Chapter 8 :wave
Qingyuan Bookstore is the largest bookstore in Ninghai. However, it is not so much a bookstore as it is a comprehensive bookstore integrating various entertainment measures such as a book-centric cafe, gymnasium, and computer room. It welcomes readers every day. Ten thousand people.
He Qian is a temporary clerk in the comics section of the book city. Because she can read comics freely, she has a very high-sightedness.
“A good story has to be drawn so revealing, is it the only way to sell the characteristics of current comics?” She flipped through a single book of comics called “The Horsewoman”, frowning.
As the market for novel adaptations of comics is booming, in order to increase the sales of one-line books, cartoonists always like to play with the style of painting. The result did attract many male readers, but it also caused some unhappy female readers.
He Qian is one of them. She wants to read comics instead of se love magazines.
“The best-selling novels are almost all adapted, and the quality is getting worse and worse. It seems that I haven’t read it for the time being…”
He Qian put down “The Horsewoman” while complaining. She sorted out the books that were misplaced by readers as usual. When she was about to leave, she found that there were many readers around the comics week bookshelf, which looked very lively.
“Why is it so lively there?”
She returned to the counter with questions. Normally, Comic Weekly is always short of readers. Some people go there to read the industry news: “Are there any popular novels to be adapted from comics?”
Inside the counter, Bai Ya, who had just checked out for a guest, laughed: “Where is there any popular novel? There is an interesting original comic in this issue of “Weekly Shonen”, and everyone is discussing it!”
She looked through the sales records of the computer and said: “Today’s “Weekly Youth” sales have surpassed “Women’s Knight”. Last week, there were not so many copies sold. The store manager said that too few orders have been rushed to restock. ”
The sales volume of periodicals exceeds that of popular monographs?
He Qian was stunned: “What manga is that, and what new work by a top cartoonist.”
“No.” Bai Ya shook her head, her eyes full of playful abuse: “Remember the cover of the last issue of Weekly Youth? I told you that there was a mysterious author whose pen name was the same as yours, and that new comic was him. s work.”
He Qian recalled the last issue of Weekly Boys. The cover was a strange black figure. It was a new serial trailer. I remember the name seemed to be “Detective Conan.” She was not very interested in detective subjects, so she didn’t pay attention at the time.
A detective manga has such a strong appeal? He Qian couldn’t help but became curious. She wanted to squeeze over to take a look, but she didn’t want to hinder readers.
Fortunately, there is a paper wall at the entrance of the comics area. This is a major feature of Qingyuan Bookstore. The bookstore owner gets inspiration from the Internet. There are free sticky notes outside each area. Readers can post their favorite book reviews and thoughts on the sticker wall, which can enhance reader interaction and allow operators to more accurately understand the reader’s psychology.
He Qian walked to the door and found that the sticker wall had been covered with dense sticky notes.

New topic launch: Recommend the new serialization of this issue of “Weekly Shonen”, the comic name is “Detective Conan”, what do you gentlemen think? I think the author’s painting skills are superb, combined with the preferences of young people to depict unpopular subjects, white but not vulgar, and may be popular. (PS: The last picture is amazing!)
First floor: I agree that the last picture is very beautiful, but is it storytelling… Is this TMD a detective story? Is the author teasing us?
Second floor: Thank you for your recommendation! The drawing style is great, the male lead can’t be more handsome, it feels like an interesting love comic! But is it really okay to let the male lead become a child in the first episode? What about my poor female lead QAQ! ?
Third floor: Calm, sister, I said it has no effect, the Xiaozheng on the last page is too cute!
Fourth floor: upstairs +1
Fifth Floor: Upstairs +10086, the author has won my heart, and finally I have a comic that I can recommend to my sisters!
6th floor: (Big sweat), the ladies above don’t talk nonsense, this is obviously a serious detective story!
Seventh floor: IQ on the sixth floor is not enough. Detective stories are always dull and dark, and the atmosphere is tense. Do you feel that way when you watch “Detective Conan”? It is clearly a love comic in a detective’s skin. It makes my eyes full of love…
Eighth floor: laugh, the IQ upstairs is so high, I absolutely believe that this is a detective cartoon, although only one story, but the case inside is very detailed, the male protagonist’s reasoning process is also very good, the pure love cartoon is definitely not There will be such a rigorous structure and thinking.
Ninth Floor: I feel the same way, this is a detective comic full of youthful flavor, it is estimated to be popular! And the last page is great, I want to buy it and cut it out for collection…
Tenth floor: Thanks for the recommendation, is the author really a young genius?
Eleventh floor: Juvenile is a middle term, Zhengtai and Lori are both possible.
Twelfth floor: Maybe it’s the uncle who pulls the feet, puff puff puff…
Thirteenth floor: It must be the uncle who picks the feet or the auntie who buys food. Anyway, I don’t believe that young people can draw this kind of content, and the last one is really good. It is probably the vest of a professional cartoonist.
