Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 208 Can't You Pay Attention to My Sales (4000 words)

Sadako, who was distorted and looking terrifying in a long white dress, tried to reach out her hand towards the TV screen, but her palm only stretched halfway, and it hit the sharp TV screen.

She was terrified, surprised to find herself trapped, so she banged on the screen, but in the end it didn't help.

Then the screen changed, and the woman who announced and dubbed came out wearing Reiko Asakawa's costume, and said with a smile that she bought a Sharp TV. Even Sadako couldn't pass through this high-quality TV screen—high-definition color high-quality Sharp TV, you worth having.

After watching this commercial, Higashino couldn't help sighing——Sharp TV really knows how to do business.

When he drew this movie easter egg, he had actually expected the audience's reaction.

I heard that after returning home, many people took out the big iron chains that had been dusty in their homes for a long time and hung them on the TV cabinet. After watching the movie "Midnight Ring", some viewers didn't even dare to go to the toilet alone at night. It can be said to be extremely miserable.

The easter eggs in the movie are full of deterrence, and Sharp TV immediately caught up with the popularity, and even put the advertisement about Sadako that had been filmed before into the market.

I heard that it has achieved good results. It seems that many people smashed their TVs and just wanted to replace them, so they chose Sharp TVs to buy.

This made Dong Yesi a little speechless, there is such a marketing method to steal money?

The key is that there are still people who fall for it.

However, when Higashinoji was in the Celestial Dynasty in his previous life, he heard the news that some Japanese people directly sold half a bottle of mineral water on the Internet, and the price was one or two thousand yen. Thousands of yen, in addition to this kind of weirdness, there are even more excessive ones that directly sell a lot of daily garbage on the trading website, and the price is also one or two thousand yen. You must know that Japan has to pay for large garbage. This is really blood earned.

Higashino didn't know whether anyone would buy these strange gadgets, but Higashino knew clearly that some Japanese people had a problem with their thinking.

Therefore, Sharp TV is so popular to steal money, Dongyesi can understand it.

put this aside

Higashino Division turned and glanced at the calendar.

Tomorrow is the book release date for Unnatural Death.

Although it is not nervous, it cannot be said that there is no fluctuation in the heart.

Obviously, it is impossible to draw comics in this state, so Higashino simply put down the manuscript of Chapter [-] of "Unnatural Death", and planned to wait until the sales volume of the booklet came out tomorrow before thinking about how to draw comics.

In other words, today is a rare day to sneak in.

He turned off the TV, drank another cup of coffee, and then heard Chihaya Higashino walking to the side, calling out, "Asi, Asi."

"What's the matter? Sister Chihaya?" Higashino Si sat next to Higashino Chihaya and asked.

"Look at this!" Higashino Chihaya held the newly bought piggy bank, looked up at Higashino Si with her snow-white and tender face, and said, "I've saved a lot of money! All my money for half a year is in it! "

She was a little smug when she said this, holding the piggy bank on her waist.

"Huh? It's amazing." Dong Yesi coaxed her, and then touched the piggy bank in her hand.

Heavy, really heavy.

This made Dongye feel a little strange.

Higashino Chihaya seldom let him go out with him recently. Similarly, Higashino Chihaya seldom went shopping outside. Why did she still save so much money?

For Higashino Chihaya, Higashino Division still valued it very much. He returned the piggy bank and asked with a smile: "Miss Chihaya, is there anything you want to buy with money?"

If the other party wants something, he can satisfy the other party.

After all, Higashino is really not short of money now. To be honest, with his current financial resources, it is not a big problem to find a place to buy land and build a small villa.

The single line income is still second, and the income brought by Kumamon is simply explosive-it is the kind of money that can be sent to his hands every day when he sits and does nothing.

But to Higashino's surprise, Higashino Chihaya just shook his head: "I don't have anything I want."

This made Higashinoji a little strange, since he didn't have what he wanted, why did he save so much money?

Just as he was thinking, Higashino Chihaya touched the piggy bank again, with a pretty pink and white face seriously: "It's the money from the marriage of Ah Si and Lianghua, and it can't be used casually."

"Wedding money?"

