Chapter 191. People still have to be humble (4000 words)(1/2)
There is no stalemate like chasing each other as I imagined.
All that is to say is the one-hour sales crush of "The Winner Is Justice".
"The Winner Is Justice" sold more than 15,000 copies in one hour, while "The Demon Mecha S" sold 8,000 copies in one hour... This gap can be seen by the naked eye.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
After all, the manga "Demon Mecha S" Hosokawa Koharu has done his homework.
Judging from historical data, the number of single-line books issued by "Demon Mecha S" is 25 volumes, and basically the sales volume of a single volume in one hour remains at about 10,000 volumes, and the data fluctuates up and down.
But no matter what... its data has never fallen to eight thousand copies.
Not to mention the animation of the second season, the comic should have soared to genius.
The sales volume of eight thousand copies is definitely a historical record - but the lowest record.
But what the hell is going on?
After repeated comparisons, Koharu Hosokawa thought about it for a while before he thought about the recent comic plot of "Demon Mecha S".
She took out the latest issue of "Sunny Day" from her desk of Yanjiao Publishing House's comic magazine. Every editor basically has the habit of buying comic magazines from other publishing houses. One is for reference, and the other is for finding out if there are any novel comic ideas.
She quickly turned to Ken Komori's "Demon Mecha S", and then she suddenly realized it-
Oh...so that's it.
She finally knew why Ken Komori's single-book sales have increased so much this time.
Because Ken Komori made a bold decision.
That is changing corners at the last minute.
The original villain was killed by the new villain, but the performance of the new villain was completely inferior to that of him who killed the original villain BOSS.
This led to a sharp drop in the B-shaped new villain's pattern, and the originally fierce conflicts became very gentle. Although the painting was still very passionate, it always felt that it was not tasted enough.
This is not to say that Ken Komori's plot has problems, but rather a problem with character creation.
A good character must spend a lot of effort to make it more three-dimensional with the plot. Even if you want to change the role in the last game, you must spend time laying the groundwork.
To put it bluntly, the character creation is not enough, and the details can be given as examples, such as "Naruto Boruto".
After changing the villain, the entire comic "Demon Mecha S" seemed to have a strange chemical reaction, and the originally good plot also felt particularly weird...
This made Hosokawa Koharu a little silenced.
She had never expected that... Before she could do anything, the "Demon Mecha S" had already lost her power and simply exploded.
This result is indeed ridiculous.
When Higashinoji received the news about Hosokawa Koharu on the other hand, he also unexpectedly did not expect it.
Such mistakes should not be made according to the truth.
Maybe it was because Iwakao Publishing House that was a little confused when he saw him living so well, which eventually led to this result.
However, since you have analyzed the enemy, you should also look at yourself and look at the situation of Teacher Higashino here.
"Ten thousand copies per hour." Hosokawa Koharu reported to Higashinoji on the phone, but he still felt incredible about the exaggerated data.
Is this sales really exaggerated?
You should know that during the "Midnight Bell", Higashinoji waited for three hours to sell 20,000 copies (at that time, Higashinoji was just starting out, and he only had the work "Midnight Bell").
But now, how did Higashinoji reach this level in one hour?
Although the plot of "The Winner Is Justice" is fine, and it's very good... it's not like this... the number of fans is fundamentally unequal.
Hosokawa Koharu repeatedly compared the plot and thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of the reason for such an exaggerated sales.
Just as she was sighing, Higashinoji's voice came over there in surprise and said, "Is it only 15,000 copies in an hour?"
ah?
The word "Cai" is used to make Hosokawa Koharu feel a sense of affliction that is indescribable.
Not...'Only 15,000 volumes'? This sentence doesn't look like something that can be said by carbon-based organisms.
Your first edition of "The Victory Is Justice" is only 150,000 copies, and it sold one-tenth of it in an hour. You don't think it's amazing and even a little disgusted... Are you sure it's not that you have a problem?
As if he noticed Hosokawa Koharu's thoughts, Higashinoji smiled and said the reason.
As mentioned earlier, he always has the type of person who must crush the other party to death if he can crush him. He never likes to procrastinate.
So in addition to the promotion of Urashima Publishing House, Higashinoji even entrusted the Kumamoto Prefecture Government to help promote his comic "The Winner Is Justice" on Kumamoto's official website.
