Big Manga

Chapter 55 : Unequal competition

After a fast and smooth piano sound, Meng Huo took his hands from the piano.

He looked up at the calendar, unknowingly it has entered November, today is Friday, and Qin Ya launched a new series in “Girls Comics” yesterday, and now the preliminary statistics of magazine sales should be completed.

What is the strength of that romantic princess, just wait for Alice and Teacher Hua Meng to arrive.

With a “click”, Li Qin opened the door and walked in.

“Xiao Huo, are you hungry? I bought you carrot dumplings.”

Li Qin walked into the house carrying a vegetable basket, she handed her breakfast to Meng Huo and then went into the kitchen to get busy: “Today’s dishes are many, and there is something delicious for noon.”

Since Hua Meng and Teacher Tomato came to work as assistants, Meng Huo’s house has been a lot of fun. Li Qin has to buy vegetables every day. She is obsessed with making various dishes. In order to buy enough fresh vegetables, every time Go out early in the morning.

“Mom, it doesn’t really need to be so troublesome.”

Meng Huo ate dumplings, poured a glass of milk, and said, “Recently, Alice complained that your cooking is getting better and better, which made her gain weight.”

“Isn’t that great?” Li Qin’s laughter came from the kitchen: “She is also a big eldest child, so if you are fattening up, let her go back and have a son. When I was like her, you would have used soy sauce.”

“That won’t work.” Meng Huo shook his head and said: “She is gone, who will help me.”

He felt that Alice was more and more indispensable, she was a full-time nanny. Aside from the distance, if Alice is not there, he will have to ride for a long time to learn the piano.

But sometimes Meng Huo felt that Alice was too hardworking. If she really offered to go home to have a baby, he would not refuse.

After eating breakfast, Alice and Teacher Huameng also arrived, neither of them had the usual smiles on their faces.

“what’s happenin?”

Meng Huo just wanted to ask, but he said: “Okay, you don’t need to say, first show me “Girls Comic”.”

He knew that they must have known the sales of “Girls Comics”, but Meng Huo felt that he should read it first, otherwise he would not be able to objectively evaluate Qin Ya’s comics because of the sales.

Huameng gave Meng Huo the “Girl Comic”, and Meng Huo opened it and read it. The name of the girl comic released by Qin Ya is “Star”, a very simple name, and the heroine’s name is also called Xing.

is a beautiful girl with divorced parents. She has lived with her father since she was a child. Xing also has a twin brother who lives with his mother, and he is the lead singer of China’s most famous star group ‘SKY’.

One day, Xing’s younger brother had a car accident and the entire ‘sky’ group was facing dissolution, so Xing’s mother found her and asked her to pretend to be a man…

The content of the first chapter of “Star” ends here. A typical girl manga, Meng Huo knows how the story will develop without reading it: Sky is a star group full of handsome guys, how can a girl appear in it? Of course it’s all kinds of love-hate entanglement, polygamy…

Meng Huo thinks that the theme of “Star” is old-fashioned, but it is old-fashioned. Stars and handsome guys are elements that are very popular among women. They like this set. If this comic is well drawn, it would be hard not to be popular. .

And don’t say anything, it’s really ready to be drawn…

This is what surprised Meng Huo the most. The quality of the comics in “Star” is excellent. Although it is not as good as Meng Huo, it is also very similar to the work drawn by a professional cartoonist, and the name of Qin Ya is also printed on the page.

“Is this painted by Qin Ya himself?”

Meng Huo raised his head and asked.

“Yes, it’s hard to believe. She said that she usually likes to paint. And she has shown her painting skills in public, so she should be right.” Alice’s expression is a bit solemn: “Although there are a few assistants, but the main painter It was her. I didn’t expect that she could not only write books, but also have such excellent manga skills.”

is incredible, the genius girl really deserves her reputation.

“So, how about sales?”

Menghuo put down the magazine and asked about the subject.

“Sales…” Hua Meng glanced at Alice and replied, “Teacher He Xi, the sales volume of “Girls Comics” this week is 200,000 less than “Weekly Girls”.”

The gap of 200,000 is a preliminary statistical result. On the surface, “Weekly Girls” won, but “Girls Comics” did not lose either.

A month ago, “Weekly Girls” sold 200,000 less than “Girls Comics”. Meng Huo relied on “Inuyasha” to make up for and widen the gap. Then last week, the preliminary statistics of “Weekly Girls” were 500,000 more than “Girls Manga”.

As soon as Qin Ya’s new cartoon was published, the gap narrowed by 300,000, almost destroying the advantage Meng Huo had established. Moreover, this is only a preliminary statistical result. The two magazines will be released inland in the next few days, and the gap will definitely be further reduced.

Meng Huo has the largest fan base in Ninghai and the surrounding areas. Going outside, he and those second-rate authors have almost the same influence. After all, other places do not have the propaganda advantage like Ninghai.

Qingya in the main battlefield of Meng Huo increased the sales of “Girls Manga” to the present level. How about she in the mainland? Her reputation in the Mainland is much higher than that of Meng Huo.

“Weekly Girl” is in danger.

“Meng Huo, don’t be discouraged, this is not your problem.” Alice watched Meng Huo thinking, thinking he was sad, and quickly comforted: “The company knows that Qin Ya is dangerous, and it conducted a spot check yesterday. The result showed that “Inuyasha” More like “Star”, you didn’t lose.”

In terms of story plot and style, “Inuyasha” has achieved a very high level Although Qin Ya is genius, she cannot surpass Meng Huo.

The reason for this situation is simple.

“You and Qin Ya are not equal in influence. She has accumulated for two years and has too many fans.” Alice said, “You are still young, and you will definitely be more prosperous than her in two years.”

Meng became famous very quickly, but his foundation was weak. His reputation was limited to comics, and Qin Ya was well-known throughout the country through novels and TV dramas.

This competition is unequal. Meng Huo’s chance of winning is only to expect that Qin Ya’s paintings will not be good at the beginning. As long as her paintings can be generally accepted by fans, Meng Huo has no chance of winning.

This is a huge gap in fame and influence, and it is difficult to make up. No matter how good Meng Huo’s comics are, he does not have a readership that can match Qin Ya.

“What else can I do…”

Menghuo pondered, “Shojo Manga” has not surpassed “Weekly Girl”, of course he is not willing to sit still. But to beat Qin Ya, he has only one way to go.

is to let the most people know “Inuyasha” in the shortest time.

However, this is too difficult. Even if Phoenix Company fully promotes it, the effect will not show up so quickly, and other methods will be slower.

“I have a way to try.”

Alice hesitated slightly, her eyes flickered, and she said: “If Meng Huo is willing to stand up and tell others what you are sorry for, then I think all the media will keep their eyes on you.”

A young genius who debuted at the age of fifteen and just turned sixteen will definitely be more eye-catching than Qin Ya!
