Chapter 76: An Yi of Becoming a Multimillionaire
Although the sales of the single book of "Shooting the Condor" are far from being as good as "Heroic Shadow", Ding Hebei still congratulated An Yi and told her that with the sales of this single line exceeding 5 million this month, An Yi has become one of the first-line cartoonists!
You must know that even if the circulation of each issue of "Martial Country" can reach 90 million copies, if you are a reader who has chased serialization in the magazine, if you are not a fan, you will never buy a single book collection, after all, comics are a pastime, and it is normal to forget after reading it.
Therefore, the average rookie cartoonist may be fortunate enough to serialize it on "The Land of Martial Arts", and also released a single book, but the highest sales of their single book can't even break 100,000 copies, like An Yi, which directly reaches 6 million copies, is an absolute comic rhythm of gods!
In fact, the monthly sales of a single book can also be intuitively seen the status of cartoonists in this circle, the sales of less than 100,000 copies, that is, the level of the lowest professional cartoonists, and the sales of 100,000 to 1 million copies, then even if it is a real professional cartoonist, you can support yourself, because even if the lowest 5% royalty is calculated, the sales of 100,000 copies, the price of a single book ranging from 10-20 yuan, and the lowest price of 10 yuan is also calculated, then the author's income is 50,000 yuan, generally speaking, The monthly sales of a single book in the first month accounted for half of the total sales, and roughly calculated, the total income of the author of a single volume of a book can reach at least 100,000 yuan.
This kind of income can indeed make the author a professional cartoonist without worrying about food and clothing, but this can only be regarded as a third-tier cartoonist, but they can already be called "little gods".
Second-tier cartoonists are cartoonists who sell more than 1 million in a single line this month, they can already be regarded as popular cartoonists, and their works can also be animated, live-action TV dramas, and all second-tier cartoonists add up to no more than 100 people, in fact, they are second-tier, or compare them with first-line cartoonists and top cartoonists, they are actually "gods".
The sales volume of a single line of first-line cartoonists exceeded 5 million this month, no more than 30 in total, all of them are "great gods", as for the top cartoonists, they can be called "supreme gods", all the comic magazines in the industry combined, are no more than 10, including 3 in "The Kingdom of Martial Arts", and the sales of a single line this month exceeded 10 million!
Mr. Ke Yongqun's "Heroic Shadow" sold more than 40 million copies that month, which has so far left a few other top cartoonists in the dust......
Therefore, "Heroic Shadow", a national-level comic, is indeed well-deserved, and now its sales are declining, and a large part of it is due to the impact of the new martial arts work of "Shooting the Condor".
But the quality of "Heroic Shadow" itself is impeccable, although the martial arts system is outdated, but its story is still wonderful, and the characters are still nostalgic, anyway, many readers have long been accustomed to watching the serialization of "Heroic Shadow" and buying a single collection, many people have special feelings for "Heroic Shadow", which has accompanied them for nearly ten years......
An Yi's royalty is 10%, which is generous enough for a rookie cartoonist, and Ke Yongqun's highest 15% royalty, of course, cannot be compared, but as long as An Yi continues to increase her popularity, her royalties will definitely increase again.
The price of a single book of "Seven Weapons" is 20 yuan, and the price of a single book of "Condor Shooting" is 15 yuan, which is higher than the average single book, but this is because of An Yi's own painting work, and "Seven Weapons" is a collection of high-quality short comics, and it is more particular about the materials, so it can be marked to the highest price of a single book.
However, obviously, this has also affected the sales of "Seven Weapons", but its own sword has also led to its slight niche, so it is understandable that the sales are not as good as "Shooting the Condor", not to mention, "Shooting the Condor" is still in hot serialization, and "Seven Weapons" has already ended, and it is an irrefutable fact that the serialized works are more popular than the finished works.
The sales volume of "Condor Shooting" exceeded that of "Seven Weapons" by about 1.5 million copies, so that the iron fans of "Condor Shooting" were very proud in Yi'an, and directly ridiculed the iron fans of "Seven Weapons", but the sales gap was there, there was nothing to argue, many iron fans of "Seven Weapons" could only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, but they all secretly made up their minds that once Mr. Yi'an started the long-form serialization in the style of "Seven Weapons", they must use crazy voting to defeat "Condor Shooting"!
Obviously, they are all fans of Mr. Yi'an, but they are forced to this kind of Cheng dù, which has also become an anecdote in the industry, but more cartoonists admire Mr. Yi'an's ability to easily control martial arts comics with different plot styles, as if there are two original authors with different styles but super strength behind him......
Of course, the painting can be seen to be all from the hand of Mr. Yi'an, although there are some slight differences in the style of these two works, but some places can be seen at a glance that it is Mr. Yi'an's handwriting, especially the fight plot, the average martial arts cartoonist, simply can't draw as wonderful and exciting as Mr. Yi'an.
So, what is Anyi's income from the sales of these two works?
"Seven Weapons" is about 4.5 million copies, 20 yuan per volume, 10% of royalties, An Yi's income is about 9 million yuan, the first volume of "Shooting the Condor" is about 6 million copies, one volume is 15 yuan, the royalty is 10%, and her income is still about 9 million......
The two add up to a total of 18 million yuan in income, and after deducting taxes, she can get at least 16 million yuan!
That's a month's income!
It's just the income of a single book!
Earn 10 million a month!
Praise this great China without piracy!
Do you understand why the comics industry in Greater China is so developed?
Do you understand why so many people have aspired to be cartoonists since childhood?
Do you understand why the status of cartoonists is so high?
Because the income of a cartoonist after becoming a god is really amazing, if you can draw a popular work, it will be enough to eat for a lifetime!
However, there are so many people who want to become manga artists and make a lot of money, but the chances of becoming a great god are actually too small! If you can become a "little god" in the comic industry, you can already live a nourishing life......
And many low-level cartoonists, they can't even get the qualifications for long-form serialization, let alone a single book, although some can publish a single book, the first volume of royalties is still 8%, and the sales volume can only sell 8000 copies, 10 yuan for a volume, and the income is only 6400 yuan, as a result, the royalty of the second volume is directly cut to a minimum of 5%, and the printing volume is directly reduced to 5000 copies, 10 yuan for a volume, and the income suddenly drops to 2500 yuan......
As for the third volume?
Where did the third volume come from, the comics were directly cut in half!
