Chapter 55: Unequal Competition
After a quick and smooth note, Meng Shu withdrew his hands from the piano.
He looked up at the calendar, and before he knew it, he had entered November, today was Friday, and yesterday Qin Ya launched a new serialization in "Girl Comics", and now the preliminary statistics of magazine sales should have been completed.
How strong the strength of that romance princess is, as long as Alice and Teacher Hua Meng arrive, it will be clear.
With a "click", Li Qin, who went out to buy vegetables, opened the door and walked in.
"Xiao Yu, are you hungry? I bought you radish dumplings. ”
Li Qin walked into the house with a basket of vegetables, she handed the breakfast to Meng Shu and then walked into the kitchen to get busy: "There are a lot of dishes today, and there are delicious things at noon." ”
Since Hua Meng and Mr. Tomato came as assistants, Meng Shu's house has been a lot more lively, Li Qin has to buy vegetables every day, she is obsessed with tinkering with all kinds of dishes, in order to buy enough fresh dishes, every time she goes out early in the morning.
"Mom, you don't have to be so troublesome."
Meng Shu ate the dumplings, poured a glass of milk, and said, "Recently, Alice has complained that your cooking is getting better and better, which has made her gain weight. ”
"Wouldn't that be nice?" Li Qin's laughter came from the kitchen: "She is also not young, let her go back to give birth to a son when she is fattened, when I am like her, you will play soy sauce." ”
"That's not going to work." Meng Shu shook his head and said, "She's gone, who will help me." ”
More and more, he felt that Alice was indispensable, and that was simply a full-time nanny. Not to mention, if Alice wasn't there, he would have to take a half-day train to learn the piano.
However, sometimes Meng Shu also felt that Alice was too dedicated, and if she really offered to go home and have a baby, he would not refuse.
After breakfast, Alice and Teacher Hua Meng also arrived, and neither of them had their usual smiles on their faces.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Huo just wanted to ask, but said again: "Okay, you don't need to say it, show me "Girl Comics" first." ”
He knew that they must have known about the sales of "Girl Comics", but Meng Shu felt that he should take a look at it first, otherwise he would not be able to objectively evaluate Qin Ya's comics because of the sales.
Hua Meng handed "Girl Comics" to Meng Shu, and Meng Shu opened it and read it. The name of the girl's comic launched by Qin Ya is "Star", which is a very simple name, and the name of the heroine is also called Star.
Hoshi is a beautiful girl whose parents are divorced, and she has lived with her father since she was a child. Xing also has a twin brother, the younger brother lives with his mother, and he is the lead singer of China's most famous star group 'SKY'.
One day, Star's brother is in a car accident and the entire 'sky' group is about to be disbanded, so Star's mother approaches her and asks her to dress as a man......
This is the end of the first episode of "Star", a typical girl's comic, Meng Shu doesn't look at the back, he knows how this story will develop: Sky is a star group full of handsome guys, how can a girl develop in it? Of course, it's all kinds of love-hate entanglements and polyamorous love......
Meng Huo feels that the theme of "Star" is old-fashioned, but old-fashioned is old-fashioned, stars and handsome guys are elements that are highly sought after by women, they like this set, if this comic is drawn well, it is difficult for it to become popular.
And don't you know, it's really done......
This is the most surprising thing for Meng Huo, the quality of the comics in "Star" is excellent, although it is not as good as Meng Huo, but it is also very similar to the works drawn by professional cartoonists, and Qin Ya's name is also greatly printed on the page.
"This is Qin Ya's own hand-drawing?"
Meng Shu looked up and asked.
"Yes, it's hard to believe, she says she loves to draw. And she has shown her painting skills in public, so she should have drawn correctly. Alice's expression was a little solemn: "Although there are still a few assistants, she is the main painter, I didn't expect her to not only write books, but also have such good comic skills." ”
It's incredible, the genius girl really lives up to her name.
"So, what about sales?"
Meng put down the magazine and asked about the topic.
"Sales ......" Hua Meng glanced at Alice and took the initiative to answer: "What a pity teacher, this week's "Girl Manga" sales are 200,000 less than "Weekly Girl". ”
The difference of 200,000 is the preliminary statistical result, and on the surface it seems that "Weekly Girl" won, but "Girl Manga" did not lose either.
A month ago, "Weekly Girl" sold 200,000 fewer than "Shoujo Manga", and Meng Shu relied on "Inuyasha" to make up and open the gap. Then last week, "Weekly Girl" preliminary statistics showed that there were 500,000 more than "Shojo Manga".
As soon as Qin Ya's new comic was published, the gap narrowed by 300,000, almost destroying the advantage that Meng Shu had established. And this is only the preliminary statistical results, the two magazines will be released in the mainland in the next few days, and the gap will definitely be further reduced.
Meng Huo's fan base is the largest in Ninghai and the surrounding areas, and further outside, he has about the same influence as those second-rate authors, after all, other places do not have a publicity advantage like Ninghai.
Qingya's main battlefield in Meng Huo has raised the sales of "Girl Comics" to the current point, what about her in the mainland? Her popularity in the mainland is not much higher than that of Meng Huo.
"Weekly Girl" is in danger.
"Meng Shu, don't be discouraged, it's not your problem." Alice saw that Meng Shu was thinking, thinking that he was sad, and hurriedly comforted: "The company knows that Qin Ya is very dangerous, and yesterday conducted a spot check, and the results showed that "Inuyasha" is more likable than "Star", you didn't lose." ”
In terms of storyline and painting style alone, "Inuyasha" has achieved a very high level, although Qin Ya is a genius, she can't surpass Meng Huo.
The reason for this is simple.
"You and Qin Ya's influence is not equal, she has two years of accumulation, and she has too many fans." Alice said: "You are still young, and you will definitely be more prosperous than her in two years." ”
It is undeniable that Meng Huo became famous very quickly, but his foundation is weak, his fame is limited to the comic industry, and Qin Ya has long been famous throughout the country through novels and TV series.
This competition is an unequal competition, the people who know Qin Ya are several times more than Meng Shu, Meng Shu's chances of winning are only expected from the beginning that Qin Ya's painting is not good, as long as her painting can be generally accepted by fans, Meng Huo has no chance of winning.
This is a huge gap between fame and influence, it is difficult to make up for it, no matter how good Meng Shu's comics are, he does not have a readership comparable to Qin Ya.
"What else can be done......
Meng Shu groaned, "Girl Comics" has not surpassed "Weekly Girl" now, of course he is not willing to sit still. But to defeat Qin Ya, he only had one way to go.
It is to use the shortest time to let the most people know about him or the manga "Inuyasha".
However, this is too difficult, even if Phoenix Company fully promotes, the effect will not be shown so quickly, and other methods will be even slower.
"I have a way to give it a try."
Alice hesitated slightly, her eyes flickered a little, and she said: "If Meng Shu is willing to stand up and tell others what it is like for you, then I think all the media will focus on you." ”
A young genius who debuted at the age of fifteen and has just turned sixteen will definitely be more eye-catching than Qin Ya!
