Chapter 21 "Go Boy" is released
October 5th, another Friday.
The sky was as clear as a piece of blue paper, and a few thin white clouds, as if they had been sunburned, floated slowly with the wind.
"Hulu Brothers" has been on sale for two episodes, and the third installment is on sale today. At the same time, today is also the day of the first release of "Go Boy".
"Xiao Ming, breakfast is ready, come out and eat. ”
When there was a cry in the living room, Wu Ming was brushing his teeth in the bathroom. Rubbing his eyes while brushing his teeth.
After washing, Wu Ming returned to the living room, looking sleepy-eyed and a little listless.
Li Feng was a little worried when he saw Wu Ming's appearance.
"Xiao Ming, are you okay?"
Wu Ming sat down at the table, ate breakfast in his mouth, and said, "It's okay, but I'm still a little sleepy." ”
Although Wu Ming said that it was okay, Li Feng still couldn't rest assured. In the past, Wu Ming woke up every morning with a full of energy, as if he was still dozing off today.
"You're still a kid after all, so you can't be too tired in the future. In the future, I will go to bed early and rest more every day. I'll oversee you. ”
Wu Ming smiled bitterly when he heard his mother's words, he will be in trouble in the future.
His energy is indeed not as good as before this time, probably because his body is still a child. Children of his age are more sleepy, and the two brothers, Gu Tianle and Gu Tianyin, often sleep until nine o'clock when they are on vacation, so Wu Ming used to go to them at ten o'clock.
I decided to do what my mother had suggested. He didn't want to wait for himself to become famous in the future, but he found that he was left behind.
"Got it, Mom!"
Li Feng sat next to Wu Ming and ate the special dish of Changnan City, Ganjiang Province, and asked, "Today is the day when your "Go Boy" was released for the first time, are you confident?"
Zhou Huimin, who was also sitting on the side, also looked at Wu Ming curiously, she hadn't read Wu Ming's original comic manuscript these days, and the single book would not be sent over until a while, so she also wanted to know how "Go Boy" was.
Wu Ming didn't raise his head to quickly eliminate the food in his hand, and replied: "Hmm, I'm very confident that "Go Boy" can at least sell more than 100,000 copies. “
Father Wu Bing'an, who was sitting on the side and reading the newspaper, poured cold water on him at this time.
"Now the newspapers and the comic industry are all unanimously looking down on your "Go Boy", so it's better not to make up your mind so early. ”
Seeing Wu Bing'an like this, Li Feng stopped doing it and said, "Hey, how did you become a father." Don't encourage children, forget it, and pour cold water. ”
Wu Ming hurriedly comforted his mother Li Feng and told Li Feng not to be angry.
"Last time, when my "Hulu Brothers" was released, didn't they also look down on me like this, and now "Hulu Brothers" is still selling hot. Dad, it's good for you to take a look and understand it, don't trust those media authorities too much, they will know the afterthought. ”
"That is, this time, my son's "Go Boy" will definitely be able to slap them in the face like last time. Li Fengtoe said proudly to her husband Wu Bing'an.
Wu Bing'an saw that his wife was so unreasonable, so he had no choice but to surrender stupidly.
Wu Ming finished breakfast in a short time.
"Dad, after the release of "Go Boy" today, plus "Hulu Brothers" Phoenix Society, you can earn more than one million Hong Kong dollars a week. Our 'gentleman's agreement' is halfway there. ”
Mother Li Feng was also a little surprised when she heard Wu Ming say this: "I didn't expect your publishing house to make so much money." ”
Li Feng never knew that selling some comic books could make such a big profit.
Wu Ming smiled and said, "Mom, this is not too much, and when the Phoenix Society grows stronger, it will earn more." ”
Wu Bingan still wanted to win back some face, and forcibly retorted: "Let's talk about it when your Xingchen Entertainment Game Company succeeds, if it doesn't succeed, this 'gentleman's agreement' will not be completed." ”
In fact, Wu Bingxin understood that his son Wu Ming won, even if the game company failed, it would be dissolved. With the Order of the Phoenix and Wu Ming's comics, Wu Ming is already invincible.
After a while, a group of people left the house.
Those who go to school, go to school.
Going to work, going to work.
……
The major bookstores in Xiangjiang are full of children who come early to buy "Hulu Brothers" or parents who help their children carry them.
Two eight or nine-year-old children, Ah Long and Ah Hu, are lining up and talking about "Hulu Brothers".
They used to read comics a lot, but unfortunately there were few classmates in the class who liked comics like the two of them. But since "Hulu Brothers" came out, they found that those classmates who didn't read comics before also started to read comics, and there were even girls in them.
It's just that after understanding, they found out that they only read "Hulu Brothers", and they still don't read the other comics. Even their parents often tell them to stop reading the previous comics that fight and kill, and are only allowed to read comics like "Hulu Brothers" that are healthy and suitable for children.
"Aaron, we bought "Hulu Brothers" so early today, and we can show off in class when the time comes. ”
"Yes, the last issue of Sanwa was really powerful, and she was not afraid of anything. If it weren't for the snake spirit having the 'Rigid and Soft Yin and Yang Sword' to restrain him, the old grandfather, the eldest baby, and the second baby would have come out long ago. ”
"The big baby is amazing, it's the snake spirit who tricked him into the quagmire. Otherwise, you don't need the gourd baby in the back to rescue grandpa at all. Ah Hu defended his idol Dawa.
