Chapter 8

Qingyuan book city is the largest bookstore in Ninghai. However, it is not so much a bookstore as a Book centered comprehensive book city integrating various entertainment measures such as coffee shop, fitness center and computer room, which receives tens of thousands of readers every day.

He Xi is a temporary staff member in the comic area of the book city. Because she can read comic books freely, she has a high vision.

"A good story needs to be exposed. Is it the only way to sell the features of current comics?" She looked through a comic book called "the knight" and frowned.

With the popularity of the market of novel adapted comics, in order to improve the sales volume of the book, cartoonists always like to play the edge ball in the style of painting, which has indeed attracted many male readers, but also caused some female readers' displeasure.

Hosey is one of them. She wants to read comics instead of magazines.

"The best-selling novels are almost adapted, and the quality is getting worse and worse. It seems that there is no need to read them for the time being..."

He Xi complains and puts down "the lady Knight". As usual, she arranges the books misplaced by readers. When she is about to leave, she finds that the comic weekly bookshelf is surrounded by many readers and looks very lively.

"How can it be so busy 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: "is there any popular novel to adapt comic?"

Inside the counter, Bai Ya, who has just finished paying for a guest, laughs: "there is no popular novel. There is an interesting original cartoon in this issue of weekly youth. Everyone is discussing it!"

She looked through the sales records of the computer and said, "today's weekly youth has sold more than the knight. Last week, there were not so many copies sold. The store manager said that there were too few orders and that they had rushed to add the goods."

Does the sales volume of periodicals exceed that of popular books?

He Xi Leng Leng: "that is what cartoon, which top cartoonist's new work."

"No Bai Ya shook her head, her eyes full of Drama: "remember the cover of the last issue of" weekly youth "? I told you at that time that there was a mysterious author whose pseudonym was the same as yours, and that the new cartoon was his work. "

He Xi recalled that the cover of the magazine was a strange black figure. It was a trailer of a new series. It seemed to be called Detective Conan. She was not very interested in detective subjects, so she didn't pay attention at that time.

How can a detective cartoon have such a strong appeal? He Xi can't help being curious. She wants to squeeze over and have a look, but it's not good to hinder the readers.

Fortunately, there is a sticker wall at the entrance of the comic area, which is a major feature of Qingyuan bookstore. The bookstore owner gets inspiration from the Internet, and there are free sticky notes outside each area. Readers can paste their favorite book reviews and feelings on the sticker wall, which can strengthen the interaction between readers and make the operators more accurately understand the readers' psychology.

He Xi went to the door and found that the wall had been covered with sticky notes.

New topic initiation: recommend the new serial of this issue of "weekly youth". The name of the cartoon is "Detective Conan". What do you think of it? I think the author's painting skill is superb, combined with the preference of young people to depict the unpopular theme, white but not vulgar, maybe fire（ PS: the last picture is amazing

First floor: I agree that the last picture is very beautiful, but the story... Is this a detective story? Is the author teasing us?

Second floor: Thank you for your recommendation! The style of painting is wonderful. The male coach can't be more handsome. I feel it's an interesting love cartoon! But is it really OK to let the man become a child in the first place? What should my poor girl do, QAQ!?

Third floor: calm down, sister. I said it had no influence. The last page of Xiaozheng is so cute!

Fourth floor: upstairs + 1

Fifth floor: upstairs + 10086, the author is deeply in my heart, and finally a comic book can be recommended to my sisters!

Sixth floor: (sweaty), don't talk nonsense about the ladies above. This is a serious detective story!

Seventh floor: the sixth floor lacks intelligence. Detective stories are always dull and gloomy, and the atmosphere is tense. Do you think Detective Conan has such a feeling? It's clearly a love cartoon in detective's skin, which makes my eyes full of love

Eighth floor: smile, I have a high IQ upstairs. I absolutely believe it's a detective cartoon. Although there is only one word, the cases in it are very detailed, and the reasoning process of the man is also excellent. A simple love cartoon will never have such rigorous structure and thinking.

Ninth floor: I have the same feeling. This is a detective cartoon full of youth. It is estimated that it will be hot! And the last page is very good. I want to buy it and cut it off for collection10th floor: Thank you for your recommendation. Is the author really a young genius?

11th floor: youth is a middle meaning word. Both Zhengtai and Lori are possible.

12th floor: maybe uncle Goujiao, poof poof

13th floor: it must be uncle picky or vegetable shopping aunt. Anyway, I don't believe that young people can draw this kind of content, and the last painting is really excellent. It's estimated that it's the vest of a professional cartoonist.

