Sadako, a scary-looking man with a twisted body and a long white dress, tried to reach out to the side of the TV screen, but her palm was only halfway stretched out and hit the screen of the Sharp TV.

Her face was full of horror, and she was surprised to find that she was trapped, so she banged on the screen, but in the end it was to no avail.

Then the picture turned,The woman who dubbed the newspaper curtain walked out in the costume of Reiko Asakawa,Smiled and said that I bought a Sharp TV,Even Sadako can't pass through this high-quality TV screen - HD color high-quality Sharp TV,You deserve it。

After watching this advertisement, Tsukasa Higashino couldn't help but sigh - Sharp TV does do business.

When he painted the easter eggs of this movie, he actually expected the audience's reaction.

After I heard that many people went home and took out the big iron chain that had been sealed in the house for a long time, and hung it on the TV cabinet, some viewers watched the movie "Midnight Bell", and they didn't even dare to go to the toilet alone at night, which can be said to be extremely miserable.

The movie easter eggs are full of deterrence, and Sharp TV immediately caught up with the heat, and successively put the advertisements about Sadako that had been filmed before into the market.

I heard that it really achieved good results,It seems that many people smashed the TV and just wanted to change the TV,So I chose Sharp TV to buy。

This made Higashino Tsukasa a little speechless, there is still such a marketing method to grab money?

The point is that there are still people who are fooled ... It's really...

However, Tsukasa Higashino heard the news in his previous life when he was in the Celestial Empire, and some Japanese directly sold and drank half a bottle of mineral water on the Internet, with a price tag of one or two thousand yen... It's really that kind of very ordinary mineral water, which can be sold for one or two thousand yen, in addition to this kind of wonder, there is even a lot of daily garbage that is directly hung on the trading website to sell, and the same price is one or two thousand yen, you must know that Japan has to pay money for dealing with large garbage... If someone really buys it, it's really blood-earned.

Whether anyone buys these strange things or not, Higashino Tsukasa is not clear, but Higashino Tsukasa clearly knows that there are indeed some Japanese people who have a problem with their thinking.

So Sharp TV is robbing money with this heat, but Higashino can understand it.

That aside...

Tsukasa Higashino turned around and glanced at the calendar.

Tomorrow is the release date of the single book of "Unnatural Death".

Although I can't talk about nervousness, I can't say that my heart is not fluctuating.

It's obvious that you can't draw comics in this state.,So Higashino Tsukasa simply put down the original manuscript of the seventh episode of "Unnatural Death".,Planning to wait until tomorrow's sales of the single book come out and think about how to draw the comics.。

In other words, today is a rare day out of the way.

He turned off the TV and drank another cup of coffee, and then he heard Higashino Chihaya walk to the side and shout, "Ace, Ace." ”

"What's wrong? Chihaya-sama? Tsukasa Higashino sat next to Chihaya Higashino and asked.

"Look at this!" Chihaya Higashino held the piggy piggy bank that he bought again, and his snow-white and pink little face looked up at Tsukasa Higashino and said, "I've saved a lot of money!" I have all my money in it for half a year! ”

When she said this, she was a little proud, holding the piggy bank and sticking it at her waist.

"Huh? It's amazing. Higashino coaxed her, and then touched the piggy bank in her hand.

It's heavy, and it's heavy.

This made Tsukasa Higashino feel a little strange inexplicably.

Higashino Chihaya rarely lets him go out with him recently, and similarly, Higashino Chihaya rarely buys things outside, why does she save so much money?

For Higashino Chihaya, Higashino Tsukasa still values it, he returned the piggy bank, and asked with a smile: "Sister Chihaya, is there anything you want to save money to buy?" ”

If the other party has something to want, he can also satisfy the other party.

After all, Tsukasa Higashino is really not short of money right now... To be honest, with his current financial resources, it is not much of a problem to find a place to buy land and build a small villa.

The income of a single bank is still secondary, and the income brought by Kumamon is simply explosive - it is really the kind of money that can be delivered to you every day when you sit and do nothing.

But to the surprise of Tsukasa Higashino, Chihaya Higashino just shook his head: "I don't have what I want." ”

This makes Higashino Tsukasa a little strange, why save so much money when you don't have what you want...?

