The popularity of the first volume of the single comic book of "Yu-Gi-Oh" is beyond the imagination of Nan Tong and Gu Miao.

Before that.

The estimated sales volume reported by Nantong to Gu Miao is about 5-100,000 copies. After all, this is only the first volume, and the initial sales will certainly not be too high.

After this comic series has a certain influence, the second and third volumes on sale may have good sales.

But no one thought of it......

It's just the first single volume of comics, and it's selling so well in bookstores and newsstands around the world? In just one week, it was reprinted three times in succession, and the total sales exceeded 200,000.

This is also selling too hot!

If it continues to be sold like this, the first month sales of the single comic book of "Yu-Gi-Oh" will not be 1 million.

What is the concept of selling millions of copies per month?

Bestseller?! Bullshit!

No bestseller can do it, and such exaggerated sales figures can't be compared to even the recent explosion of youth pain literature.

Of course!

Behind such a boom in sales is actually the credit of "word of mouth" among the student group. Out of curiosity, Gu Miao also visited several surrounding schools to investigate.

It seems that the comic "Yu-Gi-Oh" is really popular in schools, especially boys, who are basically discussing the content of comics.

It has seized the student market and become a popular trend on campus, so it's no wonder that comics don't sell well.

And this is still the premise that some students like to "borrow" other people's comics and don't like to buy books to read by themselves.

If students choose to buy a copy of their own comic book instead of borrowing their classmates' comic books, the sales will only be higher, and it is estimated that they will reach the top of the annual bestseller list.

It can only be said that it is a pity!

Gu Miao was not only lamented by the trend brought about by the "Yu-Gi-Oh" comics, but also very curious about one thing.

The manga has now sold quite a few copies.

So as the core derivative of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" card, has anyone bought it and played it?

"Yes, and a lot."

Mr. He of Wanbao Toys smiled on his face. After hearing Mr. Gu's doubts, I saw him say with a bright smile: "Our cards were originally intended to be sold with comic books, that is, to buy comic books and get a bag of card packs. ”

It's normal to do this.

Because in the beginning, no one was sure how big the market would be for this unique card. For the sake of conservatism, bundling comic books and selling them together is the most correct choice.

But the results were unexpected.

With the popularity of comics, more and more people began to inquire where to buy the "summoning monster" cards in comics.

So driven by interests, Wanbao Toys printed a batch of Yu-Gi-Oh cards with the idea of "giving it a try" and made them into a bag of card packs for 10 yuan, which were sold in small quantities in some dealer stores.

This batch of card packs, snapped up by enthusiastic comic book readers, quickly sold out.

Reprint! Keep printing!

In order to satisfy the hungry and thirsty consumers, Wanbao Toys subsequently carried out multiple batches of reprinting.

As of April 7.

Mr. He told Gu Miao that Wanbao Toys has exceeded 5 million yuan in sales in the "card pack" business alone.

This also means that while the comics are popular all over the country, 500,000 bags of derivative card toys have also been sold.

It's outrageous!

In Lao He's original words, a thin piece of paper that costs only a few cents will be bought by someone for one yuan a piece. This kind of sales data is simply picking up money with a sack.

"It's not enough to pick up money in sacks."

Gu Miao waved her hand, and said with the same smile: "But this thing has a low cost, and it is indeed very profitable." ”

"That's right, Mr. Gu!"

Speaking of the peripheral derivatives of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" comics, that is, the game card of the same name as Yu-Gi-Oh, Lao He quickly explained: "When making cards, we didn't have time to distinguish between rarity and rarity, what do we need to do about this?" ”

What is the rarity of rarity?

Gu Miao touched her chin and thought about it, and then said, "This one has to upgrade the printing process and make more tricks on the card surface." ”

"That kind of gold and silver card, I'm sure it won't bother you. The point is that kind of card surface flash process, can it be made now? ”

"You can try."

Lao He groaned: "If the difficulty is concerned, it is actually not particularly high. The main thing is to do this kind of card surface processing, the cost will increase a lot, and the price is ......"

"It doesn't matter what the price is."

"This kind of rare card, I can't print a few of them on its own. Strictly control the envelope rate of rare cards and ordinary cards, and the price can remain the same. ”

After saying this, Gu Miao paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, and then added: "Oh yes! ”

"In addition to the normal way of distinguishing the rarity of the card face, you can also do another way of distinguishing the rarity."

"What's the difference?"

"Try to print as few monster cards as possible that have special value, or significance." Worried that Lao He didn't understand the deep meaning, Gu Miao deliberately pointed out, "For example, the blue-eyed white dragon must not be rotten on the street!" ”

"I hope that the blue-eyed white dragon can maintain its compulsion, no matter what happens in the future, this card is still rare, and only one or two out of ten people have ......"

This is also Gu Miao's bad taste.

In the "Yu-Gi-Oh" anime, in the "Yu-Gi-Oh" manga, the first monster card that readers and viewers came into contact with was certified as a "rare card" by the original Kazuki Takahashi was [Blue-Eyed White Dragon].

For the sake of this card, Seahorse even ran to rob the game's grandfather and tore up his [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] to ensure that the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] card in his hand was unique.

This plot left a deep impression on Gu Miao.

At the time, he thought.

it! The blue-eyed white dragon is so powerful? can actually make Haima, the young master of a big consortium, do such a "shameless" thing?

It can be said that the card that Gu Miao craved the most when he was a child was the blue-eyed white dragon.

And this desire, until he grew up, he found out that he was deceived when he was a child, whether it was a blue-eyed white dragon or a three-illusion god, it didn't seem to be a particularly rare card?

Don't get me wrong!

By this rarity, he was referring to the rarity of the Puka, not the version of the special card treatment such as the Gold Card Flash.

In the anime, only the seahorse has three blue-eyed white dragons, and the three phantom gods are extremely rare.

Can be ...... in reality

Special meow, but anyone who is a card old, everyone has a blue-eyed white dragon and three phantom gods. Although it is not a gold or silver card with a particularly high rarity, he at least has it!

Who is this reasonable?

Gu Miao, who was deceived by the plot of the animation, suffered a huge blow to her young heart. In the words of the Internet buzzword, that is the state of "blackened".

Now that he has the opportunity to personally formulate the rarity and rarity of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" cards, Gu Miao will certainly not let go of the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon].

Not to mention the standard in the anime manga, there are only three in the world, and all of them are in the hands of seahorses......

At least it can't be rotten on the street, out of ten people, at most only one or two people have it, which is the most suitable rarity.
