"What a pity for my self-confidence - I only need female readers, I can also cross the summer comics!"

Looking at a news headline on the Internet, Meng Shu couldn't help but laugh: "It's just nonsense." ”

How can he have such self-confidence, just drawing shoujo manga in a girl's magazine, isn't that a matter of course?

This incident was born on the night of the sale of "Weekly Girl", and Meng Huo was busy all day, so he could only spare time in the evening to read other people's comments on "Urouran High School Men's Public Relations Department".

The media has praised and dispraised, but generally speaking, it is still appreciated, and there seems to be only one reason for the disparagement: it is not suitable for male readers.

This point of view is really prominent, and many male readers have also left messages in his personal space.

"It's a pity that your mythical status in my heart has been shattered, I didn't expect you to give up your discipline for those female readers!"

"I don't like "Ouran High School Men's Public Relations Department", I feel uncomfortable when I see public relations, how do those six rich and handsome people look like ducks, why don't you disappoint me, teacher."

"I can't stand it, the more I draw, the worse it gets, it's so disgusting, a man actually draws the heroine's harem comics!"

"I've always felt that you're different from other cartoonists, but now it's getting more and more vulgar, what's the difference between "Ouran High School Male Public Relations Club" and other shoujo comics? I might as well go to see Qin Ya's "Star", at least she is a serious beautiful girl! ”

These comments were made by male readers, which then caused discontent among female readers.

"You boys think Weekly Girl is your family? It's supposed to be a comic for us girls.,If you don't like it, just leave.,No one asks you to see it! ”

"Only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. What is the rationale for this? Men's novels and comics, three wives and four concubines. Why can't shoujo manga? And "Ouran High School Male Public Relations Department" only has one sentence. How do you know it's a harem? What if it's innocence? ”

"Ignore them, I just read several of them are professional trolls, I don't know where I saw the news and sprayed directly, and I may not have read the comics. People who like the teacher won't be blind here.,I'm a girl.,But what a pity the teacher draws, I'll watch it.,I'm going to grab "Weekly Boys" all night tonight.,Is there a team! ”

"Add me one. I'm on the night shift—"

"Me too, "Weekly Boy" adds me one, by the way, I'm a male reader, the story of "Urouran High School Male Public Relations Department" is still quite interesting, I believe that the teacher will not fall into the routine of the reverse harem text, and he will definitely draw new ideas."

Meng Shou flipped several pages of comments, and although there were many disparagements, most of them were praised. To put it simply, "Weekly Girl" is a place to serialize shoujo manga, and male readers can face it sensibly if they don't like it. Only a few calculating people will pick on the thorns.

And tomorrow is "Weekly Shonen", and male readers are looking forward to what new shonen manga will be released.

The beginning of "Urouran High School Men's Public Relations Department" is very girly manga style. It will also make people have a misunderstanding of the harem, but the later exhibition is still very good, the emotions of the hero and heroine are more single-minded, and time will prove its value.

After turning off the computer, Meng was satisfied: "It seems that the sales will not be bad." ”

There is such a heated discussion on the Internet, which means that it is very popular, and the sales of "Weekly Girl" will not be bad.

――――――

At this time, in a shopping mall, several women are choosing clothes.

"My mom just called me to tell me that she had bought a copy of Weekly Girl and asked me if I had a copy for the next issue. I said no, and she blamed me for being useless as an editor......"

"Don't say it, today's magazine is selling very well, and I don't have a place to sell it when I get off work."

"Well, although the report hasn't come out yet, looking at today's situation, the results are not much worse. The editor-in-chief said that as long as the sales of "Urouran High School Men's Public Relations Department" are good, the company will give us all bonuses, which is cool. ”

This is a group of female editors of "Weekly Girl", and now that the prize money is expected, they go out shopping together.

A few people chatted, and slowly became a little lost: "However, we really need to reflect on it......"

"Yes, I made an appointment with a few teachers, and when they arrive, I must open their minds tonight!"

It's a good thing that "Weekly Girl" is selling well, but why is the sales of so many serialized comics increased instead of decreasing? Is it a pity that one person really tops so many people?

Normally, the editors would have put all the reasons on what to do, but this time it was different.

The drawing work of "Urouran High School Men's Public Relations Department" was mainly done by two female cartoonists, and such a hot sales at least proved that the quality of this cartoon was very guaranteed, and their drawing skills were beautiful enough.

So why is it that the painting is so good, but it has ended up in half? At the root of it, it's a matter of storytelling.

"Ahhh

One of the female editors scratched her head, and she felt irritated at the thought of the elm pimples under her hands.

