Chapter 208. Can't you pay attention to my sales? (4000 words)(1/2)
Sadako, who was distorted and looked extremely terrifying in a pale long dress, tried to reach out to the TV screen, but her palm was only half stretched out and she ran straight into the screen of Sharp's TV.
She looked scared and surprised to find that she was trapped, so she banged the screen, but it was useless in the end.
Then the picture changed, and the woman who was dubbing the newspaper walked out wearing Reiko Asagawa's clothes and smiled and said that she had bought a Sharp TV. Even Sadako could not wear this high-quality TV screen - high-definition color high-quality Sharp TV, you deserve it.
After watching this advertisement, Higashinoji couldn't help but sigh - Sharp TV does do business.
When he was drawing the easter eggs in the movie this time, he had already expected the audience's reaction.
I heard that after many people came home, they took out the long-clogged iron chains at home and hung them on the TV cabinet. After watching the movie "Midnight Bell", some viewers didn't even dare to go to the toilet alone at night. It was simply miserable.
The movie easter eggs are full of intimidation, and Sharp TV immediately caught up with the popularity and put the advertisements about Sadako that had been filmed before into the market.
I heard that it has achieved good results. It seems that many people smashed the TV and just wanted to change the TV, so they chose Sharp TV to buy it.
This made Higashinoji a little speechless. He actually had such a marketing method to grab money?
The key is that someone is fooled... This is really...
However, Higashinoji heard news when he was in the Celestial Empire in his previous life. Some Japanese people sold half a bottle of mineral water on the Internet, and the price was priced at one or two thousand yen... It was really that kind of very ordinary mineral water, which could be sold at one or two thousand yen. In addition to this weirdness, there was even more excessively, and it was even more over-the-top a lot of daily garbage on the trading website to sell it. The price was also priced at one or two thousand yen. You should know that Japan had to pay for large garbage treatments... If someone really bought it, it would be a big profit.
Higashinoji didn't know whether anyone bought these weird things, but Higashinoji knew clearly that some Japanese people did have some problems with their thoughts.
So Higashinoshi can understand how Sharp TV is taking advantage of the popularity and grab money.
Putting this aside...
Higashinoji turned around and glanced at the calendar.
Tomorrow is the release date for the single-line version of "Unnatural Death".
Although it is not nervous, it cannot be said that there is no fluctuation in my heart.
This state is obviously impossible to draw a comic, so Higashinoji simply put down the original manuscript of the seventh chapter of "Unnatural Death" and planned to wait until the sales volume of a single book will come out tomorrow before thinking about how to draw a comic.
In other words, today is a rare day to take a break from your busy schedule.
He turned off the TV, drank another cup of coffee, and then heard Chisaki Higashino walking to the side and shouting: "As, Asi."
"What's wrong? Sister Chiaki?" Higashinoji sat next to Higashino Chiaki and asked.
"Look at this!" Chisaki Higashino held the piggy bank he had bought again, and his snow-white and pink face half-up looked up at Higashinoji and said, "I have saved a lot of money! I have all the money in it for half a year!"
She was a little proud when she said this, holding the piggy bank and inserting it into her waist.
"Hmm? It's amazing." Higashinoji coaxed her and touched the piggy bank in her hand again.
Heavy, really heavy.
This made Higashinoji feel a little strange.
Chisaki Higashino has rarely asked him to go out with him recently. Similarly, Chisaki Higashino rarely buys things outside, so why does she have to save so much money?
Higashinoji still attaches great importance to Higashino Chihaki. He returned the pig piggy bank and asked with a smile: "Does Sister Chihaki have anything you want to buy when saving money?"
If the other party has something to want, he can satisfy the other party.
After all, Higashinoji is indeed not short of money now... To be honest, his current financial resources are not a big problem to find a place to buy land and build a small villa.
The income from a single book is second, and the income brought by Kumamoto is simply explosive - it is the kind of thing that can be given money to your hands every day while sitting and doing nothing.
But to Higashinoji's surprise, Higashino Chihaya just shook her head: "I don't want anything."
This made Higashinoji a little strange. Since he didn’t have the things he wanted, why did he save so much money...?
Just as he was thinking, Chihaki Higashino touched the piggy bank again, with a pink and white pretty face seriously: "This is the money for Ashi and Lianghua to get married, and you can't use it casually."
"Marriage money..."
"Don't the wedding ceremony cost a lot of money?" Chiba Higashino half held the piggy bank and said, "I asked Yumi, the wedding banquet and the wedding ceremony cost at least 1.5 million yen. There are already 400,000 yen here, and it's very fast."
Listening to Higashino Chihae's bill, Higashinoji was speechless.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan has a statistical survey data. The average expenditure on marriage in Japan is more than 3 million yen. Excluding the Imperial Gifts (Greetings Money) of relatives and friends, the average load of the bride and groom is about 1.5 million yen.
It's nothing wrong to say it's one million and a half million yen...
However, Higashinoji never expected that Higashino Chihaya would have been concerned about his marriage early on.
This is really...
