Chapter 573: Weekly Sales
The young man returned to his residence, threw his shoulder bag on the sofa, and went back to his study—a study, but only a computer desk and a table and chair—and pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Hee-hee, Tamagawa Haruka...... I didn't expect to meet him...... Fate? ”
The young man pillowed on the pillow of the computer chair, his eyes aimed at the photos on his mobile phone, looked at it for two or three minutes, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He turned on the computer, imported the photo he had just taken into the computer, and used the software to cut out the Chinese textbook in the photo, which was held by Haruka Tamagawa, and then sent the photo of the textbook to a forum he often went to.
This forum can be said to be his biggest gain in the past six months in District 11.
In this forum, he met a lot of interesting people, some of whom were not good at drawing, but they were good at making names, and some people were just bored, or felt that the comics they read were boring, so they made up their minds and made their own hands and made settings or outlines.
Since they usually have jobs, they can't draw these ideas into comics - the probability of supporting themselves with comics is really too small, and not everyone dares to take risks.
So, there was a deal.
He buys these names with money, and these people, in addition to getting paid a lot of money, can also see their ideas become comics.
As for the shortcomings, it is not that there is no right of authorship.
"You see, a piece of software requires a lot of programmers, but when the finished product comes out, does anyone know who those programmers are? No. So, as long as I don't owe you any money, it's OK, what do you think? ”
The young man's words made these people feel strange, but when they thought about it carefully, it seemed to make a little sense, but it was not quite the same as their intuitive feelings, but what exactly went wrong, these people didn't think about it.
After all, the money is in hand.
In this way, there is the name of "Rancho Dancing Queen".
Another reason he likes this forum is that there are people here who can speak Huaxia.
In the words of these people, the animation market in District 11 is saturated, and it is necessary to figure out a way out.
"Excuse me, which school textbook is this book in?" The young man forwarded the cropped picture to the forum.
"MO, do you want to learn Huaxia too?"
"No, I met a lovely girl, and this is the textbook in her hand." The young man said.
"I don't know, there are still a lot of training courses for teaching Huaxia."
"Yes, every textbook is pretty much the same. How can you tell the difference? ”
"That's ......"
It's not that simple......
The young man sighed and swiped the page, and if no one answered, he was really ready to close it.
At this time, another person replied to the post and uploaded a picture.
Compared with the cover of the young man, this picture has the same style, but the background color is different.
The young man took a closer look, and the newly uploaded cover was an English picture, and the one he uploaded was a textbook for teaching Huaxia.
"That...... Which institution's textbook is this? ”
"Oh, this school is called 'one to one', and it's the best training institution in Tokyo."
“one to one?” The young man's eyes lit up, and his tongue licked his lips with a chuckle.
……
In the first week of November, the comic market was almost dominated by "Steel Forged", and after the first day of volume 14 broke 400,000, Wang Wenhong had an exaggerated idea - will the 14th volume of "Steel Forged" break one million in the first week?
"Impossible."
Wang Wenhong shook his head, feeling that this was too dreamy.
1 Million ...... in the first week
Even "Comic Future" is a number that hasn't appeared in a long time.
Can "Steel" really achieve?
In this regard, Wang Wenhong expressed deep doubts, but then thought, how could he know if he didn't fight?
With such determination, after getting off work, Wang Wenhong went to various bookstores in Hongchuan as soon as possible to understand the situation, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Wenhong can know the sales of "Steel Refining" - it is not impossible to achieve one million copies in a single volume and a single week.
Please be sure to break through the million!
This is almost Wang Wenhong's greatest wish during this period of time.
"Jingle Bell ......"
Shang Haozhi's landline rang, and he immediately picked up the phone, "mmmm" twice, but his expression was extremely serious.
Wang Wenhong's heart immediately rose to his throat, and he stared at Shang Haozhi intently.
Shang Haozhi sighed after hanging up the phone, and the editors in the editorial department felt nervous, not knowing what was going on.
Especially Wang Wenhong, his heart is even more nervous.
It shouldn't be...... As far as I know, this week's sales should be very good.
Shang Haozhi glanced around, and his gaze finally fell on Wang Wenhong's body.
"Just now, the sales department called and told me about the weekly sales ...... of "Steel Refining"" Shang Haozhi paused for a moment, and then continued, "The sales volume of Volume 14 is 1.002 million copies, and the total sales in a single week are 1.438 million copies. Congratulations to Mr. Shen, and other authors should also work hard ......"
Shang Haozhi's words were only half said, and applause immediately broke out in the editorial department.
"Lao Wang, a treat!" Xu Jie hugged Wang Wenhong for the first time.
"Ah, I thought that "Steel" would be a hit, but I didn't expect it to exceed one million copies." Jian Xiaomei looked surprised.
This achievement, "Hunting Abyss" is simply impossible to achieve.
"The point is, in addition to the 14th volume, there are other manga that have also sold more than 400,000 copies." Zhou Xiaoming also looked horrified.
Wang Wenhong clutched his heart and gasped for breath.
The pressure before was really great. Now that I know the result, all of a sudden, I feel a lot lighter.
"Lao Wang, don't forget to inform Teacher Shen......" Yan Fei reminded.
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot!" Wang Wenhong hurriedly put away his smile, picked up the landline, and dialed Shen Xin's phone.
As soon as the phone was connected, Wang Wenhong couldn't wait to say, "Teacher Shen, congratulations!" ”
"Huh?"
Congratulations on what?
The moment Shen Xin connected the phone, he was confused and didn't know why.
"Ahem, I mean, congratulations, the 14th volume of Steelforge has broken a million copies in a single week."
A million copies?
Shen Xin raised his eyebrows, of course he had thought about this number, but when it appeared, it really made people feel like they were in a dream.
"Brother Wang."
"Huh?"
"Thank you for taking care of ...... for so long" Shen Xin took a deep breath and said something from his heart.
"Teacher Shen, what are you talking to me? The two of us, but both of us. Wang Wenhong said with a smile.
"Brother Wang, wait a while, come over for a meal together. If Sister Yan has time, she will also call her. ”
"Okay. Wait for me! ”
Shen Xin hung up the phone, let out a long breath, and looked at the ceiling a little sluggishly.
A single book, a million copies in a single week...... I didn't expect it to happen.
(Take a day off, two shifts today, no more at night.) )
