Chapter 164: He Xi's Expectations

"He Xi's self-confidence—as long as I am a female reader, I can surpass Zhongxia comics!"

Looking at a news headline on the Internet, Meng Huo couldn't laugh or cry: "It's just nonsense."

How can he have such self-confidence, just drawing shoujo comics in shoujo magazines, isn't that a matter of course?

This incident happened on the night when "Weekly Girl" was released. Meng Huo had been busy all day, so he could only spare time in the evening to read other people's comments on "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" online.

The media has praised and criticized, but generally speaking, it is still appreciated. There seems to be only one reason for the belittling: it is not suitable for male readers to watch.

This point of view is really prominent, and many male readers also leave messages in his personal space.

"Mr. He Xi, your mythical status in my heart has been shattered. I never thought that you would give up your integrity for those female readers!"

"I don't like "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department". I feel uncomfortable when I see the public relations. Those six tall, rich and handsome look like ducks. Teacher He Xi, you let me down."

"I can't stand it anymore. The more I draw, the worse it gets. It's disgusting. A man actually draws a harem manga of the heroine!"

"I have always thought that Mr. He Xi, you are different from other cartoonists, but now it is getting more and more vulgar. What is the difference between "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" and other girl comics? I might as well go to Qin Ya's "Stars" ", at least she is a decent girl!"

These comments were made by male readers, and then aroused the dissatisfaction of female readers.

"You boys think "Weekly Girls" is your home? It was originally a manga for our girls. If you don't like it, just leave. No one begged you to read it!"

"Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps. What's the point? Boys' novels and comics have three wives and four concubines, why can't girl comics work? And "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" only has one episode, how do you know it is?" The harem? What if it's pure love?"

"Don't pay attention to them. I saw several professional trolls just now. I don't know where I saw the news and came here directly. I may have never read the comics. People who like Teacher He Xi will not bb here. I It’s a girl, but I will read everything that Mrs. He Xi draws, and I will go to grab "Weekly Boys" all night tonight, have you formed a team?"

"Add me. I happen to be on the night shift—"

"Me too, "Weekly Shonen" added me, and by the way, I am a male reader, the story of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" is quite interesting,

I believe that Mr. He Xi will not fall into the routine of rebelling against the palace, and will definitely draw new ideas. "

Meng Huo flipped through several pages of comments. Although there were many belittles, most of them were praises. The simple truth is that "Weekly Girls" is a place where girls' comics are serialized, and male readers can deal with them rationally if they don't like them. Only a small number of people who care about everything will criticize.

And tomorrow will be "Weekly Shonen", male readers are looking forward to what new shonen manga will be released.

The beginning of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" is very girly manga style, and it will also cause people to have a misunderstanding of the harem, but the later development is still very good, and the emotions of the male and female protagonists are relatively specific. Time will tell its worth.

After turning off the computer, Meng Huo was satisfied: "It seems that the sales will not be bad."

There are such intense discussions on the Internet, which means that it is very popular, and the sales of "Weekly Girl" will not be bad.

—————

At this time, in a shopping mall, several women were choosing clothes.

"My mother called me just now and told me that she bought a copy of "Weekly Girl". She asked me if I had a manuscript for the next issue. I said no, and she blamed me for being useless as an editor..."

"Don't tell me, today's magazines are selling very well, and there is no place to sell them when I get off work."

"Well, although the flash report hasn't come out yet, but judging by today's situation, the results are not too bad. The editor-in-chief said that as long as the sales of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" are good, the company will give us all bonuses, which is great. .”

This is a group of female editors of "Weekly Girls". When they found out that the bonus was promising, they went shopping together.

Several people chatted and chatted. Slowly, I became a little disappointed: "However, we really need to reflect..."

"Yes, I have made an appointment with some teachers. When they arrive, I must open their minds tonight!"

It is a good thing that the sales of "Weekly Girls" are booming, but why have so many serialized comics been cut in half, and the sales have not decreased but increased? Could it be that He Xi really beat so many people by himself?

As usual, the editors would definitely put all the reasons on He Xi, but this time it was different.

This time, the drawing work of "Sakura High School Male Public Relations Department" was mainly done by two female cartoonists. Such a hot sales volume at least proves that the quality of this cartoon is guaranteed, and their drawing skills are beautiful enough.

Then why did it end up being cut in half even though it was a good painting? At its root, it is still a matter of storytelling.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

A female editor scratched her head, feeling annoyed when she thought of the group of elm lumps under her hands.

"It's not easy." "Yeah, it's easy to say, how can you use your brain..."

