Chapter 244: The Most Successful Comic
"goodbye."
In Wanhu City, after more than ten minutes of queueing, Zhang Guo and his daughter waved their hands to bid farewell to several high school students in Qingcheng County.
"Run quickly, I'll be scolded by Lao Lin later!"
"What's the hurry? If we buy his "Savory", he will turn a blind eye!"
Several high school students left with laughter. Seeing their backs as they were leaving, Zhang Guo couldn't help but sigh: "Young people are so nice!"
"Hey, do you buy it or not!"
The person behind patted Zhang Guo on the shoulder. He turned around and said embarrassedly, then turned to look at a stack of magazines in front. The magazines were very thick, thicker than "Weekly Boutiques", and looked very conscientious.
"Do you want to buy it?"
Because he was wrapped in the film, Zhang Guo could not see the content inside. He was a little hesitant. There were samples for trial reading on the other side of the bookstore, but it took longer to queue than to buy a magazine, so he did not walk over.
"Teacher He Xi's new magazine has only one comic." The bookstore owner looked at Zhang Guo, knew his hesitation, and said: "You can treat it as a single book. The price of forty is very cost-effective."
"forty!"
Zhang Guo was shocked. This was even more expensive than "Weekly Boy".
"Don't hesitate, it's just forty dollars? I tell you, it's definitely worth buying!" The person standing behind him urged: "I asked the people I've read just now. It's a very interesting and passionate comic."
"Dad, buy it!" The girl shook Zhang Guo's hand, he pinched her nose, and laughed: "Okay, I'll buy it."
That's right. It's just a few dozen dollars, so there's no need to hesitate. Zhang Guo bought the magazine and then took his daughter back home.
"Dad, I want to read the book, read it to me!"
The daughter ran to the sofa with "Xi" excitedly. He tore off the protective film on the written one, but she could understand the picture but didn't read much, so she needed Zhang Guo's help to read it.
"Okay, okay, I'll read it!"
Zhang Guo poured a cup of tea, sat on the sofa and took a sip, then picked up his daughter and placed the magazine on the table.
"The cover is not bad" - he glanced at the cover of "Xi" manga and secretly pointed it out. The cover was well made, very exquisite, and a waterproof cover. When he opened the pages, the quality of the paper was also very good. It was a good deal for buying this magazine for 40 yuan, at least from the book itself.
This is why Zhang Guohui came into contact with comics. Whether it is Phoenix or Zhongxia, their comics will not be cheap. It is very reassuring for readers. Moreover, placing beautiful comics on the bookshelf is also a pleasing enjoyment and has great collection value.
He Xi's comics have always been known for their beautiful styles, but unfortunately, this time "One Piece" did not bring Zhang Guo the feeling of surprise. The character image of "One Piece" cannot be considered handsome and beautiful, at least it is different from the mainstream style now. The straw hat boy on the poster does not meet the definition of a handsome guy.
This is one of the reasons why Zhang Guo didn't report hope at the beginning. He felt that He Xi's work was not as good as his previous works in terms of content and style.
However, when he read lines for his daughter and flipped through the comics, he began to feel surprised. As the reading time continued, he began to think that this style was very good - the story of "One Piece" requires this style.
"Hehe... Dad, this brother's hands have become so long..."
"Dad, what is rubber?"
My daughter kept looking at the comics with her eyes lit up, and was amused by the characters and content inside, and asked questions from time to time. Zhang Guo answered her questions while reading them, and she couldn't help laughing several times.
This comic is really interesting. The characters in it are a bit exaggerated. They always fall to the ground with their chin. They are not used to it at first, but after reading it for a few episodes, they gradually get into a state. Zhang Guo can also understand why He Xi chose this style.
The plot presented by this somewhat exaggerated painting method is extremely fun, and both the father and daughter are very happy to watch.
