Chapter 140: Phase I, End

After the release of the new books "Crime" and "Y's", the total sales of the two manga alternated, and they soon climbed to the sixth and seventh places on the rookie list.

Just when everyone thought it would be two manga, and before July in the final rankings, New World announced the holding of a fan contest for "Y's", which immediately put "Y's" in the spotlight.

Some readers who usually only watch 18X fandom noticed "Y's" when they saw their favorite big hand participate in the "Y's" contest. Some game enthusiasts also learned about the existence of Y's from the game website.

However, a series of operations did not make the sales of "Y's" increase significantly, and the weekly sales only increased between 50,000 and 100,000.

Shen Xin was also a little anxious at first, the magazine spent so much money, if it had little effect, then the future publicity would definitely be affected.

Of course, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to know the reason, in the final analysis, the sales of "Y's" in a single issue have reached a bottleneck. Readers who want to buy "Y's" have already bought it, and readers who don't want to buy it will not consider "Y's".

It's like an online novel, if a website gives a novel a few recommendations in a row, the increase in favorites is likely to decrease, and that's why.

What's more, the fandom has not officially started yet, and advertisements can only attract everyone's attention, but they can't make them willing to shell out real money and buy a single book.

At the same time, another piece of news brought by Yan Fei made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the sales of "Y's" did not increase on a large scale, after some struggle, the sales surpassed "Crime and Punishment" and ranked sixth, and at the same time, the gap with the fifth place was also within 50,000 copies, and it was only a matter of time before it entered the top five.

The biggest effect of the fandom is to drive the sales of "New World", the latest issue reached 900,000 copies, which is the peak of magazine sales in recent years.

"Y's" has also attracted the attention of new readers, and in the new survey, "Y's" received an exaggerated 672 votes by 50 more votes than before. And the eight big players who are about to participate in the doujin contest have all the best things to say about "Y's", which has aroused everyone's curiosity about the comics.

This report was not only published in "New World", but also appeared on the homepage of Manjia.com.

Some readers who were hesitant about Y's, after reading this article, were once again entangled in whether they should also buy a few copies of Y's.

So far, if there are no accidents, Shen Xin's minimum goal has been achieved - to enter the top ten of the newcomer list, and there is only 300,000 copies of the sales of comics in first place, which is not an unattainable number.

After Zhou Yang finished drawing the fandom name of "Y's", he said goodbye to the rest of the studio, and at the same time, he also began the creation of "Ghost Potential".

The whole studio was a lot busier at once, and Shen Xin had to spend more energy to draw line drawings and backgrounds, while Gao Hang and Lu Ning also started to create fanfics in their spare time.

The champion who has won the same contest has a reward of 50,000 yuan, and when it is divided equally, a person is a little more than 10,000, which is not even as good as the reward of the single book of "Y's".

The goal of the three people is not only money, but more importantly, experience and proof.

As the main writer of the same person, Lu Ning has the largest workload, and the biggest difficulty she faces is the use of G pens.

In her previous creations, she mostly used round pens.

The round pen and the G pen both belong to the dipping pen, but the nature of the two is completely different. The two sides of the ink storage hole of the G pen have been hollowed out, so that the nib of the pen. If you don't pay attention to it, the tip of the pen will be like two sides of the pen, and sometimes you have to move the paper in order to get the desired effect.

The nib of the round pen is more slender and the lines are soft, but when it comes to showing the emotional outbursts of the characters, the effect is often not satisfactory.

"Why don't you choose a round pen?" Shen Xin proposed.

Compared with other dipping pens, the G pen is indeed more difficult to use.

"Nope. I want to be a shonen manga artist, so I must be able to use the G-Pen. Lu Ning bit her lip with a stubborn expression.

Shen Xin thought about it and felt that what Lu Ning said was not wrong, this opportunity was just an attempt at best.

If he encounters a little difficulty, he thinks about retreating, and Lu Ning will not be able to do much in the future.

Shen Xin wanted to point out Lu Ning when necessary, but the new broadcast of "Hunting Abyss" instantly made the studio nervous.

On June 22, the third volume of "Hunting Abyss" was released, and the sales exceeded 120,000 copies in a single day and 600,000 copies in a single week, and then drove the sales of the first and second volumes.

In the middle of the night on June 30, the final sales of "Hunting the Abyss" reached 1.8 million copies, only 200,000 copies less than "Y's" and 180,000 copies less than "Crime", ranking eighth after "Crime".

"Whew...... Scared the hell out of me. ”

Jian Xiaomei finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Manjia.com had updated the latest rankings and pages.

Ye Hexu's mind was not on the ranking at all, he watched the animation once, and then returned his energy to the original manuscript.

Jian Xiaomei came to Ye Hexu's side angrily, took off his headphones, and yelled at him, "Can't you be nervous?" ”

"Huh? Nervous? Nervous about what? Ye Hexu looked at Jian Xiaomei puzzled.

"Ranking...... You're almost eliminated, you know? Jian Xiaomei said angrily.

"Oh, you said that." Ye Hexu put down the G pen and yawned, "Even if I get nervous, can I change any results?" ”

"Huh?" Jian Xiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he said with some hesitation, "It should be...... Can't you? ”

"yes, why should I be nervous if I can't? Rest assured, I'm the one who wants to win the 'Newcomer Award', and I can't fall in such a place. Moreover, with the blessing of the new series, in the next three months, "Hunting the Abyss" will win the first place. Ye Hexu said with a smile.

""Crime and Punishment" can't be underestimated, it also has new broadcasts in July, August, and September, although it is only the Q version of instant noodles, but it can play two episodes a week, and the frequency is higher than that of "Hunting Abyss". Jian Xiaomei speculated.

"I guess...... Until the fourth volume of Crime is released, sales won't increase much. Ye Hexu speculated.

"Why?"

"The growth rate of subsequent sales of "Crime" has slowed down significantly, and it has gradually been pulled away by "Y's".

"That's because Y's did fandom promotion."

"However, before the fandom officially began, Crime was surpassed." Ye Hexu reminded.

"Yes. So why is this happening? Jian Xiaomei was puzzled.

"I guess...... It may be that the readers of "Crime and Punishment" were diluted, and a part of the readers chose the novel. ”

Jian Xiaomei immediately understood.

Among the readers of "Crime and Punishment", some of them originally came from Su Han's fans, and after the novel of "Crime and Punishment" was published, this group of readers would choose the novel, resulting in the diversion of readers.

"Of course, that's just my guess. But one thing is for sure, starting tomorrow, every list of the manga festival will be very interesting. Ye Hexu chuckled, his eyes full of anticipation.
