Chapter 393: Pamphlets and Sales
Despite the appearance of "synthetic beasts", the performance of "Steel Refining" has not declined, which Shen Xin did not expect.
Looking back, Wang Wenhong also explained the possible reasons. Although some people think that "synthetic beast" is too cruel, the meaning expressed through "synthetic beast" is recognized by many people.
Shen Xin, as the creator, of course cannot accept such an explanation.
The disappearance of Zuo Wei also increased the sense of gravity of "Soul of Chess", but the performance of "Soul of Chess" has encountered a precipitous decline.
Therefore, it cannot be considered from the aspect of whether to increase the connotation.
However, comparing "Steel Refining 03" and "Steel Refining FA", it is not difficult for Shen Xin to come up with a reason - the importance of the characters is different.
From when Nina came out to when she died as a synthetic beast, it only appeared in a short period of forty pages, and there were only a handful of scenes related to her.
In the reader's impression, Nina is just a passing supporting role, although the shock and anger in the reader's heart when they first saw Nina becoming a synthetic beast, could not be contained within a short period of time.
However, after discussion, they also accepted what happened to Nina. At the same time, the scarred face that suddenly appeared at the end of the chapter also aroused their curiosity.
Since Tucker was killed, and Nina who became a synthetic beast was killed out of good intentions, he should be a good person, right? Uh...at least not a bad one.
It is said that Shang Haozhi saw that the ranking was very high, if he had known this, he would not have changed the first volume's release date.
After Shen Xin heard the news, she couldn't laugh or cry.
It can only be said that people are not as good as heaven.
Recently,
Wang Wenhong is also very busy. According to him, Mr. Shang has begun to pay attention to the web comics. Therefore, all editors who have a little spare time are assigned to work, even Yan Fei is no exception.
Web comics?
When Shen Xin heard this word, she also felt a little uneasy.
The impact of the Internet, especially mobile comic apps, on the magazine industry is almost fatal. Even a giant like "Youth Jump" has dropped from a high of 6.53 million copies to around 2 million. Of course, there may be reasons for the lack of high-quality comics, but the impact of comic apps is inevitable.
Although it seems that the sales of "comic future" and "juvenile jump" are almost the same, demographic factors must also be considered.
The population of China in this world is several times larger than that of the 11th district of the earth. Therefore, the difficulty of obtaining 6 million copies of "Youth Jump" is much higher than that of "Comic Future".
Even "Shounen Jump" can't stop the decline in magazine sales, what will "comic future" do to deal with it?
Also, if... No, in fact, with the development of technology, he will inevitably be involved in the Internet age.
At that time, how should he face it?
Shen Xin stretched for a while, leaned against the back of the chair, subconsciously looked at the display screen, and after a while, smiled.
Really, he has already seen what kind of impact the Internet can have on comic magazines, so what is he still afraid of?
Having figured this out, Shen Xin returned her attention to the display screen, picked up the pressure-sensitive pen, and continued to draw comics.
In Shen Xin's opinion, the third place in Chapter 8 of "Steel Refining" was a coincidence. If readers who understood "Steel Refining" hadn't participated in the discussion, the result would have been unknown.
However, this also proves that more and more people have noticed the charm of this comic.
Chapter 8, which worries Shen Xin the most, has achieved good results, and there is no need to worry about chapters 9 and 10 anymore.
In Chapter 9, a man named Enwei turned into the Sun Cult, the leader, and continued to confuse the citizens. It was a foreshadowing.
When drawing this character, Shen Xin was very moved. The voice actor Gao Shannan who dubbed Enwei was the voice of Conan, so when he thought of this character, his mind was full of Conan.
In Chapter 10, Fenska, the scarred man who killed Tucker, found Edward and Al who were sitting quietly in the rain, and chased them down.
Where Scar's palm touched, it was all destroyed.
Edward and Al fought back, and in just one round, Al was destroyed by Scar. In order to protect his younger brother, Edward had to fight Scar.
However, Edward, who was very short, was far inferior to Scar in physical skills, and in a blink of an eye, Scar caught his right arm.
The first time the destruction was fruitless, until Edward showed his mechanical arm, Ska saw the opportunity and destroyed Edward's right arm.
The last page of the comic is a full page. Edward, who was impacted, his body is flying backwards, while the mechanical right arm is torn apart, and the parts are scattered in all directions.
This page is full of suspense, but the story ends there.
The name of "broken chapter dog" was heard on the forum again, and readers expressed their "anger" with their "actions"——"Steel Refined" sold more than 100,000 copies on the day it was released. Affected by this, the sales of "Hunting Abyss" have declined.
According to Jian Xiaomei's complaint, "The Hunting Abyss" sold at least 100,000 copies less.
Whether this statement is true or not, no one can prove it.
On the third day of sales, the sales department notified the printing factory again to print 300,000 more copies.
Subsequently, the sales of the first volume of "Steel Refining" were still booming, exceeding 500,000 copies in the first week.
Seeing the report sent by the sales department, Shang Haozhi slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Steel Refining" sold 530,000 copies in a single week, while "Hunting Abyss" was affected by "Steel Refining", but only sold 690,000 copies. From this point of view, even if it did not affect 100,000 copies, it would be about the same.
After Shen Xin knew the news, she could only apologize to Ye Hexu.
But it is not up to him to decide when the booklet will be released.
As for the 11th district, although the sales volume is only half of that of Huaxia, considering that Shen Xin is not the author of "Youth Leap", the publicity in the 11th district is not as good as Huaxia's. There are more than 200,000 copies, which is already a real achievement. not easy.
Murakami is also very satisfied with the sales volume of "Smelting Steel". Now it is only the first volume, and it has already sold more than 200,000 copies. With the development of the plot and the release of animation, it is estimated that it will be another big-selling work.
Shen Xin invited everyone to a dinner, Wang Wenhong didn't come over because of the web comics, and the four of them had a simple meal.
After the meal, the three assistants returned to their residence, and Shen Xin also returned to the studio alone.
Sitting in front of the cold computer, looking at the pitch-black first floor, Shen Xin also felt a little dazed.
I subconsciously logged into the Penguin account, and at some point, I clicked on Xi Muhan's number. I just wanted to type, but I didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the screen of the mobile phone on the desktop suddenly turned on.
Shen Xin looked down subconsciously, and it turned out to be a text message from Xi Muhan.
Opening the text message, a line of text appeared in his field of vision.
"Congratulations, the first volume of "Smelting Steel" is a big seller."
After the weekly sales came out, the magazine was afraid that others would not know, so it immediately published news and advertisements on Manjia.com and other forums. As long as you pay attention, it is not difficult to find out.
Seeing this line of words, Shen Xin's heart warmed up.
After replying with the words "Thank you", Shen Xin also cheered up, picked up the pressure-sensitive pen, and continued to draw the original manuscript.
