Chapter 49: Attraction
At noon, He Qian, who was wearing a staff uniform, observed the sticker wall outside the store.
"It's a pity that the new work "Inuyasha" is good, but I didn't expect it to be a time-traveling work."
"This comic is really handsome, the characters are beautiful, and the environment is incredibly beautiful, but the era is the Warring States? Why did the shrine maiden wear a white costume, wasn't that determined by the Han Dynasty? ”
"The Han Dynasty just set the standard, and no one said that the previous witches couldn't wear white clothes, right?"
"Upstairs +1, but I'm surprised that the male protagonist looks like a bad guy this time?"
The sticker wall was lively about He Xi's new comics, He Qian understood the meaning of Meng Shu's words ten days ago, it turned out that he wanted to draw a cartoon with a witch, and this opportunity was brought to him by her.
"Inuyasha" is difficult to see if the situation is not popular, and now those who are shouting 'Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted' are speechless!
He Qian was relieved that "Shojo Manga" also launched a new series today, but its sales were far less than that of "Weekly Girl", and she even suspected that the magazine could no longer maintain its original lead.
"He Qian, are you looking at the sticker wall again?"
The manager of the manga section walked out and said with a smile, "Are you so interested in that cartoonist of the same name?" ”
Turned into a regular employee, and after getting along for a few months, He Qian is no longer afraid of this old store manager, let alone it is still a break time, she turned around and smiled: "Store manager, has the sales of "Weekly Girl" come out?" ”
"Not yet, depending on the situation, it may be out of stock." The store manager walked up to her and looked up at the sticker wall: "I seem to have spoken to you here before, do you think I guessed right?" That cartoonist is now a big thing. ”
The store manager nodded and sighed: "But I really didn't expect him to become famous so fiercely and quickly." ”
In his half-century career, he has not found any star and figure who can achieve such a pity. It only took him two months to go from being unnoticed to being in the limelight, and he shocked the world, and genius is a terrible thing.
"He Qian, what do you think of the Inuyasha manga?" The store manager turned his head and asked, He Qian thought for a while: "The content is a bit small, the plot has not yet unfolded, I can't understand what story to tell in the future, and the progress is too slow compared to "Detective Conan". ”
She is a fan of Ho Xi, but her evaluation is very objective.
The store manager laughed: "But according to what you say, how do you explain the sales scene of this comic?" ”
The store was crowded with excited female readers, and screams could be heard from time to time.
"It's simple."
He Qian raised her eyebrows and replied confidently: "The picture is very beautiful, although it is not very stunning, but the overall effect is excellent." He regretted that the teacher painted the scenery of the mountains and forests fascinatingly, and his paintings were better than two months ago. ”
"Indeed."
The store manager nodded: "The picture of the new work is better than "Detective Conan", and the recent promotional content of Longteng Company is king, but what a pity to use painting to tell the truth - comics are paintings after all, and the quality of the picture determines many things. ”
He sighed softly, in his eyes, he regretted that he had already waved the painting to a very high level, which made the storytelling of "Inuyasha" no longer so urgent, it should not be said that the excellent painting gave He Xi enough time to tell the story, and did not have to complete the explanation in the first sentence.
The young author has gone higher and higher in the field of comics, as if he was strolling in a leisurely garden, with a flick of his fingers, the beauty of elegant ink painting poured out. The opening scene of "Inuyasha" is wonderful, it is no longer a story, but a mysterious, mythical ancient world.
"Young people are always ambitious......"
The store manager shook his head, this new book made him see what a pity's ambition, that teenager definitely didn't want to be limited to the existing manga mode. From the beginning, it is not difficult to see that the main theme of Inuyasha in the future is combat, and that is definitely not what shoujo manga should focus on.
"Detective Conan" has a lot of female fans, and maybe "Inuyasha" will also have a lot of male fans. He unfortunately obviously doesn't want to be tied to either side of the gender, and the reason why it is not serialized in "Weekly Shonen" is that the store manager suspects that this is a countermeasure by Phoenix Corporation to balance the sales of the two manga magazines.
Smart people can see through this, but it also means that there is no need to take risks. Inuyasha is his adventure, not only because he has to get female readers to accept combat, but also because he has to construct a vast worldview in the manga, which is much more difficult than telling a story.
Meng Huo was indeed taking a risk.
At night, he sat on a bench on campus, leaning on the bright street lamp and reading "Weekly Girl".
The original manga of "Inuyasha" was not good at the beginning, and the painting style was relatively poor, and it only became beautiful in the later stage. However, Meng Huo's Inuyasha is perfect, he reinvents the worldview, and injects aura into the manga with a mountain and forest scenery similar to the depiction of Xianxia, which is an ethereal and far-reaching aura, which also adds a sense of mystery to the story itself.
However, it would be a big mistake to say that the picture is the reason for its popularity.
The fairy witch, the war-torn antiquity, the beautiful scenery, and the handsome monster male protagonist, in fact, this qiē is something that the existing comics lack, and it is a new and mysterious sense that makes people shine.
Novelty and mystery are Meng Huo's greatest reliance, these two things are the fundamental elements of the story to attract readers, and the picture is only a prop to achieve, and it is also easy to mislead.
"How many people can see through it?"
Meng Shu thought to himself, he closed the magazine and turned his head to look at the side: "Why don't you say anything when you come?" ”
I don't know when, Shen Jie stood under the street lamp, she was carrying a lot of gifts in her hand, and there were traces of cream on her collar, she had already spent her birthday in the class just now.
"I saw that you were paying attention, so I didn't bother." Shen Jie smiled slightly, the scene of Meng Shu reading a book just now flashed in her mind, this was the first time she had seen Meng Shu so quiet.
"If only he could be so quiet all the time......"
Shen Jie couldn't help but think that she felt that quiet boys were particularly temperamental.
However, the next moment, Meng Shu stood up, he put the magazine in a bag, and then handed the bag to Shen Jie: "Here, birthday present." ”
"Didn't I say no?"
Shen Jie frowned slightly, she didn't want to use the money earned by Meng Shu's part-time job.
"It's not a big deal, some drinks, and "Weekly Girl", there are not 1oo dollars in total." Meng Shu put the bag in Shen Jie's hand and said goodbye with a smile: "I'm going back, goodbye." ”
"Wait, how are your midterms?"
Shen Jie looked at his distant back, and couldn't help shouting, "Do you want me to help you with tutoring?" ”
These two days were midterm exams, and Shen Jie was very worried that Meng Huo would not do well in the exam and would be expelled, but Meng Huo waved his hand without looking back.
"Thanks, no need."
