Chapter 197： activity

"The time is set, it's October 20!"

"That will only be one week away!"

"It's just Chu Yu. In order to cope with the release of the booklet, Xuangui and the publishing house that issued the booklet are going to let you hold a fan meeting and signing event in Magic City on that day, so I'm here this time except to pick up this week's comics. In addition to the draft, the same...... is also here to discuss this matter with you, and you can see if you can spare some time on that day." Li Xi said.

"October 20th, Wednesday..." Chu Yu thought for a moment.

"Yes, no problem, I will ask for leave when school matters, comics, etc., I will work extra hours in advance to draw both works!"

"It's just... what I'm afraid of is that there will be a signing event that will be embarrassing if no one comes!" Chu Yu said.

"No one, what are you thinking?" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu speechlessly.

"Although you know that you are less concerned about the outside world, at any rate you are now the author of the second most popular manga author among all the works that Hyungui is serializing now!"

"Furthermore, works such as Natsume's Friends' Account, which is hugely popular among the female crowd, hold an signing event in the magic city. How can it be possible that no one will come?"

After Li Xi finished speaking, he thought about it and told Chu Yu more news.

"This time Natsume's pamphlet is issued. The publisher estimates based on the sales of works of the same level in our Water Edge Periodicals. The first three copies of Natsume's Friend's Book are scheduled to be printed in the first edition of 400,000 copies each, with a total of three volumes. With 1.2 million copies, people are so confident that you are even worried that no one will come to hold an autograph meeting?"

"Really? A lot of people will come to the autographs issued by the manga artist's booklet?" Chu Yu wondered.

After all, he saves others by himself. Anyway, he feels that no matter how much he is interested in a comic, he will not be interested in the creator of the comic, even if the author of the comic he likes is held next to the house where he lives. Chu Yu might not be interested in participating in such an event.

It's just that the first edition of every single book that Li Xi said has printed 400,000 copies, which aroused Chu Yu's interest.

After all, that's all money!

Now that he has invested money in animation production, he is jingle poorly.

"Then Li Xi, based on the past situation, how much do you think the sales of Natsume's Friends Account will be?" Chu Yu asked.

"I thought you were really going to stay in Buddhism! You finally asked a question that normal cartoonists should care about." Li Xi glanced at Chu Yu and continued.

"From a normal point of view, as long as a work maintains its quality level online, its single-line sales can be roughly estimated."

"Looking at the past sales of Longguo's very popular comics, in general, its volume sales are almost three times the first week of sales in the first week of release."

"Anyway, according to the conservative estimate of our Xuangui, I think the sales volume of the booklet of Natsume's Friends Account should reach more than one million after the issuance, but the upper limit cannot be accurately estimated, so we should be conservative. The printing volume of the first issue will be set at The volume of each volume was 400,000 copies, and then the later printing volume was adjusted according to the sales situation."

Chu Yu heard this, quickly passed this information in his brain, and compared the gap in comic sales between the two worlds.

In Japan, which is a parallel world, the ceiling of manga pamphlets is basically a slam dunk. The masterpieces such as Pirates have sold 4 million copies of the pamphlets. However, in addition to a few manga that can achieve this result, compared with other manga. It's far worse. .

The top comics in that world, the single-line book sales are on the order of 2 million, which is already a big hit.

For example, works such as giants and hunters are all in this category.

This is the ceiling of the world's comic book sales.

In Long Country, due to population factors, works of the same quality often sell more.

For example, Tang Xin's dream world...

Tang Xin serialized Dream World for three years, and the booklet of this work was sold to the thirteenth volume. Each booklet contained ten comics, but the total sales volume of the booklet could reach 31 million copies, which is an average volume of two hundred and thirty. Around ten thousand copies.

This achievement in Japan, a parallel world, is already a comic achievement comparable to an old monster like Fujian.

But in the Dragon Kingdom, this achievement just made her barely qualified to enter the ranks of the top cartoonists in the Dragon Kingdom.

Attention, it is active duty, and the old man in the comics industry who has already closed the pen is not counted. Otherwise, even the top cartoonists who are still serializing comics in the Long Kingdom are not comparable to those old monsters.

But with this conservative sales estimate, Chu Yu was also satisfied. After all, based on the average volume of the single volume, Chu Yu can serialize more than 50 words about Natsume's friends in a year and issue five single volumes.

Calculated on the basis of the sales volume of 1 million copies per volume, the total sales volume in a year is 5 million, and the single book price of 25 yuan per volume, and then Chuyu’s royalties are divided into 10%.

Then Chuyu can get more than 12 million Dragon National Coins by relying on the single-line book sales of Natsume’s friends’ accounts a year, plus various other income such as author’s remuneration. Let’s not say anything else, at least Chu Yu is now because The financial distress of investing money in animation production can also be alleviated.

And the millions of rolls are just a conservative estimate of Hyungui. The reason for being conservative is that Natsume's Friends Account has not yet been animated and has not converted a large number of animation enthusiasts into a group of comic fans.

Otherwise, if the broadcast of the animation and the release of the booklet were carried out at the same time, then Xuangui would not be so conservative.

But the broadcast time of Natsume's Friends Account has been scheduled for April next year, which is only half a year away.

Thinking about this is a matter of time. As long as the animation production is normal, Natsume Animation will definitely drive the sales of the single book of Natsume's friends' bills after the broadcast.

"Anyway, prepare yourself!" Li Xi said.

"You are now worried that no one will come by then, but I think that there will be a lot of people who will come by then. I am afraid that you will be soft when signing and signing!"

"After all, after Tang Xin had only experienced this kind of thing once, it has been two or three years now. When I mention activities like autographs, fan meetings, etc., she refused with a face, even rather If you go to work overtime and draw cartoons, you are not willing to participate in such activitiesNot that exaggeration!" Chu Yu felt that Li Xi was a little exaggerated.

"I'm not exaggerating, you'll go see it then!" Li Xi glanced at Chu Yu.

After 　　 finished speaking, he left soon.

Only Chu Yu was left alone to meditate.

The main meaning of this kind of activity is the meeting between the comic author and the fans. If it does go, it will be the second public appearance of Chu Yu's cartoonist career in the past few years.

The first time was when the Dragon Star Award was presented.

If it is not necessary, Chu Yu really doesn't want to participate in this kind of activity, because the higher the exposure, the higher the probability of being recognized. He doesn't really want the people around him to recognize him and affect his life.

But this kind of event was held by the publisher of the booklet and Xuangui, and it would be inappropriate to not go.

People are helping you make money, but you want to be a salted fish. This is obviously unreasonable.

"Forget it, I don't think I have any attraction for people to come to interact with me, maybe there will be few people in the past, just do it, maybe the event is over!"

Chu Yu thought this way, and suddenly felt more comfortable.