"The fire baby and the water baby were born together this time, but it's a pity that they actually saved those goblins. It is estimated that I will be deceived by the goblins again and be caught. Aaron didn't argue with Aaron, but diverted the topic and talked about the plot.
Chatting and chatting, it was finally the turn of these two friends.
"Boss, we want these two copies of "Hulu Brothers". Aaron took the latest issue of "Hulu Brothers", handed the money to the boss, and spoke.
The boss took the money and asked, "Do you want another comic book of Wu Ming's "Go Boy"?"
Ah Hu replied: "What "Go Boy", is Wu Ming the one who painted "Hulu Brothers"?"
Aaron also looked at the boss with a puzzled expression.
In the past, when they read other comics, they didn't pay much attention to which cartoonist drew it. It's just that after Wu Ming became famous, many parents would use him to educate their children, that is, the legendary "other people's children".
"Yes, it's that Wu Ming. He also spent a copy of "Go Boy", which today is on sale for the first time. ”
Positive reply from the owner.
Although Ah Long and Ah Hu were often educated by Wu Ming by their parents, they did not hate Wu Ming. Because Wu Ming was the author of the two of them's favorite comic "Hulu Brothers", when they knew about Wu Ming's situation, they worshipped Wu Ming instead.
"Then give us two copies of "Go Boy" as well. ”
The boss also handed them two copies of "Go Boy" in response, and said, "One is 8 Hong Kong dollars, and two are 16 Hong Kong dollars." ”
Ah Long and Ah Hu were shocked at the same time: "How is it more expensive than "Hulu Brothers"." ”
""Hulu Brothers" now only has 3 episodes per issue, so it's cheap. And this issue of "Go Boy" has 4 chapters, so it is a little more expensive. The boss explained with a smile.
Because the first few episodes of "Go Boy" were a little slow to heat up, Wu Ming was worried that this week's "Go Boy" drawn according to the cartoon might hit the street, and the sales would not come up next week.
In order not to be ridiculed by the media and other publishing houses in the industry, Wu Ming condensed the content of the 3 episodes of the cartoon that could have been roughly drawn into 6 chapters into 4 chapters.
In order to be able to see the two comics, the two friends had to return a copy of "Hulu Brothers" and add 2 Hong Kong dollars for a copy of "Go Boy".
The boss is not angry, after all, "Hulu Brothers" is a hot seller, and he doesn't have to worry about selling. And "Go Boy" has not yet been tested by the market, and it is a copy that can be sold.
The two friends were walking towards school and reading comics.
When Ah Hu finished watching "Hulu Brothers", he was still a little unsatisfied, and then saw that Ah Long was still watching "Go Boy" and talking to himself from time to time, which was really amazing. I can't help but be a little curious, is "Go Boy" also a comic as good as "Hulu Brothers".
After Ah Long finished reading it, Ah Hu couldn't wait to snatch "Go Boy", and then stuffed "Hulu Brothers" to Ah Long.
Ah Long was not angry, and said with a smile: "Ah Hu, this "Go Boy" is also very good-looking, it is estimated that it will be more exciting in the future, and we will have another comic to read in the future." ”
Ah Hu just hummed twice, still looking at his comics, and Ah Hu also picked up "Hulu Brothers" and watched it.
After arriving at school, they showed off to their classmates, spoiling the plot. Other students are also scrambling to borrow their comics.
A classmate said indignantly: "This fire baby and water baby are too simple, and they were deceived so easily." ”
"yes!"
After watching "Go Boy", another classmate sighed: "That "Go Boy" is also very good-looking, "Xincheng Quantu" is too powerful, Jiang Liuer defeated the flower-faced wolf after a few days of study." ”
Another student agreed: "Yes, it would be nice if I could have a copy of "Xincheng Quantu". ”
"You, even if you have "Xincheng Quantu", you can't learn it, Jiang Liuer is a genius, and she can learn it so quickly. ”
There was a burst of laughter.
"I can't believe it in those newspapers, I didn't even plan to buy "Go Boy" after reading the newspapers, but I didn't expect it to look so good. “
"Fortunately, Ah Long and Ah Hu bought "Go Boy", otherwise we would have been deceived by those reports. ”
"In the future, I will read Wu Ming's cartoons, and I will no longer believe what is said in newspapers and TV. ”
A chorus of approval rang out.
This kind of thing happens in many places in Xiangjiang, so "Go Boy" is selling more and more.
By the time the Phoenix Society counted sales in the evening, "Hulu Brothers" still lived up to expectations, with sales reaching 120,000 copies, and the total sales are expected to exceed 180,000 copies.
And the sales of "Go Boy" are also eyeballs, and the sales volume on the first day has reached 50,000 copies. Although it is less than half of "Hulu Brothers", this is only the first time that "Go Boy" has been released, and it is estimated that it will sell 40,000 or 50,000 copies the next day.
The total sales volume is estimated to reach 1340,000 sales, which can be comparable to "Hulu Brothers".
"The boss is really a genius cartoonist, even if he draws Go comics, he can draw so well and sell so much. ”
"Yes, I believe that whatever cartoons the boss draws in the future, I believe they will be sold. ”
At this time, the Order of the Phoenix praised Wu Ming, completely forgetting the worry that Wu Ming was going to draw Go comics.
