Chapter 42: Horrific Sales
No one could have imagined that in addition to the manga, Mobile Suit Gundam would become popular, and his crossover gunpla would also become popular, and it was a big hit.
It's better to say that anyone who loves this comic will have a special obsession with this thing.
That's to find a way to get it!
Although the price will dissuade a lot of ideas, there are still people who are willing to pay this money to satisfy their spiritual food.
Because for them, liking has nothing to do with money.
Of course.
This is a pretentious statement.
In fact, it's still thick in your pocket, and you don't take a few hundred dollars seriously.
In just one week.
Lin Hao's online store sales exceeded 30,000 units, and even he didn't expect it to be so popular.
The four newly-recruited girls were almost persuaded to quit at the beginning, but fortunately he participated in time to save the scene, and the taste of the explosive order is really love-hate-hate.
From morning to night, the studio was completely covered by the sound of crackling keyboards, and there was no time to rest.
Boss.
Naturally, he leads by example.
But thinking that every penny he earned would eventually go into his pocket, he could only continue to draw pies for a few girls.
Stabilize the morale of the military.
It's all right.
Just when Lin Hao was making a fortune in a muffled voice, the careful media was also helping him calculate the accounts.
In the officially authorized online store, the cheapest model of each Gundam is more than 200 yuan, and the expensive one is directly 400 yuan.
On average, it is about 300 yuan.
So how much is 30,000 units?
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.
That's close to 10 million?
Many people were shocked when they thought of this.
Be clear, no matter how popular the comics are, no matter how good they sell, hundreds of thousands will die.
This is still a bold guess.
Take this Mobile Suit Gundam manga as an example, it has sold about 400,000 copies so far, which is already the ceiling level.
Can the extendable peripheral model be sold for nearly 10 million?
Does that mean it's more lucrative than comics?
It's scary to think about.
Not only the media is aware of this, but the major comic companies are also a little collectively confused when they see this, and they never expected that the Dream Weaver would have this hand.
Earn money by assembling models around the periphery.
This is the first time in the history of comics.
Shock is shock, but in the face of this kind of profit, no one can sit still, even if the major internal editors are called to a meeting.
There is only one goal, and that is to have a Mobile Suit Gundam in hand, read it a few times, and then ask the authors under him to imitate it.
What?
The author doesn't do it?
Then change a group of authors, don't you want to earn money if you have money?
That's the kind of subject matter, isn't he Mobile Suit Gundam, so why not change another name and make up a similar story?
In short, take advantage of the heat and draw it quickly.
The reason why they are in a hurry is mainly because of the popularity of the surrounding area.
As long as the manga is published, then everyone can follow suit, you have your Gundam, I have my Gundam, see who is very popular.
Who made the wind change so fast?
In the past, comics were comics.,What's the periphery.,It's up to the sky to make a few small figures.,And no one pays attention to this line.。
What do you really compare?
In fact, it is a sales data of major comic stores.
But what is the situation now?
A peripheral assembled model Gundam can bring tens of millions of sales, and I'm sorry for this market if I don't participate.
In the face of the shameless behavior of major comic companies, Zhao Jing condemned and scolded them in front of Lin Hao more than once.
But it didn't work.
It can only be relieved by mouth.
And Lin Hao has nothing to say.
People are imitating, not infringing, it's a normal phenomenon, maybe they can really make some money, and this situation can't be stopped at all.
If you eat meat yourself, you can't stop others from drinking soup, right?
It's true to empty the pockets of manga fans and earn as much as possible now.
See his indifference.
Zhao Jing only felt speechless.
And what makes her feel even more ridiculous is that during this period, there are even some companies that want to pay a high price to poach her assistant.
After all, the author can't be contacted, so he can only contact her first.
The price is not low.
It came with sincerity.
It's just that Zhao Jing didn't have this idea at all.
In the past, she may have been overly enthusiastic about money, but now her mentality has quietly changed.
Even if the money Lin Hao earned made her blush more than once, she knew in her heart that these things had nothing to do with her.
From the theme of the comics to the development process of the story, all she can do is to help draw a picture, and the role is dispensable.
Now she still wants to be a good assistant by Lin Hao's side and learn the other party's thinking mode.
I have been in the comic industry for many years and I am just a street, but the other party is a god with a comic, and painting is just a beginner.
I guess no one will believe it.
Zhao Jing feels that what she lacks is inspiration, and this kind of inspiration may be able to teach her something.
For her, these things are far more important than money.
Lin Hao didn't know that he had been remembered.
Having earned a lot of money this time, he feels that the world has become a lot warmer, and even his mood is much more comfortable.
