My Cartoonist Strategy

The selection of the second stage of the Newcomer Award is different from the first stage, with more netizens voting.

Many newcomers feel that these recommendation tickets are not very useful compared to the comic book.

Real old authors, especially those who are striving to compete for the best long manga award of the year, are well aware of the usefulness of these recommendation tickets. Unless the new book is released, the sales of each comic book will not be able to make a qualitative leap.Therefore, the key to unraveling popularity is on these recommendation tickets.

There are few tens of millions of comic book fans in Huaxia. Only netizens registered on the comic book net have 6-7 million people.With the removal of some zombie users, inactive accounts, and trumpets, there are almost two million netizens who frequently log in to the site.All this means that for each single selection, there can be more than two million votes per day, which can be voted for comics participating in the comic festival.

Of course, even for active users, a large number of people find it troublesome and give up voting. Therefore, a single item can actually vote for more than 1 million tickets per day, which is equivalent to the sales of nearly 200,000 copies of a single book. .

Take the Newcomer Award as an example. Although the first few comics broadcast a new fan in the autumn, and sales can maintain a steady upward trend, the difference in popularity between them is obvious.

"Crime" just made instant noodles, but when the readers saw a group of fierce villains, they turned around and appeared on the screen in a lovely Q version, which surprised the reader.

This kind of contrast makes the popularity of "Y's" soar.Although the total sales of "Crime" increased by only 200,000 copies throughout July, its popularity has increased by 5 million, relying on netizens' daily votes.

"Y's" uses a fan competition, and the improvement of comics is not as direct as that of animation, but it is better than instant noodles. The entire July page sold 300,000 copies of the single book, and the popularity was higher than that of "Penalty", which increased by 800. The popularity of the people has firmly secured the fifth place in the rookie list.

The only exception is "Hunting Abyss".

Because this comic was rarely publicized before, many potential users have not been tapped.After the animation was broadcast, many animation parties found it very interesting. People who had not been in contact with comics before also started to purchase the "Abyss of Hunting".

Throughout July, "Hunting Abyss" sold 500,000 copies of the single-handed book, and the popularity increased by 11 million. In one fell swoop, it rushed to the fourth place, and the gap with the first place "Basketball Top" was only 200. Ten thousand people.

This makes readers of "Hunting Abyss" hooked.

From the first place to the sixth place, the popularity value is within four million.

It seems that the value is quite large, but in fact it is also the sales of 4 million recommended tickets or 400,000 copies.

Almost all readers have determined that the next volume of the stand-alone book will be released, and the entire ranking will change dramatically.

After the start of the fan competition, Shen Xin did not pay any attention to Manga.com and "New World". Even when the sales of "New World" exceeded one million, he did not care to post a Weibo to congratulate him.

He was very busy and often forgot to eat. After Xi Muhan knew it, he was quite resentful and tried to come to the studio several times, but was stopped by Yan Fei.

The first words of "Ghost Trend" were published in the second Star Journal in August. The questionnaire survey received 360 tickets, ranking second in all serialized comics, and the first one is still Shen Xin's "Y's", 665. Zhang.

"Don't be discouraged, you are not easy anymore. In the previous two or three months, the second place did not have a comic and more than 350 tickets." Xiao Li looked down at Zhou Yang, her head twitching and twitching comfortingly. Road.

Zhou Yang was silent for more than half an hour and whispered to Xiaoli: "Sister Li, I want to call the master."

The only person who can make Zhou Yang a master is Shen Xin.

Xiaoli sighed,

Zhou Yang picked up her cell phone and watched Xiaoli and her assistant enter the bathroom.

He took a deep breath and dialed Shen Xin's phone. At the moment when Shen Xin connected the phone, he could no longer bear his inner emotions.

"Master, I got the second place, 80 votes more than the third place. I heard Xiaoli said that this score was relatively good in the last month... Well, I will work hard, no Pride, let Lu Ning and Gao Ge cheer, I will cheer them up..."

"..."

Xiao Li was speechless and her assistant looked at each other.

Zhou Yang today is absolutely not normal!

"Ghost Trend" achieved the second place, which eased the tension in the studio.

After a little chat for a few days, the three men again performed their duties and began to draw the manuscript.

After three weeks of selection, the winner of the "Y's" fan competition was settled. The group of players who won the championship was the reverb and seven grapefruits.

Originally, the two girls also wanted to visit Shen Xin immediately, and then learned that their work had to face Shen Xin’s assistant again. In order to ensure the fairness of the game, the two could only do so after the match. Visit Shen Xin's studio.

200,000 cash was distributed to the hands of two girls, but the prize pool prize was not too much. From the promotion of the fan competition to the selection of the champion, the single book sold 600,000 copies, and the prize pool amount was only 120,000 yuan. Their bonus was finally fixed at 260,000.

Although it did not meet expectations, considering that "Y's" did not release new comics during this period, the sales of 600,000 copies have been very good, not to mention, they still have the opportunity to compete for the final 50,000 yuan award.

In the last week of the end of August, "Punishment" was the first to release the fourth volume of the booklet, and the ranking of the rookie list changed again. With the sales volume of 500,000 copies in the first week, "Punishment" became the second in the rookie list.

Readers of "Y's" have long been stunned by the latest serialization of "Y's" and eight fandoms. They are looking forward to the fifth volume released on September 7, and on September 1, "Comic Future" Suddenly announced that "Hunting Abyss" will release the fourth volume on September 8.

For a time, Manjia.com also fell into heated discussions, speculating on the intention of "Hunting Abyss", but then Ye Hexu posted a Weibo, explaining the reason.

"Originally, the sale of the fourth volume was scheduled for September 17, but the magazine company considered that it was too late on the 17th, so it was advanced by 10 days. It is definitely not what everyone thinks."

No matter how many people guess, Ye Hexu gave an explanation. Although it seems like an excuse, these are Ye Hexu's truths.

At first, the magazine originally planned to advance to the 6th, so that "Hunting Abyss" was released before "Y's", but Ye Hexu felt that it was not suitable, and wanted to push it to the 10th. Finally, the two sides compromised and ranked the 8th. .

Ye Hexu has no way to arrange too close to "Y's". As for the operation of the comics, the magazine has the final say. Even if he has a temper, he cannot change the opinion of the magazine.
