My Animation Era

  Chapter 428 Rarity (for subscription)

  The popularity of the first volume of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" manga booklet exceeded Nan Tong's and Gu Miao's imagination.

before this.

  Nantong reported to Gu Miao that the estimated sales volume was around 50,000 to 100,000 copies. After all, this is only the first volume, and the initial sales will definitely not be too high.

   After this comic series has a certain influence, the second and third volumes may have good sales.

  But no one expected...

  It is only the first volume of manga in a single volume, and it is selling so well in bookstores and newsstands everywhere? In just one week, it was reprinted three times in a row, and the total sales exceeded 200,000.

   This is also a huge hit!

  Continuing to sell like this, the first-month sales volume of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" manga comic book is probably going to hit 1 million.

  What is the concept of monthly sales of one million copies?

best seller? ! Shit!

  No bestseller can do it. Such an exaggerated sales data can't even be compared with the recent popular youth pain literature.

certainly!

  The sales are so hot, behind it is actually the credit of the student group "word of mouth". Out of curiosity, Gu Miao also visited several surrounding schools to investigate.

  It seems that the comic "Yu-Gi-Oh" is really popular in school, especially boys, who are basically discussing the content of the comic.

   seized the student market and became a popular trend on campus. It is no wonder that the sales of comics are not high.

  And this is on the premise that some students like to "borrow" other people's comics and don't like to buy books to read by themselves.

  If students, instead of borrowing comic books from their classmates, choose to buy one for themselves, the sales will only be higher, and it is estimated that they will all reach the top of the annual bestseller list.

   I can only say it's a pity!

  Gu Miao sighed at the trend brought about by the "Yu-Gi-Oh" comics, but was also curious about one thing.

   Manga has sold many copies now.

  So, as a core derivative of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" card, has anyone bought it and played it?

   "Yes, and many."

  Mr. He of Wanbao Toys had a smile on his face. After hearing Mr. Gu's doubts, he said with a bright smile: "Our cards were originally intended to be sold together with comic books, that is, when you buy comic books, you will get a bag of cards."

   This is normal.

  Because at the beginning, no one was sure how big the market size of this unique card would be? To be conservative, selling comic books together is the most correct choice.

   But the result was unexpected.

  With the popularity of comics, more and more people began to ask, where can I buy the "summon monster" card in the comics.

   Driven by profit, Wanbao Toys printed a batch of Yu-Gi-Oh cards with the idea of ​​“trying it out” and made them into card packs worth 10 yuan a bag, and sold them in small batches in some dealer stores.

   This batch of card packs was snapped up by enthusiastic comic readers and sold out quickly.

   Reprinted! Keep printing!

  In order to satisfy the hungry and thirsty consumers, Wanbao Toys subsequently carried out multiple batches of reprinting.

   Deadline is April 7th.

  Mr. He told Gu Miao that the sales of Wanbao Toys had exceeded 5 million yuan in the "card bag" business alone.

   This also means that while the comics are popular across the country, 500,000 bags of derivative card toys have also been sold.

   It's outrageous!

  In Lao He's original words, someone would buy a piece of thin paper that costs only a few cents for one yuan. This kind of sales data is simply picking up money with sacks.

   "It's not enough to pick up money in a sack."

  Gu Miao waved her hand, and said with a smile, "But this thing is cheap, so it's really a huge profit."

   "By the way, Mr. Gu!"

   When it comes to the peripheral derivatives of "Yu-Gi-Oh" comics, that is, the game card of the same name as Yu-Gi-Oh, Lao He quickly explained: "When making the cards, we didn't have time to distinguish between rarity and value. What do we need to do?"

  Rare and rare?

  Gu Miao stroked her chin and thought for a while, then said, "This needs to upgrade the printing process, and make more patterns on the card surface."

   "I believe that the gold and silver cards will not be hard for you. The key point is the flashing process on the card surface, can it be made now?"

   "You can try."

  Old He pondered: "In terms of difficulty, it's actually not particularly high. The main reason is to do this kind of card face processing, and the cost will increase a lot, so the price..."

   "Don't worry about the price."

   "This kind of rare card can't print a few copies. Strictly control the packing rate of rare cards and common cards, and the price can remain unchanged."

   After saying this, Gu Miao paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, then added: "Oh, that's right!"

   "In addition to the normal way of distinguishing the rarity of the card surface, you can also make another way of distinguishing the rarity."

   "How to distinguish?"

   "Try to print as few monster cards as possible that have special value or great significance." Worried that Lao He wouldn't understand the meaning, Gu Miao specifically pointed out, "For example, the blue-eyed white dragon must not be rotten!"

   "I hope that the blue-eyed white dragon can maintain its character. No matter what it becomes in the future, this card is still rare. Only one or two out of ten people have it..."

   This is Gu Miao's bad taste.

  In the "Yu-Gi-Oh" animation, and in the "Yu-Gi-Oh" manga, the first monster card that readers and viewers come into contact with is [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] that was certified as a "rare card" by the original Kazuki Takahashi.

  For this card, Haima even went to rob the game’s grandfather and tore up his [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] to ensure the uniqueness of the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] card in his hand.

   This episode left a deep impression on Gu Miao.

  He felt it at the time.

   Damn it! Is the blue-eyed white dragon so powerful? How could Haima, the young master of a big consortium, do such a "shameless" thing?

   It can be said that the card that Gu Miao most longed for when she was a child was the blue-eyed white dragon.

   And this desire, he didn't realize it until he grew up. It turned out that he had been cheated when he was a child. Whether it was the blue-eyed white dragon or the three phantom gods, it didn't seem to be a particularly rare card?

Do not misunderstand!

  The rarity he mentioned refers to the rarity of common cards, not the version with special card surface treatment such as golden card flash.

  In the animation, only Haima has three blue-eyed white dragons, and the three phantom gods are extremely rare.

  Available in reality…

  It's really meow, but every card player, everyone has the blue-eyed white dragon and the three fantasy gods. Although it's not a particularly rare gold card or silver card, he at least has it!

   Who are you going to reason with?

   Gu Miao, who was deceived by the animation plot, suffered a huge blow to her young heart. To use Internet buzzwords, that is the state of "has been blackened".

   Now that I have the opportunity to personally formulate the rarity and rarity classification method of "Yu-Gi-Oh" cards, Gu Miao will certainly not let go of [Blue-Eyes White Dragon].

   Not to mention meeting the standard in anime and manga, where there are only three copies in the world, and all of them are in the hands of Haima...

  At least it can’t be a bad street. Out of ten people, only one or two people own it at most. This is the most suitable rarity.

   Boil! I don't know who it is. When filling out the epidemic prevention registration form, I filled in the phone number and name as mine. When I received the call from the village, I was stunned...
