Chapter 263: Victory and Defeat

Qingyun Book City opened at 7 o'clock in the morning, and in order to sell "Detective's Son" and "Detective Conan", the staff of the book store set up a temporary book sales point in the square outside.

It's a common practice in the book city, and whenever there's a hot piece on sale, they use the plaza to disperse the flow of people buying and hold some fun events.

Today's event is that readers who purchase the two comics, "Detective Conan" and "Sherlock", will be able to win a free raffle for a chance to win a five-day tour of the Sea and Sky Villa.

"This event ...... Ordinary ......"

Lin Qi shook his head, this is not a good activity, because it is too common, and it does not bring people a sense of surprise at all.

"Okay, ready, Lin Qi ......"

The photographer saw that the time was almost up, and said to Lin Qi, the reporter immediately straightened his face, held the microphone and faced the camera, and began to report the situation at the scene after the shooting.

"Good morning, dear audience friends, everyone......"

The beautiful female voice brought a new day, and the staff of the Ninghai TV headquarters and the news department received the image from Qingyun Book City and began to get busy in a hurry.

"Cut it here, the morning news is going to air, just leave the key content behind, not more than three minutes."

"Is the script ready, can you predict the sales of both?"

"Le Tong, help, how do you say this report should be written?"

Guo Letong of the Ninghai animation column group also stood in the Ministry of Information, and his sensitivity to comics and animation was stronger than that of people in the Ministry of Information, so he was invited to be a foreign aid.

"Well...... The number of readers on both sides is about the same. ”

Looking at the images that came back from the scene. Guole Tong frowned slightly, looking from the outside of Qingyun Book City. The sales scenes of "Detective Conan" and "Detective's Son", one left and one right, do not have much difference in the number of readers gathered, making it difficult for him to make a judgment.

"What about other places?"

He turned his head and said, "I want to know the general situation in other places." ”

"I'll ask right away."

The head of the Ministry of Information nodded and left in a hurry, he had to hurry up for time, and the morning news of Ninghai TV was broadcast by the Broadcasting Department. However, the moderators and the news content are hosted by the Department of Public Information, who have to prepare today's transcript in a matter of minutes.

"Letong, it's okay. The rest of the location is lively. Soon, the Minister of Information ran back and said to Guo Letong: "But overall, "Detective Conan" has more readers. ”

"More Detective Conan?"

Guole Tong's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "Then don't think about it, what is your news bias...... Surely yes, this time the single book will sell more "Detective Conan" than "Detective Conan". ”

"What!?"

The Minister of Information was stunned for a moment, and said incredulously: "No." The sales of "Weekly Boutique" are much higher than that of "Weekly Boy", how can "Detective's Son" lose? ”

"You understand one thing first, "Weekly Boutique" is not equal to "Detective's Son", and "Weekly Boy" is not equal to "Detective Conan".

Guo Letong opened his mouth to explain that the sales of "Detective's Son" were due to all the high-quality comics of "Weekly Boutique", while "Detective Conan" would lose before. A large part of the reason is that the overall strength of "Weekly Boys" is not as good as that of "Weekly Boutique".

To neutralize the two, "Detective's Son" may not be stronger than "Detective Conan".

And "Detective's Son" is the first time it has been sold, it has done a lot of publicity in the early stage, and now it should be the most popular, and "Detective Conan" is already the third volume. Readers' motivation won't be so hot. ”

Generally speaking, the day a manga is sold for the first time. Readers will be most motivated and the scene will be the most lively. After two sales, the overall popularity will rise, but the popularity of the first day of sales will decrease.

That is to say, the readers of "Detective Conan" are no longer as crazy as when they first sold it, and many readers are at home or at work, and they will not be so eager to buy.

And "Detective's Son" is the first time to sell, it stands to reason that on the day of sale, especially this morning, its hot Cheng should be "Detective Conan".

It didn't do it, which shows that the overall popularity of Cheng DΓΉ is not as good as that of Detective Conan, and the same is true for sales.

"This ...... Can you be sure? ”

The Minister of Information was a little dry-mouthed, if this matter was true, then the victory or defeat of Zhongxia and He Xi would be self-evident, and the impact of the news would be tantamount to an earth-shattering earthquake.

"That's right......"

Guo Letong nodded, in fact, he is not a professional cartoonist, so he can't be completely sure, but he still feels that his conjecture should be more correct.

"Alright, that's how I'm ready."

The Minister of Information gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

So, on the morning news in Ninghai, the female host added such a sentence at the end while broadcasting the sales scene.

"Detective Conan" sold the third volume, and the sales scene was lively, and it is expected to be sold on the same day as "Detective's Son", these two detective-themed comics will give Chinese mystery lovers ......"

The host said very tactfully, Ninghai TV and Zhongxia and Phoenix Company have business cooperation, and they will not directly say who wins and who loses, but even if it is this kind of euphemism, a discerning person can see the subtext at a glance.

