A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 175 Sales Data

Just like last week, the topic of initial D is still very high in this week's "Beizhou" comic periodical, but fans are discussing and discussing it, and the topic has changed slightly.

After all, if a group of Two-dimensional people can suddenly digress when discussing a certain excellent work, then they must be talking about another excellent work.

Initial D has only been on sale for two weeks now, and its fame has only fermented in the circle of Beizhou comic journals.

In the case of the magic circle, everyone will be a fan of the Dragon Kingdom Two-dimensional.

The journal order of the second chapter of Initial D was released at the speed of light in the early morning of the next day.

It was eighth last week.
This week, it's sixth.

And the score also rose to 9.2 from 9.4 last week.

This increase in data made all the editors in Beizhou Comic Club look solemn.

They know exactly what that means.

After this week's report data came out, several senior executives of the editorial department stayed in the conference room for a meeting.

"So, judging from the data of the first two episodes of Initial D, I think the development potential of this work is huge, and our comic agency should devote more resources to it."

After finishing his speech for half an hour, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hu Yi sat down slowly with an elegant expression.

Today, he can be said to be full of ambition.

There is nothing better than a month ago, under heavy pressure, using privileges to forcefully send Initial D to the serialization seat, and after being criticized by many people in the comic book club, now the word-of-mouth scores of Initial D's works have both exploded.

From the very beginning, he felt that after initial D was serialized for a period of time, it might rise to the top eight in the journal.

However, the first episode of this work is eighth, and the second episode is sixth.

This result directly caused Hu Yi to have other thoughts in her heart.

The top three works in the "Beizhou" periodical are all top-level works that have sold more than [-] million comic volumes in China. Their top three are unshakable.

As the three major pillars of comics in periodicals, their top three monopoly status has been three years, and no other works have challenged it.

However, Hu Yi felt that with the initial development of Initial D, the popularity might soon rise and fall to the fourth place in the journal.

If we say that the three pillar comics "The Forbidden Gate", "Winter Miracle" and "Shen Paradise" in the comic periodical of "Beizhou" are the stars of this periodical.

Then Hu Yi must hope that the initial D signed by herself will become the number one in the world.

Of course, if Xia Yan knew Hu Yi's thoughts, he would definitely complain in his heart that as the deputy editor of the comic book club, his imagination was not rich enough, so he didn't dare to make a bold guess.

But in fact, this is just like the island country comics in the parallel world. No matter how popular your new comics are, and no matter how bad the performance trend is, it is difficult for anyone to think that this work will have a chance to surpass One Piece in popularity.

These are all influenced by inertial thinking.

The meeting in the comic book club ended soon. Hu Yi, as the deputy editor-in-chief of the editorial department, fought for some publicity resources for the works she signed. Who can refute without a legitimate reason?

The resolution on additional promotional resources for Initial D was quickly passed.

This is the benefit of having a competent, well-connected, and well-connected co-editor in the book club.

Xia Yan chooses a grassroots editor to cooperate with. First of all, it is difficult to pass the initial D at the serialization meeting. After all, this is Beizhou Comic Club. Tens of millions of interests are involved, and the quality of the work is only one of the factors that can be serialized.

As the painter of the initial D, Mo Ran naturally stared at the various data and online reviews of this work every day.

But Xia Yan is different. He has a lot of work and is very busy.

The first volume of Magical Girl Madoka Magica, which is the first week of animation bd/dvd sales data of the first two episodes, has been released.

"Magic Girl Madoka, the first week of BD sales of the first volume. 478069."

When the employees of the company read out this data, all members of the entire company took a collective breath.

Although bd/dvd is one of the important return channels for an animation, in fact, their sales are not particularly high.

After all, everyone has watched the plot on TV, and many people are reluctant to pay.

So normally, for an animation with normal popularity, it is normal for BD letter to sell tens of thousands of copies.The sales volume of popular animations in Longguo is only hundreds of thousands of copies, and only the very, very powerful animations will have an average volume of more than one million copies.

The sales volume of the first volume of Magical Girl Madoka Magica is too exaggerated.

The sales volume in the first week was 47 copies, and the total sales volume of the first volume will exceed one million.

Moreover, the audience is not stupid, they have watched the TV animation, they must know which episode of this animation is the best and the most beautiful, so they will only buy the bd that contains the content of this episode.

As we all know, the content of the first two episodes of the first volume of Magical Girl Madoka Magica is the whole work, relatively speaking, there is no explosive content.

But the BDs of the first and second episodes have a high probability of eventually selling 100 million copies.

The third episode of Headless Senior?
The sixth episode where the essence of Magical Girl Madoka is revealed, and after the sixth episode, it has become more and more powerful and gradually surpassed all the plots. How much will their bd sales volume be?
"Okay, everyone knows the data." Xia Yan coughed and looked at everyone in the conference room.

"Magic Girl Madoka's disc sales are pretty good."

not bad?
Everyone, including Song Lingyun and Tang Yin, looked at him strangely.

