The next day, Second World Editorial Department.
A staff member of the sales department suddenly ran in, panting and shouting: "'Young Second' is selling like crazy! Another 50,000 copies are almost gone!"
"Hurry up and get ready, it's time to print!"
The other editors were dumbfounded.
"Printing?"
"I've just finished printing. ā
"Why did you print it again?"
"This is a terrible result, isn't it?"
They're all a little confused now.
This kind of thing is a big deal, and it is generally necessary to wait for the printed magazine to sell out, and then you can consider how many copies to print or reprint according to the results.
Everyone looked confused.
I saw the man in the sales department: "What do you know, "Young Second" sold out all the 100,000 copies printed twice in one day!"
Takayuki Tsuruta was stunned!
All the people in the editorial department were stunned!
Sold out?
All?
100,000 copies??
Originally, it was going to be sold for at least three days, but it was sold out after a day and a night?
Takayuki Tsuruta: "Crazy!"
A female editor in charge was paralyzed: "I'm a little scared now!"
One of them shouted, "Hurry up, inform the president and the printing house!"
Originally, this week it was stable to 150,000 copies, but I didn't expect it to break through the rhythm of 200,000 copies!!
After the sales of "Second World" exceeded 50,000, it resolutely put 50,000 copies on the shelves again, but even so, it was still sold out, which made many people who engaged in magazines unbelievable.
Although the three major weekly magazines are all millions or close to one million sales, more comic magazines are generally struggling with tens of thousands of sales, hundreds of thousands of sales, and you, a new guy, will be serialized for more than 100,000 in two weeks, which is too terrifying, this climbing rhythm, you are going against the sky, overturning the island market!!
Even the editorial department of Kodansha, one of the three major societies, Shueisha, Shogakukan, and Kodansha, which is also known as the three heroes of manga, was also suspicious.
Kodansha is now relatively weak among the three major clubs, so it is more worried that other manga clubs will rise to challenge their position.
Now the popularity of "Young Second" is still fermenting, and even if it sells 50,000 copies a day, it has been swept away, and it is clear that the market is not saturated.
Everyone can't help but analyze why "Young Second" will cause such a sales miracle.
In fact, there is a reason for thinking about it.,Young Two's works are too diverse.,If you want to watch funny and fun, you can watch "Crayon Shin-chan", if you want to watch handsome guys and beauties, you can watch "Saint Seiya", if you want to watch adventure fights, you can also watch "Dragon Ball", if you're interested in sports themes, you can also watch "Baseball Heroes" and "Our Champion", and the more fantastical "Lucky Star Kid", and more importantly, these works are leaders in their respective fields, and the comic works of other comic companies generally can't compete with them!!
Someone suggested, "Let's poach the cartoonists of those comics into our company." ā
The competition in the comics market is very fierce, so it is very common to meet outstanding cartoonists, or editors, and go crazy poaching, so major comic companies have taken very secret protection measures for their editors and cartoonists.
Therefore, it is actually difficult for you to see the true face of many cartoonists in the island country, even if you are a hardcore fan.
When one day, when many people found out that the girl comic they liked turned out to be drawn by a foot-picking uncle, many comic fans were heartbroken......
The predecessor of "Second World" was originally a comic company, so of course, the experienced editors in charge also took strict protection measures against Rumiko Takahashi, Adatsumitsu and others, and generally big-name manga artists stayed in their own homes or studios to work, and then their editors contacted them alone, so as to keep their identity information confidential to the greatest extent.
However, there are no impermeable walls in the world, and some people still find some cartoonists in the second world, and then they are stunned to find that none of the cartoonists want to leave.
The editors didn't understand and asked, "Why did you refuse? Our comic company's sales are much higher than those of the Second World." ā
The reason for the cartoonists of the Second World is also very simple, "The Second World broke 150,000 in the first week, and it will break 200,000 in the second week, can you do it?"
Other corporate editors were speechless and unable to speak.
The cartoonists of the Second World asked, "The wages of the Second World are the highest salaries in the industry, can you do it? and are you willing to pay our liquidated damages?"
The editors of other companies looked at the sky-high liquidated damages and completely retreated.
This is what Xu Wenhui has long expected and guarded against, so the editors of other companies can only return in vain.
In fact, Xu Wenhui signed all newcomers, otherwise, other well-known cartoonists would definitely not sign this kind of contract.
But in other words, you are not a newcomer with potential, and Xu Wenhui will not praise you!!
Therefore, the cartoonists of the second world were basically not poached, and this poaching storm was easily resolved.
What's more, careful editors have discovered that "Crayon Shin-chan", "Saint Seiya", "Dragon Ball", "Baseball Heroes" and "Our Champion", as well as "Lucky Star Kid", the six most popular works, in addition to "Our Champion", this work is not Xu Wenhui's, "Dragon Ball" and "Crayon Xiaoxin" The author signature is Xu Wenhui, and the rest of the "Baseball Heroes" and "Lucky Star Kid" and "Saint Seiya" The three works are also Xu Wenhui and Anda Mitsuri, Takahashi Rumiko, and all cartoonists, jointly signed.
The copyright is in Xu Wenhui's hands, so they poached cartoonists who didn't know their potential at all, and it was in vain that they didn't take away the comics, they were the only one of our champions, and the potential value was also the worst potential among the six works!
Andachong even rejected the invitation of other comic companies, and now the company is developing rapidly, and his two comics are so popular, and the manuscript fee is also high, and the status is even more faintly under Xu Wenhui, and Takahashi Rumiko is as famous, and the supreme status of the first brother of the comics of "Second World".
He only went to work as a small cartoonist in other comic companies that were juxtaposed.
Therefore, the major comic companies in the island country completely dispelled the idea of poaching, and could only use other methods to deal with it.
Two days later.
50,000 copies of "Young Second" were printed.
Sold out in four hours!
ā¦ā¦
A few days later.
On Saturday, 50,000 copies of "Young Second" were printed again.
50,000 copies sold out again!
ā¦ā¦
Reprint!
SOLD OUT!
Reprint!
SOLD OUT!
In the end, the sales of "Shonen Second" reached a staggering 2.03 million copies in the second week!
In two weeks, it became one of the middle-class comic clubs in the island country! This is an achievement that many comic companies have achieved with years of painstaking development!!
Kodansha is crazy...
