Rewind the clock to a week ago.

Netizens on the Internet seem to have nothing to do, no one knows what major netizens are doing all day, anyway, if there is anything, you can see the news spread by netizens in the next second.

It's as if it takes two or three days for a scandal to be reported in the media, but netizens can get first-hand news in the first second.

When the first book of Dragon Ball was released, it was only more than ten seconds before someone posted a message on Tieba that the author of Journey to the West had released a manga called Dragon Ball.

The portal was sent to the film network.

To be honest, these are really not planned, it's just such a coincidence, there is a book friend of Journey to the West who happened to see a comic signed by Wufang Panshi on the film network, and at the same time he opened the post bar page, so a post was more than ten seconds apart, and it was freshly baked.

It's like a celebrity posted a Weibo, and after posting it, he felt that it was inappropriate and deleted it immediately, but there will always be almighty netizens who can take screenshots, even if this Weibo only exists for a second.

Tieba is also combing the serialized Journey to the West, although many book friends have gone to the mountains and fields to talk about the pilgrimage, but there are still a large number of book friends gathered in the post bar, but this part of the book friends are new to ancient white novels, although they feel interesting to read, but they feel that the readability is not so strong, so the adhesion is not high.

But they are still people who have read Journey to the West, in fact, there is no shortage of vernacular translations on the Internet, after all, netizens are very 'idle'.

In fact, 500 million netizens, as long as 1% of them are idle and have nothing to do, there are 25 million people wandering around the Internet, which is too large to support the sudden popularity of any event.

"It's impossible, I've read Journey to the West, although it's very well written, but the author's style obviously belongs to the rigorous and pedantic type, how can a comic be published?"

"Isn't there a portal, click on it and take a look. ”

One by one, book lovers took the lead in pouring into the film network and began to read the color board comic Dragon Ball.

And major bookstores also released Dragon Ball villain books on this day.

Imagine how eye-catching it is to have a lost book that is a little bigger than a handy sticker to appear in a pile of books at least 18 centimeters in length, and to attract attention with a small one.

However, the real-time sales feedback of bookstores is not as intuitive as that of the Internet.

Dragon Ball's reading volume continued to climb, reaching five figures, or 10,000, in the first hour.

Comic fans were frightened by the sudden appearance of this book, which suddenly saw a spike in reading, and immediately clicked in to watch it.

Dragon Ball was originally in a hilarious style, so the opening was very appealing.

At that time, Aralei was nearing the end, and Akira Toriyama wanted to finish Araralei and write Dragon Ball, and at the same time he wanted to continue the style of funny yarn manga, so the style of the first part of Dragon Ball was very bright and interesting, and a slightly silly protagonist joke was undoubtedly a good means to amuse people.

But as the Beidou God Fist became hot, the fighting form was very good, and Dragon Ball began to keep letting little Goku fight and fight.

And the story background and plot of the first half of Dragon Ball are very exciting, as long as the foundation is laid with the first half, the second half will continue and will not lose fans, in fact, this is a manga that can be serialized for many years.

A work that has stood the test of time is definitely a hit in the early days.

Because if it is not popular in the early stage, there is no reason to spread it at all.

For example, there was a manga called "Collecting Ghost Boys" back then, and I wanted to make a wave of the "shrine heroine" craze of comics such as "Inuyasha", but unfortunately it didn't meet expectations after the first book came out, so I hung up.

And Dragon Ball, a genre-pioneering manga, coupled with excellent production, makes no sense to hit the street halfway.

And the fighting style of this manga is different from other manga, which is also the root of Dragon Ball's popularity all over the world.

At that time, the American comic has also developed to a new height, and the Japanese comic is just a chaser, and in the end, Dragon Ball has also become the swan song of the Japanese comic in Europe and the United States.

Human beings are aggressive by nature, but humans identify themselves as special.

So martial arts plus humor is a sharp opener.

The official website of the film network did not release all the content of the first part at once, but slowly serialized, on the one hand, to promote the sale of physical comics, on the other hand, the website needs long-term operation, and the content needs to be updated.

