Chapter 30: Spring Day II
Miyahara Shizune fantasizes about when Hibiscus Society's sales will be able to overtake Shueisha...... However, fantasy is just fantasy after all, and the weekly sales of 6 million orders of magnitude of Shonen JUMP made him a little powerless. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, Miyahara Shizun did not expect that in a few months, the sales of the weekly Shonen ME would properly exceed 1 million, and in addition to the manga monograph, the monthly sales of the two serialized magazines of Hibiscus Society would exceed 4.5 million copies.
"Jing, don't you have any special feelings?" Jun Miyahara's words brought Shizu Miyahara back to reality.
The chorus of 10,000 people on TV isn't over yet.
"Impressions, singing so-so, 60% of the people are not in tune, look at you", at this time the camera camera just crossed a group of more excited people, "There are really people who sing and cry, no wonder I listen to this song There is crying, it seems that there are not a few people who sing and cry." ”
Miyahara Jing's answer made Miyahara Jun a little angry for a while, she didn't believe that this brother didn't know what she wanted to ask, but he deliberately gave such an improper answer.
"Miyahara Shizune, be serious, and then get to the point." Jun Miyahara spends 60% of his life in a serious state, and 30% of the time in a standby state where he can enter a serious state at any time.
This is a strange woman who can frighten flowers and plants and children.
"This ...... It's quite impressive, who honestly used such a thing as the earthquake to exaggerate the influence of the Hibiscus Society...... I think I'm pretty talented, haha. Miyahara laughed to herself.
Yes, Miyahara Jing has no moral cleanliness, compared to those black-hearted businessmen who take advantage of the special period to raise prices, he has a lot of conscience and morality.
The future results cannot be said, but just talking about the current momentum of the Hibiscus Society, Simiel easily exceeded 300,000 copies, and this issue of Weekly Junior ME can exceed 350,000, and is expected to exceed 400,000.
Although Miyahara Shizune doesn't want to say that this earthquake has come, after all, it has caused a lot of casualties, Miyahara Shizune still retains a strong sympathy for creatures of the same species, but in fact, no one can deny that because of the Hanshin-Awaji earthquake, Hibiscus Society got the opportunity to rise, seized the opportunity to rise, and is also on the way to rise.
Now that the tragedy has happened, then using this tragedy to achieve his own goals, Miyahara Jing will not hesitate at all, if it is not for the haste of the incident, or if he can remember the Hanshin incident in advance, he can make the plan more detailed, so that the diffusion effect of the Hibiscus Society is better.
Of course, there is no ifs in reality, and if you can achieve the current effect, everyone in the Hibiscus Society is already very satisfied, and Miyahara Shizun personally has nothing to complain about.
That's what happened, if there was no Hanshin earthquake, no ODA· Nobuna's publicity, relying on ME itself to accumulate popularity step by step, when will it reach 400,000 sales? When will it be changed to weekly?
Optimistically, it may take more than a year, unless something else happens that can detonate the popularity of the work.
It's a good thing that the serialized works on ME are suddenly animated in large quantities...... Of course, with the current situation in the animation market, this kind of thing is impossible to happen, and Hanshin will not happen again.
And now, in just two months, ME has not only begun to sell 400,000 units, but has also become a weekly magazine, which no one at Hibiscus has ever thought of before, and no publishing house has expanded rapidly in this way before, so this is unprecedented.
Then, after that, the industry will find out where the Hibiscus Society is expanding rapidly, it is simply like blowing up a balloon.
Who is happiest in this process? In fact, it's not the people of the Hibiscus Society, nor the Miyahara Shizu, but their die-hard fans.
In the past, Hibiscus fans told people that their favorite work was Fate, the crown of sin, and the reaction of the friends was this, "What is it?" I've never heard of it.,I'm still watching my JUMP.,Where is the last issue of Kenshin updated? How many minutes did Sakuragi play? ”
The fans of the Hibiscus Society can only cry silently with the nameless comics in their arms.,It's obviously a very good work.,Why don't you know about it.,Why don't you turn a blind eye?,Why is the excellent painting style and story buried?
It's very simple, there is no publicity and exposure.
Now, whenever these works are mentioned, the reaction will be something like this: "Know, know, ODA· Nobuna, it's all over them now, is there anything super cute, who do you like the most, Kaichi, isn't it? Now I'm also starting to buy ME and Celeliar.,I just don't know when the Crown of Sin will come out in a single book.,It seems to make up for it.,I don't even know the previous plot.。 ”
Ghost singer Kajiki is ODA· Nobuna's "Captain".
On the premise of not looking at the work, SABER who does not wear armor is not as popular as Kaji.
Rin Tosaka, who doesn't wear a uniform and isn't arrogant, can't compare to Kasuke.
