I went viral when I attended my ex-girlfriend's wedding

Tan Zhifei's guess was not wrong. Wait until the bosses of the major comic shops have placed their orders, excluding some that are still in the thinking period.

After summarizing.

As high as 580,000 volumes!

Before it really started selling, the sales of the last Mobile Suit Gundam were broken

And it was before seeing the contents of the manga.

certainly.

This sales is also thanks to the popularity of Mobile Suit Gundam.

One is used to fight the country.

One is used to guard the country.

Therefore, we cannot simply use sales to measure which of the two works is good and which is bad, because the market environments faced by the two were different at the time.

Not to mention that the content and subject matter are also different.

Submit the coordinating sheet to the editor-in-chief's office.

The latter picked it up and looked at it, but he had a calm expression on his face.

"580,000 copies, that's a lot. Didn't the outside world say they don't like this comic? Don't they believe it?" Tang Hongzhou couldn't help laughing.

"When the last Gundam was released, no one was optimistic about it. These people are old-fashioned and have their own opinions." Tan Zhifei thought for a while.

"Haha, they have learned to be smart, but they are still a bit conservative." Tang Hongzhou couldn't help saying.

"Conservative? Editor-in-chief, can I ask you a question?" Tan Zhifei clicked his tongue when he heard this.

"I want to ask how many copies I have printed for the first time?" Tang Hongzhou looked at him with a smile.

"Yes." Tan Zhifei nodded.

"800,000 volumes."

Tang Hongzhou said a number.

Tan Zhifei took a deep breath, then frowned and said, "800,000 copies, with the dealers in our hands, it may take a while."

To be clear, most of the sales channels that are currently cooperating with their editorial department are small and medium-sized stores.

Don't look at how much they buy one by one.

The cycle time that can be sold is not short.

This was the case last time as many as 450,000 copies. Regardless of the fact that it was reprinted twice, correspondingly, it took a long time to sell.

At the end of the sale, their comics with the same theme were all published.

And this time, 800,000 volumes were prepared, which is almost twice as much as last time.

Queuing for a long time consumes the enthusiasm of fans. If this happens, there will inevitably be some negative factors.

"You're right."

Tang Hongzhou glanced at him approvingly, and then said, "So taking advantage of this opportunity, we should also expand our channels."

"You mean?" Tan Zhifei's eyes suddenly brightened.

"When the last Gundam manga sold well, some people probably couldn't sit still. This time I don't believe that they are still not tempted. Big companies do have the advantages of big companies, but right now, our Baihe editorial department is not vegetarian. As long as there is an author like Dreamweaver, our small editorial department can fight with them, and I want to see if they still don't take us so seriously."

As he said that, Tang Hongzhou showed his domineering sideways.

Tan Zhifei was also affected by the mood of his editor-in-chief.

But the editor is right.

An author like Dream Weaver, even a single person, is enough to stand up to thousands of troops.

Think about it, the sales volume of a comic is hundreds of thousands.

Who doesn't look jealous.

In the past, my editorial department was small, and those large suppliers and distributors looked down on me, so it was useless to beg my grandpa to sue my grandma.

But now?

Once the Death Note comic is popular, I'm afraid it's eager to find it.

It can be said where the money is.

Where are these people.

Take it easy.

Wait until Tan Zhifei comes out.

The editors in the office immediately began to complain to him.

"Old Tan, it's a bit too much, you just planted landmines, and you still enclose us all, so you don't have to pay for killing people together?"

"It's Lao Tan, and there are orders for hundreds of thousands of copies. Are you trying to scare us to death?"

"Haha, you guys have such a good attitude. Just now, a comic shop owner asked me to order 30,000 copies. I thought he was playing with me and almost scolded me."

"I'm almost the same, but hold back, think about Dreamweaver's first Gundam, these are all basic operations."

"Don't say it, I feel comfortable taking orders of this amount."

Tan Zhifei saw that everyone was dizzy because of this matter, and he also apologized: "I'm really sorry, everyone, how about this, I'll be the host for today's lunch, how about we go out to eat?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and immediately got up and put on their coats.

If this kind of order volume doesn't go out for a while, I'm sorry for this comic.

April 1st.

This day finally ushered in the release date of 'Death Note'.

Just last night, the delivery manufacturer had already sent all the comics to the warehouses of the major sales stores.

As the fun comic shop with the largest purchase volume.

Unlike last time, Pang Guoqiang sorted out the shelves overnight.

The reason why he did this was because of excitement on the one hand, and on the other hand so that he would not waste time in the morning.

Can quickly welcome the first wave of customers.

What banners, posters.

He also placed them in the most conspicuous places in the store.

