Chapter 40: Indiscriminate Crushing
the groove.
Manga can be a treasure at any time.
Tan Zhifei was dumbfounded when he heard this.
And you have to rely on a relationship to buy a comic?
That's awesome, isn't it?
Leaned sideways to see Tang Hongzhou's reaction.
He found that the hand of the editor-in-chief holding the comic was already trembling slightly, and the shock was no less than his own.
"Let's go, go back first."
After a while, Tang Hongzhou said in a deep voice.
The two of them took two comics casually and went to the front desk to check out, and hurried back to the editorial office after they were done.
As it stands, they can't really do anything.
You can only wait for the follow-up news.
The best result is that the 37,000 copies just fill the market, even if the sales volume can spill slightly.
But both of them understand.
This is tantamount to a fool's dream.
In its current form, it's a fact that Mobile Suit Gundam is selling well, and it's a somewhat frightening trend.
Because it's sold so fast.
Fast unscientific...
And just three days later.
It seems to validate this idea.
The phone of Baihe's editorial department ushered in the second bombardment.
This time, the owners of the major comic stores were no longer satisfied with the purchase of a few thousand copies, and there was simply not enough to sell, so the opening was tens of thousands of copies.
It's a rare time for a comic shop to come across such a best-selling title.
If you don't earn more now, what are you waiting for?
It's just that the inventory of Baihe's editorial department has already bottomed out, and there is nothing to come up with.
After thinking about it, Tang Hongzhou could only send the cartoons printed by Zhao Jing to these people.
The other editors in the office didn't know about it, and thought it was a comic that they had printed at home, so they were celebrating the big sale of the comics.
Someone is even proposing where to go to celebrate in the evening, etc...
Contrary to the excitement of the crowd.
From the angle, Tan Zhifei was already a little distraught.
Because he knows it well.
The real big seller of Baihe editorial department is only 50,000 copies, and it has been capped at present.
As for the latter ones, they are printed.
In the end, the editorial department can only receive 10% of the channel fee given by the other party.
Then remove a part of it to the dealer.
There's not much left at all.
What a mistake.
It's a wrong step.
Read this.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look worriedly at the direction of Tang Hongzhou's office.
The editor-in-chief should be able to withstand it at this moment, right?
.....
Like Tan Zhifei, Fang Haocheng, the editor of Qingcheng Comics, is also worried.
Because offline statistics take time, the sales report on the day of the comic was sent a few days later.
There is no rush on his side.
When I got my hands on it, I looked at it first.
In my heart, I can say that I am full of confidence.
Because Qingcheng Comics' comic works launched in recent months have received a good response, sales are on the rise.
Just the first glance.
He was frightened by the first place.
Mobile Suit Gundam, first-day sales: 7,463 copies.
More than 7,000 copies?
Fang Haocheng rubbed his eyes, thinking that the data clerk had written a mistake, but after checking it a few times, he found that it was true.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but gasp.
There are very few comics that can exceed 5,000 copies on the first day, and this comic has sold more than 7,000 copies, is it a new hit?
He hurriedly looked at the other information.
.....
Baihe Editorial Department.
Author: Dream Weaver
Assistant: Zhao Jing
.....
See this.
Fang Haocheng's complexion changed greatly.
Suddenly stared at the second name.
It turned out to be her.
Zhao Jing of Baihe editorial department.
His heart sank, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, and he hurriedly rummaged through the results of the author Guo Yuan under his hand.
Soon.
And he found it.
The work sold only 247 copies in a single day.
This sales...
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and even his brain was a little down.
As a hot-selling writer of emotional comics, Guo Yuan sold only 247 copies that day?
Is this sure not a joke?
Fang Haocheng only felt a little dizzy in his brain, and he didn't know why it was at all.
How do you show this thing to the editor-in-chief?
I sat there for a moment.
He didn't seem to have a way out.
I could only suppress the fear in my heart and send it over in person.
"Editor-in-chief, the sales of the comic for the day are out." Entering the office, Fang Haocheng pulled his head deafly and said.
"Oh? Show it to me. ”
When Hou Kuangwen heard this, his face was overjoyed.
Qingcheng Comics has launched nearly ten authors' comic works this week, and it stands to reason that the results will not be too bad.
Fang Haocheng smiled bitterly and slowly handed it to the other party.
And Hou Kuangwen's face was gloomy when he saw the sales data.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
A few minutes later.
He slapped the data sheet on the table fiercely, as if this beat could wipe out the first place of more than 7,000 copies.
"The editorial department of Baihe released this comic this week, and let them take the first place?" He couldn't help but let the stat laugh angrily.
Anyone who changes his name, he can accept it.
"I didn't expect that either." Fang Haocheng lowered his head and said resignedly.
"Who is this dreamweaver? And this Zhao Jing, the one you mentioned to me before? Hou Kuangwen raised his head and asked loudly.
