I Have Achieved A Lot

“Magazine-special” is a supplement of “Weekly Shonen Magazine” under Kodansha. The circulation is about 120 to 130 supplements of “Weekly Shonen M”. Sometimes it is also proportional. As high as 115.

“Shounen Weekly M” is one of the three major neon weekly magazines. The circulation reached a terrifying number of 4 million copies per week, but that was also a thing in the last century. It was falling. In the second half of 2016, it fell below one million, and it continued to fall all the way. By the beginning of 2018, it fell below 800,000, and it fell to 700,000 in mid-2019 and finally managed to stabilize.

The “Weekly Shonen Jump” with the best circulation is also not objective. The king who used to have a circulation of more than 6 million per issue fell below 2 million at the beginning of 2017, and fell quickly again in 17 years. Entered 1.9 million, and continued to fall in 18 and 19, and fell below 1.6 million in mid-2019.

If “Weekly Shonen Jump” had no pirates, it would be great to fall below 1 million probability at the end of 18 years.

As for the “Weekly Shonen Sunday” of the Xiaoxuekan, it has already fallen below 300,000, and it has fallen below. It will either continue to consume between 200,000 and 300,000, or it will cease publication. Is dead.

At the end of 19, the circulation of “Magazine-special” probably remained between 25,000 and 30,000, and most of them were still at 25,000.

When “Single of the Mountain and Sea” was serialized for the first time, the circulation was 25,000. The second time it was increased to 30,000, the circulation this time increased to 35,000.

On the morning of the 19th, after the comic store and other physical distribution channels opened for sale, the supplementary edition of “The Strange Man in the Mountains” was sold very quickly. Some comic shop Boss were surprised to find that every time it sold One supplement of 10 copies of “Weekly Shonen M” was sold. Some comic shops with a low percentage of supplements sold out at around ten in the morning.

This happens quite a lot, and some comic shop bosses are a little unfathomable mystery.

“Why do you want to buy the supplement?”

After discovering that the last supplement was bought, Boss, a manga shop in Hokkaido, couldn’t help but ask for the last one. Teenager.

“Because of “The Wonders of Mountains and Seas”!”

The boy replied and ignored the boss, dropped his schoolbag on the ground, sat on it, leaning on the comics The bookcase of the store opened the supplement, and I quickly found the serial page of “The Wonders of Mountains and Seas”, and read it with keen interest pleasure.

“Are you also because of “The Mountain and Sea”?”

Boss of the comics shop asked a young man sitting on the same floor on the other side.

The teenager nodded, continued to watch, and then let out a painful growl: “Baga! No more! The damn author, actually disconnected here! I really want to kill!”

The comic shop Boss was very depressed. He really didn’t know what good comics were in the supplement of “Weekly Shonen M”. Sorry rubbed his hands and asked the boy: “Can you lend me a look?”

The young man shook his head, then stood up, carried his schoolbag, and then thought for a while, and said: “You can lend it to you, but you have to agree to my request.”

“What’s the requirement?”

“Next time this supplement arrives, you must keep one for me.”

“This is fine.”

“Then you watch it quickly, and I will take it back to show it to others after reading it!”

The young man is very happy, so he won’t have to worry about selling out the supplement and having to skip class and buy comics.

The comic shop Boss quickly sent out a series of emotions: “Sri Kuniichi! This painter is very good! And this style of painting, I really like it!”

The boy seems a little anxious to go back to school. After thinking for a while, he said: “Boss, why not log in to Kodansha’s mobile app to watch it. You can start from the first episode.”

Boss thinks about it, thinks it’s OK, and then The comic magazine returned to the teenager.

“Then our previous agreement remains the same, right?”

“It doesn’t change. Oh, yes, this cartoonist is who, why haven’t I heard it before?”

The young man shook his head, saying that he didn’t know, and he hurried to school with the comic.

Like this young man, most of the fans and readers don’t know who the author of “A Strange Man of Mountains and Seas” is, even if he is from Huaxia, it’s really not because of Meng Fan. This name is fascinated by “The Wonders of Mountains and Seas”.

