Big Manga

On Saturday, Shen Jie wanted to pull Meng Huo out, but Meng Huo was unwilling. Unfortunately...

"Don't stay at home all the time!"

He was driven out by Li Qin with a broom, and Meng Huo was a little helpless. When he was busy at work, Li Qin said that he worked too hard. Now he is not busy, but she thinks he is too homey.

"Here, hat." Standing beside Meng Huo, Shen Jie reached out and handed him a hat: "Let's go on a date!"

She referred to going out with Meng Huo as a date, which was why Meng Huo was reluctant. However, the crowd was kicked out, Meng Huo had no choice but to sigh and take the hat, and then walked out of the community.

"Auntie, thank you!"

Behind him, Shen Jie bowed to thank Li Qin who was peeking out from the crack of the door, and then ran towards Meng Huo excitedly.

"How about we go to the playground today?"

Shen Jie ran to Meng Huo's side, looking at his face glowing slightly under the rising sun, her heart beat faster.

"Today is the release date of "Weekly Boutique". I'll go buy this magazine first." Meng Huo answered absent-mindedly while typing on his mobile phone. He didn't object, but what he said made Shen Jie dumbfounded: "You really won't forget the comics all the time."

However, she likes men with goals. Compared with other boys of the same age, Meng Huo is full of charm. Although he was a little unreasonable in terms of relationships, after getting used to it, Shen Jie found that this was also a kind of cuteness, and Meng Huo's occasional indifference made her feel a little addicted.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Shen Jie has fallen, she also understands it, but this feeling of sinking. She could not and would not resist.

"By the way. What are you doing with your phone?"

Shen Jie asked curiously.

"I texted two of your roommates out."

Meng Huo put down his phone. The corners of the mouth are slightly raised. At this moment, Shen Jie didn't know whether to hate him or like him.

"You haven't been with them recently, isn't that too much?" On the way, Meng Huo continued to laugh: "I remember you used to be tired of being together all day long, but now you have abandoned them all, don't worry about hurting them feelings?"

Alice said that it is more difficult to obtain friendship between women than between men. Shen Jie has two roommates who share the same values.

Meng Huo didn't want to separate them because of him.

"What are you worried about?" But Shen Jie was dissatisfied. She pouted: "I'm with them five days a week, and I've only been with you for less than two days. Why don't you worry about our relationship getting worse?"

"..."

Meng Huo was silent. He couldn't say that he hoped that the relationship between the two would become worse, could he?

Leaving Jiayuan Community, the nearest bookstore is less than 500 meters away, and there are already many people buying books in the bookstore. Sure enough, the busiest place was the comics area. Meng Huo and the two waited in line for more than ten minutes, and bought the "Weekly Boutique".

"Will you watch it now?"

After walking out of the bookstore, Shen Jie asked.

"No, all your roommates have come out. Now ask me where we meet." Meng Huo took out his mobile phone to see the text message, and then dialed out again: "Uncle Lin. I'm going out to play today... well, I'll wait at the gate of the community you."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jie tilted her head: "The driver?"

"Um."

"Hey, the bus is for private use, I want to squeeze the bus with you!"

Meng Huo smiled, he would not be stupid enough to ask why Shen Jie wanted to squeeze the bus, because there would definitely be no easy answer.

Moreover, he is not using a public car for private use, nor is it a government department. That car was originally his personal car. The driver has been idle for the past few months, but he can receive the high salary from Phoenix Company, which is much more comfortable than drawing cartoons.

The only inconvenience is that he needs to be on call, but Meng Huo seldom calls, so he is very lucky to be his driver.

Five minutes later, the car arrived. Meng Huo went to pick up the two girls first, and then the group set off for the playground. With more people, Meng Huo felt that the atmosphere had changed. It was originally a date for two people, but now it seemed to be a gathering of young people, with a youthful atmosphere.

He likes the smell.

The playground on Saturday was very lively and crowded everywhere, but the four of us had a great time. After they were tired from playing, they sat at a drink stand to rest. Meng Huo took out the "Weekly Boutique" and prepared to read it.

