Chapter 25

"The sales volume of the magazine will not decrease if the sale is delayed. The sales volume of the magazine is successful in major bookstores!"

"Detective Conan has a new role, and the disillusionment of the protagonist's myth has caused a lot of dissatisfaction!"

"Gorgeous, exquisite and shocking, he Xifeng shows his heart and vows to fight detective Shylock with the most handsome thief!"

Several newspapers were placed on Alice's desk. Without looking at the contents, Alice knew that Meng had succeeded.

The impact of the delayed sale is far less than the sensation caused by this issue of Detective Conan. The whole Ninghai city has set off a rush to buy books. Some booksellers even increase their prices privately, but they still sell them all in one day.

The editors of the editorial department congratulated Alice enviously, and even Sun Yang asked her to hand over a letter from tomato teacher.

This letter is not encrypted, and Alice can see the content. Teacher tomato praises the new plot of Detective Conan and says that he is a new fan of Teacher He Xi, hoping that he can beat detective Shylock.

Who is tomato teacher?

When Alice took over Meng Huo, ye Xiong mentioned this old cartoonist in particular. It is said that he had a great prejudice against Meng Huo. Ye Xiong asked Alice not to influence Meng Huo. However, it's only how long ago, teacher tomato has become a fan of Meng Huo!

Meng Huo is using comics to gain recognition from others, which makes Alice feel a full sense of pride.

But just when the whole editorial department was excited, editor in chief Ye Xiong was sitting on his desk and frowning.

"Editor in chief, are you not satisfied with the sales of this issue?"

Alice asked strangely.

"No, no problem with sales." Ye Xiong shook his head, looked up and said, "I'm just thinking about Mr. Meng... Is it appropriate for Mr. He Xi to play Kidd? His charm is too big to take the lead."

He originally wanted to say Meng Huo, and then changed his words. Now the editorial department uses a pseudonym to address Meng Huo, which can prevent the risk of leakage.

"I don't think you need to worry about that."

Alice said with a smile: "I talked with Mr. He Xi. He didn't plan to put Kidd in the main line. Kidd's positioning is a special role that occasionally appears. His greatest charm is mystery. Mr. He Xi won't destroy this sense of mystery."

Keep mysterious and produce a special aesthetic feeling, the original robber Kidd is such a role. He's haunted, with an unattainable style. Readers don't know who he is, what he looks like, where he comes from and where he goes, so they expect him to come on the stage again.

In short, Kidd has little influence on Detective Conan, but it will have a great influence on readers.

"If the chief editor is not at ease, I'll go to get the manuscript of the collection from teacher He Xi's home in a moment. Then I can see Kidd's position." Alice continued.

Ye Xiong nodded: "this is good."

"By the way, you help me remind teacher He Xi of one thing."

……

"Don't paint too beautifully?"

At noon, Meng Huo received a message from Alice. He couldn't help wondering if ye Xiong's head was cute.

Other cartoonists want to make their works more beautiful. Ye Xiong is very good. On the contrary, he wants Meng Huo to draw too beautiful!

"That's not what you think."

Alice laughs bitterly and explains that ye Xiong's meaning is to let Meng Huo keep the usual cartoon fragments, and not to draw the cartoon that exceeds the specification, that is, the last one of the first words, the propaganda poster and the strange thief Kidd this time.

"Why?"

Meng Huo was a little unhappy: "those pictures were drawn by me with difficulty. Isn't the effect good?"

He has a feeling that his efforts have been denied.

"It's not bad, it's great."

Alice shook her head. She took out some reports from her satchel and spread them on the table. "You see, that's part of the reader survey over the past few months."

Meng Huo picked up the report curiously, and Alice continued.

"In the survey of how readers like detective Conan, we find a strange thing. More than 50% of the readers are attracted by the picture of the first sentence."

"They see that picture from magazines, Internet and friends, so they are interested in buying magazines. It's undeniable that detective Conan is of high quality to keep them, but without that picture, the number of readers of this cartoon will be greatly reduced at the beginning, and it may take a long time for it to become popular. "

"Are you exaggerating?""No, original comics are less popular than you think."

Alice's expression is light. If a market is gloomy, it will take time to precipitate and ferment even if there are high-quality works. This law has been broken by Meng Huo.

"Not only that, we have conducted a survey on your posters, and the results are surprising. Many people who have not seen" Detective Conan "intend to buy a pamphlet because the posters are so beautiful that they are willing to spend money to collect them."

"And yesterday's weekly youth, you show that talent for the third time."

Alice paused and said with a smile, "guess what happened?"

"What?"

"Three hours." Alice put out three fingers and said with a smile, "we printed more than 300000 copies in advance. However, in only three hours, Ninghai's stock was sold out in a week."

"To tell you one thing, the most popular magazines, publishers and bookstores will keep some for sale in the next few days, so you can go to block the door in the early morning of the next day and have a chance to buy it."

However, as soon as Kidd came out, the whole Ninghai was boiling. Those senior readers would rather spend more money than force out the stock of the bookstore. The bookstore owners secretly sold the magazine at a high price, and now they are pressing the publishing house to print more.

When it comes to the reason, of course, it's because of Kidd's charm, but how can Kidd's charm come out?

Mysterious, gorgeous, all these are not the root, the root should be the amazing picture on the cover, which shapes the reader's first impression of Kidd. And this impression through the improvement of the plot, will show Kidd's charm incisively and vividly.

“……”

Meng Huo read the report and thought for a moment.

"No! According to you, it's a good thing. Why don't you let me draw? "

"The editor in chief's meaning is not to let you never draw, but to choose carefully." Alice said with a smile, "we're afraid that readers will get used to it if they read too much. You can't spoil them. The less the pictures, the better. It's good to see them at the critical moment."

"You're going to turn it into something like a magic weapon."

Meng Huo finally understood her explanation. However, the original flash rarely appeared, even if he wanted to draw more.

What's ye xiongbai thinking about? Isn't the most important thing now in the booklet
