Chapter 141: Publishing Doujin
With the end of June, only the top ten comics are kept on the major lists. At the same time, Manga.com also gives each comic a different popularity value.
There are two sources of popularity. One source is registered netizens, who can vote for their favorite comics every day, which is recorded as one point. The second source is the sales of comics multiplied by 10.
Since the comics that entered the list had sales of more than one million, the base was too large. Manjia.com cleared the accumulated popularity value of the 10th place, and subtracted the popularity value of the tenth place from the points of the top nine.
Even so, Shen Xin's popularity value still reached 10 million, and the first place got 12 million points.
It may seem exaggerated, but that's exactly what the organizers needed.
Before time-traveling, many online novels had over 100 million hits as their selling points, but could each of them actually have over 100 million hits?
In fact, not necessarily, after all, different websites count clicks in different ways. But as a selling point, it couldn't be better.
There is a difference of 2 million popularity points between Shen Xin and the first place, which is also a gap of 200,000 volumes.
Now number one is Manga Fly's sports comic, Top of the Basketball.
As the name suggests, this comic tells the story of how a group of teenagers who love basketball overcome difficulties and win championships in all leagues. The style is not like "Slam Dunk", no matter in terms of storyboard, artistry or story, it is not the same as "Slam Dunk".
If you have to make an analogy, it feels a bit like Captain Tsubasa.
The protagonist and his team are like bulldozers, no matter who the opponent is, they will be flattened directly. Except for the team that is two years higher than them and lost once, the rest are almost all victories.
Compared with Gong Yan's "Chasing the Wind Boy", the characters in "Top of Basketball" will be injured. Therefore, when it comes to a critical game, one or two players are injured, which will often make the story turbulent, which has attracted many people. Readers' favorite.
However, "Manga Fly" does not want to promote this comic, because the readers of this comic are too young, half of whom are elementary school students. After they read the magazine, they do not buy booklet collections.
Therefore, the popularity of "Top of Basketball" is good, but the single volume has been released in six volumes, but it is only 200,000 more than "Y's". Next, it depends on whether animation can drive its sales.
Compared with the first few comics, Shen Xin actually cares more about "Punishment" and "Hunting Abyss" which are ranked behind "Y's".
The sales volume of "Punishment" and "Y's" has always been within 50,000 copies, and in the past few months, the two comics have often competed with each other, and they have been fighting happily.
Although "The Hunting Abyss" showed no signs of showing in the first few months, it also showed its terrifying potential in the last week when the sales of the third volume exceeded 600,000.
Shen Xin can almost be sure that with the broadcast of the "Hunting Abyss" animation, the sales of the booklet will further increase. And the only card he can play now is a "Double Match".
Gao Hang yawned, touched with his left hand, picked up a can of coffee, and was just about to pour it into his mouth, but found that it was empty. Only then did he realize that the can of coffee had already been drunk.
"Hey, Lu Ning, do you want coffee?" Gao Hang stood up and walked towards the refrigerator.
"Thanks."
Lu Ning raised her head and closed her eyes. She didn't go to bed until two o'clock in the night, and got up before seven o'clock in the morning. Now she was a little sleepy and her eyes were astringent, so she took two drops of eye drops and took a short rest.
Refreshers like coffee and energy drinks are what she needs most at the moment.
Gao Hang opened the refrigerator and found that apart from a few cans of beer and peanuts, there was nothing else in the refrigerator, so he closed the refrigerator door feebly.
"I'll go down and buy some bottles of coffee."
Shen Xin lowered her head to paint, and subconsciously responded, Lu Ning raised her face and waved: "Hurry up.
"
"I know. It's hot outside!" Gao Hang drooped his face.
It's already July, and the temperature outside is above 30 degrees. With his body size, running back and forth to the supermarket would probably melt his fat.
But there is no way, who let the coffee run out?
Just as Gao Hang opened the door, he suddenly saw Yan Fei standing outside the door who was about to ring the doorbell, and screamed in fright.
Yan Fei was also startled and took a step back. After seeing that the person standing at the door was Gao Hang, she calmed down a little, "Mr. Gao, what are you doing? It's really scary."
Gao Hang also patted his chest repeatedly, his little heart beating wildly.
"Oh, sister Yan, you scared me to death. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a person standing at the door... Eh? Not sleepy anymore!?" Gao Hang only spoke half of the sentence, but found that he was completely sleepy, "Yan Sister, what are you doing here?"
"Receive the name, and then, the sample issue of the next issue of the magazine will also come out." Yan Fei picked up the magazine.
"Sample issue? I haven't read it for a long time." Gao Hang scratched his head and smiled.
Now his daily life is very "full", and he doesn't even have time to watch "Comic Future".
"This sample is different." Yan Fei shook the sample in her hand, "It published two fan stories from "Y's"."
"Huh? Fans?"
Gao Hang's eyes brightened immediately, he licked his lips, and stared straight at the magazine in Yan Fei's hand. Sure enough, there were two characters from "Y's" drawn on the lower right corner of the cover.
"Sister Yan, fast forward." Gao Hang hurriedly let Yan Fei into the studio, and he followed behind Yan Fei, looking eagerly at the magazine in Yan Fei's hand.
"Sister Yan, why are you here?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.
"The name of the next chapter, as well as the sample of the next issue, the two fans of "Y's" have been published, don't you take a look at how the level is?"
As soon as Yan Fei put the magazine on the table, Gao Hang took it away immediately.
Lu Ning also stood up and came behind Gao Hang.
Recently, "Y's" didn't have color pages. The main reason was that after Zhou Yang left, Shen Xin didn't have much time to draw color pages, so the pages were mainly black and white. Turn over the front page, and you will find "Y's", and the two fan articles are at the back of the magazine, roughly equivalent to a relatively long short story.
"Reverberation? Seven grapefruits? This name...is so strange." Gao Hang first saw the names of the two authors.
"Tch, I can tell from hearing that you don't know much about your opponent." Lu Ning glanced at Gao Hang angrily, "Reverberation is a famous fan cartoonist in Hongchuan. She likes to draw sad love stories. There is a fixed Fans, it is said that her highest sales volume at the fan show was 700 copies. She is one of the few big hands who can sell so many comics without relying on 18X."
"Seven Grapefruit's reputation is not as good as reverberation. Her fan comics involve 18X, so she is relatively popular only in some specific fan exhibitions. She has also drawn two books related to "Y's". It is said that The quality is very good, and he is also good at drawing female characters."
Gao Hang opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Lu Ning in surprise, "You know all this?"
"Of course. But you...don't check your opponent's information?" Lu Ning looked at Gao Hang angrily.
"I'm sorry." Gao Hang solemnly apologized. He really had no experience in investigating opponents. He couldn't refute what Lu Ning said about him.
Lu Ning didn't intend to quarrel with Gao Hang either, and immediately focused on the manga.
