Big Manga

After a fast and smooth sound, Meng Huo withdrew his hands from the piano.

He looked up at the calendar, unknowingly it has entered November, today is Friday, yesterday Qin Ya launched a new serial in "Shoulder Manga", and the preliminary sales statistics of the magazine should be completed now,

Just how strong is that romantic princess is, just wait for Alice and Teacher Huameng to come to know.

With a "click", Li Qin, who was out shopping for groceries, opened the door and walked in.

"Xiao Huo, are you hungry? I bought you carrot dumplings."

Li Qin walked into the room with a vegetable basket, and after she handed Meng Huo breakfast, she went into the kitchen and started to work again: "Today's dishes are a lot, and there will be something delicious for lunch."

Ever since Hua Meng and Teacher Tomato came to work as assistants, Meng Huo's house has become much more lively. Li Qin has to buy vegetables every day. She is obsessed with tinkering with all kinds of dishes. It was early in the morning to go out.

"Mom, it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

Meng Huo ate the dumplings, poured a glass of milk, and said, "Recently, Alice complains that your cooking is getting better and better, which made her gain weight."

"Wouldn't that be great?" Li Qin's laughter came from the kitchen: "She's grown up too, let her go back and have a son after gaining weight. When I'm at her age, you'll know how to make soy sauce."

"That won't work." Meng Huo shook his head and said, "She's gone, who will help me?"

He felt more and more that Alice was indispensable, that was simply a full-time nanny. Not to mention, if Alice was not around, he would have to take a half-day car to learn the piano.

But sometimes Meng Huo felt that Alice was too dedicated, and if she really offered to go home and have a baby, he would not refuse.

After breakfast, Alice and Teacher Hua Meng also arrived, neither of them had the usual smile on their faces.

"What's wrong?"

Meng Huo just wanted to ask, but said again: "Okay, you don't need to talk, show me "Shoujo Manga" first."

He knew that they must have known the sales of "Girls' Comics", but Meng Huo felt that he should read it first, otherwise he would not be able to objectively evaluate Qin Ya's comics because of the sales.

Hua Meng handed "Girls' Comics" to Meng Huo, and Meng Huo opened it and read it. The girl comic that Qin Ya launched is called "Star", a very simple name, and the name of the heroine is also called Star.

Xing is a beautiful girl whose parents divorced. She lived with her father since she was a child. Xing also has a twin brother who lives with his mother, and he is the lead singer of the most famous Chinese star group 'SKY'.

One day, Xing's younger brother got into a car accident, and the entire "sky" group was about to be disbanded, so Xing's mother approached her and asked her to disguise herself as a man...

This is the end of the first chapter of "Star". It is a typical shoujo manga. Meng Huo knows how this story will develop without reading the rest: Sky is a star group full of handsome guys. How can a girl appear in it? Of course it's all kinds of love-hate entanglements, polyamorous love...

Meng Huo thinks the subject matter of "Star" is old-fashioned, but old-fashioned is old-fashioned. Celebrities and handsome guys are elements that are sought after by women. They like this set. If this comic is well drawn, it will be difficult to think it will be popular. .

And don't tell me, it's really painted...

This is what surprised Meng Huo the most. The quality of the comics in "Star" is excellent. Although it is not as good as Meng Huo, it is still very similar to the works drawn by professional cartoonists.

Moreover, Qin Ya's name was printed on the page.

"Is this painted by Qin Ya herself?"

Meng Huo raised his head and asked.

"Yes, it's hard to believe. She said that she usually likes to paint. And she has shown her painting skills in public. She should be the one who did the painting." Alice's expression was a little dignified: "Although there are a few assistants, the main painter It’s her, I didn’t expect her not only to write books, but also to be so good at comics.”

It's unbelievable that the genius girl really lives up to her reputation.

"So, what about sales?"

Meng Huo put down the magazine and asked about the topic.

"Sales..." Hua Meng glanced at Alice and replied, "Mr. He Xi, this week's sales of "Girls Manga" are 200,000 less than that of "Weekly Girls."

The difference of 200,000 is the result of preliminary statistics. On the surface, "Weekly Girls" won, but "Shoujo Manga" did not lose either.

A month ago, "Weekly Girls" sold 200,000 less than "Shoujo Manga", and Meng Huo relied on "Inuyasha" to make up and widen the gap. Then last week, the preliminary statistics of "Weekly Girls" were 500,000 more than "Shoujo Manga".

Once Qin Ya's new cartoon was published, the gap narrowed by 300,000, which almost destroyed Meng Huo's advantage. And this is only a preliminary statistical result. The two magazines will be released in the inland in the next few days, and the gap will definitely be further narrowed.

Meng Huo's fan base is the largest in Ninghai and the surrounding areas, and further outside, he has almost the same influence as those second-rate authors. After all, other places do not have the advantage of publicity like Ninghai.

Qingya boosted the sales of "Girls' Comics" in Menghuo's main battleground to the point where she is now, where is she in the mainland? Her popularity in the mainland is much higher than that of Meng Huo.

Weekly Girls is in danger.

"Meng Huo, don't be discouraged, this is not your problem." Alice saw Meng Huo thinking, thought he was sad, and quickly comforted him: "The company knows that Qin Ya is dangerous, so they conducted a spot check yesterday, and the results showed that "Inuyasha" More popular than "Star", you have not lost."

In terms of storyline and painting style alone, "Inuyasha" has reached a very high level. Although Qin Ya is a genius, she still cannot surpass Meng Huo.

The reason for this situation is simple.

"You and Qin Ya are not equal in influence. She has two years of accumulation and has too many fans." Alice said: "You are still young, and you will definitely be more popular than her in two years."

Meng Huo became famous very quickly, but his foundation was weak. His fame was limited to the cartoon industry, while Qin Ya became famous all over the country through novels and TV dramas early on.

This competition is an unequal competition. From the beginning, Meng Huo's chance of winning is to hope that Qin Ya's paintings will not be good. As long as her paintings can be generally accepted by fans, Meng Huo has no chance of winning.

This is a huge gap in reputation and influence, and it is difficult to make up. No matter how good Meng Huo's cartoons are, he does not have the same readership as Qin Ya.

"What else can I do..."

Meng Huo pondered, "Shoujo Manga" has not surpassed "Weekly Girls", of course he does not want to sit still. But to defeat Qin Ya, he has only one way to go.

It is to use the shortest time to let the most people know "Inuyasha".

However, this is too difficult. Even if Phoenix Company does its best to promote it, the effect will not be revealed so quickly, and other methods will be slower.

"I have a way to try."

Alice was a little hesitant, her eyes flickered, and she said, "If Meng Huo is willing to stand up and tell others what pity you are, then I think all the media will focus on you."

A young genius who debuted at the age of fifteen and has just turned sixteen will definitely attract more attention than Qin Ya!