The other editors were helpless, not everyone was like He Xi, for most cartoonists, it is very rare to come up with a few good stories in a lifetime.

"I found that brains are not as useful as guidance." Another female editor suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Didn't Mr. He Xi give us a theme of "Magic Girl" before? Now we are releasing the comic copyright of "Pokemon". They are all very good!"

When Meng Huo handed over "Magical Girl", the female cartoonists used their brains one after another, and one after another thematic works emerged. It's been a few months, and "Magical Girl" is still a hot topic for submissions, and the quality of submissions is much higher than other shoujo manga.

Last week, Meng Huo released the comic copyright of "Pokemon", and several female cartoonists also thought of ideas, such as the heroine and the elves participating in a gorgeous performance contest, which made people's eyes shine.

"guide?"

The other editors glanced at each other: "Isn't this unrealistic?"

"Original comics are all crossing the river by feeling the stones. The market is so small. Everyone writes according to previous experience, and the model is fixed. And all the time, we have been persuading cartoonists to draw those routines. What else can we guide?"

"There's no way around that. If you want to write a new subject, it's not easy to be recognized by readers..."

"No—it was true in the past, but it's different now. Every work of Mr. He Xi has a new theme, and each of them is popular. If we let cartoonists go to Mr. He Xi's works to find expectations and create original works, Guess it will work."

An editor was talking and getting excited: "Yes, that's right, I found my way!"

Others are curious.

"What road, please tell me in detail!"

"Looking for something to look forward to!" The editor explained excitedly: "For example, when I was watching "Detective Conan", I kept thinking why Kidd had so few appearances, and I was especially looking forward to his appearance again. This is the expectation. point."

"Other readers are definitely looking forward to Kidd's appearance. Suppose a teacher uses Kidd as a model and draws a manga. The hero is a mysterious and elegant phantom thief magician like Kidd. Wouldn't that satisfy part of the readers' expectations? ?”

The other editors' eyes lit up.

"It seems to be, I am interested in listening to it."

"The point of expectation—I think this is interesting. The point of anticipation can be developed in many places, such as the witches, monsters, and love in different time and space in "Inuyasha". These can be used."

"Not only that, the cherry blossoms in "5 Centimeters Per Second" are also very well drawn, and can even be used as a theme! I especially like the part of the tram in the snow, and I think readers will also want to read a similar story."

"Mr. He Xi's works are full of gold. His comics are so charming, and they will definitely leave readers with a lot of reverie. These reveries are actually the point of expectation!"

The more the editors thought about it, the more excited they were. They discovered a brand new path, a path that would allow other cartoonists to catch up with He Xi.

Other cartoonists look for the unsatisfied parts of readers' expectations from He Xi's works, and then rely on these expectations to create stories. The comics developed in this way are not only rich in types, but also very interesting, and even a group of "witches" will appear "Sakura" and many other comic genres.

"Good idea, call the editor-in-chief!"

"Don't call for the time being, we'll talk about it at work tomorrow, the editor-in-chief is busy checking "Dream Eater"."

"Yes, it looks like I forgot about it. But the company is too partial to "Dream Eater", and even asked two editor-in-chiefs to do the final inspection together..."

"There's nothing you can do about it. "Dream Eater" is a manga created by the chairman himself. He requires both male and female readers to get used to it. The editor-in-chief is under a lot of pressure."

"It's a pity that in this way, "Weekly Boys" has to surpass us again."

"Dream Eater", since "Detective Conan", this is the manga that Phoenix Company has paid the most attention to. In fact, many female editors have also read the first draft of the manga. They think it is very good, but not so amazing.

Some people even think that it can't reach the height of "Detective Conan", but Xu Jing insists on going his own way and has high hopes for it. Xu Jing has been looking for such a comic. "Dream Eater" is a comic that can be used as a teaching material and can influence many people. It is also a very difficult comic.

Forty years ago, Anthony influenced countless people with "Sherlock", and the number of reasoning writers in the whole world doubled several times.

Also in China, the competition for novels is fierce. The reason why Longteng Company breaks out is that several books describing novelists play a key role. Some young people saw the life of novelists, saw their struggle and glory in Longteng, and began to yearn for this profession.

Qin Ya is one of them. The people she symbolizes have brought vitality to Longteng Company and also contributed to the prosperity of the novel.

Xu Jing’s idea is very simple. He hopes that there will also be a comic about the struggle of cartoonists in the comics industry. If this comic becomes popular, it will not only make people understand and accept comics better, but also have a positive impact on the future development of the comics market. Impact……\t()
