Chapter 440: A Showdown
In this way, Meng Huo began the training program of a young girl cartoonist.
He and Qin Ya worked together for six or seven hours a day to make "Madoka Magical Girl", and there was plenty of time to talk about comics, and the number of animations Meng Yu had watched in his previous life was too much, so he told some things that were helpful to Qin Ya but useless to himself, and after a few days, Qin Ya was already convinced.
If it weren't for Meng Shu's age younger than her, Qin Ya might have bent down to worship him as a teacher. However, even if there was no apprenticeship, Qin Ya's attitude towards Meng Shu became much more respectful.
"The longer I stay in Phoenix Company, the more I discover my ignorance ......" On Weibo, Qin Ya wrote such a Weibo: "It's a pity that the teacher's understanding of comics and animation is beyond my imagination, and it must be beyond everyone's expectations...... No one who has really talked to him has a hard time understanding the comic industry in his heart. ”
"He is a person who stands in front of the times, and I believe that thirty or even forty years from now, why will the teacher still be the leader of the Chinese comics industry......
It's a pity that it has been at least thirty years longer than Huaxia Comics, and Qin Ya has come to a very definite conclusion. The cultural industry is changing very quickly, and 30 years is enough time to eliminate several batches or even more than a dozen batches of cartoonists, but it is a pity that he will not be left behind by the changes of the times, and he will always stand in front and move forward as a pioneer.
Qin Ya, a cartoonist who has influenced generations, had heard such comments in Focus Interviews, and now she feels that as long as she spares time, he can create an era and even influence the next hundreds of years.
However, outsiders obviously did not see the true meaning of Qin Ya's Weibo, why would they maintain their current status in thirty or forty years, and this sentence did not attract much attention.
"The reason for the long-term success is simple. "Pokemon" and "Detective Conan" are not a problem for thirty or forty years. As long as these two works are still there. It's a pity that it won't fall. ”
Some experts jokingly said that this sentence represents the opinion of the vast majority of people, and in their opinion, it is a pity to rely on existing works to maintain popularity for decades. The same is true of Phoenix, as long as they don't die, those two feature-length hits can feed the company's hundreds of employees.
However, Qin Ya didn't mean that, she thought that his deep understanding of comics would allow him to keep up with the trend of comics for decades, but it was difficult for people to understand this kind of explanation.
So Qin Ya gave up. What's a pity, she doesn't need to give others popular science.
On the other hand, the media and reporters are more concerned about how they will react to the new manga of Angel, and they have interviewed many times, and many people have come to the manga island.
"Why do they want to ask me what to do every time Zhongxia Company launches a new comic?" Meng was so annoyed that on November 12, he couldn't help but complain while having dinner with Alice: "I'm not a nanny from Zhongxia Company, what ......does it matter to me?"
This time, "Angel" launched a new comic, and Meng Huo was quite displeased - this time "Dragon and Tiger" already has the opponent of "The Legend of the Galaxy Singer". Suddenly inserting an 'angel' to disrupt the situation, it's strange that he can still be happy!
In addition, the serialized magazine of "Angel's new manga" this time is "Midsummer Daily". The name of "Midsummer Daily" says that it is a daily magazine, but the manga it serializes every day is a different manga, and in fact, it is a weekly magazine for a single manga work. The magazine's sales vary from day to day, but the average sales are about the same as those of Weekly Shonen.
Since the Zhongxia Company opened up its channels a few years ago, "Weekly Boy" has now become the highest-selling weekly comic magazine in China in a single day, followed by "Zhongxia Daily". Its single-day sales are equivalent to 1.5 times that of Weekly Girl, which in turn has twice as many single-day sales as Weekly Twins (Month).
In this way, is there any comparison between the two new manga? "Dragon and Tiger" was originally a niche girl's comic, with a limited audience, and no matter how against the sky, it is impossible for "Weekly Gemini (Monthly)" to surpass "Midsummer Daily"!
"Midsummer Daily" does not have a clear distinction between teenagers and girls, but 80% of the comics in it are shonen comics, and it can be said that it is a fierce rival of "Weekly Shonen". But this shonen manga's fierce rival is now aimed at the shoujo manga of Phoenix Company, and it is also a shoujo manga magazine with lower sales......
"Isn't this a big bully?" Meng Shu felt speechless, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to react to the media, no matter how shameless he was, he couldn't play like this - a three-year-old child knew that this was not a confrontation.
"They're just curbing your limelight." Alice couldn't help but laugh when she heard Meng Shu's complaints: "Everyone is not stupid, no one will take the confrontation between "Midsummer Daily" and "Weekly Twins (Monthly)" seriously...... Zhongxia Company's calculation should not want you to continue to be in the limelight, so it launched a new comic to curb it. ”
"Their goal is definitely Madoka Magical Girl!"
The reason is very simple, Zhongxia Company does not want Meng Huo to occupy the focus of the news again. Although the new comics released by 'Angel' in the "Mid-Summer Daily" can't tell the media that they won, at least they will definitely not lose, and "Weekly Twin (Monthly)" will have a hard time catching up with the sales of "Mid-Summer Daily" in their lifetime.
The manga doesn't lose, and then "Flame Boy" beats "Madoka Magical Girl" - the original purpose of Chuxia Company and 'Angel' has been achieved. So the battlefield of this confrontation is still an animation battlefield, and the only problem is that this sudden incident made Meng Shu feel unhappy.
Angel's new manga isn't a rival, but it's published every week on the same day as Weekly Twin (Monthly) and will definitely have an impact on Dragon and Tiger, and Meng is likely to lose out to Qin Ya's Legend of the Galactic Singer.
Meng Shu and Qin Yabi are some of the readership counted by Phoenix Company, which is not directly related to sales, but it is easy to be affected.
"If they hinder me like this, then don't blame me for being ruthless...... "The more Meng Shu thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and he said to Alice: "Since the angels are confident that 'Flame Boy' can win, I prefer that they can't win!" “
Alice's eyes lit up: "Could it be that there is another twist in the eighth episode?" ”
The biggest impression that "Madoka Magical Girl" gave her was that God had turned around.
"Right...... There's a twist later, but this time it's not a matter of the plot......"
Meng Shu shook his head, the plot of the eighth episode of "Magical Girl Madoka" is very good, it has been completed and sent to CCTV, and it will be broadcast tomorrow, so there is no time to revise it for him.
"I'm going to fight it out with Flame Boy in Episode 9!" (To be continued......)
