Chapter 20

Alice goes to work by subway as usual.

There is a poster of "Detective Conan" in the subway car of Ninghai city. You can hear passengers talking about it every time.

This makes Alice feel proud. When she was an agent, she was tired of hearing people talking about stars, but now as an editor, she is in a good mood when she hears people praising her cartoonist.

But this day, just as Alice walked into the subway, she saw another poster.

"The Bible of the inferential novel, which has influenced the world for 40 years -- the comic book of Sherlock, the detective, will be released on September 10!"

Alice was shocked.

There was also a man and a woman walking into the subway. They also noticed the new poster, in which the man was stunned: "wife, do I have any eyesight? I saw the cartoon news of the masterpiece Sherlock? "

Women look at posters.

"No, let me see. It's the Longteng company that publishes the pamphlet, and the comic writer is mach? What... Handsome Mr. mach? He is my idol

"I'll call my dad. He loves to watch Sherlock. He's seen novels and movies several times!"

The man said and took out his cell phone.

Alice turned pale. She took out her cell phone and called the editorial department in a panic: "editor in chief, something's wrong!"

"I know. The company has an emergency meeting right away." Ye Xiong's voice is urgent: "Alice, you don't use it in the company first. You go to Meng Huo to appease him immediately. Don't let him lose confidence."

"Yes

Alice answered and the phone hung up.

She turned and ran out of the car, regardless of the sound of the alarm behind her, hurried to another line.

Longteng company, Mr. mach, Sherlock, each of the three things shocked her. As the first publishing group, Longteng company does not care. Mr. mach is an idol cartoonist, and Longteng company is one of the best signboards.

This cartoonist is 30 years old and has been on the market for ten years. He has a superb painting style. What's more, he is handsome and has numerous fans. He is known as the most handsome cartoonist in the comic world.

Of course, the most terrible is the book Shylock

Sherlock The detective is a novel published by British novelist Anthony in 1974. It is known as the Bible of inferential novels and the crown of wisdom. Its influence has spread all over the world and has not been diminished in 40 years.

Novels, movies, dramas and music have a commercial value of more than 10 billion. Even in China, they are well-known and accompany the growth of a generation.

I didn't expect that Longteng company could get its cartoon copyright!

"Mean..."

Alice scolded secretly, including all editors of Phoenix company with the same idea as her.

The adaptation of comic books from novels can't be completed overnight. Longteng company must have obtained the copyright of "detective Shylock" very early. They didn't disclose it to the outside world, but when the famous detective Conan was selling the booklet, it was obviously aimed at Phoenix company!

Detective craze aroused by Detective Conan will become the best advertisement of detective Shylock. The number of readers of the two is not at the same level, and the outcome is almost certain.

"What is Sherlock..."

At this time, Meng Huo also saw the news from the Internet.

He is not interested in Longteng company and teacher mach, but this book is a literary masterpiece. Meng Huo was suffocated by the information he found on the Internet.

Anthony, the author of detective Shylock, published the novel at the age of 30, and became a hot literary star all over the world. His great influence even made the queen of England grant her aristocratic status.

At the moment of seeing this introduction, a light flashed in Meng Huo's mind - Sherlock Holmes. Isn't this the modern version of Sherlock Holmes? No, it may be more exaggerated than Sherlock Holmes!!

More amazing introduction is still behind. This novel made Anthony win the Nobel Prize for literature. He made the number of reasoning writers more than ten times in 40 years. 90% of Chinese reasoning writers regard "detective Shylock" as an enlightenment work.

Perfect reasoning, the acme of wisdom -- after the author Anthony finished this masterpiece, he proudly declared that there was no reasoning novel in the world that could surpass it. Since then, he left the literary world to engage in politics and almost won the throne of prime minister.

Now that he has abdicated, I didn't expect that Longteng could still get the copyright from him.

Will Detective Conan and detective Shylock be on sale at the same time?"How can we compete?"

Meng Huo was worried. He didn't expect that the first opponent he met was so terrible.

The serial of Detective Conan has been running for two months, and the sales volume and publicity are very good. However, even if it is popular, it can only become a household name in Ninghai City, where the publicity is hot. The number of readers in other areas is estimated to be no more than 3 million.

Moreover, the distribution of the magazine is limited. Not everyone is willing to buy a magazine for a comic series. Fewer readers will actually read it than know it.

As for "detective Shylock", it's really a world-famous work.

"That's too much. Longteng is obviously cracking down on Detective Conan!"

"It's not pressure, it's just time bumping together..."

The chat room of big sister League is also talking about this topic, and the discussion of these female fans is not optimistic.

"Whether it's a crackdown or not, it's going on sale at the same time. The sales must be compared. Who do you think will win?"

"Although I hope Detective Conan, it's nothing like that."

"It's an ordinary cartoon, a literary masterpiece, and it's also written by a handsome teacher, Mr. mach..."

"I like detective Conan very much, but Mr. mach is also my dream * *"

"Yes, I really want to marry him..."

Looking at his fans talking about another cartoonist, Meng Huo was very upset, but he soon realized that it was a man's vanity and gave a wry smile.

"Not mature at all."

How can you be jealous of this kind of thing after living two lives?

However, only when there are obstacles can we have the value of leapfrogging. Meng Huo's fighting spirit surged in his heart. The road has been really smooth all the time, which makes him feel unreal and unclear. At this time, an opponent appeared and told him that the world was not simple.

But how to beat Shylock? No matter from what aspect, "Detective Conan" has no hope of winning, but Meng Huo still wants to do his best.

When Alice arrived, it was Meng Huo who opened the door for her.

"It seems that I don't have to appease..."

Alice laughed bitterly and was shocked at the same time.

Meng Huo seems to be more energetic than usual. Maybe this situation should let him comfort the editors
