Chapter 128: Reader Discussion
The release date for the third volume of "Crime" is set for June 1, and the novel of "Crime" will also be released on the same day.
At the same time, "Comic Future" announced that in addition to the two single books, "Crime" will also produce a radio drama that will be available for free trial. As for the audition, it is similar to "Y's", that is, at the back of the novel and the manga book, there will be a line of feature code at the end of each book.
It's just that "Crime and Punishment" is more ruthless than "Y's", the feature code of the novel can listen to the radio drama of the first five words, and the feature code of the comic can listen to the content of the last five words.
Although in a month, all 10 episodes of the radio drama will be released, but for some obsessive-compulsive "patients", it is completely unbearable.
Novel readers are slightly better, after all, what is missing is the last five words, as long as you wait quietly for free announcement, it's OK, but comic book readers are very uncomfortable.
There are no first five words...... So what is the use of the radio drama that I want in the last five words?
So, they had to add another expense to the cost of the comics - the purchase of the novel "Punishment".
A week before its release, Comic Future released a trial version of the radio drama, which was enjoyed by many listeners.
The content of the story is roughly equivalent to that of the manga, but in a slightly different order. It reduces a small part of the reasoning elements, but adds a thrilling feeling, especially the background music with a gloomy monologue, which makes it not too comfortable for readers who like reasoning audio.
The fans of "Crime and Punishment" are very satisfied, and many readers announced on the forum of the comic network that they will buy the third volume and novel of "Crime and Punishment".
"Haha, the comics and novels of "Crime" were released at the same time, and I want to buy them all."
"I auditioned the radio drama and it was very feeling."
"Nonsense, the monologue is Teacher Zhang Chen, who often recites some thriller audio novels. This time, "Comic Future" is also a bloody investment. ”
"That's right. I took a look at CAST, and this time I invited all the powerful voice actors, unlike "Y's", I invited some popular voice actors, not only is the price expensive, but the background sound is not very good. ”
"Well, upstairs, although I also like "Crime", "Y's" is a love comic, and the background sound of the radio drama definitely can't be compared to "Y's."
"Doesn't this mean that the quality of the radio drama "Crime" is higher than that of "Y's"?"
"Hmm...... That said, there's nothing wrong with that. ”
"Originally, the sales of "Crime" and "Y's" were about the same. Now that I have a radio drama for promotion, I may not lose to "Y's", and I look forward to the release of "Crime". ”
"What do you mean by 'not necessarily'? Is it sure to win? Someone immediately posted a rebuttal.
"That's right, don't forget, "Crime" still has 24 episodes of instant noodles, which will be broadcast in the fall, which is the most important thing."
"Yes, yes! With instant noodles, "Punishment" can compete with "Hunting Abyss" in July, August, and September. ”
"Still thinking about "Hunting the Abyss"? The second volume was released for a month, and it just reached 400,000, which is not as good as "Crime" and "Y's". ”
These posts are available in the Comic Future section and can also be seen by readers of Hunting the Abyss.
However, in addition to being angry, they have no way to defend themselves, after all, what they said is right, the sales of the single book of "Hunting Abyss" are really not as good as "Crime" and "Y's", so they can only leave a message under Ye Hexu's Weibo, hoping that this guy can make a move.
"Hunting the Abyss" sold a total of 840,000 copies, and although it only ranked 14th, he was not in a hurry at all.
After all, the third volume has not yet been released, and he still has a chance to turn the tables.
Subsequently, "New World" also announced the release date of "Y's", June 3. To the surprise of readers, on the day of the release, "Y's" will hold a one-day book signing event at the Jiman Bookstore in Hongchuan.
As soon as this news came out, it caused heated debate in both "Comic Future" and "Other" sections.
"What's going on? Isn't "Y's" a manga by the sea of clouds? How do you sell books in Jiman Bookstore? ”
"I don't even want a base camp, "Y's" is hard enough."
"What's this called fighting? This is nothing more than self-inflicted humiliation. Don't look at whose base camp is Hongchuan? ”
"I'll bet that Y's won't have more than 2,000 book signings."
"You must have investigated in advance, and you know that Y's's first two book signings never exceeded 2,000 copies."
"To bet or not?"
"Why gamble when you know you're going to lose? Is it bad to keep money for a girl? ”
In the "Other Sections", the most popular post is not to discuss why "Y's" held a book signing and sales meeting in Hongchuan, but to put it on the top of the purchasing post.
Guaranteed by the moderator himself, readers who want to buy books will be registered in the book in the order of reply, and try to buy signed "Y's" for everyone.
There is no mid-price difference, but payment must be made in full.
In less than an hour after posting, the replies exceeded 100 floors.
In addition to the purchase post, another piece of information from "Y's" also caused heated discussions.
"Y's radio drama is also free, but the release process is slightly different from the first time. Every time the fourth volume exceeds 100,000 copies, a 2-episode radio drama will be released, and the method of providing free trial and download ...... "Y's" is too bizarre, right? Can we only wait until a month later to listen to all the radio dramas? ”
"Landlord, you're thinking too much. Don't you see? In the news released by New World, there is no mention of the full release time. ”
"That means that if you don't sell 500,000 copies, won't you be able to hear the full radio drama later?"
"What about the second season of the radio drama? Please, can you read that news? After the sales reached 500,000 copies, if less than 300,000 copies of the questionnaire were sent back, it is estimated that the next radio drama will not be available. ”
"So ruthless? What to do? ”
"What's wrong with you? Is it hard to think that the fourth volume of "Y's" has not sold 500,000 copies? Don't forget, the third volume of Y's alone sold 550,000 copies. ”
"That's right, and it's absolutely fair to most people. I remember that in the first week of the third volume last time, the single book sold nearly 400,000 copies, which means that at least six words were released in a week, which is already very fast. ”
"They may also wonder if radio dramas are popular, after all, these are free, and they need a reason to stick with them."
"If you say that, there is some truth to it."
"It's equivalent to the magazine giving us the right to choose, and we have the right to decide the life and death of the radio drama."
"Besides, even if there were no radio dramas, wouldn't you sell 'Y's'? I'm sure I'm going to buy it, but as for you, I don't care? ”
"Don't talk about it, buy it, buy it, Y's is worth collecting."
"Crime" launched a radio drama, which made the battle for comic book sales particularly fierce. Readers of "Crime and Punishment" also held their breath and wanted to reverse the "shame" brought by the last loss to "Y's".
Readers of "Y's" didn't think about it that much, but saved up enough money and waited silently for "Punishment" to be released.
