Chapter 297: Readers' Ratings
There were many of them on this day, but apparently most of them were unexpected, they were not as cautious as the Deadwood boss at first, and they were so cautious that they went to the Tianxia Society in person. From the very beginning, they subconsciously thought that this time Zhao Chen, the horror comic publication of the World Society, only had one work, but they didn't expect that the real one was a full three, although it was in cooperation with others, but how different it was from Zhao Chen's independent creation, I believe that most readers will automatically ignore the second author.
After reading the semi-monthly magazine "DeathAndDecay", these bosses ordered their subordinates to place orders for Tianxiashe overnight, in order to avoid greater losses.
Although Zhao Chen would think of this situation, he secretly expanded the printing of "DeathAndDecay" by 100,000 copies, plus the 200,000 that had been ordered before, and printed 300,000 for the first time. In his opinion, this is just a new comic publication after all, even if it has its own fame blessing, but after all, it is a fight with the three major societies, and the sales of the first issue should be so much.
But he still underestimated his influence and the charm of the three horror works that were bound to become classics, and when he received the notice from his secretary, he found that in less than one night, the extra 100,000 copies of the semi-monthly magazine "DeathAndDecay" had been sold out, and there were more than 100,000 orders, which was terrifying!
"Let the publishing house print 200,000 copies as quickly as possible to avoid a hollow market!"
Zhao Chen's words immediately made the behemoth of the Tianxia Society run extremely fast, and one department after another began to enter an orderly working state, they knew that this day was very important, and a bad one might produce a negative situation.
In addition to the fact that the Tianxia Society has entered a busy state, the three major societies that originally thought that they would be busier today have all fallen into the cold field, and the new horror publications have not had a few more orders at all. This situation was also quickly known to the top management of the three major societies.
"Three works, what a good work! This time, the joint publication of the three major societies is afraid that it will be stillborn again, alas! The president of Shueisha, Kakunan Attack, had a cloudy and uncertain face, although his eyes were looking at the comics, but his mind was quite erratic, and he knew that this time it was just his wishful thinking to fight with Tianxia Society. The alliance of the three major societies is indeed very strong, but there is a big gap compared with Zhao Chen's three works.
Not only Kakunan conquered this conclusion, but the presidents of Shogakukan and Shirakusen also thought about it, as presidents, in addition to exemplifying the company's development plan, they would also pay close attention to their own or their rivals' manga publications, and over time, they also had a considerable understanding of this aspect, and they would unanimously come to this conclusion.
Not to their surprise, when the two sides entered the stage of death on this day, it was difficult to distinguish the winner at first. But when more and more comic fans knew that Zhao Chen had three works in the semi-monthly magazine "DeathAndDecay", many comic fans who were originally undecided immediately chose "DeathAndDecay" instead of "Coldwinter" of the three major societies.
This situation has increased with the passage of time, mainly because some comic fans have come to a conclusion after reading two comic book publications, which has shifted the choice of many comic book fans.
Their conclusion is very simple, Zhao Chen is still that Zhao Chen, although the three works are only the first issue, they all leave impressive suspense and perfect and full characters. As long as the quality is maintained, it is a rare boutique, and it has the foundation to become a classic comic.
Especially Zhao Chen's work "Ghoul". It is obviously stronger than the other two in terms of painting and style, and it is a rare beautiful work. You must know that there are many comic fans who like the most beautiful works, but the best of the current beauty paintings is undoubtedly the founder Zhao Chen, and this is recognized by both comic fans and so-called industry insiders, at least there is no close connection at present.
In such a situation, although the strength of the Tianxia Society is not as good as that of the three major societies. However, because the "Coldwinter" of the three major societies is not comparable to Zhao Chen's master cartoonists, the attention it has naturally received is too small, so this situation has arisen. But even if there is a master who will serialize the manga in this new manga magazine, I'm afraid that no matter how good the quality is, in the case of 1VS3, it will only be a good share.
