Chapter 481 Sales

During the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, things related to comics came one after another.

The manga craze brought about by the ninth volume of "Smelting Steel" has surprised many cartoonists.

I originally thought that paper comics would start to decline due to the emergence of Duoman.com, but "Steel Refining" proved that as long as the works are excellent, readers will definitely pay for them.

In Hongchuan City, "Steel Refining" was almost out of stock, and the sales in other places in the country were also impressive. On January 4, "ic future" official Weibo announced the re-release of "Steel Refining".

The hot sales of "Steel Refining" also drove the sales of "Star Games" magazine. The first issue of "Star Game" in the new year sold 100,000 more copies than before, which made the "Star Game" magazine overjoyed.

Then there is Wang Yunze joining Duoman.com.

Although Wang Yunze's comics have not yet been officially serialized, Duoman.com has taken advantage of Wang Yunze's high popularity in China to let some readers focus on Duoman.com again. Some readers watched Wang Yunze's interview video and half-price annual membership , couldn't help charging the annual fee to Manjia.com.

According to the official Weibo report of Duoman.com, on the first day, the number of users who applied for annual membership on Duoman.com reached 200,000.

This data far exceeded everyone's imagination, and with the passage of time, this number continued to rise, and on the third day, it soared to 400,000 people.

In addition to Wang Yunze, Duoman.com has also dug up a person who may influence other magazines——Yuan Zhe, the editor-in-chief of "manga fly", left the original magazine and will join Duoman.com after New Year's Day as the CEO of the website. Everything about Duoman.com.

This layer contains two layers of meaning.

First of all, the editorial department of "manga fly" has lost the helm, and no one knows what will happen to "manga fly" in the future. Secondly, the top person in charge of Duoman.com was replaced by Yuan Zhe from Tong Yu. The future operation of Duoman.com will be separated from Fengshuo.

Yuan Zhe also has a certain appeal in the comics industry. With him on Duoman.com, it is easier to attract capable authors.

Many comic fans don't pay attention to these things, and they probably don't even care who Yuan Zhe is. For them, apart from Wang Yunze joining Duoman.com, another thing that interests readers is the release of the first issue of "ic future".

After 18 weeks of "Hunting Abyss",

It was serialized again, and the latest episode of "Steel Refining", "The Sage of the West (Part 1)" was also published at the same time.

One is the former pillar, the re-serialization published 40 pages in one breath, and the magazine gave it a front page, and the other is a recent hit that has exploded in popularity.

After getting the manga, many readers opened the magazine immediately, and turned to "Abyss of Hunting" from front to back.

After defeating the final boss, the Lord of Warcraft, the hunters killed the Lord of Warcraft, put his body in a nutrient solution, dragged it to the metropolis, and made it into a specimen. However, due to the carelessness of the staff, the internal organs were not removed.

In half a year, the body of the Lord of Warcraft absorbed the nutrient solution. With the help of the camouflage of the torso, the internal organs cells gradually became conscious, and grew into a fleshy ball the size of a fist. When the research institute replaced the nutrient solution, it sprang out of the bottle , quickly entered the staff's body.

The staff in charge of monitoring found an abnormality and immediately sounded the alarm. Three s-level hunters wanted to intercept and kill the Lord of Warcraft, but 2 were killed instead, and another female hunter was controlled by the Lord of Warcraft...

"Hunting Abyss" is about to end, but now it is necessary to continue to create on the basis of the original comics, there will definitely be logical conflicts. However, if you ignore the flaws in logic, it is not difficult to find that the follow-up plot of "Hunting Abyss" is also quite exciting.

Fortunately, this episode is 40 pages long, and there is a front page, full of sincerity, few readers deliberately criticize, and Ye Hexu quickly gained recognition for "The Hunting Abyss" with his excellent chapters.

Whether it is Weibo, or the hot discussion on the Manga.com forum, or a large number of letters from readers, they all prove the success of the return of "Hunting Abyss".

"Smelting Steel" is just after the war.

For ordinary comics, there is often a period of calm after a wonderful duel. The reason is also very simple. It is because the plot is too tight, which keeps the readers' spirits excited all the time. When the plot reaches its climax again, there is no way to Arouse the reader's emotions.

Another point-due to his own strength, the author may not be able to keep the plot at a high pace.

The way "Steel Refined" handles this plot is to divide the soldiers into two lines.

In one of the lines, Al and Roy have a tragic duel with the cyborgs. After the war ended, "Smelting Steel" then led to another line, replacing this period of calm with Edward's knowledge and knowledge.

It seems that there is no fight, but the effect is not weak at all.

Edward and Master Fu followed Bleda to the east and entered the desert as "smugglers".

Together with the others, Bradley met his father, and at the same time told the reason for not killing Roy.

"I want him to open the door!"

This sentence seems to slow down the rhythm, but the tension of the plot is not weak at all.

At the end, Roy waited for several patients to stay in the ward, pondering the relationship between the president and the artificial human, leaving a suspense-whether these people can discover the true identity of the president.

...

These two comics are very exciting, and the debate on the two comics on the Manjia.com forum has become more and more intense.

Taking advantage of the rising popularity of the two comics, "ic future" also released the weekly sales volume of volume 9 of "Steel Refining".

"Volume 9 of "Steel Refining" has achieved excellent results in the past week. Among them, the weekly sales volume in China was 750,000 copies, and the sales volume in the 11th district was 520,000 copies. Thank you for your long-term support. I will work harder!"

The release of this Weibo left many people dumbfounded.

With China and the 11 districts included, the weekly sales of a single volume of "Steel Refining" approached 1.3 million copies, which far exceeded most readers' expectations.

At a time when the paper comics market is showing signs of weakness, "Steel Refining" has come up with such a report card, which is enough to prove that the paper comics market is still strong.

"Is it fake? Will the ninth volume of "Steel Refining" be so popular?"

"Some time ago, someone said that volume 9 of "Steelmaking" sold 500,000 copies in District 11. I thought it was bragging? I didn't expect it to be officially confirmed today."

"1.3 million volumes in a single week is a bit exaggerated."

"It's an exaggeration! This is an achievement without the animation being released!"

"To be honest, the gap between "Sirius" and "Smelting Steel" is a bit big."

Someone mentioned "Sirius", so naturally someone mentioned the Weibo that Duan Ping reposted.

"Didn't someone say a few days ago that "Steel Refining" invited the navy? The popularity can be found by the navy. Come on, tell me, is this sales volume also hired by someone?"

"Just kidding, the author only gets 10% of the royalties for a book. If you print a single book, wouldn't it be a loss?"

"I remember a while ago, Teacher Duan posted a Weibo, 'High popularity doesn't mean good sales'. Are you slapped in the face now? Do Teacher Duan's comics have more than 500,000 copies in a single week?"

"Don't talk about it, I smelled a strong sour smell when I saw that Weibo. It is estimated that the income of "Steel Refining" for a week is equivalent to Teacher Duan's income for several months?"

"Stop arguing, Mr. Duan deleted that Weibo!"

"Ah? I still want to take a screenshot as a souvenir! It's over now (crying)."

The next few floors are full of smirking emoticons.
