The speed at which Limu completes the steel smelting is about 3p/day, with a total output of about 90p in January, and a small library version of about 300p can be serialized in three months, and the total sales volume of each issue is stable at more than 6 million copies. Theoretically, about one out of every 1,000 people in the world holds a single copy of him, which is still a little far from the 10 million copies of "Our Existence" that will sell in the future, and even more so compared to "Hokage", "Bleach and One Piece".

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, published in 1987, had a circulation of 75 million copies...... "OP" ranked first with 260 million copies, "Skull 13" with 200 million copies, and the classic manga Dragon Ball with 156.05 million copies, ranked third, and this is just the domestic sales, and their numbers will increase over time.

After all, the island countries and the mainland have never dealt with each other, but piracy is rampant in China, and the biggest contributors to sales are Hong Kong and Europe.

The six comics serialized by Shangguo Publishing House in the comic magazine "Shangguo Boutique" are about 36p to 44p per month. The publishing house launched the "Shangguo Boutique" in August, and now it is exactly four months after December, and the 180p paper of the new book judgment book is ready to be released around the New Year on the occasion of the millennium.

Chapter 108 "Steel Refining" Riki intends to finish in 5 years, and it is expected that the library will be a single book of 16 volumes (9 years for the original work, 27 volumes for the new book.) ）

Chapter 108 "From the New World" is also 3P per day, completed in 5 years, and is expected to be a new book version of 18 volumes (3 years of the original novel)

The 2.5 million word "Magic Apprentice" is also compressed, to be completed in 5 years, and it is expected to be 18 volumes (2 years for the original novel)

"Qin Shi Mingyue: The Legend of Jing Ke", which is 25 times smaller than the magic apprentice, has been transferred to the serialization of "Qin Shi Mingyue: Hundred Steps Flying Sword". The next six films can be serialized to "Qin Shi Mingyue: Death of Qin and Chu", if you want to continue to draw "Chu and Han Hegemony", then you will be out of the category of "Qin Shi", and you have to conceive it yourself.

The entire "Qin Shi" - "The Biography of Jing Ke", "Hundred Steps Flying Sword", "The End of the Night", "The Hundred Schools of Thought", "The Great Wall", "Book Burning and Confucianism", "The Death of the First Emperor", and "The Death of Qin Bichu" are each one copy, and it is expected to sell 8 volumes. (The original novels have only 10 chapters each, and each novel is no more than 200 pages.) ）

The volume of "Jiuding Ji" is half that of the apprentice, 6 years, 21 volumes.

"Blue Star of Gargontia" 2 and a half years, 9 volumes.

The Golden Strings, 5 years, 17 volumes.

Of course, this information is only known to Shangguo Publishing House itself, and it was all submitted by Limu when he submitted the comic outline, and the cartoonist has a close relationship with the direct editor, talking about comics, life, and ideals, but only the editor-in-chief like Lu Lingling will talk to Limu about the name of the future child.

Compared with Shangguo Publishing House, which is full of expectations for the authors of the six comics, other publishing houses are worried about the rising Chinese cartoonists. At a time when this comic has already occupied the Asian market and is preparing to march into the world, the Hong Kong publishing house has actually recruited six promising new cartoonists in the mainland.

The comic has been serialized for almost four months. From the initial 100,000 copies, the circulation of "Shangguo Masterpieces" has surged to 6 million copies in less than half a year. Among them, 3 million are on sale in Hong Kong, 500,000 in Taiwan, 500,000 in Europe and the United States, 1 million in the mainland, and 1 million in Yueben.

Although 1 million copies is small, it is a magazine not a single book, and according to the proportion and ranking, it has become the second and third country where it dumps!

Tokyo, Manga Association, year-end meeting.

The issue of "Chinese comics invading the homeland" was put on the agenda of the meeting.

Founded in 1978, the Comics Association is committed to the promotion and publicity of the comic culture, and has become one of the pillars of the economy during the development of the comic industry. The first president of the Manga Association "Osamu

Mr. Tezu, currently, the current chairman is "Kingha

"Mr. Kawa."

Key members include:

Fukawa Sushi - President of SP Company.

Takashun Yoshii - President of Sunrose Society.

Oyama Tokugawa - President of Toei Society.

Triangle filial piety - the director of the Animation Association.

Rigeo Honda - TMS

President of ENTER,

Hideyoshi Nagai - President of NAS Company.

……

and 10 other directors from different comics, animation, and game organizations.

There are 300 other staff members and members. In fact, the Comics Association is equivalent to an alliance, and only two or three hundred people are needed to cope. But if each of the main members unites their subordinates, the association will immediately become a force with thousands of people, and in fact this meeting every year will determine the direction of next year's comics.

For example, do the following "ban on publishing young. Female Books", "Ban 18", "Encourage Bloody Struggle" and other decisions, and then the second young. Women's books will be published less, banned 18 will go underground, and a large number of books will pour out.

Its status is similar to the dominance of the "State Administration of Radio, Film and Television" over national television programs. It's just that the General Administration implements a word-and-say approach, and it says that Detective Conan's "Detective Conan" color of the Shogakukan. Feeling...... And so it was colored. Loved; The Comics Association has taken over the power of the General Administration, and in the discussion of the members of the association, it is decided how to divide the cake next year.

Of course, only 20 people were able to sit at the annual meeting table......

"Okay, let's move on to the next item. This kind of company, which has been opened for less than two years and has a circulation of less than 1 million copies in China, does not need to be brought to the meeting to discuss at all, nor does it need to bother to discuss countermeasures for it. The SP president threw the agenda on the table and urged Mr. Kawa.

There is nothing worth noting on this year's agenda, and he does not want to waste time on such trivial matters, and the closer he gets to the end of the month, the busier it becomes, especially since the end of this month will be a cross-century year.

"President Fukawa, please don't underestimate this company, although it has been sluggish for a year, it has increased the circulation of new issues to 6 million copies in four months!" President Sunrose reminded.

There are people who think that Shangguo Press is not worth mentioning, and there are also people who take it seriously, at least the president of Sunrose, who put it on the agenda.

"President Yoshii, it is not uncommon for magazine circulation to skyrocket or plummet, and in '95 Shueisha Shonen Jump had a circulation of 6.5 million copies, "Dragon

The end of the "Ball" era - after the end of the Dragon Ball serialization, Jump has also plummeted to 4 million, because there are many magazines that have made a name for two manga in one manga. The president of SP said casually: "Whether the magazine can flourish or not, the most important thing is the vision of the magazine editor, have you looked at its "Shangguo Magazine"? Until now, they are still the original team - four little girls. ”

Poor magazine taste also means poor editorial taste, at least the editor-in-chief has very poor taste, and the magazine published in the future is even worse. If there is no change in the number of people and personnel, it means that the company has not been renovated and developed.

Yoshii found that the most troublesome problem came -- President Bukawa probably hadn't read the new issue of the Shangguo Publishing House at all!

"President Fukawa, please take a look at these four magazines."

Despite the size of the company, President Yoshii, who was wearing a suit, bowed his head and handed over the 1-4 issues of "Shangguo Masterpieces" from the table.

Seeing Yoshii's sincere attitude, the president of SP had to take the magazine with both hands.
