Chapter 299: Goal
Two days later, the sales of the first volume of the full-time hunter manga book were counted.
First week
6,720,000 copies.
Of course, before this data was released, the entire comic book industry agreed that the first volume of the Hunter would sell more than five million in the first week.
Everyone is not blind, and you can find out how many people are queuing up outside the surrounding bookstores to buy single books.
But the sales volume in the first week reached 6 million, or even 6.7 million, and many people in the entire industry were still confused.
The first week of sales is not the final sales, normally three times the first week sales of a work, which is probably the final sales within a year or two after the release of the work.
And works like the popular comics, light these works, because of the strong purchase stamina of fans, their final sales will be close to, or even more than four times the sales of the first week.
What the hell is Hunter selling 6.7 million copies in the first week?
This is the actual popularity of Xia Yan's work?
The four major comic clubs of the Dragon Country, Snow Wind, Squirrel, Beizhou and the reverse star at the bottom, in addition to the Beizhou Comics Club, the other three pure ones don't know what to do.
Since Xia Yan joined Beizhou, in two years, the sales of the comic journal "Beizhou" have increased from about 13 million to 3 to 4 million copies.
Now, it is even more in the white-hot stage of the struggle for the first comic journal in the Dragon Country with the "Snow Wind" comic journal.
In the past two months and nine weeks, the number of weekly sales of Beizhou periodicals has been five times, and Xuefeng has been four times.
The snow wind itself dominates the downwind.
And the first-week sales of the first volume of the full-time hunter of 6.7 million copies, needless to say, is it possible that the Beizhou Comics Club will let go of this publicity opportunity?
This is the record of the first week of sales in the first week of release of the first volume of the single book among all the comic works created by the Dragon Kingdom in the past 18 years!
As for those records from eighteen years ago, let's not talk about it, the times are different, there were tens of millions of teenagers at that time than now, so the sales records of the Dragon Kingdom comic industry are basically occupied by ancient works.
But now, everyone in the entire Dragon Kingdom comic industry can feel that Xia Yan is killing gods!
In the comics,In this era when the size of the animation group is gradually decreasing with the aging of society,But step by step, it is challenging the record set by those popular masters in the two-dimensional history of the Dragon Kingdom.。
Magic Circle, a cyberpunk edgerunner, is already one of the top two animated works in the history of the Dragon Kingdom.
Sword Art Online Because of the plot serialized last month, the protagonist pressed the villain of the ALO chapter Xu Xiang to the ground with a wave of sharp and refreshing rubbing.
Not only is Xu Xiang divided into corpses and ravaged in the game ALO, but in reality, Xia Yan is not like in the parallel world animation, where the pig protagonist Li Tongren was backstabbed by Xu Xiang in the process of running to find Asuna, and was almost killed by a sneak attack.
Is this the main character?
The protagonist of Sword Art Online, in the real world, was almost attacked by a scum like Xu Xiang, and was stabbed?
This plot is not cool to write, so Xia Yan changed it directly, Xu Xiang's sneak attack with a knife has not changed, but he sneaked up on the protagonist, the protagonist Li Tongren counterattacked out of self-defense, and it was not too much to beat him to a half-crippled without injury, right?
With the blessing of this wave of refreshing plots, Sword Art Online fans are also very good at selling single books after watching it.
Many people went directly to the bookstore to buy a single book as a complete set to give it away, which also made the average single book sales of Sword Art Online volume exceed 24 million copies, reaching the fifth place in the history of sales.
Further back, it will be a heavyweight in the history of the dragon country's light industry.
It's all a product of the two-dimensional golden age of the Dragon Kingdom thirteen years ago, the period with the largest number of teenagers.
Sword Art Online is clearly moving forward.
The work that ranks first in the average sales volume of the dragon country light industry is the "Tiandao War" created by Zhou Lin, a god-level light author nineteen years ago, with a total of nineteen volumes and an average sales of 27.3 million copies.
In the field of comics, the work with the highest average sales volume is the phenomenal comic "Dragon Magician" of the Dragon Kingdom 23 years ago, with a total of 24 volumes of comics and an average sales of 26.1 million copies.
And judging from the current situation, whether it is the hunter who sold more than 6.7 million copies in the first week of the first volume of the single book, or the Sword Art Online, which has already sold an average of 24 million copies.
Both of them have the opportunity to challenge themselves as the first historical works in their respective fields.
Because their creator is Xia Yan
The Xia Yan who created the initial D, the magic circle, and the edge walker.
In today's two-dimensional industry, because the number of readers is not as good as before, it is too difficult to break the record set by previous works.
But Xia Yan is different, he, comics, animation are the top in the industry, he can easily mobilize his fans in the three fields to convert to each other, to a certain extent, to make up for the limitations of the times.
Xia Yan's traffic, the fan base is there, and it can definitely support the two works.
The difference is only in .
The plot of the hunter exam in this work, as well as the plot of the Sword Art Online GGO chapter
Can fans buy it and take out real money from their purses to support the single book of Xia Yan's works.