I have to say that the Kumamoto Prefecture Government is also very concerned about this. Not only did it help promote it on the official website, but it even made a special trip to take a photo of Kumamoto holding the poster board of "The Victor is Justice" and hang it on the official website.
How much traffic is Kumamoto?
This can be seen from the Kumamoto stickers, pendants and mobile phone chains on the girl's shoulder bags on the streets and alleys.
After the last round of promotion led by Higashinoji, the "Tungino Group" became aware of it, abandoning the traditional publicity method of the past, imitating Higashinoji, it has been promoted several times, and the results are quite good.
In addition, there are many advertisements about Kumamoto Bear on the Shinkansen now... The mascot Kumamoto Bear has finally begun to gradually conquer the people of the island country like in his previous life.
After the promotion of Kumamoto's official website, many people will naturally attract to buy the comics of Higashinoji, the "Father of Kumamoto's Father".
Originally, Higashinoji thought it was expected to exceed 20,000 volumes, but he didn't expect that he was still missing 5,000 volumes.
"It's true that it's still a bit difficult for fans to buy across the border." Higashinoji said to Hosokawa Koharu on the other side of the phone.
Hosokawa Koharu moved his mouth, and suddenly he couldn't say anything.
It is indeed a bit difficult to get fans to buy across the border... But even so, 15,000 copies are already amazing.
But no matter what.
The sales volume of "The Winner Is Justice" can be regarded as completely slapped in "The Demon Mecha S".
For example, the roller "The Winner Is Justice" presses the motorcycle of "The Demon Mecha S" into thin slices, and then repeatedly crushes it.
After all, this is one hour of sales.
The sales volume will decay more and more as the product goes backwards... "The Demon Mecha S" is almost impossible to surpass Higashinoji's "The Winner Is Justice".
This can be a celebration banquet, and it has to be held in large quantities.
At least when the editor-in-chief Urajima got this data, he couldn't help but stand up and announced, "Today I will hold a work party, there will be a barbecue after get off work, and come over if you have time."
Urashima Publishing House really exclaimed a vent this time.
Why is he unhappy when the other party took the initiative to provoke the fight and then lost like this?
On the other side, Rock Corner Publishing House.
Gambling with dogs has nothing - this sentence is probably not only used to describe gambling with dogs, but also to describe Yamao editor-in-chief of Yamao Publishing House.
Looking at the hourly data in front of him, Editor-in-Chief Yamano took a deep breath, then let out a heavy breath, then stretched out his hands, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, then put his glasses on and looked back on this line of data.
Finally... he put down this data sheet, and he felt inexplicably half-floating, very dreamy.
It's really dreamy.
He knew before that he might fall behind, but he never thought he would fall behind to the point where he was crushed to the point of being crushed by someone.
After all, there is animation promotion, which makes Higashinoji twice as far ahead... It's too exaggerated.
"Is it true that the reason for changing corners at the last minute?" Editor-in-chief Yamano thought about it and the only reason was that.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have become like this.
But thinking about it on the other hand, Higashinoji has a total sales volume of more than 15,000 copies. Even if "Demon Mecha S" performs normally, it will definitely not be able to compare in the end...
As he thought about it, he became a little calmer.
There is no way, no way... It’s not that we don’t work hard.
But after working hard, we had a small pistol, and the other party suddenly took out a Gatlin.
"The Winner Is Justice" sold this hourly, and Ken Komori's comics have completely become a foil - although they have also set records, they are just the lowest record in history.
I really don’t know how the comic author who became a monk halfway through the road took out so many excellent comic plots from his mind.
Thinking of this, Editor-in-Chief Shanye looked at his editorial department again.
It is similar to Urashima Publishing House, and the editorial department of Iwakao Publishing House is also in a furious situation.
Many people discussed Higashinoji and also discussed Koharuhiro Hosokawa.
Because Higashinoji is the author under Koharu Hosokawa, the achievements of the manga author are basically tied to the editor.
Previously, Yamano Editor-in-Chief once commented on Hosokawa Koharu, saying that she is an editor with no talent...
Now it seems that this conclusion is a bit early.
Hosokawa Koharu's evaluation in the industry has gradually improved.
Needless to say, the person involved, Ken Komori was in a mood. Looking at the dismal sales volume, he could only sigh. At the same time, he picked up the "Aversion to Chill" at his hand, and couldn't help but nod while watching it.
Higashinoji is really amazing, he lost this time...
......
