Chapter 502: The first week's sales are out

This more than a week is probably the most lively time since the establishment of the physical store of Chiyo Bookstore, and a large number of readers enter the store every day to ask about the news about "Fate/staynight[Heaven's Feel]", and the continuous replenishment of the physical store will soon be snapped up by customers, even if Chiyo Bookstore uses the limit on the number of novels to buy scalpers, On the Internet, both the novel and the Juvenile Golden Twinkle Hero Card that comes with the purchase of the novel have been speculated to more than double the price of buying the entire novel.

On the evening of the eighth day after the novel's release, Chiyo Shoten's official website announced a news that shocked the entire light novel industry, "Fate/staynight [Heaven's Feel]" sold 4.5 million copies in the first week, with an average of 1.5 million copies per volume. The huge data has made countless light novel practitioners unbelievable, polishing their eyes and wondering if they have been dazzled by one more zero.

Suspicion is of course, because in the past, even if it was the most outstanding and popular light novel of the year, the first week sales of the most popular light novel could exceed 200,000 is a remarkable number, and the highest record created by the well-known domestic novelist Fog Mirror Ruri when he was involved in the light novel industry was only the first week sales of nearly 300,000, and then this data was broken by the first week sales of 500,000 copies of the final novel of "Fate/zero" with the dual popularity of the "Fate/zero" animation and the "Knight's Twilight" animation.

The novel sold 1.5 million in the first week? What kind of concept is this, the data of 1.5 million sales alone should belong to the accumulation of some popular works for several years or even the last ten years.

There is a bottleneck in the light novel industry, the bottleneck itself is the number of readers, even if the novel is good, people who are not interested in the novel still dare not be interested, although the sales of "Fate/zero" 500,000 in the first week are exaggerated, with the blessing of two popular animations, this sales data is also said to be in the past, at that time, many industry insiders thought that this number was close to the limit of the domestic light novel market in the 11th district, and there could be no higher first-week smiles.

1.5 million first-week sales of the novel? What does it take to create such a horrific result, the number itself is very close to the total number of readers who will buy the novel, that is, at least every light novel reader has a copy of "Fate/staynight [Heaven's Feel]".

According to the statistics of some light novel practitioners, the average sales volume of 1.5 million copies per book is far from the limit that "Fate/staynight [Heaven's Feel]" can reach, because 4.5 million copies of the novel sold is the total number of copies printed. Chiyo Bookstore has been established for more than 50 years, and in terms of seniority and connections, it belongs to the veteran level of the publishing company, and during this time, it has also been crazy to contact other cooperative publishing companies or printing houses to print novels overnight, and the number of prints has reached 4.5 million in a week, but the 4.5 million printing volume invested in the physical stores of Chiyo Bookstore has not even splashed a splash, and basically the inventory will be cleaned up in less than half a day.

If the printing speed can keep up, no one knows how far "Fate/staynight [Heaven's Feel]" will sell in the first week, maybe 2 million, maybe 3 million.

Everyone knows that this is a terrifying sales achievement and the game "Valhalla" or the Moon series IP created by Kamiya Yu's painstaking efforts, the novel has "Fate/zero" this article, the seven Heroic Souls side story, the animation has "Fate/zero", [Sunrise] "Knight's Twilight" of the animation production company, different comics created by three manga artists, and the game "Valhalla", these industries can see the figure of the Moon World and have achieved remarkable results, and now it is [ The time when the ripe fruit is harvested.

The titular sequel to "Fate/zero" [Like Heaven] has created such an amazing achievement, of course, the animation production company of [Fate no Kong] can't leave it alone, although Yu Kamiya just wants to fill the hole, and Aoi Morishita, who has a keen sense of business, instructed the operation department to negotiate terms with major companies in related industries.

