Chapter 1067: Times Are Different
Influenced by the national competition, "SLAM DUNK" has attracted the attention of many non-comic lovers in China.
UNLIKE OTHER COMICS, SLAM DUNK IS NOT A COMIC THAT IS LIMITED TO THE COMIC WORLD, AND SOME BASKETBALL FANS HAVE ALSO BEGUN TO PAY ATTENTION TO AND READ THIS COMIC AFTER READING IT.
Because of this, "SLAM DUNK" has soared, and by the end of the national competition, the average volume sales had reached 1.9 million copies.
Shortly after the end of the national competition, the "SD" animation was released, and the animation hit rate of each episode was almost 1 million, and it is still increasing at a rapid rate.
However, even so, on the site of popot, SLAM DUNK is still not a tyrant. QUANFAN,THERE ARE 3 ANIMATIONS THAT ARE BETTER THAN "SLAM DUNK",TWO OF THEM ARE LIGHT MODIFICATIONS、Sell cute animations.,Immediately followed by the animation of "SLAM DUNK",It's a moe adapted from Zuo Hara animation.。
At the beginning of the release of the animation, Yu Chen had great expectations for the increase in sales of "SD", after all, in the absence of animation premise, "SLAM DUNK" already had an average volume of 1.9 million copies, and if you add the full-color version of the comic, 2.2 million volumes will never have to run.
The facts are quite different from Yu Chen's speculation, the animation has been released for two weeks, although the sales of the single book are also increasing, but the magnitude is not as big as imagined, the volume of black and white comics is only 2.1 million copies in front of it, and in the small book, the gap between "SLAM DUNK" and other comics is widening, which shows that the plot is no problem.
"2.1 million copies...... This volume should have surpassed Mr. Shen's previous comics, right? ”
After Wu Xiaoli mentioned this sales, Lu Ning was surprised and didn't say a word for a while.
With an average of 2.1 million volumes, how many volumes does "Crossing Girl" have to be published to catch up?
"Sister Xiaoli, you said that after the release of the animation, the increase in "SLAM DUNK" is not as good as that of other comics, do you think it's because the animation is too bad?" Xi Muhan asked softly.
She often heard Wang Wenhong complain about animation, although Shen Xin didn't directly say that animation was not good, but from his words, it was not difficult to guess that he was not very satisfied with the quality of animation.
"It's not bad, is it?" Lu Ning raised her head and thought for a moment, "If the animation of "Crossing Girl" can have this level, I should be very happy." ”
"Of course, "Crossing Girl" is a reasoning fan, to be honest, it is already very powerful to achieve the level of "DN". "SLAM DUNK" is a sports fan, and the requirements must be higher than the reasoning fan. Therefore, the level that is acceptable to "Crossing Girl", "SLAM DUNK" may not be acceptable. After a brief explanation, Wu Xiaoli said, "The sales increase of "SLAM DUNK" has slowed down, and I guess it has little to do with animation, maybe because people who are willing to buy comics have already bought it. ”
"Huh? What do you mean? Xi Muhan was puzzled.
"Now the sales of "SLAM DUNK" are 1 million copies, which is almost at the top level in China, but readers who want to buy comics should have bought them during the national competition, and due to the influence of webtoons, there are indeed some readers who will give up paper comics, so the growth rate of single books will slow down. This is also my guess, and I can't count them. Wu Xiaoli waved her hand.
Although it is speculation, in the impressions of Xi Muhan and Lu Ning, there is indeed some truth.
After submitting the name to Wu Xiaoli, Xi Muhan also returned from Lu Ning's studio and returned to the cubicle, where Shen Xin was working with Wang Wenhong to revise the name of "SLAMDUNK".
Xi Muhan listened for a while and found that most of them were modifications in details, such as how the dialogue was smoother and what kind of storyboard could better express the gripping plot.
Seeing that Shen Xin was still focusing more on creation, Xi Muhan also relaxed a little.
Perhaps, for Shen Xin, the animation level of "SLAM DUNK" should be acceptable......
Xi Muhan speculated in his heart.
"Xiaohan, is there something wrong?" Shen Xin saw Xi Muhan standing beside him and asked curiously.
"Huh? Not. Xi Muhan hurriedly shook his head, "Brother, don't worry too much about animation." I asked Sister Xiaoli just now, and she said that it may be because readers who are willing to buy "SLAM DUNK" have already bought it, so the sales increase is limited. Also, webtoons are now more developed, and not every reader pays for books and magazines. ”
Shen Xin couldn't cry or laugh, "You, are you still worried about your own business?" ”
The sales of "Comic Future" are not something that ordinary people can imagine.
When it was on Earth, the total print run of Volume 20 of SLAM DUNK exceeded 60 million copies, with an average of nearly 3 million copies.
HE IS NOW WRITING "SLAM DUNK", THE 18TH VOLUME HAS ALREADY BEEN RELEASED, AND HUAXIA AND DISTRICT 11 TOGETHER HAVE EXCEEDED 3 MILLION COPIES, BUT IN A SINGLE MARKET, IT IS FAR FROM THE SALES OF THE EARTH.
Of course, there are some special reasons for this.
On Earth, the time of the animation release is much earlier than in this world, and another reason is that Wu Xiaoli was right. Because, times are different.
When "SLAM DUNK" was serialized, there were no webcomics, and there was only one way for everyone to read comics, and that was to buy magazines and single books.
However, in this world, there are so many places where you can see comics, and you don't even have to buy magazines and monographs anymore, and it is normal for the sales of "SLAM DUNK" monographs to decline.
From Shen Xin's point of view, I definitely hope that "SLAM DUNK" can create another miracle, and the cooperation between "Comic Future" and the high school league has indeed attracted a group of unexpected readers.
The two worlds have their own advantages and disadvantages, and some things cannot be changed, such as the changes of the times, and the influence of the times on comics is greater than other factors.
And some things are under their control, such as restoring "SLAM DUNK" as much as possible, showing the ceiling of this sports comic in front of readers.
For this, he didn't even have time to complain.
Seeing the smile on Shen Xin's face, Xi Muhan was a little dazed and a little worried: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Me? It's nothing. Just figured it out. Shen Xin said with a smile.
Well?
Xi Muhan was puzzled.
"I'M GOING TO FOCUS MORE ON SLAM DUNK NOW, AT LEAST NOT TO DISAPPOINT THE READERS." Shen Xin stretched his waist and smiled knowingly.
……
As the competition between Xiangbei and Lingnan deepens, the plot of "SLAM DUNK" becomes more and more exciting.
In the first half, Lingnan led by 6 points, and in the second half, the situation changed abruptly.
When Hanamichi was attacking, he threw himself and grabbed it, and when he shot again, the Yuzhu hitter fouled, causing Yuzhu to commit 4 fouls and get 2 free throws.
There were 19 seconds left in the third quarter, but the fish pillar had to go down early and not reappear until the second half of the fourth quarter.
Hanamichi missed two free throws, but grabbed the rebound and passed to Shan Jing Shou, who was three points away.
Three-point hit!
At 45:44, Xiangbei overtook Lingnan and gained an advantage.