Fourteenth floor: You must have not read the Weekly Boy from last issue. Seeing that the silhouette of the black shadow should be a boy…

casually glanced, He Qian was surprised by the reader’s comments. There are still a lot of people’s post-it notes. Regardless of what they are saying, so many comments prove that the comic is quite excellent.
Is it possible to cause a topic just by saying a word?
“Phoenix has launched an amazing cartoonist this time.”
A voice suddenly sounded, and He Qian was startled. She found an old man standing by her side at some unknown time.
“The shop, the manager, I’m sorry, I’ll go to work right away!” He Qian’s face turned white. Didn’t the manager go to buy the goods? How could he come back so quickly, it would be bad if he thought he was lazy.
The old man smiled: “It doesn’t matter, I can understand your curiosity.”
He was not at all angry, touched his beard and looked at the comments on the sticker wall, and continued: “Last week, I read Weekly Boys and wondered how they would use dark shadows to promote the new series. Today I understand. They are pretending to be Suspense packaging newcomers!”
“what?”
He Qian is a bit embarrassed. She thinks she should go to work, but she also feels that the manager seems to be talking to her. Will leaving make him unhappy?
“It’s normal for you to be too young to see it.” The old man glanced at He Qian and said with a smile: “I saw the cartoon today. The drawing skills and content are excellent, and the last picture shows the author’s amazing talent. Perhaps last week’s “Weekly Youth” used dark shadows for publicity to prove that talent. As long as more and more people pay attention to it, the author’s identity will be eye-catching.”
“When everyone is guessing who the author is, the media will hype, and the comic authors and the Phoenix company can complete the promotion without spending money…what a powerful method!”
Of course I said so, but as long as the comics do not become popular, Phoenix will be wasting the effort.
He Qian became more and more curious about the comic author: “I heard that the author is a teenager, do you believe the store manager?”
The old man laughed.
“If Weekly Youth didn’t write this sentence, I would definitely not believe it.” He smiled and shook his head: “But they clearly wrote that no one can never show up. Sooner or later, the author will be exposed. Lying is tantamount to destroying credibility… They will do that. Are you stupid?”
He Qian opened her mouth wide: “Is that really a young man?”
‘Juvenile’ in China refers to children between the ages of twelve and seventeen. Although it is not clear how much money a cartoonist can earn, He Qian knows that she can’t make a week’s worth of manuscript fees in a month.
“Why use He Xi as a pen name.”
She pouted her mouth, with the same name and similar age, didn’t that guy hit herself on purpose! However, He Qian’s mind was completely attracted by the comic. She would have to see what the content of the detective comic was to make people full of praise.
At noon, He Qian picked up a copy of “Weekly Youth” during the break and couldn’t wait to read it.
The rest of the content in this weekly magazine is still as plain and boring as usual, but after finding the number of pages, a colorful figure of people appears.
“Detective Conan”, under the big title is a cute little boy wearing a hat and smiling.
“Is he the protagonist? Very cute!”
He Qian thought to herself, but she turned a few pages but suddenly found that something was wrong. The protagonist was obviously a handsome high school detective. This detective is not only handsome and smart, but also very good at playing football. He is a real prince charming. The heroine who appeared later was also very special, she could punch through the wall with one punch, and she was still a karate master!
The setting of this comic is great. UU reading www.uukanshu.com made He Qian fall in love with the protagonist and heroine in just a few glances. She watched it fascinatingly. The scene of the protagonist solving the crime is too classic, even if it has never been. She who doesn’t read detective novels can read it tastefully.
Only the development after solving the case seemed a bit strange, He Qian looked at it with doubts, and soon saw the last page.
“Huh?” She stared wide-eyed, and on the last page was a picture of a child with the same wide-eyed eyes.
“So beautiful!” He Qian has never seen such a beautiful cartoon picture. The boundless aura and charm of the author’s pen is almost the same as an artistic painting.
For an instant, He Qian couldn’t help but wonder if any traditional painter was entering the comics industry.
She shook her head, frowned and flipped through the previous content again.
“How could a child appear…”
He Qian just turned too fast and didn’t know how the final scene came out. After watching it again, she discovered that it was the male lead who had been filled with a mysterious potion and became smaller. What exactly is that medicine? Who are the two men in black?
There is also the body of the male protagonist becoming a child, how can he be with the female protagonist!
“It’s gone at a critical moment.” He Qian gritted her teeth. Who on earth wrote such a cute plot, and in just a few words, the reader’s mind is so thorough, that is simply a devil.
After working in the comic area, He Qian has not seen such an excellent comic for a long time.
“Ah ah, I have to wait for the next 7 days, why is it a weekly magazine!”
The same situation. With the release of “Weekly Youth”, a wave of panic buying began in bookstores everywhere.
