Big Manga

Saturday, "Weekly Boutique" is on sale

A lot of readers gathered in a bookstore, but a strange phenomenon happened: more people bought "Xi" manga than "Weekly Boutique".

"It's strange, the sales volume of "Xi" comics was so good yesterday, why is it still so popular today?" A clerk muttered, and she saw a reader standing in front of the comic counter. I flipped through the samples of "Weekly Boutique" again, and then picked up "Xi" and walked to the counter without thinking about it.

This is not the first time I have seen this kind of scene. Many readers who originally planned to buy "Weekly Boutique" chose "Pity" after comparing the two comic magazines. Is there such a big gap between the two?

"Sister Bai, there is only one manga in Xi, right? Why do more people buy such a strange magazine?"

The clerk asked the senior who was sorting the books on the shelves, and the latter smiled and said: "Mr. He Xi's new work is very good. Now everyone regards "Xi" as a single volume and buys it home for collection. I think the sales enthusiasm may continue for several years. sky.

The cooling rate of single volumes is slower than that of magazines, but today's situation is indeed special. Since the release of "Weekly Boutique", it has been selling well every week, and only this week makes people feel that the door is cooling down. However, "Pity" is different. Its popularity on the first day and the second day does not seem to have changed much.

Many bookstore owners are getting tangled up. They order "Weekly Boutique" according to the usual enthusiasm, but Ninghai is the place where the comic war is the most intense. Under the impact of "Pity", the sales volume of "Weekly Boutique" in this city has increased a lot slide.

Readers are not generous enough to buy comic magazines every day, and how to determine the purchase quantity in the future has become the biggest problem for these bookstore owners.

But there are also people who are not bothered at all.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

In the campus, Sun Minghui laughed unceasingly, but the man standing in front of him put on a dirty face.

"That bet doesn't count, He Xi's new comic is more powerful, it should be given to the person who wins the boxing game, and that's me!" the man said forcefully. He yelled in his heart that it was unlucky, yesterday's "Sorrow" was a big hit, and he was expecting that today's "Weekly Boutique" would save the situation, but it turned out to be a crushing defeat.

The university is located on the edge of the city. Today is a holiday, but many students from all over China will not leave school. Even if they go out to play, they will return to school to buy magazines. Normally, "Weekly Boutique" should have sold hundreds of copies, but now only fifty copies have been sold.

When the school starts, it is estimated that this "Weekly Boutique" can only sell about 200 copies, which is insignificant in this school with 6,000 to 7,000 students, but the boss tragically ordered 700 copies of the magazine.

"Who cares about you!"

Sun Minghui sneered at the man, his "Pity" sold 300 copies in two days. It can continue to rise in the next few days.

A few days ago, the man in front of me was complacent, but now he is ashamed, Sun Minghui feels elated, and this feeling is so refreshing: "At the beginning, you said that you would give me "Xi", but now you regret it. late!"

The man was speechless, feeling very aggrieved.

At noon, the three of Meng Huo finished their lunch at a Chinese restaurant.

"I can come to this restaurant introduced by Alice often." Li Qin smiled. She usually cooks at home, but now she thinks it's good to go out for a meal once in a while: "I found that the rabbit meat is delicious. I also learned to do well."

"Auntie, you can teach me too!" Shen Jie said from the side: "I want to learn too. Auntie, your cooking is amazing."

The last time we had a dinner together, the editors and assistants were all praising Li Qin's craftsmanship. Li Qin casually said that Meng Huo said that he wanted to marry a woman who could inherit her craftsmanship. As a result, Shen Jie kept it in her heart, and she was full of fighting spirit to learn cooking.

Compared with Alice, Shen Jie is more like a hardworking country girl. She has a good cooking skill herself, and it won't be too difficult to master Li Qin's skills.

"Okay, let's do it together when you have a holiday next week." Li Qin likes Shen Jie very much, and she can understand the child's thinking at a glance. She couldn't help showing a smile: "Xu, how about you come to help me next week?"