The two ceremonies of not wearing a kimono with a red jacket, not playing with a short knife, and not showing off the pupil technique are not as popular as Kasuke.
In short, the reaction of these people gave the old fans of Hibiscus Club a certain sense of satisfaction, so they could steal the fun.
I would like to point out that the earthquake relief songs produced by the Hibiscus Society are not on sale now, and the sample discs broadcast on TV stations and the sample songs broadcast in video stores are all released as free gifts.
It's not that the Hibiscus Society doesn't want to sell discs, but it can't be sold, especially at this time, the behavior of the Hibiscus Society has caused disgust and resistance from some defenders, if they start buying this CD now, they should be able to sell big sales, and even take something like "the highest-grossing single in history", but it looks too ugly like that, and it is likely to be questioned about making a fortune, and Miyahara Jing still attaches great importance to the reputation of the company, so he didn't do such a thing.
Now that some small money is no longer in his eyes, he can make the magazine rush to this kind of sales in a short period of time, and he has "what more can he ask for".
At least the heat of the Hanshin earthquake will not be released until the heat of the Hanshin earthquake subsides.
But there were always people who wanted to buy the disc, but it wasn't sold at all, so they found two more on the shelves in some bookstores with the help of ODA· Nobuna's name、CD that has been eating ashes all the time that was tepid。
So they tried it out, and then found out if these two songs were more popular and had better melodies.
You have to admit that pop music is always more popular with young people than songs like please give me wings, and this kind of love is not time-bound, even if there is an earthquake outside, but it is only the Kansai area that is causing the earthquake, and there is no problem selling these two CDs in other areas.
So throughout February, BIOS and BraveShine have been hanging on a certain list of the public trust list, and they have won 1 place each, and they have not fallen out of the top 10 so far.
The two bundled CDs have sold more than 200,000 copies so far.
Of course, anyone who has an ear will find that this ODA· Nobuna and ODA, who is now singing Please Give Me Wings· Nobuna is not the same thing at all.
Not to mention the timbre, the previous ODA· Nobuna was clearly one person, but now it's four.
At this time, the benefits of making the voice actor or singer anonymous are revealed, and the audience is saying, what do you say? I don't listen, ODA · Nobuna has always been an ODA· Nobuna。
They also said that some people are also looking for trouble, and the song will be over soon, where are there so many questions.
Of course, some people are happy about the rise of Hibiscus, and naturally some people are unhappy, and the first one who is unhappy is not the small and medium-sized manga publishers who are afraid of being encroached upon by the Hibiscus Society, nor the large publishing companies like Shueisha, but a game manufacturer.
Square Enix.
The sudden rise of Hibiscus means that some of their "compulsory" acquisition plans have failed, first, the cost of compulsory acquisition of a publishing house with an overall monthly circulation of 2 million is too great for them to gain more than they lose.
Second, Hibiscus is now in a high-profile situation, and those "compulsory" takeover measures are likely to be exposed by the media, and the disgraceful behavior is known by the media, which is quite a bad thing.
Well, it's not good.
Square Enix could only stop and strongly condemn himself, why didn't he execute the acquisition plan of the Hibiscus Society earlier, otherwise they would have made a fortune now.
Well, they can only silently turn around and work on their own comics.
The company that is in second place in the unhappy index is more interesting.
It is an animation production company, and its name is GAINAX.
That's right, it's the same GAINAX that clings to the copyright of EVA and refuses to even give a one-time license to a single character to a partner company that holds the copyright with him.
The GAINAX who rejected Shizu Miyahara is now repentant.
Sample, do you know the power of the protagonist's aura?
In terms of results, of course, GAINAX does not have any losses, but many times people are like this, they feel that they suffer if they can't take advantage, and they begin to fantasize at this time, if they hadn't rejected Miyahara Jing at that time, how EVA would have been popular at this time......
Yes, if there were EVA characters on the scene, this work would indeed be able to get a lot of attention before it aired, and even after the anime aired, it would be able to squeeze the other ODA characters of the Hibiscus Society to the point of having no friends...... Because the power of anime is much stronger than that of manga, this is what Miyahara Shizune did not think about at that time.
HOWEVER, THEY THOUGHT ABOUT IT A LOT, EVEN IF GAINAX REALLY AGREED AT THAT TIME, BECAUSE OF THE PRODUCTION TIME LIMIT, THERE WAS NO PART OF THE APPEARANCE OF AYABA REI AND ASUKA IN THIS SONG, DIDN'T YOU SEE THAT EVEN THEIR OWN CHITANDA AIRU WAS ELIMINATED.
In fact, by this time, in terms of propaganda and expanding influence, Hibiscus Society no longer needed EVA.
Of course, investment is investment, EVA is still very valuable, and no one will get along with money. (To be continued.) )