Whole, in the manga industry, after the sales data of Full-Time Hunter and Sword Art Online came out this week, everyone had only one thought left for Xia Yan.
Can he do it?
Climb to the top of history, successfully kill the gods of the two gods of "Dragon Magic" and "Tiandao War", pull them down from the throne of the first in history, and then enthrone yourself as a new god!
Now in the two-dimensional industry of the Dragon Kingdom, except for those companies that have direct competitive interests with Xia Yan, most people will not be jealous of Xia Yan's achievements now.
Who would be jealous of such a genius?
Just like in a parallel world, will ordinary people be jealous of Messi, Ronaldo, and James?
The gap is too big, and everyone is basically looking at Xia Yan's achievements in the Dragon Kingdom with a longing mentality.
Looking at this boy who has not yet graduated from college, how step by step, is now climbing the ladder of ascending to the gods in the Dragon Kingdom and the field of comics.
Beizhou Comics Club and Liuli Book Society are now direct collaborators of Xia Yan, and the two companies are even more active in this matter.
Directly connected with Xia Yan, the person in charge of the company asked Xia Yan for all kinds of cold and warmth, and was extremely concerned about Xia Yan's creative status, and even bluntly said that if Xia Yan had doubts about the development of the follow-up plot of the work, he could temporarily stop the update for a week or two.
Because whether it is a full-time hunter or a Sword Art Online, if you are ready to attack the first throne in the history of the Dragon Kingdom, relying on the influence of their two publishing houses will hardly help.
You can only stand a chance by relying on the quality of the plot of the work.
Another few days passed.
The third episode of the rebellious Lelouch airs.
In this episode, the reason why Lelouch hates the Bunitanian Empire is finally explained a little.
When his mother was assassinated when he was a child, his father, who became the emperor, ignored him, and even took him and his sister Nanali hostage and sent them to the imperial island country as proof of the alliance between the two countries.
Then he completely ignored the life and death of Lelouch and Nanali, and attacked the island country in an all-out way while the two were still hostages in the island country.
This operates.
Who is it who does not chill?
It can only be said that Lelouch's father completely treated him and Nanali as garbage, and threw them away when they were used up.
And then
In the third episode, after Lelouch infiltrates the location of his half-brother, the third prince Clovis, he uses his ability to command others to find out that the people who killed his mother were the prince Hunesel and the princess Cornelia
shot directly and killed his half-brother with one shot.
After all, they are the ones who use themselves and their sister Nanali as political tools and abandon them when they run out.
Then there is the third episode of the plot, which returns to Lelouch's campus daily life from the tense and exciting battlefield plot.
The important female supporting actress Xia Li, as well as her classmate who has been suspended from school due to illness all the year round, the red-haired girl Kalian, in that rebel organization, can skillfully control huge robots, and in Lelouch's plan to kill his brother, she has become the most elite and powerful pawn under Lelouch's command.
The entire third episode of the animated plot is basically a foreshadowing.
Kalian's suspicion of Lelouch's voice and identity, Lelouch sees the trick and dispels Kalian's suspicions about herself.
Then, at the end of the third episode, Lelouch's friend, the soldier Suzaku, was scapegoated by the soldiers of the Bunitanian Empire, who framed him as the murderer of the third prince Clovis.
Let Suzaku carry the things that Lelouch has done.
The ratings for the third episode of the rebellious Lelouch were released the next day.
5.17%
After three episodes of this anime, fans of the Dragon Kingdom animation finally understood what the word rebellion meant in the title of this work, "Lelouch the Rebellious".
"So, it's clear that the title of the work will be chosen like this, this work is a work about how Lelouch overthrew the rule of the Bunitanian Empire."
"Damn, this work of the old thief, the style change is so strong?"
"Madoka Magician,Pure fantasy animation,But the main thing is friendship.。 Marginal walkers, focusing on love. Now the rebellious Lelouch is directly fighting the power war? ”
"I really admire the old thief! What kind of head is he? Since his debut, has he had a work that is the kind of fried cold rice, a work of the same quality? From the journey of youth to the current Lelouch, he is really innovating in every work. ”
"But one thing to say, don't you think that's? A Bunitanian empire as powerful as in the story, why did the protagonist Lelouch overthrow it? Just like everyone can imagine, a country like the Dragon Kingdom will be subverted by anyone and everyone with their own strength? That's. ”
"This kind of thing, you have to look down to know it! Don't jump to conclusions now. ”
"That's it, doesn't the protagonist have the ability to manipulate other people's actions, relying on wisdom alone, then there will definitely be no way to accomplish this great feat, but with the help of wisdom and superpowers, it's not impossible to do this kind of thing, right?"
"Indeed, and watch the animation, don't get too entangled in these side effects. is like the Karen in the third episode, she happened to be a classmate of Lelouch, how could it be so coincidental in the real world? But animation, that's it, because around the protagonist, there will be these coincidences. So when the author artificially blesses some factors that are beneficial to the protagonist, such as luck and coincidence, as well as the dual operation of ability and wisdom, he subverts a country. It's not impossible. ”
"Come on, don't go into this kind of boring question, why do you care so much? Anyway, if you think Lu Luxiu is good-looking, just keep watching, and don't look at it if it's not good-looking. ”
"Anyway, I want to ask now, will the green-haired girl who appeared in the first episode still appear? She died like that? Died inexplicably. ”
"I don't know, but I think I'm dead, and then pass on the ability to the protagonist Lelouch before I die?"
