It's the end of August.

In August, there were two important events for Xia Yan in the Dragon Kingdom comic industry and industry.

The sales of both the initial D and the Sword Art Online's single volume exceeded 22 million in terms of average sales.

The initial D is the top of the dragon country from the average sales of a single volume, and there are still 500,000 volume average data.

And its number one enemy, the Squirrel Comics Club serialized by Double Ring, is a big move at the end of August, the author of Double Ring attends some commercial events and TV programs, and various discount promotions for Double Ring comic books in bookstores are wave after wave.

The works of this era will only be sold in comparison with the works of the same era.

It's like no one in the parallel world would compare the sales of Demon Slayer with the Slam Dunk comic of decades ago, and then come to the conclusion that Demon Slayer is far greater than Slam Dunk.

Leave aside the bizarre works in the history of the Dragon Kingdom comics.

In today's Dragon Country comic serial market, the comic with the first selling single book is Shuangjie, and it is precisely because of this first-order sales data that the market will give this work such a high commercial valuation.

Don't look at the gap in the average sales order of this single volume, if Shuangjie can't keep this result, and the market psychological expectation declines, then next year's income from this work from various eye industries will be reduced by at least tens of millions.

In addition, the sales of Beizhou Comics Club have risen sharply because of the initial D, and the sales data of this week's "Beizhou" is very close to the "Squirrel" of Squirrel Comics Club.

Who is the number one selling comic journal in Dragon Country.

Beizhou Comics and Squirrel Comics, a year ago, were only the first and third bestsellers in the comic book market.

But now, a year later, it has become a battle for the status of first and second.

As for the light industry, the situation of Liuli Book Society is similar.

The weekly sales of the journal have risen to 16.4 million copies.

It is not much different from the weekly sales of 17.2 million copies of "Starry Night", which is the number one company.

Moreover, the average sales of the Sword Art Online volume of 22.1 million copies, and the sales figure of 23 million copies of the Starry Sky Head Work of the Revolutionary of Another World, can already be said to be very small.

The comics industry and the light industry, Xia Yan and the two companies that he cooperated with, Beizhou and Liuli, are all taking advantage of this wave to move forward to the first position in the industry.

However, at this time, the ambitious Beizhou Comics Club got a thunderbolt from Xia Yan.

Xia Yan he.

I'm going to finish the initial text.

The initial D is coming to an end

It's over.

This Nima is like two armies facing each other, and suddenly his number one general said that he was going to go home to farm, and he would not be a soldier

It's a yarn play.

In the Beizhou Comics Club, Xia Yan's comic editors and a bunch of middle and senior executives of the company met to come to Xia Yan's house this morning.

"So, Teacher Xia Yan, you have to think about it more!"

Xia Yan's responsible editor spoke bitterly, and several senior executives of the Beizhou Comics Club next to him also admonished him.

From their point of view, a volume with an average sales of 2200000 copies, and the results are still rising, in less than a month, it will be the top of the Dragon Kingdom's current serialized comic book volume sales first, and the top five works in history

You're going to finish it?

Are you at odds with money, or fame?

Hundreds of millions of dollars a year are not in your eyes?

Or is it that they have come to the top five comic book sales results in history, just such a salted fish, and don't want to hit the top three or the first?

Although it is not the golden age of the two-dimensional industry, the number of teenagers is at least two percent less than twenty years ago, the general environment is not so good, and it is a little difficult to hit the highest sales data of a single book in history, but it is not without a chance!

Mo Ran next to her also looked at Xia Yan with curious eyes, but she knew her position very well, although she and Xia Yan were in a cooperative relationship, and the cooperation had always been pleasant, but the premise was that she did not interfere with Xia Yan's creation.

Xia Yan earns hundreds of millions a year with the headline D, and she can also be divided into tens of millions, and the gimmick of her combination with Xia Yan's strongest beautiful boy and girl cartoonist in the Dragon Kingdom is also an excellent publicity element, and the work of the headline D can be said to be the label printed on her Mo Ran now.

But even so, when Xia Yan proposed to end the initial D, she was silent for only a minute before supporting Xia Yan's decision.

She draws comics very well, but the creation of the plot is a piece of defense, if even Xia Yan thinks that this comic is over, she will naturally not make any mentally retarded suggestions.

For example, the words of the editor in charge and several high-level members of the comic club, what is the initial D post-world view expansion direction.

Let Tu Hai dominate in the island country and then dominate Asia in the worldview, rush out of Asia, go to the world stage, and compete with the racing powerhouses of other continents in the worldview.

No matter how you say it, it can be serialized for another seven or eight years.

Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan's face and already sensed his impatience.

"So Mr. Yang, what's the point of that?" Xia Yan interrupted the editor's words with a smile.

"I will not do this kind of thing to empty out all the value of a work, dig out not a single drop, and let the audience consume all the expectations and feelings of this work."

Natsu's tone was soft, but the emotion in his words was firm.

In the parallel world, in the work of the initial D, how many fanatical fans abandoned the pit after seeing the protagonist join Ryosuke Takahashi's team?

There is a big plot in the back of the comics, and the animation also depicts a lot of later plots, but compared to the early plot, the later plot, there are far fewer people willing to watch it.

