Chapter 18: Ranking I
"Ruri-chan, do you want me to take you to school?" After breakfast, Miyahara asked Ruri. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"No need, brother."
"Is Liuli-chan going to start to become independent too?" Miyahara asked, in the past, Miyahara Ruri would not refuse to send him to school.
"That...... Brother, you're okay, today is Tuyao Day, so you don't have to go to school. ”
Miyahara Jing slapped her forehead hard, yesterday was Sealaire's release day, that is, Friday, isn't today Saturday!
In this way, Jun Miyahara didn't go to school, but probably went to the hospital.
Miyahara Jing has always had a feeling of having to go to school recently, because he often asks for leave, especially after this long vacation of more than a week, his attendance has been seriously insufficient, and he is about to reach the highest line of repetition, so in order not to be really repeated, he can only honestly go to school on time.
"Saturday...... I just happened to rent an apartment for a studio, so I had time. ”
Even if it weren't for Jun Miyahara's disgust, Jing Miyahara couldn't put her place of work in her own home, after all, after Ruri came back, Jing Miyahara was not the only one in the family, in order not to disturb the life of her family, renting an apartment as a studio was the best choice.
His remuneration has been paid today, and renting an apartment is not at all financially stressful for him.
But before he could make any moves, it was already past seven o'clock, when the doorbell rang, and Ono Katsura and the others had already arrived.
Due to the need to adapt to Miyahara's time, Ono Katsura and the others work from Monday to Friday from 4 to 11 p.m., and on weekends it is normal from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., so they arrive at Miyahara's house so early.
"Miyahara-kun, yesterday Simariel's sales Akizuki editor already told us, I really didn't expect it to be so successful, here is the credit of our new manga, right?"
After getting acquainted, Miyahara found that Ono Katsura was unexpectedly a very hearty person, which was different from the "very homely" feeling given by ordinary manga artists.
Cheerful and generous, good-looking, Miyahara Jing wanted to ask her why she wanted to be a cartoonist, just like the sea is as deep as the sea, don't you know.
"Mr. Ono, the sales data that came back yesterday is very good, and this is everyone's credit...... Let's not talk about this for a while, you have come just in time, and there are some things to be left to you to do. ”
"What's the matter?" Katsura Ono asked.
"That's right, we can't keep our work in my house all the time, so we have to rent an apartment from outside as a studio, and I want to leave this to you."
"That's true", Katsura Ono also felt that it was not appropriate to work in the president's house all the time, so he agreed with Miyahara Shizu's decision.
"How big is the studio, and what are the rent requirements?"
Miyahara Jing waved his hand and said: "These are all up to you, the area is enough for us to do a few jobs, you don't have to worry about the rent, just let me pay it, but you have to be faster, it's best to get things done today." ”
"Let's share the rent equally, after all, it's a studio that everyone uses together, and we have also received the manuscript fee."
"You still don't have to fight with me, just pay the rent, and when the comics really become popular, we'll share them equally...... That's it, after you have chosen a place, call the Hibiscus Society, I should be there, and then I will sign the lease contract and pay the rent...... By the way, the location of the studio should be closer to my home. ”
"That's all? We know that as long as Miyahara-kun is willing to pay the rent, he will soon be able to choose a suitable apartment. ”
Katsura Ono and the others went to find an apartment suitable for a studio, while Shizune Miyahara took her sister to the hospital.
In their father's hospital room, they saw Jun Miyahara, who was taking care of Yuichi Miyahara.
Although he couldn't help much, Miyahara stayed with his father in the hospital until noon, and in the afternoon he left his sister in the hospital and went to the Hibiscus Society.
"So, after today, this issue of Seemar is basically sold out?" In the Hibiscus Society, Shizune Miyahara asked Yoshishi Kubo.
"Yes, I have to say that the data in this issue is really hard to believe, and according to this trend, maybe we will really have to print it in the next issue." Yoshishi Kubo said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
Since Hibiscus does not have its own printing house, they generally do not make mid-term adjustments after deciding the print volume of each issue, for example, although this issue sells well, they will not reprint, and if they do, it will have to wait until the next issue.
After all, the cost of printing 100,000 copies at one time is different from printing 50,000 copies in two installments.
"In the next issue, I hope to stabilize the sales of 100,000 units, which is the most basic and important goal, so that the hearts of the people of Hibiscus Society can completely settle down and survive this crisis."
"Again, our current goal is to 'survive' and not scale."
"Although this issue of our magazine disappeared quickly, it was because our posters were beautiful and had an unexpected publicity effect, so many of the people who bought our magazine in this issue can only be called consumers, not readers of comics, and our goal is to convert these consumers into our readers in the short term."
"Well, after all, comics still have to rely on stories to move people and attract readers."
If you want to choose between the "drawing skills" and "storytelling" of comics, then there is no doubt that it is storytelling, and comics can only be sold if they make readers feel interesting, so drawing skills are in a secondary position, and the importance of storytelling far exceeds the quality of drawing.
Even Miyahara Jing herself thinks that relying on posters to attract readers is an "evil way" that goes off the rails.
However, the effect of looking at the poster now is unexpected, so although the next issue of Simiel will not have so many coloring pages, it will still come with a poster.
After two installments, it's time for the new comics to attract readers.
"By the way, the flash ranking of this issue has come out, which comic does Jingjun think is the first one?"
Miyahara thought for a moment, then said, "Probably her and her cat, right?" I'm not so sure. ”
"You guessed it, the first place is the end of the short story She and Her Cat, with a vote rate of more than 90%, the second place is the newly serialized unheard flower name, with a vote rate of 76%, the third place is Heaven's Kiss, the fourth is the Crown of Sin, the fifth is the Ancient City Thorn King, and the sixth is Fate."
"Is fate filming at the end of the new serial......" To be honest, this result is not surprising to Miyahara Jing, and "unsuitable" has already been expressed.
After all, Simiel is a female reader.,The ones who can vote for the editorial department of Hibiscus so quickly.,It's basically loyal female readers.,It's not surprising that the top three are all love that teenage readers like.,And fate, which has a strong fighting style, is ranked last in the new serial.。
Sure enough, comics like Fate and the Ancient City of Thorn King should be serialized in shonen manga.