The sales volume in the first week exceeded 40, which means that the sales of the first volume of this animation will eventually exceed one million. In this day and age, it is even rarer.

Of course, this data is limited to the sales data of animations broadcast by TV stations, and the BD sales of theatrical animations produced after the TV animations became popular are not included in this list.

But anyway, in Xia Yan's mouth, it's okay?

"But we have to make persistent efforts. Starting this morning, the second volume of Magical Girl Madoka's anime has been released. We will be very busy in the next month." Xia Yan looked at everyone in the conference room.

"After all, there is still one month left, and the theatrical version of "The Story of Rebellion" by Magical Girl Circle will be ready to be released in the entire Dragon Kingdom." Xia Yan spoke, pointing to the end.

But it also gave a group of people in the conference room infinite reverie.

Fans have basically watched the bd disc of the first volume of the main story animation of the content on the TV station, and there are so many people buying it, so how many sales will there be for the theatrical version that has not seen the content?
Xia Yan is also looking forward to this, but he is more willing to go with the flow.

The work of Magical Girl Madoka Magica is indeed a smash hit phenomenon-level animation in the parallel world, and has won numerous awards.

However, it is only seventh and No. 8 in the historical list of animation bd sales in the island country of the parallel world.

The works before it are two Gundams, Jockey Girl, Hua Monogatari, Love Live, and Evangelion.

Moreover, the sales data of Evangelion is nearly three times that of the Magic Circle.

And the ones with the same sales volume as the magic circle bd, ranked No. 10 in the ninth place, are works such as Lelouch and Haruhi Suzumiya.

Specific sales data, Evangelion is 20 copies, Magic Circle, Lelouch, etc., are about [-] to [-] copies.

However, these are tv animations, that is, the sales data of animation content broadcast on TV.

In the parallel world, a BD in the island country costs seven to eight thousand yen, converted to four to five hundred RMB, and a dozen episodes of animation are sold in five, six, seven or eight volumes. If you want to buy a full set, it costs several thousand RMB, which is too expensive. The people of the island country also feel cheated, and many animation fans will not be taken advantage of by this.

But the theatrical version of the animation is different, because it has not been broadcast on TV stations, and fans also buy it.

Generally, it will double or triple the bd sales of animation content broadcast by TV stations.

That’s right, what we’re talking about here is Evangelion, the BD disc of TV animation, with an average sales volume of 20, but the theatrical version of the animation “Preface”, “Broken” and “Q” are basically 90 to [-] bd sales.

So why do a group of people in the parallel world always complain about the production of Evangelion, if they have no money, they will only make money from the theatrical version.

The average sales volume of the theatrical version of BD animation is hundreds of thousands, and the average selling price of the disc is almost a few hundred yuan. After so many years of birth, not to mention other peripheral income, such as figures, models, copyright authorization, games, etc., the theatrical version of the animation Selling BD has sold more than one billion RMB in sales.

In this office, everyone is a senior person in the animation industry. From the sales data of the first volume of Magical Girl Madoka Magica BD, the sales volume of the next few volumes of animation BD can be roughly calculated.

And from these data, we can roughly guess the bd sales volume of Magical Girl Madoka Magica's theatrical version of "The Story of Rebellion".

At this time, I think of the cost of Madoka Magica, including the production fee and the purchase of broadcasting slots, which adds up to more than 2000 million.
Everyone looked at Xia Yan with strange eyes.

In fact, this year, it is basically certain that Xia Yan is the animator with the highest yield in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

none of them
And the fact is the same as Xia Yan guessed.

Compared with the first volume of Magic Circle BD, the second volume of Magical Girl Madoka Magica Animation BD actually, the enthusiasm of fans has only gradually begun to release.

After all, this animation has exploded in popularity since the third episode, and the content of this animation is included in the second volume of bd.

The first volume was at least on the second day of its release, and the market was out of stock, while the second volume of the magic circle animation bd was basically sold out on the day of its release.

In [-] provinces across the country, Xiayan company's answering calls were flooded with a large number of order calls.

This also made Xia Yan a little painful.

Xiatang Animation Company is a small company that has been established for less than a year because of its relatively small size.

Those big peripheral manufacturers looked down on Xia Yan as a company. When discussing cooperation with them a few months ago, they didn't have time and didn't want to deal with Xia Yan's company.

There is no way but to find some small companies with average strength to cooperate with.

The manufacturers of these small companies are also limited in strength, with average production capacity and channels. They clearly know that they can make money as long as they can produce products, but they have already opened up their machines at full capacity, and this is the only production capacity.

"Hurry up and make money, Xiaoyuan, I'm waiting for you to make money now, so I can make new animations, upgrade the company's staffing and partners." Xia Yan said with a sigh.

　Tonight's giant card text is [-] words again, but I will update it more tomorrow, at least [-] words, and make up for the [-] words that were missing a few days ago.
