Chapter 265 Pressure

Compared with the smooth sailing of "Soul of Chess" in China and Han, its fate in the 11th district is a little bit twists and turns.

One of the reasons is that there are several animations in District 11 that have been shown for decades, and their accumulated popularity cannot be compared with "Soul of Chess", which has been serialized for more than a year.

Secondly, "Young Leap" itself also has comics that need to be taken care of, not to mention others, like "Slam Dunk", the magazine is constantly promoting and advertising, and there are top three animation companies in the industry. Dongying Animation created it by itself, barely surpassing 6.5%, ranking tenth, not to mention "Soul of Chess", even if it is co-produced by Orochi and Long Yao, the ratings are just over 5.5%.

In this way, the results are between good and bad, but both the magazine and Orochi can understand the current situation of "Soul of Chess". Moreover, compared to the overwhelming advertisements of "Slam Dunk", "Soul of Chess" is really much lower-key.

Considering that Orochi only paid less than half of the cost of this cooperation, so even if the sales volume of the dvdamp;bd of "Soul of Chess" does not meet expectations, the company will not pay too much.

Compared with ratings, the magazine is more concerned with how many booklets it can sell.

Five volumes of "Soul of Chess" have been released this year, and on average, the sales volume of each volume is around 400,000 copies. For an imported manga, such a result is very good.

With the release of the animation, Murakami also has his own plans. If nothing else happens, the sales volume of "Soul of Go" will increase by at least 200,000 copies... No, considering that it is half a year, it may even increase by 300,000 copies.

The ratings of the "Slam Dunk" animation are also good, and it can be squeezed into the top ten, which shows that with the development of the plot, the sales of the single book should have a good increase.

After the first episode of "Soul of Chess" was broadcast, there was a good response among the readers. However, the ranking of "Soul of Chess" in "ic future" is still ranked third, and there is no major improvement.

Currently, "Abyss of Hunting" is making its final sprint for "Abyss of Hunting", and the members of the judging committee have also begun to discuss "Abyss of Hunting" and other comics.

Whether it is Manjia.com forum or other websites, "Hunting Abyss" is regarded as a popular candidate for the "Best Long-form Comic Award of the Year", and "ic future" is strongly recommended in websites, bookstores, and TV programs "Hunting the Abyss".

Under the momentum of "ic future", "Hunting Abyss" still ranked first in the ranking of small books in the second week of October, and opened a gap of 50 votes with the second-placed "Dragon King" , got 615 votes.

In contrast, "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Soul of Chess" are only 20 votes behind, and they may be pulled down by "Soul of Chess" at any time.

When Jia Hui saw this ranking, his veins bulged. He picked up the phone, wanting to contact Wang Yunze, and then put down the phone.

This kind of thing...it's better to say it clearly in person.

Hook watched Jia Hui leave the editorial department, and knew what Jia Hui was thinking. He also took a look. Although "Assassin's Diary" was still in fourth place, it was less than 5 votes away from fifth place, and less than 6th place. There are only 15 more votes, and the ranking is at stake.

If Shi Yan knew the current results of "Diary of a Killer", he would probably feel a pain in his stomach.

It's better to go and see the situation, lest he think wildly.

Hook sighed secretly.

Shi Yan, at a glance, is indeed a very attractive man, whether it is the bun,

Moderate figure and sexy beard all make him have the potential of a star cartoonist.

But he also has shortcomings - he likes to be nervous.

This can also explain why a 35+-year-old signature cartoonist is still just a "boy", yes, "boy".

Putting the little book into the briefcase, Hook hurried out of the editing room with the briefcase in hand.

Jian Xiaomei and Wang Wenhong looked at each other, thinking "dissatisfaction" on each other's faces, and then they lowered their heads and continued to work.

Jia Hui's sudden visit surprised Wang Yunze. Today is not the agreed receipt date, and Jia Hui did not call in advance to notify.

"The gap between "Soul of Chess" and "The Legend of the Dragon King" is only 20 votes." After Jia Hui sat down, he went straight to the point.

"Well, I guess so. Recently, the plot of "Soul of Chess" is relatively compact, even if there is no animation, it should be on the rise."

"You can't be surpassed by "Soul of Chess." Jia Hui said seriously.

"Why?" Wang Yunze asked puzzled.

"Teacher Wang, if you are surpassed by "Soul of Chess", "The Legend of the Dragon King" will become the third place." Jia Hui wanted to cry but had no tears.

"The third place is the third place... The rhythm of "The Legend of the Dragon King" is not out of order, but the other comics are too good, and the quality exceeds that of "The Legend of the Dragon King."

"Could it be that you just watched the ranking of "The Legend of the Dragon King" drop step by step?" Jia Hui hurriedly asked.

"How is it possible?" Wang Yunze shook his finger, "However, you have to be clear, even if you win "Soul of Chess" now, it doesn't make much sense. If you want to win, pull down "Hunting Abyss" and return to "The Legend of the Dragon King" Go to the first. Don't worry, I'm already thinking about the plot of the next part. "The Legend of the Dragon King" is still the pillar of "ic future."

"Since Mr. Wang said so, I feel relieved." Jia Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared with "The Legend of the Dragon King" with ease, "The Diary of a Killer" is in a more dangerous situation.

When Hook came to Shi Yan's studio, Shi Yan was drawing comics in an orderly manner.

"Mr. Shi, "Diary of a Killer" has dropped to fifth place."

"oh."

Shi Yan was not as panicked as Hu Ke imagined, but replied casually.

Um? what happened? Personality changed?

Hu Ke looked confused, and came to Shi Yan's side, but found that Shi Yan's face was pale, but his expression was stable, with a feeling of radiance.

Wait...a flashback?

"Mr. Shi, we need to quickly come up with a good name." Hook said hastily.

"I'm thinking... finish "Assassin's Diary" as soon as possible. It's already 300 chapters, so there's no need to draw any more for such a long manga."

Hook instantly "petrified".

What's the meaning? Does Shi Yan not want to draw anymore?

""Assassin's Diary" is currently on the air, and the ratings are good, and the sales of the comic's peripherals, such as stationery and toys, are much higher than other comics. "Such a manga suitable for all ages. Why did it end?"

"The Kiwi King is no longer popular, and he must receive a box lunch. I can't think of any good ideas for the time being. Besides, the newcomer cartoonist is too good, I want to force it."

"Mr. Shi, didn't you tell your readers to move forward bravely when encountering difficulties? You can't do it yourself."

"Who doesn't know how to talk?" Shi Yan said with a pout.

"The newcomers have good momentum, but often they don't have the stamina. Even before the end of Diary of a Killer, they may run out of stamina."

Shi Yan suddenly turned his head to look at Hu Ke, "You said they have no stamina?"

"It should be... Besides, there will be competition between them. Mr. Shi, you have a chance to beat them." Hook patiently persuaded.

"Wait... If I design two enemies who are competing with each other and can work together when facing the protagonist, what do you think?" Shi Yan lowered his head and quickly drew a draft.

"It can be considered." Hook is used to seeing Shi Yan's whim, and the story depends on the name in the end.

"Well, the protagonists of the next story are the prickly pear killer and the sunflower killer." Shi Yan laughed a few times, and then quickly covered his stomach, "No, my stomach hurts."

Hook rubbed his forehead, and Shi Yan returned to normal.
