Chapter 508 Can Oda Nobuo Do It?
The slow sales of "Champion" was a common thing a few months ago.
But after the arrival of Oda Shingo, the release of every issue of "Champion" has almost gone smoothly, and the sales curve has shown a very beautiful arc. Anyone who has read it will know that the market popularity is extremely high.
But this time, "The Burial of Florian", which had been extremely popular before it was published, unexpectedly failed, and its sales showed a decline on the same day.
This is the full display of celebrity effect. Success is also a celebrity, failure is also a celebrity.
Readers will pay because the author is a celebrity and blindly buy a large number of magazines in the early stages of sales.
But once the reputation is bad, the social impact will expand exponentially, and negative reviews will have the absolute upper hand.
Because everyone has a basic psychology, which is to hope that celebrities will overturn.
"Hahaha! Oda Shingo is really crazy about making money! He wanted to be both a money-maker and an artist, but as a result, the slow-paced comics lost his reputation and became a loser!"
"That's right, that's right. I've long thought that even a genius can't make a comic popular. There is no such person in the history of comics! Even the master of comics (taboo) Shama has never done it. ”
Especially readers who don't like this slow-paced comic from the beginning will stop reading immediately and go to the Internet to express their disapproval of this comic.
And those readers who like this comic are still reading as many as five chapters of the comic.
A shortcoming of Oda Shingo's five-episode series at once also emerged at this moment. This resulted in complimentary comments from the back-up, which came too late.
After the herd mentality on the Internet became a climate of denigration, many people did not dare to speak up.
Although many of Shingo Oda's fans tried to argue for him, a wave of low praise has set in.
Spring Bookstore Headquarters.
"What should I do? Minister, it seems the wind is going in the wrong direction!" Assistant Okita was anxious.
This was the fifth time he asked the minister tonight.
Saburo Mikami kept holding his chin with his hands in front of the table, but his buttocks were actually numb.
He was hesitating, he was considering, he was thinking, of course... he was also confused!
Too bad! Oda Shingo really encountered Waterloo!
I had previously suspected that the pace of this comic was too slow, but due to past results and fear of offending his feelings, I did not insist on my opinion.
It’s my uncle who can’t help you, brother-in-law! Mikami Saburo thought guiltily.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the minister's room.
"Sanlang, the market response to Mr. Oda's new work is not good, right?" It was Ran Takano, the director of the supplement department, who came over. She looked anxious as soon as she opened the door.
Assistant Okita quickly resigned and closed the door.
"Indeed." Saburo Mikami looked serious.
But Takano Ran was more anxious than him, and rushed to his desk and asked: "Then you can still sit still? Hurry up and find a way to help Mr. Oda! Don't let anything happen to him."
"Well, what could happen to him?" Mikami Saburo was surprised.
Something seems wrong? Why are you so anxious?
Takano Ran expressed her concerns about Oda Shingo in a barrage of words:
"What if the market doesn't respond well and he can't eat?"
"What if readers rate it too low and he can't sleep well?"
"What if Mr. Oda, who has never experienced failure in the manga market, suddenly loses his mind?"
Saburo Mikami looked at her, feeling quite upset.
Please, you are my girlfriend! Why do you care about other men to this extent?
That guy Oda Shingo didn't draw Netori in the new manga. Could it be that he was doing Netori in my place in reality?
By the way, does my uncle’s wife also have the attributes of a sister-in-law? Mikami Saburo thought wildly for a while.
"Don't worry, I'll get a tip from Yuko." Fortunately, he quickly stopped thinking and took out his phone to call his sister.
If he comes directly to see Oda Shingo, it may increase his psychological burden. It's better to look at the situation first and then talk.
Gao Yelan agreed with his method and silently gave a thumbs up.
The call was connected a little slowly.
"Hello? Yuko, I want to ask Shingo about him..."
"Huh-huh-huh-huh-" Yuko's rapid breathing came from the phone speaker.
Gao Yelan's face turned red and she quickly took a few steps away.
Mikami Saburo quickly covered the phone with one hand and whispered: "Yuko, what's wrong with you?"
This work is uploaded by the organizer~~
Yuko's voice was intermittent: "It's all Shingo's fault... He, he suggested that I try this posture, huh, I'm exhausted..."
"Ahem, you, it's inconvenient for you right now, then, I'll call you later." Saburo Mikami rolled his eyes and quickly hung up the phone.
Then, he and Gao Yelan were speechless.
Unexpectedly, Oda Shingo would still have the heart to try new positions with his sister at this time!
Mikami Saburo could only say awkwardly: "Well, it seems that Shingo is still confident. It seems that we are worried in vain."
"We'll wait for market feedback." Gao Yelan also nodded in agreement.
But she quickly blushed again and didn't know what she was thinking.
But what neither Saburo Mikami nor Ran Takano knew was that Yuko Mikami was not doing anything with Oda Shingo at the moment, but was practicing yoga by herself in the room...
During dinner, Yuko Mikami said she wanted to exercise. She felt that her body shape was too disadvantageous.
Oda Shingo didn't think much about it and casually mentioned yoga. Because he felt that with her petite figure, it was absolutely impossible to train any muscles, and it would be more appropriate to do judo.
So Yuko Mikami practiced yoga in front of the pad video, trying very difficult postures, and then she received a call from her brother.
They patiently waited for further feedback from the market, and indeed many comic fans discovered the advantages of this work.
Many old comic fans patiently watched the five consecutive episodes of Oda Shingo's update, and the more they watched, the more they felt interesting.
The plot of the second episode of "The Burial of Furrilian" is that many years later, Furrilian went to visit Haita who lived deep in the forest and met the orphan Philen who lived with him. Furrilian was entrusted by Haita to teach Philen magic and take her on a journey together.
Furrilian and the others came to the village with the bronze statue of the brave Sinmel. She remembered the flowers that Sinmel said he liked when he was alive. But this flower from the hometown of the brave has been extinct here for many years. Furrilian stubbornly wanted to find it, and Philen thought it was a waste of time.
It took a lot of time and effort. Maybe it was a coincidence or a chance. On a deserted tower where the thieving wild mice accumulated food, Fulilian found a bunch of blooming flowers...
"Flilian, in the future, I want you to see it with your own eyes..."
The words that the hero said before his death emerged in my mind.
Many readers felt as if a string was gently plucked in their hearts when they saw this.
Is the hero's story back then corresponding to today decades later?
Some older comic fans who have experienced life, old age, sickness and death are deeply touched.
They feel that Oda Shingo is telling a beautiful story.
