Qingyun Book City, as the largest book city in Ninghai, has a lot of reporters who come here today.

These reporters came before dawn, but the scene in front of them was very strange -- early in the morning, some employees of Qingyun Book City set up tables in the square and put comic magazines.

The reporters walked over and saw that all they had put was "Weekly Twin Magazines (Monthly)", and there was not a single "Mid-Summer Journal".

"What's going on? Isn't there supposed to be a promotional product in the square? ”

Many reporters wondered why the book city would put the latter outside, and they couldn't help but wonder if Qingyun Book City and Phoenix Company had cooperated.

There happened to be an old man checking his work in the square, and a reporter recognized this old man as the store manager of the comic section of Qingyun Book City, and he walked over and asked: "Store manager, are you going to do a promotion for "Weekly Twins" today?" ”

The old man glanced back at the reporter, shook his head and replied: "Today's promotion is a work by a rookie novelist, and the promotion starts at eight o'clock in the morning." However, before the event began, I borrowed the booth to sell Weekly Twins. ”

Other reporters slowly gathered.

"Since it's a borrowed booth, why don't you sell the Midsummer Journal?"

A young reporter asked after hearing the old man's words, and the old man was surprised that so many reporters came, but the report did not hurt him.

"The morning 'Weekly Twin Month' will sell much better than the 'Mid-Summer Daily'." The old man smiled: "What a pity that the teacher has launched a new work of girl's comics, there must be many female customers, and there will definitely be a boom in buying later." It is placed in the square for these female guests to buy. ”

His answer surprised the reporters.

"Store manager. May I interpret your words like this? A reporter said: "Do you think "Weekly Gemini (Monthly)" will be better than "Mid-Summer Daily"? ”

"I didn't say that!" The old man glared. He shook his head and said, "How can "Weekly Gemini (Monthly)" surpass "Midsummer Daily", isn't this a fool's errand? ”

He clarified: "I mean, in the morning, "Weekly Twins (Monthly)" was influenced by Mr. Ho's new work, and of course the enthusiasm for buying in the morning will be high. The sales of "Mid-Summer Daily" throughout the day will be better than that of "Weekly Twins", but it will not be as popular as ...... You see......"

The old man stopped suddenly, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of the square, where a bus had just stopped, and the six or seven women who had come off the bus were coming this way.

"It was the first bus on Line 10. These women are here to buy Weekly Twins (Monthly), and then they will take the next car to work...... And it's almost the rush hour for work, and in two hours, "Weekly Twins (Monthly)" will be a big hit! ”

The reporters looked at the women, and these women in formal clothes were walking towards the book city in a hurry, but when they found the magazines placed in the square, they all stopped one by one, showing surprised faces: "Weekly Twins (Monthly) has been put out!" ”

"There's no need to rush...... It is better to have a book city, continuous goods, and the quality of service is better than other book cities! ”

The women walked to the booth with a happy look on their faces, bought the magazine, and then turned around and walked slowly towards the bus stop.

"Look......" the old man touched his beard with relief. "There are more people coming in the back, and we can reduce the time they spend buying magazines by putting them outside," he said. At the same time, it also reduces the burden on our comic shop. ”

Then, over the next 10 minutes, the reporters saw in a clear way the popularity of Weekly Twin Moons among women: women who went to work or school came by bus, got off here to buy magazines, and left on the next bus a few minutes later.

In the chat of these women, the reporters learned that many people went out dozens of minutes in advance, just to be able to buy magazines in time.

The women were pleasantly surprised that they were able to buy the magazines in a few minutes. But that was only the beginning, and when the hours were past 6:40, there was a crowd of people - buses, private cars, and even girls walking by, hundreds of customers moving around the square, and the pace of buying magazines slowed down.

"It's so hilarious!"

Every reporter was dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to do with it now. These women seem to have come here to buy "Weekly Gemini (Month)", and no one in "Midsummer Daily" cares at all.

"What a dragon fight, it's not like ah......"

"The sales of "Weekly Twin Moon" will surpass that of "Midsummer Daily", right?"

The reporters wavered, which was completely different from what they had expected at the beginning, and it could be said to be the opposite of what they had expected.

"No, these people may have bought it so enthusiastically because they saw "Weekly Twin Moon" being put on display, right? If it had been the "Mid-Summer Journal", the result would definitely have been different! A reporter trusted his judgment more, and he asked the old man: "Store manager, why don't you move the "Midsummer Daily" out too?" ”

The old man frowned.

