"Football Player" belongs to one of the three major sports comics, but its sales are the bottom of the three major sports comics, and the total sales in history have not even reached 100 million, which is still the most in the single line of the three sports comics, which has to make people sigh.

If you look at history, "Football Player" has been painted for more than 20 years, and the single book is close to 100 copies, and its total sales are close to 100 million, that is to say, if a single single book is averaged, "Football Player" will only reach more than 1 million, which is far inferior to the other two sports comics.

But the reason why "Football Player" is known as the three major sports comics, it is mainly in terms of influence, there is no doubt that this sports comic has a lot of influence all over the world, mainly because football is the world's number one sport, "Baseball Heroes" and "Slam Dunk" Although the influence is also good, there is undoubtedly a difference in this regard.

Sure enough, although Zhao Chen's residual heat has not completely dissipated, the sales of "Football Player" on the first day are still unsatisfactory, reaching 300,000 copies. As for the sales in other regions, it is necessary to further open the market. For Zhao Chen, this time does not take too long.

It was also when "Football Player" was published separately, Zhao Chen held a meeting with many editors, and finally decided that in order to improve the quality of "Youth soRa", at least one serialized comic should be cut in half every month, mainly based on reader surveys, and the bottom three will enter the half-cut candidate. As for which part needs to be cut in half at that time, it will be decided through the guò meeting. At the same time, after the discussion of the editorial department. Zhao Chen decided to increase the number of manga serialized in "Shonen SoRa" to 15, and the price of the weekly magazine was raised by 2o yen, so it can be said that both the number of serialized manga and the price of the weekly magazine are almost the same as the current Shueisha "Shonen Jump".

This initiative is actually a remake of "Shonen Jump", which has become the highest-selling weekly manga in the island country. This initiative took some credit, allowing serialized manga artists to compete in order to continue serializing, thus improving the quality of the weekly.

But every measure will also have side effects, that is, those who can survive in this situation are basically food comics, and food comics often lack stamina, and in the end they will still enter the ranks of halves. It's a bit of a vicious circle. This not only suppresses the rise of newcomers, but also puts pressure on the older generation of cartoonists.

But the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, this is certain, coupled with Zhao Chenqian's vision, he can minimize the side effects of this move.

Naturally, it is impossible for its cartoonists to participate in this initiative, otherwise the vast majority of cartoonists will not agree. It is for this reason that the manga artists who serialized the manga on Shonen soRa became aware of this initiative through their respective editors-in-charge. They are dissatisfied with their editors, perhaps this can improve their sense of crisis, but it can also be regarded as an indirect squeeze of their surplus value, and it is quite normal to be dissatisfied.

Similarly, this move, which is almost the same as "Shonen Jump", has also been dissatisfied with Shueisha, but dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and there is still some connection between Zhao Chen and Shueisha. In particular, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is still serialized on "Youth Jump", and the ranking has been difficult to fall.

Since "The Legend of Datang Double Dragons" was serialized in "Youth Jump", although it has never won the first place in the newspaper, due to the overall quality and the relationship between many hot elements, perhaps the vast majority of island people can't understand the background of Datang, but there are often many comic fans who will fill in "The Legend of Datang Double Dragons" in the newspaper, and over time they have formed a group of loyal die-hard fans.

Especially when Zhao Chen's fame is getting higher and higher, the ranking of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in the newspaper has begun to rise gradually, and the latest issues are even more stable in the third place of "Youth Jump".

Similarly, the single line of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" can be said to be quite stable. Basically, there are about 500,000 copies on average, which may be far inferior to the classic manga of those island countries in terms of sales, but it is not bad, and it has earned a lot of profits for Shueisha.

It is precisely because of this relationship between the two sides that Shueisha President Kakunan Offensive can only turn a blind eye to this initiative carried out by Tianxia Society.

Recently, it can be said that the world society is making a lot of money. Every few days, there will be a single comic book serialized by the Tianxia Society.

Among them, the single book of "Football Player" has sold more than 500,000 copies in a few days, while the other hot-loaded "Three Sisters of Cat's Eye" is a little less, and the first single book can reach 400,000. As for the other nine ordinary comics, they remain at around 100,000.