"The Dream Weaver seems to be a new author, and I didn't expect that Zhao Jing to become this person's assistant." Fang Haocheng explained in a low voice.
"Okay, I didn't expect this, right, then Guo Yuan's new work sold 247 copies, do you want to tell me?" Hou Kuangwen was completely furious.
It is not surprising that the editorial department of Baihe won the first place in the sales list with a new author.
Not to mention that this data is still vaguely about to explode.
But what does this Guo Yuan mean.
Can't even compare to a fraction of what other people do?
To know.
The other party is coming for her.
In vain, he still wanted to give the other party a seal to encourage him.
Now it seems that his own life is a joke.
"Don't be angry with the editor-in-chief, this time the responsibility lies with me." Fang Haocheng decided to take the blame, the matter has come to this point, no matter how much he explains, it will not help.
Seeing that the other party calmly admitted his mistake.
Hou Kuangwen is not good at pursuing again.
He looked down at the data report again, and his brows tightened for a moment.
Speaking of which, not only Guo Yuan's results are not good this time, but the sales of other authors have also decreased a lot.
It's even too bleak.
Is it because of this anime from Baihe's editorial department?
Hou Kuang couldn't figure it out for a while.
.....
In addition to the editorial department of Baihe and Qingcheng Comics, other animation companies have also been affected to a greater or lesser extent.
Mobile Suit Gundam's manga is so popular that it completely covers the center of the market, and there is no room for negotiation at all.
After selling more than 7,000 copies on the first day, it didn't stop there.
The first wave of stock in the major comic stores is gone, and most readers have not yet bought it, so that there has been a stock-out incident.
Fortunately, the follow-up supply is quite sufficient, which can be regarded as calming the tense situation.
Can...
Still not enough to sell.
Just a week.
Sales have reached around 80,000 copies.
80,000 copies in the first week.
This is already a record that has broken the sales of comics for several years.
The last record holder was 60,000 copies.
That's a full 20,000 copies short!
The entire industry was shocked.
And in the comic book circle.
Mobile Suit Gundam has also received a lot of praise.
.....
"Mobile Suit Gundam is by far the best manga I've ever seen, and I don't have one of them, so I highly recommend it."
"Kira, the God of my heart, disagrees."
"I'm sorry, but the hero in me has always been Aslan, no one knows how much pain he has suffered, the Z.A.F.T. army is the strongest."
"I thought Frey was the heroine, but she actually died in battle, but luckily Lux appeared behind me and saved my fragile heart."
"The Strike Gundam is really handsome, three forms, it's completely BUG, it's invincible."
"Storm Gundam is not bad, sniper god, my favorite."
.....
Whether online or offline, manga fans are buzzing about Mobile Suit Gundam.
The peak has been reached.
And there is also a part of the readers who always like to follow the trend.
Especially this kind of squall.
Don't look at it or not.
Must be part of a wave.
Otherwise, I always feel that I am not trendy enough.
As a result, Mobile Suit Gundam manga sales continue to climb.
As the author of the comics.
The three words Dream Weaver became an instant hit, and many comic fans regarded it as a god-like existence.
And his assistant Zhao Jing has also become a popular cartoonist.
"Just now, Tang Hongzhou, the editor-in-chief of Baihe's editorial department, personally called me and asked us if we wanted to continue printing, they can be responsible for communication and arrangement, and the time is very urgent." When Lin Hao came back from work, Zhao Jing on the sofa shook her phone and said to him.
"They didn't say they wanted to get involved?"
Lin Hao couldn't help but be curious, didn't he feel moved in the face of such a big profit.
It is estimated that the 200,000 copies printed by myself will not be sold out in a short time, and it stands to reason that the contract has been fulfilled.
For more than 250,000 copies, both sides can choose to print them continuously.
"No, it's just that if you have a plan to release a new comic, you will choose them first." Zhao Jing tilted her head and said.
"Then we'll print another 200,000 copies."
After thinking about it, Lin Hao spoke decisively.
Because he bought a car before, he didn't have much savings, and after spending 1.4 million, he had more than 1.1 million left.
But MSI Entertainment's milk tea advertisement here returned nearly 300,000, so he was still able to barely make up the second 1.4 million.
However, the editorial department of Baihe is quite good at giving favors.
knows that he can't take the bulk of the profits, but instead comes to please him, I have to say that he has a long-term vision.
"Okay, then I'll get back to him."
Hear him say that.
Zhao Jing was not surprised.
She also went to the surrounding comic shop to read it today.
Although there is still a surplus of the 200,000 copies that were previously printed, they do not cover all of them.
In addition, there is a difference in the number of purchases from dealers, so many stores still can't buy this comic.
If you don't run to a few comic shops, then you can't even think about it, and even some second-class dealers sell them at a higher price.
This is the most ordinary comic book, and it can be so popular.
Rao is Zhao Jing, who has been in the industry for many years, and she was shocked.
