Chapter 144 This newcomer is so awesome!
At a summary meeting held in the middle of the month, more than 40 middle and high-level executives of Qunying Society sat quietly in the venue.
Of course, the upper-level seats are more spacious, while those with lower status can be squeezed into a ball.
In the small reporting room, Saburo Mikami was making a report, and his voice echoed through the loudspeaker.
"These are a few messages from last night, but they are not on our comic website, but are spontaneous messages from comics friends in other comic forums on external sites. I selected some and read them for everyone."
[Parasite beast! Have you seen Parasite? ]
["Parasite" is awesome! Be sure to go see it! ]
[Highly recommend "Parasite"! There has never been a comic that can capture me within two chapters! Not even "One Punch Man"! ]
“Countless similar posts began to circulate on the Internet, and many comic fans came here to see it.”
"The traffic of our web comic site has increased by 60%! The vast majority of it was contributed by "One Punch Man" and "Parasite"!" Sansan Saburo clarified Oda Shingo's contribution to the Guneisha web site.
The number of collections of "Parasite Beast" has reached 80,000. In just one week, it was so terrifying.
And according to background data, the reading completion rate reached an astonishing 96%!
Although it is only a reference value of two episodes serialized online, the high probability that comic fans can watch it until the end is enough to prove that this is a work with an extremely gripping plot.
Especially the 24-hour catch-up rate is as high as 66%! Dumped the second place’s work by nearly twice! Dumped the third place’s work four times!
Ah, the second one also belongs to Oda Shingo.
In fact, "One Punch Man", which ranks second in the reading rate, has a 24-hour reading rate of 35%, which is already very amazing.
"...To sum up, we can draw the conclusion that Oda Shingo is an unparalleled comic genius! I suggest that our agency support it with maximum resources!" Saburo Mikami was not stingy in his praise.
This was his effort to gain maximum support for Oda Shingo at the group meeting.
The head of the supplement department joked: "Oh, Mikami-kun, if I hadn't known your age, I would have thought you were a groupie!"
He is from the vice-president Xiaoshan faction and has always wanted to make progress.
There was a burst of laughter all around.
Saburo Mikami was not angry, but smiled and said, "If he is willing to appear in your publication, you will praise him as much as I do."
After saying this, Mikami Saburo was stunned for a moment.
How did your temper change? I would have endured it in the past.
Maybe it's Oda Shingo's influence? That little grumpy guy is really cool!
Mikami's words of retort may seem plain, but they actually contain heartfelt sarcasm.
The head of the supplement department's face suddenly became as sinking as the bottom of a pot.
"Jump+" is a supplement of Qunying Club, and it has always lived in the shadow of "Jump".
When it comes to Qunyingshe, the first thing that comes to mind is "jump", not "jump+".
It can be said that it is a child raised by a second mother. Whether it is a marketing budget or an operating cost budget, it is far from being comparable to this magazine. Even the web department, which has not been profitable for a long time, is not as good as it is. This is the eternal pain of the supplement department.
The head of the supplement department took a breath and then turned to attack: "It's a pity that such an excellent comic genius can't help your department turn a profit!"
This is a very obvious attack within the company, especially in the public monthly reporting meeting.
The prelude to the blood exchange in Qunying Society is already turbulent.
However, Saburo Mikami grinned: "Thanks to your concern, Oda Shingo's two comics have brought huge popularity to the website, and we have signed multiple advertising contracts. I may have to show a smile in next month's monthly report."
As soon as these words came out, people in many departments showed surprised expressions.
"The web department, which has been losing money for three years, is going to turn around?" someone exclaimed in a low voice.
"No way? Oda Shingo is the great savior?"
Although it is said that we are in the Internet age and the paper media market has been impacted, in fact, online comic subscription and other websites have not yet entered a profitable period.
Many people know that web subscription may be the future trend, but it is hard to say when it will be profitable. Other comics clubs in the industry, such as lecture clubs and student hall websites, except for those that focus on color and are profitable, are formal and traditional.
But I didn't expect that a new cartoonist would actually give our Qunying Club web department hope?
There is also a newcomer at the level of Daotouqing, who whispered: ""Parasite" is really good-looking, I think it will be a big hit."
"It's not just a big hit, maybe it can sell IP!"
"Don't be ridiculous, you think so beautifully!"
Assistant Okita was right next to him, pumping his fist excitedly and whispering: "I believe in Mr. Oda Shingo's works, these are all possible!"
After the meeting, many editors quietly opened the backend and began to use the internal electronic version of "Jump" that was about to be published, and looked at the parasitic beast.
Due to the tradition of double first publication, Oda Shingo’s first appearance in this magazine will be a 4-episode series!
Many people were also very surprised. I didn’t expect that I could still stick to the tradition of double publication despite having been given a quota of 50 pages.
A smart editor looked at the electronic approval record and found that it was approved by the old minister.
"I value it very much. No, maybe it's the last glory the old president wanted before he left?" Someone murmured privately.
The editors looked at "Parasite" and were soon stunned.
An old editor was even more shocked. No way? Could such a work be painted by a newcomer who has just made his debut three months ago?
Although I can’t praise the painter too much, it fits the plot very well, and there are no mistakes in the musculoskeletal human body postures, etc., making it look like it won’t be out of place.
The scariest thing is the plot and rhythm!
It’s not that the content is terrifying, but that the eye-catching power of this master-level plot and the smooth rhythm of storytelling, especially the combination of the two, have created a huge sense of expectation among comic fans!
In the second episode, after killing the parasitic dog with a volley to the chest (?), the protagonist's psychology changed.
In the beginning, Shinichi started from being afraid of parasitic beasts, to approaching boldly and wanting to change into a hero, and even wanted to kill the parasitic beast murderer secretly!
pretty! This emotional transition is great! The old editor nodded while reading. A protagonist who is a high school student should have such a mentality, and it is easy for comic fans to relate to it.
Otherwise, many fans will think that since Shinichi knows the existence of parasitic beasts, how can he let them kill people?
The next step in the comic plot is to encounter a normal parasitic beast.
A strong young man with a parasitic beast on his head.
Because Shinichi didn't listen to the dangerous warnings from the small right-wing newspapers, he fell into crisis!
Shinichi is sweating.
[Kill that man and come over to my side! ] The young parasitic man cut off his right hand, held up the bloody arm, and persuaded Xiaoyou to move to his body.
Shinichi was sweating profusely.
[If we manage our bodies, we can live at least 140 years! ] The young parasitic man continues to seduce.
Shinichi looked at his right hand in horror.
Xiaoyou seemed to be contemplating the pros and cons, and did not speak or move for the time being.
Shinichi was so scared that his whole body was shaking!
Because he knows Xiaoyou is cold-blooded and ruthless!
Because he knows that in the next second, an extremely terrifying scene is likely to happen!
[I can’t wait. If I killed him, you would probably react. ] The young parasitic man gave an ultimatum.
A sharp knife struck Shinichi's neck!
"Huhuhu——" The old editor took a few breaths and did not continue clicking.
How many years has this not happened?
I was actually completely absorbed by the comics?
Oda Shingo, this newcomer is so awesome!