In these three new comics. Although "Ghoul" is Zhao Chen's work alone, the work that can be loved by more comic fans is "Parasite". This is mainly the relationship between the previous issues of "Ghouls" used to leave suspense and create atmosphere, "Ghouls" comic has few combat elements, and there are no gorgeous and wonderful skills, its most prominent thing is undoubtedly the setting of human nature and the weird sense of substitution. And "Parasite" has gained more love from comic book fans with its novel setting and combat elements as soon as it appeared. As for the last "Tomie", it has undoubtedly received the least attention at present, but when "Tomie" enters the climax of each story, the popularity is afraid that it will suddenly soar, and after this anime is adapted into a movie, it is on a par with "Midnight Wind Chimes" and "Curse", and the bloody horror of this manga can be imagined, just thinking about the dismemberment of the corpse and the resurrection plot can be seen. This is the difference between the three horror comics, and it is difficult to distinguish which is higher and which is lower.
Similarly, although these three are all horror comics, the characteristics are completely different, and there is no sign of 'carving up' comic book fans, it can be said that there is no influence between the three comics, but it has become more and more intense with the discussion of comic book fans, and it is temporarily nicknamed the three horror comics by comic book fans!
The main reason is not only the high quality of the three comics, but also the difference in the characteristics of the three comics, which is used to distinguish the three main comic forms of horror comics. However, in order to truly win this award, in addition to maintaining quality, you also need a huge reputation and sales as a foundation.
Just like the three major sports comics and the three major comics of migrant workers in later generations, these six classic comics are selling well, and the ratings are even higher, so they will be jokingly called by many comic lovers.
Yes, it is undoubtedly very difficult for these three horror comics to win this award, but because horror comics are currently a small category, and horror comics are often relatively short, presumably compared to the three major comics of migrant workers, the requirements will undoubtedly drop by one or two grades. As for the ratings, the manga sales are good, and as long as the anime doesn't cut corners, the ratings can still be guaranteed.
Zhao Chen didn't know anything about this, anyway, he was like this, he was usually a dead house, which may also be the sadness of most cartoonists.
He undoubtedly pays attention to the evaluation of comic fans and industry insiders, although he doesn't care about it, but as long as the score is good, it means that the various indices of comics will also rise.
"President, the reader evaluation of this issue has been completed, this is what you want!"
The secretary put a document in front of Zhao Chen, and his expression was extremely respectful.
Reader reviews are not a record of the reviews sent by each reader, but a thousand copies are drawn from a large number of reader evaluation forms, and then recorded and then counted.
Looking at the reader ratings in front of him, Zhao Chen did not have any surprise on his face. Readers rate a maximum of 10 points, then revoke the lowest and highest ratings, and then get an average, which is currently exclusive to the DeathAndDecay horror semi-monthly.
This scoring method is actually the same as the movies on the Internet in later generations, in addition to ranking, the purpose is to attract more people to watch, after all, many people watch reviews or ratings first, whether they watch movies, novels or anime, so as to avoid most of the 'poison', so as not to waste time and money.
Although the most popular in the first issue is undoubtedly "Parasite", but in this rating, the highest is "Ghoul", and "Parasite" ranks second, the main reason is very simple, the painting of "Ghoul" is obviously better, far from being comparable to the fledgling Yanming. And the third place is undoubtedly "Fu Jiang", because the plot of "Fu Jiang" has not been completely developed, although this comic is currently a little weird, but at present, it can only rely on Zhao Chen's fame to raise the rating.
In addition to these three horror comics, the rest of the comics serialized in the semi-monthly magazine "DeathAndDecay" also have their own ratings, although the good and the bad are mixed, but there is still a big gap with the first three.
Of course, what Zhao Chen cares about most is not these, but the reaction of comic fans to Xiangjiang horror comics, fortunately, horror comics have relatively low requirements for painters, and comic fans don't have much feeling about it, but they feel that the painters are a little rougher.
And just when the semi-monthly magazine "DeathAndDecay" stabilized, Zhao Chen came to the UK. (To be continued......)