She looked back, only to find her son stopped a few steps behind, looking to the side with a surprised expression: "What's wrong?"

"Ah, no...it's nothing." Meng Huo quickly looked away and said with a smile, "I saw two people I know."

"Who is it?"

Shen Jie looked over curiously.

"No one, just acquaintances, and have never dealt with each other, let's go!"

Meng Huo didn't want to be troublesome, so he grabbed Shen Jie's hand and pulled it away. As soon as Shen Jie was grabbed by the hand, she didn't mind anything at once, and walked out with the two of them full of joy.

However, in the corner where Meng Huo was looking at just now, a man and a woman were sitting opposite each other. If Shen Jie could take a few more glances, she would definitely be able to recognize these two people as the two most important cartoonists of Zhongxia Company. Qin Ya and Li Xin.

"How about it, is this store not bad? This is a time-honored brand with a history of two hundred years."

Qin Ya asked while eating, she and Li Xin are not dating here, but they are both cartoonists who are valued by Zhongxia, and they usually have contacts.

"Well, it's okay."

Li Xin lowered his head to eat, and said sullenly.

"Why, still not happy?" Qin Ya looked at his face and comforted her: "Be content, you are very lucky to be able to fight He Xi to this extent. If it weren't for Zhong Xia's advantage, his "One Piece" would never You can't even feel it when it's over your head, but He Xi is a real powerful faction!"

In the morning, the two of them visited the bookstore and found that the sales of "Weekly Boutique" were not as popular as "Xi" manga, which was already on the second day of its release, which hit Li Xin hard.

"I'm not reconciled. In the final analysis, it's because the sense of substitution in "The Son of Detective" doesn't meet the hobbies of our people..."

Li Xin wanted to complain, but Qin Ya stretched out her hand: "Stop, come on! Stop being funny."

"Duke Anthony set the stage of "Son of Detective" in China, how could there be a sense of substitution?... Besides, "One Piece" is a fictional worldview, and the characters in it are named in a style similar to that of the West. In terms of sense of substitution , how could it be that "One Piece" is worse?"

What she said made sense, and Li Xin was speechless for a moment. He still couldn't understand that such a wonderful theme as "One Piece" surpassed "Weekly Boutique".

"Why is this?" Li Xin lowered his head, took a bite of the food, and said angrily, "I really don't understand!"

Qin Ya looked at him and murmured in her heart: Does this idiot still ask why? The only explanation is the difference in strength.

He Xi's cartoon strength is simply against the sky. This time, it is not only Li Xin who lost, but also several comics from "Weekly Boutique". past!

"Sure enough, I will be the only cartoonist who will be closest to He Xi in the future."

Qin Ya looked at Li Xin, who was eating angrily, and felt a surge of pride in her heart. As expected, He Xi would not be easily defeated. Only she could compete with him, because Qin Ya also knew how to write stories and draw pictures at the same time. people.

In this world, she is the only one who has the same talent as He Xi.

The comics industry is developing rapidly, and adapting comics is a wrong way after all. It is too unfree and cannot bring out the true strength of cartoonists. Only the stories that I think about are written for comics, so that I can draw the best comics.

"Hey, I'm talking about Qin Ya, how long do you think "Xi" will be popular?" After Li Xin calmed down, he raised his head and asked, "Will it make up for the previous sales gap?"

The gap between He Xi and him is nearly 10 million copies relying on "Weekly Boutique". If the sales volume of "Xi" manga reaches this figure, then He Xi will be on the same starting line as him. The dominance is gone.

"I don't know." Qin Ya shook her head, and replied lightly: "It's normal to be hot for two days, and the specific sales will depend on the situation in the next few days..."

That's what she said, but Qin Ya felt that Li Xin's prospects were not too good... After "One Piece" came out, the revealed trend turned out to be crushing all the way.

"Weekly Boutique" doesn't even have a chance to struggle, it's too miserable!
