My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 313 Sales
Before the single-line sales, the sales department will investigate the achievements of the comics, market response and many other factors, and finally determine the printing volume.
Volume 14 of "Soul of Chess" is no exception.
The 40-million-volume edition is the volume of a signature comic, and it also shows the sales department's confidence in "Chess Soul".
On the girdle of the 14th volume, the words "'International Comic Award·Best Award' winning works" were written, and at the same time, Shang Haozhi and Murakami Toru also wrote a recommendation.
Originally, Shang Haozhi planned to let Wang Yunze and Ye Hexu also write two recommendations, but they were both rejected.
"It's not that I don't help, just writing recommendations for cartoonists of the same level, it feels weird." Wang Yunze waved his hand.
"You don't think "Soul of Chess" is not working now? How to deal with the plot after the climax, in order to show the strength of a cartoonist. Now "Soul of Chess" handles well, I can't do it. So, don't let me do it Such a shameful thing." Ye Hexu also retorted.
In the 11th district, Yuchuan Yao wrote the recommended words, which is simple and straightforward-the comics that have been followed up and studied are highly recommended.
On November 2o, Volume 14 of Soul of Chess is finally on sale.
Gao Hang also pays attention to the time when drawing sketches.
After 1 o'clock, volume 14 was officially sold in major bookstores.
As usual, Gao Hang will go to a nearby bookstore as soon as possible after get off work, but there is still a high probability that he will not be able to buy a new book.
Today, this should not be the case.
40,000 copies, plus the recent slump in "Soul of Chess", if there is no accident, it should be available at a bookstore nearby.
After finishing the day's work, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, Gao Hang carrying a school bag and came to the bookstore near the community.
There are few people in the bookstore, only a few, as Gao Hang guessed.
There is no billboard with "Soul of Chess" at the door, but there are slogans and posters for "Soul of Chess" in the bookstore.
However, Gao Hang still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Zuo Wei and Xiaoguang's thumbs up smiling.
After all, Zuo Wei has disappeared.
Gao Hang came to the booth of the new book sale. Here, she placed the latest week's booklet.
For example, "Dress Up Gentleman", which won this year's "Best Featured Comic Award", was only sold in the first two days; Luo Zheng, who won the "Rookie Award", also launched a volume 6 booklet.
At the moment, there are more than a dozen of these two comics in the booth.
Isn't it not sold out yet?
Gao Hang smiled, and had a kind of "belly black" thought in his heart.
Considering the sales of comics and avoiding "fights", the signature comics of "cobsp;Future" will not be concentrated in a certain period of time, and the new single book will be sold together.
In this week of the sale of the new book "Soul of Chess", "The Dragon King", "Hunting Abyss" and "Killer Diary" will not sell new books, so the new book of "Soul of Chess" should be easy to find... that's right.
Gao Hang's vision quickly swept through dozens of notebooks.
Two days ago, Wang Wenhong came to the studio with a sample book. Gao Hang has seen the sample and is familiar with the cover of the sample. It will not be too difficult to find.
however……
No!
Gao Hang blinked his eyes, thinking that he had read it wrong, and scanned the book again, but still no "Soul of Chess".
what happened?
Gao Hang looked around and finally found a shopping guide at the end of the bookshelf.
"Hello, may I ask... Didn't you enter "Soul of Chess"?"
""Soul of Chess"? It's sold out at seven in the evening."
"Huh? So fast?"
"Yeah, faster than "Cross-dressed Gentleman", I don't understand why "Soul of Chess" is not the "best feature"." The shopping guide puzzled.
Gao Hang opened his mouth slightly.
The sales volume of the single book "Soul of Chess" is inconsistent with that of the book.
Wait... It is also possible that this volume has a game between Zuo Wei and Shi Xingyang, so sales will rise.
Gao Hang speculated in his heart, but asked in his mouth: "That... Excuse me, how many copies of "Soul of Chess" sold today?"
"As usual,
Gao Hang was a little confused, and the results of the Mingxiao Book had experienced a roller coaster, but the sales of single books had little effect.
It's really strange.
The next day, Wang Wenhong called early in the morning and said a number that surprised Shen Xin.
"Day, 112,000 volumes."
"Ah? So tall?"
"Well, volume 14 happens to be the most exciting volume of "The Soul of Chess." If it is not affected by "Zuowei disappears", it is estimated that the score will be better. By the way, although some readers gave up "Soul of Chess", but stayed Readers will have a higher sense of identification with "Soul of Chess." They will also have a higher probability of buying a single book."
Shen Xin nodded.
Wang Wenhong's words are not difficult to understand.
Different readers have different understandings of a work. Therefore, the phrase "a thousand readers and a thousand Hamlet" is the only one.
Similarly, readers have different perceptions of a work because of their different reading habits and experiences. As the saying goes, "the other's poisonous grass, my fairy grass".
Whether it is a novel or a comic, the number is so vast that readers can choose books according to their personal preferences. This is the process of "scouring books".
In the same way, a work will also face countless readers. Readers who are interested in this work will stay. Readers who don’t like the work will choose to give up. Therefore, in this process, the work is also "picking people ".
This is a two-way process.
The decline in the rank of the small book only proves that readers who do not like that plot have given up "Soul of Chess", but similarly, there will also be people who like this kind of plot and become readers of "Soul of Chess".
You should have known this truth early.
"Brother Wang, thank you."
"Huh? Thank you for what?" Wang Wenhong puzzled.
"Your words made me think a lot of things." Shen Xin laughed.
"Ah?" Wang Wenhong was confused, not clear what he said was useful.
Weekly sales of "Soul of Chess" reached 520,000 volumes, which is a difference of 240,000 volumes compared to the peak of 760,000 volumes in a single week, but compared to the 13th volume, it only fell by 40,000 volumes.
This number greatly exceeded Wang Wenhong's expectations and also surprised Shang Haozhi.
In late December, "cobsp; Future" sold volume 15 of "Soul of Chess".
Whether it is "cobsp; Future" or "Junior Leap", the sales volume of this volume is very bad, but in the end, the weekly sales volume has exceeded everyone's expectations.
450,000 copies in a week!
Although there are 70,000 copies less than the 14th volume, considering that the content of this volume is rejected by many people, this sales volume has been accepted by the magazine.
The time entered January, and the second season of "Chess Soul" was broadcast on Hongchuan TV.
The screening time is still 8 pm every Saturday, starting from the first week of January and running throughout the year.
With the popularity of the animation, the popularity of "Soul of Chess" has also gradually recovered.