There is enough money in the pocket.
I can get hard when I walk.
Before he could feel it, Du Fei, who hadn't been in touch for a long time, called and said that he wanted to invite him to dinner.
After being busy for so long, Lin Hao almost forgot about this person.
There is some guilt in my heart, and I can only go to the appointment alone.
When I came to the place that said good, it was a hot pot restaurant.
From afar, he saw Du Fei waving to him at the door, accompanied by Yang Xiaolin.
Lin Hao nodded and walked over.
After the three of them entered the store, Du Fei specially asked the boss for a private room, saying that it was noisy outside.
After sitting down, he smiled at the two of them and said, "I usually come to this shop often, and it tastes good, you two can eat spicy, right?" ”
"I can do it all." Yang Xiaolin has nothing to choose from.
One is the boss of Tengfei Entertainment, and the other is a composer who writes songs for himself.
These two people, he can't afford to offend either of them, even if he eats steamed buns, he has to be accompanied by a smile.
"I like it."
Lin Hao actually doesn't eat spicy food, but he loves it very much, and he likes the taste of sweating, which is just a special paper towel.
"Haha, that's fine, you two will have a good taste."
As he spoke, Du Fei personally went outside and brought in a few bottles of chilled orange juice.
He knew that Lin Hao didn't like to drink alcohol on weekdays, so he used this to relieve spicy.
"Thank you."
It's quite rare to drink drinks at dinner, but Lin Hao doesn't feel embarrassed.
How about drinking, and what about drinking.
It's just according to the mood, how can there be so many rules.
After watching Du Fei busy, Yang Xiaolin smacked his tongue while watching and secretly scolded himself for not being careful.
This kind of thing should be right for him, he is almost a dog at his age, and he really came here to cook.
When the food was served, Yang Xiaolin never let the two of them do it again, whether it was meat or food, he was staring at it all the time.
I'm afraid that something will slip through.
And Du Fei and Lin Hao were just chatting during the period.
Ask each other what you've been up to lately.
Then Du Fei made a few cold jokes during the period, warming up the scene from time to time, and the two talked and laughed.
Yang Xiaolin gave a thumbs up as he listened.
He is a stupid person, and he usually doesn't know what to say when he sees people, and then look at the boss, one by one, and he is much more enthusiastic.
The dishes have gone through three rounds, and the drinks have gone through five flavors.
Du Fei changed the topic and began to talk about Yang Xiaolin's recent situation.
The album is selling well, with nearly 800,000 downloads at present, and the momentum is quite good, and it is still rising.
It's just that as a singer, there are fewer announcements, after all, I'm older, and it's a bit difficult to pick up all aspects of the event, and the traffic is not enough.
Yang Xiaolin nodded when he listened.
In fact, according to the division of the song, he didn't make a lot of money on this song, which was not enough to support his wife and children.
Most of his income actually comes from circulars, but his salary has plummeted recently as circulars have become less and less.
Although the company has assigned a broker, he is only a newcomer and has no resources.
"Haven't you had any movie theme songs lately?" After listening to Du Fei, Lin Hao wiped his sweat with a tissue and suddenly asked.
"Very little, basically people's commissions are set, and the prices of these companies are too low, and I refuse."
Du Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said very arrogantly.
He still understands Lin Hao's character better, and what he values more than writing movie songs is the price, and don't even think about it if the price is low.
Lin Hao nodded, didn't say anything, and continued to bury his head in cooking.
Du Fei didn't mention it when he saw him, and he didn't ask too many questions.
After finishing the meal, Lin Hao picked up Fang Cai's words and said, "In the near future, I will write a song for him first, and I will prepare an album when I am done." ”
He finished his sentence.
Du Fei and Yang Xiaolin were both taken aback.
The former was surprised that Lin Hao did not plan to release a single, but released an album directly.
You know, an album is not so easy to prepare, and it has to be at least ten songs, which is still the lowest standard in the outside world.
Even for singers of large companies, the album needs the support of multiple composers, and the premise is that the company is willing to contribute this resource.
Therefore, those who can release albums are basically heavyweight singers from major companies, and many of them are known as kings and queens.
As for him, there are still eight songs left in "Guest" and "Decent".
On the premise of this form, you still have to write a song for Yang Xiaolin in advance?
That's nine songs?
Do it all on your own?
Question: This is also terrifying, isn't it?
And the latter was surprised that he thought that this topic had passed, and he had no hope at all, but he didn't expect such a turn to come suddenly.
What did the other party just say?
Do you want to continue writing songs for him?
Yang Xiaolin's hands, which were originally holding the flesh, began to tremble.
It's so exciting.