After Meng Fan’s fight at the Kyoto Dome, the Kodansha at that time was not sure about the future development trend, so there was no publicity about Meng Fan. This led to the increase in the circulation of the supplement, and the steadily rising performance of “Shan Hai Qi Ren” on the official website, mainly because of the comic itself.

Manga shop Boss opened the mobile app, and soon found this “Fantastic Man” on the Kodansha website. Because it was hanging on the new list, he exclaimed and admired After reading the first six episodes, the manga Boss growled: “The rest, it hasn’t been updated yet! The supplement just now contains the latest Chapter 7 and Chapter 8! I even let the boy leave! It’s horrible to wait until noon to see the latest update!”

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I got. The comic shop Boss called the boss of another comic shop. Hehe, it was sold out. !

“I will enter more next time!”

Such voices returned to Kodansha through many channels, and Kodansha also expressed helplessness.

The comic shop wants to buy more goods, which is of course a good thing, but no matter how much the supplement is printed, how far can it be printed?

Now it has 35,000, and if you print it up, it will print up to 50,000 at most. Anything more is meaningless and will cause a waste of “resources”!

Such an increase in printing strength is not as good as…

Meng Fan’s editor in charge of Neon Goro Takahashi immediately knew the information fed back from the major physical stores, and today’s I walked into the editor-in-chief’s office for the second time and explained his own statement.

“Moving? To “Weekly Shonen M”?”

After reading the copy, the editor-in-chief included the feedback from the physical store and the data on the Internet, and he fell into a long time Silence, and then said: “From the data, “Shen Hai Qiren” does have the serialization strength in “Weekly Shonen M”, but “Shounen M” has no serialization slot for the time being, and I remember the contract stipulates It is the update volume of two episodes a week. If we serialize one episode here, China will continue to serialize two episodes. In this way, if we update progress, we will be far behind. This…”

Goro Takahashi was a little excited: “Editor-in-chief, what are you hesitating! The quality and data of the comics are all in line with, even more than the works in “Shounen Weekly M”! “Shounen Weekly M” has at least three The work should have been cut long ago, so why bother to support it? What’s the problem with vacating a serial position for “A Strange Man of Mountains and Seas”! Is it just because its author is not a neon person?”

The editor-in-chief smiled bitterly, As long as you know. If it weren’t for this, the third week of the update could be transferred, but it’s really hard to say.

“Editor-in-chief! As you can see, from the very beginning, we have not done any publicity to the author, and we can still get such results. On the network side, the data is even more meaningless. , The new ranking list is number one. Recently, the total number of hits has also entered the top sixteen. After the update at noon today, it is sure to enter the top ten. Moreover, you must have heard some things about the author Meng Sang. With this title, I believe it can attract more attention! If you still disagree, then I will go to the president!”

Takahashi Goro relies on his old qualifications, and his attitude is still It can be tough.

“Well, let’s wait and see the situation after the noon update! Besides, didn’t you say that Huaxia has already published the first volume of “The Strange Man in the Mountains and Seas”, also look at the one over there. Sales. If there is no problem, let alone the transfer, I can also agree to your request to publish a pamphlet for “The Wonders of Mountains and Seas” in advance.”

“Then, I’ll be waiting!”

……

The first volume of the booklet “The Wonders of Mountains and Seas” has been distributed to major cities across the country as early as a few days ago. The degree of distribution is absolutely possible. The total number of copies sold is 20,000 copies. After all, the first print is only 80,000 copies, and the number of first prints is actually very good. However, after Meng Fan won the wrestling and judo championships, the Changjiang Publishing House, which contracted the Penguin Comics and Comics Publishing House, printed 50,000 copies twice, and the physical store goods increased from 20,000 to 40,000.

Most brick-and-mortar stores have also arranged very conspicuous locations, and wrote like “Wrestling Champion & Judo Champion Comic Works”, “Wrestling Rouqi Man’s “Shanhai Qiren”,” Recommended words for “Iron God’s first original comic”.

Some customers who came into the store were unfathomable mystery when they saw it. Some customers thought of Meng Fan when they saw it. Those who read the comics picked it up and left. Those who didn’t read the comics also looked curiously. Then the probability of buying is not low.

