A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

time to november
At the beginning of the month, the first volume of the monograph of Initial D was officially released.

For the release of the single volume of the Initial D comics, Beizhou Comic Club can be said to have done enough publicity.

Initial D is now very popular, and it is only at the beginning of the comic plot that it has this popularity. Consider it from the perspective of Beizhou Comics.

They are definitely not satisfied with the initial D, just to get the first result in Beizhou Comic Club, but thinking about more
For example, in the entire Longguo comics market, Squirrel Comics is now No. 1. The comic book "Double Ring" has released 2230 volumes of comics with an average sales volume of [-] million copies.

As well as Xuefeng Comic Club's current No.1 popular work in the comic club, the comic book "Red Dragon" has released 31 volumes, with an average sales volume of 2050 million copies.

These two works are the "serialized" comics with the highest sales volume of single volumes in the Longguo comics industry in the past two years.

As for Beizhou Comic Club's first work "The Gate of Taboo", its comic book volume is only 1400 million copies in Longguo.

Inverse Star Comics, which is also one of the top four comics studios, has the highest sales volume of its serialized comics, with only 1200 million copies.

Moreover, in the Longguo comics industry, among the comics currently being serialized, there are only nine ultra-popular comics with an average sales volume of over [-] million.

Among them, there are two comics under the Beizhou Comics Club, one under the Nixing Comics Club, and in the two comics clubs of Squirrel and Xuefeng, each has three comics with an average sales volume of more than [-] million volumes.

Of course, this only refers to the data of comics that are currently being "serialized" in the Dragon Kingdom comics industry, and does not involve the sales data of historical works in the comics industry, otherwise it would be too outrageous.

In the golden age of comics and novel sales in the history of Long Kingdom, more than ten years ago when teenagers and students had the most students, the sales of these works' single volumes were much stronger than they are now.

In fact, from the sales data of these works, it can be seen that the Longguo comics industry is ostensibly the four major comics clubs, but in fact, the influence of the two big four, Squirrel and Xuefeng, has been stronger than the other two in the past few years. .

But this situation is actually quite normal.Just like in the island country in the parallel world, there are also three major manga periodicals, but the sales volume of "Shounen Jump" in the island country is far ahead of "Shounen Sunday" and "Shounen magazine".

After all, the journal Jump really has great luck. In the same period, works such as Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, Yuyu Hakusho, Saint Seiya, and JOJO can be serialized in one issue. Who can compete with jump?However, after the above works were basically completed, they were immediately followed by a sea of ​​dead flames and continued to be serialized for another 20 years. The other two really couldn't compete with the young jump for the first place.

And Dragon Kingdom.
It's a turn of events, and each of the four major comic agencies has briefly been the so-called "No. [-]" comic agency in the industry.

As long as the manga club produces a popular work, the title of "No. [-]" manga club will change hands very quickly.

This is also the biggest reason why the Beizhou comic society spares no effort to promote the initial D.

It is impossible for the previous No. 1 manga work "The Gate of Taboo" to surpass "Double Precepts" and "Red Dragon" in the booklet market.

But for the young Initial D, anything is possible.
Unlike the previous situation where Xiayan Company released Magical Girl Madoka BD, Beizhou Comics, a large-scale comic journal in the Dragon Kingdom, has a very accurate assessment of the sales volume of a single book before it is released, and the production capacity and sales The situation that the channel is dragged back is basically non-existent.

But even so, in the first two days before the initial D comics were released, the imagination of being out of stock in some areas was inevitable.

And in conjunction with the release of the first volume of the initial D booklet, Xia Yan and Mo Ran also cooperated with the comic club to hold fan signing events in the two areas of the imperial capital and the magical capital.

Xia Yan has held this kind of event many times before, and he is familiar with it.

But it was the first time for Mo Ran, and she was quite nervous.Moreover, the Beizhou Comic Club is very obvious, the current attitude is to praise the two people, and want them to represent Beizhou, to see if the initial D has a chance to compete with the two strongest works in the Dragon Kingdom comics world, "Double Ring" "Competing with "Red Dragon", after knowing this, Mo Ran will definitely not be able to calm down.

Half a year ago, she was still unknown in the comics industry, but half a year later, she has grown to this point in the industry by cooperating with Xia Yan. She must be a little guilty.

The two changed into the clothes prepared by Beizhou Comics Club. Xia Yan wore a light white suit, while Mo Ran wore a light green dress. Professional makeup artists also helped with hair and makeup.

"I said Xia Yan, you are not nervous at all." Mo Ran asked in a low voice after following Xia Yan.

"You just need to get used to it. After all, there will be many such occasions to attend after the comic of Initial D."

