My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 143: Anxious
The second stage of the newcomer awards is different from the first stage. There are more netizens to vote.
Many newcomer authors feel that compared to the manga booklet, these recommendation tickets are not very useful.
The real old authors, especially those cartoonists who are trying to win the best feature-length comics of the year, are well aware of the usefulness of these recommendation tickets. Unless a new book is released, the sales of each comic book cannot have a qualitative leap. Therefore, the key to opening up the popularity value lies in these recommendation tickets.
There are tens of millions of comic fans in China, and there are only six to seven million netizens registered on the comic network. Excluding some zombie users, inactive accounts, and small accounts, there are almost two million netizens who log on to the site frequently. All this means that for each individual selection, there are almost two million votes per day, which can be voted for the comics participating in the comics festival.
Of course, even if it is an active user, there are a large number of people who find it troublesome and give up voting. Therefore, a single item can actually cast more than one million votes every day, which is equivalent to the sales volume of nearly 200,000 copies of the single book. .
Take the Newcomer Award as an example. Although the first few comics have aired new episodes in the autumn and their sales can maintain a steady upward trend, the gap in popularity between them is obvious.
"Crime" is just making instant noodles, but when readers see a group of fierce villains who usually turn around and appear on the screen with a cute Q version image, they are pleasantly surprised.
This kind of cute contrast made "Y\'s" soaring in popularity. Although the total sales of "Crimination" only increased by 200,000 copies throughout July, its popularity value increased by 5 million, thanks to the daily votes of netizens.
"Y\'s" is not as straightforward as the animation due to the use of fan games, but it is worse than instant noodles. The entire July page sold 300,000 single-line books, and its popularity is higher than that of "Crime". Increased the value of 8 million people and secured the fifth place on the rookie list.
The only exception is "The Hunting Abyss".
Because this comic has rarely been promoted before, many potential users have not been discovered. After the animation was broadcast, many animation parties found it very interesting. People who had not been in contact with comics before also began to buy the booklet of "Hunting Abyss".
Throughout July, "Hunting Abyss" sold 500,000 pamphlets, and its popularity increased by 11 million. It rushed to fourth place in one fell swoop. The gap with the first "Top of Basketball" was only 200. Ten thousand popularity value.
This makes the readers of "The Hunting Abyss" very addictive.
From first to sixth, the popularity value is within 4 million.
It seems that the value is quite large, but in fact it is the sales volume of 4 million recommendation tickets or 400,000 single-line books.
Almost readers have already decided that the next volume of the single-volume edition will be released, and the entire ranking will be greatly changed.
Shen Xin did not pay attention to the comic network and "NewWorld" after the start of the fan competition, and even when the sales of "NewWorld" exceeded one million, he did not even bother to post a Weibo to show his congratulations.
He is very busy and often forgets to eat. After Xi Muhan knew about it, he was quite resentful. He wanted to come to the studio several times, but was stopped by Yan Fei.
The first chapter of "Ghost Power" was published in the second star issue in August. The questionnaire received 360 votes, ranking second among all serialized comics, and the first one was still Shen Xin's "Y\'s" ", 665 sheets.
"Don't be discouraged, it's not easy for you. In the previous two or three months, you didn't have a comic in the second place, with more than 350 tickets." Xiaoli looked at Zhou Yang, who was twitching with her head down, quietly comforting. Tao.
Zhou Yang was silent for more than half a minute, then whispered to Xiaoli, "Sister Xiaoli, I want to call the master."
The only person Zhou Yang can call a master is Shen Xin.
Xiaoli sighed and nodded slightly.
Zhou Yang picked up the phone and entered the bathroom under the gaze of Xiaoli and her assistant.
He took a deep breath and dialed Shen Xin's number. When Shen Xin got on the phone, he couldn't hold back his emotions anymore.
"Master, I won the second place, 80 votes more than the third place. I heard from Sister Xiaoli that this result is relatively good in the last month... Well, I will work hard, no Proud, let Lu Ning and Gao Ge cheer, I will cheer them up..."
"……"
Xiaoli was speechless, and the assistant looked at each other.
Zhou Yang today is absolutely abnormal!
"Ghost Power" achieved the second place, which relieved the tension of the studio.
After chatting for a while, the three people once again performed their duties and began to draw the manuscript.
After three weeks of selection, the champion of the "Y\'s" doujin competition has been settled. The group of players who won the championship is Zanxiang and Seven Grapefruits.
Originally, the two girls wanted to visit Shen Xin immediately, but later learned that their work would have to have another duel with Shen Xin’s assistant. In order to ensure the fairness of the game, the two can only be able to compete after the duel. Visit Shen Xin's studio.
200,000 cash was sent to the hands of two girls, but the prize pool was not too much. From the promotion of the fan competition to the selection of the champion, the single book sold 600,000 copies~lightnovelpub.net~The amount of the prize pool was also Only 120,000 yuan was awarded, and their bonus was finally fixed at 260,000.
Although it did not meet expectations, considering that "Y\'s" did not release new comics during this period, the sales volume of 600,000 copies is already very good, not to mention, they still have the opportunity to compete for the final 50,000 yuan reward.
In the last week of August, "Punishment" was the first to release the fourth volume of the book. The ranking of the newcomer list changed again. With the sales of 500,000 copies in the first week, "Punishment" became the second place in the newcomer list in one fell swoop.
Readers of "Y\'s" have already been tickled by the latest series of "Y\'s" and the eight fanboys. They are looking forward to the fifth volume to be released on September 7 and on September 1. On September 8, "ComicFuture" suddenly announced that the fourth volume of "Hunting Abyss" will be released on September 8.
For a while, Manjia.com was also caught in a heated discussion, and they speculated on the intention of "Hunting the Abyss", but then Ye Hexu sent out a Weibo to explain the reason.
"The release of the fourth volume was originally scheduled for September 17, but the magazine took into account that it was too late on the 17th, so it was 10 days ahead of schedule. It is definitely not what everyone imagined."
No matter how people guessed, Ye Hexu gave an explanation. Although it seemed like an excuse, these were the true words of Ye Hexu.
At first, the magazine originally planned to advance to the 6th and let "Hunting Abyss" be released before "Y\'s", but Ye Hexu felt that it was not appropriate and wanted to push it to the 10th. In the end, the two sides compromised. On the 8th.
Regarding being too close to the "Y\'s" row, Ye Hexu couldn't do anything about it. As for the operation of comics, the magazine had the final say. Even if he had a temper, he couldn't change the opinion of the magazine.
