"Football Young Player" is one of the three major sports comics, but its sales are at the bottom of the three major sports comics. The total sales in history have not even reached 100 million. This is the single-line version it has released, which is the most among the three major sports comics, which makes people sigh.

If we look at it from a history point of view, "Football Young Player" has been drawn for more than 20 years, and the single-line versions have been released, and its total sales are close to 100 million. In other words, if the single-line version is average, "Football Young Player" will only reach just over one million, which is far less than the other two sports comics.

But the reason why "Football Young Players" is called the three major sports comics is mainly because of its influence. There is no doubt that this sports comic has a considerable influence in the world. This is mainly because football is the world's number one sport. Although the influence of "Baseball Heroes" and "Slam Dunk" are also good, they are undoubtedly a different one in this regard.

Sure enough, although Zhao Chen's remaining heat has not completely dissipated, the sales volume of "Football Young Players" on the first day was still not satisfactory, reaching 300,000 copies. Judging from the trend of rapid decline in sales in the future, the total sales volume of the first single-line version of "Football Young Players" in the island country can basically only reach 500,000 or 600,000. As for the sales volume in other regions, it still needs to be further developed. For Zhao Chen, this time does not take too long.

Just when the Football Young Player was released, Zhao Chen and many editors held a meeting and finally decided to improve the quality of "Young SORA", at least one serialized comic needs to be cut in half every month. The statistics are mainly based on reader surveys, and the last three will be ranked as candidates for half. As for which one needs to be cut in half, it will be decided through a meeting. At the same time, after discussion by the editorial department, Zhao Chen decided to increase the serialized comics of "Young SORA" to 15, and the price of the weekly magazine was increased by 20 yen. It can be said that no matter the number of serialized comics or the price of the weekly magazine, it is almost the same as the current Shueisha "Young JUMP".

This move is actually a replica of "JUMP", and the reason why "JUMP" can become the most sold comic weekly in the island country. This move takes part of the credit, allowing serialized cartoonists to compete for the purpose of continuing to serialize, thereby improving the quality of the weekly.

But every move will also have side effects, that is, in this case, those who can survive are basically fast food comics, and fast food comics often lack the momentum and will eventually enter the ranks of half. This means a bit of a vicious cycle. This not only suppresses the rise of newcomers, but also puts pressure on older generations of cartoonists.

But it is certain that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Coupled with Zhao Chen's forward-looking vision, he can minimize the side effects of this measure.

This move naturally cannot involve its cartoonists, otherwise most cartoonists would not agree. It is precisely because of this that when the cartoonists who serialized comics on "Young SORA" learned about this move through their respective editors, they expressed dissatisfaction with their editors. Perhaps doing so can improve their sense of crisis, but it can also be regarded as indirectly squeezing their surplus value. It is quite normal to be dissatisfied with it.

Similarly, this move, which is almost the same as "Young JUMP", has also been dissatisfied by Shueisha. However, despite the dissatisfaction, there is still some connection between Zhao Chen and Shueisha. In particular, "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is still serialized on "Young JUMP", and its ranking has been difficult to decline.

Since "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was serialized in "Young JUMP", although it has never been the first in the quick report, due to the good overall quality and the many hot elements in it, perhaps most islanders cannot understand the background of the Tang Dynasty. However, many comic fans often fill in "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in the quick report, and over time, they have formed a group of loyal and die-hard fans.

Especially as Zhao Chen's fame is getting higher and higher, the ranking of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in the quick report has gradually increased recently, and the latest episodes have stabilized at the third place in "Young JUMP".

Similarly, the single-line release of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" can be said to be quite stable. Basically, there are about 500,000 copies on average, and perhaps the sales volume is far inferior to the classic comics of those island countries, but it is also good, and it has earned a lot of profits for Shueisha.

It is precisely because of this relationship between the two sides that the president of Jiyingshu, Kaku Nangang, could only turn a blind eye to the Tianxia Society.

Recently, it can be said that it is the time when Tianxia Society makes a lot of money. Every few days, Tianxia Society will have a serialized comic release.

