Chapter 174: Conquering the Heart of Foodies
Chen Ze's new comic "Chinese Primary School Master" was finally released in a controversy.
This time, a group of netizens would boycott it, and in the end the incident was so big on the Internet, it was indeed beyond Chen Ze's expectations. Chen Ze originally thought that such a fuss would probably affect the sales of the magazine.
Who knew that when the sales statistics of "Manke Weekly", where "Chinese Primary School" were located on the first day, the number exceeded Chen Ze's imagination.
"Chen Ze, the sales volume on the first day was 527,235 copies." In the New Animation Magazine, Lin Lan reported the sales volume on the first day to Chen Ze.
After hearing this, Chen Ze nodded. Although the first-day sales of 520,000 copies cannot be compared with "Detective Conan", it is even worse than "Chess Soul".
However, for food comics, such relatively niche comics, it is already a new record. Especially two days before the serialization, a wave of boycotting Chen Ze's new food comics was set off on the Internet.
Chen Ze thought sales would be affected, but who knew that sales were so good, which was really beyond his expectations.
"Five 20,000, not bad." Chen Ze said. There were 520,000 on the first day, and the sales in that week should have exceeded 3 million. For a food comic, such sales are indeed very good.
What Chen Ze didn't expect was that in fact, such a big wave on the Internet would only expand the influence of his new comics. Everyone may be curious about such a sensational comic that has not yet come out.
Coupled with Chen Ze's meager, some food lovers who, like Wu Xiaoming, originally wanted to boycott Chen Ze's new comics, but couldn't help but watch them, attracted them.
This is due to several factors that Chen Ze's sales volume has been achieved.
"It's good. I thought it would be great if I had 400,000 yuan, but I didn't expect it to be so good." Lin Lan also nodded and said.
She believed in Chen Ze from beginning to end, and he would never draw unpopular comics. However, the sales volume would be so good, but it was beyond her imagination.
After all, food comics are too niche. The history of Chinese comics has been so many years. Food comics have never produced any good comics, so she didn't expect that they would achieve such good results.
"By the way, Chen Ze, I will tell you something. The publisher we cooperated with in Japan and the Asahi TV station that bought your copyright have all contacted me and said I would like to invite you to Japan and do some activities."
Lin Lan seemed to remember something and quickly spoke.
"Please go to Japan? Do an activity?" Chen Ze was stunned.
"Yes, your "Slam Dunk" has seen a sharp increase in popularity in Japan recently, and it is selling quite well. It seems that in just two months, it has almost sold 10 million copies. So they want to strike while the iron is hot and invite you to do some activities to increase your popularity." Lin Lan said.
After hearing this, Chen Ze nodded. When he was working with Jun and Yifu, they once said that they hoped they could go to Japan and participate in a program on their TV station. Now they are here to invite themselves again. This shows their sincerity.
And it seems that this time it is indeed a good opportunity to expand your popularity and push "Slam Dunk" to the entire Asia. It is indeed a good opportunity to go there.
Thinking of this, Chen Ze nodded and said, "Okay, did they say when to go?"
"They hope it will be within this month to cooperate with the launch of the animation and do a series of activities to promote "Slam Dunk" and your popularity in Japan." Lin Lan said.
"One month?" Chen Ze thought for a while. Although he had a lot of things recently, it was enough for him to deal with it in just one month.
Thinking of this, Chen Ze nodded and said, "Okay. Then I will go to Japan within this month."
Just as Chen Ze and Lin Lan were discussing going to Japan, a fierce debate also broke out in a food TT group.
"I think this "Chinese Primary School" is pretty good. I suggest everyone take a look. We misunderstood it at the beginning. Its selling point is not the luminous cuisine and exaggerated language, but the plot and attitude towards food."
After watching the first part of Chen Ze's "Chinese Primary School Master", he spoke in the group that he was Wu Xiaoming.
"I also think that the painting of "Chinese Primary School" is really good, and the first chapter is really good. Especially the sentence, cooking is something that brings people happiness. With this sentence, I think we misunderstood Chen Ze before."
Another person also spoke, and from his tone, he must have read the first episode like Wu Xiaoming, and he fell in love with the people he had seen.
"You saw it too?" Wu Xiaoming said in surprise, "It's very good. Now the young master is going to City G, the food capital. I don't know what will happen to him there, so I'm quite looking forward to it."
"Yes, I look forward to the second phase and come quickly." The man also spoke. It seemed that his love in his heart was not inferior to Wu Xiaoming.
"What are you talking about? This kind of comic is an insult to food. You actually went to see it, and after reading it, they came back to promote it. Do you really like food?"
At this time, a person suddenly posted a TT saying that she was one of the main players who last launched a boycott of Chen Ze's comic "Chinese Primary School". She is also the person who likes food the most in this group.
"Story, I think you really misunderstood Chen Ze's new comics. His new comics are really good. Not only are they not considered insulting food, but they should be considered a classic food comic. You can tell if you go and read it."
Wu Xiaoming looked at the words of the netizen called "Story" and explained patiently.
"I don't believe it. You must have been brainwashed by Chen Zexin's comics. What's the best thing about his fantasy food comics?" said Shishi, with a very angry tone, and even the word brainwashing was used.
Yes, she was indeed quite angry. In the group, everyone agreed that Chen Ze's new comics insulted the food, and agreed to unanimously boycott this "Chinese Primary School".
As a result, when the first episode came out, everyone's tone changed immediately. However, they did not resist and even made a declaration for it, and some even praised it one after another.
This really made her angry. She felt that these people must have been brainwashed by Chen Ze's new comics, otherwise how could they suddenly change so big?
"I wouldn't have watched this "Chinese Primary School", and I wouldn't have liked it." Looking at the crowd of praise in the group, Shishi calmed down and said.
In the following period, more and more people in the group watched "The Master of Chinese" and fell in love with it, and joined the discussion of the plot.
This made Wuye feel depressed and he spoke less and less in the group. He dived every day and then saw what they were saying.
"What's so good about this movie? It's just an insult to the food!"
This continued for a while, and the discussions in the group not only did not decrease, but instead tended to become increasingly fierce. In the heart of Story, he also began to become curious about the "Chinese Primary School".
"I'll take a look at the exaggerated description language of this "Chinese Primary School" and then go to the group to refute them. I'm not interested in this comic at all."
Wuxia thought to herself, so she went to the bookstore, bought all the issues of "Manke Weekly" back, and then started reading it.
"A thirteen-year-old child is the protagonist? This book is really nonsense. Good chefs have been honed in the kitchen for many years."
"You can tell all the ingredients with just a bite? How can you be such a genius?"
"Sichuan fairy Master Abei, Yuqian Ju went downstairs."
"Magic Mapo tofu, mahjong, spicy, color, fragrance, soup, crispy, and six flavors."
"Cooking is not a tool, it is something that brings happiness to people."
Story was watching and complaining. At first she felt that there were problems everywhere, but as she looked, she gradually became addicted to it and felt that it was getting better and better.
The purpose of reading this comic at the beginning was forgotten by her. Now there was only one thought in her mind.
This book "Chinese Primary School Master" is really good.
In the end, "The Master of Chinese" successfully conquered the heart of Story.
There are many things like this. During the serialization of "Chinese Primary School" one after another, the comic lovers who began to demand that they boycott this food comic all changed their attitudes.
They all fell in love with this comic. When Chen Ze was still serializing, they kept leaving messages to Chen Ze, hoping that Chen Ze could add his favorite food.
It can be said that in the end, "The Master of Chinese" finally conquered the hearts of all foodies.
