Chapter 21

"How about online serialization?"

Meng Huo and Alice discussed the countermeasures and came up with an idea: "the famous detective Conan will be serialized on the Internet, and readers can see it even if they don't buy magazines. Isn't it good for promotion?"

Magazines are limited to readers, and the Internet does not have this problem.

Meng Huo thought that this was a good way, but she was rejected by Alice.

"Impossible, online serialization does more harm than good, and best-selling comics are not allowed to be serialized online."

She explained to Meng Huo that all publishing companies in Huaxia would not put their works on the Internet to weaken their value. Online serialization needs readers' stickiness, and it's hard for comics to gather stickiness.

In this world, copyright protection is serious, people's culture and entertainment are full, and offline books are the most popular.

Meng Huo is wrong about one thing. The popularity of the Internet in his last life makes him take it for granted, but that is the abnormal market. Limited life and entertainment, poor publishing and distribution of novels, and different consumption concepts, people will be hot on online serial, creating a false prosperity.

But that prosperity has never appeared in other developed countries in the same world. What will happen to the world?

There are many bookstores, comics and novels. People can buy books they like at any time. Why do they like online novels? According to Alice, "you can't hold money in your hand, you can only look at the screen. What's the value of such a thing?"

This idea represents the vast majority of people, especially comic books that can be collected.

Of course, there are also online serials. Its development history is longer than that of the previous life, and its quality is higher, but it will not be too prosperous. Many new novelists start from online serialization, and are discovered by publishing companies after becoming famous, and then embark on the road of professional novelists.

Meng Huo chose a right direction. If he came out of the novel, he may still be fluttering. Moreover, ye Xiong also denied the idea of online serialization on the phone. Instead of being popular, it will affect the sales of magazines and booklets. In the long run, it will definitely do more harm than good.

Of course, he also explained that it is not impossible to publish online. After some comics are finished, there will be a special online version, but it will have to wait until offline interests are saturated. As long as the publisher can make money, the possibility of publishing such popular cartoons as Detective Conan is very low.

Meng Huo was discouraged by this, so he had to think of another way.

9 On February 2, the first middle school of Ninghai begins.

Summer has just passed, the heat of the sun has not yet subsided, the students in blue and white uniforms in the square after listening to the speech, sweat back to the teaching building.

"Pa!"

A hand on Meng Huo's shoulder, he looked back, Shen Jie's smiling face in the middle of many green faces, blooming like a flower: "Meng Huo, finally found you!"

"Long time no see."

Meng Huo smiles a little. He finds that Shen Jie has two girls with him. He is surprised and says, "you are worthy of it. Have you made friends so soon?"

"They are my roommates, this is Han Xuan, and she is Li Yu!" Shen Jie introduces Meng Huo to the two girls around him. Meng Huo greets them, but he doesn't care much.

After taking the book, he was ready to leave. He didn't see his classmates several times a year, so he didn't have to remember.

"How about you, why don't you see your roommate?" Shen Jie looked at Meng Huo and said, "you are too lonely, aren't you?"

"I don't stay. I rent here." Meng Huo said with a smile. He then asked, "I'm in class 10. Do you seem different from me?"

"Yes."

Shen Jie was surprised that Meng Huo didn't have any accommodation. She replied, "I'm in class one. I don't know why the school separated us."

Class one is a key class, and class ten is an ordinary class. According to common sense, if they all have good grades and come from the same place, Meng Huo should be able to get into the first class. But don't forget that he is a special student who is not allowed to go to school. It is easy to cause controversy if he is divided into key classes.

Meng Huo understood this, so he didn't care much.

He is very happy to see that Shen Jie has found a friend so soon, and from the standpoint and manner, she is still the center of the three, the other two girls are more shy.

Meng Huo is not worried about the situation of his fellow countryman.

He talked with Shen Jie for a few words, then he got the textbook in the classroom and went home.

On the way, he bought a translated version of Sherlock. He knew his enemy and friend well, but Meng Huo wanted to see how good the novel was.

He spent the whole afternoon reading the novel. The plot of detective Shylock is amazing to Meng Huo. The story tells the story of a young detective's case solving process. A series of cases are full of suspense. The protagonist is perfect. He is proficient in literature, philosophy, medicine, music, sword and so on!He solved the impossible riddles again and again, and his wisdom was shocking.

After reading this novel, even Meng Huo has an impulse to collect it. If we look at the criminal techniques and reasoning process, "detective Shylock" has been in an invincible position.

However, it also has disadvantages.

One is the Western background, which is so old that young people may not like it. The second is that the protagonist is too perfect. He looks like a robot, a computer, and doesn't look at any women. This is just the opposite of Detective Conan.

"Detective Shylock" takes reasoning as the first element, and there is no description of life and emotion. These are the advantages of "Detective Conan".

However, the gap between the two is still very big, how to narrow the gap?

The method of online serialization has been blocked, and enterprise propaganda and operation can not be involved. Meng Huo can only start from the content of Detective Conan. His first thought is to add an interesting new case in the booklet.

But even if the case is interesting, he is not sure that he has won Sherlock. Maybe he should start from other aspects, such as relying on the air mass in his head?

Meng Huo didn't pay attention to it for a while. He paid attention to it again and found that the air mass increased a lot.

It's really recovering. Now it's barely enough for a picture, but what can a picture do?

Meng Huo has come up with a way. He is not sure that this way can make Detective Conan's monograph surpass detective Shylock, but it can definitely improve sales!

He took out his cell phone and called Alice.

"Has the booklet been sent to the press?"

"Not yet. It's on sale next week." Alice, sitting in the editorial office, said, "I'm very busy now. I'm working on the final confirmation of the ninth sentence, which has to be sent to the publishing house in the evening."

"Wait, don't send it." Meng Huo quickly stopped and said, "I want to draw the ninth sentence again. Please ask editor in chief ye to see if he can delay the release of weekly youth."

"I want to join a new character!"
