Chapter Forty-Eight: Waves
The actions of the Dragon Company have caused a lot of wails in the comic book world, and the novelists who are about to release the comic book series are very high-spirited.
"What opponent? There are still opponents in the manga world! β
They have already claimed their victory before they even enter the comics industry, and in the eyes of these people, the original comics industry is a blue ocean market that lacks story content, as long as they provide content, they can be invincible.
And when someone talks about what to do, these people don't think so.
"It's a pity that his talent has been exhausted, his "Detective Conan" can't make any waves in the novel industry, and only by taking advantage of the vacancy in the comic market has he created a sales miracle."
Novelists firmly believe that content is king, and the first five fiction authors of Dragon Company will start serialization the following week, with a weekly shonen and shoujo manga being released, the first original comics being completed within a month, and a sixth mysterious shoujo manga artist.
Before the first week, the Dragon Company held a grand banquet, and the novelist who was about to be the first to release the comic book bluntly said that the most popular "Detective Conan" is vulnerable.
"As long as I go out, I will run away."
Subsequently, Longteng Company announced that the release time of its original comics was synchronized with Phoenix Company, and once again dropped a bombshell, and the hostility was obvious.
On October 15th, Longteng's original comic magazine "Shonen Comics" and Phoenix Company's "Weekly Youth" were released at the same time.
Some media outlets waited next to bookstores for this moment of history, and they had even prepared their reports to fill in the phenomenal sales of "Shonen Manga".
However, when the bookstore opened for sales, these people were all dumbfounded......
Many readers, those who should have bought "Weekly Shonen" bought "Weekly Shonen", and those who did not buy "Weekly Shonen" flipped through "Shonen Manga" and also turned around to buy "Weekly Shonen".
What's going on?
Aren't readers aware that the novelist has come up with an original comic? It's impossible, the newspapers outside are flying all over the sky! But why didn't there be the scene imagined by the media, could it be said that Longteng's actions were not a change in the original comics?
"Wait, sir!"
A reporter couldn't hold back, he stopped the reader and asked: "Today is the release day of xxx, why don't you buy a copy of "Shonen Comics"?" β
"It's boring, I flipped through it and found that "Shonen Manga" is quite boring." The reader said, in a flat tone: "I still think "Weekly Boy" is more interesting, many friends are watching "Detective Conan", and if you don't read it, you can't keep up with the topic. β
Perhaps many readers have the same opinion, according to the media's preliminary observations, the sales volume of "Weekly Shonen" in each bookstore is four times that of "Shonen Manga", which has caused many bookstore owners to complain to reporters.
"It's all because the news and newspapers are so crazy, we ordered the same amount of "Shonen Manga" and "Weekly Shonen", and now "Weekly Shonen" has sold out as usual, but "Shonen Manga" has so much left, and we are at a loss!"
But there are also bookstore owners gloating.
"I have long known that I can't believe the reports and news, so why haven't I been sung down? But his strength has been tested by the market, only a fool would believe that "Shonen Comics" can surpass "Weekly Shonen" at once, yesterday my wife scolded me for not keeping up with the times, and today she has nothing to say. β
On the first day of its release, "Shonen Comics" in Ninghai and the surrounding areas met "Weekly Boys", and they failed without even making waves, and the situation in other cities in the following days was estimated to be not much better.
The media exclaimed, this time Longteng Company made a big joke, and it was a pity that the publicity before the release was defeated, but it didn't even touch people's heels. The huge publicity and expenses have been used as a dowry, and no one dares to deny the strength of the original comics of "Detective Conan".
But these media outlets are also lamenting that the reason for the victory of "Weekly Shonen" is because of the sales that "Detective Conan" has been pulling up for months, and the detective manga is in the mature serialization period of the day, and it is indeed very difficult to defeat it.
However, it's a pity that Jiang Lang has exhausted his talents, and the girl's comic he launched is hanging.
Everyone believes that he will never be able to draw such an excellent comic as "Detective Conan", tomorrow his new comic and the first shoujo serialized comic of Longteng Company will be released at the same time, this comic does not have the inherent readers of "Detective Conan", everything has to start from scratch, Longteng Company's "Girl Manga" sales were originally 200,000 copies higher than "Weekly Girl", and the winner has been decided.
Many people admire Longteng Company's plan for doing a good job, and today in the field where the shonen comics were lost, they can get it back in the shoujo comics the next day, which is too smart.
The next day, October 16, two shoujo manga were released at the same time.
Wang Zhe got "Girl Comics" and "Weekly Girl" through special channels and watched them in the office.
Yesterday's sales of the boys' magazine made him very unhappy, and today we must see how it failed. He first watched "Shoujo Manga", and the new serialization is very interesting, and it can be said that it is the top level of original Shoujo Manga.
"Not bad, not bad."
Wang Zhe nodded with satisfaction, he opened "Weekly Girl" again, and found He Xi's new serial "Inuyasha".
The next moment, the joy on his face was replaced by horror: "This can't be! How could he draw like this! β
This can't be - the same thought rang in the mind of a bookstore owner, who looked at the female college student in front of him in surprise: "Miss, what did you just say?" β
"Three copies, boss, I want to buy three copies of "Weekly Girl"!"
The bookstore owner shuddered: "No, we have few orders here, and we can only buy one copy per person." β
"What, I can only buy one copy!?"
The female college student was very dissatisfied, and she took out her mobile phone: "Hey, Xiaoli, you and Zhuzhu are still sleeping?" Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and buy "Weekly Girl...... Don't buy? I tell you not to regret not buying now, you will definitely not be able to buy it tomorrow! β
After hanging up the phone, the female college student left with the magazine, and the customers in the queue walked up.
"Boss, can you really only buy one copy? Can't you just be accommodating? β
The bookstore owner shook his head, he was angry in his heart, he couldn't trust the newspaper anymore!
"Those dead turtle sons, yesterday I left a bunch of "Shonen Comics" that I couldn't sell, and today's "Weekly Girl" is understocked......"
Isn't this scene the same as when "Detective Conan" came out a few months ago? No, I should say that it is more terrible now than it was thenβthe queue for "Weekly Girl" is lined up in front of the store!
Which Wang Ba Lamb was the first to say why it was a pity that Jiang Lang was exhausted?