"Doesn't the wedding ceremony cost a lot of money?" Higashino Chihaya half-held the piggy bank: "I asked Yumi, the wedding banquet and the wedding ceremony will cost at least 150 million yen, and there are already 40 yen here, and the speed is very fast." Fast."

Listening to Higashino Chihaya's calculation of the bill, Higashino Division was also speechless.

The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has a statistical survey data. The average cost of marriage in Japan is more than 300 million yen. Excluding the royal congratulations (gift money) of relatives and friends, the average load of the bride and groom is about 150 million yen.

There's nothing wrong with saying it's 150 million yen.

However, Higashino Division did not expect Higashino Chihaya to be concerned about her marriage early on.

This is really

Higashino was a little funny, but he still reached out and touched Higashino Chihaya's head: "Miss Chihaya can actually use this money to buy something you like."

"That's why I said that Ah Si doesn't understand anything." Chihaya Higashino sighed pretendingly, and a smug expression appeared on his naive little face: "I am Ah Si's sister, of course I have to do my best for Ah Si. No matter what Whatever you say, Asi, I have to save up to 150 million yen."

Higashino Tsukasa didn't say anything after hearing this, he just nodded with a smile, and at the same time increased the daily pocket money share to Higashino Chihaya to [-] yen, trying to let her save the money as soon as possible.

He also wants to give more, but Higashino Chihaya is just a little mentally degraded but not particularly stupid. If she is given 200 million at once, she also knows that Higashino Si did it on purpose.

So it should be quiet here.

After chatting with Chihaya Higashino for a while, Tsukasa Higashino also held the controller and played video games with her.

In this way, the day passed quickly.

At the same time, Higashino Division's "Unnatural Death" has officially started selling in bookstores across the country!

Because of the previous enthusiasm, many bookstore clerks specifically put "Unnatural Death" in the position of "recommended by the store manager".

This can be regarded as a small publicity, and many people who visit bookstores know it.

Also on sale at the same time are Sakamoto of Mozhu Bookstore and Ozawada of Iwakaku Publishing House.

The Triwizard War has officially started!

Ozawada and Sakamoto have always had a huge fan base, which is their strength.

But Higashino Division, as a rising star, also did not lose to them in terms of momentum.

As a result, most of the comics released at the same time today did not achieve the expected results. Many people were directly attracted by the booklet of "Unnatural Death" and the booklets of Sakamoto and Ozawada's manga.

To be honest, this is a battlefield like a meat grinder.

In this meat grinder, the biggest ones are Higashinoji, Sakamoto and Ozawada.

Sakamoto is okay to say that he was already on the verge of mental collapse, and his new manga scores were above average. Even if he had a fan base, he only lasted for two seconds at most, before he was also twisted into a meat grinder and turned into a pool of rotten meat .

The key is Ozawada.

The old author who was almost touted as the god of comics by Yanjiao Publishing House was Higashinoji's real rival.

"The sales of "Unnatural Death" within one hour of its release are urgently counted!" Someone from the data department conveyed the information to the photocopying department, and after printing, it was conveyed to Xiaochun Hosokawa and the editors in the editorial department of Shihan. .

Eighteen thousand volumes were sold in one hour!

When seeing this data, Hosokawa Koharu almost suffered a cardiac arrest.

This time it wasn't her fuss.

But this data is really amazing

Hosokawa Koharu wouldn't be so surprised if it was normal, but this time someone was competing with Higashinoji.

Both Ozawada and Sakamoto are not fuel-efficient lamps, and the two of them will definitely get some fans from Higashinoji.

The achievement of "Unnatural Death" can be said to be a big hit.

"Maybe "Unnatural Death" can challenge the average volume of 150 million volumes?" Hosokawa Koharu muttered softly.

The average volume is 150 million copies, that is to say, the total sales of "Unnatural Death" divided by its number of volumes can reach the figure of 150 million.

What is this concept?