While walking in the aisle, Xia Yan looked at the daily work report sent to him by the staff of Xiatang Animation Production Company on his mobile phone.

"Are you used to it?" Mo Ran took a deep breath upon hearing this.

"You must get used to it." Xia Yan said.

"Right now, the two of us are the most influential and popular cartoonists in the Longguo comics industry. If we are intimidated by hundreds or thousands of fans at the signing, we will be ridiculed by the media."

While talking, Xia Yan pushed open the door in front of the two of them.

In this specially rented venue, the two of them appeared
At the scene, hundreds of fans collectively cheered strongly.

The wind and waves blew Xia Yan's hair and the dark green skirt. One second, the two were still in the quiet passage, and the next second, it was the deafening scene of the signing.

"Teacher Xia Yan is so handsome."

"Miss Mo Ran, you are so beautiful, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Is the rumor on the Internet true? Mo Ran, you and Xia Yan are in a relationship?"

"Mr. Yuanqing, can you draw faster. I have been painting the Battle of Dubingshan for almost a month or two, and I am so anxious. What is the ending of the love between Zeng Zhi and Chi Gu?"

"There are also Xia Shu and Tu Hai. Why have they been eyeballing each other for so long, and they haven't confirmed their relationship yet! Xia Shu's father has a lot of roles, can you not use the precious comic industry for In portraying Natsuki's family relationships, we're not interested in her dad."

A group of fans who were closer to Xia Yan and Mo Ran spoke out what they were thinking in an excited tone.

Xia Yan's expression remained the same.

But knowing that Xia Yan had probably introduced her to Mo Ran, who was in the later stages of the Initial D manga.
But the expression is very strange.

in a while, probably
As the creator of Initial D, Xia Yan, the true face of Xia Shu's strongest and richest father, created for fans of Longguo comics, is about to be revealed.

This work will explain to fans what reality is.

And, the meaning of the phrase "race drivers don't need women!"

But now, Xia Yan responded with a gentle smile to the fans who came to the first volume signing event of the comic book.

"I see."

"I will consider your suggestion."

"The finale of Initial D? I haven't figured it out yet, but I will definitely create the image of the legend of Qiu Mingshan perfectly."

When most of these silks are queuing up to buy the booklet, they will ask some relatively normal topics.

But there are also some fans who come to be funny and ask some outrageous topics.

What if his girlfriend ran out of battery?

What is more busy, can you drift with one hand while driving.

These fans were just here for fun, Xia Yan looked normal, and Mo Ran next to him looked blank.

Of course, the purpose of the signing event is actually just to help the works to promote, and Xia Yan and Beizhou Comic Company don't care about the thousands of manga booklets sold at the signing event.

But in this process, it is the key to make this matter and the one-line fame of Initial D comics through news media interviews and publicity.

next day
The news of Xia Yan and Mo Ran's comic book signing event was promoted by Beizhou Comic Club, and it directly became a hot search on Longguo's website.

The photos and personal biographical information of the two also spread through various channels.

On the other hand, Liuli Publishing House is not to be outdone.

Although Liuli Book Club and Beizhou Comics Club are companies in two industries, at least they have the same interests in promoting Xia Yan.

It is also the time to buy hot searches, buy hot searches, and find the navy to find the navy.

Also on this day, some information about the novel Sword Art Online was topped on the hot search list.

Whether it is Xia Yan or Mo Ran, the labels of Longguo animation, comics, novel genius boys and genius comic girls are also gradually gaining popularity among the people under the deliberate guidance of the two companies.

After all, grades speak for themselves.

Initial D was ranked first in the Beizhou Comic Journal, and Sword Art Online was ranked second in the Liuli Journal. The authors of these two works are of course considered geniuses.

A few days later, the first-week sales of the first volume of the Initial D manga volume came out.
The outside world's estimated sales of the first volume of the initial d comic book volume are around 340 million copies.

After all, there are many popular comics in Longguo. Their first volume of comics only sold 300 million copies in the first week of release. The total sales within three months after the release are generally more than three or four times the sales figures in the first week.

However, as the serialization time of these works becomes longer, the fan base increases. In the end, the popularity of the works may grow to the point where the volume of manga sales exceeds 500 million copies or even higher.

However, the sales data of the first week of the first volume of the initial D manga booklet has greatly exceeded the expectations of the outside world.

A total of 4852130 copies were sold in the first week.
Beizhou Comic Club even held a special celebration event directly on the official website to celebrate the sales of the first volume of Initial D comics exceeding 480 million copies.

First week: 480 million! ! ! !

After this data came out, it directly caused the comics world to boil.

Many practitioners and enthusiasts in the comics industry maxed out discussions on related topics on this day.

"480 million copies in the first week? Has it been released?"

