As soon as Zhao Chen returned to Tianxia Society, a staff member reported some recent incidents.

Among them, every year, a large newspaper publishes the annual total sales ranking of comic magazines in the island country, and "Shonen soRa" under Tianxia Society enters the list, although it ranks tenth at the bottom, but this is undoubtedly a booster. Just because "Young soRa" has only been sold for more than half a year, it can be included in this list, which shows its strength and the potential it represents.

As for the top of the list, the first place is undoubtedly Shueisha's "Shonen Jump", the second place is Shogakukan's "Shonen Sunday", the third place is Kodansha's "Weekly Shonen Magazine", and then the Shirasensha Girls' Semi-monthly "Hana とゆめ" (Flowers and Dreams), Kodansha's "Monthly Shonen Magazine", Shiraizumensha's Girls' Semi-monthly "LaLa", Shogakukan's Shogakukan Girls' Semi-monthly "Girls' Net", and Shiraizumensha's Shonen Weekly " younganima1", and then there's the weekly magazine "Shonen soRa" of the Tensha!

It can also be seen from this ranking that the current comic industry in the island country is basically monopolized by the four major comic giants, and the top nine are all comic magazines owned by the four major comic giants, and it is quite good that Tianxiashe's "Juvenile soRa" can be ranked tenth, after all, even the comic magazines under the large comic clubs have not entered this list.

However, although it entered the top ten, the sales gap between them is not small, the first place "Youth Jump" has an average of more than 3 million sales per issue, the second place is close to 3 million, the third place has an average sales of more than 1 million per issue, and the second place is between 500,000 and 1 million. It can be seen that the first two dominate in comic magazines.

As soon as the total sales of this year's manga magazine were released, Tianxiasha can be said to have made a big name in the industry, and its appeal to manga artists and industry workers has greatly increased.

Not only that, but at the end of the year, the top 10 total sales of comic books of the year were also counted. Among them, "Lelouch the Rebellious" ranked sixth, which is still the reason why there are only two single volumes, otherwise the ranking is likely to reach the top three. As for the classic comics such as "Firebird", "Doraemon", "Oolong Police Station" and so on, are in front of "Rebellious Lelouch". And behind "Rebellious Lelouxiu", Akira Toriyama's "Aralei" and Rumiko Takahashi's "Lucky Star Boy" are also impressively listed.

However, except for "Lelouch the Rebellious", which only has two single volumes, the other comics basically have three or four single books. It is also because of this that "Lelouch the Rebellious" is only ranked sixth. If "Lelouch the Rebellious" had a single book, it would probably be in the top three.

In addition, although Zhao Chen's other works are not listed, the total sales of a single book of "Football Player" also exceeded one million, and if there is a ranking later, it is enough to rank in the top 20 of the year.

"Rebellious Lelouch" ranked sixth, bringing Zhao Chen greater fame. With just two volumes of a single book, it can be ranked sixth, and both industry insiders and comic book fans will be quite surprised when they see it. It is also such a factor that Zhao Chen's status in the comic industry of the island country has been improved accordingly. Because according to this form, as long as "Rebellious Lelouch" continues to be serialized for a few more years, Zhao Chen may be able to establish the status of a comic master.

It's a pity that only Zhao Chen knows in his heart that "Rebellious Lelouxiu" is afraid that it will only be serialized for another half a year before it ends, and he can completely irrigate it. Make this comic smelly and long like an old woman's footwrap. It's a pity that Zhao Chen's head has a lot of classic comics, and he doesn't want "Rebellious Lelouch" to be destroyed in his own hands, so he intends to follow the original work.

But even so, when "Rebellious Lelouch" is over, Zhao Chen will be enough to become a well-known cartoonist in the island country in one fell swoop, and what he lacks is this background.

Not only these two news, but another news made Zhao Chen stunned, it turned out that his work was shortlisted for the Elementary School Museum Comic Award, and it was not one, but a whole three. They are "Rebellious Lelouch" shortlisted for the junior department, "Sailor Moon" shortlisted for the junior department, and "Baseball Hero" shortlisted for the general department!

At present, there are only three departments set up for the Shogakukan Manga Awards, among which the juvenile department is a juvenile comic with national high schools as the main object; The Girl Orientation Department is a shoujo manga with national high schools as the main target; In general, the works of young people and adults are mainly targeted.

And this is the 26th Shogakukan Comic Awards, and it will not be until the 27th session next year that the fourth department will be set up - the Children's Department!

Founded in Showa 3o (1955), the Shogakukan Manga Award is the oldest manga festival in the island country. It has gradually established its authoritative position, and it has always been an annual event in the manga industry of the island country, and the bounty is 1oo0,000 yen.

Entries must be published in the island country, and comic works that appear in magazines, monographs or news after January 1 of each year are eligible to participate, and the list of winners of each award will be announced in February of the following year. It's just that because it's held at the Shogakukan, the probability of winning a manga from the Shogakukan is undoubtedly a little greater.

