Chapter 241: The Story of the Pirates

Within a few days, new posters appeared all over Ninghai.

Stations, subways, squares, and streets can be seen everywhere, and this kind of large-scale publicity campaign has not been seen for a long time, and people are amused by these posters while lamenting that Phoenix is willing to spend money.

"Poof...... What is it. ”

In the morning, several young girls standing at the entrance of the subway burst into laughter, and in front of them, there was a very large poster with a skeleton with a straw hat.

――The boy made a promise to the sea: "I am the man who wants to become the king of the pirates!" "Phoenix's new magazine "Pity", leading "One Piece", will be sold next week-

"Skeleton, why is the skeleton so cute, and wearing a straw hat!"

"This poster is so interesting, why don't you regret that the teacher's new work is cute?"

The girls laughed and talked, and in other places in Ninghai, there were also many strange-shaped posters that caused onlookers to burst into laughter.

There is a poster that is posted on the wall in the form of a wanted poster, and many passers-by will be startled when they pass by, thinking that the government is offering a reward for criminals, but as long as you look closely, you will see that the poster shows a manga character wearing a straw hat, and there is a brief introduction to "One Piece" and "Pity" manga below.

The unique and alternative poster promotion quickly let Ninghai's readers know about the new magazine, and He's new work has also become the focus of discussion among many young people.

"The ...... of the voyage in pursuit of wealth and dreams" and "The great dream creates the strongest juvenile hot-blooded comics!" "A pirate story you've never seen before!" "Encounters, friendships, dreams, passions – it's all in One Piece."

The content on the promotional poster tells the characteristics of One Piece, but these characteristics are very puzzling. On the forum of He Xi's House, many readers directly expressed their doubts.

"Is this a story about pirates? It turned out to be a pirate. Why do you still have friendships and dreams, why don't you regret the teacher, where are your three views? ”

"Is the person in the straw hat the main character? He doesn't look handsome at all! ”

"I haven't seen other comic introductions, is there only one "One Piece" manga in "Pity"?"

Meng Shu saw these doubts, but he ignored them, the publicity effect of "One Piece", as long as everyone knew about it. If you want to explain this comic with propaganda. That's simply not possible.

However, the new magazine "Pity" does have only one "One Piece" on it.

After the magazine was approved by the government department, Meng had a heated debate with Phoenix, and Phoenix's top management wanted to serialize more cartoons in the magazine, but Meng was certainly unwilling.

He thinks that no other manga can be put in the same magazine as "One Piece", and if "Pity" adds other manga, it will definitely not sell as well as the pure "One Piece".

Everyone knows that. However, Phoenix's view is equally clear, that only one comic is not a magazine at all. Several high-level executives think that Meng Huo is doing superfluous things, and if he simply launches "One Piece", it is better to launch it directly in a single book.

"I need a new magazine."

Meng Shu replied to them that his cartoons were getting more and more, and it was no longer suitable for them to be launched in "Weekly Boys". That comic weekly has several of his serials, and if it continues to increase, other cartoonists will run out of food.

A magazine was serialized in limited quantities, and Meng was a member of the Phoenix Company, and he wanted to leave more of Weekly Shonen to other cartoonists. So he's going to rebrand a new magazine and launch more comics in the future.

On the surface. The serialization of "Pity" is only "One Piece", which is somewhat nondescript.

However, this situation did no harm except for a few words of ridicule from the media. Even if "One Piece" is popular, the brand of "Pity" will also be launched, and when Meng Shu hands over "One Piece" to his assistant in the future, the value of "Pity" will be reflected.

At that time, Meng Huo launched a new work, and he could directly launch it in "Pity", reducing publicity and promotion costs, and as soon as it came out, there would be a huge readership. Just like the launch of a new serialization of "Weekly Shonen", it can be read by many readers who buy magazines without publicity.

The preservation of "Regret" will give Meng a lot of freedom, and he can put out some short serials on it, which Meng feels is important for the future.

Without the shell of "Pity", "One Piece" is sold in a single book, and the sales volume is not very different from that of "Pity", and if Meng Shu can't continue to encroach on the vacancy of "Weekly Boy", he will only be able to sell a single book in the future.

Not only is it a loss, but each book has to be saved in more than a dozen words...... and the content of "Pity" was only "One Piece" at first, but after the launch of new manga in the future, it can slowly become a multi-page magazine.

Overall, Meng needed a magazine to wield his influence and appease the heart that wanted to draw more comics. Under his strong request, Phoenix Company can only compromise, maybe there is no way to compromise, who makes Meng Shu the boss.

Of course, Meng Shu also made concessions, he increased the five-word plot of "One Piece" to eleven words, and in an instant, all the doubts and complaints in the Phoenix Company disappeared, who would have trouble with money.

The plot of these eleven words, it is not difficult for Meng Shu to come up with it, he prepared a few words during his trip to the extreme eastern region, and now the eleven words have been completed. The reason why I didn't bring it up is because there are too many sales this time, and the pressure in the next issue will be great.

He didn't save the manuscript, and he can only release five episodes of "One Piece" next month, I don't know if it will make readers dissatisfied.

"We'll see when the time comes......"

With this in mind, Meng Huo began to participate in the publicity activities.

He drew some interesting posters, and Phoenix and Huamei were jointly responsible for promoting them in various regions, and the effect was quite good, and readers knew about this new work.

However, the huge propaganda is very ridiculous in the eyes of some.

"With only one comic magazine, what can you do with no matter how big the publicity is?"

Zhongxia Company, Yang Liang is the happiest person, he has been worried for a long time, and he is completely relieved when he sees the advertisement of Phoenix Company, why can't he win Li Xin.

"One Piece" - it can't be funny anymore!

"The story of the pirates, robbery, murder and treasure? Who would read this kind of ungrounded and evil comics. As he spoke, he looked up at the other side: "Wang Zhe, are you right?" ”

"Yes, the minister ......" Wang Zhe smiled: "In my memory, there is no literary work that describes pirates, this kind of subject matter is too difficult to tell a story, and it is a negative character, which is definitely more unpopular than detective novels." ”

When it comes to pirates and the ocean, anyone's mind will go from the real pirates to a narrow misunderstanding, thinking that there is not much to dig into.

They wouldn't have imagined that One Piece is an alternate world......