Chiyo Shoten is one of the top publishing companies in the 11th district, and it is naturally impossible for it to be responsible for only one section of light novels, and anime magazines are one of them, and there are also manga weekly magazines. Chiyo Shoten has been doing its best to cooperate with [Edge's Void],[Edge's Void] animation production company naturally wants to come up with some sweetness,This time Morishita Aoi opened the right to Chiyo Bookstore to belong to the second creation of the type moon world series,All the novelists or manga artists under the Chiyo Bookstore can be based on the second creation of the type moon series of the world,The rights and benefits of the work all belong to the author or the Chiyo Bookstore itself。

The authors and manga artists of Chiyo Shoten's family were ecstatic to the fact that the Moon series is so well-known that works based on the Moon series are easier to get results than ordinary original paintings, not to mention that all the rights to the secondary creation belong to the authors themselves. This means that they don't have to pay anything to continue working on a hit work.

Aoi Morishita knows very well what Yu Kamiya wants and the current situation of [Edge's Sky], since there is no shortage of money, then Yu Kamiya must be more willing to see the IP he created be promoted and become an evergreen tree in the ACG industry in District 11.

The operation department of the game company is inseparable from a series of big moves in "Valhalla", and the company updates "Valhalla" internally, and also deals with matters related to the Chinese agent [BiuBiuBiu] outside, and cooperates with [Chiyo Bookstore] to issue redemption codes and so on.

・・・・・・

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is June of the rainy season, and the mythical topic of the sequel to "Fate/zero" [Like Heaven] to create a first-week sales of 1.5 million has quietly disappeared, and the data of the first week of follow-up novel sales is not as crazy as it was at the beginning, without the support of the "Valhalla" game, the first week of sales of a novel released every week is about 500,000.

The plot of "Fate/staynight [Heaven's Feel]" still satisfies the reader, Kamiya's leisurely writing and exquisite illustrations, the whole story is relaxed, the tragic fate of the cherry blossoms, the protagonist Emiya Shirou vs. Red A until the true image of this fateful duel is revealed, the shock of the story is no worse than the original conquering king Iskandar and the hero king Gilgamesh, this kind of battle setting with the future self is the first time in this world.

The update content of "Valhalla" is gradually unlocked with the progress of the novel's release, and the relatively unremarkable Assassin Sasaki Kojiro and Caster Medea in the novel are all sought after, especially the distressing character of Caster Medea, Kamiya Yu deliberately added a scene to her in the game, and specially drew her own CG to fill her plot missing in the novel.

has been betrayed.,From the witch who was called a betrayal to the desire for love in my heart.,Until I met Soichiro Katsuki, this wish was still not fulfilled.,And Illya von Einzberen and Sakura Makiri can be called the three tragic female characters of [Like Heaven].

The ending of the novel is also satisfactory to most readers, the true image of the Holy Grail is revealed, and the Sakura Makiri, who has been living an inhuman life, finds her true home, and everything that Shirou Emiya has done to save Sakura is also shocking, and the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City has come to a perfect end.

Yu Kamiya spends his days peacefully, and every day when he goes to work, he travels to three places: [Yuanzhikong] animation production company, [Yuyuku] animation production studio, and [Mirror Flower Water Moon] game company, and his life is also full and interesting.

Kamiya Yu and Kamiya Dome are completely adapted to life in a Japanese-style mansion, Kamiya Dome is used to getting along with Poison Island Purple and Uehara Eizuki, which is not a bad thing for her, Kamiya Yu works in the study or needs to work overtime in an emergency, Poison Island Purple and Uehara Emi Moon are a care, Kamiya Dome gradually has the same topic as them, and there is no stiffness in getting along.

Recently, there was an incident in the [Edge-of-Sora] animation production company with a Japanese-style mansion to make waves.,Uehara Eizuki resigned from the [Edge-of-Kong] animation production company due to physical reasons.,Uehara Aezuki is the [Edge-of-Kong] animation production company's veteran-level existence.,The most important original painting department for animation production has been established at the beginning of her career.,The sudden resignation naturally surprised the [Edge-of-Kong] animation production company.,There are different opinions.。

The reason for Uehara Emuetsu's real resignation is only known to a small number of people.,That is, Uehara Eizuki is pregnant but wishes to be pregnant.,Now she's a complete farewell to the animation industry.,Even if she plans to be a full-time housewife at home safely in the future.,It's a happy home for Yamato Nadeshiko like her.。

When Yu Kamiya knew the news, his heart was very complicated, and he felt a heavy feeling in his heart. Kamiya Dome was very calm, and he was mentally prepared to know the news for a long time.