"It doesn't prove anything when it comes out, "Midsummer Daily" is a juvenile comic, it has a huge readership, and today's sales will definitely exceed "Weekly Twins (Month)", you don't have to mind too much about the sales scene of "Weekly Twins (Month)", it will not sell more than "Midsummer Daily".

"Yes...... What we want to know is the comparison between Angel's new manga and Ho Xi's teacher's new manga. ”

A reporter explained that what they wanted to see was not the sales figures, but the comparison of the popularity of the two new comics.

"Contrast? What's the analogy with this? The old man was amused: "You don't really think that the new comic of Angels can compare with He Xi, do you?" ”

"They can't compare! It's better to be like this......" He suddenly thought carefully and said with a smile: "If you can say something good about our bookstore in the newspaper, I will ask people to take out the "Mid-Summer Daily" and make a live comparison for you!" ”

The reporters were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes lit up.

"Okay!"

"Store manager, please let people move out of the "Midsummer Daily"!"

They immediately agreed to the old man's request, and it was not easy to say a few good words about Qingyun Book City, as long as they added two sentences casually when writing the report.

When the old man saw that so many reporters were willing to report, he was also happy, and immediately ordered the clerk to move out the two stacks of "Mid-Summer Daily".

"So little, not enough!"

The reporters found that the total number was less than 100 copies, and they felt that the old man was not sincere.

"Enough, you guys look...... This hundred could have been sold for a long time. ”

The old man was unimpressed, and as he said, in the next ten minutes, "Weekly Twin Moon" sold several hundred copies, while "Midsummer Daily" sold only six copies.

Because the number is so small, the reporters are counting clearly.

"How is this possible!"

"Why are there so few, isn't the "Midsummer Daily" very popular?"

They exclaimed that it was impossible, but the old man was at ease: "I read that among the six books, there are still people who bought them home for their boyfriends or older brothers and younger brothers...... There will not be more than four people who actually buy the Midsummer Daily for the new manga of 'Angel'. ”

A young journalist who didn't believe in evil went to the point of sale and stopped an office worker who had bought Weekly Twin Moon.

"Miss, did you see the Midsummer Daily just now? Did you know that there is a new manga from 'Angel' on it? The young man asked.

The woman looked at him strangely: "You know, what's wrong?" ”

"Know?" The young man almost choked: "Then why don't you buy it?" ”

"Why buy it?" The woman was even more strange, she thought about it, and then suddenly said, "You're a reporter, right?" ”

The young man nodded.

"Then it's no wonder......" The woman smiled: "Angel's "Flame Boy" has been very popular recently, and I have watched it too, but it is an animation, right?" Angels haven't drawn comics, I'm not confident in their new comics, ah...... Sorry, the bus is almost here, I'm going to go first. ”

The woman saw a bus approaching outside the platform, and quickly apologized and ran over there.

The young man looked at her back dumbfounded, not interested in the new manga of the angel, did the other women think so?

"Of course I do." When the young man returned to his place, the old man couldn't help but laugh when he heard what happened to him just now: "Angel has not cultivated loyal fans, and "Flame Boy" is not their original animation, so readers who like to read manga will certainly not be interested in their new manga......"

The current phenomenon shows that angels are just like newcomers in the comic industry, and it is impossible to cause any sensation when they first debut.

"The sales of Midsummer Daily are the same as ever, and they won't change much because of Angel's new manga. We have plenty of magazines, old readers won't be anxious, and new readers are better than nothing, so I didn't move it out today. ”

The old man explained.

This made the reporters completely dumbfounded, and tomorrow's newspaper will not have to write - there is no such situation at all!

They can now see clearly that angels are an empty shell in the comic industry! It's a wasted effort to expect it!

"Store manager, did you watch "Dragon and Tiger"?"

A female reporter quickly changed roles, she lost interest in the "Midsummer Daily", and wanted to know what happened to the new work.

"I've seen it.,I've read both the comics of Angel and He Xi.,But the two new works give me diametrically opposite feelings......"

"Angel's manga has nothing to offer other than graphics!"

The old man smiled, shook his head and said, "But why not pity the teacher's new comics...... Anyway, it's just amazing, and the story is interesting! And it uses a whole new kind of manga technique, which I haven't seen in other comics. ”

"I feel that this new work of the teacher is likely to cause a sensation that I didn't expect!" (To be continued......)