Zhang Guo explained some plots in the comics to his daughter, and he gradually became addicted to it. The story of this pirate is different from the pirates he imagined. They have feelings and loyalty, but they are like some heroes. Moreover, the story takes place in a fantasy world, which makes Zhang Guo feel very strange.
"What awesome, a story of dreams and friendship..."
After reading the first few episodes, Zhang Guo discovered that Huamei did not make any false propaganda. "One Piece" is really a story about dreams and friendship. The protagonist's name is Luffy. He has a straightforward personality, full of courage, positive and optimistic, and is a typical passionate male protagonist.
When he was a child, Luffy was saved from the sea by a big pirate's left arm and got the straw hat given by the pirate. From then on, he dreamed of becoming One Piece. When he grew up, he went out to sea to find companions who could form the pirate group together.
"Adventure Story." Zhang Guo praised it in his heart. This is a comic that focuses on adventure and friendship. The story includes battles and smiles, and some touching aspects. After reading the eleven chapters, he was still unsatisfied.
"So refreshing!"
This is a man's comic. In Zhang Guo's impression, such a wonderful adventure comic has never appeared. Especially the battle in "One Piece", which is full of explosive and passionate passion, which makes people feel satisfied.
I didn't think the style was like this, but after reading this comic, Zhang Guo thought about the battles in other comics, but it was a bit boring.
"It turns out that this is also a superb painting skill..."
He understood that comics do not have to be painted as beautiful as picturesque. Similarly, they are painted with immersive passion, which is also a super high painting skill.
After reading the content of eleven chapters, Zhang Guo felt like he was raining in the desert, which was so refreshing! He suddenly remembered "Weekly Premium" and couldn't help but smile.
"Teacher He Xi is really a bad thing..."
Three of the comics in "Weekly Premium" are combat comics, and if the battle scenes of those three are compared with "One Piece", it would be terrible!
This makes Zhang Guo suspect that Mr. He Xi did this on purpose. He released this book "Xi" on Friday. How many people will buy the "Weekly Premium" released on Saturday? Although "Son of the Detective" is wonderful, it is just a niche work and needs to be set off by several other comics.
And "One Piece" is a popular work.
This is what Zhang Guo was most shocked. In He Xi's writing, the niche pirate instantly became a new profession with dreams and bonds, full of adventure and passion, and it is also a fictional worldview, suitable for public acceptance.
Men can find the passion of fighting in "One Piece", women can find touching plots from it, and even children can be amused by the characters above. Although there are only eleven episodes, Zhang Guo feels that this is the most successful comic that He Xi has ever drawn so far.
"It seems that there is no highlight, but it is actually the most acceptable to the public..."
Zhang Guo shook his head. Teacher He Xi was indeed a monster. Whoever went against him would be unlucky. Li Xin's "Son of the Detective" was in big trouble this time.
"Dad, Dad!"
At this time, Zhang Guo’s daughter shook his hand: “What’s behind, what’s behind the story!”
The girl raised her head in her arms and asked with her eyes wide open: "That big villain named Bucky, he can be divided. How can Brother Luffy defeat him?"
"This... dad doesn't know either." Zhang Guo mocked his daughter's head and replied with a wry smile: "I'll tell you next week."
He didn't expect that his young daughter had finished reading this comic. She was not so patient at ordinary times. Zhang Guo also wanted to know the subsequent plot development, but the comic ended in episode 11, and he could only wait for the next week. He could only wait for a week.
However, after closing the magazine, Zhang Guo was stunned by his eyes widening. He saw a sign in the upper left corner of the cover that he had not cared about before.
It was a phoenix mark, which was a unique label for Phoenix Company. There was a burning little phoenix on "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" with the word "Zhou" written in it, which means weekly magazines.
However, in this book "Savory" comic, the words in the little phoenix label are...
"Monthly?...Monthly!!"
It turned out to be the word "moon", which is obvious, which means that "Xi" Man is a monthly magazine.
Chapter completed!