Uehara made relevant arrangements before leaving, and the animation production company has become one of the deadliest animation production companies in the industry, and she doesn't have to worry about finding talents with generous treatment, and her position is held by the deputy painting supervisor she has been cultivating, except for the initial chaos, it did not affect the production of "Lelouch the Rebellious".

The first 2D Japanese-style animated film "Five Centimeters per Second" produced by Yu Kamiya was officially completed, and the production link could be ended as early as May, but the film was scheduled to be broadcast in June to polish the edges and corners of this work, after all, the [Yuu no Kong] animation production team is not mature, and most of the processes for the production of "Five Centimeters per Second" are contracted out.

Those freelance original artists or studios who took over [Yu's Sky] as a commission felt quite reluctant, although the painting of "5 Centimeters per Second" was demanding, and the enviable revenge and sufficient painting time were not a problem at all, and most of the original artists received the equivalent of previous years in half a year.

Art director Kumamoto Alice was transferred to the [Edge of the Sky] animation production company in May, on the one hand, her ability is very good to make up for the lack of Uehara Eizuki, and on the other hand, it is convenient for her to complete the "Five Centimeters per Second" animation The hardships and sweat she paid are undoubted, and the finished product of "Five Centimeters per Second" can reach the height of Kamiya Yu's heart and her personal efforts are inseparable, Kamiya Yu naturally kept her promise and transferred her back to the [Edge of the Sky] animation production company.

Uehara Emitsu has a very deep understanding of Western culture, and when Yu Kamiya rarely interferes in production, she directs the art department, and she leaves the [Edge-no-Kong] animation production company, and Kumamoto Alice fills this gap perfectly, and she is born in a famous British family, and her understanding of British art is no worse than that of Uehara Eizuki.

Although the budget of "5 Centimeters per Second" has reached 3 billion, [Yuno Sora] is also pursuing high quality regardless of the cost, and the actual production cost can reach 1.8 billion yen, and the excess budget cannot be invested in it, and the animation production industry in District 11 is so large that investing in some unfamiliar foreign animation production companies may involve more trouble than gain.

During this time, the animation production company seized the time to promote this animated film, and the investment of 1.8 billion yen was a little higher than the total investment of the 60 episodes of "Lelouch the Rebellious", which can be described as the biggest effort since Yu Kamiya made animation, and Aoi Morishita could not allow this work to fail miserably because of non-work problems.

Set on the name of Yu Kamiya and the amazing picture quality of the PV released at the beginning, there are still quite a lot of viewers in 11 countries who are interested in "Five Centimeters per Second".

There has never been a master-level character like Hayao Miyazaki in the world's 11 animated films, and a large part of the animated movies are actually an extension of a certain TV animation, but the sluggishness of TV animation is naturally not much better than the classification of animated films, as for original stories like "Five Centimeters per Second", the first choice is live-action movies.

In terms of the market, the film industry in District 11 has been rubbing the animation industry on the ground.

The competition of movies is much more fierce than that of animation, first of all, it is a matter of publicity, which is very important for an animated film without an original work, although [Yuanzhikong] spent a lot of money on publicity, but it is limited to the animation industry and is not as strong as some professional film and television companies, fortunately, as the old partner of [Yuanzhikong] animation production company, Chiyo Shoten [Sunrise] animation production company, TV Tokyo, etc., provide different support.

Yu Kamiya's name and the production budget of up to 1.8 billion yen make the cinemas in District 11 also not to be underestimated for this animated film, before Yu Kamiya's other 3D animated film "Rwby" relied on a low film rate and high box office to become a dark horse at the time, so this time it was given a schedule rate equivalent to that of a masterpiece.
