Chapter 635 Pressure

In July, "ComicFuture" cooperated with major platforms to carry out a series of rights protection activities, and achieved certain results.

Domestic forums that posted D-version resources, as well as domestic D-version websites that wanted to take advantage of the upsurge brought by Manga Paradise, were all blocked, and domestic search engines' searches for D-version resources were also greatly reduced.

The sales volume of "ComicFuture" has finally stabilized, with 3.5 million copies in a single week, which is 500,000 copies less than before "Steel Refining" was suspended.

Including Shang Haozhi, no one expected that the suspension of "Steel Refining" would bring such a big change to the sales of "ComicFuture". However, before the appearance of the D version, about 70% of the sales volume of the single book was maintained.

After careful analysis, some reasons can also be found.

First of all, the decline in the magazine's sales has something to do with the suspension of "Steel Refining", because its sales of single volumes have not been greatly affected.

Secondly, the D-version website can be blocked, but there is no good way to deal with hidden methods, such as someone publishing resources in the penguin group, or online disks that have become popular abroad.

Again, or to put it another way, what hit the magazine even harder was that even if Manga Paradise's server was attacked, the website would not only be revived with full strength, but also a similar D-version website would appear.

That's right, even in foreign countries, there are already more than one D-version website, and there is even a website that translates some popular manga into Japanese and English.

For these websites, the magazine also felt helpless, feeling like "the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows again". "ComicFuture" has no agent in these countries, so it is very difficult to defend its rights.

They don't want to let these websites go, but they have no way to stop them. They can only hope that the "Cartoonists Association" will reach an agreement despite consultations with foreign countries.

For a long period of time in the future, domestic magazines, comics, and even light novels will face such a situation, without exception, without exception. This is almost the consensus of the industry.

The creation environment of domestic comics is in a stable state, and magazines have also reduced the number of first editions of single volumes compared with before.

This year, the "avalanche" triggered by the D version made comic practitioners feel a little chill.

Duoman.com held an activity to recharge and get coupons, the highest even reached a discount rate of one year for one year, which made its business value slightly increased-after all, it did not include all domestic comics. Compared with the D version, This is the weakness.

"ComicFuture" has even fewer options. It mainly makes money from booklets and magazines. You can't buy one and get one free, right?

After negotiating with Luo Zheng, the magazine decided to put "The King of Rock and Roll" on its own app, ten yuan a copy, and 50% of the income.

July will be the home of "The King of Rock and Roll". The magazine not only strongly recommends this comic on TV programs, but also puts up posters in major bookstores, marking the new booklet of "The King of Rock and Roll". For publicity, advertise on related 2D websites and other magazines.

The "ComicFuture" app also gave the "King of Rock and Roll" a boot color painting, and plans to add this comic directly to readers' bookshelves after the comic is officially launched on the app-this is already the best promotion of the app.

This kind of treatment has not even been enjoyed in "Steel Refining".

Luo Zheng also knew that this month was his best chance, so he tried his best to prove himself, and the plot gradually increased, trying to stabilize his advantage before "Smelting Steel" came back.

On the other hand, "The Hunting Abyss" is coming to an end, and some readers bought the magazine for their feelings.

Under the influence of these two factors, the sales volume of "ComicFuture" rose steadily after entering July, reaching 3.68 million copies.

However, such an increase obviously cannot satisfy Shang Haozhi.

"Climax... Hurry up and let Teacher Luo hand in the most exciting part.

"Shang Haozhi reminded Xu Jie.

"Mr. Shang, comics must have a rhythm. If there is not enough foreshadowing in the early stage, even if the climax is drawn, it will not make people's eyes shine. You should trust Teacher Luo?" Xu Jie persuaded patiently.

He now also knows Wang Wenhong's difficulties.

After "Smelting Steel" was suspended, all the pressure was on "King of Rock and Roll". The first position seemed good, but there was a volcano under the ass.

Compared with "Forged Steel", in addition to the inferior quality, the biggest shortcoming of "The King of Rock and Roll" is the subject matter, and there are not as many potential readers as "Forged Steel".

Xu Jie is well aware of the conflict between the top management and Shen Xin, but at present, it is difficult to make a big difference with only one or two comics.

Shang Haozhi's intention is also very obvious, that is to prove to Shen Xin that whoever they want to praise can be popular, so as to make Shen Xin give in.

When the magazine put all expectations on "The King of Rock" and "The Restaurant of Other Worlds", the pressure on the two comics can be imagined-they not only have to face the aggressive Duoman.com and "The Age of Gods" ", but also to carry the sales of "ComicFuture".

Shang Haozhi rubbed his forehead, feeling depressed.

After "Steel Refining" was suspended, the popularity of animation on the Internet continued to rise, not only in China, but also aroused discussions among readers in District 11.

Due to the popularity of the animation, even if the comic was interrupted for a month, it still ranked in the top three of the popularity list, stabilizing the top spot of "The King of Rock and Roll".

This kind of situation was not what the top management wanted to see, but they couldn't find a work that could replace "Smelting Steel".

It's really difficult.

At this moment, Yan Fei walked into the office with two envelopes.

"How is Teacher Shen?" Shang Haozhi couldn't help asking.

"Mr. Shen?" Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, Shang Haozhi hadn't asked about Shen Xin for a long time, "The arm is almost healed, and the inflammation on the stomach is also recovering well."

"Have you started drawing yet?"

"Of course, Orochi has been urging." Yan Fei explained.

"Where did you draw it?"

"It's very nervous. Al and Hoinheim meet, and then they may face 'Father'."

Shang Haozhi looked at the beaming Yan Fei, and sighed again in his heart. He could only hope that "The King of Rock and Roll" would soon take off.

"By the way, Mr. Shang, have you followed the rankings of Western animation?" Yan Fei suddenly asked after sitting down.

"No, what's the matter?" Shang Haozhi asked puzzled.

"You can find out after searching the Internet." Yan Fei forced a smile.

"Um?"

Shang Haozhi looked confused, but still subconsciously found the Asian animation rankings in the United States, quickly browsed the list, and was immediately speechless.

The animation of "Steel Refining" ranked third with a score of 9.3, and "The Journey of Two" ranked seventh with a score of 8.9.

what happened?

Shang Haozhi was confused, and quickly glanced at the number of commenters.

The number of people who rated it was not too many. The combined number of people who rated the two comics was less than 200 people.

He looked at the other animations, without exception, all of them were works of District 11, and there were even comics at the level of monsters from 20 or 30 years ago.

Could it be that there are readers abroad watching the animation of "Smelting Steel"?

Shang Haozhi blinked his eyes, unable to turn his head around.