Just as he was thinking about it, Higashino Chihaya touched the piggy bank again, and his pink and snow-white pretty face was serious: "This is the money for the marriage of Assi and Lianghua, and it can't be used casually." ”

"Wedding money...?"

"Doesn't a wedding ceremony cost a lot of money?" Chihaya Higashino held up the piggy bank: "I asked Yumi, the wedding banquet and the wedding ceremony add up to at least 1.5 million yen, and there are already 400,000 yen here, which is very fast." ”

Listening to Higashino Chihaya calculate this bill, Higashino Tsukasa was also speechless.

According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the average cost of marriage in Japan is more than 3 million yen, and the average load of the bride and groom is about 1.5 million yen, excluding the royal gifts of relatives and friends.

It's not wrong to say 1.5 million yen...

However, Higashino Tsukasa didn't expect Higashino Chihaya to be worried about his marriage early.

It's really...

Higashino Tsukasa was a little funny, but he still reached out and touched Higashino Chihaya's head: "Chihaya can actually use this money to buy some things she likes." ”

"That's why he said that Ass doesn't understand anything." Higashino Chihaya pretended to sigh, and a smug expression appeared on his little face: "I'm Ace's sister, of course I have to contribute to Ace." No matter what you say, I'm going to save up 1.5 million yen. ”

Higashino didn't say anything when he heard this, he just smiled and nodded, and at the same time increased the share of pocket money given to Higashino Chihaya to 20,000 yen every day, trying to let her save the money as soon as possible.

He also wanted to give more, but Higashino Chihaya was just a little mentally degraded but not particularly stupid, if she was given one or two million at once, she also knew that Higashino Tsukasa did it on purpose.

So it should be quiet here.

After talking to Chihaya Higashino for a while, Tsukasa Higashino also pinched the handle and played video games with her.

And just like that, the day passed quickly.

At the same time, Tsukasa Higashino's "Unnatural Death" has officially started selling in bookstores nationwide!

Because of the previous popularity, many bookstore clerks specially put "Unnatural Death" in the position of "store manager's recommendation".

This is also a small publicity, and many people who visit bookstores know it.

At the same time, Sakamoto of Mozuki Shoten, and Ozawada of Iwakaku Press were also on sale.

The triwizard battle has officially begun!

Ozawada and Sakamoto have always had a huge fan base, and this is their basis.

But Tsukasa Higashino, as a rising star, is also not inferior to them at all in terms of momentum.

As a result, many of the manga released at the same time today did not achieve the expected results, and many people were directly attracted by the single book of "Unnatural Death" and the single book of Sakamoto and Ozawada.

Honestly, it's a meat grinder-like battlefield.

Among the meat grinders, the biggest ones are Tsukasa Higashino, Sakamoto and Ozawada.

Sakamoto is okay to say that he was already on the verge of a mental collapse, and his new manga scores were above average, and even if he had a fan base, he only lasted for two seconds at most, and he was also wrenched in by a meat grinder and turned into a puddle of rotten meat.

The key is Ozawada.

This old author, who was almost touted as the god of manga by Iwakaku Publishing House, is the real rival of Tsukasa Higashino.

"The sales of "Unnatural Death" within one hour of its release have been counted urgently!" Someone from the data department conveyed the information to the copy department, and after printing procedures, it was conveyed to Hosokawa Koharu and the editors in the many Bad Chill editorial departments.

Sell 18,000 rolls in one hour!

When he saw this data, Hosokawa Koharu almost didn't have a cardiac arrest.

It's not really her fuss this time.

It's that this statistic is truly staggering...

If it was normal, Hosokawa Koharu wouldn't be so surprised, but this time there was someone competing with Tsukasa Higashino.

Ozawada and Sakamoto, neither of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and the two of them will inevitably share a little fan from Tsukasa Higashino.

"Unnatural Death" is a big hit, and it's no problem at all.

"Maybe 'Unnatural Death' can challenge the average volume of 1.5 million copies?" Hosokawa Koharu muttered quietly.

The average volume is 1.5 million copies, which means that the total sales of "Unnatural Death" divided by its number of volumes can reach 1.5 million.

What is this concept?

