Comic cheating, dream-eating life

Chapter 104: Single Volume

In the jumk editorial department, Bo Jijiu looked at the data in his hands and shook his head.

"It has been 53 days since the first volume of "Ultraman Tiga" was released. The sales volume has not exceeded 900,000 copies, but 880,000 copies."

In 53 days, 880,000 copies were sold, which is certainly a very big number.

Now for "crow", the single volume can exceed 500,000 in such a short period of time, which is a good result.

But this is "Ultraman Tiga", "Ultraman Tiga" who is deeply trusted by the editor.

He thinks it will surpass "Death Note".

In comparison, 880,000 is a small number.

To sell more than 120,000 copies in just 7 days is a miracle in itself.

I'm afraid this time, the editor-in-chief will make a miscalculation.

…

Yacheng Mumengye Studio.

"88w! So awesome, "Ultraman Tiga"!"

Takagi Akito's eyes widened and his glasses almost fell to the ground.

He looked at the editor Minato Ura opposite him, and his mentality changed.

"Damn, I'm so envious!"

"But the editorial department seems to be a little dissatisfied." In the cafe, Minato took a sip of juice and tilted his head and continued: "The first edition of "Ultraman Tiga" was 200,000 copies, and the current first edition of "Crow" is also There are only 150,000 copies. The editorial department is very confident about the single volume sales of this comic.”

Readers of a work like "Ultraman Tiga" will keep recalling it, so they are very willing to buy a single volume.

"I really hope that "Detective Trap" will be in this kind of situation in the future." Takagi sighed.

This time Acheng Mu Mengye and Minato gathered together to discuss the storyboard of the next episode of "Suspicious Detective Trap".

After chatting briefly for a while, Minato got the storyboard. He was extremely satisfied and nodded repeatedly, saying that he had decided on this one.

However, Takagi Akito gave him another storyboard.

It's a completely different style.

The first storyboard is a completely royal detective comic.

The writing and ink are all for plot service.

The second version added combat elements and was more in the style of "Weekly Shonen Jumk".

It's a bit similar to the movie version of "Detective Conan".

Because their previous series "Roasted Rice Cake with Cheese" could not maintain its performance and has now been decided to cut it in half.

The results of "Suspicious Detective Trap" are somewhat similar to his, and Takagi Akito is worried that his manga will fall into this same situation.

So I decided to add combat elements to enhance the appeal.

Right now, Yoshida Koji was telling Minami Shiki about this matter with great interest.

"This is what happens when a new cartoonist meets a new editor. The boy from Hong Kong and Pune is in chaos in the editorial department and is looking for advice from others everywhere."

Yoshida Koji boasted.

"Then what do you think? Which storyboard should be used?" Nan Jiji asked.

"Of course we are maintaining the status quo," Koji Yoshida said seriously. He analyzed the situation: "Detective Comics is a slow-burning work. As long as the style does not change, the number of fans will slowly increase. Readers of other comic magazines know jumk There are also detective comics, so I’ll come here to read them.”

Koji Yoshida, who talks eloquently, does look quite charming.

In the editing industry, his professionalism is evident.

"So you can't mess up your position. The best thing to do is to maintain your own characteristics. Unexpected changes will be counterproductive, causing readers who originally liked the work to leave, and in the end it is very likely that they will be cut in half."

Minami Shiki has the same idea as Yoshida Koji.

I'm so happy to have such an editor.

"I've also been watching "Trap" recently..."

Midway through Nan Siji's words, his cell phone rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was the tallest phone in Zhencheng.

"Congratulations, Teacher Chun Xia Qiu, the single volume is a big seller! 880,000 copies of the single volume is amazing."

"Thanks!"

Nan Siji was already numb with joy.

This result is very satisfactory to him.

Beyond Eiji Shinzuma.

However, Eiji Niizuma is not at all interested in selling single volumes.

He focused entirely on comics and wanted to compete with other cartoonists.

For him, as long as he has enough money to spend, it doesn't matter if he sells more or less, as long as it can be serialized.

A few simple greetings were exchanged.

Mashiro Takamaki suddenly asked: "Teacher Chun Xia Qiu, what do you think of "The Detective Trap"?"

Minami Shiki raised his eyes and looked at Yoshida Koji, understanding that Mashiro Takashi was also wondering whether he should change the style of the manga.

"It's very interesting. I've been watching it. It doesn't matter if it's not JUMK's style. As long as the reasoning and lines are interesting."

Mashiro was the most understanding. He muttered, "Shinzuma-sensei thinks the same way," and ended the call.

Minami Shiki put down the phone and smiled at each other with Yoshida Koji.

"Now the editorial department is preparing the second volume, please design the cover."

Yoshida Koji took out his notebook, looked at it and said to Minami Shiki.

Let’s get down to business.

"Well, I actually have an idea." Nan Siji took out a setting picture and said: "The characteristic of "Ultraman Tega" is humanistic care, but what attracts people at first sight are the various monsters. I Prepare to list the monsters in 5-10 plots.”

"That's fine." Yoshida looked at the setting diagram and suddenly frowned: "Is this... your painting skills improved again?"

Nan Siji nodded.

His painting skills have been improved to 7, catching up with the plot.

However, because it is plagiarism, the plot ability is still 7 from the beginning to the present.

"What a monster. I don't know where your limits are." He shook his head.

At the end of the conversation, he handed Nan Siji a piece of paper.

The above is a paragraph.

Regarding Hiramaru Kazuya who is on the run, he hopes to contact Yoshida when he sees him.

"Is this necessary?"

"It's necessary! He has already influenced three teachers," Yoshida shook his head: "I sent faxes to all the teachers in jumk serials, so that I can keep track of Hiramaru's movements.

It's a pity that he hasn't been serializing it for a long time, otherwise people like him would be able to trick him into buying a villa after he has some spare money. "

…

Mr. Yoshino returned home.

He is a member of a large club and is in his 40s.

"This brat is reading comics again!"

The worries of middle-aged people include work and family.

Mr. Yoshino's work is going well, but what worries him is that his son doesn't focus on his studies.

Today I was on the sofa again and saw him reading half of the comics.

"Monthly must win jumk? What a strange name," he picked it up and was about to throw it aside to teach his son who has no perseverance well.

"This is? "The First Ultraman"?"

This section is the storyboard of the battle between the first generation and Bermuda.

The fist-to-fist fight looks particularly exciting.

He became curious and started reading on the pretext of "understanding his son's interests."
