Chapter 227: Chinese Are Good at Naval Warfare
Oda Shingo's new manga has almost disappeared from the numerous paper media.
Only comics magazines of the Springfield Bookstore line have authors or editors approving new comics.
Most comic fans haven't taken it seriously yet, and only a few are a little impatient.
"x-on: Ghibli, blogger, don't you comment on "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"?"
“x-on:Fuji山下的丼, haven’t you read Oda Shingo’s new manga yet?”
Many people didn't notice anything unusual.
At most, I feel that there were a lot of discussions and opinions about Oda Shingo's new manga before, but why did it suddenly become quiet?
However, a sentence suddenly appeared on Oda Shingo’s personal YouTube account.
[Silent ban? A certain executive, are you playing this trick on me? Bah! 】
The person who published it was Oda Shingo himself.
This sentence has no beginning or end, but the content seems to say a lot.
After seeing it, comic fans began to get excited.
Oda Shingo's YouTube personal column now has 560,000 followers, and his fans are extremely active.
Due to the full flowering of multimedia, the era of the emergence of all the leading players in the Japanese Internet market has gradually passed. YouTube has developed rapidly in the past two years and has begun to gradually surpass the popularity of the original leader Line.
In particular, YouTube is mainly for young people, and almost all of them are fun-loving people at heart.
Although these comic fans are submissive in life, they may not even be able to talk to a girl when they meet her, but once they have fun on the Internet, they will definitely rush to the scene immediately with a bench and a keyboard.
[Wow! Fire! The previous one was the unlucky Hyakki Hayato, who was unable to recover after being bombarded by Oda-sensei. Who is unlucky this time? ]
[Silent ban! I know that Kawakami Onozu, who drew football comics back then, was banned! ]
[Oh, you are talking about this, I know it. After falling out with Qunying Club, it was silent for two years without publishing any works. It was not until I switched to the Lecture Club that I was able to continue serializing works. ]
[Yes, yes, this is a silent ban. A way to completely disappear from the comics world! ]
[Kawakami Onzono was the great cartoonist who drew "The King of Conquerors" back then, so how could he be quietly banned? ]
[You upstairs don’t understand, it just disappeared so quietly! For two years, there was no sound at all! And he’s not the only one, there are many, many more! ]
[Wow! If you don’t tell me, I won’t even know! After Kawakami Onsosan switched to the Lecture Club, she published a comic that was barely enough, but then she lost all impression of it. ]
[Cartoonists generally have lifelong careers, and many of them draw until they are old! But in the past ten years, as a middle-aged man, he has completely lost his voice! ]
[Is this a silent ban? It sounds really powerful. ]
Comic fans gradually figured out the situation, but they didn't have time to react too much.
Qunying Club.
In the conference room on the top floor.
It is still a small group meeting of the group of heroes.
"Your Excellency, President, Oda Shingo started to curse on his personal account." The new head of the operations department reported the situation cautiously.
President Noriyama Koyama sat proudly on the leather chair: "Let him scold! How much trouble a personal account can cause. As long as most of the comics market we control does not have his voice, he will be forgotten sooner or later!"
"Hey! That's what the President said!"
President Koyama was still very proud: "The little Oda Shingo couldn't bear even Kawakami's birth? Without us, he could only switch to the Lecture Club in disgrace. He later painted "The Kick in 0 Seconds" shows his fatigue! After drawing another samurai comic, he is now completely out of control in the comics industry!"
Although it happened in the last century, it has always been talked about by Shueisha executives.
Even President Koyama, from editor to editor-in-chief, to director and vice-president, used this example to enlighten or even warn cartoonists.
As long as this example is cited, many tough cartoonists will have to lower their heads.
The other two lecture clubs and student hall have also used such examples many times to educate disobedient cartoonists.
This is also the reason why the Yusanjia will unite and block them with a tacit understanding like unspoken rules.
Everyone can squeeze the cartoonists under them together. This feeling of pressing the workers on the ground and rubbing them, and throwing away a few pictures like giving away the money earned is really great!
Other middle-level managers present at the meeting agreed with President Oyama.
"Man fans are essentially consumers, and they are very sensitive to heat! As long as the heat goes down, they won't be able to make any waves!"
"That's right!"
"Springfield Bookstore has many direct sales stores, but its publication share is only 15%! Oda Shingo, how can you fight with us?!"
"He can't defeat our Lord Xiaoshan!"
"That's right!"
Yusanjia’s print media market share is 72%, while Springfield Bookstore’s market share is less than a quarter.
President Koyama became even more proud: "It is already his honor, Oda Shingo, to be able to force me to use this trick!"
"That's right!"
"That's right!"
"That's right!"
The subordinates all complimented him one by one.
It’s just that Xiaoshan’s newly promoted head of the web department is quietly wiping his sweat...
Later, a mid-level and high-level meeting was held, and the operations department presented the latest market statistics.
President Xiaoshan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The sales of Qunyingsha's "Jump" magazine have seen their first significant decline in three months. Although it is only 3.7%, it still shows the influence of Oda Shingo.
Fortunately, President Koyama invited the great cartoonist Matsuki Tatsuya, otherwise the report would be even uglier!
"This is within expectations." President Koyama knew in his heart that this was a loss that should be expected, and he had already estimated it.
However, another table suddenly made him widen his eyes.
The activity of Qunyingsha's website has dropped off a cliff, and the activity is only 48% of that a week ago!
Of course, compared with two weeks ago, the activity was 69%.
Because Oda Shingo's "One Punch Man" was removed from the shelves, the website traffic had a short-term spurt. Of course, it was also because Qunyingsha was criticized for an increase in activity...
However, this shows that the web site may have lost about half of its readers!
Looking at the number of visits and subscriptions to Qunyingsha's website, they have all fallen miserably!
President Koyama took two deep breaths.
Without saying anything, he put the data report of the web site aside.
The director of the web department temporarily put his heart at ease.
There was no way, he had no way, everyone knew what was going on, but there was no other way!
The web department didn't have the support of Tatsuya Matsuki!
On the other side, Oda Shingo Studio.
"This time, I came here to thank you for supporting me, Shingo."
Sansaburo Mikami came here with a fruit gift box to express his gratitude.
"How are the sales of this issue?"
Sansaburo Mikami was beaming with joy: "According to the data of three days, the sales of "Champion" at Springfield Bookstore increased by 23%! It set a record for the largest growth in ten years!"
As the new director of the main magazine, he was much more confident inside Springfield Bookstore.
Even walking inside the company, he could feel that the attitudes of various departments towards him had changed slightly. This was naturally the result of actual results.
"This is the accumulated enthusiasm of readers from the two comics. It shouldn't be so high next time." Oda Shingo reminded, "However, there will be very obvious results in one or two months."
Sankami Saburo smiled and said, "You are as modest as the Chinese. 23% is already a terrifying number."
He glanced at his sister not far away from him from time to time.
It's a pity that Yuko Mikami just greeted him when he entered the door, and then she kept working at her desk and didn't look over...
Oda Shingo suddenly asked, "By the way, how many online voice resources do you have? I want to use them."
"Hmm?"
"Sometimes, comic fans need to be provoked. Wait a few days, aim for the right time, and when the next issue or the next issue of "Champion" is released, you can stimulate things to develop faster." Oda Shingo curled his lips and smiled.
Although the Chinese are modest, the 50-cent water army is still very powerful!
There is a guy in the group who complains about being censored all day long. When I heard it, this kind of good book must be shared with everyone, right? Na na na, it's here, take it yourself.
