Almighty Fat Goddess

Chapter 562 Issuance of the First Booklet
And because of the doubling of the weekly serial number, the length and pages of "Man Like a Pirate" quickly reached the requirements for publishing a single book. The ordinary 32-format book is also called Xinshupan in Japan, and the length of about 180 pages is already Enough, so that Glory Animation had to advance the plan of the single book.

Publicity.

printing.

do the cover.

First print runs were also discussed.

At another monthly meeting...

"Tell me, how appropriate is the first print of "Man Like a Pirate"?"

"Editor-in-Chief, I think you can try citing [-] volumes first?"

The other editor shook his head and frowned.

"One hundred thousand copies is a bit less, right? With the current popularity of "Man Like a Pirate", I think at least 20 copies are needed as a base, and it may be more. This time it is related to the honor of our glory animation as a whole, This opportunity cannot be wasted!"

When the others heard the number, they shook their heads.

"20? Impossible."

"It's the first volume. 20 is too high. This is the treatment of a top cartoonist. Xiaobai is just a newcomer, without the support of old fans, I guess it will be difficult for [-] volumes. Serialization is different from a single volume... ..."

"But the current "Man Like a Pirate" is already the hottest serialized manga in Japan!"

"The booklet hasn't been released yet, and we don't know how the sales will be. It's too early to say which manga is the most popular."

"I think 20 copies are fine. The number of recommended votes for "Man Like a Pirate" has more than doubled that of No.2. Now, as long as you read manga, almost everyone has read "Man Like a Pirate"!"

"A compromise, I suggest 15."

"I think……"

……

In the popularity survey report of "Man Like a Pirate", the data is so high that no one can believe it. It has won the first place for many consecutive episodes, and the data is more than twice that of No.2.

But word-of-mouth is word-of-mouth, and sales are sales. This has to be discussed separately. It’s not like there are comics that are highly praised but appear in their original form as soon as they are published in a single book.

They, the old editors, have seen this kind of situation a lot. Many comics have become popular all over the country when they first came out, but after the booklet was released, no one read it immediately.

Just like some celebrities, this year he may be popular all over the country due to his shit luck, but by this time next year, he will be more popular than him.

To issue a booklet, investment is required. This is not a small amount, especially for a small-cost company such as Glory Animation. If it makes a profit, it will make a fortune;

The publishing house and investors finally adopted a compromise method, and decided to publish 15 volumes of the first booklet. Everyone was happy, and then...

The next month, Huaxia Haoyue Video Animation Unit launched a color version of "A Man Like a Pirate", and the number of viewers quickly exceeded 300 million.

But at this moment, on the largest animation platform in China - CP Anime Forum, because of the serialization of "Man Like a Pirate", one stone caused a thousand waves!

The reason is that an anime fan posted a wave of advertisements for "Man Like a Pirate" on this forum, and then, the following discussions quickly exceeded [-]!
Discussions come from all over the world!

First of all, the anime fans in Huaxia...

"It's very good-looking, I can't imagine that our country's comics have reached such a pinnacle!"

"Congratulations, I've read it several times, and I'm looking forward to a booklet!"

"When will it be done? I want to buy Luffy!"

"Shit, this is Japanese manga, okay?"

"The correct answer from above is that this is a Japanese manga, and... it seems that it has not been authorized. It is estimated that it will be taken off the shelves soon, and I may have to watch pirated versions in the future..."

"Support Chinese manga, boycott Japanese manga, "Man Like a Pirate" die!"

……

There are several domestic attitudes. One is that no matter what kind of manga it is, just watch it if it looks good, and leave if it doesn’t look good.

The other is not to read Japanese manga at all, regardless of whether it is good or not.

There is also a kind of obsession, swearing garbage, not watching, boycotting, and then open the website to watch it secretly after the swearing.Scold after reading.

The attitudes abroad are also quite schizophrenic, most of them think this is the best anime so far, but the fans in Japan are more divided.

They frantically posted on the forum, all shouting and cursing.

"Garbage, Chinese people plagiarized, it has reached the point of heinous!"

"This is basically a cartoon of our country. You dare to reprint it without authorization. It's too shameless!"

"To spread the word to friends in Huaxia, the manga "Man Like a Pirate" was serialized by our country's Glory Animation Publishing House, and it is still being serialized, and I can be sure that the other party has not authorized any domestic or foreign comics. If a unit or company reposts this cartoon, the Haoyue video in your country has already involved infringement, and you will probably pay a lot of money, just wait for the lawyer's letter!"

……

When domestic comic fans hear this, how can they sit still?
They ran to the official Weibo and website of Haoyue Video to inquire, but no one replied at all, but the reposting continued.

So they turned from asking questions to swearing, and Baifeng's Weibo was even completely taken over.

"Garbage Baifeng, can you copy it if you have money?"

"If you don't have the ability to make good comics, don't do them. What's the point of plagiarizing others? Shame on the whole world!"

"Help you if you don't support the wall, Mr. Bai, can we take some time to plagiarize, can't we just change Japanese to Chinese? Let's change their name anyway, even if it is changed to One Piece, it's all right now , was called a dog..."

"Boss Bai probably went to court, alas..."

"I am a loyal fan of Pirates, but today I am heartbroken. This animation is actually a Japanese manga. Why did you lie to me for so long?"

……

The silence of Haoyue's video made fans believe even more that this is Riman, and this is plagiarism!

They are silent, but there are always people who are not silent, for example——Glory animation...

Glory Animation has officially released the first 15 volumes of the booklet, and the sales are so hot that they are almost crying. They just printed the second batch of 30 volumes, and the company received a notice.

This time, the company's regular meeting was held in the middle of the month for the first time since the establishment of Glory Animation, because the situation was urgent...

The editor-in-chief laughed at himself jokingly.

"Hehe, our Glory has been established for so long, and finally someone copied our comics. This is also an indirect acknowledgment of the popularity of our "Man Like a Pirate"."

The deputy editor-in-chief nodded, and also smiled.

"Yeah, fans of Huaxia Manga have a higher vision. It's not a rare classic animation in a century. They won't watch it at all. As far as I know, up to now, there are only 5 Japanese manga that China can watch in genuine pirated versions. , In other words, of the hundreds of thousands of animations in our country, only 5 have been recognized by Chinese fans, and our "Man Like a Pirate" is one of them. This is indeed a supreme recognition ah!"

Several investors nodded, but they spoke with serious faces.

"Although we are all happy to have their approval, it is too rude and illegal to repost without our authorization. I think we need to have a discussion on this matter."

"Yes, we are the genuine ones. They are all pirated copies, plagiarists, and thieves. They take our things to make money, and they don't even say hello. They must be sued!"

"Let the lawyers from the animation center come forward..."
