Chapter 209 Reversal (Part 2)
"Chen Ze, the sales data on the first day have come out."
The day after Chen Ze's first episode of Naruto was released, the sales data of Manke Weekly magazine came out. After Lin Lan got the data, she immediately called and told Chen Ze about this.
The tone is quite excited.
"Is that true, how much sales were there on the first day?" Chen Ze asked after hearing Lin Lan's words.
The only thing that really determines their victory or defeat in this comic showdown between him and Asakura Jing is the sales volume. Although the remarks of online netizens are now inclined toward him after the first issue of Chen Ze’s new comic.
But if the sales volume of "Naruto" does not beat "Ninja City" by Asakura Mitsuru, it would be in vain. No matter how good the reputation is, I will still lose.
Therefore, Chen Ze cared so much about the first day of the comic sales. He immediately asked when he heard Lin Lan's words.
"Our Manke Weekly's first-day sales were 1,052,352 copies, an increase of nearly 350,000 copies over the previous issue." Lin Lan excitedly reported the number, his tone trembling.
Although since Chen Ze serialized in Lin Lan's new animation magazine, the sales of their magazine's magazine have been rising all the time. Among them, the "Young Manga" serialized by "Detective Conan" once hit a first-day sales of more than 800,000 yuan.
However, for "Manke Weekly", after Chen Ze's "Chinese Primary School Master" was serialized, its daily sales averaged about 700,000 yuan.
After the serialization of "Naruto", it soared by 350,000, directly breaking the benchmark of millions. This number is too important for "Manke Weekly" and for the New Animation Magazine.
You should know that in China, whether a magazine is considered a first-class magazine is a very simple standard, which is to see if there is a magazine with a daily sales of over one million and a weekly sales of over five million.
This million number is quite difficult to achieve. Even with Chen Zezhi's talent, he has painted so many comics, and it has not been until today that he brought Lin Lan's new animation magazine to today.
Of course, this is also related to the platform. Lin Lan's new animation magazine is really too lacking in background. If Chen Ze was replaced by those large magazines, I'm afraid that this record would have been reached in "Slam Dunk".
But this does not mean that this number can be achieved very simply. You should know that even the magazines under the master level of Lotte Society can only maintain sales of around one million in this period of dullness without masterpieces.
A magazine with a daily sales of one million is enough to make a magazine company a top-notch magazine company. A daily sales of two million is a magazine company with a dominant level.
With a daily sales of three million, there has been only one period in the history of Chinese comics, namely Lotte Society in the golden age, plus Li Mingyang in his peak period. Only in this period did such magical numbers appear.
This digital record is also the biggest proof of Li Mingyang's unquestionable number one person in the comics.
Today, "Manke Weekly", a magazine founded by Lin Lan, finally entered the ranks of millions. How could she not be excited? So when she spoke, Chen Ze could clearly feel the trembling of her voice.
"One million and fifty thousand? That's OK." Chen Ze replied. Although he felt that Lin Lan was very excited, he was still a little disappointed.
Asakura's first-day sales reached 1.28 million, and he was still more than 200,000.
Lin Lan was very excited, but she heard Chen Ze's tone on the phone, not particularly excited. She was a little confused. After asking Chen Ze's thoughts, she almost turned her over with anger.
If Chen Ze is in front of Lin Lan now, then Lin Lan must roll her eyes at him and act as a contempt.
"Please, Asakura Jing was serialized in Lotte Club's ace magazine "Youth GOOD". It's normal to have that result. You are serialized in our magazine, and your popularity and number of consumers are not on the same level."
"Do you know that our "Manke Weekly" can exceed one million sales? Do you know that you have created a miracle? For so many years, no one has done what you are doing now except Li Mingyang brought up Lotte Club."
Lin Lan said loudly from the other end of the phone.
"I know, this result is pretty good." Chen Ze touched his cheek, and after Lin Lan finished speaking, he spoke, "But I wonder if I could surpass Asakura Mitsuka in the first phase, so that the outcome between me and him would be immediately separated."
Chen Ze's idea before the release of "Naruto" was very simple. He knew the charm of "Naruto". He thought about whether he could fight quickly. In the first episode, he defeated Asakura Mitsukoshi in terms of sales volume and ended the showdown.
But now, it seems that I am a little too greedy. After all, Asakura Asakura is a very talented cartoonist, and ace magazine like "Young GOOD", although he has a good sales volume, it is still a little difficult to defeat him in the first issue.
Now the first-day sales of "Naruto" are indeed better than Asakura Mitsukoshi. However, because the total sales have not exceeded it, there is still controversy in terms of the outcome.
But Chen Ze was confident of catching up with him. You should know that the early stage of "Naruto" was quite exciting, and "gaochao" was clicked one after another. Chen Ze believed that even if Asakura Jing was serialized on "Young GOOD", he would definitely surpass him in sales.
Soon, Chen Ze's first-day sales data of "Naruto" spread. Now, netizens and comic fans were even more impressed by Chen Ze.
Before this comic series was published, almost no one was optimistic about Chen Ze. They all agreed that Chen Ze would lose this time.
But I didn't expect to draw such a wonderful Ninja comic that they couldn't put down. I didn't expect that the sales on the first day would be so high that they could actually exceed one million. This is really, too exaggerated.
"Awesome, so amazing, this is the great god I like."
"I thought that Master Chen Ze would lose this time, but I didn't expect that another miracle would be created. If someone tells me that the master is not a human being, then I believe it too."
"It's really exaggerating to think that God Chen Ze is not a human being. How can humans continue to create such miracles."
These netizens and comic fans remembered the miracles that Chen Ze created before. They drew "Slam Dunk" as soon as they entered the Tao, which caused a national basketball craze.
Later, he drew "The Soul of Chess", which directly saved the originally in danger of Chinese Go.
Then there is "Detective Conan", who actually defeated Zhang Jiyi in one fell swoop and won the Guerns Award after a coincidence.
Now, when everyone is completely unpopular, sales have achieved a historic breakthrough, reaching sales of one million.
Thinking of all this, netizens think it's so dreamy. Even Li Mingyang was not as dreamy as Chen Ze at the same time. Now, Li Mingyang is already at the peak of Chinese comics.
If Chen Zezhao continues to have such momentum, what level will it reach? It is really unimaginable.
In addition to lamenting that Chen Ze's achievements are not as good as a human being, the online view of the victory or defeat between him and Asakura Kei was reversed all at once.
After reading the first issue of the comic, many people thought that Chen Ze still had hope to win this time. Now, after learning about the sales volume on the first day, although Asakura Kei has achieved a very amazing sales volume.
However, Chen Ze was even more amazing. With this, although Chen Ze has not defeated Asakura Mitsuka in the sales of comics, almost half of netizens believe that Chen Ze has hope of winning this time.
Before we knew it, the online view of the outcome of this victory and defeat took a fundamental reversal.
And not only online, major media magazines have also published articles, claiming that Chen Ze's hope of winning this time has increased significantly, and has far exceeded Asakura Kemi's hope.
Compared to netizens, they are definitely more professional and understand better what Chen Ze's sales data on the first day showed. Being able to achieve this can almost be said to have a fundamental reversal of the situation between him and Asakura Kei.
This is very important and interesting news, so they immediately published articles to explain this matter. They chose to forget it. Not long ago, they all thought that Chen Ze had no hope of winning.
Of course, not all media and magazines are like this, but one is different.
