Big Manga

"Teacher He Xi, good news!"

On Friday, Huameng, who came to work, showed an excited expression as soon as she entered the door: "This issue of "Inuyasha" has been well received, and sales have increased again."

"Not only that." Alice walked in the door with her, and said with a smile: "The sales of "Shoujo Manga" are basically the same as last week, and the gap has widened."

In the past few weeks, the situation has changed. Qin Ya released the original manga "Star" and tried to knock down "Inuyasha" from the first place, but the result was unsuccessful. In the following two weeks, "Inuyasha" pulled the distance away.

With the influence lost to Qin Ya, Meng Huo used the quality to tell others that his comics are well-deserved No. 1 in China.

However, with the increase in sales, Meng Huo was delighted but also a little regretful. He watched this week's "Star", and the plot mode was not as bright as expected. Qin Ya was originally an opponent he was expecting, but her reaction speed was not fast enough, and she did not take advantage of her momentum to catch up.

And the plot of the next issue of "Inuyasha" will be more bold. If Qin Ya doesn't make big changes to the work, the distance between the two will become farther and farther.

Not only that.

The other novelists of Longteng Company were also frustrated.

They originally wanted to invade the comics world with arrogance, but several colleagues were shot down one after another. Even the talented girl Qin Ya couldn't defeat He Xi. These novelists suddenly discovered that the comics world was not good at all, and retreated one by one. Drumming.

Knowing that He Xi will step on the soles of his feet when publishing comics, who would dare to come?

And without an opponent, Meng Huo was inevitably a bit boring.

In the morning, he and Teacher Hua Meng started drawing, while Alice worked on the computer, everything was as usual.

Just during the break, Meng Huo remembered the "Detective Conan" reader appreciation meeting in the next two days, and asked Alice about the specific content of the event.

"Content? We didn't organize anything." Strangely, Alice didn't care too much: "This event is organized by the readers themselves. I don't know what the content is, but I heard that some groups perform in turn."

"Self-organization?"

Why did Meng Huo hear that Shen Jie said it was an official organization? He asked the question, and Alice explained it to him in detail.

It turned out that the so-called Reader Appreciation Party was originally a gathering organized by fans of "Detective Conan" online. Because of the large number of applicants, it attracted the attention of the editorial department of "Weekly Boys". Ye Xiong offered to provide the venue, and the name of the party It became thank-you party, too.

However, in fact, the official participation in the thank-you meeting is not strong. In addition to providing a venue and asking people to maintain order, the specific content of the event is completely assigned to the fan groups to arrange themselves.

"Each group has a fixed home time. They can perform to their heart's content during the home time. Do you want to go with Shen Jie? Actually, you don't have to go for two days. Just ask when is her group's home game."

After listening to Alice, Meng Huo immediately sent a message to Shen Jie. Shen Jie seemed to be in class, and it took more than half an hour to reply.

"I'm going to play for two days. If you're busy, come at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Our performance is in the afternoon."

Meng Huo told Alice the time.

"Afternoon? Are you going to perform?" Alice was surprised: "This afternoon is our company's home stadium."

As the sponsor, Phoenix Company cannot justify not participating at all. "Weekly Boys" is in charge of the home arrangement on Sunday afternoon,

Although it is said to be responsible, in fact, it is just a cutscene to express thanks, and then the stage is handed over to several outstanding fan groups to perform.

"I didn't expect Shen Jie to be a long-time fan of yours."

Alice said in amazement that it seems easy to perform on weekend afternoons, but there are actually two conditions: first, the group must be a very prominent fan group, and second, the performers must be recognized by the group members.

Of course she knew that Meng Huo hadn't taken the initiative to join the fan group. If so, the problem lay with Shen Jie.

Meng Huo also remembered that Shen Jie had said that she was the manager of the chat room, but he didn't care about it. He was relieved that he only needed to perform on weekend afternoons, so that he could continue practicing piano on Saturday and weekend mornings.

However, he found that Phoenix Company did not pay as much attention to offline activities as he thought.

Hasn't there been a scene as lively as the previous life fan exhibition or other animation events in the whole of China? The development of the comics industry here is limited, and no one is going to open up the market, but is it normal for this to happen...

"What are you not doing?"

Meng Huo suggested to Alice: "It's hard to hold a reader's gathering, why not take this opportunity to promote the booklet, I remember the booklet will be out soon."

The second volume of "Detective Conan" will be released in December, and the first volume of "Inuyasha" will be released around the same time. It would be a waste not to take advantage of this opportunity to advertise.

"They were your readers in the first place, so they won't be of much benefit. Anyway, there will be advertisements in the future, and there is no rush." ​​Alice frowned slightly: "However, if you say this, the company is indeed a little colder towards this party, which may disappoint readers. .”

"Because it was too sudden, we didn't prepare in advance." Alice explained: "The company plans to hold a reader meeting after the Chinese New Year, so we have no interest in this event."

Things are not as bad as Meng Huo thought. There are book signings, reader meetings, and various offline activities in this world. Meng Huo has not debuted for a long time, and Phoenix Company thinks it will be better to hold it after a while.

"Well, I'll ask the editor-in-chief to add more content to satisfy the readers, and make the thank-you meeting more lively... That's right!" Alice clapped her hands suddenly: "Why didn't I think of it at first, and it can solve a problem."

Her eyes lit up and she stared straight at Meng Huo.

"Teacher He Xi, this matter will trouble you!"

"What's the meaning?"

Meng Huo frowned slightly, Alice hadn't called him He Xi for a long time.

"You will understand tomorrow."

Alice smiled and refused to reveal.

The next day, Saturday.

"Quick, move these in."

Early in the morning, Alice directed a few people to move the box into Meng Huo’s house. Meng Huo waited for them to open the box and saw that it was filled with beautiful postcards made by the characters of “Detective Conan” and “Inuyasha” .

"Okay, sign it!" Alice said with a smile, "Hurry up and finish signing, and go to learn the piano early."

Meng Huo counted the number, at most more than a hundred. Is Alice trying to sell his autograph? What's the deal with this...

However, he underestimated the value of his signature. For He Xi, who has always remained mysterious, autographs are something that will drive fans crazy.

And Alice had an additional purpose in asking him to sign.

(Thank you Mengying? for your reward!)
