My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 140 The first stage, the end
After the release of the new book "Penalty" and "Y's", the total sales of the two comics rose alternately, and soon climbed to the sixth and seventh place in the rookie list.
Just as everyone thought it would be two comics, in the final ranking before July, "New World" announced the hosting of the "Y's" fan contest, and then "Y's" was pushed into the eyes of everyone.
Some readers who usually only watch 18X fans see that their favorite big hands have participated in the "Y's" contest, and they only noticed "Y's".Some game enthusiasts also learned about the existence of "Y's" from the game website.
However, a series of operations did not greatly increase the sales of "Y's", and the weekly sales only increased between 50,000 and 100,000.
Shen Xin was also anxious at first. The magazine agency spent so much money. If the effect is minimal, then future publicity will be affected.
Of course, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to know the reason. In the final analysis, the single issue of "Y's" reached the bottleneck.Readers who want to buy "Y's" have already bought it, and readers who do not want to buy will not consider "Y's".
This is like an online novel. If a website gives a novel several recommendation positions in a row, the increase in collection is likely to decrease, for the same reason.
What's more, the fan contest has not officially started yet. Advertisement can only attract everyone's attention, but it can't make them willing to take out real money and buy a single book.
At the same time, another news brought by Yan Fei made him a little relieved.
Although the sales of "Y's" stand-alone books have not increased on a large scale, after having struggled, the sales exceeded the "Penalty" and ranked sixth. At the same time, the gap with the fifth place was also within 50,000 copies. The first five are only a matter of time.
The biggest role of the fan competition is to drive the sales of "New World". The latest issue has reached 900,000 copies, which is the peak of magazine sales in recent years.
"Y's" has also attracted the attention of new readers. In the new questionnaire, "Y's" has 50 more votes than before, reaching an exaggerated 672.The eight big players who are about to participate in the fan contest are even more beautiful words about "Y's", which attracted everyone's curiosity about the comics.
This report was not only published in "New World", but also appeared on the homepage of Manjia.com.
Some readers who are hesitant about "Y's", after seeing this article, are again entangled in whether they should buy several "Y's".
So far, if there are no accidents, Shen Xin’s lowest goal has been achieved-entering the top ten of the rookie list, and the sales of the comics ranked first are only 300,000 copies, which is not an unattainable digital.
After Zhou Yang painted the name of the fan in "Y's", he said goodbye to the others in the studio. At the same time, he also started the creation of "Ghost Trend".
The whole studio was immediately busy, and Shen Xin also had to spend more energy to draw line drafts and backgrounds. Gao Hang and Lu Ning also started their work after the work.
Only if you win the championship in the fan competition, there will be a reward of 50,000 yuan. Evenly divided, it will be a little more than 10,000 per person, even less than the "Y's" single book reward.
The goal of the three people is not just money, but more importantly, experience and proof.
As the lead writer of the fan, Lu Ning has the largest workload, and the biggest difficulty she faces is the use of the G pen.
In her previous creations, she used round pens.
The round pen and the G pen are both dip pens, but the two are quite different in nature.The two sides of the ink storage hole of the G pen are hollowed out, so the nib of the nib is very flexible. If you don’t pay attention, the nib will diverge like the two sides. Sometimes you need to move the paper to draw the desired effect. .
The tip of the round pen is thinner,
"Or do you choose a round pen?" Shen Xin suggested.
Compared with other pens dipped in water, the use of the G pen is indeed more difficult.
"No. I want to be a young cartoonist, so the G pen must be used." Lu Ning bit her lip and looked stubborn.
Shen Xin thought about it and thought that Lu Ning was right. This opportunity was only an attempt at best.
If you have a little difficulty, you want to back down, and Lu Ning will not be able to do much in the future.
Shen Xin wanted to instruct Lu Ning when necessary, but the new fan of "Hunting Abyss" instantly made the studio nervous.
On June 22, the third volume of "Hunting Abyss" was released, with a daily sales volume exceeding 120,000 volumes and a weekly sales volume exceeding 600,000 volumes, which subsequently led to the sales of volume 1 and volume 2.
In the middle of the night on June 30, the final sales of "Abyss of Hunting" reached 1.8 million copies, only 200,000 copies less than "Y's", and 180,000 copies less than "Punishment", ranking "Punishment" After that, it ranked eighth.
"Hoo... scared me to death."
Jian Xiaomei saw Manjia.com updated the latest rankings and pages, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Hexu's mind was not on the ranking at all. He watched the animation again and then returned his energy to the original manuscript.
Jian Xiaomei came angrily to Ye Hexu's side, took off his headphones, and shouted at him: "Can't you be nervous?"
"Ah? nervous? What nervous?" Ye Hex looked at Jian Xiaomei puzzledly.
"Ranking... You were almost eliminated, do you know?" Jian Xiaomei said angrily.
"Oh, you said this." Ye Hex put down the G pen and yawned. "Even if I get nervous, can I change the result?"
"Eh?" Jian Xiaomei slightly flustered, and then hesitantly said, "Should...can't I?"
"That's right, if I can't, why should I be nervous? Rest assured, I want to win the "Rookie Award", it is impossible to fall in such a place. Moreover, there is a new blessing, and in the next three months, "Hunting "Abyss" will win the first place." Ye Hexu smiled.
""Punishment" can not be underestimated, it is also broadcast in July, August, and September. Although it is only the Q version of instant noodles, it can play two episodes a week, and the frequency is higher than that of "Hunting Abyss." Jian Xiaomei Speculated.
"I guess...the sales volume will not increase much until the fourth volume of "Crime" is released," Ye Hexu speculated.
"why?"
"The increase in the subsequent sales of "Penalty" has slowed down significantly, gradually being pulled away by "Y's."
"That's because "Y's" promoted the fan competition."
"However, "Finance" has been surpassed before the fan game has officially started," Ye Hexu reminded.
"Also. Why did this happen?" Jian Xiaomei puzzled.
"I guess... it may be that readers of "Crime" have been diluted, and some readers have chosen novels."
Jian Xiaomei immediately understood.
Among the readers of "Penalty", a part of Su Han's fans had originally come from. After the publication of the novel of "Penalty", this group of readers will choose the novel and cause the readers to diverge.
"Of course, these are just my guesses. But one thing is for sure, starting tomorrow, every list of the comic festival will become very interesting." Ye Hexu smiled lightly, his eyes full of anticipation.
