Chapter 481: Sales
During these three days of holiday on New Year's Day, things related to comics followed.
The manga craze brought about by the ninth volume of "Steel" surprised many cartoonists.
originally thought that paper comics would begin to decline because of the emergence of multiman.com, but "Steel Chain" proves that as long as the work is excellent, readers will definitely pay for it.
In Hongchuan City, "Steel Refining" is almost out of stock, and the sales in other parts of the country are also considerable, and on January 4, the official Weibo of "Comic Future" announced the reissue of "Steel Forged".
The hot sales of "Steel" also drove the sales of "Star Games" magazine. The first issue of "Star Games" in the new year sold 100,000 more copies than before, which made "Star Games" magazine overjoyed.
Then Wang Yunze joined Duoman.com.
Although Wang Yunze's comics have not yet been officially serialized, Duoman.com has taken advantage of Wang Yunze's extremely high popularity in China, so that the attention of some readers is once again focused on Duoman.com, and some readers look at Wang Yunze's interview video, as well as half-price annual members, and can't help but rush the annual fee to Manjia.com.
According to the official WeChat report of Duoman.com, on the first day, the number of users who handled annual membership on Duoman reached 200,000.
This number is far beyond everyone's imagination, and as time goes by, this number continues to climb, and by the third day, it soared to 400,000.
In addition to Wang Yunze, Duoman also dug up a person who may influence other magazines - Yuan Zhe, the editor-in-chief of "Manga Fly", left the original magazine and will join Duoman after New Year's Day, serving as the CEO of the website, responsible for all affairs of Duoman.com.
This layer contains two layers of meaning.
First of all, the editorial department of "Manga Fly" has lost its helm, and no one knows what will happen to "Manga Fly" in the future. Secondly, the top person in charge of Duoman.com was replaced by Tong Yu and Yuan Zhe. In the future, the operation of Duoman.com will be separated from Fengshuo.
Yuan Zhe also has a certain appeal in the comics industry, and with him sitting on the multi-comic network, it is easier to recruit powerful authors.
Many comic book lovers don't pay attention to these, and they may not even care who Yuan Zhe is. For them, in addition to Wang Yunze's joining Duoman.com, another thing that interests readers is the release of the first issue of "Comic Future".
"Hunting the Abyss" was serialized again after 18 weeks, and the latest episode of "Steel Forged" "Western Sage (I)" was also published at the same time.
One is the former pillar, which was re-serialized and published 40 pages in one go, and the magazine gave it a headpiece color page, and the other is a popular hit recently.
After getting the comics, many readers opened the magazine as soon as possible, and from the front to the back, they were the first to turn to "Hunting Abyss".
After defeating the final boss, the Lord of Warcraft, the hunters killed the Lord of Warcraft, packed his body into a nutrient solution, and pulled it to the metropolis to make a taxidermy. However, due to the carelessness of the staff, the internal organs were not removed.
In half a year, the body of the Lord of Warcraft absorbed the nutrient solution, and with the help of the camouflage of the torso, the visceral cells gradually became conscious, grew into a fist-sized ball of meat, and when the nutrient solution was replaced in the research institute, it burst out of the bottle and quickly entered the body of the staff.
The staff in charge of monitoring found an abnormality and immediately sounded the alarm, 3 S-class hunters wanted to intercept and kill the Lord of Warcraft, but 2 people were killed, and the other female hunter was controlled by the Lord of Warcraft......
"Hunting Abyss" is about to end, but now it has to continue to create on the basis of the original comics, and there will definitely be a logical conflict. However, if you ignore the logical flaws, it is not difficult to find that the follow-up plot of "Hunting Abyss" is also quite exciting.
Fortunately, this sentence is 40 pages long, and there are headpiece color pages, full of sincerity, few readers deliberately pick thorns, and Ye Hexu quickly recognized "Hunting Abyss" with his excellent broken chapters.
Whether it is Weibo, or the heated discussion on the comic network forum, or a large number of readers' letters, it all proves the success of the return of "Hunting the Abyss".
"Steel" is just after the war.
For general comics, after a wonderful duel, there is often a period of lull, and the reason is very simple, that is, I am afraid that the plot will be too tight, so that the reader's spirit will remain high at all times, and when the plot comes to the climax again, it will not be able to mobilize the reader's emotions.
There is another point - due to his own strength, the author may not be able to keep the plot in a high-paced state all the time.
"Steel" handles this plot by dividing the soldiers into two lines.
One of the lines, dominated by Al and Roy, engage in a tragic duel with the androids. And after the end of the war, "Steel" then led to another line, replacing this period of lull with Edward's observations.
It seems that there is no fight, but the effect is not weak at all.
Edward and Fu Ye, following Bleda as "stowaways", go to the east and enter the desert.
Bradley, along with the others, met with his father and explained why he didn't kill Roy.
"I'm going to let him open the door!"
This sentence seems to slow down the pace, but the tension of the plot is not weak at all.
At the end, Roy and several other patients stayed in the ward, deliberating on the relationship between the president and the artificial human, and also left a suspense - whether these people can discover the true identity of the president.
……
These two comics are very exciting, and the debate between the two comics on the Manjia.com forum is becoming more and more intense.
"Comic Future" took advantage of the popularity of the two comics, and also released the weekly sales of the 9th volume of "Steel".
"The 9th volume of "Steel Refining" has achieved excellent results in the past week, of which the weekly sales of Huaxia are 750,000 copies, and the single-week sales of 11 districts are 520,000 copies, thank you for your long-term support, we will work harder in the future!"
The issuance of this Weibo made many people stunned.
With the addition of 11 districts, the weekly sales of a single volume of "Steel Forge" approached 1.3 million copies, which far exceeded the expectations of most readers.
At a time when the paper comic market is slightly weak, "Steel" has come up with such a report card, which is enough to prove that the market for paper comics is still strong.
"Fake, right? Will the 9th volume of "Steel" be so popular? ”
"Some time ago, someone said that the 9th volume of Steelmaking sold 500,000 copies in District 11, and I thought it was bragging. I didn't expect it to be officially confirmed today. ”
"1.3 million copies a week, that's a bit exaggerated."
"It's an exaggeration! This is still an achievement achieved under the premise that the animation has not been released! ”
"To be honest, the gap between "Sky Wolf" and "Steel" is a bit big."
Someone mentioned "Sky Wolf", and naturally someone mentioned the Weibo that Duan commented forwarded.
"Didn't someone say a few days ago that "Steel Forge" invited a water army? The heat can be brushed by the water army, come, you say, is this sales volume also looking for someone to brush? ”
"Just kidding, the author only gets 10% of the royalties for a book, if you brush a single book, isn't it a loss?"
"I remember that some time ago, Mr. Duan posted a Weibo, 'High popularity does not mean good sales'. Now a slap in the face, right? Has Mr. Duan's comics been more than 500,000 copies in a single week? ”
"Don't say it, when I saw that Weibo, I smelled a strong sour smell. It is estimated that the income of "Steel Refining" for a week is equivalent to Mr. Duan's income for several months, right? ”
"Don't argue, Mr. Duan deleted that Weibo!"
"Huh? I'd like to take a screenshot as a souvenir! It's over (crying). ”
The next few floors are full of smiling emojis.