In terms of the overall sales of these twelve single books, Tianxiasha is naturally far from being able to compare with manga giants such as Shueisha, which is mainly due to the relatively low sales of "Shonen soRa". However, Zhao Chen believes that with the passage of time, as long as the quality of "Juvenile soRa" is maintained, it will be favored by more and more readers, so that sales will continue to rise, and the sales of single books will undoubtedly increase slowly.

And if you want to win the favor of readers, it is imperative to cut it in half.

After all the manga lines serialized in "Shonen soRa", Tianxia Society counted the specific sales, plus the results of readers' evaluations. After the collective discussion of the editors-in-chief and Zhao Chen, it was finally decided to cut Araki Fei Lu Yan's "Armed Poker" and another serialized comic that sold less than 100,000 copies in a single book.

At the same time, at the time of the meeting, it was decided to start a manga magazine again, which would run five times a year, in order to complete the work in this manga magazine.

Every manga fan has his own preferences, and even if his favorite manga is cut in half, he will often continue to support it until the end, which is also the main sales group of this book called "othec1ose".

Zhao Chen didn't care much about this newly founded comic magazine, after all, "othec1ose" only runs five times a year, not to mention, and the serialized works are cut in half, and the sales can be imagined. But this is mainly to comfort the countermeasures taken by the cartoonists who were cut in half, even if they do not make money.

Sure enough, the faces of the two cartoonists who received the works that were cut in half could be described as iron blue at first, even if it was Araki Fei Luhiko, who had always been kind, but after hearing the editor in charge of them say the comic magazine "othec1ose", the faces of the two cartoonists looked a lot better, at least they took care of their face.

Tianxia Club, Araki Fei Lu Yan, who had just finished talking to the editor-in-charge, frowned tightly and was about to leave, but at this time, a staff member signaled Zhao Chen to wait for him in the president's office.

Araki Fei Lu Yan's face was cloudy, and he felt a little ashamed of the treatment and attention given to him by Zhao Chen, and then stabilized his feelings, suppressed his inner anxiety and entered the president's office.

As soon as Araki Fei Lu Yan entered the president's office, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhao Chen in shame.

"Mr. Araki, please be seated!"

Zhao Chen looked at Araki Fei Lu Yan in front of him with a smile that seemed to be a smile, and looked at it a few times before speaking.

Araki Fei Lu Yan hurriedly sat down, but he still shrugged his head, looking sluggish. Also, at the first halving meeting, his serial comic "Armed Poker" entered the ranks of halving, which made him not only feel ashamed of Zhao Chen's trust and support all along, but also felt very faceless.

"Mr. Araki, I'm sorry that Armed Poker was cut in half!"

"President, it's not your fault, it's just that I didn't draw "Armed Poker", and I can accept it!"

Araki Fei Lu Yan still lowered his head, but there was a little unwillingness in his words, he was a person who was more proud in his heart, but his work was cut in half, which undoubtedly hit him a lot.

"Mr. Araki, I can understand your feelings! However, after all, the Tianxia Society is for the purpose of making profits, and if you want to make faster progress, the measures of cutting in half must be implemented, otherwise it will inevitably suppress other potential cartoonists who want to join the Tianxia Society! ”

"President, I understand this, but I'm a little reluctant in my heart!"

"Araki-sensei, please look up, can you tell me about your dreams?"

Araki Fei Lu Yan struggled for a moment, and finally slowly raised his head, but his eyes were still full of shame and unwillingness.

"My dream is to be a good cartoonist!"

"Mr. Araki, you have the potential to become a good manga artist, otherwise I wouldn't have given you that contract at the time! However, whoever wants to succeed will inevitably have to pay a price and work hard, and you should know that! And do you think your work "Armed Poker" could have achieved this goal if it hadn't been cut in half? If you think you can, I can make it my own to keep Armed Poker serialized! ”

Zhao Chen stared at Araki Fei Lu Yan in front of him, his words were a little impassioned, and he was even more expressionless at the end of his speech.
