Chapter 191: Attack on the Dream Eater
Dream eaters in later generations sold a total of tens of millions of sets, and Zhang Ning doesn't remember much anymore.
However, the emergence of Dream Eaters has established the status of the successor of the new generation of Japanese manga in one fell swoop.
Later, there was the launch of "Death Note", which brought the fame of Dachang to the highest.
If it weren't for Zhang Ning's desire to be careful, Zhang Ning would have printed 5 million copies directly, and he would have been too lazy to print them in batches.
However, it is clear that Zhang Ning's 1 million printed records at his own expense are not understood by others.
Tokyo Shinri Press.
I heard that Shueisha printed a manga with 1 million copies for the first time.
One of the editors asked curiously.
"Yes, and I heard that this work is still a work that was cut in half by a weekly teenager."
"No, when did Shueisha become so bold?"
"yes, hasn't Shueisha always thought that their weekly Shonen Jump magazine was the indicator of the quality of a manga work? How is it that now, a work that has been cut in half, but has a first printing of 1 million copies. Even if it is Master Gong Qijun now, if you talk about a single volume, it has not reached the record of 1 million copies for the first printing in recent years. ”
"Hehe, if I say that the first printing of a million copies of comics was published at my own expense, would you believe it?"
"What?"
Everyone's eyes fell to the ground.
Tokyo Entertainment Television, at this time, is broadcasting a talk show.
"Yoshikawa, what do you think of the standard of the rich second generation?"
"Open a wealthy house, take a dog's legs, and go to the women of the Paoli family."
"No, no, what kind of rich second generation is this, compared to the other, he has exploded."
"Who?"
Who doesn't know, but, according to the media, there is a rich second generation who is obsessed with reading comics, and actually helped the comic author in one go and published 1 million copies of a single book at his own expense. You said, how good the rich second generation should be to do this kind of thing. ”
"No, it won't."
Another eyeball fell to the ground.
A comic studio.
"I bet that Dream Eaters can only sell 1,000 copies."
A comic book writer started gambling with laughter.
"Hey, people can have such a big financial resources to publish at their own expense, 1,000 copies is too little, I bet they can sell 3,000 copies."
Another author also made a bet.
"3,000 copies is not much, it is said that the rich second generation seems to be the son of a certain real estate, the thief is rich, I bet 10,000 copies."
"Haha, you're really wrong, I'll bet 100,000 copies."
"No, you're so optimistic?"
Many people looked at this comic book author with 100,000 copies in amazement.
"I'm not optimistic about the Dream Eater, I'm optimistic about the rich second generation. Inside information, the rich second generation may have sold and bought 100,000 copies by himself, in order to hype. ”
"Damn, that's really possible."
"But let him go, in a few years, it will definitely become a joke in our Japanese manga industry."
It doesn't matter who it is.
I'm afraid that at this moment, when I see the news that someone has published 1 million copies at his own expense, I will also wish that this guy is finished.
Not to mention, for those who are also in the comic book industry.
However, the truth is often beyond many people's expectations.
Although Shueisha's self-funded publishing does not give any publicity to Dream Eaters' sales, Shueisha's cooperation with many bookstores can still provide bookshelves for Dream Eaters. Therefore, after the completion of the first printing of 1 million copies of Dream Eater, the first batch of 200,000 copies of comics has quickly entered various bookstores.
"Hey, there's a new comic book here."
Japan is a manga kingdom. There is hardly a Japanese person who doesn't like manga. Even, the Japanese love for manga has reached the point of being obsessed. This is also the case, as you can see, in many Japanese film and television charts, the box office has always been at the top, all of which are anime works.
Dream Eater has only just been listed, and someone has already found out.
"What a comic."
"Dream Eater."
"Dream Eater, no."
"Why, you've heard of this work?"
"Of course I've heard of it, and I've heard that this work has stopped being serialized in Shueisha's Shonen Weekly magazine."
"Looking at it this way, this work sucks?"
"I don't know if it's rotten or not, but works that have been stopped by Shonen Weekly are generally not much better."
That's right, though.
But for this new comic, even if others say that this work is terrible, some people will still take it and take a look.
"Wow, it turns out that this is a comic that teaches people to draw comics."
"Looks interesting."
This reader watched with relish.
He is a manga lover himself, and although he has never drawn manga, it is the dream of every Japanese to become a manga artist.
At this time, in this Dream Eater, he taught everyone to draw comics step by step, through the way of guò comic stories.
Do you think the most important thing in drawing manga is the artist?
No, you're wrong.
The most important thing in a comic is storyboarding, followed by rhythm, followed by plot, and finally art.
This is a sentence in the Dream Eater's line, and for a moment, many people have a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Slowly, when learning to draw comics in the comics, many people have expectations for the two protagonists to work together to draw comics. They put themselves in the shoes of the two protagonists, imagining that they are them. I drew scene after scene of comics. In the end, it was released by Shueisha, which became a sensation throughout Japan and became a great manga artist.
is different from the serialization method of Shueisha Weekly Teenager, and the single book has a complete explanation from the beginning to the development to the ****. Perhaps, Dream Eater is really not suitable for serialization. Perhaps, it's really possible that the dream eater didn't break out when the **** was serialized. In short, when a one-book Dream Eater appeared, he had already attracted many, many comic book readers.
"I want this Dream Eater."
"I want a copy too."
"I'll take a few back with me for my classmates to read."
"Haha, I have this idea too."
"It's great, after watching this Dream Eater, my mother no longer worries that I can't draw comics."
Many teenagers, many people who like comics, at this moment, seem to have found a soulmate.
They are madly obsessed with dream eaters.
While they expect the protagonist to continue to make progress, they also regard the lines in Dream Eater as a golden rule.
No one knows, under such stimulation.
Across Japan, there is a craze for dreamers.
Whether there are some people who have never thought about drawing comics, or there are people who have thought about drawing comics. In short, driven by the Dream Eater. They suddenly felt that maybe it was also a very meaningful thing to engage in comics. Although, they know that in the storyline of Dream Eater, writing and drawing comics is a gamble, and if you don't succeed, it is equivalent to death. However, many people still enter the army of original comics for their dreams and for their own success.
200,000 copies were sold out in just three days.
Thankfully, Dream Eater had 1 million copies in its first printing.
But Lao is like this, and the speed of selling 200,000 copies in three days still scares many bookstore owners.
They know that for a newcomer, Dream Eater, who has just been listed and is not half famous, can sell 200,000 copies in 3 days. Then, he can sell 1 million copies in the next week. Yes, sometimes, that's how miracles happen. When all the 800,000 copies that were urgently transferred came over, it was still impossible to save all the bookstores in Japan.
Many people who want to see dream eaters have already sold out 800,000 copies of comics.
And at this moment, all the people who wanted to see the excitement, the jokes, and the dream eaters were stunned again.
It's just that the previous dumbness was because I found a brain-dead rich second generation.
But this time they were stupid, but they didn't know how to evaluate some of their previous actions.
However, whether they are stupid or not, whether Dream Eaters are big sellers or not has much to do with them.
The ones who really regret it are Shueisha.
They felt as if they had lost their eyes to a work that defied the sky.
They feel even more that they have done what a stupid loss-making business. Of course, they also feel that if they don't run to contact the rich second generation now, then other publishing houses will definitely buy the second printing copyright of the next Dream Eater at a high price.