Higashinoji was a little funny, but he still stretched out his hand and touched Higashino Chihaki's head: "Sister Chihaki can actually use this money to buy something he likes."
"That's why I said Asi didn't know anything." Chihae Higashino sighed pretentiously, and a proud expression appeared on her silly little face: "I am Asi's sister, of course I have to contribute to Asi. No matter what Asi says, I have to save enough 1.5 million yen."
After hearing this, Higashinoji said nothing. He just smiled and nodded, and at the same time increased the share of pocket money he gave Higashino Chihaya every day to 20,000 yen, trying to let her save the money as soon as possible.
He wanted to give more, but Chiba Higashino was just a little deteriorated but was not particularly stupid. If he gave her one or two million at once, she knew that it was Higashinoji who did it on purpose.
So there should be some quiet here.
After talking to Chihaya Higashino for a while, Higashinoji also pinched the handle and played TV games with her.
In this way, the day passed quickly.
At the same time, Higashinoji's "Unnatural Death" has officially begun to be sold in bookstores across the country!
Because of its previous popularity, many bookstore clerks specifically placed "Unnatural Death" as the "store manager recommended".
This is a small publicity, and many people who visit bookstores know it.
At the same time, Sakamoto from Mochi Bookstore and Ozawada from Iwakatsu Press.
The battle for the three strong men has officially begun!
Ozawada and Sakamoto have always had a huge fan base, which is their dependence.
But as a rising star, Higashinoji is also not inferior to them in terms of momentum.
This has led to the fact that many comics released at the same time today did not achieve the expected results. Many people were directly attracted by the single-book "Unnatural Death" and the single-books of Sakamoto and Ozawada.
To be honest, this is a battlefield like a meat grinder.
Among the meat grinders, the largest ones are Higashinoji, Sakamoto and Ozawada.
Sakamoto was fine. He was on the verge of collapse in his mentality. His new comics were of average performance. Even if he had a fan base, he only lasted for two seconds at most, and was also squeezed into the meat grinder and turned into a pile of rotten meat.
The key is Ozawada.
This old author who was almost praised as the God of comics by Iwakatsu Press is the real rival of Higashinoji.
"The sales of "Unnatural Death" were urgently counted in one hour after its release!" Someone from the Data Department conveyed the information to the Copy Department, and then after the printing procedures, it was conveyed to the hands of Koharu Hosokawa and many editors in the editorial department who aversion to chills.
Selling 18,000 volumes in an hour!
When he saw this data, Hosokawa Koharu almost had no cardiac arrest.
This time she wasn't really fussy.
But this data is indeed amazing...
If it were normal, Hosokawa Koharu wouldn't be so surprised, but this time someone competed with Higashinoji.
Ozawada and Sakamoto are not fuel-efficient, so they will definitely share some fans with Higashinoji.
The result of "Unnatural Death" is completely fine to say that it is a big seller.
"Maybe "Unnatural Death" can challenge the volume of 1.5 million copies?" Hosokawa Koharu murmured in a low voice.
The volumes are 1.5 million, which means that the total sales volume of "Unnatural Death" can be divided by its volume number, which can reach the number of 1.5 million.
What is this concept?
Comics also have a guaranteed bottom line, second-phase line and best-selling line, if you have 50,000 volumes, you can be considered a best-selling work, if you have 100,000 volumes, you can be considered a popular work, and if you have 200,000 volumes, you can be considered a super popular work, if you have 500,000 volumes, you can be considered a super popular work, if you have 800,000 volumes, you can be called a great success (big hit) - as for the one-million volume, you are a big pillar author like Higashinoji.
And if you have to climb up to one million volumes... that is the popular work of the people.
As for the volumes, there are two million volumes.
For details, please refer to the phenomenon-level comics such as "Full-time Hunter", "Steel Alchemist", and "Cherry Maruko", with sales ceiling.
As for why not mention "One Piece" and "Naruto"... that's because their volumes are sold by three million, and it is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that the monster level is also due to the development of paper media at that time, and the online comic culture has not yet emerged.
It is really difficult for later generations to reach their heights.
Putting aside these off-topics.
The average sales of Higashinoji's "Midnight Bell", "The Lonely Foodie", and "The Winner Is Justice" volumes exceeded one million, not far from the average sales of 1.5 million.
But it is difficult to make a breakthrough.
This is also why Sakamoto said so sourly that Higashinoji did create a miracle.
You should know that the average sales of a comic book exceeds one million copies is already amazing. The Higashinoshi department has sold over one million copies. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle and it is simply jealous.
And this time, the popularity of "Unnatural Death" is even more exaggerated.
"One hour is 18,000 copies!" An editor next to him directly applauded: "Teacher Higashino is really the biggest pillar of Urashima Publishing House! Awesome! So awesome! One million and awesome copies are not a dream, right?"
They also became excited.
There is a saying that one person has achieved enlightenment and ascends to heaven, their group of people has also created history. If a record book of "Aversion to Cold" is to be published in the future, the names of their group of people will be registered on it.
They discussed excitedly, feeling incredible about Higashinoji's achievements, and their voices seemed to lift the ceiling of the editorial department.
To be continued...
