Chapter 315: Superheroes Without Superpowers
After smoking a cigarette, Zhang Yang's excited mood is still the same. He was even already thinking about what kind of reward the editor-in-chief of the newspaper would give him this time when he dug up such a big news, was it a bonus or what? Or even worse, he was promoted and raised, and he was only employed for less than three months, so he was arranged to do the work of statistics, although this statistical work is very compatible with his major, but the salary is low.
"I think I am fully qualified for the position of assistant editor-in-chief, but with my sharp eye and keen sense of news, being an assistant is a bit wasteful, so it is better to be the editor-in-chief." Zhang Yang has already sketched in his head the scene of his promotion and salary increase soon after, becoming the general manager, becoming the CEO, marrying Bai Fumei, and reaching the peak of his life.
Just when he was fantasizing, his mobile phone rang, and when he felt it, he saw that it was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper who called, Zhang Yang immediately picked up the mobile phone, and the ringtone rang for less than three seconds. It's big news, and it's well enough to be the headline of tomorrow...... No, it's better to print it today, because if such news is grabbed by the rest of the newspapers, the opportunity will be lost. β
Zhang Yang was on the rise, but the editor-in-chief's words were like a basin of cold water poured down, "It is impossible for this news to be published in our newspapers and periodicals, let alone become the headlines." β
Zhang Yang was immediately excited: "Su Shichen brushed sales, just this title will definitely attract a lot of sales, editor-in-chief." How can this kind of news not be published, is there a problem with your vision, editor-in-chief? "Well, this Yang deserves to be called a Leng Qingtou who has just left school. dared to talk to his boss like this, as the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die, Zhang Yang is doing a big death.
Sure enough, Zhang Yang's words instantly made the editor-in-chief on the other end of the phone angry, "Zhang Yang, you do data statistics, and the statistics are in the dung pit?" You can take a good look on the Internet for yourself, how these sales on the official website of Sherlock Holmes came from. Toot ......: "Editor-in-chief, this is a angry hang-up."
Zhang Yang was stunned, take a good look at the Internet by himself? This is already an obvious fact, what else is there to investigate?
"Seventeen IDs buy 100,000 copies. Is it obviously a frenzied brushing of data? I don't believe any reader would buy 100,000 copies at once. "Zhang Yang didn't believe it when he was killed, even if there were local tyrant readers who bought them in large quantities in order to support Su Shichen, how could they come out with seventeen at once?
Zhang Yang thought like this, but he saw such a post on the Internet - "There are many tyrants in the heavenly realm. I got on my knees. "Asking for a Local Tyrant to Shroud" is an ID called: Russian bubble girl is all released by fingers.
The name of this book lover is very connotative, and at the same time, this post is even more connotative, first posted a few pictures, that is, the pictures of those IDs that were purchased for 100,000 copies.
Then commented: "The Heavenly Realm is worthy of being the largest readership of online articles, it is too TM strong, 100,000 copies according to the price of "The Frozen Throne", this will take more than 3 million!! β
1st floor: Kneel down for these local tyrants, there are too many local tyrants in the heavenly realm. Anyway, these trenches buy so many books and then where do they put them? 100,000 books, this must be the height of a building.
2nd Floor: According to the information revealed in the Celestial Group. It should be donated to the poverty-stricken areas together, and it is really a bunker.
3rd floor: The daughter-in-law came out to see the local tyrant, there are a lot of trenches......
is really Su Shichen's reader, to be precise, it is really Su Shichen's reader summoned by Tian's grace identity on the Internet.
Zhang Yang was stunned: "I'll it, how can the local tyrant readers on the Internet be so fierce?" It's not scientific!! β
This is really unscientific, and it is a contemptuous attitude towards online articles, which is the same for most people, Zhang Yang is naturally the same, and the impression of readers who like to read online articles is naturally not much better.
But he didn't expect that the liliang that broke out from the readers of this online literature circle was so powerful, even if it was not inferior to reality. No, to be precise, the explosion in a short period of time is even more powerful than reality, at least the reality is that few readers have bought 100,000 copies of 100,000 copies.
"What the hell is wrong with this shijie? Is the renminbi already so worthless? That's three million, three million!! Zhang Yang let out such a wail, according to his current salary, it is only 4,000 a month counting bonuses and miscellaneous things, even if he doesn't eat or drink, it will take seventy or eighty years to earn so much money. But now, in order to support Su Shichen, taking three million improper money one by one, Zhang Yang felt incomprehensible and unacceptable.
It can be explained by a very fashionable saying: The shijie of the trench is incomprehensible to ordinary people.
Three million is indeed a lot, even for billionaires, it is not a trivial matter to take out three million at one time to support readers, but these three million have also done good deeds, helped children in poor disaster areas, and taken out more than three million to do charity, which is really not much in this regard.
If the sales of 7.1 million copies on the first day were shocking, the next day the Internet readers exploded into an even bigger liliang. On this day, the sales volume directly exceeded 8 million, which is 8 million, not 800,000, not 80,000, not 80,000, to be precise, 8.2 million. In other words, Su Shichen once again broke the highest single-day sales in China created by "The Frozen Throne" on the first day of its release.