Among them, the single-line version of "Football Young Players" sold more than 500,000 copies in a few days, while the other popular "The Three Sisters of Cat Eyes" was less. The first single-line version was almost 400,000. As for the other nine ordinary comics, it remained around 100,000.

In terms of the overall sales of these twelve single-line books, Tianxiashe is naturally far from comparing with comic giants such as Shueisha. This is mainly because of the relatively low sales of "Young SORA". However, Zhao Chen believes that as time goes by, as long as the quality of "Young SORA" is maintained, it will gain more and more favor from readers, so that sales will continue to rise, and the sales of single-line books issued will undoubtedly gradually increase.

If you want to win the favor of readers, you will be imperative to cut your hair.

After all the comics serialized in "Youth SORA" were released, the World Club calculated the specific sales volume, plus the results of readers' evaluation. After collective discussion between the editors and Zhao Chen, it was finally decided to cut off the "Araki Hirohiko's "Armed Poker" and another single-line version that sold no more than 100,000 serialized comics.

At the same time, during the meeting, it was decided to start a comic magazine again, which was released five times a year in order to complete the half-cut work in this comic magazine.

Every comic fan has his own preferences. Even if the comics you like are cut in half, they will often continue to support them until they are finished. This is also the main sales group of this movie called "Wanetotheclose".

Zhao Chen didn't care much about this newly founded comic magazine. After all, "Wanetotheclose" is only released five times a year, and the serialized works are cut in half, so the sales can be imagined. But this is mainly to comfort the corresponding measures taken by the cut in half cartoonists, even if they don't make money, they have to be founded.

Sure enough, when I received the two cartoonists who were cut in half, my face could be described as slight at the beginning, even the same was the same as Hirohiko Araki, who had always been kind. But after hearing that the editor in charge of them revealed the comic magazine "Wanetotheclose", the two cartoonists' faces became much better, at least to take care of their face.

Tianxia Society, Araki Hirohiko, who had just finished talking to the editor, frowned and was about to leave, but at this moment, a staff member signaled Zhao Chen to wait for him in the president's office.

The face of Araki Hirohito was gloomy and he felt a little ashamed of the treatment and attention given to him by Zhao Chen. Then he stabilized his emotions and suppressed his inner anxiety and entered the president's office.

As soon as Hiro Araki entered the president's office, he lowered his head and was ashamed to see Zhao Chen.

"Teacher Araki, please sit down!"

Zhao Chen looked at Araki Hirohiro in front of him with a smile, and then looked at him for a few seconds before speaking.

Hirohiko Araki hurriedly sat down, but he still shook his head and looked listless. Also, at the first half-cut meeting, his serial comic "Armed Poker" entered the half-cut ranks, which made him feel ashamed of Zhao Chen's always trust and support, but also felt embarrassed.

"Teacher Araki, I'm sorry for the beheading of "Armed Poker"!"

"President, this is not your fault. I blame you for not drawing "Armed Poker" well, and I can accept it!"

Hirohiko Araki still lowered his head, but he was a little unwilling to say something. He was a more proud person, but his work was cut in half and he suffered a significant blow.

"Teacher Araki, I can understand your mood too! However, Tianxia Society is aiming for profit. If you want to make faster progress, the half-cutting measures must be implemented, otherwise it will inevitably suppress other potential cartoonists who want to join Tianxia Society!"

"President, I understand this, but I feel a little reluctant!"

"Teacher Araki, please raise your head. Can you tell me about your dream?"

Hirohiko Araki struggled for a while, and finally slowly looked up, but his eyes were still filled with shame and unwillingness.

"My dream is naturally to become an excellent cartoonist!"

"Teacher Araki, you have the potential to become an excellent cartoonist, otherwise I would not have given you that contract at that time! However, no matter who wants to succeed, it will inevitably have to pay a price and effort. You should understand this! Also, do you think your work "Armed Poker" can achieve this goal if it is not cut in half? If you think it can, I can make a decision to continue serializing "Armed Poker"!"
