Six Hundred and Fiftieth Chapters Momentum
The rapidity of steel smelting has surprised many readers.
icfuture uses Ganglian to promote the app. In a short period of time, the number of downloads of comics has increased dramatically. Readers have also read more than 90% of Ganglian's content from the app for free, revisiting the previous plots of Ganglian.
For Ganglian, the most important point of this event is that before the serialization of Chapter 138 "Reversal of Liancheng", the app released the comics of the first three episodes for free, so that readers are familiar with the previous plot and reduce the number of readers. The strange feeling of reading the new serialization also made the popularity of Steel Refined Manga pick up at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, with the help of Steel Refining’s free gimmick, the app also attracted some readers while others were dissuaded by the app’s bad experience.
This time, even Shang Haozhi couldn't sit still, and personally recruited programmers at a high price to improve the experience of the app as soon as possible.
He understands a truth, if the ui and payment functions of the app cannot be done well, then it is tantamount to wishing to compete with Duoman.com for the market of app comics.
If you want readers to pay, at least let readers recharge at any time
The steps are cumbersome and the recharge is delayed Unless it is true love, most readers will not pay for it
As for Steel Refining, Shen Xin used three chapters, nearly a hundred pages, to bring Steel Refining to the top of the hot list again. The sales volume of icfuture also hovered around 4 million copies after Steel Refining was serialized.
Duoman.com is also happy to see Shen Xin's strong return, because as Shen Xin further confirms her status, more and more people start to read the ys comic.
Of course, it is not realistic for ys to catch up with the Age of Gods and Sirius in a short period of time, and it is even difficult to catch up with Fu Bo's Shengwu Academy, but before the new serialization of ys appears, maintain a proper popularity , by then, Shen Xin's re-serialization, coupled with ys film and television, should be able to attract the attention of some readers.
In addition, as a die-hard fan of ys, Fu Bo did not forget to recommend this comic on his own Weibo, and at the same time, Shen Xin's Weibo, hoping that he can re-serialize this comic, and waiting for Shen Xin with great expectations. Xin's reply. However
After waiting for a full week, Shen Xin still didn't have him, nor did she send him a private message.
It was only when Fu Bo was extremely disappointed that he noticed that Steel Refining had been updating at 40 pages in recent weeks.
He is also a cartoonist, so he knows very well how difficult it is to update at this level. It is estimated that even the time for drinking water is squeezed out, and there should be no time for Weibo.
As a result, he lowered his expectations for a reply.
It would be great if one day I could meet Mr. Shen.
Fu Bo thought silently in his heart.
His guess was not wrong. Shen Xin was indeed very busy at this time. On the one hand, she had to draw steel-refined cartoons, and on the other hand, she also had to spare time to read some books related to reasoning.
To this end, he compressed the time for drawing na and increased the speed of drawing lines.
The five assistants also had no leisure.
Zhang Ziyue's basic skills are very solid, and he can take over part of the background from Gao Hang's hands, which increases the drawing speed of the original manuscript by at least 13.
Liu Ruoxing joined the work as an assistant, because she is good at "" and uses software to access the Internet, so she is very familiar with it.
At the beginning, she was a little rusty in cooperation, but after getting used to each other, she gradually integrated into the whole group.
More than 40 pages a week, with the cooperation of six people, it can be completed on time.
As the cooperation between the assistants became more and more tacit, everyone finally had free time to rest.
Wang Wenhong is also very busy. In addition to his own studies, he is also responsible for purchasing consumables and paying utility bills.
The entire studio is like a running machine, running smoothly, which also makes Ganglian's archived manuscripts always six chapters more than the serialized comics.
Yan Fei has also become the busiest editor. In addition to discussing the plot of Ding Shi with Xi Muhan and retracting the manuscript of Ding Shi, she is also responsible for the acceptance and translation of Ganglian.
The weekly update speed of Steel Refining has increased, and the workload of Yan Fei's translation has also doubled. At the same time, he has to communicate with Young Eap at any time. The comics were moved to another magazine under its banner, leaving an extra 20 pages for Steel Refining.
Fortunately, after the re-serialization of Ganglian's results, it has stabilized in the top three on the juvenile eap, which can be regarded as blocking the mouths of some cartoonists.
After getting the new book sample of Steel Refining Volume 19, Yan Fei hurried to Shen Xin's studio.
In the studio, five assistants are painting on the digital screen. Every link of the background, wiring, blacking, whitening, and online dot paper is in an orderly manner.
Yan Fei came to the second floor and saw Xi Muhan holding a cup of coffee, sitting in front of the computer screen, looking at the text on the document, and there was a stack of white paper on the desktop, which should be drawing the next na of Ding Shi.
Yan Fei glanced around, but she didn't see Wang Wenhong, and asked curiously, "Isn't Lao Wang here?"
"He's gone to study." Shen Xin raised her head, "Here's on the right track, there's no need for him to stay here anymore."
"That's right, he can't help much if he stays here."
Shen Xin has black lines all over her head, fortunately Wang Wenhong is not here, otherwise, she would have to trouble Yan Fei.
"Sister Yan, you didn't come here to tease him, did you?" Shen Xin was puzzled.
"I don't have that time. This is a sample of the new book. The new book will be released in two weeks." Yan Fei handed Shen Xin a manga with a black background, "This time the first edition is only one million copies."
"One million volumes," Xi Muhan said in a voice when he heard the number.
If it is other comics, the first edition of one million copies is an exaggerated number, but for Ganglian, this number is definitely not much.
"It's not too much, but you also know the state of the comics market recently. The sales of the latest volumes of several comics are not very good. Although the historical performance of Steel Refining is great, after all, it has not been serialized for such a long time, and , in order to restore the popularity of Ganglian, the contents of Volume 19 and 35 have been serialized on the app for free, and no one can determine the sales volume of the new book. Therefore, the magazine can only choose a relatively conservative number.”
Shen Xin nodded, this is indeed a problem, because Chapter 135 and Chapter 137 have just been serialized on the app.
"The next step is that the app is going to update the manga of Steel Refining Volume 18. Due to the recent increase in Steel Refining updates, the next volume will be released at the beginning of next month. The first edition of Volume 20 is tentatively scheduled for 1 million copies, but the exact number will have to wait for the sales of the latest volume.”
"I hope it will sell well." Xi Muhan laughed dryly.
In any case, what determines the performance of Steel Refining is the ranking of the small book and the sales volume of the booklet.
There is no need to think about the ranking of Xiaoshu. On icfuture, there is really no other comic that can compare with Ganglian. Therefore, the key point is the sales volume of Ganglian's comics.
"By the way, Teacher Shen, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
"What"
"A publisher in the United States is planning to introduce steel-refined comics." Yan Fei took a deep breath, "Congratulations."
"Ah..." Shen Xin stopped writing and looked up at Yan Fei.
This news somewhat surprised him.
