Chapter 1013: Attention
"What's going on? "The Frontiers of Sports" actually ran an ad for "SLAM DUNK"? β
"Isn't it? One is a comic and the other is a sports magazine, is there any connection between the two? β
"Not only "Frontier", but also "Sports Weekly", "Dunk", "Basketball Weekly", ...... MANY FIRST-TIER SPORTS MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS HAVE ADVERTISED SLAM DUNK. β
"SLAM DUNK is a basketball comic, and it has certain similarities with these magazines, but it is really willing to have SLAM DUNK appear in these magazines."
"SLAM DUNK is so popular right now, Comic Future is definitely going to be heavily promoted."
"It's really new, it's not very common to run comic ads in sports magazines...... It's also strange to say, why don't other comics do this? β
"The cost. "SLAM DUNK" is now the No. 1 seller in China, and the magazine will definitely be willing to spend money. β
"A little envious. However, "Comic Future" promotes "SLAM DUNK" in these media, and the target audience should also be obvious, which is to promote "SLAM DUNK" to those who like to play basketball and watch basketball. β
"Huh? Can it be done? Let those who love to play basketball read comics...... Not very realistic. β
"IT'S HARD TO SAY, BUT A FEW OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW WHO LOVE BASKETBALL LOVE SLAM DUNK."
"I suddenly felt that the editor-in-chief of "Comic Future" was really wise."
β¦β¦
Netizens on comic forums were surprised that Comic Future appeared in first-tier sports media, and for sports fans, they were surprised that they saw comic ads in major sports magazines.
This is really rare.
"What's the situation? There are even advertisements for comics? Do magazines also have to make a living from manga advertising? β
"You don't understand this, someone must have given these magazines a lot of money, that's why they publish these ads."
"Is there any mistake? People who buy sports magazines are people who like sports, how can they read what these kids read? β
"Don't you know, nowadays middle school students and even college students love comics......"
"Actually, I think it's normal for SLAM DUNK to be advertised in sports media, and this cartoon is about basketball and the content is very realistic. In the 11th arrondissement, good comics are often promoted on major platforms, including television. SLAM DUNK is also an attempt to do this, right? β
"HAVE YOU SEEN SLAM DUNK? It's a child's watch at every turn, it's too pedantic. This cartoon makes me, an adult, also enthusiastic, I think this is basketball, and I even want to watch domestic high school basketball. β
β¦β¦
For those who like sports, some people like to read comics, and some people don't, so there are various controversies on the Internet, especially the long discussion of the argument that "manga are only for children".
Aside from these controversies, SLAM DUNK's advertising in sports media has also made headlines on Weibo.
In the past, there were also comics advertised in other paper media, but they were not as wide as this time, and even people who didn't read comics much once knew about "SLAM DUNK".
The organizing committee of the high school basketball league fell into a busy situation after the basketball game.
For them, the most important thing is still to find a way to attract sponsorship, and then to attract more people to pay attention to the event.
In fact, the two should be mutually causal, as long as one problem can be solved, then the second problem will also be solved.
Fang Man is the deputy director of the organizing committee, saying that he is the deputy director, and he does a lot of the work himself, while the director is to sign and show his face on the field.
He also knows that he can be the deputy director in his thirties, and he has been promoted very quickly, in addition to his academic qualifications, hard work, and excellent personal ability, the high school league has been tepid, which is also a problem.
He has been coming to the high school league organizing committee for several years, and he has always wanted to increase the attention of the high school league, but there has been no good way, after all, compared with the sports meeting and the professional league, the scale of the high school league is indeed too small.
Worry.
What's even more worrying is that he also invited a lot of media to conduct exclusive interviews with the players, but he still couldn't attract too much attention.
Fang Man is also hesitating, why has no one paid attention to the high school league?
He had just flipped through a newly published copy of "The Frontiers of Sports", and when he opened the title page, he was surprised to find that "Frontiers" had advertised a comic, and it was also a cartoon related to basketball.
βγSLAM DUNKγοΌβ
Fang Man read the name of the comic, felt a little familiar, took out his mobile phone, and searched for this comic.
In an instant, news related to "SLAM DUNK" appeared in his field of vision.
"The new volume of "SLAM DUNK" exceeded 700,000 copies in a single week, and the average volume exceeded 1 million copies. Selling well......"
"SLAM DUNK is being advertised in major sports media......"
"DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL LEAGUE, WHY IS "SLAM DUNK" SO EXCITING?"
"Huh?"
Fang Man's gaze stayed on the third piece of news, more precisely, the words "high school basketball league", which firmly attracted him.
High school league? COULD IT BE THAT SLAM DUNK HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUES?
Fang Man clicked on this news, but unexpectedly found that it was a self-media article, and secretly scolded the search engine, treating the unauthoritative article as news and pasting it in the front position.
In order to attract audiences, some self-media often exaggerate and are full of loopholes, but they can fool people who don't understand the industry.
Fang Man didn't have much hope, but since he clicked on it, he still decided to continue watching.
"SLAM DUNK IS A BIG HIT AGAIN, AND AS A BASKETBALL LOVER AND COMIC BOOK READER, I HAVE AN INDESCRIBABLE JOY AND JOY BECAUSE IT DESERVES ALL OF THIS.
"The pace of this comic is not too fast, and in the 27th episode, it really ushered in the first official training match, Xiangbei vs Lingnan. And I got into the pit because of this training competition.
"As a basketball lover, I read a lot of basketball comics, such as "Slam Dunk" by Haruka Tamagawa, but this kind of work has a characteristic, often the picture is very gorgeous, but it is not real, the scenes in these comics, the level of basketball players, is not achieved by high school students, it looks more distorted.
"But this is not the case with "SLAM DUNK", from this training match, the characteristics of its performance are real, whether it is this training match, or the matches between Xiangbei and Xiangyang and Hainan High School, it is the same...... When I watched these games, I didn't even feel like I was looking at a comic, but a video......"
When Fang Man saw this, his mind was full of question marks, is this comic really so good-looking?
