Chapter 431: Shoujo Manga
The news of the launch of the new work was first leaked from the He Xi Home forum, and immediately after the news was leaked, it aroused strong attention from the members of the forum, but the reporters were skeptical.
"Am I dazzled...... What a pity that the teacher has a new work? β
"Madoka Magical Girl" and "Flame Boy" are in full swing, so why don't you have time to launch a new work!"
At the beginning, almost every reporter didn't believe that he would launch a new work at such a critical time, Phoenix Company and Zhongxia Company had just entered the peak period of competition, how could it be possible and how could there be time to launch a new work?
However, this idea was quickly broken, and on the night of the news leak, Phoenix officially published the news on its official website, saying that it would be a pity to launch a new work, but did not say whether this new work was an animation, a comic or a game.
But whatever it was, journalists everywhere were boiling.
"Why is it a pity that the teacher is really going to come up with a new work? He's a monster! launched a new work at such a critical time, and I didn't take "Flame Boy" in my eyes at all! β
"The tragedy of Zhongxia Company, they worked hard to launch "Flame Boy" to grab the eyeballs, but what a pity that the teacher attacked on both fronts! A new work is out...... Where did Zhongxia Company get the resources to confront the teacher in the two works? I think Zhongxia Company will still have to be pressed and beaten by Phoenix Company in the second half of the year! β
Zhongxia Company was also very nervous, and Ding Yanghua never dreamed that he would suddenly come to this hand.
"How could he have launched two works! How could it be! β
He is full of anxiety, why is it that the second work brings him a greater sense of threat than "Madoka Magica".
In order to fight against "Madoka Magical Girl", the Midsummer Company has come out of the elite, and no one of them can stop the storm brought by the second work. If the second work is a game. And again, it's a popular game like Pokemon. The Zhongxia company has no hope of turning over this year.
"What a pity. You've got a lot of tricks! β
Ding Yanghua scratched his head, he felt that this was a premeditated action. Dragging them with one animation first, and then killing another work, the media's attention has now been attracted by the new work, and Zhongxia Company has done everything possible to prevent the development of Phoenix Company, but this premeditated plan is about to face the risk of bankruptcy.
If there is no way to stop this new work from becoming popular, this year will form the perfect 'Year of the Phoenix', and even if "Flame Boy" wins, it will not be able to suppress their limelight.
Angels against what a pity is not equal in the first place. If it is a two-front battle, then even if he loses an animation, Zhongxia Company has no face to say that they can defeat him. The media won't say that.,You can't be laughed at when you say it.,It's okay if you're ten against one.,After all, it's all an animation.,But if the other party doesn't do his best to compare with you.,There's other work in your hand.,So how can you say why you fail?
The popularity of "Madoka Magical Girl" is on the rise, if the new work is also popular. In the second half of the year, the focus of the media will be on He Xi again, and Zhongxia Company has really lost its efforts!
"God forbid. Don't be a game, don't be a game! Ding Yanghua prayed in his heart, this new work must not be a game, if it is animation and comics, Zhongxia Company will still have a chance to add a little chaos to him, but if it is a game business that Zhongxia Company can't interfere with, then they will have no possibility of curbing the limelight at all.
However, in fact, the possibility of the game is very small, "Pokemon" was just released a few months ago, and Phoenix should not be able to produce new games so quickly. Animation is even more impossible, the three animation departments of Phoenix Company, which are producing "Pokemon", "Detective Conan" and "Madoka Magical Girl", the possibility of launching a new animation is close to zero.
So soon some people said that He Xi's new work would be a comic, and comics were his home base, and Phoenix Company also added two comic magazines this year. But it's a pity that this year is very conservative in the comics, and at the beginning of the year, "Burning Eyes Xana" was released, and it was announced that it would be suspended after two volumes, and his readers found it unpleasant.
"Is it Shana the Burning Eye? β¦β¦ The new volume is coming out.,I'd love to know the follow-up plot! β
Many readers were excited, and in the special section of the house, fans started talking about it very lively.
The press and reporters also felt that "Shana with Burning Eyes" was the most likely, and that each volume of the manga would be sold as a separate story, and that "Shana with Burning Eyes" had been suspended for several months, so it was very likely that it would have been drawn and only now shown to everyone - which would also explain the reason why he could produce "Madoka Magi" and launch a new work at the same time.
But in fact...... The new work is not "The Burning Eye of Xana", and the opportunity for Meng to launch a new work is because of Qin Ya.
One day, Qin Ya suddenly complained about her dissatisfaction with "Madoka Magical Girl" while drawing animation.
"I was deceived, and I thought it was a shoujo anime! But no matter how I look at this plot, boys like it! Qin Ya is very dissatisfied with the CP of the animation, there is no love element in "Madoka Magical Girl", the main characters are all girls, and the relationship between girls will make people feel too close.