What a pity - victory!

Other media outlets who saw this news were surprised, and some people in the comic industry were also stunned, in fact, before that, people above the eighth floor were optimistic about "Son of the Detective".

Because the magazine where "Detective's Son" is located sells significantly more than "Detective Conan", even if it is distanced by Cheng Biting Jin's "One Piece" that suddenly appeared, people also feel that the sales of the single book will not be lost.

As soon as the news of Ninghai TV came out, many people were blindsided, and even the reporters who were writing about to say that "Son of the Detective" would win were stunned.

"It can't be!"

""Detective's Son" lost to "Detective Conan", doesn't that mean that Li Xin's two comics lost to what's a pity?"

Before the single book, "Pity", this magazine was sold twice. Twice hit the "Weekly Boutique Classic" that week, and the sales volume was more than 24 million copies ahead!

"Pity" is the No. 1 comic magazine in China. No one can deny this, and despite the media condemnation of it, its popularity is close to first-class fiction, and "Weekly Excellence" is still struggling in the second and third streams.

And now "Son of the Detective" can't even surpass "Detective Conan"?

", why don't you win, who said that the outcome is unknown?"

"It's a pity that the sales volume is above Zhongxia, if "Detective's Son" can't even be on par with "Detective Conan", then there is no comparison at all......" "Zhongxia was hung and beaten by the teacher?"

"What the hell are they doing!"

A lot of the media was furious. Zhongxia Company has a lot of money, this is the last competition, and it is also the most critical time, and everyone is looking forward to it.

They thought that Zhongxia would make some amazing means to turn the tables, but there was nothing, and this giant company finally withered in the confrontation.

"When did the capitalists become so kind, it's simply unreasonable!"

"Wasn't Zhongxia very simple to his opponent before? I haven't heard of any means. What's a pity that no matter how powerful it is, it's just one person, and Phoenix Company has no background, why would Zhongxia honestly compete with them? ”

"If your brain is pumped, Zhongxia Company will definitely be worried about your opponent in the future!"

Chinese people love face very much, and Zhongxia Company let it pass over their heads, and this kind of thing spreads. It would be strange that the companies that were hostile to it did not laugh at it in the future.

However, the reporters were complaining, but Yang Liang, who was the person in charge of Zhongxia, was helpless, and he felt that he had done his best.

"We spend five times as much on publicity as Phoenix...... Although I don't know how Ninghai TV calculated the results, they didn't make mistakes, according to the preliminary statistics. The sales of "Detective's Son" are sad to be ...... of "Detective Conan"

Wang Zhe read the report in his office, and Yang Liang's face did not change. This result was not surprising to him, but there was still a faint bitterness flowing in his heart.

"There were no miracles...... This is Li Xin, and our limits......"

Yang Liang thinks back on the past two months, they are not careless, if there is no pity, the world will be full of praise for them.

In two months, a newcomer has been pushed from scratch to the pinnacle of Chinese comics, from an ordinary graduate to a hot comic star, worth tens of millions, this kind of star-making degree is enough to amaze everyone!

But what is the pity of this world, it is destined that Zhongxia Chuang's qiΔ“ will be given him a dowry.

In the past two months, Zhongxia has purposefully guided and controlled the media's speech, and now it is the limit. In a few days, as long as the sales of "Detective Son" and "Detective Conan" become clear, the media will blow a gust of wind.

At that time, no one will notice Zhongxia's achievements, but will cheer and be shocked by his victory over Zhongxia. It can be said that Tong GuΓ²'s incident this time, how to be praised on the altar, his position will be difficult to shake in the future, unless...... Unless he leaves Huaxia immediately.

Why not leave Huaxia, even if it is half a year, Zhongxia and other comic companies have the opportunity to launch new cartoonists and gain a foothold.

Otherwise, the shadow of what a pity hangs over the top of the Chinese comic industry, who wants to become popular with a newcomer, it will only be more difficult than now.

"Why didn't Duke Anthony make a move......

Yang Liang remembered the chairman's words, and a small flame of hope ignited in his heart.

Su Hua

Anthony walked to the airport by car.

"Your Excellency Duke, the trajectory of the people who are following you has been figured out......"

Annie reported beside him, Anthony opened his eyes, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Well done, Annie, you quickly arrange a stand-in for me, I will personally go and contact with He Xi." ”

He stayed in Suhua for a long time, but in the end he did not get the old lady's consent.

"My grandson is also a Chinese until he dies!"

The old man was reluctant to let his grandson go, but Anthony did not change his original intention, whether to go or not, this matter is not in the old man, but in what a pity.

There is an ancient Chinese saying that is called salute before soldiers...... Anthony personally came over to inform the old man that this was a ceremony, and since the ceremony had no effect, he could only use 'soldiers'.

The soldiers are coming to the city - what a pity to find directly.
