Chapter 334 Both Comics and Weekly Magazines Exceeded 3 Million Copies! Shocking the Whole

Chapter 334: Both comics and weekly magazines have exceeded 3 million copies! Shocking the entire Japanese comics industry!!

The so-called weekly magazines are published once a week.

Now the comic weekly magazines under the three major Japanese publishing houses are basically published once a week, and occasionally twice a week.

This is also considering the income of Japanese people and the update speed of cartoonists.

However, the price of each comic weekly is different after it is launched.

In the 1960s, it was basically around 300 yen per copy. From the 1960s to the 1970s, it began to rise to 300 yen to 400 yen.

The price of this comic weekly is not fixed. As the economic income of Japanese people and the income of cartoonists increase, there are also printing costs and other considerations.

In addition, every comic weekly in Japan actually has a tax in it.

In other words, those Japanese readers have to pay a sum of money to the country to buy those comic weekly magazines, but this money has been included in the price of newspapers and magazines.

After discussing with the management of the comic company and the publishing house, Xu Qingsheng did not set the price too high, based on the current price of the Oriental Comics Weekly, which fluctuates around 350 yen.

If the price is too low, although it is beneficial to the sales of the Oriental Comics Weekly, the company will not make money and the value is not great.

If the price is too high, there will not be many readers who have the consumption power but can afford it.

According to Yang Ming's understanding of the Oriental Comics Weekly, basically, when the comics weekly of the three major publishing houses in the East were the most popular, the sales of each issue ranged from millions to tens of millions of copies.

From this, it can be seen that the sales of Oriental comics are particularly large, and there are also many readers of genuine comics.

According to the current exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the US dollar, the Japanese yen is beginning to appreciate and the US dollar is beginning to depreciate.

195 yen is equal to 1 US dollar.

350 yen is about 1.8 US dollars.

In Hong Kong now, 1 US dollar fluctuates around 5.5 Hong Kong dollars, which is 9.8 Hong Kong dollars.

A comics weekly costs nearly 10 Hong Kong dollars, which was really not cheap in the late 1970s.

This has formed a unique comics market in Japan, because only in Japan can the consumer group support the development of Japanese comics.

As for China, even if comics are released in China, it is impossible, because when people in China can't even eat enough, they don't even want to ask others to spend money.

"Our Clearwater Bay comics are priced at 350 yen, but you have a certain commission."

This price is fixed.

It is impossible to increase the price like arcade game machines.

As for the commission, of course there is a proportion, and the retail price of this comic weekly may not seem high. If the sales volume reaches 100,000 copies, 1 million copies, or even 10 million copies, it will be completely different.

The most important thing is to release it continuously, which is much faster than the speed of arcade game machines.

The other three giants of Japanese publishing houses release it once a week, the two-dimensional company releases it twice a week, eight times a month, and nearly a hundred times a year, which is also very crazy.

The premise is that the two-dimensional comics are popular in Japan.

At this time, the agents really thought so.

Xu Qingsheng discussed with them and signed the agent contract.

The new Qingshui Bay Comic Weekly will be officially released in three days.

Among them, one is "Dragon Ball", and the main image of the weekly cover is the image of the young Sun Wukong.

One is "Detective Conan", and the main image of the weekly cover is Conan wearing glasses.

In other words, now the Qingshui Bay Comic Weekly publishes two copies at the same time.

According to the content of the first volume of these two comics, ten issues can be published, which means that even if two issues of the comic weekly are published a week, it is enough for the circulation of the comic weekly for a month.

. . .

Three days later.

Chiyoda District, Tokyo.

Akihabara Street.

There is a newspaper stop outside the door of a Maple Leaf Game Hall.

Those young people who like pinball machines or game consoles will inevitably pass by this newspaper stop when they go into the game hall.

Some people saw two large weekly posters posted in front of the newspaper stop.

These young people who are willing to spend money to play game consoles were immediately attracted.

"Excuse me, what is this?"

"Our latest comic weekly."

Comics?

In Akihabara, there are mainly pachinko machines and game consoles, as well as electronic products. In addition, there are bookstores and even comic books in the corners.

You can actually see comic books in this newspaper.

When the young man with dyed hair picked up "Dragon Ball" curiously, he was immediately attracted.

This is definitely a very good-looking Japanese comic book.

"Excuse me, how much does it cost?"

"350 yen."

The young man with dyed hair hurriedly paid for the Clearwater Bay comic "Dragon Ball".

Seeing that there was a different "Detective Conan" next to it, the other party took a look and paid for it.

Two comic weekly books that didn't look very thick, each with only about ten chapters, cost 700 yen, but the other party still felt it was worth it.

More and more young people passing by saw the posters and asked about the comic weekly.

It didn't take long.

The thousand comic weekly books here were sold.

When more and more comic weekly magazines were sold, Xu Qingsheng, who was working at the Second Dimension Company, learned that "Dragon Ball" and "Detective Conan" had just been released and were immediately sought after by comic readers in Japan. He knew that these two comics were popular in Japan.

At the beginning, the Japanese comic publishers thought that printing 100,000 copies was already very good. However, Xu Qingsheng felt that not only 100,000 copies should be printed, but even 1 million copies should be printed.

With Japan's consumption capacity and the accumulated comic consumers over the years, Xu Qingsheng felt that as long as these two comics were recognized by consumers, 1 million copies of the weekly magazine would not be enough.

When those comics were all taken back by those agents for sale, the sales volume in Japan was more than 100,000 copies a day.

In fact, it would be more and more.

The Japanese comic publisher of the Second Dimension Trading Company has been stepping up sales day and night.

As sales continued to rise.

From breaking through 100,000 copies.

500,000 copies.

1 million copies.

Even, sales gradually stopped until 3 million copies.

That is to say, the Qingshui Bay Comic Weekly.

The first issue was published, and both "Dragon Ball" and "Detective Conan" exceeded three million copies.

Among them, the consumers of "Dragon Ball" are mainly male readers from Japan, and the consumers of "Detective Conan" are mainly female readers from Japan.

. . .

Repulse Bay Hillside Villa.

Yang Ming had just finished dinner with his parents.

Butler Lin Dezhong came over and said, "Young Master Yang, it's Mr. Xu Qingsheng from Japan who called."

Yang Ming went upstairs to answer the call.

He had learned that the "Dragon Ball" and "Detective Conan" comic weekly had just been launched and had become popular in Japan, with sales exceeding 3 million copies, which directly shocked the Japanese comics industry.