Comics also have a bottom line, the second line, the best-selling line of this kind of thing, the average volume of 50,000 copies can be regarded as a bestseller, the average volume of 100,000 copies can be regarded as a popular work, and the average volume of 200,000 copies is a popular work, the average volume of 500,000 copies can be regarded as a super popular work, in the publishing house can be regarded as a small pillar, the average volume of 800,000 copies can be called a big hit (big hit) - as for the average volume of one million copies is a big pillar author like Higashino Division.

And on top of the average million volumes, you have to climb up... That's a national hit.

As for the volume, the average is two million copies.

For details, refer to "Full-Time Hunter", "Full-time Alchemist", "Fullmetal Alchemist", "Cherry Maruko" and other phenomenal comics, sales ceiling.

As for why not say One Piece, Naruto... That's because their average volume sales are climbing up to three million, and it's definitely not an exaggeration to say that the monster level is also the reason why the paper media was developed at that time, and the webtoon culture had not yet emerged.

It's really hard for future generations to reach such heights.

Aside, these digressions.

Tsukasa Higashino's "Midnight Bell", "Lonely Gourmet", and "Winner is Justice" have all sold more than one million on average, and they are not far from the average sales of 1.5 million volumes.

But it's not far away, and it's a little difficult to break through.

This is also why Sakamoto said sourly that Higashino Tsukasa did create a miracle.

You must know that it is already amazing that a comic book has sold more than one million copies, and Higashino has sold more than one million copies, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle, it is simply eye-catching.

And this time, the popularity of "Unnatural Death" is even more exaggerated.

"18,000 copies in an hour!" An editor next to him applauded directly: "Mr. Higashino is really the biggest pillar of Urashima Publishing House!" Terrible! That's amazing! 1.5 million copies isn't a dream, is it? ”

They also got excited.

There is a good saying, if a person ascends to heaven with a chicken dog, their group of people can be regarded as creating history, and if "Bad Cold" wants to publish a record book in the future, the names of their group of people will be registered on it.

They whispered excitedly, marveling at Tsukasa Higashino's achievement, as if the voice was about to lift the ceiling of the editorial office.

But soon, a piece of news came, and their enthusiasm was extinguished at once, and at the same time, their faces were full of surprise.

"Nineteen thousand copies of Ozawada-sensei's new manga from Iwakaku Publishing House?"

This...

What's going on?

It shouldn't be...

The 18,000 copies of "Unnatural Death" are already exaggerated... Why is Ozawada's side more exaggerated?

Could it be a statistical error?

The number of positive votes from our readers can still crush Ozawada.

They couldn't help but take a breath and looked at each other, dazed.

At this moment, Hosokawa Koharu's calm voice came: "I think this data is very accurate... Mr. Ozawada has a large number of fans, which is the foundation of his eight years of serialization. ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, some of the editors next to her showed expressions of sudden realization.

Truly... Ozawada's previous manga was serialized for eight years, and during this time, it has always held a record of one million copies.

With such a large number of fans, it is natural that it will be pressed on the head of Tsukasa Higashino.

But it's still a bit of a pity... Obviously, the quality of "Unnatural Death" has reached a perfect level, but it is pressed by the 'fan base'...

"In the final analysis, comics still depend on quality." Hosokawa Koharu said confidently: "Maybe Ozawada-sensei can win in the first hour, but what about the second hour, the third hour?" Readers are not blind, Higashino-sensei will definitely win. ”

Yes.

It's a simple truth.

No matter how strong your fan base is, how much revenue can it bring you?

At the end of the day, comics still have to look at the quality.

Something that looks good will naturally be watched, and something that is not good, even if you blow it to the sky, you can only maintain the lead in the number of fans at the beginning.

Hosokawa Koharu lowered his head again, looked at the data in his hand, and was full of confidence in Tsukasa Higashino.

Higashino-sensei's fans will never lose to each other.

What if there are a lot of people on your side?

Our Higashino teacher is a masterpiece.

Fighting in the ring is not just about watching the first hour.

There is also a second hour, a third hour.

She thought so, and became more serious.

Everyone pays attention to Ozawada and Tsukasa Higashino, and it is inevitable that one person will be forgotten.

Sakamoto of Mozuki Bookstore...

"Obviously, my manga is also on sale today..."

Sakamoto opened his mouth.

I just feel particularly aggrieved.

I'm also the author of the pillars of Mozhu Bookstore.

Can't you just keep an eye on my sales?

More than 12,000 copies, which is not too bad a result.
