Chapter 197 Activities
"The time has been set, it's October 20th!"
"That's only one week!"
"It's just Chu Yu, in order to cooperate with this single-line book release, the publisher of the Black Turtle and the single-line book release are preparing to hold a fan meeting in Magic City that day. So this time, I came here to discuss this matter with you in addition to taking this week's comics, so I also came to discuss this matter with you. See if you can make some time on that day." Li Xidao.
"October 20th, Wednesday?" Chu Yu thought for a moment.
"Okay, no problem. I will ask for leave for school affairs, comics, etc. I will work overtime in advance to draw both works!"
"What I'm afraid of is that I'll hold a signing party at that time, and it will be embarrassing if no one comes!" Chu Yu said.
"No one, what are you thinking?" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu speechlessly.
"Although you know that you are not paying attention to the outside world, you are now the author of the second most popular comic book author among all the works that Xuan Turtle has serialized now!"
"And how can no one come to work like Natsume's friend's account hold a signing meeting in the Magic City?"
After Li Xi finished speaking, he thought about it and told Chu Yu more about it.
"This time, Natsume single-line book is released. According to the sales volume of works of the same level in our Water Yuan journal in the past, the first edition of Natsume’s friend account is scheduled to be printed for 400,000 copies per volume, and the three volumes are 1.2 million copies. People are so confident that you are even worried that no one will come even if you open a signing meeting?"
"Is that true? Will there be many people who will sign the single-books issued by the comic book in the Magic City?" Chu Yu said in confusion.
After all, he judges others by himself. He feels that no matter how interested he is in a comic, he will not be interested in the creator of the comics. Even if the author of the comic works he likes is holding such an event next to the house where he lives, Chu Yu may not be interested in joining in the fun.
However, the first edition of each single volume Li Xi said was printed in 400,000 copies, which aroused Chu Yu's interest.
After all, that's all money!
He is now investing in animation production, but he is so poor that he is so poor.
"Then Li Xi, according to the past situation, how much do you think Natsume's friend account will be sold?" Chu Yu asked.
"I thought you were really going to be Buddhist! You finally asked a question that normal cartoonists should care about." Li Xi glanced at Chu Yu and continued.
"On a normal point, as long as a work maintains its quality level online, its single-line sales can be roughly estimated."
"From the previous sales of the comics that are quite popular in Longguo, generally speaking, the average sales volume of its volume is almost three times the sales volume of its single-line book in the first week of its release."
"Anyway, according to our conservative estimates of Kurata, I think that the average sales volume of the single volume of Natsume's friend account after the issuance of the book should reach more than one million, but the upper limit cannot be accurately estimated, so I am more conservative. The printing volume of the first issue is set at 400,000 copies per volume, and then the printing volume of the later period should be adjusted depending on the sales situation."
When Chu Yu heard this, he quickly passed this information in his mind and compared the difference in sales of comics in the two worlds.
In Japan, which is parallel to the world, the ceiling of comic single-line books is basically a slam dunk and pirate masterpieces, and the single-line books are sold at 4 million copies, but except for a few comics that can achieve this result, other comics are far inferior in comparison...
In that world's top comics, a single-line book sales of 2 million are already a popular comic.
For example, works such as Giants, Hunters, etc. are all in this category.
This is the ceiling of the sales volume of the single-line comic book in that world.
In Longguo, due to population factors, works of the same quality often have a lot more sales.
For example, Tang Xin's dream world
Tang Xin has been serializing Dream World for three years. This single-line book has been sold to the thirteenth volume. Each single-line book publishes ten-part comics, but the total sales volume of its single-line book can reach 31 million copies. In fact, it is about 2.3 million copies per volume.
This score is already a comic score of an old monster like Tomika in Japan, which is parallel to the parallel world.
But in Long Kingdom, this achievement only made her barely qualified to join the ranks of top cartoonists in the active Long Kingdom.
Note that it is active service, and the old seniors in the comics industry who have already been closed have not been included. Otherwise, even the top comics in Longguo are still serializing comics, they will not be able to compare with those old monsters.
But Chu Yu was quite satisfied with this conservative sales estimate. After all, based on the one-line volume of a single volume, Chu Yu can serialize more than 50 chapters of Natsume’s friend’s account in a year and issue five single volumes.
Based on the sales volume of one volume and one million volumes, the total sales volume in a year is five million, and the price of a single volume of twenty-five yuan per volume is then divided into 10%.
Chu Yu can earn more than 12 million yuan in profits from the single-book sales of Natsume’s friends account in a year, plus various other incomes such as royalties. Not to mention anything else, at least Chu Yu’s economic situation is now alleviated by investing money in animation production.
Moreover, millions of volumes are just conservative estimates of the Black Turtle. The reason for conservative is that Natsume’s friend account has not been animated yet and has not converted a large number of animation enthusiasts into a comic fan group.
Otherwise, if the animation broadcast and the single-line release are carried out at the same time, the Black Turtle would not be so conservative.
But the animation broadcast time of Natsume’s friend account has been scheduled for April next year, which is only half a year.
Thinking about it this way, it will be a matter of time. As long as the animation is produced normally, Natsume Animation will definitely drive the sales of Natsume’s friends’ accounts after it is broadcast.
"Anyway, you should be prepared yourself!" Li Xi said.
"You are worried that no one will come by then, but I think that there will be many people coming by then. I'm afraid you will be lenient in your signature!"
"After all, Tang Xin had only experienced such a thing once, and it has been two or three years since then. When I mentioned similar signing parties, fan meetings and other activities, she refused, and even would rather work overtime to draw comics than participate in such activities."
"It's not that exaggerating!" Chu Yu felt that Li Xi was a little exaggerating.
"Is it an exaggeration to show you, go and see it then!" Li Xi glanced at Chu Yu.
After saying that, he left quickly.
Only Chu Yu was left there to meditate.
The main significance of this kind of activity is the meeting between comic authors and fans. If you really go, it will be the second public appearance of Chu Yu's cartoonist in recent years.
And the first time was at the Dragon Star Awards.
If it is not necessary, Chu Yu really doesn't want to participate in such an event, because the higher the exposure, the higher the probability of being recognized. He doesn't really want people around him to recognize him and affect his life.
However, such activities were held by the issuer and the black turtle, and it is not appropriate not to go there.
It is obvious that people are helping you make money, but you just want to be a salted fish.
"Forget it, I don't think I have any attraction to make people come to interact with me. Maybe there will be few people passing by then. If you do it casually, the event may end!"
When Chu Yu thought about this, he felt much more relieved.