And the most liked message under this comic is: "This comic will definitely be very popular in the future, the first edition of the first part is definitely collectible, I want to go out and buy one!"

Although there are all kinds of strange shops, most of them are the same.

Book fans are very obsessed with the so-called original version, which is the first edition.

Dragon Ball because I don't know if it can be popular.,200,000 copies have been printed according to the very high expectations in the manga.,The first first edition has only 200,000 copies in total.,Except for a large number of 'young' young comic fans who have no sense of collection, the rest of the book was all purchased as a collection by fans who found this comic on the Internet.。

The popularity was unexpected.

Because the annual bestseller "Elbe Tian's Lectures on the Three Kingdoms Volume I" sold only 2.1 million copies in the whole year.

Working overtime to catch up with the printing, the second batch was finally put on the shelves again in bookstores across the country.

And at this time, it happened to be the day when the Five Rock Wars ended today, and on this day, Five Rock said that his manga Dragon Ball was sold in bookstores across the country.

Before, most people thought that the two five-sided rocks might be a coincidence, and some Journey to the West fans were attracted by the comic itself rather than by this author ID after entering the comics.

But it was personally admitted by the author of Journey to the West, Wufang Panshi, which is different again.

Theoretically, this is the first published book by the author of Journey to the West, Wufang Panshi, even if it is a comic.

Just because it is a comic, it proves that the script ability of the Five Rocks is invincible in the world, and it proves that the story of the Five Rocks is cast in gold.

Therefore, the second batch of books was all covered by Journey to the West fans.

Unlike the news on the Internet, the physical book was out of stock for two consecutive weeks, and it was reprinted two times in a row, which was enough for the serious media to report as news.

As a result, all major portals and physical newspapers published Dragon Ball news.

"My country's cartoonist Wufang Panshi's debut novel "Dragon Ball" is on the market, triggering a craze for comic fans. ”

Many parents want to buy a book for their children but can't find a place to sell it.

The second reprint finally came out, and this time, Song Zixiao, president of the film network, took a version and directly printed 600,000 copies!

It's a gamble.

You must know that other manga other than American comics have only sold 370,000 copies at their peak, and "Dragon Ball" has completed a record-breaking feat in the second week, coupled with news reports from major media outlets, which should cause a buying fever.

But if it is unsalable, then Dragon Ball will not only not make money, but will also be infamy.

The reason is very simple, unsalable books, you don't need to know because of that, just the three words of unsalable books, it says everything.

The third issue was finally released, and it was already mid-December and it was about to reach New Year's Day 2013.

600,000 copies were sent to major bookstores across the country, and the major bookstores that had not come to the door for a long time became popular, and they all went to buy comics, most of which were parents with children.

Gan Rufang and Jing Ku made an appointment to watch a movie, a new Hollywood blockbuster was released, and when they went home after watching the movie, they passed by Xinyang Bookstore.

"Let's go in and have a look!" Gan Ru Camel drank the unfinished Coke.

Jing Ku shrugged: "What's there to see." ”

"Didn't Song Zixiao say that Dragon Ball is a big hit, if the third printing can be sold out, then you will be a best-selling author in the future!"

"Best-selling comic book author. Jing Ku corrected.

"If you take Journey to the West and sell it, it is estimated that it will set a sales record for all books. ”

"Not realistic, if the term is a few hundred years, it is still possible. Of course, Jing Ku feels good about himself, because this has been proven.

Except for Mao Xuan and the Bible, there are no books that can compare with Journey to the West.

In the end, Jing Ku still compromised, because Gan Rufang just wanted to go in and have a look.

When I entered the bookstore, I was greeted by a father and son.

The middle-aged man rubbed his son's hair and walked out together.

The little boy pointed to the little Wukong in the villain's book: "Dad, Dad, this child has a tail and chokes! Can I grow a tail?"

"People used to have tails, but then they were gone. "Khan, this dad who doesn't read comics, in a word.

"Let's go, go home and watch, walk on the road to be attentive, be careful with the car. ”

"Got it!"

In the bookstore, it is difficult to get off your feet, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the crowds are crowded.
