Zongman: Why is your comic full of knives?

Chapter 68

There is no doubt that in just one day,"Madoka Magica" completely changed August into its own shape.

Readers who have finished reading the second volume are discussing it crazily under Nangong Mu's SNS account, in various two-dimensional forums, and in groups of like-minded people!

Some are simply discussing the plot of"Madoka Magica", some are discussing the settings in"Madoka Magica" that amazed them, and some feel sorry that"Madoka Magica" has ended like this.

However.

There are more people who were hurt by the knives in the second volume of"Madoka Magica", accusing the old thief of being excessive and heartless!

Such a wide discussion has successfully attracted those passers-by who don't know the truth.

At the same time, it also makes those fans who didn't buy the book even more painful.

After all.

No matter how detailed the people on the Internet describe the subsequent plot, they really can't empathize without seeing the scenes with their own eyes.

Even if they know in advance that their favorite characters are dead......In fact, that will only make them look forward to it more!

Don't doubt it, Japanese mourning is popular.

In the culture, there is a common feeling of pity and mourning for the ephemeral things.

Coupled with the characteristics of young audiences who are generally sad about the passing of time, this country particularly admires works full of knives!

Of course.

After being hurt, they will generally curse the author a few words.

But when the other party opens a new pit, they will still be eager to step into it.

In fact. It's a very simple truth.

If readers can feel heartbroken because of the death of a character, it is enough to show the excellence of this work.

If you don't feel anything about a book, no matter how many characters die, readers will not have any reaction.

Maybe a few people will curse that the author has a serious disease and actually wrote the character to death.

Most people will just silently abandon the book because the content is not outstanding and there are such depressing scenes.

In short, if the novel is well written (the comics are well drawn), then it means: damn dog author, you have no heart!!

You should curse, but you should continue to read.

If a novel is poorly written (or comics are poorly drawn), then it is: what a stupid author, what shit he wrote (drew)!!

So.

It is never a problem to make mistakes in a work.

The key to the problem is the quality of the work!

(ps: cough cough, don’t substitute it into online literature, which is originally used for relaxation and entertainment. Isn’t it uncomfortable to write these?)

After the sublimation of the second volume, the current"Madoka Magica" can be said to have exploded in both word of mouth and sales!

I don’t know how many people in the industry envy it.

But after reading the second volume, there is nothing to say.

Excellent works can not only conquer readers, but also conquer their peers.

Magical girls are witches;

Kyubey, the incubator who maintains the equal distribution of cosmic energy;

Homura Akemi, who has been through countless timelines and experienced countless despair for Madoka alone; and Madoka, the witch who transformed herself into a god in the body of an ordinary person and promised to destroy countless timelines in the past and future in order to prevent everyone from despair!!

These settings make this work so amazing in the eyes of these authors!

However...

"Pity"

"Yes! With this setting, even if we draw more than ten volumes, it won’t be a problem, right?"

"Only Shueisha has the courage to let such a work end."

"I heard the author is still a high school student? Sure enough, he is so naive because he is too young!"

"Hey, it’s good enough for high school students to make money on their own, how could they think about whether it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create such a stunning work! ? It’s normal not to cherish it."

"He only knows how to waste his talent. He won't go far."

"If it were me, wouldn't I be able to fleece the fans?"

The excellence of the work prevents these colleagues from criticizing it, but it does not prevent them from directly attacking the work itself.

It is not difficult to see their envy, jealousy and hatred in these sour words.

And this has no other use except to show their incompetence.

After all, there are always many sober people in this world, and these people know one thing very clearly!

That is..

"But his second work has been serialized in Shueisha?

The current reputation is also very good!

Why do you think that without this work, others can't draw other things! ?"

"After all, others have achieved such great success in high school, but you guys haven't created a work as influential as"Magic Circle" yet! '?"

"Draw such an influential work as"Magic Circle"? You think too highly of these guys, don't you? Can they get the qualification to be serialized in"Weekly Shonen Jump"! ?"

Of course.

These disturbances on the Internet have nothing to do with Nangong Mu directly.

Apart from the replies visible to the naked eye under SNS, he will not spend extra time to pay attention to forums, comics fan groups, etc.

On the second day of the release of the second volume of"Magic Circle", that is, on the day of the month.

