Big Manga
Chapter 20: Modern Sherlock Holmes
Alice takes the subway to work as usual.
There are posters of "Detective Conan" in the subway cars of Ninghai City, and passengers can hear them talking about it every time.
This made Alice proud. When she was an agent, she was tired of hearing people talk about celebrities, but now as an editor, she felt very happy when she heard others praise the cartoonist she was in charge of.
However, on this day, just as Alice walked into the subway refreshed, she saw another poster.
"Influencing the world for forty years, the bible of mystery novels——"Detective Sherlock" is a comic book, and the booklet will be released on September 10!"
Alice was shocked.
There was also a man and a woman who walked into the subway. They also noticed the new poster. The man in it was stunned: "Honey, am I dazzled? I saw the news that the masterpiece "Sherlock" has been comicized?"
Woman examines poster.
"No, let me see, the booklet is published by Longteng Company, and the manga author is Mach? What... the handsome Mr. Mach? He is my idol!"
"I called my dad. He loves to read "Sherlock" the most. He has read both the novel and the movie several times!"
The man took out his phone as he spoke.
Alice's face was pale, she quickly took out her mobile phone, and called the editorial department in a panic: "Editor-in-Chief, something serious happened!"
"I know, the company will hold an emergency meeting immediately." Ye Xiong's voice was urgent: "Alice, don't come to the company, you should go to Meng Huo immediately to appease him, and don't let him lose confidence."
"Yes!"
Alice answered, and the phone hung up.
She turned around and ran out of the car, ignoring the siren beeping behind her, and rushed to another line in a hurry.
Dragon Company, Teacher Mach, and "Sherlock", each of the three things shocked her. Regardless of Longteng Company, which is the first publishing group, Mr. Mach is an idol cartoonist, and Longteng Company is one of the best signs.
This cartoonist is 30 years old and has debuted for ten years. He has a superb style of painting, and more importantly, he is handsome and has countless fans. He is known as the most handsome cartoonist in the comics industry.
Of course, the scariest thing is the book "Sherlock"...
"Sherlock" is a novel published by British novelist Anthony in 1974. It is known as the bible of mystery novels and the crown of wisdom. Its influence is all over the world and has not diminished for forty years.
Novels, movies, dramas, music, the commercial value generated by it exceeds tens of billions, and everyone knows it even in China, and it has accompanied the growth of a generation.
Unexpectedly, Longteng Company could obtain the copyright of its comics!
"mean……"
Alice cursed secretly, including all the editors of Phoenix Company who thought the same as her.
Adapting a novel into comics is not something that can be done overnight, Longteng Company must have obtained the copyright of "Detective Sherlock" very early. They didn't disclose it to the outside world for a long time, but they intervened when "Detective Conan" released the booklet, which was obviously aimed at Phoenix Company!
The detective fever caused by "Detective Conan" will become the best advertisement for "Detective Sherlock". The number of readers of the two is not at the same level, and the outcome is almost a certainty.
"What is Sherlock..."
at this time,
Meng Huo also saw the news from the Internet.
He had no interest in Longteng Company or Teacher Mach, but this book was a literary masterpiece, and the information he found on the Internet made Meng Huo feel suffocated.
Anthony, the author of "Sherlock", has an IQ of 160. He published this novel at the age of 30 and became a hot literary star all over the world. His huge influence even made the Queen of England bestow noble status.
The moment he saw this introduction, a flash of light flashed in Meng Huo's mind - Sherlock Holmes, isn't this the modern version of Sherlock Holmes? No, it may be even more exaggerated than Sherlock Holmes! !
The more amazing introduction is yet to come. This novel won Anthony the Nobel Prize for Literature. He has increased the number of reasoning writers by more than ten times in the past 40 years. "is regarded as an enlightenment work.
Perfect reasoning, ultimate wisdom - after the author Anthony completed this masterpiece, he proudly declared that there is no mystery novel in the world that can surpass it.
Now that he has abdicated, he did not expect that Longteng Company could still get the copyright from him.
"Detective Conan" and "Detective Sherlock" will be released at the same time as a single book?
"How to compare!"
Meng Huo was annoyed, he didn't expect the first opponent he met to be so terrifying.
The serialization of "Detective Conan" has been going on for two months, and the sales and publicity are doing very well. However, no matter how popular it is, it can only become a household name in Ninghai City, where the publicity is hot, and the number of readers in other regions is estimated to be no more than Three million people.
Moreover, the "Weekly Shonen" magazine has a limited distribution, not everyone is willing to buy a magazine for a serial comic, and the number of readers who have actually read it will be even less than the number of people who know it.
As for "Detective Sherlock", it is really a world-famous masterpiece that everyone knows.
"It's too much, Longteng Company is obviously suppressing "Detective Conan"!"
"It's not considered suppression, it's just time colliding together..."
The chat room of the Big Sister League is also talking about this topic, and the discussions of these female fans cannot be optimistic.
"Whether it's suppressed or not, they will be released at the same time, and the sales must be compared. Who do you think will win?"
"As much as I wish for Detective Conan, it just doesn't compare."
"An ordinary manga, a literary masterpiece, alas, and it was written by the handsome Mr. Mach..."
"I like "Detective Conan" very much, but Mr. Mach is also my dream!"
"Yes, I really want to marry him..."
Seeing his fans talking about another cartoonist, Meng Huo was very upset, but he soon realized that it was a man's vanity at work, so he gave a wry smile.
"Not mature at all."
After living two lifetimes, how can you still be jealous about this kind of thing?
However, there are obstacles to overcome the value. Fighting spirit surged in Meng Huo's heart. The road has been smooth all along, which made him feel illusory and unclear. At this time, an opponent appeared, but told him that the world was not easy.
But how to defeat "Detective Sherlock"? No matter how you look at it, "Detective Conan" has no hope of winning, but Meng Huo still wants to do his best and fight with his heart.
When Alice arrived, it was Meng Huo with bright eyes who opened the door for her.
"It seems that I don't need to appease..."
Alice smiled bitterly in her heart, and was shocked at the same time.
Meng Huo looked more energetic than usual. Perhaps this situation should allow him to comfort the editors?