It's like a fairy tale, and twenty days after the book went on sale, the sales exploded to surpass the book's first-day sales.
Many authors have begun to face up to this big cake of online literature, and judging from the current abnormal growth in sales, maybe the sales of "The Frozen Throne" in the first month may really surpass "The Real Outsider......

"First of all, let's be clear, there is a difference between comics and movies, there are many times when comics are popular, and the adaptation into a movie version fails." There are many such examples, the anime of the previous life, especially the island country, was adapted into a movie and TV series, based on "Death Note", "Dragon Ball", and "Kanedaichi Shonen Incident Book", what kind of stuff are they.
But not all manga adaptations fail. There are also very successful, and some even surpass their original fame, such as "Hot Blooded College" and "Spicy Teacher". But there is a particularly extreme type between the two......
"To put it simply, movies are more realistic than comics, an ordinary American teenager wants to become a superhero, mainly to highlight that kind of frustration, and this frustration is beaten or ridiculed by others, etc., these can be directly shown in the movie, but if you use comics, it will be very weak."
Su Shichen's conclusion is not casual. Zhang Chen's superhero is similar to "Wanted" in terms of setting, and even has not reached the plot of "Wanted". But before "Wanted" was adapted into the movie "King Haibian", how many people knew about this comic? Everybody. To put it mildly, even if "King Haibian" is a hit, not many people know "Wanted".
"Wanted" is still painted by the people of the United States with such achievements, probably because of other factors. But this time to open up the comic market in the United States, Su Shichen didn't want to fail at all.
listened to Su Shichen's analysis. Although the reason is a little one-sided, but if you think about it carefully, there is really a certain amount of truth, Wang Ni and Zhang Chen fell into contemplation.
After a long time, Wang Ni spoke: "Nowadays, the best-selling comic genre in the United States is undoubtedly comedy inspirational, otherwise it will be in this direction?" "The anime that is popular in the United States now is similar to "Toy Story", "Cat and Mouse" or "The Lion King" on Earth in the previous life.
Hearing this, Su Shichen casually pulled over a chair and sat down, he already knew it when he came to this shijie four years ago to investigate this shijie. This shijie, the country of rice is equally powerful. Every year, there are many comics adapted into movies that have achieved extremely high box office, but superhero comics only have a little sprout, and they don't have the feeling of being hot in their previous life, and what Su Shichen wants to do is to go to the United States to ignite the flame of superheroes.
"Since I'm in charge, I naturally have a way." Su Shichen said, "It's like this superhero, I already have a relatively complete setting in my mind. β
Pick up a professional paintbrush, and then sketch out two characters at a very fast speed, only to see these two figures, one burly wearing a strange costume printed with a bat logo, covering his face and only revealing his mouth, black cloak and gray tights, to be honest, in terms of this dress, he is more like a villain than a decent person.
This is normal, Batman is called the Dark Knight, and this nickname does not only refer to his activities at night, but also to the way he dresses.
The other character was even more undecent, dressed in a funny clown costume, looking even more terrifying, with green hair, pale skin, smoky purple eyeshadow, red lipstick on his lips, and a nervous smile at the corners of his mouth, everything showed that this funny clown was not normal.
To be honest, the two characters drawn by Su Shichen now are not as good as the ones drawn by Zhang Chen before, at least Wang Ni and Zhang Chen can't see how these two images look like superheroes.
"This is Batman, a member of the Punisher League, and this is the Joker, a member of the Avengers, they are a pair of rivals."
Immediately afterwards, Su Shichen wrote down the information of Batman and the Joker, as Batman's mortal enemy, the Joker had many battles with Batman, but Su Shichen did not use so much pen and ink.
Su Shichen set that Batman and Iron Man are the money bags of the Punisher Alliance, Batman is the only son of the richest man in Gotham City and has a lot of money, while Iron Man is a Shijie-level arms dealer and is even richer.
The plot arrangement should be reasonable, as the righteous side of the punisher alliance has money bags, as the opposite side of the Avengers also have, such as the night demon's nemesis Duracell Jin Ju.
Too many characters and too many plots, to put it simply, although Batman is a very important role in this comic that Su Shichen used to open up the comic book market in the United States, it can't take up too much space. Therefore, Su Shichen chose the plot of the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight", in fact, the most important thing is that Su Shichen thinks that the villain portrayed in this movie is even more bullish than the one in the comics.
"This Batman and the Joker are ordinary people." Su Shichen added, "From beginning to end, he is an ordinary person, without any ability to surpass the limits of the human body. β
"Nothing beyond the limits of the human body? Is this still a superhero? Zhang Chen asked such a question, although he was also an ordinary American teenager before, but later he met a superhero with superpowers and learned real skills, and the superhero called Batman that Su Shichen said just now has not surpassed the limits of the human body from beginning to end, and there is such a superhero?
