220,000 copies-this was the final nationwide sales volume of the 169th issue of Story Painting.
For reference, in the previous issue 168, the nationwide sales of the story painting were only 70,000 copies!
It was only a difference of one issue, and in just a week, its sales growth was not 10% as Yin Nan had guessed, but a full 300%!
Therefore, when Yin Nan himself heard the news, he was stunned for a moment--especially when the news brought him a considerable amount of royalties!
"Wow! 100,000 yuan a month? I want a strawberry milkshake! 10 cups!"
"Aren't you afraid of vomiting?"
After casually using Doraemon's fourth story to dismiss the noisy little girl, Yin Nan took A deep breath and finally couldn't hide the smile on his face!
"A phenomenal work…What?"
He didn't really care about the mere 100,000 yuan in royalties--or rather, he had never doubted the enormous commercial value of the comics he knew!
What was 100,000?
In his previous life, just the name of Doraemon alone was not enough for 1,000,000. It was A priceless symbol of the history of comics!
Therefore, compared to money, he was more concerned about what he showed in his first attempt.
A brand new system, a story full of fantasy, a master-level painter, and the popularity on the Internet that was completely beyond his expectations had caused Doraemon to become a true " phenomenal work."
For example, of the two chapters in issue 169, the second chapter was about Nobita turning into a mini body with the help of the " future mini racing car " and playing with his friends. The third chapter was about Nobita exploring the underwater world with the help of Doraemon's prop " Dimensional Door."
As the key props for these two chapters, the 'mini racing car' and the 'bamboo dragonfly' that had been gradually eliminated from the market were sold out in an instant. There were also countless children who were clamoring for the 'teleportation door' from their parents!
In addition, Da Xiong's friends who appeared in the story, namely Gu Xiaofu, Tian Panghu, Yuan Jingxiang, and a few others, also had their own discussion posts. Some elementary schools even gradually had related nicknames.
And this was the so-called 'phenomenal work'-a title that only works that could drive the entire market and even society to change would have!
Even Yin Nan himself did not expect this effect. Although the Doraemon in his previous life was undoubtedly A phenomenal work, it was only the result after it had been fermented for decades!
And now, due to the uniqueness of this world and various coincidences, the popularity on the Internet had caused him to push Doraemon to such a level of popularity with just three stories. This was an unexpected surprise!
As Doraemon's popularity grew, Xia Dong also came looking for her.
"Placing advertisements?"
Yin Nan's eyes flashed when he heard Xia Dong ask about him. There were indeed many people in this world who had a keen sense of smell.
" Yes, it's a collaboration proposal from a snack shop. They're willing to pay 400,000 yuan for you to turn the favorite snacks of Daxiong and a few characters who appeared recently into their LOGO. In addition, they also said that if you're willing to draw a single chapter for their snacks, they're willing to raise the price to 600,000 yuan.”
Xia Dong was obviously tempted-600,000 was not a small sum for the book industry, especially for a small advertisement!
'He's really made up his mind. To think that a newcomer's work would be sold at such a price…'
However, Yin Nan only chuckled when he heard this. He secretly praised the other party's judgment and sense of smell in his heart. Then…
He rejected the other party's proposal without hesitation!
"Uncle Xia, please help me reject them. It's still too early to talk about the advertisement!”
Seeing his confident expression, Xia Dong frowned slightly. Then, he said worriedly,"Xiao Nan, are you sure you don't want to reconsider?”
It was not that he valued the money, but he was genuinely worried that his old friend's son would lose his heart because of his current achievements. Greed was destined to cause pain, and this was something he had always known.
"It's not the right time yet, Uncle Xia. I believe that Doraemon will have more room for growth.”
When Yin Nan saw Xia Dong's gaze, he shook his head firmly. Xia Dong, who had basically understood his nephew's persistence in manga, could only give up for the time being. However, he was still a little worried that his nephew would be arrogant!
Yin Nan could also see Xia Dong's worry. He felt helpless and changed the topic."But Uncle Xia, are you really not going to consider adding an online reading channel for the publishing firm?”
As the saying goes,'it is taboo to talk about something deep when you are close to someone shallow.' However, the relationship between Yin Nan's family and Xia Dong's family was obviously not shallow. Therefore, after Yin Nan had gradually become familiar with Xia Dong recently, he directly spoke up.
After a period of observation, he had long discovered a huge flaw in the publishing firm, Huishi Press. Their investment in the Internet was pitifully small.
To put it simply, other than a simple official website, they had almost no channels or platforms to read their works on the Internet.
In his previous life, Yin Nan, who was used to reading all kinds of webcomics and online magazines, found this to be an incredible thing!
However, when he asked his father about this matter, the answer he got made him instantly understand-to put it bluntly, the two of them were, after all, older people who still lacked trust in the emerging product of the Internet!
Compared to the string of codes on the Internet, they believed more in physical books. Whether it was in his previous life or in this world, although the development of the Internet was different, such people existed!
However, in Yin Nan's opinion, this idea was simply unreasonable. He knew better than anyone else the huge profits that could be obtained from the Internet!
Therefore, he took this opportunity to inform Xia Dong of his thoughts.
"Uncle Xia, look, this is a post on a magazine forum.”
The post that Yin Nan had used as an example for Xia Dong was none other than the post that had been posted by Search in the Ocean of Books!
With the release of the second and third chapters of Doraemon, people enthusiastically discussed everything about Doraemon in this post and gave a lot of comments. The number of views and replies of this post also reached a terrifying 750,000 and 150,000. This was why Yin Nan was sure that the sales of Doraemon would continue to increase.
“...15W？”
When Xia Dong saw this number, he was instantly shocked. As the president of a traditional publishing house, he had never seen such a terrifying power of the Internet!
"That's right! Uncle Xia, look at this…"
When Yin Nan saw that Xia Dong seemed to be wavering, he quickly began to introduce the huge role that online channels could play in his works. He especially made some targeted suggestions for some manga websites in his previous life, which made Xia Dong look at him in a new light.
“... Xiao Nan, I'll think about what you said when I get back.”
However, Xia Dong's overly cautious personality prevented him from making a decision immediately. Yin Nan was also A little regretful after hearing this, but he nodded and did not say anything. After all, Xia Dong was kind to him. Although Doraemon was quite popular now, it was only the beginning stage, so he had time to wait for Xia Dong to consider it.
Hence, Xia Dong bade farewell to Yin Nan and returned to the publishing firm to continue with his work.
