Chapter 202 Cartoonists Personal Income Tax
PS: By the way, Osamu Tezuka died, he was really unwilling to accept it because Akira Toriyama seriously threatened his position at that time. The sales of "Flamebi" are difficult to count, and the total sales of a single book should have exceeded 100 million. However, Osamu Tezuka's "Buddha" sales were much worse. This book ended in 1983. During the serialization process, I don't know how many comics and magazines were harmed, and "Flamebi" was also affected.
At this time, even if Takahashi Yang's nerves are thick, he can smell a 'gunpowder smell'. He knew that if he messed up this time, something might happen later.
The helpless Yangichi Takahashi then picked up the manuscript and looked carefully before skillfully taking out various tools and starting to paint the background.
Takahashi Yoichi's hand speed is very fast, and this hand alone makes many assistants look surprised. At least among these assistants, only one or two hand speeds reach Takahashi Yoichi's level.
It's okay to have a hand speed, but what's abominable is that somehow, Yoichi Takahashi's painting skills are also quite clever, masculine and gentle. Isn't this what Zhao Chen asked for "Football Young Player"! This makes the background of Yoichi Takahashi's paintings reach a very amazing level in terms of fit.
Soon, the background of this "Football Young Player" was painted.
Looking at the picture of "Football Young Player" in front of him, the assistants looked at each other speechlessly, and finally subconsciously fell on a female assistant. She was Youdie, the assistant of "Football Young Player". She came after Zhao Chen gained a foothold in the island country. She was the oldest assistant in "Football Young Player" and the oldest senior among these assistants.
"The level is very good!" Although Youdie stayed in the island country, she learned some simple Japanese words, but she usually communicated in English. Anyway, there are not only one or two of these assistants who know English.
As soon as Youdie finished speaking, the other assistants looked at the assistant of "Football Young Player" with a slightly complicated look, and then talked to Takahashi Yoichi and got to know each other.
This action made the assistant's face unstable. He really didn't expect that the background drawn by Takahashi Yoichi would be so consistent with "Football Young Player". Even Youdie, who has the most experienced qualifications, agreed. What else could he say? You can't try again. He also knew that if he tried again, his face would be greatly lost.
The storm of Takahashi Yoichi's assistant ended like this. Compared to these assistants, Takahashi Yoichi's painting engineer is quite solid. After all, he has been practicing comics since he was a child and has had ten years of experience. He has been a full-time cartoonist for two years. Whether it is a painter, his vision or ideas, he basically surpasses these assistants.
Time passes slowly. On this day, it is the day when the weekly "Youth SORA" is released again.
"Youth SORA" has been released for two years. Although its sales have increased a little slower than before, it has also attracted a large number of loyal comic fans.
It is precisely because of the driving and dissemination of these loyal comic fans that the sales of "Young SORA" are so stable.
In addition, in the 1981 comic magazine total sales rankings, "Youth SORA" ranked third this time. Compared with the tenth place last year, it rose by a full seven places, which can be said to be a brilliant record.
In addition, the World Club also has a comic magazine that is on the list, which is the girl’s bimonthly “angelwings”!
Although it is only tenth, it is mainly because "Magic Card Girl Sakura" was serialized in the second half of the year. Otherwise, the ranking would probably be no worse than "Flowers and Dreams", which ranked fifth, because now the sales volume of each issue of the girl's bimonthly "angelwings" is no worse than "Flowers and Dreams". It even surpasses that of "Flowers and Dreams".
Of course, when "angelwings" entered the total sales ranking of comic magazines, one of them was naturally squeezed out, that is Shueisha Girls' Monthly "RIBON"!
In this way, in the total sales ranking, Tianxiashe has two places, and one of them is the third place, and the other is likely to replace the position of "Flowers and Dreams" this year. It will be terrible to think about it.
Of course, in the total sales ranking list, Baiquan Club occupies as many as three places, namely "Flowers and Dreams", "LaLA" ranked seventh, and "Younganima" ranked ninth! However, the total sales of these three combined are almost equal to "Young SORA".