Xia Yan forcibly serialized the later plot, which only lowered the historical evaluation of this work in the Dragon Kingdom.

Initial D is indeed very profitable, yes, but Xia Yan can not only take out this work, there are other works that are no less than initial D.

Why do you want to smash this work?

"I'm just finishing the initial D, not my career as a cartoonist. The initial D is over.,I'll continue to serialize new works.。 Xia Yan said.

New?

The visiting Beizhou Comics Club looked at each other at a high level.

Just like in the parallel world, after Kishimoto finished the Hokage, Kubo finished the Grim Reaper, and he didn't make any popular manga.

This kind of case is also true in the Dragon Kingdom manga world.

Of course, we believe that you have the ability to create a new comic, but we don't think that your new work can catch up with the results of the initial D.

The probability is too low.

A few people were still frantically admonishing, but Xia Yan was impatient.

"As the author of the initial D, I have the right to finish my work." Xia Yan's tone sank.

"Or have I lost this right before I knew it?"

The other party immediately shut up, for fear of angering Xia Yan.

After all, Xia Yan did not sign a long-term contract with Beizhou.

"I've made up my mind, and I don't need to persuade anymore. I can't make a comic that's more interesting than what I used to do, so I'll just let it finish at the peak of my performance. If Beizhou Comics Club has an opinion on this, it will make it impossible for us to cooperate in the future."

"No, no, how could it be!" Several people on the other side hurriedly said.

"We are just here to discuss with you, Teacher Xia Yan, and we are definitely not here to put pressure on you."

Xia Yan was not verbose when he saw that his attitude had been accurately conveyed, and after expressing the meaning of sending off the guests, several people could only return in vain.

After walking out of Xia Yan's villa, several people looked at each other.

"Is this the arrogance of the first manga genius of the Dragon Kingdom? Determined to finish the initial D? ”

"What's the matter, he's still young, he doesn't know what a comic with this kind of achievement represents, and if he gives up at this time, he will definitely regret it in ten years."

"Come on, people don't live on just one comic, it's our comic club that needs this comic to achieve a leap in influence. Alas, I can only go back and report to the company truthfully. ”

"Young and vigorous! But, so envious of him. Creating such a work at the best age, and having the ability to finish it at the peak of the work's popularity. I'm him, and I'm definitely reluctant to make a ready-made income of hundreds of millions a year to bet on new comics. ”

A few people sighed and left in frustration.

Mo Ran hesitated in the hall of the villa and spoke for the first time.

"Xia Yan, if the initial D ends like this, you. Don't you really feel sorry? ”

"No, it won't." Xia Yan was patient with Mo Ran.

After all, she has been working with her for more than a year, and she is very comfortable in Xia Yan's busy situation, she is responsible for the whole process of the initial D various activities abroad, book signings, press conferences, and running planes everywhere to contact and meet fans from all over the world.

The initial D has this kind of achievement, and it has a lot to do with her efforts as a comic writer.

"It's enough for a work to end in the right place, but when it comes to considering its commercial value, it's better to put the cart before the horse. Besides." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"What's the shame that I'm done with the initial D so that I can make time for a better work?"

"Time is finite, why waste limited time on a work?"

"However, human creativity is also limited!" Mo Ran's clear pupils looked at Xia Yan and retorted.

"You trust me." At this time, Xia Yan paused and smiled, and then pointed to his head.

"I can create something in this way that is far greater than the length of my life. I've worked hard 24 hours a day without sleeping, and I'm not going to run out of inspiration, and if you look back at it twenty years from now, you'll know what a waste it would be if I really spent 10, 20 years of my life on a single work."

Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan's handsome face, and her mind shook violently at this moment.

When others said this, she only felt that she was really blindly bragging, but Xia Yan said this.

It's kind of handsome and convincing to her.

"Forget it, I'm on the same front with you anyway. If you want to finish the initial D, give me the comic storyboard of the initial D ending as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will push off all the activities and show all my manga skills to draw the best quality manga. Mo Ran felt her heart beat a little faster.

After approving Xia Yan's decision from the bottom of her heart, she was also apprehensive and excited in her heart.

Xia Yan finished the epoch-making work of the first text D at this time, that is, this work has lost the opportunity to finish.

That's not a bad thing.

Initial D, if it ends now, there is no doubt that people in ten or twenty years will evaluate this work with two words.

God's work!

Short and medium stories are masterpieces, and this kind of truth is also true in the Dragon Kingdom comic industry.

"That's natural, but when the time comes, when the initial D ends the comic storyboard for you, I'll also give you the storyboard of the first episode of the new comic. I'm going to have to trouble you then. Xia Yan said with a smile.

"You already have an idea for a new work?" Mo Ran blurted out and asked.

"Of course, we are now so famous in the Dragon Kingdom comic industry, of course, we have to strike while the iron is hot to make our influence go to the next level, and it is impossible to take a break for a few years." Xia Yan said.

"And, don't look at the fact that I didn't talk to them very gently before, but I'm not the kind of person who has no conscience, Beizhou helped me gain a firm foothold in the comic industry, and I won't be so willful, although I will definitely finish the initial D, and I will give them a better work."

I went to watch BLG play JDG again, and it was another day of staying up late, and there was another chapter behind