Shueisha, Minano Matoi's office

"Xiao Yinsha, could you sit quietly for a while?"

"You're almost dazzling my eyes."

Yinsha, who was walking back and forth, saw Zhang's face turn red and apologized:

"Sorry, Editor-in-Chief Minano."

Then he walked to the sofa and sat down.

But within two seconds, the editor's legs began to shake restlessly.

Minano Chan, who noticed this scene, couldn't help but sigh.

A helpless smile appeared on his face.

It's not difficult to understand Yinsha's current mood.

After all, even if she has been in the industry for many years, she is looking forward to it!

"I don't know what the first-day sales will be."

Everyone in the company has heard about the printing department's phone being flooded with calls yesterday.

The director of the printing department complained to her about the hard work during the day.

It took a big meal to successfully send him off.

Yesterday's popularity was of course not deceiving people.

The key now is how far it can go in the end.

"Ding-ling-ling.

The phone on the table broke the silence in the room.

Yinsha saw Zhang stand up from his seat, and then realized that this was the office of editor-in-chief Minano. He smiled embarrassedly, then looked at Minano with great expectation, and waited quietly.

Minano's eyes lit up, and he answered the phone calmly.

"This is Minano"

"Yeah, okay, I got it."

"sorry to bother you"

"Don't worry, you will also be included in the feast."

"Want to take advantage of the opportunity to raise the price? Then don't tell me the sales volume so quickly~"

"I know you are very busy and have other data to report. I won't keep you any longer."

He hung up the phone.

Seeing Yinsha Jianzhang's expression of wanting to ask but not daring to, Jianye Chan felt a little amused.

Then he didn't tease her and said directly:

"《The first-day sales of the second volume of"Magic Circle" have been counted, 46,786 copies."

This data may have a certain error, but it won't be too far off. At most, it's only a few hundred copies.

After hearing the exact number, Yinsha saw Zhang's heart tremble, and he said tremblingly:"How many...How many!?"

Jian Ye Chan smiled helplessly, but didn't care about the other party's loss of composure, and repeated again:"You didn't hear it wrong, 46786 copies!"

"！！"

Yinsha saw Zhang was dumbfounded, with a look of disbelief on his face.

After a long while, she came to her senses and trembled as she spoke:"All...Edited by Minano"

"If I remember correctly, the sales of the first volume of"Magic Circle" in the first week was only about 60,000! ?"

Nearly 50,000 copies were sold in one day.

This data must be wrong!?

Minano Matoi saw what Yinsha was thinking at a glance.

He smiled and said,"Don't worry, little Yinsha"

"The other party dared to say this data, it must have been confirmed many times"

"If you make such a big mistake, your bonus will be deducted a lot."

"Hehe."

Yinsha saw Zhang react immediately and realized how big a problem he had just said. Wasn't it the same as questioning the other person's job?

Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the room. He scratched his head and laughed dryly,"Ahahaha"

"I just think it's incredible, there's no other meaning"

"Nearly 50,000 copies sold on the first day! It’s incredible!

Minano nodded.

That’s right. (To read the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

This data can really be said to be incredible!

You know, some less popular comics, even if the single volume is released for half a year, may not have such a high sales volume.

《The progress of"Magic Circle" was completed in one day, which took others half a year.

Even she, the editor-in-chief with many years of experience, found it unbelievable.

But after thinking about it carefully, it is not completely unacceptable.

"After all, it is summer vacation now, students have time and extra money in their wallets."

"Coupled with the advance disclosure of Mr. Nangong on SNS and the company's strong promotion, the data on the first day was a bit exaggerated, but not completely unacceptable."

In other words, it is equivalent to the fans who would have hesitated and waited for a while, and all the fans who would have waited and watched for a while lost that waiting period. They paid directly on the first day.

"Subsequent sales will definitely decline significantly."

"Even so, the second volume of"Magic Circle" will definitely be the best-selling new work this month!!"

Looking at the excited Otosaga, Minano nodded with a smile.

Although it is easy to have accidents when opening champagne halfway, such sales on the first day are enough to make other works of the same period despair.

At least, even she doesn't know how to lose!

"Editor-in-Chief Minano, I will go tell Teacher Nangong the good news now!!"

"Go ahead."

Minano Chan nodded:"The editor-in-chief might be waiting for me to come over now."

