Chapter 313 Sales

Before the single book is sold, the sales department will conduct research on the performance of the manga, market response and many other factors, and finally determine the printing volume of the edition.

Volume 14 of "Soul of Chess" is no exception.

The edition is 400,000 copies, which is the amount of a signature manga, and it shows the sales department's confidence in "Soul of Chess".

On the girdle of the 14th volume, the words "'International Manga Award Grand Prize' winning works" were written, and at the same time, Shang Haozhi and Murakami Toru also wrote recommendations.

Originally, Shang Haozhi planned to ask Wang Yunze and Ye Hexu to also write two words of recommendation, but both of them refused.

"It's not that I don't help. I just write recommendations for cartoonists of the same level. It feels weird." Wang Yunze waved his hand.

"You don't think "Soul of Chess" can't do it now, do you? How to deal with the plot after the climax can reflect the strength of a cartoonist. Now "Soul of Chess" is handled very well, I can't do it. So, don't let me do it Such a shameful thing." Ye Hexu also retorted.

As for District 11, Tamagawa Haruka wrote a recommendation, which is simple and direct——a manga that I have been reading and researching, and I strongly recommend it.

On November 20th, the 14th volume of "Soul of Chess" finally went on sale.

Gao Hang also paid attention to the time when he was drawing the sketch.

After 1 o'clock, the fourteenth volume will be officially sold in major bookstores.

Usually, Gao Hang would go to a nearby bookstore immediately after get off work, but there was still a high probability that he would not be able to buy new books.

Today, that should not be the case.

400,000 copies, plus the recent sluggish popularity of "Soul of Chess", if nothing else, there should be a nearby bookstore for sale.

After finishing the day's work, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Gao Hang carried his schoolbag and came to the bookstore near the community.

There were very few people in the bookstore, just a few, just as Gao Hang had guessed.

There is no billboard for "Soul of Chess" at the door, but there are promotional slogans and posters for "Soul of Chess" in the bookstore.

However, seeing Zuo Wei and Xiao Guang giving thumbs up with smiles on their faces, Gao Hang still felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, Zuo Wei has disappeared.

Gao Hang came to the booth where the new book was sold, where the latest published booklets were placed.

For example, "Gentleman in Cross-dress", which won this year's "Best Long-form Comic Award", was sold just two days ago; Luo Zheng, who won the "Newcomer Award", also released the sixth volume of the booklet.

At this moment, there are still more than a dozen copies of these two comics on the booth.

Could it be that it's not sold out yet?

Gao Hang chuckled, feeling a "dark belly" in his heart.

Considering the sales of comics and avoiding "fighting", the signature comics of "cobsp;Future" will not be concentrated in a certain period of time, and new booklets will be sold together.

During the week when the new book of "Soul of Chess" is on sale, there will be no new books for "The Legend of the Dragon King", "Abyss of Hunting" and "Diary of a Killer". Therefore, the new book of "Soul of Chess" should be easy to find... that's right.

Gao Hang's eyes quickly scanned dozens of pamphlets.

Two days ago, Wang Wenhong came to the studio with a sample booklet. Gao Hang had seen the sample and was familiar with the cover of the sample, so it would not be too difficult to find it.

However……

No!

Gao Hang blinked his eyes, thinking that he had read it wrong, so he scanned the book again, but still did not find "Soul of Chess".

what happened?

Gao Hang looked around, and finally found a shopping guide at the end of the bookshelf.

"Hi, may I ask...haven't you entered "Soul of Chess"?"

""Soul of Chess"? It's sold out at seven o'clock in the evening."

"Huh? So fast?"

"Yeah, it's faster than "Gentleman in Cross Dress". I don't understand why "Soul of Chess" is not the 'best novel'." The shopping guide was puzzled.

Gao Hang opened his mouth slightly.

The sales volume of the booklet "Soul of Chess" is not the same as that of the small book.

Wait... It's also possible that because of the game between Zuo Wei and Shi Xingyang in this volume, the sales will increase.

Gao Hang speculated in his mind, but asked in his mouth: "That... Excuse me, how many copies of "Soul of Chess" have been sold today?"

"As usual,

300 books. You also know that our bookstore is not mainly based on comics, and the sales volume is not large. If it is Jiman Bookstore, it is estimated that 1,500 books will start, right? "

Gao Hang was a little confused. Obviously, the performance of the small book has gone through a roller coaster, but the sales volume of the booklet has little effect.

How strange.

The next day, Wang Wenhong called early in the morning and told a number that surprised Shen Xin.

"Daily, 112,000 volumes."

"Huh? So tall?"

"Well, volume 14 happens to be the most exciting volume of "Soul of Chess". If it wasn't affected by the 'disappearance of Zuowei', the results would be better. By the way, although some readers gave up "Soul of Chess", they stayed readers will have a higher sense of identity with "Soul of Chess". They will also have a greater probability of buying the booklet."

Shen Xin nodded.

Wang Wenhong's words are actually not difficult to understand.

Different readers have different understandings of a work, hence the saying "there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers".

Similarly, readers have different perceptions of a work because of their different reading habits and experiences. As the saying goes, "the other's poisonous weed is my fairy grass".

Whether it is novels or comics, there are so many books, readers can choose books according to their personal preferences. This is the process of "searching for books".

In the same way, a work will face countless readers. Readers who are interested in this work will stay, and readers who don't like the work will choose to give up. Therefore, in the process of the work, it is also "selecting people". ".

This is a two-way process.

The drop in the ranking of the small book just proves that readers who don't like that plot have given up "Soul of Chess", but similarly, there will be people who like this kind of plot and become readers of "Soul of Chess".

Should have known this earlier.

"Brother Wang, thank you."

"Huh? Thank you for what?" Wang Wenhong asked puzzled.

"What you said made me think about a lot of things." Shen Xin laughed.

"Ah?" Wang Wenhong was at a loss, not knowing what useful words he said.

The weekly sales volume of "Soul of Chess" reached 520,000 copies, which was a drop of 240,000 copies compared with the peak of 760,000 copies in a single week, but compared with the 13th volume, it only dropped by 40,000 copies.

This number greatly exceeded Wang Wenhong's expectations, and also surprised Shang Haozhi.

And in late December, "cobsp;Future" sold the 15th volume of "Soul of Chess".

Both "cobsp;Future" and "Youth Leap" are very pessimistic about the sales volume of this volume, but the sales volume in the final week exceeded everyone's expectations.

450,000 volumes in a single week!

Although there are 70,000 fewer volumes 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.

In January, the second season of "Soul of Chess" was broadcast on Hongchuan TV.

Screenings remain every Saturday at 8pm, beginning the first week of January and throughout the year.

Along with the popularity of animation, the popularity of "Soul of Chess" has gradually recovered.
