Chapter 21: New Characters

"How about online serialization?"

Meng Huo and Alice discussed countermeasures and came up with an idea: "Isn't it conducive to promotion to put "Detective Conan" on the Internet and let readers see it without buying magazines? ”

Magazines are limited to readers, and the Internet does not have this problem.

Meng Huo thought it was a good idea, but was unceremoniously rejected by Ellie.

"It's impossible, online serialization does more harm than good, and best-selling comics don't allow online serialization."

She explained to Meng that none of the Chinese publishing companies would put their work online to undermine its value. Online serialization requires reader stickiness, and it is difficult to gather stickiness for comics that are updated every week.

In this world, copyright protection is serious, people's culture and entertainment are enriched, and offline books are the most popular.

Meng Huo thought about one thing wrong, the popularity of the Internet in his previous life made him take it for granted, but that was the deformed market. Restrictions on life and entertainment, poor publication and distribution of novels, and different consumption concepts have led to the popularity of online serialization, creating a false sense of prosperity.

But that prosperity has never appeared in other developed countries in the same world, so what will happen in this world?

With so many bookstores, a wide variety of comics and novels, and people can buy their favorite books at any time, why are they so popular with online novels? According to Alice's words - "What is the value of such a thing when you spend money and can't hold it in your hand, you can only look at the screen?" ”

This idea represents the vast majority of people, especially books like comics that can be collected.

Of course, there are also online serials, and its development history is longer than the previous life, and the quality is higher, but it will not be too prosperous. Many new novelists started with online serialization, became famous and were discovered by publishing companies, and then embarked on the road of professional novelists.

Meng was chosen in the right direction, and if he debuted from the novel, he might still be fluttering now. And Ye Xiong also denied the idea of online serialization on the phone, which will not affect the sales of magazines and single books instead of popularity, which will definitely do more harm than good in the long run.

Of course, he also explained that it is not impossible to publish online, and some comics will have a special online version after the end, but that will wait until the offline interests are saturated. Popular comics like Detective Conan are unlikely to be published online as long as the publisher still makes money.

This incident made Meng Shu feel discouraged, so he had to find another way.

On September 2, Ninghai No. 1 Middle School opened.

Summer had just passed, and the scorching heat of the sun had not yet subsided, and the students in blue and white school uniforms listened to the speeches in the square and returned to the school building sweating.

"Smack!"

A hand slapped on Meng Shu's shoulder, he turned his head, and Shen Jie's smiling face bloomed like a flower in the middle of many young faces: "Meng Shu, I finally found you!" ”

"Long time no see."

Meng Shu smiled slightly, he found that Shen Jie was followed by two girls, and said in surprise: "It's you, you made friends so quickly?" ”

"They are my roommates, this is Han Xuan, and she is Li Yu!" Shen Jie introduced the two girls around Meng Huo, and Meng Huo greeted them, but he didn't care much in his heart.

He was ready to leave after taking the book, and he couldn't see his classmates a few times a year, so he didn't have to remember it at all.

"What about you, why don't you see your roommate?" Shen Jie looked at Meng Shu's side: "You are too lonely!" ”

"I don't live in a dormitory, there's a rental here." Meng Shu said with a smile, and then he asked, "I'm in class ten, you seem to be different from me?" ”

"Yes."

Shen Jie was surprised that Meng Shu didn't have accommodation, but still replied: "I'm in the first class, I don't know what school wants to separate us." ”

Class 1 is a key class, and Class 10 is an ordinary class. According to common sense, they all have good grades and come from the same place, so Meng Huo should be able to be assigned to the same class. But don't forget that he is a special student who is not allowed to come to school, and being placed in a key class is likely to cause controversy.

Meng Huo understood this, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He was very happy to see that Shen Jie had found a friend so quickly, and judging from her position and demeanor, she was still the center point of the three, and the other two girls were more shy.

Meng Shu is no longer worried about the situation of this fellow villager.

He chatted with Shen Jie for a few words, then got the textbook in the classroom and went home.

He bought a translated version of the novel of "Sherlock" on the road, knowing that he was invincible, Meng Shu wanted to see how good the novel was.

The whole afternoon was spent reading the novel, the plot of "Sherlock" made Meng Shu breathtaking, the story tells the story of a young detective to solve the case, a series of cases are full of suspense, the protagonist is perfect, literature, philosophy, medicine, music, swordsmanship...... Be proficient in everything!

Again and again, he solves impossible puzzles, and the wisdom he reveals is astounding.

After reading this novel, even Meng Shu had an urge to collect it, if you look at the criminal methods and reasoning process, "Sherlock" has been invincible.

However, it also has drawbacks.

One is the Western background, and it is very old, so young people may not like it. The second is that the protagonist is too perfect, he is like a robot, a computer, and he doesn't like any woman, which is just the opposite of "Detective Conan".

"Sherlock" takes the deducing mystery as the first element, and there is basically no description of life and emotions, which is where "Detective Conan" excels in it.

However, the gap between the two is still very large, how can this gap be narrowed?

The method of online serialization has been blocked, corporate publicity and operation cannot be intervened, Meng Shu can only start from the content of "Detective Conan", and his first thought is to add an interesting new case to the single book.

But even if the case is interesting, he is not sure that he will win "Sherlock", maybe he should start from other aspects, such as relying on the air mass in his head?

Meng Shu didn't pay attention to it for a while, he focused on it again, and suddenly found that the amount of air mass had increased a lot.

It's really recovering, and now it's barely enough to use a picture, but what can a picture do?

Meng Huo thought of a way, he wasn't sure that this method could make the single book of "Detective Conan" surpass "Sherlock", but it would definitely increase sales!

He pulls out his phone and calls Alice.

"Did the single book go to the publisher?"

"Not yet, it won't be released until next week!" Alice, sitting in the editorial office reviewing the manuscript, said: "I'm very busy right now, and I'm finalizing the ninth episode, which will have to be sent to the publisher in the evening. ”

"Wait, don't send it over." Meng Shu hurriedly stopped: "I'm going to redraw the ninth chapter, please ask Editor-in-Chief Ye to see if he can delay the release of "Weekly Youth". ”

"I want to add a new character!"