After the excitement of the single volume being released yesterday,

Nangong Mu didn't work hard today. He lay lazily on the sofa, enjoying the coolness brought by technology.

The phone rang.

He slowly picked it up and answered it.

"Hello, this is Nangong Mu"

"Sound sand editor"

"Oh, yesterday’s sales figures are out?"

"Why are you so calm? Well, you said the sales figures have already been released, so even if I'm not excited now, the first day sales figures won't change, right? ?"

"Besides, yesterday's fans were unprecedentedly enthusiastic. Just looking at their replies on my SNS took me 6 hours."

"With such popularity, no matter how hard I think about it, I can't imagine that"Magic Circle" will fail."

"Am I boring? Well, forget about the details and tell me the final sales. I don’t want to waste the editor’s time and phone bills!"

"46786 copies?"

"Okay, I know"

"Not excited? How could it be possible? I am so excited right now that I am almost in tears."

"I never lie."

"Okay, okay, I'll hang up first. Please remember to come and get the latest episode of"Flower Name" by Yinsha Editor." Ignoring

Yinsha who was a little mad on the other end of the phone,

Nangong Mu decisively hung up the phone.

"'~46786 copies?'

He repeated the number and smiled.

"Really good!"

"I should be considered a semi-best-selling author now, right?"

Touching his chin, his hand involuntarily opened the group he joined when he won the Tezuka Award.

At this moment, many people in it were discussing

"Two months! Two whole months! Finally, I finished revising the work according to the editor's requirements!"

"I envy the boss, who is still in pain revising the manuscript"

"Remember it was going to be released in September? Isn’t it already August?!"

"What can I do? I am also desperate! I have not been lazy in the past two months!!"

Looking at the discussion of the same period, Nangong Mu was also stunned.

Then he reacted.

Tezuka��Many of the award-winning works are short stories, so a related magazine will be launched later to publish the Tezuka Award-winning works.

Even works like"Magic Circle" that have been serialized in"Weekly Shonen Jump" and even published as a single volume.

The first episode will also be published there.

It can be regarded as a small promotion.

Of course.

It is of no use to Nangong Mu.

While Nangong Mu was stunned, several more messages appeared in the group.

"I really envy the Warrior of Love (omitted) teacher. His work has not only been serialized in a magazine, but also published in two volumes."

"Obviously, there is only one ranking difference between the selected and semi-selected awards, but in terms of ability, I am countless times worse than the teacher!!"

"Speaking of the second volume that was released yesterday, have you bought it to read?"

"certainly!"

"Damn, I got up too late and didn't buy it! I never thought it would be so popular!! Can someone lend it to me?"

"Then you should wait for the second batch. The second volume of"Magic Circle" is really amazing! There are many things in it that are worth studying!!"

"+1"

"I really want to open the teacher's skull to see what his brain looks like."

"！！"

"horrible!"

"Are you a devil!?"

Nangong Mu, who was peeking at the screen, had a smile on his face.

I didn't realize that these people at the same time were so nice to listen to (Li's).

Keep praising me! I can bear it!!

As for the one who opened the skull to take a look, forget it, it's a bit scary, please don't get involved with me!

"By the way,"Magic Circle" was selling so well yesterday, and I don’t know how much the first-day sales will be. Does anyone have inside information?!"

"No, just curious"

"Curious +1"

These guys are really something.

However, since you have asked so sincerely, I hate to see other people being embarrassed by these questions, so I will be kind enough to help answer them!

"Just counted, the first day sales of the second volume is 46786 copies, take it, you're welcome"

"46786 copies? Brother, you didn't accidentally type an extra digit! ?"

"Idiot! Why don't you check the name of the spokesperson first!!"

"Holy shit!! It’s the warrior teacher of love!!"

"Front row worship boss!!"

"Is there anything missing from the boss's legs?!"

"Teacher, I want to learn to draw!! Warrior of love and hope"

"What should the teacher do to become as good as you? He draws well, quickly, and looks so handsome!!"Warrior of love and hope"

Nangong Mu had a headache looking at these AT messages.

You guys should focus on the key points!!

So these 40-plus sales are worthless in your eyes, right? ? Why are you all paying attention to me!

But what the guy said at the end was not bad, he has some vision, and he deserves praise!
