Qingyuan Book City is the largest bookstore in Ninghai, but it is not so much a bookstore as it is a comprehensive book city centered on books, integrating various entertainment measures such as cafes, gymnasiums, and computer rooms, and receives tens of thousands of readers every day.

He Qian is a temporary staff member in the comic section of the book city, and because she can read comics freely, her vision is quite high.

"It's good that a story should be drawn so exposed, is this the only way to sell the characteristics of the current comics?" She flipped through a comic book called "The Female Knight" and frowned.

With the booming market for comics adapted from novels, in order to increase the sales of single books, cartoonists always like to play with the side ball in the style of painting, which does attract many male readers, but also causes some female readers to be unhappy.

He Qian is one of them, and she wants to read comics instead of love magazines.

"The best-selling novels are almost adapted, and the quality is getting worse and worse, so it seems that there is no ...... to watch for the time being"

He Qian put down "The Female Knight" while complaining, she sorted out the books that had been misplaced by readers as usual, and when she was about to leave, she found that the bookshelves of the comic weekly were surrounded by many readers, and it looked very lively.

"Why is it so lively there?"

She returned to the counter with a question, usually comic book weekly is always short of readers, and people go there to see the industry news: "Are there any popular novels that are going to be adapted into comics?" ”

Inside the counter, Bai Ya, who had just finished settling the bill for a guest, laughed: "There are no popular novels, there is an interesting original comic in this issue of "Weekly Boy", and everyone is discussing it!" ”

She looked through the sales records of the computer and said: "Today's "Weekly Boy" has surpassed the sales of "Female Knight", and last week there were not so many copies sold, and the store manager said that the order was too small and he had rushed to increase the stock. ”

Journals outsell popular single books?

He Qian was stunned: "What kind of comic is that, which top cartoonist's new work." ”

"It's not." Bai Ya shook her head, her eyes full of playfulness: "Do you remember the cover of the last issue of "Weekly Boys"? I told you at the time that there was a mysterious author with the same pseudonym as yours, and that the new comic was his work. ”

He Qian recalled the last issue of the weekly boy, the cover was a strange black figure, it was a new serialized trailer, and I remember that the name seemed to be "Detective Conan". She wasn't very interested in detective subjects, so she didn't pay attention to it at the time.

How can a detective comic have such a strong appeal? He Qian couldn't help but be curious, she wanted to squeeze over to take a look, but it was not good to hinder the reader.

Fortunately, there is a paper wall at the entrance of the comic area, which is a major feature of Qingyuan Book House, and the owner of the book city gets inspiration from the Internet, and there are free sticky notes outside each area. Readers can post their favorite book reviews and impressions on the sticker wall, which can enhance reader interaction and allow operators to more accurately understand the psychology of readers.

He Qian walked to the door and found that the sticker wall had been covered with dense sticky notes.

New topic initiation: Recommend a new serial in this issue of "Weekly Shonen", the name of the comic is "Detective Conan", what do you gentlemen think? I think the author's painting skills are superb, combined with the preferences of young people to depict unpopular subjects, white but vulgar, maybe it will be popular. (PS: The last picture is God!) ）

First Floor: I agree that the last picture is beautiful, but the story is ...... Is this TMD a detective story? Is the author kidding us?

2nd floor: Thanks to the landlord for the recommendation! The art style is so good, the male boss couldn't be more handsome, it feels like an interesting love comic! But is it really okay to make the male protagonist a child in the first word? What should I do with my poor heroine, QAQ!?

Third floor: Calm, sister, I said it had no impact, and the little one on the last page was too cute!

4th floor: +1 upstairs

Fifth floor: Upstairs +10086, the author won my heart, and finally there is a comic I can recommend to my sisters!

Sixth floor: (Sweating), don't talk nonsense about the ladies above, this is obviously a serious detective story!

Seventh floor: The sixth floor has insufficient IQ, detective stories have always been dull and gloomy, and the atmosphere is tense, do you feel this way when you watch "Detective Conan"? It's clearly a love comic dressed in detective skin, and my eyes are full of love......

Eighth floor: Laugh, the IQ upstairs is so high, I absolutely believe that this is a detective comic, although there is only one sentence, but the case in it is very detailed, and the reasoning process of the male protagonist is also excellent.

Ninth Floor: I deeply sympathize, this is a detective comic full of youthful atmosphere, and it is estimated that it will be popular! And the last page of the most beautiful is quite good, I want to buy it and cut it out for collection......

10th floor: Thanks for the recommendation, is the author really a young genius?

Eleventh floor: Juvenile is a middle term, and both Shota and Lori are possible.

Twelfth floor: Maybe it's Uncle Picking, puff puff......

