Chapter 350: Continuing the Sales Miracle
The first print of Doupo comics is three million sets, with a total of 30 million copies.
This printing quantity is already quite large.
If we talk about the annual sales of comics, there are still many that exceed tens of millions, but most of them are island comics.
Over the years, Chinese comics are indeed not as good as those of island comics, which is a fact that has to be admitted.
After all, other people's comics, such as One Piece, Slam Dunk, Dragon Ball, etc., are sold to China, or even Asia.
The development history is also crazy than the country.
In my previous life, I won’t talk about the history of comics development before the 1970s.
In 1978, the old-fashioned journal "Weekly Boy Sunday" signed Takahashi's "Fu Xing Boy" (one of my favorites) and soared in popularity. In 1981, Fu Xing Boy was animated, and in the same year, Anda Chong's "Touch" ("Baseball Heroes"), the market influence needs no further.
At that time, the competition in the comics market in the island country reached an unprecedented level of intensity, and driven by capital, it also gave birth to more classic works.
For the next thirty or forty years, best-selling comics continued.
Comics, animations, toys, theme parks, etc., each best-selling comic has formed its own cultural ecosystem, which is something we have to admire others.
Even in this world, the island comics are just like Chen Shi’s previous life.
Nowadays, Chinese people are more proud of their desire than to defeat them. It is no problem to sell well in China. They hope to break out of China and impact other countries’ cultures.
Harry Potter's best-selling internationally has made countless readers around the world know about Chen Shi, a great writer.
At the same time, it also led to other sales of Chen Shi.
Many readers in the international world have never been to China and have begun to be interested in China, especially Chinese culture.
There are many foreigners who know a little about Chinese and take two Harry Potter books, one in Chinese and the other in English, and compare the translations.
What Doupo fans are even more looking forward to what will happen after Doupo’s English version is released.
Maybe the foreigner would cheer, "oh, ygod! It's so beautiful."
"Onderful, the fighting spirit turns into a horse!"
"It's so scary".
Starting from a few Chinese, familiar with more Chinese, curious about Chinese culture, yearn for Chinese, attracting them to come to Chinese and to know more clearly.
Basically, every Chinese has a patriotism and hopes that their country will become stronger and stronger.
Of course, this scene like the ancient "Ten Thousand Dynasties Come to worship" is still far away, which does not mean that China is not powerful enough today.
The first Yindou Po comic is not yet ready to guide overseas markets.
The time is not ripe enough.
After the Doupo English version is best-selling in foreign countries, Doupo English comics are the best time to go public.
Students, especially primary and secondary school students, may not like to read texts, but comics are their favorites.
It is most suitable to use comics to guide primary and secondary school students in other countries.
When they grow up, the culture in their minds has been imprinted with Chinese culture and recognizes China from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, Chen Shi felt that comics were more important than previous texts, even if they didn’t make that much money.
There are several online stores on the official website of Shenshi Group, which have the countdown to the release of Doupo Comics.
The hour hand slowly turned to 24:00 am on June 18th
June 19, 0:00
Doupo comics are officially released.
Although it was already midnight at this time, Doupo's loyal fans, especially young people, were mostly night owls, and finally waited for this moment and couldn't wait to place an order to get the comic and read it.
"Place an order, grab it!"
"Don't look at a lot of 300 sets, my idol's books have never lacked markets."
"Support, we are not short of money. Buy a few sets, read one for yourself, collect one for you, and give a few sets to your friends."
"My brother likes to watch Doupo. He happened to meet his birthday in a few days. What else is more suitable gift than giving comics."
Countless Doupo fans, everyone has similar ideas to buy. Being able to squat until this time to buy Doupo comics is undoubtedly a loyal fan.
When new products are on the shelves, the most popular one is usually one hour before sales.
For example, on Double Eleven, new books are on the shelves and flat fruits are on the shelves. From the first hour of sales, it can be judged whether the product is popular.
In the tenth minute, 150,000 sets of Doupo comics were issued.
In the 20th minute, 270,000 sets of Doupo comics were sold.
In the first hour, 550,000 sets were sold, totaling 5.5 million copies.
Needless to say, it's hot!
By this calculation, there is hope for sales to reach 2 million units per day.
It doesn’t mean that every hour can sell 550,000 units. Every hour is so popular in one day.
The media reporter who was waiting, looked at the sales data on the official website of Shenshi Group. Every time he refreshed, it increased by tens of thousands or tens of thousands.
[Congratulations: Doupo Comics sold more than 500,000 sets in its first hour, totaling 5 million copies, 12.4 billion yuan!]
The good news content was quickly posted on several online stores.
When media reporters saw these data, they did not think that Shenshi Group was fake.
The Doupo entity has sold over 200 million copies, so of course the comics will become popular, but it is hard to guess how popular it is.
Code and publish the article quickly.
The next day during the day, netizens went to work and turned on their phones, and saw overwhelming news.
[Doupo Comics is super popular, with hourly sales of 12.4 billion yuan.]
[Doupo Comics Breaking the Sky, Sales have exceeded 200 million yuan]
[Doupo Comic: Another Gold-sucking Beast of Chen Shi!]
[Doupo Comics - Use your strength to prove that what else can stop me?!]
In just seven or eight hours, Doupo Comics' sales volume has exceeded one million sets, with sales reaching nearly 300 million yuan.
"It seems that selling hundreds of millions a day is not a problem. It's really awesome. Sell the physical ones after selling them, and then sell the comics."
"Doupo anime is so popular. I don't know what the animation is like. I'm looking forward to Doupo being moved to the theater."
"I heard that it's too soon. Insider information, the Doupo animation has been done, but Chen Shi died a few times and was not satisfied and asked to do it again."
"The waiting days are really hard, just like last year's pursuit of the broken book. Fortunately, there are mortals to chase, but two or three updates are not enough to read, so I look forward to it."
"Given the urinary nature of the Snow Night God in Jiangnan, I am busy with business now. I guess mortals will not post 810,000 words at once like Doupo. It would be great if they could get 200,000 to 300,000 words, and it would be great for a few days."
On the subway and on the bus, most young people like to fight and break the gap between strangers and start chatting together.
Qihang Chinese website.
The editors have just started work and are also discussing the launch of Doupo comics.
"Hey, Doupo comics are on the shelves and are popular again. Unfortunately, we didn't get a dime when we set sail."
"At that time, Doupo copyright was sold at a cheap price, only tens of millions. Now, it's not too many millions."
"It's not that Jiangnan Xueye didn't see it. That guy is so terrible. He knows that his books will become popular, so he has bought all the copyrights long ago."
"Hey, now we can't set sail, and mortal negotiations have broken the relationship. People don't want to get a share of the pie. It's better to agree earlier than to agree late, and it's not like to give in the end."
The editors saw that colleagues were discussing the matter of Doupo early in the morning, so that everyone could speak quietly and not let the senior management hear it.
I guess the most painful thing is to be the senior executive who sells the copyright of Doubiao.
However, there is no regret medicine to take.
What's more, when I met a snowy night in Jiangnan, I had already realized that my book club was very popular, and I was very fond of money.
There are not many great masters in Shihang, and they will spend a lot of money to buy the copyright of their books.
During this period, the editors in the office discussed Jiangnan Xueye.
At the senior management of Qihang, when I thought of Jiangnan Xueye, I was so angry that I had to surrender to him.
Chapter completed!