"Weird, what the hell does this elementary school hall mean? Three of my works were able to be shortlisted in three categories at the same time! Is the end result just a void of joy? The organizer should not be so stupid, otherwise the authority of the organizer will inevitably be attacked! I really don't understand what they think, forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! ”

Zhao Chen was distressed for a while, he really didn't understand the meaning of the primary school hall, you must know that since the Tianxia Society dug up Anda Chong, the two have been quite incompatible, and the primary school hall will not be stupid enough to give Zhao Chen an award, otherwise it will increase Zhao Chen's popularity and increase the sales of award-winning works.

"That's right, Anda Chong! It seems that this is the purpose.,Hmph.,I want to carry out the separation! ”

When thinking of Anda Chong, Zhao Chen suddenly looked at the shortlisted works and the author's name again, "Baseball Heroes" only wrote Zhao Chen's name, but there was no Anda Chong's name, which undoubtedly made Zhao Chen feel that he had noticed the purpose of the primary school hall.

The Shogakukan Manga Award only started in February.,There's still more than half a month before the time of the lottery.,There's plenty of time.。

During this time. Tianxiasha began to acquire publishing houses in France, Italy, Slovakia and the United Kingdom, and established comic branches.

How can the actions of the Tianxia Society escape the sight of the four comic giants, especially the four major comic giants can be said to be quite wary of the Tianxia Society at this time, and they will naturally pay attention to the every move of the Tianxia Society.

But after knowing this, the reaction of the four comic giants was different. Among them, Kodansha and Shirasensha, which have not yet established themselves in the European market, look at it with a joke eye, they are well aware of the difficulty of entering the European market, and think that Tiantensha's plan this time is too negligent. Shueisha and Shogakukan, which already have a foothold in the European manga market, have another idea, that is, to block Tianxiasha from successfully breaking into the European manga market, even if they don't think it has a good chance. The psychology of not being afraid of 10,000 is still the preparation of the two comic giants to use their connections in the European exhibition to attack them, even if the cost will be relatively large.

Kodansha and Shirakusensha do not have this mind, but instead have the mentality of watching a good show, but in fact, their psychology is complicated, and the reason why they have been unable to enter the European market for a long time. Shueisha and Shogakukan have undoubtedly made a considerable 'contribution' to this!

Due to the prosperity and population base of Europe, no matter which comic giant can not ignore it, if it successfully enters the European market, then its magazines, single books and peripheral sales will undoubtedly increase a lot, and this increase will also grow rapidly with the entry into European countries. Although Kodansha and Shirasensha were equally afraid of Tiantensha, they still hoped that Tiantensha would succeed in entering the European market, and that Tianxiasha would attract the attention of Shogakukan and Shueisha when the time came. They will be able to break into the European comic market more easily.

When Tianxia Society had just established branches in the four major European countries, Shueisha and Shogakukan naturally spared no effort to suppress them, and the progress of the Czechoslovak branch was also in a state of difficulty.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen and Platini had a win-win plan at that time, otherwise if he only sponsored Platini, the consequences might be unimaginable. In the midst of the crisis, Platini's energy in France was finally revealed, and Platini, an iconic figure in French football, had a pivotal position in France, and the equally shrewd Platini was also very good at expanding his network. Coupled with active publicity, the Daozhì天下社 was able to gradually stabilize in France.

As for the United Kingdom, Master Arthur's status in the United Kingdom determined his ability and deep connections, and Shueisha and Shogakukan could not shake it at all.

And that's not all. Perhaps because Master Arthur felt that Zhao Chen's advice helped him a lot, when he published "2O1O Space Odyssey" a few months later, he expressed his gratitude to Zhao Chen next to the first page of the table of contents, and by the way, he promoted the Tianxia Society in it.

When Tianxia Club just entered the European market, more than half a month passed quickly, and this day was the day of the Shogakukan Manga Awards.

"Teacher Andachong, let's go to the award ceremony together!"

In the president's office, Zhao Chen looked at An Dachong with a tired face and said.

"But the organizer didn't invite me!" Anda Chong's mind is complicated, he knows that his decision at that time was actually right, which brought him a lot more remuneration and fame than before, with the existing fame of "Baseball Heroes", if it is a single book, I am afraid it will directly exceed 500,000, and even enter the level of million.

It's just that the same Anda Chong is also a little uneasy, he knows that his decision at that time completely offended the Shogakukan, but he didn't expect his work "Baseball Heroes" to be shortlisted for the Shogakukan Manga Award, but what made him most angry was that there was no name on it.

"Teacher Andachong, please don't be presumptuous! Everyone sees your ability, and although storyboarding is important, the cartoonist who presides over the drawing also has a pivotal position. The reason why "Baseball Heroes" can be successful is that Mr. Andachong's painting actually occupies a dominant position! Otherwise, if I changed a cartoonist to draw at random, it would be impossible to achieve this Cheng dù, which is why I asked Mr. Andachong to draw at that time! ”

"As for the fact that your name was not written on the organizer this time, I think you should understand why! Yes, they want to estranged you from the world society, and they want you to create a shadow because of this, and destroy you by the way! ”

Zhao Chen's words hit Anda Chong's heart like a bullet, Anda Chong didn't expect Zhao Chen to value him so much, which made his frustration suddenly become excited, he is a fairly simple person, the reason why he jumped ship to Tianxia Club at that time, in addition to benefits and treatment, is that he feels that he has not received due attention in the primary school hall.
