On Wednesday, March 11, there were long queues in various bookstores that were released in Ninghai City, which were released in Weekly Girls.

Wang Jian hasn't seen such a scene for a long time. He is a reporter from the East China News Agency. He has previously reported on the scene when "Weekly Boy" was released. His popularity at that time still makes him remember it vividly.

However, with the emergence of Zhongxia, Phoenix's comic magazines are no longer as popular as before. They usually read more readers in bookstore newsstands and newspapers than in two weekly comic magazines.

There are two factors in this. One is the mass production of Zhongxia Comics. Relying on a large scale, it launched a daily magazine sales model. Although this model is fake, the daily magazines on Tuesday and the daily magazines on Monday are different, and they are essentially weekly magazines. But no matter what, new magazines come out every day, which is a very pleasant thing for readers.

In comparison, Phoenix Company is naturally behind only two days a week when it is released. In addition, the quality of "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" is uneven, which is not as good as the overall quality of "Midsummer Daily".

Under these two factors, the press generally believes that Phoenix Company gave Ninghai, the comic base camp, to Zhongxia Company, was a destined development result, so it reduced its attention to Phoenix.

However, Wang Jian always had an idea in his mind. He felt that Phoenix Company would be defeated by Zhongxia Comics step by step. One of the important reasons is that He Xi did not launch a new work.

He Xi serialized a work in "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl", and as time goes by, the freshness of readers has disappeared. Therefore, the Zhongxia comics have been released, so such a big change has occurred.

This kind of idea. Today's hot scene is the best proof...

"Lying in the bottom of the groove, so many beauties!"

The person who made the amazement was Wang Jian’s partner He Jin. He was a photographer. He was excited to shoot the hot scenes of the bookstore with his camera: "When the Zhongsummer magazine was first released, it seemed that it was not so spectacular!"

Wang Jian nodded. The lively scene in the first week of the launch of the China Summer Daily was less than half of today. The bookstore in front of them had two floors, and the team in the comics area upstairs had already reached the first floor. Moreover, the team was full of young girls, looking like a country of daughters.

"I feel embarrassed to even interview so many women." Wang Jian smiled bitterly, but He Jin was different, his eyes glowing brightly: "What are you afraid of? We are reporters. When we interviewed in the past, they wouldn't say anything."

He was a little ready to move.

“That’s right…”

Wang Jian sorted out his expression and walked towards the bookstore.

"Give it, let it go!"

But before they walked in, a young man ran out of the bookstore. He was panting, his face flushed, and he was holding a magazine in his arms. Wang Jian noticed that it was "Weekly Girl".

"Wait, He Jin." He reached out and grabbed his partner who wanted to approach the 'Daughter Country', and then walked towards the young man: "Hello sir? We are reporters from the East China News Agency. Can you accept our interview?"

Wang Jian smelled the perfume smell on the man's body, which was the perfume smell of the women queuing in the bookstore. It seemed that this man was full of happiness.

"reporter?"

The man was startled and panicked: "Don't interview me, I won't accept interviews. There were not many people when I entered the bookstore. Who knew that so many women would appear behind me? This was an accident - I don't mean anything to be naughty!"

He misunderstood that the reporter wanted to interview him in the women's group, and Wang Jian smiled: "Don't worry, we are not interviewing this, we just want to ask this magazine..."

Wang Jian pointed to the "Weekly Girl" in the man's hand.

The man was stunned for a moment, then wiped his sweat: "Oh, it turns out you are investigating the situation of Teacher He Xi's new work, so I'll say it earlier..."

His expression became much brighter, and his professional sensitivity made Wang Jian know that this was a reader who could accept interviews and answers. He found a good partner today.

"Sir, "Weekly Boy" will be released tomorrow, why would you buy the magazine "Weekly Girl" today?"

Wang Jian picked up the paper and pen and prepared to record.

"I am a fan of Mr. He Xi. I have been looking forward to his new work for a long time. Today is a girl comic, but I still don't want to miss it." The man touched his head and smiled: "And haven't we cut a lot of comics this week? "Weekly Girl" costs 12 yuan, which is too cheap, so there is no pressure to buy one."

“Yeah, indeed.”

Wang Jian nodded while writing. Phoenix Company made an unprecedented large-scale halving this week. Although it caused some readers to be dissatisfied, in the past, the price reduction of a magazine could be bought by two magazines, and the price reduction was also favored by other readers.

"Is there any other reason?"

Wang Jian continued to ask.

