Chapter 54 Comics Big Sale
Amano Yingqiu was sitting leisurely in the office, sipping tea and waiting for the data from the questionnaire.
Masao Furumura knocked on the door and entered. After gently placing the questionnaire he was most concerned about on his desk, he stood behind him solemnly. A smile appeared on Amano Yingqiu's face.
After Amano Yingqiu took a sip of Longjing tea, she slowly asked: "Masao-kun, whose family is ranked first in this survey?"
Masao Furumura leaned forward slightly with his straight body, and said with a slightly charming look on his face: "President Hideaki, the Chinese teenager's "Detective Conan" you introduced won the first place in the questionnaire, and its popularity is
and the praise index has exploded, reaching historical extremes.”
Amano Yingqiu choked immediately, and the half-drinking tea spurted out down his throat.
"What? "Detective Conan" ranked first in the questionnaire?" Amano Yingqiu's face showed a look of disbelief.
Amano Sakura has already given high praise to the comic "Detective Conan", but he never expected that the comic "Detective Conan" would actually be ranked first, and its popularity and praise index have reached extremely high levels.
value.
Amano Yingqiu has a view that this "Detective Conan" will be popular, but it will not become popular instantly. After all, Li Zhongxin does not have any fame and no mass base.
Amano Yingqiu put away the ecstasy that appeared on her face and said solemnly: "There is nothing wrong with the questionnaire report!"
"There is no problem. The people below have carefully checked it many times, and there will definitely be no mistakes. Because of the popularity of "Detective Conan", the dealers below have unanimously requested to reprint it. According to the current statistical data, this issue
"Weekly Shōnen" will print at least 200,000 more copies."
After hearing Masao Furumura's answer, he waved his hand casually and said: "Go down and announce this good news to make everyone happy. Take the questionnaire report from "Weekly Shonen" and make a few more copies.
, take it to the directors in the company. Also, send this matter to Koda Shizuji in the form of a notice."
Looking at Masao Furumura's leaving figure, Amano Sakura opened her mouth unconsciously.
He wanted to show these short-sighted guys on the board of directors this achievement and give them a few loud and loud slaps.
"Monthly Shonen" That idiot Koda Seiji, aren't you using this matter to spread the word?
Aren’t you questioning the level of Weekly Shōnen editors and leaders?
Now the results of the questionnaire are out. Is your face swollen this time? If your face is swollen, I will give you two more marks.
Amano Sakura remembers very clearly that after Weekly Shonen signed a contract with Lee Chung-shin, Koda Seiji jumped out and openly questioned Weekly Shonen's signing.
He even accused Amano Yingqiu of accepting benefits from Mitsui & Co. The guys on the board of directors held several meetings on this matter, but he suppressed them against all objections.
Now that the results of the questionnaire are out, he can finally feel proud.
The new issue of Weekly Shonen's questionnaire came out, and Masao Furumura read aloud: "The number one spot in this issue of Weekly Shonen's questionnaire is "Detective Conan."
There was an uproar in the editorial office of Weekly Shōnen.
Most comic magazines will only use reader opinion surveys as a reference, but "Weekly Shonen" specifically emphasizes it and uses it as an indicator of the popularity index.
The rules are based on the ten issues after the debut of the new serial, and the readers' opinions of each issue during the period are combined to determine the fate of the work. The data of each issue will be reflected in the front and rear positions of the comic layout.
However, for works that are often reserved for the first time or experience special moments of significance (such as the debut of the first episode and anniversaries), new serials will also be treated loosely for about one to two months.
If the popularity index continues to rank at the bottom, regardless of the quality of the works, they will be cut in half to make way for new serials, resulting in many short-term serial works with only 10 to 20 issues.
Works that do not fall into the above two categories also have central color page guidelines to express the support of the editorial department. This will generally put the work in a slightly higher popularity position than it actually is.
"What? That Chinese kid ranked first in the survey of "Detective Conan"?"
"Is there a mistake? Can his comics surpass Master Nakamura? Can his comics surpass Kawao, the king of the new generation?"
Masao Furumura grinned, revealing an extremely exaggerated arc, spread his hands, and shrugged his shoulders and said: "The results of the questionnaire will not be wrong. In other words, the comic "Detective Conan" is a success.
, and the favorable rating reached 98%, setting a record for Weekly Shōnen since its inception."
"Oh my god! Ninety-eight percent? How is that possible? There must be something wrong with the statistics of the quick report."
"Ninety-eight percent. It has reached such a high level in just a few episodes. It is simply unimaginable."
Masao Furumura glared at Hideko Oshima hatefully and said in a very displeased tone: "What nonsense are you talking about? We have checked the statistics of the quick report three times, and there is absolutely no problem at all.
Now bookstores across the country are calling us and asking us to reprint it. According to statistics from the following departments, it is a foregone conclusion that more than 200,000 copies will be printed.
The sales volume this time is very gratifying, and with this opportunity, Weekly Shonen may even reach the top of the comic publishing industry."
After Masao Furumura finished speaking, he lowered his voice again and said: "Did you know? The results of this issue of "Monthly Shonen" have also been calculated. We exceeded the sales volume of "Monthly Shonen" by 30%.
, I’m probably crying and fainting in the toilet right now.”
At RB, every publication sold will have a questionnaire, and readers will rate the works based on how much they like them.
The quick report is to combine these real questionnaires to make an accurate statistics, and then use the quick report to know the ranking of comics.
After Masao Furumura threw the materials in his hand to Hideko Oshima, he put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "Miss Hideko, I hope you will see one fact clearly in the future, that is, zx-kun's works must be sent to me as soon as possible.
, I want to see the most correct layout and don’t want you to do something wrong.”
Hideko Oshima looked at the material in her hand, and her hand began to shake irregularly. Master Nakamura's work was also released last week, and it ranked third in the quick report, second only to the second-placed new generation cartoonist Yutaro Kawa.
However, compared with the quick report of "Detective Conan", the data is appalling.
Master Nakamura's vote rate was 47%, and Yutaro Kawa's vote rate was only 48%, neither of which reached half of the vote rate of "Detective Conan".
Is that kid from China so outstanding that he suddenly surpassed the established cartoonist with a large reader base?
Hideko Oshima, as the daughter of Hiroshi Oshima, the board of directors, has always given Master Nakamura the best position in the ranking of comics. The new generation of cartoonist Yutaro Kawa has always occupied the color pages of the cover page and the middle cover. This is Oshima
Something that Hong and several other directors had always acquiesced to.
When Li Zhongxin's "Detective Conan" was typed, it was placed in the place where "Weekly Shōnen" attracted the least attention.
Despite this, "Detective Conan" still became a hit. If her father hadn't been Hiro Oshima, she would have been severely punished for such a thing.
After "Weekly Shōnen" entered the 1980s, the sales volume has been very stable. Due to the emergence of the new generation of "Monthly Shonen", the sales volume has even shown some signs of sluggishness.
This issue of "Weekly Shonen" will print at least 200,000 more copies. In other words, the comic "Detective Conan" will even give Weekly Shonen a new lease of life and once again become the overlord of the RB comics industry.
