Chapter 236: Magazine Preview
"Sherlock" and "Son of the Detective" were released at the same time, however this refers to the same week, the days are different, the anime is broadcast on Tuesdays, and the manga is on Saturdays.
Meng Huo watched the first episode of the animation of "Detective's Son" at home, and he thought it was not bad, but that's all. CCTV did it very carefully, but the effect was not particularly surprising, and the songs in it were also very old.
"I've heard these songs, and they seem to be songs from previous Sherlock movies and TV series."
Li Qin told Meng Shu that she had actually watched the TV series adapted from this novel, although she didn't watch it seriously, but you can imagine how popular "Sherlock" is.
Meng Shu felt that the old songs might be able to evoke the memories of some old readers. He didn't understand whether CCTV's approach was right or wrong, and whether attracting old readers would disgust the main age group of comics, young people?
It's hard to answer these things, in fact, the overall quality of the Sherlock anime is okay.
However, animation is different from comics, and its spread will not be restricted by channels, so Meng Huo can be sure of at least one thing, the two animations of "Sherlock" and "Cat and Mouse" together still can't surpass "Pokemon"!
In this regard, Meng Shu felt that CCTV was doomed, and their new animation would make "Pokemon" even more powerful. It's a pity that Zhongxia Company will not be affected, "Detective Sherlock" is broadcast on CCTV, which is only good for their comic sales.
On Wednesday, before the release of "Weekly Boutique", "Weekly Girl" was the first to go on sale. This is the first step in Phoenix's promotion of the new magazine, underneath the girly cover. Now a slogan is printed.
"Phoenix is about to launch its latest magazine - pity."
It's a line of words that isn't big or small. Magazine covers advertise other comics and books. It is generally easy to arouse the reader's disgust. However, this time it is different, the name of the new magazine is "Xi", which makes readers think about it.
"Sorryβisn't that what you mean by the teacher?"
"Wow! New magazine, why don't you want to launch your own magazine? β
The young girl who bought the magazine was full of excitement, but there was no other information in the weekly magazine except for a slogan, and the new magazine was very mysterious and had an appetite.
"It's a pity that the teacher wants to come up with a new work! Do you know the truth? β
"Is there an insider on the news of the new magazine? Is there any new work in it? Or is it just the name of the teacher? β
What a pity, on the home forum, readers scrambled to ask questions, and Meng Shu shook his head in his heart when he saw these people's comments - it wasn't that he didn't want to leak more content, but it was inconvenient to do so now.
A few days ago on the weekend, the name of the new magazine was finally set as "Xi", with only one word, Meng Xu felt that it was not good, but Alice and Shen Jie agreed in agreement, and he nodded in agreement.
"Pity". When this magazine was announced, it could also be called "Ximan" - a comic magazine that means what to do. The rest of the Phoenix Company had no objection, and things started to go well. But they ran into trouble at the approval stage.
Unlike ordinary books, Chinese newspapers and periodicals have to go through strict government approval procedures before they can be published, and only magazines with issue numbers can be brought to the market. One issue number is aimed at one magazine, and Phoenix has only two - "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl".
The approval time for the issue number of the magazine was 10 working days, and Alice, who had been editing for less than a year, did not know about the matter in advance, and as a result, Meng's plan to sell it next week went bankrupt.
"It's going to be delayed for another week......"
Meng Shu regretted it, but this was the bitter fruit of his failure to investigate clearly, and now he can only temporarily reduce the content of the publicity. Even in order to prevent accidents from happening, he didn't even have time to write down.
If all goes well, One Piece will be released two weeks after the release of Detective's Son.
"New Magazine!"
However, the news that Phoenix Company was going to release a new magazine still aroused the extreme attention of Zhongxia Company.
"It's so fucked up......" Yang Liang was angry in the office: "Why do you want to use a new magazine to deal with "Detective's Son", no wonder he hasn't told us what the second comic is, he must be planning to launch a new comic in this new magazine!" β
Duke Anthony wanted to let He Xi have two copies against him, and most of the people in Zhongxia Company, including Yang Liang, thought that He Xi would use the previous comics, and the previous comics could win sales better than "Detective's Son" basically not.
They didn't question this fact, they didn't expect to release a new comic, to say the reason - why has too many works been released in the past few months, "Dream Eater", "Ouran High School Male Public Relations Department", "Fate/staynight", it stands to reason that he can't release new works so soon.
"Can't he stop a little?" Yang Liang's head was big, he looked at Wang Zhe next to him, but found that he was very calm: "Wang Zhe, you don't seem to be strange at all?" β
Wang Zhe nodded and said lightly: "It's a pity that the teacher's speed has already numbed me......"
He's different from Yang Liang.,Last year, he saw the speed of He Xi's new work.,This time it's a new work.,He didn't even feel much surprise.,Maybe the only thing that's a little surprising is that he didn't expect the new work to be launched with a new magazine.γ
"Minister, don't worry." Wang Zhe opened his mouth to appease Yang Liang: "The sales of "Weekly Boy" are the extreme of Phoenix Company, even if they launch a new magazine, they have limited time, and it is impossible to create miracles. β
"As long as the new magazine does not exceed the circulation of Weekly Shonen, we still have an advantage."
Zhongxia estimates that the circulation of "Weekly Boutique Quality" will be more than half of the current one, more than twice that of "Weekly Boy", and theoretically speaking, as long as Phoenix's new magazine does not exceed "Weekly Boy", Zhongxia will win.
"Makes sense! You have a point, if it's a magazine...... That can't be more than Weekly Shonen! β
Yang Liang thought about it, Wang Zhe was right, the magazine market is more difficult to develop. It took a long time for "Weekly Shonen" to have its current sales, and the number of cartoonists constrained the development of Phoenix, and a new magazine had no chance of surpassing "Weekly Shonen", unless that magazine provided a personal stage for Ho Xi.
But a magazine has hundreds of pages at a minimum, so how can you do it to this extent when you have so many serialized comics?
"It would be an exaggeration to do it......"
Yang Liang muttered, he felt a little headache. Midsummer has just launched an animation, so why not launch a new magazine to deal with it immediately, obviously, the kid has long been ready.
"Sure enough, it's a little fox ......" (to be continued......)