"Okay."
"However, Lelouch's animation is still an improvement compared to the old thief's previous animation. Although there are also fans who complain about the logic of the plot, there are really few people who feel bored after watching it and give bad reviews. Compared with the first three episodes of the magic circle, everyone unanimously felt that the plot was slow and procrastinated, and the public opinion that this animation must hit the street is much better. ”
"Yes, although I recall afterwards that Lelouch was too simple to infiltrate the residence of the Third Prince, and that he was too cold to kill his brother like this. But I have to say that when I watch this animation, the kind of experience and senses, and the rise of emotions can't be controlled, anyway, it's pretty cool to watch. ”
"Haha, it's mainly the airwaves. Although Lelouch has a lot of good movements and manners, he is quite secondary, but watching animation, isn't that what he watches? Animation fans who don't have a period of secondary two? It's normal to feel a little embarrassed, but on the other hand, this is also the excellence of this work, because Lelouch's second middle school reminds everyone of his second secondary school boyhood. ”
"If you say that, that's true."
"It dawned on me. I said why I looked at Lelouch's inexplicable poss and strange postures, and I felt embarrassed in my heart, but I couldn't help but look at it, and when I recalled, I did have a similar move back then, haha. ”
"But it's the third episode of this animation.,Lelouch's background and goals were revealed.,You say,How long does this animation have to be portrayed? With Lelouch now poor and white, no money, no one and no technology, to overthrow the Bunitanian Empire from scratch, this feels impossible without seventy or eighty episodes, right? ”
"So, the rumored Lelouch work in the animation industry is correct?"
"Who knows? But judging from Lelouch's current plot, it's definitely not a quarterly animation. If the old thief can clearly portray the plot of Lelouch overthrowing Bunitania in a quarter and more than a dozen episodes, then I will kneel down for him directly. ”
For a whole day, the entire animation world began to spread on a large scale after the third episode of Lelouch aired.
Dozens of other animations that started broadcasting in the same quarter are almost, and you can't see that none of them are about them when you look at dozens of posts.
In terms of the topic dominance of animation this quarter, Lelouch, who has only been on the air for three episodes, is already undoubtedly at the level of super-popular hegemonic animation.
The ratings are only a reflection of the popularity of the work, and after the broadcast of the work, the heat and number of fans discussing the topic of the work are the most important.
Looking at it now, the entire Dragon Kingdom animation industry fans are unanimously praised for Lelouch's performance in the first three episodes.
After all, the story of the prince's revenge is quite novel in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.
The second in the work is the second in the middle, but it looks cool enough.
Xia Yan took his eyes off the comments of fans on the online forum, and then looked at the manuscript of the development plan for Lelouch's work in all directions on the table.
Lelouch's animation, the production and development of peripheral products, as well as some copyright authorizations or something, are all carried out simultaneously in the process of animation broadcasting.
However, things like animation, comics, etc., also have to be put on the agenda.
Moreover, Lelouch's work itself is in a parallel world, and there are several theatrical versions that have to start construction at this time, ready to wait until the end of Lelouch's animation to be released simultaneously.
Although these works are basically garbage stuff that makes money, what should be produced is still to be produced, after all, in the theatrical version, there are a lot of content that supplements the world view of the original work, and it is impossible to completely abandon these things.
Great, Xia Yan streamlined the content of these plot versions, and the price was a little lower when it went on sale.
Moreover, many online game companies in Dragon Country are still in contact with Xia Yan, such as wanting to add some characters such as Lelouch, Edge Walker, and Moyuan to their own games.
Xia Yan himself is not interested in adapting these works into online games and mobile games, which may make money, but it is more likely to ruin his reputation.
But with some successful, mature popular games to engage in some joint activities Xia Yan did not refuse, fans are willing, cooperative companies are willing, he has money to take, win-win results.
In April, more than halfway through it, after the first three episodes of Lelouch's work, under the influence of Xia Yan's popularity and the quality of the work itself, it stabilized at around 5% of the ratings.
But
Lelouch's animation is the kind of animation that gets better and better the more you watch it.
In the early stage, because the plot wants to expand the world view, the plot is more restrained, and the excitement is not enough.
But after this.
It's different.
After all, in the first three episodes of this animation, another soul character in this work, the heroine CC didn't even reveal her name, and the plot didn't enter the main line at all.
Xia Yan put the document in his hand after reading it.
Now, there is only time left for this work to accumulate popularity.
Although in Xia Yan's heart, Lelouch and Moyuan are the same level of animation, but he really doesn't want the animation industry to evaluate him as the peak of his debut in the future.
It doesn't always feel right.
Anyway, the record set by Moyuan the year before last, he had to find a way to break it himself.
