In December, China's comics industry tended to calm down compared with last year.

Last year, the appearance of the "Golden Paintbrush" award really scared a large number of people. As for this year, the prize money of the "Golden Paintbrush" Award has shrunk by 40%, and the difficulty of awarding has increased by more than one level compared with last year. , Therefore, everyone’s attention has been reduced a bit.

But even if it shrinks again, the prize money for the "Golden Paintbrush" award is 3 million yuan.

Everyone didn't say it on the surface, just grind their fists in private.

This time is different from the last time. The submission will not be closed until November next year. Even after the submission day, you can participate in the next Golden Brush Award, which gives authors more options.

Instead of rushing to create a comic, it is better to create a good comic patiently, just like "Dream Fairy".

As a result, even in December, only dozens of comics were submitted.

"ComicFuture" finally stabilized, with magazine sales hovering around 4.8 million copies.

After "The King of Rock" was restored, the situation was stable, and "The Hunting Abyss" was in an anxious period of contention for second place.

The battle for four or five places is equally intractable, and two comics related to food have fallen into a bitter battle.

"Ding Shi" can be regarded as an authentic food comic. Its highlight lies in its super realism. Due to the drawing of the dishes, many people's appetites have been greatly increased. Similarly, the various types of food that have appeared have also made those who have not studied food before. Readers, eye-opening.

There have been two or three types of eight major cuisines in China. There are also French cuisine abroad, and exquisite food such as Cumari sushi in District 11. Coupled with fierce competition, it quickly increased the popularity of the entire comic.

At the same time, this comic has also attracted many food lovers, and some people who have never been in contact with comics have also turned their attention to this comic.

"Alien Restaurant" is another type of gourmet comics. The whole process is mainly funny and adventurous. It makes full use of the stage of stepping on people and making faces, making the plot twists and turns.

As a part-time chef, the protagonist will go to the Valley of Warcraft to find ingredients. During the adventure, he will encounter many dangers, but relying on the extreme and strength will eventually save him.

Although the themes of these two comics are the same, their focus is different, so the competition between them is also interesting.

As "Ding Shi" is a newly serialized comic, it has always been inferior to "Alien Restaurant" in terms of popularity, so it is temporarily ranked fourth.

The magazine clearly saw the potential of "Ding Shi" and stepped up its time to produce the single-volume version of "Ding Shi". At the same time, it is preparing to release it in the first week after the year.

The manga at the pinnacle of "ComicFuture" is still "Steel Refined". Although it did not increase the number of votes in the subsequent comics, it is not realistic for other comics to catch up with "Steel Refined".

In the recent episodes of "Steel Refining", Skar heads north to find his brother's notebook. Bradley released Kimberly, let him hunt down Skar, and chase the escaped Malgo.

On the other hand, after seeing alchemy, Edward is also trying to use alchemy instead of the sage’s stone to recover his body, so he and Al are also looking for Zhang Mei and Xiaomei, but they are in a fog. water.

Fortunately, Lieutenant General Gulaman, who made up as an old woman, unexpectedly met Zhang Mei who was heading to the north at the station, so he told Roy about the incident and borrowed the news from Abstrand. It was relayed to the Elric brothers, which led to Abstrand’s sister, "The North Face of Briguz," Major General Olivia Mira Armstrong.

Kimberly chased Skar all the way, but was surprised by Skar's way and was seriously injured.

Zhang Mei and Marko, who were divided into two groups with Skayuki soldiers, found the notebook left by Brother Ska according to the map drawn by Ska.

The Elric brothers came to the northern fortress, were ambushed by the garrison, and became prisoners. Under the **** of the soldiers, the two met Major General Olivia.

The appearance of the new female character caused a stir among the readers, who shouted "My Lady Queen".

Shen Xin had long been mentally prepared for Olivia to receive this title. In the original book, she was the queen. And because of the cold appearance, calm personality, and the image of queen temperament, it also fits the reader's positioning. Therefore, , Can be accepted by readers in a short time.

With the Elric brothers coming to the northern fortress of Briguz, the plot of the story is about to usher in the next climax.

Shen Xin believes in this.

At the same time, the booklet of Volume 15 of "Steel Making" was released in the third week of December, and the single weekly sales reached 950,000 copies. Although it was not as good as the sales volume of Volume 14, in December, this sales volume Still arrogant.

Wang Yunze smiled at this number.

Last month, the total sales of "Steel Making" exceeded 2.3 million copies. Considering that the 15th volume involves the "Ishwar Rebellion", there are also a lot of transitional plots. Therefore, the sales of this book should not be comparable. Volume 14. But even so, breaking through 2 million volumes, the problem shouldn't be big, which is almost out of class with the comics on the screen.

Wang Wenhong stretched his waist, picked up the tea cup, put some tea in, got up and went to the tea room outside the editorial office.

At the door of the tea room, Yan Fei was on the phone with a serious expression.

When he returned from the hot water, Yan Fei also put away the phone, but her expression was still not relaxed.

"what's happenin?"

"Isn't "Ding Shi" going for sale soon? Discuss with the two teachers."

"The two teachers are no longer new, are they still nervous?"

"Nonsense, the new book "Steel Refining" was released not long ago, aren't you nervous?"

"Of course I am nervous, and the bet with Bao Dong is still there! However, Teacher Shen does not seem to be very nervous." Wang Wenhong looked up and thought back.

"..."

Yan Fei looked up and thought for a while, Shen Xin is indeed seldom nervous about the sales of single books, and he is probably used to it.

"The momentum of "Ding Shi" is showing an upward trend... right? If there is an animation at this time, it might be able to squeeze out "The King of Rock"." Wang Wenhong said again.

Yan Fei hurriedly waved her hand: "Just squeeze out "The King of Rock and Roll". Now that it’s not realistic to say this. "Ding Shi" has only a dozen words, at least 70 or 80 words~lightnovelpub.net~ before we can consider production. Animation, otherwise, it will affect the creation of the work."

This is also true.

Wang Wenhong nodded.

"Although there are already animation companies, they are already working on the idea of ​​"Ding Shi" animation copyright." Yan Fei added afterwards.

"..."

show off!

Wang Wenhong said silently in his heart.

"However, the two authors actually already have a certain degree of popularity. Coupled with the good quality of the comics, I am somewhat confident. In fact, the person I am worried about is Mr. Zuo."

"Ok?"

"Next week's "Shounen Future", there will be Mr. Zuo's work." Yan Fei's smile was a little stiff.

Not being optimistic about the editor-in-chief and team leader, Zuo Yuan's new work can achieve what kind of results, she dare not decide.
