Chapter 122: Celebration
Due to the promotion of magazines and the release of radio dramas, more people knew about "Y's", and the popularity of "Y's" reached its peak in a short period of time. Subsequently, the sales of single books began to decline. In the end, the weekly sales of the third volume of Y's were fixed at 390,000 copies.
"Crime and Punishment" also did well, with the second volume selling 360,000 copies in a single week, which was a slight disadvantage. At the same time, the total sales of single books have also increased to varying degrees with the release of new books.
In the recent rookie sales list, "Y's" ranked 10th on the new book list with 1.1 million copies, followed by "Punishment" with 50,000 copies.
Is there really a chance to compete for the newcomer award?
Seeing the new ranking launched by Manjia.com, Song Tai also paid more and more attention to "Y's".
He did put a lot of money into the release of his new book for Y's, but it turned out to be more than he expected.
In the past, "New World" has also launched radio dramas for some comics, and even made animations, but the effect is not as obvious as this time.
The single book sold 390,000 copies in a single week, which is even 30,000 copies more than "Crime and Punishment", which is enough to make him happy for a while.
In addition, the outbreak of "Y's" also gave the magazine another harvest - the sales of a single issue of "New World" increased by 100,000 copies compared with the previous issue, reaching 800,000, and at the same time left behind the old rival "Dreamer".
Among the 100,000 copies, part of the reason is that while he promoted "Y's", he also put the name of "New World" in a more conspicuous place, so that everyone knew the magazine brand unconsciously, and the other part was driven by "Y's".
After reading the single book, if you still want to watch the next plot, you can only buy another magazine.
In short, this promotion of "Y's" is a win-win situation, and he and Shen Xin take what they need.
Next, Song Tae's task is to continue to be in charge of the recording of the second season of the radio drama, and at the same time look for advertisements with higher prices to reduce the cost. If the effect is okay, then he will start a second negotiation with Shen Xin.
……
"Cheers!"
In the private room of a Chinese restaurant, the people around the round table stood up and raised their glasses.
The cups are filled with drinks in a variety of forms, from liquor and beer to juice and cola.
Everyone took a sip and sat down.
"Congratulations to Mr. Shen, this time, you let others know that even if it is a magazine in a small place, there are first-class comics in China." Yan Fei took a sip of beer, and a refreshing look appeared on her face.
During this period of time, she was under a lot of pressure, on the one hand, she had to communicate with Shen Xin about the name of the new word, and on the other hand, she also communicated with Song Tai from time to time, hoping that he could tilt more resources on Shen Xin.
In this regard, Song Ren also gave Yan Fei a face, but she didn't care at all.
The promotion of "Y's" was finalized by you, what do you say?
Fortunately, the results of "Y's" slapped Song Ren's face hard, and it also gave Yan Fei confidence when talking to Song Ren.
"Thank you for your support." Shen Xin said with a smile.
The success of "Y's" was unexpected, but when you think about it, it's not that hard to understand.
In fact, online novels are relatively similar to "Y's" this time, and some online novels that are usually unknown may soar as long as the website gives a better recommendation. And the key factor that determines success or failure is - the quality of the work. Clearly, Y's has that quality.
"Y's" is now in the top 10 of the rookie list, and as long as it continues to work hard in the next two months, it should not be a problem to enter the second stage.
However, the competition for the "Newcomer Award" entries only really began in the second stage. Magazines and societies use various means to increase the exposure of their comics, and it is unknown how much support "New World" will give "Y's" at that time.
"Editor Yan, this time "Y's" achieved this good result, and it also greatly improved the reputation of "New World", and the magazine society will not give Mr. Shen some rewards? Like sending a car or something? After Gao Hang drank two glasses of beer, he was also a little excited, so he said a few words from his heart.
"What's the use of giving a car? No one drove it. Lu Ning asked rhetorically.
"Who says no one is driving? Am I not human? Gao Hang was a little unhappy, "I took the driver's license test three years ago, but I haven't had the opportunity to touch a real car." ”
"I'll go back and ask the magazine for a model car for you." Yan Fei said with a smile.
"Huh? That's still it. Gao Hang shook his head.
He knew that the price of the car model was not cheap either, but for him, he would rather have an Iori figure.
"While Y's is selling well and New World is up, the money hasn't been recouped. This was followed by the next round of publicity, which again required a large amount of money. Yan Fei explained.
Gao Hang scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm just saying it casually." ”
Yan ...... Sister Yan, I saw a picture on Weibo, it seems that someone designed Iori's pillow and mouse pad, which is quite interesting. Didn't the magazine think about making merchandise? Zhou Yang remembered one thing, considering that Xiaoli was sitting next to him, he didn't dare to speak loudly.
"That person is Ye Hexu, the author of "Hunting the Abyss", not a cat or a dog." Xiaoli reminded.
"Huh? Is it? I don't know, I just think that if these things are actually launched, someone should buy them. Zhou Yang said.
Gao Hang's eyes were bright, and he nodded again and again, "That's right, using that kind of mouse pad, it is estimated that it will be very comfortable, and the pillow is not bad." As long as the premium is not too much, there will definitely be no worries about sales. ”
In a word, Gao Hang's "home" nature was revealed.
Lu Ning and Xiaoli immediately cast contemptuous looks, and even Zhou Yang deliberately distanced himself from him.
Hey, it's okay if they have an opinion about me, why are you like them?
Gao Hang looked at Zhou Yang, his mouth opened slightly, and he didn't think through the reason for it for a long time.
"Teacher Gao, I may have to discourage you. So far, the magazine has no plans to launch this kind of merchandise. Yan Fei explained.
"Why? It's obviously very profitable. Gao Hang was puzzled.
"Because there are already a large number of similar products on the market, and the prices are not expensive, even if Y's publishes similar peripherals, it will not necessarily have high sales, and besides, no company has submitted an authorization application to the magazine, and it is impossible for the magazine to publish this kind of peripherals for the time being."
Shen Xin nodded slightly, compared with other more popular comics, "Y's" lacks accumulation, and it is not a good choice to release peripherals rashly.
Gao Hang listened to Yan Fei's explanation and drank a whole glass of beer depressedly.
The people at the table burst out laughing, and the atmosphere in the room became much more lively.
While everyone was putting their energy on the food in front of them, Yan Fei glanced at Shen Xin and glanced at the door.
Shen Xin understood, stood up from his seat, and walked out of the room, and Yan Fei followed out.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xin asked.
"Shouldn't you think about a second meeting with the president? The magazine is preparing to release the fourth volume in June, so before that, why don't you discuss the follow-up cooperation with the president? ”
