102 Sales Battle
Qin Han didn't know how effective the God-Slaying Card was. What he was most concerned about now was the new issue of "young_animal" that will be released soon.
In addition to stakeholders like Qin Han, there are also other comics industry insiders and ordinary readers, who are interested in the dispute between Kotanshe and Baiquanshe on the "Japanese No. 1 Men's Comic Magazine to Youth" between Kotanshe and Baiquanshe.
The famous comic intelligence media "comic_fun", published an article online - "Furious Fight! The Battle of Sekihara in the Golden Autumn comics industry!!".
Putting aside the title that only Japanese people have innate middle school temperament can write, the content of this article mainly uses the historical Sekihara war as a metaphor to introduce the sales competition between magazines.
The article lists the comics that are being serialized in "young_animal" and "weekly morning", and compares them one by one like the army facing each other, and conducts serious evaluations of their strength, and finally calculates the total combat power of the two magazines.
"There is no doubt that the most popular comic on "young_animal" is "Dragon Cherry" by Teacher Qin Han. First of all, I want to praise him. Teacher Qin Han's painting style is really amazing. In the words of fans, it is an evolution to a new era and a guiding light for the direction of the comics industry. Although this is a bit exaggerated, according to investigations, there are indeed many cartoonists studying and studying the painting style of Teacher Qin Han. Maybe in the next few years, the style of the comics industry will have great changes."
Although the article initially praised the style of the Qin and Han dynasties, it used the technique of first promoting and then suppressing. Next, it began to evaluate the comic "Dragon Sakura".
"It is indeed a very new idea to take the high school entrance examination as the subject and it can attract a group of readers in the early stage. However, the comics limit the stage and story to such a cramped range, which makes the pattern look much smaller. For young people who have entered society and have broad vision, can this sense of freshness continue? Moreover, according to my analysis, the popularity of "Dragon Sakura" is now greatly benefiting from the successful publicity operation of Baiquan Club. It is indeed a shiny move to engage in commercial linkage with the examination reference books. But after the craze fades, how is the real popularity of the comic?"
The article gave the article four stars to the "combat power" of "Dragon Sakura".
When talking about "Weekly morning", the author became much more generous and generous.
"If there is any comic book in "Weekly morning" that can be compared with the sharp "Dragon Sakura", it is undoubtedly the new serial "Court Nagashima Farming" by Hirokazukishishi teacher Hirokazuki. It is also a realistic theme, "Court Nagashima Farming" is limited to student exams, while "Court Nagashima Farming" is about the workplace. Money and sex transactions, power struggles, complex interpersonal relationships, how men maintain a balance between family and career, etc. For readers of young comic magazines, these plots are obviously more substitutable and are more likely to cause dramatic conflicts, allowing the story to proceed smoothly."
After the comments, the author gave "Course Nagashima Farming" a full score of five stars.
In addition to the pillar-level comics of these two magazines, the evaluation and scoring of other comics are also obviously biased towards "Weekly morning".
And at the end, when talking about the two comics that are about to be serialized in "young_animal", "The Legend of Sword Wind" and "The Diary of the Growth of a Couple", the author did not have much good words.
"Looking at the slogan of "The Legend of Swords", this comic obviously follows the dark fantasy route, and wants to use cheap blood and death as a selling point. To be honest, there are too many such comics. I really don't know how "young_animal" makes this comic that is destined to be cut in half? As for "The Diary of the Growth of Couples", it is another typical style of "young_animal", which relies on sensory stimulation and H content to attract readers. It's better not to talk about it."
Finally, the article summarizes it.
"In this battle for the number one sales of young comic magazines, although "young_animal" has been in full swing recently, with sales exceeding one million, and is constantly narrowing its distance from "weekly morning". However, in terms of comic content, "young_animal" is still not as good as "weekly morning" with a deeper background. "Dragon Sakura" will soon be caught up with "Kei Nagashima Farming", and what makes the editors of "young_animal" even more troubled is that they can no longer produce another comic that can match "Dragon Sakura".
Although this article published in "comic_fun" has analyzed a lot, it seems to be full of practical information, but it is actually full of bias.
Many readers who read this article, except for the loyal fans of "Weekly Morning", have raised questions.
"Dragon Sakura" gained popularity today through commercial hype? The author is completely nonsense!"
"To be honest, you have never read "Dragon Sakura" at all. How much does it cost to write this nonsense article? "
"It's so funny. This idiot author actually said that everyone has experienced no sense of substitution in the student days and exams. Instead, the plot of "written cups of tea in the comics workplace is very real."
"This kind of article that has been paid for has no position at all!"
"That's right, the double standards are so good. The author's praise for "Choosei Island Farming" clearly has content and is very good at looking down on "young_animal" as soon as it comes out?"
The inflammation phenomenon in the comment section of the article is getting worse and worse.
Perhaps it was because of the unbearable insult, or perhaps it was to clarify that I was not collecting money and posting articles. The author of the article whose pen name was "Bifengtaro", began to post and explain in person.
However, his explanation is not convincing, and even in the words of Chinese people, it is suspected of cleaning up the ground for himself. Many fans of "comic_fun" also joined the battlefield and fought back against netizens who attacked Bifeng Taro.
The situation is getting worse.
In the end, Bifeng Taro was forced to make a fuss and even made a harsh statement: "If "young_animal" can beat "weekly morning", I will eat the keyboard!"
Then, Yahoo Japan, the largest portal website, launched a vote.
"Who can win the top sales of young_animal and weekly morning?"
Many Azou and comic lovers participated in the voting, and many of them appeared in the voting that were related to vote-making and canvassing, which is comparable to spy war dramas. I won’t go into details.
On the day of the magazine's release, at around 10 o'clock in the evening, the editorial department of Baiquan Club's "young_animal" was still brightly lit.
This time, the magazine sales report was the most significant time since its founding. So every editor volunteered to stay and work overtime to witness that historic moment.
As the editor-in-chief of Qin Han, Xiong Zexin was even more nervous at this time. She held her phone tightly and prepared to call Qin Han to report the good news immediately after the sales results came out.
She has great confidence in "Dragon Sakura" and has no doubt about the possibility that "young_animal" will surpass "Weekly morning".
Finally, the marketing department employees appeared in the editorial department panting.
“Hu…hu…”
The long and rapid breathing makes people anxious.
The editors didn't say a word and waited silently for the results.
"Sales are reported quickly, the first day of sales in Tokyo is 450,000!"
"What is the sales volume of the Weekly Morning this issue?"
Chapter completed!
