My Animation Era

  Chapter 89 "Comic World"

   A great man said it.

  In one's life, the most desperate thing is that school will start soon, but you haven't written a single word of your winter vacation homework...

pain! It hurts so much!

  Dear teacher, why... why do you assign so much homework?

   Liu Xing was a little bit broken.

   After the new year, he has been "struggling" at home for three consecutive days, but there are still a lot of homework for the winter vacation, which has not decreased in the slightest.

  Who can stand up to this?

   You must know that it is mid-February, and there is only about a week left before the start of spring school. If he wanted to finish the rest of his homework, he might not even have to sleep for a week.

   "Deserved it!"

  Xia Yu smiled brightly and said: "Who told you to be lazy, fooling around with the mouse and keyboard every day during the holidays, and not doing homework?"

   "I was..."

  Just as he was about to refute Xiao Yu, before he finished speaking, Liu Xing suddenly remembered.

Yes indeed!

  He played with the mouse and keyboard during the holidays, so he didn't do his homework, but he didn't do the homework for the mouse and keyboard, why didn't he see them and worry?

Could it be that…

   Someone secretly finished writing?

   Liu Xing, who was worried that he had no homework to copy, couldn't sit still when he thought of this, so he quickly climbed to the computer and found the mouse through the buttons.

   "I'm dizzy, what are you doing mouse?"

   "I'm stepping on your space, what's the matter? Remember to step back if there's nothing to do, and help me water it by the way..."

  I pour peat!

   Liu Xing sent a sweaty emoji, and immediately asked, "Did you finish your winter vacation homework?"

   "Did you finish writing?"

   "It shouldn't be! Just copy the reference answer, and it will be done in one night!" The mouse replied.

   Reference answer? !

   Liu Xing's eyes were confused.

   Isn’t this thing torn up by the teacher as soon as the winter vacation homework is handed out? Where did the mouse get the reference answer from?

   "It's not easy! Buy it!"

   "You go to the Jiaofu Bookstore to buy the same winter vacation homework, won't there be reference answers later?" the mouse said with a contemptuous expression.

   Liu Xing: "..."

  Long experience!

   Could it still be done like this?

   "Stop talking, I'm going to 7 Fan!"

  After explaining the source of the reference answer, the mouse went offline soon. Watching his "abandoned by the world" profile picture slowly turn gray, Liu Xing also turned off the computer.

   Goal, Bookstore!

  Because he just received a sum of New Year's money during Chinese New Year, Liu Xing was so confident that he didn't even need to ask his parents for money.

  Of course, he didn't dare to ask for it.

  If Liu Donghai and Xia Mei found out that he used money to buy winter homework just for the convenience of copying the answers, they would definitely tear him apart.

  Hurrying to the bookstore, Liu Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief after finding the "winter vacation homework" he needed on the teaching aid bookshelf.

  Don't worry now!

  There are reference answers, and the remaining homework can be done in two days at most... Oh no, it can be done in one day! A big stone that weighed on my heart finally fell down.

"Wow even!"

"so smart?"

  Just as he was about to turn around and go to the cashier to pay the bill, and when he went home and quickly finished copying the answers, a burst of exclamation came from the next door, which caught Liu Xing's attention.

What the hell?

  He turned his head to look, and it turned out to be a group of children around his age, gathered in the "comic area", each holding a magazine and reading it with gusto.

   Liu Xing was very curious.

  He took a closer look, and it turned out that the strange book that made everyone exclaimed and made various "weird" sounds from time to time turned out to be a comic magazine.

  The name is "Manga World"!

   On the cover is a beautiful girl character that has never been seen before, and there is a Pleasant Goat wearing a gold medal next to it, which looks very attractive.

   Liu Xing also picked up a book to read.

  Crybaby who is a bit confused—Usagi Usagi, the black cat Luna with a crescent moon pattern on her forehead, the evil Kingdom of Darkness, Sailor Moon in a sailor suit...

  Vivid characters and wonderful stories made Liu Xing very excited.

   "Sailor Moon?"

   Before finishing the first chapter, Liu Xing decided to buy this comic magazine, took it home and read it slowly.

   Because he found out.

  In addition to the "Sailor Moon" that made him feel bright, this magazine actually has a serialization of "Sheep and Goat Games".

   Now, I have to buy it!

  …

  With Nantong as the editor-in-chief, Manbao Comics published the "Manga World" weekly comic magazine, which was launched on February 15th.

  Because it has just been published, there are not many comics serialized in the magazine.

  In addition to the new work "Yangyang Games" written by Nantong Sensei, and "Sailor Moon" written by a beautiful manga artist in Neon, there is only one submitted work.

  That's right, the first issue of "Manga World" magazine was published, and only these three comic works were serialized.

   It sounds like a small number, but the actual number of pages is close to 100, and the binding is not too thin.

  Then here comes the problem!

  How much should such an issue of "Manga World" be priced?

  At first, Gu Miao negotiated with Mr. Nantong that the price was 5 yuan a book, and it would not be too late to raise the price later to occupy the market with a low price.

  But Nantong thinks that the price is too low.

  The comic magazine they want to do is not the kind of magazine that "wins by quantity", but "wins by quality". This also means that their manuscript fees are very high, and the single volume is priced at five yuan, which cannot be paid back at all.

   But the price is too high.

  If it is too expensive, fewer people will buy it, and the sales volume will definitely not be high. So after comprehensive consideration, I finally decided to set a price of 10 yuan per issue.

   This is no problem.

  The price is 10 yuan per book. If the sales volume can reach 100,000 copies, excluding the costs of printing, typesetting, transportation, sales and other channels, it can completely afford the author's remuneration.

   If more than 100,000 volumes?

   Then make a big profit!

   "How about the first issue sales?"

   Ma Kui chewed his gum and asked curiously: "We spent money on a wave of promotion, the sales shouldn't be ugly, right?"

   "Not ugly."

  Gu Miao explained: "Although it didn't reach 100,000 volumes, there are more than 80,000 volumes. For the newly launched "Manga World", this achievement is already very good."

  80,000 volumes is not too small.

  Even the heyday of "Zhiyin Manke" did not sell so many copies when it was first published. What's more, it's only been sold for a few days?

   When "Manga World" releases a new issue next week, the sales volume of the first issue may have exceeded 100,000 copies.

   After all, this is only the first issue.

  Publish a few more issues, and with a fixed base of readers, sales can basically stabilize at more than 100,000 copies. Even being bold, it is not impossible to surpass "Zhiyin Manke".

  Don’t look at the fact that “Zhiyin Manke” has been published for so many years, and there are so many comics serialized, but to be honest, the overall quality is really not high.

  Being the leader of domestic comic magazines is nothing more than...

  It’s just a foil to the peers!

  Before Wanbao's "Comic World" was launched, Gu Miao also bought a few other comic magazines and took a look.

have to say…

  These opponents are really good, and the quality of the serialized comics is far inferior to Wanbao's "Manga World".

  The advantage is mine, so what can I lose?

   Seeking collection monthly ticket support~!