The one who knows the situation most clearly is undoubtedly the cashier at the front desk. In major bookstores across the country, “The Man in the Mountain” is undoubtedly the most sold comic book this morning, and customers buy it every three to five. The comic book is inside the book.

Before noon, some people who first started to shop and didn’t know that the manga author had a temporary increase in purchases after they hadn’t arrived. They were all sold out.

Such a rapid sales volume is indeed due in large part to the reputation of the author Meng Fan. It can be said to have a great celebrity effect. This is like a random autobiography of some traffic idols. It’s similar to selling hundreds of thousands, the difference is that Meng Fan’s manga does have something.

Of course, it’s not all for Meng Fan’s fame. There are many fans who can immediately go to the bookstore to buy the booklet. The main thing is that they really like comics, especially the latest two episodes. It was earlier than the online update, and then went.

In addition, the artistry and style of “A Strange Man in Mountains and Seas” are worth buying and collecting, and there is also a free illustration. The illustrations of each book may be different. There are many fans. So I bought a few more copies, just like drawing cards!

At 11:30 noon, after Meng Fan updated a collar, many people reposted and commented after seeing it. The content has nothing to do with comics and live broadcasts. It is purely because of this. It was Meng Fan’s first bib from the end of his South Korean tour to the Wrestling Grand Prix double champion and the Judo master champion.

In addition to some ridiculous forwarding, there are also some forwarding and selling, but the style of painting is not too normal.

Guyye: During this period of time, I have received many calls from friends who have not contacted me for a long time. I thought it was my conscience who found me to play. At the end of a long chat, hehe asked Meng Fan about it! Don’t you want comics, buy them yourself!

He Teacher: Judo champion who can’t wrestle is not a good cartoonist!

Bai Zhi: I look forward to the early animation of Meng Fan younger brother’s comics, dubbing and so on, and you can do it alone!

Su Qingcen: I am going to buy a hundred copies and send them directly to Iron God’s house for him to sign, and then bring them to sell at a high price, am I very witty!

Yu Xiaoer: It’s not helpful to win the championship, but the sales volume of comics can do a little bit of the scarf.

Tao Tao: I forwarded this bib and asked someone to give me a copy of “A Strange Man in Mountains and Seas”.

The official bib of the “Crazy Primordial Man II” movie has not missed such a good opportunity. While reposting it to help publicity, it also promoted itself: forwarding this bib and drawing 10 netizens to give away the comics and “Crazy Primordial Man II” movie ticket. Meng Fan has a voice in the Mandarin version, guess what role he is with!

By the time Meng Fan was broadcast at twelve o’clock, the amount of forwarding was already quite high. In addition, there was an early announcement in the live broadcast room, and the water friends from the water friend group rushed to announce that it was just broadcast. The number of online users easily broke through 100,000, and in a while, I rushed to 500,000.

Meng Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional about the number of online users who were up there. It would be nice if the [Live Streaming Master] mission could be advanced, even if it’s 1 billion visits. 10 billion person-times can be refreshed easily-and the live broadcast of sports games is faster!

“Hello everyone!”

Meng Fan greeted the camera, then clicked on the backstage of Penguin Animation Network while chatting, and said: “It’s 12 o’clock, I will update Comics.”

After uploading two episodes, Meng Fan cut to the comic page of “A Strange Man in Mountains and Seas”, chuckled a bit, and said: “Sorry, every time it is broadcast recently, it is related to advertising. The second time was “The Strange Man of the Mountain and the Sea” began serialization, this time the “Strange Man of the Mountain and the Sea” was released on the shelves. But there is no way, life is forced. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, I have to rush for the performance. Have you seen this?”

Meng Fan pointed to a new link added to the comic page and said: “Whether it is a webpage or a mobile app, after clicking on this’purchase booklet’, you can go to the page for buying a booklet. Or Open these e-commerce platforms and search for “The Wonders of Mountains and Seas” or Meng Fan……”

After Meng Fan said several ways to purchase, he said with a smile: “I know many netizens online now A large part of the water friends are not for comics, but I still hope that you like this comic instead of me. I have nothing to like, so I look better, but the comics It’s not the same, it’s pretty good-looking, and there are many things! Wall crack recommends you to buy a copy, it’s not good-looking, just hit me!”