"Also? And Teacher He Xi's girl comics are also very good! Last time in "Inuyasha", my colleagues and I regarded it as a boy comic." The man laughed: "We think this girl comics must be the same as last time, so today I went to work... Several colleagues helped me do my job and I drove them out to buy magazines."

"Ah, by the way." The man turned to He Jin who was preparing to take photos and said, "Don't take photos. My boss is not here today. If you put me on the newspaper, he will scold me to death tomorrow!"

"good."

He Jin put down the camera. He took so many photos in a day, but few people could report it in the end, so it was the same for the man to take it or not. Today's main interview is girls, and of course, he will put the beautiful girls in the newspaper tomorrow.

"You don't have to worry. We rarely publish people who are unwilling to report. Even if we want to put you on, we will pretend that others can't see you..."

Wang Jian felt that it was also a very interesting publicity for a man with a mosaic on his face in the newspaper, but he really couldn't say it out, so he had to continue asking: "Are you satisfied with Mr. He Xi's new comic? Is it the same as the "Inuyasha" type?"

"No, different..."

The man shook his head and looked a little disappointed: "The new comic is a typical girl comic. I originally wanted to buy a few books to go back, but now I can just take one to go back and hand in the office."

"Typical girl comic?"

Wang Jian quickly recorded it, and he was surprised. No wonder he could not see male readers in the bookstore. It turned out that He Xi's new comic was a typical girl comic. He was surprised, why did He Xi give up his previous style of killing both men and women?

After the interview, Wang Jian and He Jin walked into the bookstore. This time their goal was very clear. They interviewed different types of female readers, and the answers they received were surprisingly similar.

The female readers who had read the samples praised He Xi's new work very well. The girls who had not seen the samples were also very excited. They knew from other channels that He Xi had published a girl comic, so they ran over excitedly.

"Teacher He Xi has always been biased towards male readers. Even a girl comic like "Five Centimeters in Seconds" uses the perspective of the male protagonist. Although they are great, I have always been looking forward to him writing a comic suitable for girls!"

"But this "Yinglan College Male Public Relations Department" is very good. I think it's better than Qin Ya's "Star".

"This is an orthodox girl comic, I like it very much, which proves that Teacher He Xi is willing to listen to everyone's voices. But after reading it, I found that Teacher He Xi is really good at everything and can draw anything well! I hope he can draw more types of comics and not limit himself."

Wang Jian also saw some home-based women who came to buy "Weekly Girls" and the answers were very interesting.

"I like idol love dramas. After watching the first episode of "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College", I felt like I was telling the story of Cinderella becoming a princess... Although it was a bit tacky, no girl did not have such a dream. I like this comic very much."

"This is what my daughter asked me to buy, but after looking at the sample, I think I can watch it with my daughter. The handsome guy inside is pleasing to the eye... Why are you laughing at? No one stipulates that middle-aged women can't look at handsome guys, right?"

"I think that child He Xi will soon become a topic of square dance and mahjong hall..."

After the investigation, Wang Jian basically confirmed the effect of He Xixin comics: this is a work that makes women crazy and men don’t like…

This result disappointed him a little. He felt that He Xi had taken the path of adapting to the market, but in the end, Wang Jian had an unexpected surprise when interviewing the bookstore owner.

"I am very satisfied with Teacher He Xi's new work, which is the article "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College."

The middle-aged male store manager smiled and replied: "When Teacher He Xi launched "Inuyasha", our bookstore sales were also very popular, but there were too many male customers, which was a big problem."

"Weekly Girls and Weekly Boys were originally magazines with completely different reader groups. I think if Teacher He Xi continued to launch a man-to-women comic in Weekly Girls, then it might be confused and even homogenized with the positioning of Weekly Boys. I think that's very dangerous."

"Maybe it doesn't matter to Teacher He Xi, but as a professional comic company, Phoenix Company must have a clear positioning to cultivate a reader group in its magazine classification, which is also beneficial to promoting the development of comics. If it is confused, cartoonists will not be able to write niche works, and everyone will write neutral comics."

The bookstore manager's answer made Wang Jian understand in his heart. It turned out that He Xi was repositioning the two magazines of Phoenix Company. He could be both male and female, but other cartoonists did not have this ability.

"In this case, is Teacher He Xi tying his own hands and feet?"

Wang Jian always believed that this was not a good thing, especially for He Xi.

"I don't think it's..." But the bookstore manager didn't think so. He shook his head and smiled: "Teacher He Xi was confident to do this. If he had to worry about readers on both sides of the man and woman in the past and maximize the readers of a comic, then he might have confidence now."