"Meng Huo..."

Before he opened the package, a timid voice sounded.

When Meng Huo looked up, Shen Jie's roommate Li Yu shyly avoided his eyes. Although they knew his identity for a long time, the two roommates still couldn't let go of their hands and feet. Sometimes they would get nervous when they called Meng Huo by his name.

"Is there a problem?"

Meng Huo's smile softened. Seeing this scene, Shen Jie took a sip of milk tea, cursing inwardly for being cunning. Meng Huo had never talked to her so gently.

"Yes, that...it was said that you were going to use two comics to deal with Duke Anthony's "Sherlock"." Li Yu pointed to "Weekly Boutique" and asked curiously: "How did you compete? Why did you compete with the magazine? related?"

Shen Jie and Han Xuan's ears perked up, yes, they don't know the specific content of this competition yet.

"This is more complicated to say. We are comparing the sales volume, but not the sales volume of a single book." Meng Huo pondered for a moment, organized his words, and slowly explained: "First of all, time. This competition starts from the serialization of "Sherlock". , It will end two weeks after the release of the manga booklet, um... that is to say, the competition will end two weeks after the release of the booklet of "Son of Detective".

"Then the specific content is the comparison of sales..."

The sales competition between Anthony and Meng Huo was not just a single book competition, it was an all-round competition, including the sales volume of the magazines they were in. This condition was formulated by Zhongxia Company, and Meng Huo did not know the specific reference standard when it was formulated.

But he can roughly understand Zhongxia's concerns, because Meng Huo will have a great advantage if he only compares the single book. The sales volume of booklets has always been far better than that of comic magazines, and Meng Huo is the first cartoonist in China whose booklets have exceeded 10 million. Zhongxia has no confidence to fight against him.

As for magazines, Zhongxia has a huge advantage. Adding the standard of magazines, Zhongxia can widen the sales gap between the two in the early stage. In the end, even if the single book loses to Meng Huo's two comics, the winner is Zhongxia.

The current situation has also developed from this. Although "Weekly Boys" is pressing harder and harder, "Weekly Boutique" will win a part of sales every week. The gap between now and now is close to 10 million copies.

Except for "Five Centimeters Per Second", the sales of Meng Huo's other works have not yet reached this figure. That is to say, Zhongxia Company has used magazines to make up for the two-to-one disadvantage of the final single volume. If Meng Huo does not make changes in time, the gap will become wider and wider.

"It's not fair!" After Meng Huo finished speaking carefully, Han Xuan said angrily, "There is still so much time for the magazine competition, so you are bound to lose?"

"No, not necessarily..."

Meng Huo shook his head. In fact, he was indeed at a disadvantage. The new magazine was a monthly magazine, but he had great confidence in "One Piece". There is a decisive difference between this manga and his previous works, and this difference makes him look forward to it.

"One Piece" will definitely be his biggest hit. It can be released twice before "Detective Son" releases a single volume, and those two times can make up for the magazine's two-month sales gap.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Meng Huo won't lose." Shen Jie patted Han Xuan's head: "Don't be crowed, he still has new works to come out!"

She has seen "One Piece" and is very confident in it.

"But if you lose, Meng Huo, you have to go to England..."

Li Yu asked.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with going to England once." Meng Huo nodded, his words startled Shen Jie: "You don't want to go to England, do you?"

"I've never been abroad, and I really want to see the scenery in Europe." Meng Huo frowned slightly: "But... I think traveling is more suitable, and I don't want to lose this competition."

Shen Jie's face brightened: "Then Meng Huo, we will be together..."

"Brother He Xi, let's go to England together in the future!" An immature voice said Shen Jie's words first, and Meng Huo's body suddenly became stiff. He lowered his head and looked at a girl who was pulling the hem of his clothes.

"I accompanied my mother to the playground to play!"

The little princess of that dessert shop, Ling Shuang, appeared again. (To be continued..)
