Qianwumei Also Wants To Be a Cartoonist

Although the sales volume of the single book of Shooting the Condor is still far behind that of Xia Ying, Ding Hebei still congratulated An Yi and told her that with the sales volume of this single book breaking 5 million this month, An Yi has already entered The ranks of first-line cartoonists!

You must know that even if the circulation of Kingdom of Martial Arts can reach 90 million copies per issue, if you have followed the serial readers in the magazine, if you are not a die-hard fan, you will definitely not buy a booklet for collection. After all, manga is just a pastime. It's normal for things to be forgotten after watching them.

Therefore, ordinary new cartoonists may be lucky enough to be serialized in Kingdom of Martial Arts and even publish a booklet, but the highest sales volume of their booklet can't even break 100,000 copies. Like An Yi, it can directly reach 6 million copies. The sales volume of the booklet is absolutely the rhythm of Manfeng God!

In fact, the monthly sales volume of the single book can also intuitively see the status of the cartoonist in this circle. The sales volume of less than 100,000 copies is the level of the lowest professional cartoonist, and the sales volume of 100,000 to 1 million copies is considered a cartoonist. A real professional cartoonist can support himself, because even if the lowest 5% royalty is calculated, the sales volume of 100,000 copies and the price of a single book ranging from 10 to 20 yuan, the lowest price of 10 yuan is still used for calculation , then the author’s income is 50,000 yuan. Generally speaking, the monthly sales of the booklet in the first month account for half of the total sales. Roughly calculated, the author’s total income of a booklet can reach at least 100,000 yuan. If you can publish a few volumes of booklets, you will naturally earn more.

This kind of income can indeed allow the author to become a professional cartoonist without worrying about food and clothing. However, this is only a third-tier cartoonist, but they can already be called little gods.

Second-tier cartoonists are cartoonists who have sold more than 1 million copies in a single line this month. They can already be regarded as popular cartoonists, and their works can also be turned into animation and live-action TV dramas. To say that they are second-tier is to compare them with first-tier cartoonists and top cartoonists. They are actually considered middle gods.

The sales volume of a line of first-line cartoonists has exceeded 5 million this month, and there are no more than 30 in total, all of them are great gods. As for the top cartoonists, they can be called supreme gods. Among them, Kingdom of Martial Arts has 3, and the sales volume of a single line this month exceeded 10 million!

Mr. Ke Yongqun's Xia Ying sold more than 40 million copies that month, leaving few other top cartoonists in the dust...

Therefore, Xia Ying, a national-level comic, is indeed well-deserved. Its sales are now declining, largely due to the impact of Shooting the Condor, a new school of martial arts.

But the quality of Xia Ying itself is impeccable. Although the martial arts system is a bit outdated, its story is still exciting and the characters are still memorable. Anyway, many readers have long been used to following Xia Ying series, Many people have special feelings for Xia Ying when they buy the booklet collection. It has been with them for nearly ten years...

An Yi's royalty is 10%, which is generous enough for a novice cartoonist. Of course, it is incomparable with Ke Yongqun's highest royalty of 15%, but as long as An Yi continues to increase her popularity, Her royalties are sure to go up again.

The price of the booklet of Seven Weapons is 20 yuan, and the price of the booklet of Shooting the Condors is 15 yuan, which is higher than ordinary booklets. This is because of An Yi's own artistry, and Seven Weapons is even more exquisite The collection of short comics is also more particular about the materials used, so it can command the highest price for a single volume.

But obviously, this also affected the sales of Seven Weapons, but its own slant of the sword also led to its slightly small audience, so it is understandable that the sales volume is not as good as Shooting the Condor, let alone,

Shooting the Condors is still in hot serialization, and Seven Weapons has already finished (lan) (wei). It is an irrefutable fact that serial works are more popular than finished works.

The sales volume of The Condor Shooting surpassed that of Seven Weapons by about 1.5 million copies, which made the die-hard fans of The Condor Shooting very proud in Yi'an Bar, and directly made fun of the die-hard fans of Seven Weapons, but the sales gap was huge There is nothing to argue about. Many fans of Seven Weapons can only smash their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, but they all secretly made up their minds. They must vote frantically to defeat The Condor Shooting!

Obviously, they are all fans of Teacher Yi An, but they are torn to such an extent. This has become an anecdote in the industry, but more cartoonists admire Teacher Yi An's ability to easily control different plot styles. The ability of martial arts comics is as if there are two original authors with different styles but super strength behind him...

Of course, it can be seen that the paintings are all made by Mr. Yi An. Although there are some small differences in the style of the two works, there are some parts that can be seen at a glance as Mr. Yi An's handwriting, especially the fighting plot. There is no way for a cartoonist to draw as brilliantly and excitingly as Mr. Yi An.

So, how much income did An Yi earn from the sales of these two works?

About 4.5 million copies of Seven Weapons, 20 yuan per volume, 10% of royalties, An Yi's income is about 9 million yuan, about 6 million copies of the first volume of Shooting the Condors, 15 yuan per volume, 10% of royalties, Her income is still about 9 million. In a sense, according to An Yi's income, Seven Weapons and The Condor Shooting are actually a tie...

The two add up to a total income of 18 million yuan, and after deducting taxes, she can get at least 16 million yuan in income!

This is a month's income!

It's just the income from the single book!

Monthly income of tens of millions!

Praise this Greater China without piracy!

Do you understand why the comics industry in Greater China is so developed?

Do you understand why there are so many people who aspire to be cartoonists since they were young?

Do you understand why the status of cartoonists is so high?

Because the income of a cartoonist after becoming a god is astonishing. If he can draw a popular work, it will be enough to last him a lifetime!

However, there are so many people who want to become cartoonists and make a lot of money, but the chance of actually becoming a great god is too small! Being able to become a little god in the comics industry is already enough to live a nourishing life...

And many low-level cartoonists can't even obtain the qualifications for long-form serialization, let alone a single volume. Although some can publish a single volume, there is still 8% of the royalties for the first volume, and the sales volume is only 8,000 copies. One volume was 10 yuan, and the income was only 6,400 yuan. As a result, the royalties for the second volume were directly cut to a minimum of 5%, and the printing volume was directly reduced to 5,000 copies. One volume was 10 yuan, and the income suddenly dropped to 2,500 yuan...

As for the third volume?

Where did the third volume come from, the manga was cut in half!