Fourteenth floor: you certainly didn't read the juvenile magazine in the last issue. The outline of the shadow should be juvenile

————

After a few casual glances, He Xi was surprised by the readers' comments. There are a lot of people's notes behind. No matter what they say, so many people's comments prove that the comic book is excellent.

Just a word can cause a topic?

"Phoenix has launched a wonderful cartoonist this time."

A voice suddenly sounded, He Xi was startled. She found an old man standing by her side at some time.

"Shop manager, I'm sorry, I'll go to work right away!" He Xi's face turned white. Didn't the store manager go to stock? How could he come back so soon? It would be bad if he thought he was lazy.

The old man laughed: "never mind, I can understand your curiosity."

He was not angry at all. He felt his beard and examined the comments on the wall. He continued: "last week, I read weekly magazine, and I wondered how they could use shadow to promote the new series. Today I understand that they are pretending to be suspense and packaging new people."

"Ha?"

He Xi was a little embarrassed. She felt that she should go to work, but she felt that the store manager seemed to be talking to her. Would it make him unhappy to leave.

"You're too young to see it." The old man took a look at He Xi and said with a smile, "I saw today's cartoon. Its drawing skills and content are excellent, and the last picture shows the author's amazing talent. Maybe last week's "weekly youth" propaganda with shadow is a proof of that talent. As long as more and more people pay attention to it, the identity of the author will be noticeable

"When everyone is guessing who the author is, the media will hype. Comic writers and Phoenix company can complete the publicity without spending money... What a powerful means!"

Of course, that's true. However, as long as the cartoon is not popular, Phoenix company will waste its time.

He Xi is more and more curious about the comic writer: "I heard that the author is a teenager. Do you believe it, store manager?"

The old man laughed.

"If you don't write this sentence, I won't believe it." He laughed and shook his head: "but they made it clear that no one can never show up, that author will be exposed sooner or later, lying is tantamount to self destruction of credibility... Will they be so stupid?"

He Xi opened her mouth wide: "is that really a young man?"

"Teenager" in China refers to a child between the ages of twelve and seventeen or eighteen. Although it is not clear how much money a cartoonist can earn, He Xi knows that she can't earn a week's contribution from the other party in a month.

"Why take He Xi as a pseudonym?"

She tooted toot mouth, the same name, similar age, that guy didn't deliberately hit himself! However, He Xi's mind was completely attracted by the cartoon. She had to see what kind of detective cartoon it was to make people praise it.

At noon, he Qian took advantage of the break time to pick up a "weekly youth", can't wait to see.

The rest of the weekly was as dull as ever, but after finding the number of pages, a colorful figure appeared.

Under the big title of Detective Conan is a cute little boy with a hat and a smile.

"Is he the hero? It's lovely! "

He Qian thought in her heart, turned a few pages and suddenly found that it was wrong. The hero was a handsome high school detective. The detective is not only handsome and smart, but also very good at playing football. He is a prince charming. Then the heroine is also very special, a punch can break through the wall, good violence.

The setting of this cartoon is very good. In just a few eyes, she fell in love with the hero and heroine. She was fascinated to see it. The scene of the hero solving a case is too classic. Even if she never read detective stories, she can read it well.

It's just that the development after solving the case seems a little strange. He Xi looks at it with doubts and soon sees the last page.

"Why?" Her eyes widened, and on the last page there was a picture of a child with the same big eyes.

"How beautiful He Xi has never seen such a beautiful cartoon. The boundless aura and charm poured out by the author's pen is just like an art painting.For a moment, she couldn't help but wonder if any traditional painter was marching into the comic world.

She shook her head, frowned and went over the contents again.

"How can there be a child..."

He Xigang just flipped too fast and didn't know how to get out of the final scene. After looking at it again, she found that it was the man who had been given the mysterious potion and became smaller. What is that medicine? Who are the two men in black?

Besides, the man's body has become a child. How can he be with the woman!

"It's gone at the critical moment." He Xi grits her teeth. Which guy wrote such a funny story? It's a devil to make the reader's mind so thorough in a short sentence.

After working in the cartoon District, He Xi has not seen such an excellent cartoon for a long time.

"Ah, I have to wait seven days for the next word. Why is it a weekly?"

In the same situation, with the sale of "weekly youth", a rush buying wave started in bookstores all over the country
