009 Fan Show begins
Encountering Ryo Sansugi was just a small episode.
Every day, Qin Han still focuses on creation.
Because he had to draw color pages, he slowed down and was able to complete about three pages a day.
After the poster was sent to the CM preparation meeting, it was well received, which added another layer of confidence to Qin Han.
By the beginning of August, all 20 pages of serialization on Station P were completed. After Qin Han uploaded the cover of the same book, he left his exhibition information on Station P and Twitter, including booth numbers, sales content, and so on.
His "Daily Reassuring Milk" has nearly ten times more data than the second place, and firmly occupies the first place in the comprehensive monthly, weekly, and daily lists of Station P.
The Twitter account, which was originally just registered and has never tweeted, now has 10,000 followers.
The system's mission was successfully completed, avoiding the embarrassment of wearing a black silk skirt to visit the maid's coffee shop, and was rewarded with 5 fame points.
Things went well with the printing as well. In the end, for the price of 480 yen a copy, I found a factory that was willing to print.
When Qin Han hired a small truck to bring a full fifty boxes of doujinben home from the printing house, there was already a festive atmosphere on the street.
The Monemon festival in mid-August is second only to the New Year festival in importance to the people of Dongying. The prototype of this festival is the Zhongyuan Festival in China, but after more than 1,000 years of development, it has become a festival with Dongying characteristics.
The Menglan Bon Festival is a day for Dongying people to return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors and reunite with their families, and a festival will be held, which is equivalent to the combination of the Chinese Qingming Festival and the Spring Festival. Because there is a small holiday, the CM Summer Exhibition will also be held during the holiday.
Not only the CM Summer Show, but other two-dimensional events, such as the famous Tokyo Game Show, are also held during the Mon Ramon holiday to attract more people.
Fireworks shops are crowded and yukata shops are doing brisk business.
The atmosphere of the Bon festival is getting stronger and stronger.
However, for fanfic creators like Qin Han and thousands of otaku, the holy war that is about to start is the only thing to care about.
The three-bedroom and two-living room apartment is almost completely filled with the same book. Qin Han smelled the aroma of ink in the air, and his heart was at peace.
Just when he was enjoying the silence alone, the system sent a task prompt.
"Main quest - I'm the man who wants to be the king of the fandom. ”
"The task content has been updated. ”
"The first phase of the mission begins. ”
"Goal: Sell out all 5,000 copies of the same book. ”
"Reward: 10 Fame Points. ”
"Failure Punishment: Say 'I love you' to the 100 male cosers at the CM Summer Fan Fair. ”
"Hey, I said system, why is your punishment either basic or dirty, how about something fresh?"
"What, are you dissatisfied?" the system said bitterly, "This is the spur of love! Only by forcing you to the point where there is no way to retreat can you move forward and dominate the two-dimensional entertainment industry as soon as possible." ”
Qin Han didn't bother to pay attention to this strange system.
Anyway, he has already borrowed more than two million from relatives and friends, and there is no way back for a long time, so it doesn't matter what the task punishment is.
"The content of the work is absolutely fine. With the blessing of good booths and posters, the possibility of selling all 5,000 copies is still very high. But are there any other ways to attract customers?"
Qin Han pinched his chin and thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he called his childhood sweetheart.
"Brother Qin, is there something wrong?" On the other end of the phone, the girl's voice was full of joy.
During this time, the two also had many calls, but they were all called by Yui Aragaki.
"Are you free the day after tomorrow, I want you to do me a favor. ”
"The day after tomorrow, is it the day of the CM Homo Exhibition?"
"Hmm. If I could, I'd like to ask you to be a Kanban girl. Yui sits there, and even if she doesn't say anything, she can increase doujinben sales by 30%. ”
Qin Han's words were not exaggerated.
When the otaku who patronized the stall saw the healing smile of Gakki like a spring breeze, why not buy two or three more copies?
"Hmm, Brother Qin, wait, I'll ask the agent. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you. ”
Although Aragaki Yui is not popular now, she is an artist after all, and she must have the consent of the office to appear on occasions like the CM Doujin Exhibition.
The girl hung up the phone and called her agent, Miss Urashima, again.
"Urashima-san, I have a friend who asked me to help out at the fanfair, and I want to ask for your opinion. ”
"What, to participate in the fanfair? is to put on strange clothes and let a group of disgusting otaku shoot the bottom of the skirt? no!"
"No, Kabashima-san. It's cosplay, and it's not as bad as you say. I'm just going to help sell things and be a Kanban girl. ”
"Oh, that's right. ”
The agent, Miss Urashima, doesn't understand the second dimension, because of some news reports, there is also some prejudice against the otaku group. However, she also understands that the animation industry is developing rapidly, and the otaku group is expanding rapidly. If Yui Aragaki can become famous at the doujin exhibition, the fan base will definitely expand rapidly.
My gakki is so cute, just laughing and letting those 10,000-year-old virgin otaku fall. In the future, it is not a matter of minutes for them to pay for it.
Thinking of this, Miss Urashima said, "Okay, I agreed, and it should be considered a location job." I'll send a make-up artist and a costumer that day, and I'll be sure to dress you up beautifully!"
Ending the call, Aragaki Yui breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly called Qin Han to report the good news.
…………
The Summer CM Doujin Show lasts for three days.
The content of the second day is more rotten and female, and there are miscellaneous contents such as various music and data collections. On the third day, most of the R18 content that the people like to see.
And Qin Han's general comics to the same people,It's placed on the first day.。
The venue of the CM doujin exhibition is the Ariake International Exhibition Center in Tokyo's JD Ward.
On the first night of the exhibition, a large number of houses gathered on the road outside the exhibition center. They are fanatics who are ready to queue up all night to snap up limited edition items.
On a hot summer day, otaku sit on the ground, shaking fans, chatting in groups to pass the long night.
Wu Lan and Su Yi are also two inconspicuous people in the crowd.
They are Chinese students, and this is the fourth time they have participated in the CM Homo Exhibition.
This time, I queued up all night so that I could be the first to get my hands on Shueisha's limited edition Saint Seiya art book tomorrow.
As the influence of CM Doujin Exhibition grows, many companies will also participate in the exhibition. The entire West Hall is a special area opened up by CM for corporate exhibitors.
This time, many of Shonen Jump's works will also participate in the doujin exhibition, and a variety of limited-edition merchandise will be sold. There were even well-known cartoonists who were present in person.
Two Chinese students imagined the grand occasion of tomorrow and chatted enthusiastically.
Suddenly, Wu Lan saw a poster hanging on a street lamp in the distance, and her heart moved.
He wiped his glasses, and when he found that he still couldn't see clearly, he said to his companion, "I'll go and see it, and I'll be back in a moment." ”