Comics also have a guaranteed bottom line, the second issue line, and the best-selling line. An average volume of 20 copies can be regarded as a bestseller, an average volume of 50 copies can be considered a popular work, and an average volume of 80 copies can be considered a big hit. A popular work with an average volume of [-] copies can be regarded as a super-popular work, and it can be regarded as a small pillar in a publishing house. An average volume of [-] copies can be called a big hit——as for the average volume of A million volumes is a big pillar author like Higashino Division.

And with an average volume of more than one million copies, if you have to climb to the top, it will be a popular work among the people.

As for the average volume of 200 million volumes.

For details, refer to phenomenal comics such as "Hunter x Hunter" and "Fullmetal Alchemist" and "Chibi Maruko-chan", with sales ceilings.

As for why we don't say "One Piece" and "Naruto", that's because their average sales volume is 300 million. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that the level of monsters-there are also paper media at that time, and the Internet. The reason why manga culture has not yet risen.

It is really difficult for future generations to reach their heights.

Put aside these digressions.

Higashino Division's "Midnight Bell", "The Lonely Gourmet", and "The Winner Is Justice" have all sold more than one million volumes, not far from the average sales volume of 150 million volumes.

But it is not far away, and it is a bit difficult to break through.

This is why Sakamoto said sourly that Higashinoji did create a miracle.

It is amazing to know that the average volume of a comic book has sold more than one million copies. It is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle, and it is simply enviable.

And this time the popularity of "Unnatural Death" is even more exaggerated.

"150 volumes in one hour!" An editor next to him applauded directly: "Mr. Higashino is really the biggest pillar of Urashima Publishing House! It's amazing! It's amazing! [-] million volumes is not a dream, is it?"

They also became excited.

There is a saying that goes well, if one person achieves enlightenment and ascends to heaven, this group of people can be regarded as creating history, and if "Bad Chill" wants to publish a record book in the future, their names will be registered on it.

They discussed excitedly in low voices, feeling incredible about Higashino Division's achievements, and their voices seemed to lift the ceiling of the editorial department.

But soon, a piece of news came, which extinguished their enthusiasm all at once, and at the same time they were full of surprise.

"Sensei Ozawada's new comics from Yanjiao Publishing House have [-] volumes?"

This

What's happening here?

shouldn't

The [-] copies of "Unnatural Death" is already an exaggeration, why is Ozawada even more exaggerated here?

Could it be a statistical error?

The number of positive votes from our readers is still crushing Ozawada.

They couldn't help taking a breath, and looked at each other, at a loss.

At this moment, Hosokawa Xiaoharu's extremely calm voice came: "I think this data is very accurate. Mr. Ozawada has a large number of fans. This is the background of his eight-year serialization."

As soon as she opened her mouth, some editors next to her showed expressions of enlightenment.

It is true that Ozawada's previous manga has been serialized for eight years, and it has always maintained a record of one million copies per volume.

With such a large number of fans, it is natural that he will be overwhelmed by Higashino.

But it's still a pity that the quality of "Unnatural Death" has reached a perfect level, but it is suppressed by the "fan background"

"In the final analysis, manga still depends on the quality." Hosokawa Koharu said confidently: "Maybe Mr. Ozawada can win in the first hour, but what about the second and third hours? Readers are not blind, Teacher Dongye will definitely win."

Yes.

This is a very simple truth.

No matter how strong your fan base is, how much profit can it bring you?

After all, comics still depend on the quality.

Good-looking things will naturally be read by people, and bad-looking things, even if you brag to the sky, you can only maintain the lead in the number of fans at the beginning.

Hosokawa Koharu lowered his head again, looking at the data in his hand, full of confidence in Higashino Division.

Fans of Mr. Higashino will never lose to each other.

So what if there are more people on your side?

Teacher Higashino on our side is all fine books.

Playing the ring is not just about watching the first hour.

There's a second hour, a third hour.

As she thought about it, she became more serious.

Everyone pays attention to Ozawada and Higashinoji, so it is inevitable to forget one person.

Sakamoto

"Obviously my manga is also released today"

Sakamoto opened his mouth.

I just feel very wronged.

I am also the author of the pillars of Mozhu Bookstore.

Can't you pay attention to my sales?

More than 1 volumes, not too bad a result.

　Thank you Nanazawa Yuren for your reward!Thank you so much!
