readers read this news, they will be led to think that comics such as "Shenling" are plagiarized.
In addition to this newspaper, there are many large and small newspapers commenting on this matter.
These comments all appeared out of nowhere, and they didn't even notice it yesterday, and today they suddenly popped up so much.
As soon as Kohei Soga thought about it, he knew that this was definitely the handiwork of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., which bought the media to pour dirty water on the Shogakukan and Shueisha.
It is even possible to pull them into negative marketing and touch them to expand their influence.
Of course, according to the meaning of Kohei Soga, Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. poured dirty water on them, in fact, they were dirty, but I didn't see any thief willing to admit that he was a thief.
"This must have been done by Jiuding Animation, now we are in trouble, we must eliminate this public opinion as soon as possible, otherwise if we let it ferment, it will have a great bad impact on us!"
Asakasu looked solemn and said in a deep voice.
Ichiro Soga and Sutaro Soga nodded one after another, Sutaro Soga thought about it and said with a serious face: "We should contact these newspapers immediately and ask them to give up continuing to criticize, and at the same time, we will immediately come up with enough evidence to release it to the outside world and nip public opinion in the bud." ”
As soon as Sutaro Soga's words fell, Ichiro Soga shook his head and objected: "This can't be done, it's these newspapers today, we don't know which newspapers the other party has bought, even if these newspapers are suppressed, there may be another newspaper attacking us tomorrow." ”
"What's more, this is passive, we want to press it down, the cost will be very large, and if it is exposed, it will be confirmed that we are plagiarizing!"
Hearing Ichiro Soga's reason, Kohei Soga nodded in agreement.
"So what to do?"
His opinion was passed, and Sutaro Soga was thoughtless for a while, so he looked at Ichiro Soga and asked subconsciously.