In short, customers can definitely see it at the first sight after they come in.

These things were all sent by the editorial department to increase sales, so he didn't need to spend money on them, and it was also good for him to place them.

There is also the exquisite little bookmark with the small cover of Death Note printed on it, which is given to the guests as a gift.

At eight o'clock in the morning, when everything is ready, the store will officially open.

Similar to Pang Guoqiang's guess, today's passenger flow is obviously larger than usual.

Moreover, after entering the store, many customers asked where the comic book "Death Note" was placed, and it was obviously aimed at the author of Dream Weaver.

Pang Guoqiang took a deep breath, and then pointed to the location.

At this time, he was also very nervous.

In the end, whether this work can satisfy customers and whether it meets the needs of the current market requires these people to spend money to verify it.

So when these customers looked at Death Note, Pang Guoqiang also looked at these customers at the same time.

frown

surprise

shocked

surprise

It was the first time for Pang Guoqiang to see so many expressions on customers' faces, and each expression would change after a short interval.

He couldn't tell whether the other party's mood was good or bad.

Basically everyone is like this, which makes him even more puzzled.

The long-term restlessness made him a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.

Finally, after these expressions were rotated, someone started walking towards him with the manga.

Seeing this, Pang Guoqiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Those who can get it to him will basically have to pay the bill.

So the quality of this comic

not bad?

And just as he guessed, more and more people began to pay for this comic, and even started to queue up.

Pang Guoqiang was so busy that he couldn't get away, and his forehead began to sweat.

Even so, the corner of his mouth always raised an arc.

Vow to face customers with the warmest smile.

at the same time.

But all the stores that sell the comics of Death Note basically encountered a similar situation.

It's just that everyone has experienced the sales boom of Gundam not long ago, so the stores can deal with it calmly.

After all, the quantity ordered by each store is sufficient.

Just line up.

Absolutely don't let everyone go away empty-handed.

But looking at the long line ahead, Fang Haocheng who was caught in the middle was extremely depressed.

Since the comics of Mobile Suit Gundam sold like crazy last time, it can be said that the authors of the same period of Qingcheng comics have been squeezed out.

Although the editor-in-chief didn't pursue too much.

But he was still deducted a month's bonus and was sent down for a period of time.

The so-called devolution.

It was transferred to the front line and became a market researcher.

The investigator's task is to keep pace with the times, understand the market trend of comics, and conduct research work.

besides.

From time to time, I have to find passers-by to fill out the questionnaire, and then make a summary and so on.

It's just that what Fang Haocheng didn't expect was that he caught up with Dreamweaver to publish comics again.

For this author.

In fact, he didn't want to hear it at all.

But the comics of the other party are very popular, and as an investigator, he needs to know more or less.

So he joined the team, ready to buy a copy to see.

Long waits are excruciating.

Especially this kind of small storefront, if you go in, it won't be crowded, there is nothing you can do.

As if understanding his difficulty, a young man came to the back of the line and shouted softly: "Is there anyone who wants this comic in a hurry? I just bought it. You don't need to queue up. You can add 10 yuan for a book."

Fang Haocheng was taken aback when he heard this.

Fuck.

what's the situation?

Selling all the comics is a scalper?

Isn't this too beautiful?

Don't say it, someone really wants it.

Counting on queuing, I don't know when it will be, but some people are willing to take out the 10 yuan price increase.

Not long after, behind Fang Haocheng, there were a few people who were satisfied and left with the comics.

"Is there anyone else who wants it? There are not many copies left."

It can be seen that this scalper is also a newcomer, and there are not many comics in his hand, only one or two volumes left.

Obviously, I didn't expect it to be implemented, and I made money. I guess I will have to do it again when there are more people.

Fang Haocheng felt a little pain in his calf after standing for a long time.

Gritting his teeth, he paid an extra 10 yuan to get a copy.

Pushing the bicycle provided by the company, he rode to the small park where he usually rests, and then sat down on the bench.

Take out the comics you just bought, the packaging is quite delicate.

An additional small bookmark was sent.

He knows this kind of thing, it is an old routine to promote sales, and he has done it before.

But since the editorial department is willing to spend money, it means that the other party is very optimistic about this comic, otherwise there will be no gaudy investment.

death Note.

Just look at the title.

It has nothing to do with the previous Gundam.

Although Fang Haocheng didn't want to mention Dreamweaver, he really admired him.

Other authors can't wait to eat a subject for a lifetime.

But the other party has found another way.

Courage is really big.

But it's useless to be bold, the quality must be good too.

But thinking of the team just now, Fang Haocheng suddenly felt that this comic would not be bad.

Customers are not stupid.
