Chapter 10: News

"The sales of "Weekly Boy" have once again exceeded, and hundreds of thousands of copies were printed?"

"This is the fifth week of printing!"

Zhou Qing is the editor-in-chief of the comics of the largest news website in China. When he went to work that day, he frowned and looked at the information in his hand.

Phoenix has not made any big moves recently, but the sales of "Weekly Boy" have increased for five consecutive weeks. He cannot ignore this news subject. He had heard about an original detective comic released by "Weekly Boy" and had good feedback, but Zhou Qing didn't pay attention at the time.

The author of that comic is a newcomer. Zhou Qing originally thought it was just a flash in the pan, but now it seems that he was wrong.

"Who do you remember what the detective comic was called by Weekly Boy?"

Zhou Qing looked up and asked the editors who were writing the article.

"Detective Conan!"

All the editors looked up and answered almost in unison.

Zhou Qing was stunned: "You all know?"

"Of course I know, this original comic is very popular recently."

"My girlfriend and I like to read it very much, but it is difficult to buy "Weekly Boy" and it will be sold out early every time it is released."

It was so popular! Zhou Qing was shocked. The information he was holding showed that Phoenix Company had been printing. If even this would be sold out early in the morning, the charm of this original comic would be beyond imagination.

"Why didn't you tell me this news earlier!"

Zhou Qing was a little unhappy. Such a good news topic was left behind by himself for several weeks.

"Editor-in-Chief, didn't you say that original comics' news has no value?"

Other editors are a bit innocent. This editor has never despised original comics, and some people have suggested it before and did not take it seriously.

Zhou Qing blushed and slapped the table in anger: "This is not the case. There was no such a great original comic before! Okay, don't talk nonsense, write me quickly. Before noon today, everyone handed in a press release of "Detective Conan". The content is eye-catching, I want to choose one to publish it!"

"Ah, everyone!"

"The editor-in-chief doesn't want it..."

"If you don't write, you will be deducted for salary. If you choose, you will get 600 more!"

Zhou Qing snorted coldly, and no one immediately objected. It was quite attractive to add a salary of 600 for a news report.

———

Liu De was an executive of a company. That evening, he drove back home.

"Tiantian, dad is back!" He took off his coat and took out a thick magazine from his bag and shouted: "Dad bought you "Weekly Boy" and you can see who the prisoner is in this issue!"

He had a smile on his face, as if he had seen his daughter running out of the room.

Liu De is usually very busy and rarely communicates with his daughter, but this situation has changed a lot in the past few weeks.

My daughter likes comics, and my wife recommended "Detective Conan" to him. This comic is relaxed and interesting. Although it is a detective comic, it does not have bloody scenes. Liu De and his daughter like it very much. He discusses the plot with his daughter every week, and the relationship has been much closer.

However, it is strange today, my daughter has not come out.

"What's wrong with Tiantian?"

Liu De asked his wife while cooking.

"She is playing with computers in the study. You can tell if you go over and take a look." The wife smiled.

Liu De picked up the "Weekly Boy" and walked into the study. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his pink baby girl wearing headsets and shouting at the computer: "Bad guys, bad guys, you are all bad guys!"

He felt nervous. Could anyone bully his daughter?

He hurriedly ran to his daughter, Liu De picked her up and opened the headset line. Suddenly, a fierce quarrel came out.

"Did you hear that, you guys are so angry about their children!"

"You are unreasonable, facts are facts. How could the author of "Detective Conan" be alone!"

"Who is unreasonable? You guys who are you, Yan Yiyan, are obviously jealous of He Xi's talent!"

"Hey, don't substitute all the boys, I still believe in the author."

The voices of a group of people were both noisy and chaotic, and Liu De quickly pressed the mute button.

He took the headset for his daughter: "What happened?"

"Dad!" the little girl pouted and was indignant: "They said that Brother He Xi was a liar, and "Detective Conan" was a comic drawn by three people!"

Liu De almost laughed. The family had their own love for "Detective Conan". He and his wife liked the male and female protagonists. However, their young daughter was obsessed with the author like a star chasing star: "Tiantian, why do they say there are three authors?"

The girl raised her eyebrows and pointed to the computer: "Look."

Liu De looked at the computer. In addition to a yy voice chat room, there was also an open web page on the screen. It was Huaxia News Network, and a red title was extremely eye-catching.

"The Savior of Original Comics - or a hypocritical scam?"

Liu De opened the news and read it curiously.

"A young man who has never won an award, has not published a short comic, has launched a new series, and has set a sales miracle for five consecutive weeks. Do you believe it?"

"This comic shows a lot of social content, and even experienced old scholars find it difficult to find out the loopholes..."

"After expert review, the author of the young man's picture in the first episode must be a Chinese painter..."

"...Is there anyone in the China Detective Association who can draw cartoons? As far as the editor knows, there is no such thing..."

"Finally, the editor believes that the author of "Detective Conan" should be three people. This comic is actually a huge scam carefully prepared by Phoenix Company..."

This is a news article that looks rigorous and is actually full of all kinds of malicious speculations. The news editor deliberately misleads readers and writes his own guesses well, and draws a conclusion that is easy to believe--the author of "Detective Conan" is three people, a Chinese painter, a professional cartoonist, and a detective novel author!

Liu De shook his head, he didn't believe that Phoenix Company would do such a thing.

But he was also surprised that there were 100,000 replies in this news and more than 5,000 reposts - this is simply unimaginable. If you want to say that this news is good? The content of other news is not bad at all, why does it have so many replies?

To explore the reasons, we can only think about the comics themselves.

"Detective Conan" is very popular, it is more popular than others imagined. This comic has cultivated a huge readership in just a few weeks, and only in this way can such a news cause a sensation.

Liu De seemed to smell the breath of a storm. This news is like an introduction. When media people noticed its amazing number of replies, more news would spring up like mushrooms after a rain - and then let the young author...

"Become famous in the world in one fell swoop!"

Liu De sighed, as the saying goes, "Be famous as soon as possible, and become famous in a young age. What an enviable thing!
