Zhongxia Company's launch of "Detective's Son" was also known to other people in Phoenix Company.

On April 26, the day after the release of "Weekly Boutique", that is, on Sunday, Alice came to Meng Huo's house to discuss countermeasures.

"When are you going to launch your new comic?"

She asked.

"Let's publish a teaser next week in Weekly Boy and Weekly Boutique." Meng Shu thought about it and replied, this new comic can't be abrupt, and it must be publicized in advance.

"It's going to start serializing next week, right?"

Alice nodded, and she was satisfied that it was released only a week later than "Detective's Son".

"Then I won't leave today, you can show me that comic first." Alice said: "I want to be prophetic so that after I go to work tomorrow, the company can develop a publicity strategy, right...... That's a monthly magazine, right? ”

She took out a pen and paper and began to memorize.

"That's right, Monthly, it's called "Monthly Boys." Meng Shu smiled and nodded.

Alice was beaten, and she didn't like the name: "Monthly Boys"? If it's only your comics, why not use your pen name? This is more effective, and the reader's motivation is easy to catch. ”

He is already a golden sign in the hearts of most comic book readers, and if a magazine is named after him, Alice is absolutely sure that it will get twice the result with half the effort.

"My pen name?"

Meng Shu lowered his head and thought, this is also a way.

"Then let's talk about it."

This Sunday, Alice and Meng Yu had a rare day to prepare for a day to discuss the plot, and Shen Jie also participated. She didn't know anything about comics. But he was very keen on naming new magazines.

However, at noon. Alice took a phone call, and the situation changed a little more.

"What's wrong?"

At that time, a few people happened to have lunch, and Alice left in order to answer the phone, and her face looked very gloomy when she came back, and Meng Shu had a bad premonition in her heart.

"We are too underestimated in the summer!" Alice sat down and said coldly, "A former friend called me just now and told me something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The serialization of "Detective's Son" this time is not as simple as it seems, CCTV has purchased the animation copyright of "Detective Sherlock". Alice frowned slightly, and her expression became even colder: "It hasn't been officially announced yet." But tomorrow's news broadcast will definitely broadcast an announcement that the anime of "Sherlock" will be launched simultaneously with the manga "Detective's Son". ”

Meng Shu was shocked, this turn is too fast, the animation is out!

"At the same time, this matter has been prepared very early, and when you go on a trip, Zhongxia will reach an agreement with CCTV and start making animation." Alice glanced at Meng Shu and said coldly: "And the director in charge of this animation is called Su Yuhua, I think you should know it." ”

Meng Yu frowned, Su Yuhua, he does know. This is the woman who came to buy the animation rights of "Detective Conan" in the first place. Because she wanted to buy out the copyright at a low price and did not allow him to interfere with the animation production, Meng did not agree after being the most popular.

At that time, Su Yuhua threatened to find someone else. I didn't expect her to do what she said, and now she is really looking for Zhongxia Comics to cooperate. CCTV plus Zhongxia, a strong combination, a terrible combination.

"Wait, you were talking about the Sherlock animation?" Meng Shu suddenly thought, no: "It's not the sequel to "Detective Sherlock", nor is it "Detective's Son"? ”

"...... right"

Alice nodded as a matter of course.

"Sherlock doesn't have animation, how can the next few works appear, but they have signed a cooperation agreement for two films." "It's a series, and the first episode coincides with the start of the series of 'Detective's Son," she said. ”

This is actually not a surprise, the anime progresses faster than the manga, and it takes a long time to prepare. "Detective's Son" has not yet been released, and if you skip the first and sequel and directly produce the animation of "Detective's Son", it will not be released until a few months later.

Of course, the Mid-Summer Company was reluctant to do this, and when Meng was traveling, they started to animate "Sherlock", which now happened to be released with "Detective's Son".

I have to say that CCTV's efficiency is very high, this is a countermeasure to Ninghai TV's "Pokemon", the ratings of "Pokemon" have reached 45%, although the rate of rise has become slow, but it far exceeds the ratings of "Cat and Mouse Couple", which has caused a lot of public opinion pressure on the CCTV animation team.