In this way, among the top ten, Baiquan Club occupies three, Tianxia Club, Primary School Pavilion and Kotan Club each occupy two places, and Shueizhe only has one pitiful one. If "Young JUMP" was not the first place, there would be no psychological changes in Shueizhe's cartoonists.
The sales of the girl's bimonthly "angelwings" have increased, and many comic fans have snatched it from their opponents, which will undoubtedly have an impact on other girl's comic magazines. Whether it is "Flowers and Dreams" by Shirazuki, "LaLa", "Girls COMIC" by Primary School Pavilion, or "RIBON" by Shueisha, their sales have decreased to a certain extent last year.
Of course, the sales reduction caused by "Young SORA" is undoubtedly more obvious, and the victims are basically these comic giants.
It has to be said here that although the "Young Gallop" of the World Club did not enter the top ten this time, it was mainly because "Ghost Eye Mad Sword" was serialized only in the second half of the year.
The reason why "Young Gallop" sales increased significantly is that a large part of it is driven by Zhao Chen's fame, followed by the quality of "Ghost Eyes and Crazy Sword". If you are lucky, "Young Gallop" may occupy a position this year.
Of course, this time, the total sales of comics single-line books were also counted last year. The biggest winner this time was undoubtedly Zhao Chen. "The Rebellious Lelouch" released a total of three single-line books last year, achieving 7 million local sales. This sales directly made it occupy the second place. If it were not finished, "The Rebellious Lelouch" could completely occupy the first place.
In addition, "Baseball Heroes" ranked fifth, "Pokemon" ranked sixth, "Football Teenagers" ranked eighth and "Dragon Ball" ranked tenth. In other words, Zhao Chen's comics alone account for half.
In addition to these five works by Zhao Chen, there are other classic comics such as "Doraemon", "Alarei", "Oolong Police Station", and "Fukulele Boy". "Flamebird" does not have Osamu Tezuka!
Osamu Tezuka is also very powerful. He forced himself to kill a series of weekly and monthly magazines with "Flamebird". Therefore, last year's "Flamebird" only released two single-line books, and was questioned by a comic fan. After all, the comic "Flamebird" was too strange in that era.
A cartoonist occupies five rankings, and this kind of thing has never happened at all. The last record was only two rankings. In this way, it was directly raised to five, and this record was almost impossible to break. It seems that the only one that could be broken was Zhao Chen himself.
As a result, Zhao Chen's fame was further strengthened and consolidated, especially in the comics industry. No matter which cartoonist is, he is very polite after meeting Zhao Chen. The achievements Zhao Chen has made last year are really amazing.
This year, the total sales of Tianxiashe have doubled several times, from less than 5 billion the year before to three million yen today. This total sales have successfully surpassed Baiquanshe and are located below Kotanshe.
Whether they admit it or not, Tianxiashe has completely gained the strength to become a comics giant, and what they lack is only the foundation, but the foundation is worth a few dollars. Whether they admit it or not, Tianxiashe has successfully replaced Baiquanshe and became the fourth largest comics company in the island country.
Who would have thought that in just two years, the world society would become a giant, and the development speed was quite amazing.
In fact, although the total sales of the World Club are only 30 billion yuan, the profit is quite amazing. After all, the comic works with the highest sales are all related to Zhao Chen. Even the works that are collaborated with him have half of the revenue.
It has to be said that last year, Akira Toriyama brought his comic work "Alarei" to the screen, which was the most popular comic last year and was called "Alarei by many media. However, "Football Young Player" is not much different, but the sales of local single-books are a bit big, and the ratings are not much worse than "Alarei".
Although Toriyama shone brightly last year and her personal income tax also entered the top ten comics, according to history, it will become the number one next year. However, Toriyama is not ready to move from its original place, so there is no incident that makes people sweat. This incident actually happened a few years later, in order to keep him, the local government specially built a highway between Toriyama's Akira's family and the airport.
