Chapter 459: Pressure and Sales

After the comics, "Comic Future" has been affected, the magazine's sales have dropped significantly, in three days, there are 200,000 copies of the sales of less, which makes the atmosphere of the "Comic Future" editorial department extraordinarily solemn, and at the same time, some people began to pay attention to the 36th issue of the magazine.

It is still unknown whether the double insurance created by "Game" and "Steel" can withstand the fiercest offensive of Duoman.com.

The editors of the magazine know that a big problem faced by Duoman is that there are too few works on the site, but it will take time for this shortcoming to be exposed.

One month...... For at least a month, Domography will not be affected by the content.

Before October, they ...... There are other magazines that must withstand this offensive of Duoman.com.

At the beginning of the 36th issue, the editorial office was in a tense state. Editors browse the web to speculate on how satisfied readers are with the magazine.

But soon, they discovered a problem, netizens did not have a heated discussion about the latest serialized comics.

This is true not only of "Comic Future", but also of "Manga Fly", "Leap", and "Manga Weekly" - whether it is Manjia.com or other forums, there are not too many posts discussing the latest issue of the magazine.

"Lag!" Wang Wenhong rubbed his forehead helplessly.

That's right!

This is pretty much the biggest drawback of magazine comics compared to webcomics.

Readers have to go to bookstores to buy magazines in order to read and rate them. When the magazine first came out, it was difficult for readers to get their hands on the comics right away.

is also a new serialization, and the speed at which readers are exposed to comics on the Internet is significantly faster than that of paper magazines, which also creates a situation - two or three days later, readers' discussion of the magazine will reach a climax.

Obviously, this shortcoming is insoluble for paper magazines.

Wang Wenhong knocked on the table twice, immediately stood up, took his coat and notepad, wrote "bookstore research" on the whiteboard at the entrance of the editorial department, and prepared to leave the editorial office.

In this case, you can only learn more about it when you go to the sales site.

"Wait a minute!"

Yan Fei couldn't sit still, stood up, put the pen and notepad in her handbag, and also came to the door, writing her name on the whiteboard.

The authors of the two are the main cartoonists of this issue, so they are inevitably a little nervous.

Out of the building where the editorial office is located, the two of them trotted into the subway and found a seat to sit down.

Wang Wenhong looked serious, and slid the phone screen with a frown.

Now "Sky Wolf" has ranked 10th on the popularity list of Chinese comics, and the momentum is extremely strong.

Although this ranking is only related to the search volume of comics, and it is not directly linked to the income of comics, it seems that Duoman intends to push this ranking into the reader's field of vision, and after that, maybe this ranking can also become a very important list.

"From the current point of view, the transformation of "Sky Wolf" is very successful." Yan Fei glanced at Wang Wenhong's mobile phone and said softly.

"yes. But it may also have something to do with being free. Wang Wenhong put away his phone angrily and muttered.

"Sky Wolf" is something that takes place in a parallel world, probably similar to the current world, where the country has an organization called "Sky Wolf" to punish evil and promote good.

Compared with the comics in "Leap", the style of "Sky Wolf" is much simpler, and there is a lot less text used to narrate.

This is also considering that the web and the magazine are two completely different types of platforms.

Readers hold paper books and read them easily, while readers on online platforms don't have that patience.

Use more pictures, less text, and more content is solved with sub-shots, the storyboards of "Sky Wolf" are indeed significantly different from those of "Fu Demon Zhi", but compared with Shen Xin and Wang Yunze, who are good at using sub-shots, they are still much worse.

"It's still just Duan Ping and "Sky Wolf", if Mr. Wang joins and is also free, then there shouldn't be anyone else in the first place, right?" Yan Fei said worriedly.

"That can't be ......" Wang Wenhong's face was a little ugly, at that time, Wang Yunze would definitely be Shen Xin's biggest opponent, "However, fortunately, there is not much 'content' on Duoman.com now." ”

"Content isn't key." Yan Fei shook her head.

"How is that possible?" Wang Wenhong shook his head, "They have no foundation. ”

"How could a company as big as Fengshuo Media not be able to handle this? If you hadn't prepared enough, do you think they would have started rashly? Yan Fei asked rhetorically.

Wang Wenhong frowned slightly, and sweat oozed from his forehead. If Tong Yu really solves the problem of "content", then, Duoman.com is almost invulnerable.

But where will he find resources from?

Wang Wenhong shook his head, he was not Tong Yu, and it was impossible for him to think of a solution in a short period of time.

The two got off at Nanjiatan Station, got out of the subway station, and went directly to Jiman Bookstore.

After a few polite words with the bookstore owner, Wang Wenhong went straight to the point.

"How's Comic Future selling?"

"It's a quarter less than usual, isn't it?" The boss shook his head.

Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei's faces changed slightly.

A quarter less?

At this rate, wouldn't it be a million copies a week?

"That...... What about other magazines? "Manga Fly", as well as "Manga Weekly", "Girls' Century", ......" Wang Wenhong hurriedly asked.

The boss shrugged, "Even CF is in this situation, and other magazines can't sell too well." I said that you magazines should also hurry up and think of a way, if this continues, the magazines will not be able to sell. ”

"We're also thinking about a solution now." Yan Fei took the words.

But whether the solution will be beneficial to bookstores is hard to say.

"By the way, boss, what about the single book? Has it also been impacted? Yan Fei asked.

"The single book is fine...... There is also a decline, and the range is within the permitted range, but my suggestion is that in the future, it is better to reduce the number of prints of a single book, after all, the pressure of goods on us is not the solution to the problem. In the end, everyone loses money. The boss persuaded.

Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei nodded again and again, making it safer for the printing house to print than to press the goods, and the pressure on the magazine will be less.

After leaving Jiman, the two went to several bookstores near Nanjiatan, but found that other bookstores were similar, and on the first day of the new issue of the magazine, the sales of all magazines declined to varying degrees, among which "Comic Future" had the largest decline.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, it has too many bases, and the sales volume will drop casually, which may be the sales of an issue of second- or third-rate magazines.

The two of them suddenly lost their appetite for eating, Wang Wenhong returned to the dormitory, threw the briefcase on the bed, and then, in the form of a "big" character, lay on the bed, his brain was groggy.

"No...... the latest episodes of "Steelcore" and "Game" are very good...... But why can't sales go up? Or is it ...... Is there really a lag in the purchase of magazines by readers? ”

No way!

Wang Wenhong immediately sat up straight, came to the computer, and opened the Manjia.com forum.

During the day, there were only twenty or thirty new posts in the Comic Future section of the comic network, and now a red "170" is written next to the number of posts.

Hey? The number of new posts suddenly rose to "170"!?

Wang Wenhong's eyes lit up, and his fingers subconsciously clicked the mouse to open the section of "Comic Future".