CCTV's launch of a new animation is also bad news for Phoenix, although it is not the same work, but the "Sherlock" animation can also increase the popularity and sales of "Detective's Son". Zhongxia and the CCTV animation team complement each other and get a win-win situation, of course, Duke Anthony's remuneration must be very high.

However, this news is not completely bad, it is not an animation of "Son of the Detective" after all, and the impact on the market will not be too exaggerated, and Meng Shu still has confidence in his heart.

A hotel in Ninghai.

"Cheers!" The trio of Zhongxia Company sat down to eat together, Wang Zhe drank all the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, and laughed: "Cool, it's better to have a holiday, the minister should invite guests a few more times." ”

"Think beautifully." Yang Liang snorted coldly, as the time spent together became longer, the editor-in-chief of the comic and he became more and more energetic, and the restrained and cautious appearance at the beginning is basically invisible now.

"You came with it." Yang Liang said unceremoniously, he turned his head to look at Li Xin, and smiled: "I've worked hard for you this time, the end of "Sherlock's Sequel" is wonderful, and I am looking forward to the sales of "Detective's Son" next week." ”

After nearly a month of serialization, Li Xin successfully stabilized his position, and Yang Liang was satisfied with it.

"I'll keep trying, Minister!" Li Xin nodded a little excitedly, although he had experienced setbacks, his road was getting smoother and smoother, and he would be recognized when he walked on the street, which was unimaginable a month ago.

Many celebrities have become his friends, and those stars are also very envious of his speed of fame.

However, after the minister's ......" excitement, Li Xin calmed down, and he asked with some concern: "CCTV has launched animation, but can it make our comic sales increase greatly?" Recently, Ninghai's comic sales have not increased......"

In the first week, the weekly magazine sold more than 1.5 million in Ninghai, and now its sales have hardly changed and cannot exceed 1.6 million.

"There will be an increase, don't take Ning Hai to heart." Wang Zhe smiled for Yang Liang: "This city is different from other places, the market is saturated. ”

Ninghai has always been at the forefront of the comics industry, and Longteng and Phoenix have been rooted in the city for several years and have long carved out a group of readers. Last year, he was born out of nowhere, he brought several changes and struggles to the Ninghai comic industry, and today, the most mature city in the entire Chinese comic market is Ninghai.

The city's comic book readers have reached their limit, there is little room for growth in numbers, and the main battlefield of the Zhongxia Company and the Phoenix Company has shifted to other places, and in those places, the Zhongxia Company has the upper hand.

"Yes, don't worry! "Detective's Son" is in line with the preferences of Chinese people, and with the appeal of "Sherlock", it will be a very blockbuster. Yang Liang followed with a smile: "Animation and comics will be launched next week, the influence of CCTV animation is very good, with the high quality of "Detective's Son", it is not a big problem to increase sales by half compared with now." ”

Increase sales by half, this is the middle sales volume that Zhongxia Company chooses between the best and worst estimates, and evaluates the influence of animation, Li Xin's strength, the quality of "Detective's Son" and the comprehensive quality of "Weekly Boutique", there will not be too much gap.

Now, "Weekly Boutique" has one-third more sales than "Weekly Boy", and after "Detective's Son" came out, it is equivalent to more than twice that of "Weekly Boy".

It's back to the way it was a month ago......

Phoenix can work a miracle once, but this second time is impossible. The third-largest bookstore chain in China has less than one-fifth of Huamei's channels, and it is all in second- and third-tier cities that overlap with Huamei's bookstores.

This means that it is no longer possible for Phoenix to improve its channels by forming an alliance with a certain company.

Yang Liang thought of this, his heart became happy, and he poured a sip of wine fiercely.

"That little fox with a smiling face, he's out of line this time!"

In the past few weeks, Yang Liang still hasn't forgotten what a pity to play, he has never been so calculated by a child, and he still gritted his teeth. (To be continued......)