Thirteenth Floor: It must be a foot-picking uncle or a grocery shopping aunt, anyway, I don't believe that young people can draw this kind of content, and the last one is really good, I guess it's a professional cartoonist's vest.

Fourteenth Floor: You must not have read the last issue of the weekly boy, looking at the outline of the dark shadow should be a teenager......

After a few casual glances, He Qian was surprised by the reader's comments. There are a lot of people's sticky notes in the back, and no matter what they say, so many people have commented on it to prove that the manga is quite good.

Just one word to get a topic of conversation?

"Phoenix has launched an amazing cartoonist this time."

A voice suddenly sounded, He Qian was startled, she found an old man standing beside her at some point.

"Store, manager, I'm sorry, I'll go to work right away!" He Qian's face turned pale, didn't the store manager go to buy the goods? How could he come back so quickly, it would be bad if he thought he was lazy.

The old man smiled: "It doesn't matter, I can understand your curiosity. ”

He didn't get angry at all, touched his beard and looked at the comments on the sticker wall, and continued: "Last week, when I watched the weekly magazine, I wondered how they used black shadows to promote the new serial, and today I figured it out, they are pretending to be suspenseful to package the newcomer!" ”

"Huh?"

He Qian was a little embarrassed, she felt that she should go to work, but she felt as if the store manager was talking to her, and whether leaving would make him unhappy.

"It's normal that you can't see it when you're young." The old man glanced at He Qian and said with a smile: "I read today's comic, the drawing skills and content are excellent, and the last picture shows the author's amazing talent." Perhaps last week's "Weekly Boys" used dark shadows as a testament to that talent, and as more and more people pay attention to it, the author's identity will be noticeable. ”

"When everyone is speculating about who the author is, the media hypes it, and the comic book author and Phoenix can complete the promotion without spending money...... What a powerful means! ”

Of course, that's what to say, but as long as the comics aren't popular, Phoenix will be in vain.

He Qian became more and more curious about the comic author: "I heard that this author is a teenager, do you believe the store manager?"

The old man laughed.

"If the weekly teenager doesn't write this, I definitely won't believe it." He smiled and shook his head: "But they clearly wrote that no one can never show up, that author will be exposed sooner or later, and lying is tantamount to self-destruction of credibility...... Will they be that stupid? ”

He Qian opened her mouth wide: "Is that really a young man?" ”

'Juvenile' in Huaxia refers to children between the ages of twelve and seventeen or eighteen, and although it is not clear how much money a cartoonist can make, He Qian knows that she will not earn the other party's manuscript fee for a week in a month.

"Why do you want to use He Xi as a pen name."

She pouted, the same name and similar age, didn't that guy deliberately hit himself! However, He Qian's mind was completely attracted by that comic, and she wanted to see what kind of detective comic it was to make people praise.

At noon, He Qian took advantage of the break to pick up a copy of "Weekly Boy" and couldn't wait to read it.

The rest of the week was as bland as ever, but when the number of pages was found, a colorful figure appeared.

"Detective Conan", under the big title is a cute little boy wearing a hat and laughing.

"Is he the hero? It's cute! ”

He Qian thought to herself, turned a few pages but suddenly found that something was wrong, the protagonist is obviously a handsome high school detective. This detective is not only handsome, flexible, but also very good at football, and is a prince charming in life. The heroine who appeared later is also very special, she can punch through the wall with one punch, and she is still a karate master!

The setting of this comic is great, and in just a few glances, He Qian fell in love with the hero and heroine, she watched it fascinated, and the scene of the male protagonist solving the case is too classic, even if she has never read detective novels, she can read it in a good manner.

It's just that the development after solving the case seems to be a little strange, He Qian looked at it with doubts, and soon saw the last page.

"Huh?" Her eyes widened, and on the last page was a picture of a child with the same wide eyes.

"It's beautiful!" He Qian has never seen such a beautiful comic picture, and the boundless aura and charm poured out by the author's pen are simply the same as art paintings.

For a moment, He Qian couldn't help but wonder if it was a traditional painter who was entering the comic industry.

She shook her head, frowned, and flipped through the previous content again.

"How can a child be ......"

He Qian turned it too fast just now, and I don't know how the scene behind the most lull road came out.,After watching it again, I found out that the male protagonist was poured with a mysterious potion and became smaller.。 What exactly is that medicine? Who the hell are those two men in black?

And the male protagonist's body has become a child.,How can he be with the female protagonist!

"It's gone at a critical time." He Qian gritted her teeth, which guy wrote such a provocative plot, and made the reader's mind so thoroughly in just one sentence, it was simply a demon.

After working in the comic area, He Qian has not seen such excellent comics for a long time.

"Ahhh

The same situation began to be sold in bookstores around the world with the release of "Weekly Shonen".
