Chapter 185 North American Book Rankings
"Yes or no?
Chen Yixin found that he couldn't keep up with Hou Muyun's thinking, so he had to nod: "Okay, I'll talk to you first." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"This old classmate of mine, named Zhang Mancheng, is a comic of comics, and when he was studying, he said that he was destined to live for comics. ”
"After graduating more than ten years ago, he went to Neon. He was relatively luckier than me, he got into comics as soon as he arrived in Neon, and it went quite smoothly, and his luck can also be said to be quite good, three years, just three years, he really started a magazine with almost nothing. ”
In the beginning, the magazine was under another magazine, and a year later, the magazine he founded left the magazine and set up his own magazine. However, the magazine company was founded with only one magazine. This magazine is mainly used to serialize the works of Chinese cartoonists. ”
"At the beginning, it can be said that I survived completely with the support of the Chinese in Neon. Later, it gradually improved, and at its peak, the circulation of a single issue reached 100,000 copies. ”
"In Neon, in addition to the three major magazines, there are many comic magazines, more than hundreds. It can also be seen that the Neon Country comic market is huge, as long as the works are not too bad, life must be no problem. And the magazine founded by Zhang Mancheng was at its peak, and it was really able to rank in the middle of the stream. ”
"However, because the spring of Chinese comics has come over the years, many cartoonists in Neon have returned. When the spring of Chinese comics came, the capital injection was not small, but there were not many practical things, although the lives of these returned cartoonists have improved, but a lot of them have been 'tied', so naturally there are not so many people who contribute to Zhang Mancheng. In addition, the comic market has indeed declined in recent years, and counting the rapid rise of e-reading and the Internet, the circulation of Zhang Mancheng's magazine has dropped a lot. ”
"At present, we can only maintain 1 to 20,000 copies. At first it was a weekly, then it became a semi-monthly magazine, and now it is possible that it will be changed to a monthly magazine. There are fewer and fewer works, and some Chinese cartoonists are reluctant to vote for him, preferring to serialize them directly on the Internet or the APP of big magazines on the neon side. ”
Chen Yixin smiled: "Oh yes, when I talk about the name of that magazine, it can still have something to do with you! The magazine is called Sky Magazine, the magazine used to be called Sky Weekly, and now it is called Sky Comics!"
"What a coincidence!"
Hou Muyun couldn't help laughing: "Is it really destined in the dark!"
Chen Yixin asked: "After introducing the situation to you, it's time to tell me what your so-called thoughts are, right?"
Hou Muyun smiled: "Don't worry, I still have a question to ask." Is this magazine owned by a friend of yours?"
Chen Yixin thought for a while: "At first, it was a sole proprietorship, and then I heard that there was a partnership, and then the rest of the shareholders withdrew because of the recession. Zhang Mancheng sold the house he bought with the money he had earned before, and he supported it alone. Some time ago, I called him to stop holding it up and asked him to come and read it. He said that he would think about it, but he still hasn't given me an answer. ”
Hou Muyun said: "Let him stop thinking about it, and he must continue to hold on." ”
Chen Yixin was speechless: "What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
Hou Muyun said seriously: "Brother Chen, please have one more matter, can you invite that friend of yours to go back to China once, I want to talk to him face-to-face!"
Chen Yixin asked: "Face to face interview? Is it related to the serialization of "Nine Days"?"
Hou Muyun nodded: "Yes, you can tell him to guarantee that there will be no penny of authorization fees, and the rest will be talked about when it comes." Of course, when it comes to serialization, you ask him to keep it a secret for the time being, and Brother Chen doesn't say it to the outside world yet. “
Chen Yixin became more and more confused: "Xiaohou, how do I feel that you are going to do something big!"
…….
Not long after Chen Yixin left, Xiaopang walked in again, full of joy: "Monkey, look, the North American book list has been updated!"
took the mobile phone handed over by Xiaopang and looked at it, and soon found "Future War" on the leaderboard.
The North American Book Rankings have many lists, which are the largest book-related lists in North America, and can also be said to be the vane of global book rankings.
The largest and most striking of these is undoubtedly the overall list, which records the best-selling books in North America since the list's inception, with the exception of a few regular reprints.
And Hou Muyun was able to directly search for the sales volume of "Future War" in the past day on the list, a figure that made Hou Muyun quite surprised and surprised, 12,000 copies!
Originally, Hou Muyun thought that the sales on the first day could be a few thousand, but he didn't expect it to break 10,000.
This achievement is difficult for even some well-known writers in China to achieve. What's more, Hou Muyun is completely unknown abroad!
You must know that the first physical book of Hou Muyun's "Xuanyuan Sword Master" sold only 16,000 on the first day, and that was the result of the shouting during the live broadcast!
Although "Future Wars" sold 12,000 on the first day in North America, it is far from being in China, but this is already a very terrifying number!
This kind of sales volume ranks third in the science fiction category of the North American New Book List!
The list records the sales of all science fiction novels since its release for ten days, and the sales on the list are cumulative, which means that Hou Muyun has directly squeezed out many new books that have been released for several days after only one day of release!
The other two books that are higher than Hou Muyun, one is a sales volume of 210,000 in three days, and the other is a sales volume of 90,000 in seven days, and the authors of these two books are famous American science fiction writers!
In particular, the first place is quite famous.
It ranked second among the new science fiction books in terms of 24-hour sales, surpassing the second place. Among all the books of science fiction, the 24-hour sales ranking is also in the top 15!
In addition, the most striking thing is undoubtedly the score of "Future War", 9.6!
The highest rating among almost all new books in the fiction category!
In the special page of "Future War", there are rave reviews.
There were a lot of comments, Hou Muyun read them one by one, and then he was relieved.
From these comments, Hou Muyun can see that it will only come after really reading the English version, plus the sales on the first day, Hou Muyun can expect that the sales will definitely blow up after the word-of-mouth is established.
Of course, after reading these comments, at least Hou Muyun doesn't have to worry about the comments or sales that the group invited or domestic fans to help him brush up.
What a start!
Hou Muyun and Xiaopang saw the brilliant performance of "Future War" on the North American book list, and some concerned netizens naturally saw it.
An hour ago, "Nine Days" was third to last in the Neon popularity survey.
Today, Future Wars is ranked third in the science fiction category on the North American book list.
How wonderful, and how ironic!