This animation has a bit of lace edge, which can please male audiences, but it is a big cancer for Qin Ya.
She felt uncomfortable: "Why don't you pity the teacher, are you biased towards boys?" β
"Most of your previous works are from the standpoint of boys, and the quality of Phoenix's shoujo comics is obviously much lower than that of shonen comics." Qin Ya said to Meng Shu: "Your loyal fans are mainly girls, and your biased behavior is too disappointing for everyone!" β
What she said was a bit extreme, and Meng Shu didn't listen to it all. Qin Ya's fans are mainly boys, but she is different and does not draw juvenile comics.
However, Qin Ya is right about one thing, the development speed of Phoenix's girl's comics and shonen manga is different, and now among the four magazines, the number of submissions to the two manga magazines for men is five times more than that for women, but the number of serialization slots for the two is about the same, and the gap between submissions is very large.
Not only that, but the sales of the magazine were also very uneven, with Phoenix selling 10 million more copies of the shonen manga than the shoujo manga. Meng Shu has always been troubled by this matter, the shoujo manga he has seen is really limited, and it is difficult to mass-produce it like shonen manga, and then develop shoujo manga.
Qin Ya's arrival gave him a hope, and after hearing Qin Ya's complaints, he immediately said that he wanted Qin Ya to be the pillar of Phoenix Company's girl comics, and with her comic strength, it was not difficult to do this.
But Qin Ya put forward a condition.
"It's not impossible for me to draw shoujo manga at Phoenix Company." She stopped the pen she was painting with and pointed at Meng Shu: "But I want you to paint with me, the two of us will launch a serialization at the same time, if you draw a story better than mine, I will paint here in the future." β
Qin Ya still remembers the failure of the year, she has always wanted to compete with Meng Yu again in the girl's comics, although she has changed jobs, her fighting spirit has not changed.
The conditions are not simple, but it is an irresistible temptation for Meng Huo.
"Okay."
He agreed, and although he didn't have the background of a few shoujo manga, he still had works that he could replace.
"Then without further ado, let's prepare early!" Qin Ya looked very excited: "In two weeks, how about the comic content that each has decided to launch?" β
"Two weeks?"
Meng Shu was surprised by Qin Ya's speed, but the cooperation between the two of them on "Madoka Magical Girl" has already entered a good situation, and it is not difficult to open a comic again.
"No problem."
Meng Shu also agreed to this, he was a little happy, he was actually very surprised.
Qin Ya brought him a new kind of fun, in the same company, drawing animation together during the day, going back to think about new comics at night, and then having the two comics fightβthis kind of experience, Meng Shu had never had.
"I didn't expect to have opponents in the same company." On the evening when Alice and Shen Jie were invited to the apartment for dinner that day, Meng Xu said to them with a smile: "Qin Ya's new comic will be launched in "Weekly Girl", and my comic will be launched in the magazine of Gemini's women, and I really don't know if I can beat her." β
"Weekly Girl" sold more than the Twins, and the manga magazine for the two was arranged by someone from the editorial department of the girl. The people in the editorial department thought that Meng Huo's advantage was too great, so they gave Qin Ya preferential treatment, and Qin Ya and Meng Huo both said they had no opinion.
"Have you decided on your new comic?" Alice was a little concerned: "When will the news be announced?" β
"Well, I've got it figured...... The new manga is a love story suitable for both men and women, and the heroine is a little tsundere......"
"I will leak the news of the new work in advance to attract the eyes of reporters first...... As for the timing of the official announcement. Meng Shu glanced at Shen Jie and said with a smile: "Isn't this just right?" The news of Qin Ya's jumping over has not yet spread, and this time I will announce the content of the new comic with her--it is on Shen Jie's stage. β
Two days ago, Shen Jie's debut stage was finally found after twists and turns, which was an open-air stage in Suhua City. This stage was chosen by Shen Jie herself, and she didn't want Alice and Meng Shu to continue to worry about it-"That's enough, as long as I am given the opportunity, I will definitely be able to hold it in the palm of my hand." β
At that time, Shen Jie said this to Alice and Meng Shu, she seemed very open-minded, but Meng Shu cared very much.
He felt that Shen Jie was a member of the 'Gundam Singer', and her strength was outstanding, so she couldn't be too shabby when she debuted!
This time, the news that he and Qin Ya are going to publish a new comic just happens to be an opportunity to help Shen Jie - 'What a pity' and 'Romance Princess' both have strong influence and appeal, these two people who stand at the apex of teenager and girl comics have never stood on the same stage, this time they appear at the same time will definitely cause a sensation, no matter how small the stage is, it can't stop the madness of fans.