"It's not easy." "Yes, it's easy to say, how to use your brain......"

Other editors are a little helpless, not everyone is like a pity, for most cartoonists, it is very rare to come up with a few good stories in a lifetime.

"It's not as useful for me to use my brain as it is to guide." Another female editor suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Why didn't the teacher give us a theme of "Magical Girl" before?" Now it's time to open the comic copyright of "Pokemon" again, and the effect is very good! ”

Meng Shu handed over "Magical Girl", and female cartoonists used their brains one after another, and themed works popped up one after another. It's been a few months, and "Magical Girl" is still a hot topic for submissions, and the quality of submissions is much higher than that of other shoujo manga.

Last week, Meng Shu opened the comic rights of "Pokemon", and several female cartoonists also came up with ideas, such as the heroine and the elf participating in a gorgeous performance contest together, which is eye-catching.

"Bootstrapping?"

The other editors looked at each other a few times: "This is unrealistic, is it?" ”

"Original comics are all crossing the river by feeling the stones, the market is so small, everyone writes according to previous experience, the model is fixed, and all along, we have also persuaded cartoonists to draw those routine texts, what else can we guide?"

"There's no way around it, it's not easy to be recognized by readers if you want to write a new theme......"

"No-that's true before, but now it's different, it's a pity that every work of the teacher is a new theme, and each of them is popular, if we let the cartoonist go to the teacher's work to find the expectation point for originality, it will probably work."

One editor said, excited: "Yes, that's right, I found my way!" ”

Others were curious.

"What road, tell me more about it!"

"Looking for something to look forward to!" The editor excitedly explained: "For example, "Detective Conan, when I was watching it, I kept thinking about why Kidd had so few appearances, and I was especially looking forward to him appearing again, and this is the expectation point. ”

"Other readers must be expecting Kidd to appear, suppose a teacher uses Kidd as a model and draws a comic, and the male protagonist is a mysterious and elegant monster thief magician like Kidd, wouldn't that satisfy some of the readers' expectations?"

The eyes of the other editors lit up.

"I guess so, I'm interested in listening to it."

"Expectation point - I think this is interesting, the expectation point can be exhibited in many places, such as the shrine maiden in "Inuyasha", youkai, love in different time and space, these can be used."

"Not only that, but the cherry blossoms in "Five Centimeters per Second" are also very well drawn, and they can even be used as themes! I also particularly enjoyed the section on the tram in the snow, and I think readers would want to read a similar story as well. ”

"It's a pity that the teacher's works are full of gold, his comics are so charming, and they will definitely leave readers with a lot of reverie, and these reveries are actually the points of expectation!"

The more the editors thought about it, the more excited they became, and they had a new path, one that would allow other cartoonists to catch up.

Other manga artists look for the expectations of readers and create stories based on these expectations, and the resulting manga is not only rich and colorful, but also interesting, and there will even be a number of manga genres such as "shrine maiden" and "cherry blossoms".

"Good idea, call the editor-in-chief!"

"Don't fight for the time being, I'll talk about it when I go to work tomorrow, the editor-in-chief is busy checking "Dream Eater".

"Yes, I saw that I had forgotten about it. However, the company was too partial to "Dream Eater", and even asked the two editors-in-chief to do the final inspection together......"

"There's no way, "Dream Eater" is a comic demarcated by the chairman himself, and he requires both male and female readers to adapt to it, and the editor-in-chief is under great pressure."

"It's a pity that in this way, "Weekly Boy" has overtaken us again."

"Dream Eater", this is the comic that Phoenix has paid the most attention to since "Detective Conan", in fact, many female editors have also read the first draft of the comic, and they feel very good, but not to such an amazing point.

Some people even thought that it would not reach the heights of "Detective Conan" at all, but Xu Jing insisted on going his own way and had high hopes for it. Xu Jing has been looking for such a comic, "Dream Eater" is a comic that can be used as a teaching material, and it can influence many people, which is also a very difficult comic to come out.

Forty years ago, Anthony influenced countless people with a "Sherlock" film, and the number of mystery writers in the entire world multiplied several times.

Also in China, where the competition for novels is fierce, the reason why Longteng Company broke through was that several books describing novelists played a key role. Some young people saw the life of novelists, saw their struggle and glory in Longteng, and began to aspire to this profession.

Qin Ya is one of them, and the people she symbolizes bring vitality to Longteng Company and also give a boost to the prosperity of the novel.

Xu Jing's idea is very simple, he hopes that there will also be a comic in the comic industry that depicts the struggle of cartoonists, and if this comic becomes popular, it will not only make people more aware and accept comics, but also have a positive impact on the future comic market exhibition......
