Chapter 477: The Heat of Public Opinion

? The discussion between "Steel Refining" and the navy and tap water has become more and more intense on the Internet, and the popularity of "Steel Refining" has also increased.

The gap between "Smelting Steel" and "Sirius" is not small, and now after such a commotion, the gap between the two comics is even bigger.

Duan Ping was so angry that he almost hit the wall, why did he retweet that Weibo?

"Steel Refining" was already popular, but now not only some people are discussing the plot, but also some people are arguing whether "Steel Refining" has invited sailors, and the popularity has increased by 1/3.

Hey, it's typical to shoot yourself in the foot with a stone.

Now he finally understands that the hot list doesn't have to be positive. Even if there are negative comments, as long as it doesn't hurt the root, it is a positive buff.

"High popularity does not mean good sales."

This Weibo, full of sour taste, is also a portrayal of his heart.

He paid 12,000 yuan for a manuscript, and the money he got was not more than "Steel Refining"? In the final analysis, the ranking basis of the hot list is still unreasonable.

But then again, the popularity also shows that "Smelting Steel" is indeed superior. Otherwise, why don't other comics rank first?

Between advancing and retreating, Duan Ping didn't know how to make a choice.

"Comic Future" magazine is also outraged by this matter, but now they cannot afford to focus too much on these matters.

The strong rise of "Smelting Steel" has stabilized the sales volume of "Comic Future", making it stable from a minimum of less than 4 million to the current 4.4 million copies.

The publication of "The Intricate Center (Part 1)" brought the magazine's sales to 4.5 million copies.

If this is due to the sailors, Shang Haozhi hopes that there will be more sailors like this.

At the same time, the editorial department is also preparing for the new magazine in January. In this issue, "The Hunting Abyss" will make a strong comeback. The first episode after comeback, more than 40 pages.

At that time, the double insurance created by "Steel Forging" and "Hunting Abyss" should stabilize the sales of "Comic Future".

In addition, the release of volume 9 of "Smelting Steel" is also in the preparation stage.

In the 11th district, the printed comics have already been shipped to major bookstores and are ready to be released at any time. Although the release date is later, Huaxia is also ready to deal with other emergencies.

Under such circumstances, the last issue of "Comic Future" was released this year, and at the same time, with the publication of "Intricate Central (Part 2)", this plot is also coming to an end.

With the help of the fire generated by the flint and steel, Roy launched a flame attack based on the formation of his back.

The continuous high-temperature flames exhausted the "Philosophy's Stone" in Rust's body.

Ruster's final blow, the finger turned into a spike, was only a few millimeters away from Roy's forehead, but her movement stopped.

"Although I'm not reconciled, it's not bad to be killed by a man like you... I like your unhesitating, straightforward eyes..."

After saying goodbye to Roy, Rast was reduced to ashes, and even the "Sage's Stone" in his body was reduced to debris during the fall.

And the storyboard of "The Philosopher's Stone" falling and turning into ashes with the wind also aroused discussion among readers.

Many domestic cartoonists cannot achieve that kind of dynamic feeling that is gradually disappearing.

Then, the story came to an end.

Bradley, who stood outside the door with a long sword in his hand, did not go in in the end. After putting away his long sword, he paced away with his hands behind his back.

But is that the end of the story?

not at all.

Edward followed Abstrong and joined Roy's subordinate Bleda.

...

Readers read the last page in one breath, and finally relaxed their tense nerves.

"I thought Bradley was going to fight too?"

"If you join the war, these people will all die!"

"I really hate this feeling. After the great war, everything becomes dull..."

"Don't say it so disgusting, tasteless or something, I don't know!"

"Although this episode has temporarily come to an end, have you noticed that Edward's branch line has also come out?"

"That's right... Guess why Roy sent Edward away?"

"Of course it's because I'm afraid that Edward will make trouble."

"You don't understand what I mean. With Edward's temper, if he is kicked out for an unwarranted reason, will he definitely trouble Roy when he comes back? Roy is not a fool, and he will not just look for Edward to leave It's an excuse. To put it bluntly, there are other important plots in Edward's branch."

After readers' analysis, many people also sorted out their ideas.

"Damn it, I felt dull just now, but now I'm suddenly alive again!"

"Me too, I want to know what happened to Edward. Are these foreshadowings too deep?"

"Looking back, I will know, I want to read every chapter of "Steel Refining"."

"You guys... I suggest that you better read it again, lest there will be foreshadowing later, but you don't know it."

"That's right. Read the previous "Steel Refining" again..."

...

The latest issue of the little book has no suspense, "Smelting Steel" once again won the first place. At the same time, the hot list has also completed the "dominance of the list" for four consecutive weeks, and the second place is "Sirius", which is mainly free.

Free comics, which were supposed to have an advantage, are now at a disadvantage.

As some readers said on the Internet, although small restaurants are cheaper, many people still prefer to go to big restaurants.

This has nothing to do with the price, even if it is a comic, it gives people a different feeling.

On December 26, the 9th volume of "Steel Refining" was released in the 11th district. With the help of the momentum of "Counterattack Wolf Smoke (upper and lower)" and "Intricate Center (upper and lower)", the 9th volume of "Steel Refining" Volume sales were booming, and 100,000 copies were sold on the first day, making it the best-selling single volume since "Steel Refining" was released in the 11th district.

The calculated data was submitted to Toru Murakami. After seeing it, Toru Murakami was overjoyed. Judging from this figure, the 500,000 copies in the first week should not be lost.

I don't know what the sales of "Steel Refining" in China will look like.

Murakami Toru also had a glimmer of expectation.

...

After Wang Wenhong received the manuscript of the new episode, he roughly read it twice and put the manuscript in an envelope without any mistakes.

"The sales of the new issue of the magazine are good, and the single volume of the 11th district is also selling well. Although the reputation of "Steel Refining" on the Internet is mixed, once the ninth volume is sold, it will attract the attention of those rumormongers." face." Wang Wenhong snorted coldly, and he still feels displeased with those messages to this day.

"I'm waiting too." Shen Xin wiped her nose and smiled lightly.

"The magazine is going to release the announcement a week after "Smelting Steel" is released, which will be more convincing. Mr. Shen, you may have to wait for a while."

"That doesn't matter, it will happen one day sooner or later." Shen Xin looked up at Wang Wenhong who was standing by the workbench, "Is the magazine office better now?"

"Of course... In a few days, Duoman.com will start charging, and our pressure should be less. At the same time, "Hunting Abyss" is re-serialized, and "Smelting Steel" can also be slowed down a little, so that "Hunting Abyss" and "Rock Roll" "The King" hold on for a while." Wang Wenhong said.

"Wait a minute, Brother Wang, you seem to have misunderstood "Steel Refining"." Shen Xin smiled lightly, "Whether "Steel Refining" should be slowed down or not has nothing to do with whether "Hunting Abyss" is serialized or not."

"Huh?" Wang Wenhong was taken aback.

"I mean, I still have to fight for the first place in the double list in January."

Wang Wenhong raised his brows slightly, and then the corners of his mouth curled up, "That's good, I also hope that "Smelting Steel" can always get the first place."

Shen Xin smiled without saying a word.