"If I remember correctly, this is the comic with the second highest sales in a single week after the first volume of the comic book was released after the Golden Age ended 12 years ago in the Dragon Country comics industry and it transitioned to the current Silver Age period? "

"It's true. In the golden age more than ten years ago, the number of teenagers in the Dragon Kingdom was 7000 to [-] million more than it is now. At that time, there were many children, and you could occasionally see such top-level cartoons. Now it is really difficult. I'm actually a bit skeptical about the sales data of the first week's single book like the initial D, isn't it true that Beizhou Comic Club uploaded fake data?"

"The first volume of the popular manga "Dragon's Breath" released ten years ago had a total sales volume of 490 million copies. After that work was finally completed, the sales volume of the 600 manga volumes was [-] million copies. Can the initial D be comparable to "Dragon's Breath"?"

"It can't be compared like this. Wang Ming, the author of "Dragon's Breath", was already very popular before. He is a giant in the comic industry. He was one of the most popular cartoonists in the golden age of the comic industry. The weekly sales data is understandable, but Yuan Qing and Mo Ran? What are they, pure newcomers in the comics industry! To be honest, the first week sales of 480 million for Initial D is a little more difficult."

"Although Yuan Qing had accumulated a certain number of novel fans before the serialization of Initial D, compared with Wang Ming's manga fans back then, they are nothing compared to the big witches, and they are not at the same level. For reference, don't be too superstitious."

"Indeed, it's like "Double Ring". Its first volume sold 72 copies in the first week, but the plot broke out in the later stage of the manga, and now it has soared to 2200 million? Similarly, "Orange" seven years ago The sales volume of the first volume of Miracle comic book was 330 million copies in the first week, but this manga was serialized to No.70. decide what."

"But 480 million is too exaggerated. A good start is half the battle. It's not nonsense. Not to mention Shuangjie's late-stage works, such as "Red Dragon", which exploded at the beginning. , the sales volume of the first volume of the booklet is only 340 million copies in the first week!"

"Mr. Yuanqing is cheating, and Mr. Mo Ran is cheating! This grade directly hits little Heizi in the face."

"Haha, I'm very relieved to see it. Those black people who have been doing all kinds of black "Initial D" and other self-proclaimed comics in the single volume market will never reach an average volume of 300 million volumes. Now all of them have disappeared."

"The first week is 480 million. The quality of the plot after that is maintained. After one year of serialization, the sales volume of this manga's single volume exceeds 2000 million copies. It should be very stable."

"Well, let's see if the quality of this work collapses later. But anyway, in this era, a work that can sell more than 400 million copies of the first volume in the first week is a god!"

"No, can a car cartoon be so powerful?"

"Instead of asking questions on the Internet, why don't you just buy it for a dozen yuan and have a look. I remember the content of the first volume of comics is broken at the key plot of the FD racing car with Gao Qi? After reading it, you Let's see your question."

"All in all, I was not interested in racing. Now I have signed up to learn to drive."

"I just went into the pit after seeing the popularity of the initial D booklet last week. I can only say that everyone should never buy it. You will definitely regret it. I couldn't sleep at night after reading the first volume of the Initial D booklet. I couldn't sleep at night. I am dreaming and I am "inertial drifting". Now I am looking for second-hand "Beizhou" periodicals in the seafood online shopping second-hand market. I can't wait for the second volume of this manga to come out. The content of the manga, catch up with the progress of manga serialization."

"Damn it, brother, can you sell your second-hand periodicals to me at half price for a third hand after reading it! I also bought the first volume of the initial D monograph, and I was disgusted by that guy Yuan Qing's ability to break chapters. I really can't figure out how the periodical fans survived during the serialization of this comic."

"Haha, Mr. Yuanqing has been a journal fan for three years. I can only say, just get used to it. After reading it, go to his comment area and scold him a few times to calm down."

"Is it really that good? I don't believe there's any point in a caricature of road racing?"

"I can only say that the one upstairs is not expensive for more than a dozen yuan. It's not too late to say this after you buy it and read it. Otherwise, I regret that you will miss this best work in the Dragon Kingdom comics industry in the past ten years." .”

"Hey, now I hope Teacher Yuanqing can draw faster, finish the serialization of Du Bingshan's plot as soon as possible, let Zeng Zhi replace Chi Gu with the correct results, and solve the misunderstanding."

For several days in a row, the Longguo comics world was immersed in the turmoil of the sales data of the first volume of the first volume of the initial D volume of 480 million copies.

The sales data of the booklet is the embodiment of the strength of a comic.

Previously, the initial D was king on Beizhou, and everyone could not accurately judge its influence and quality, but now.
Many talents in the entire comics industry finally understand what level of comics this work is.
