Chapter 27: "Sherlock" is released
After Alice took the monster Kidd back to the editorial department, Phoenix held a meeting that night to decide to set the release date of the single-book "Detective Conan" as September 11, which was actually scheduled for the day after "Detective Sherlock".
In fact, choosing this time is a helpless move. Single-books are different from magazines. Meng Huo temporarily changed the original manuscript and was released on the 11th. Moreover, due to the addition of two plots of the Strange Thieves Kidd, the price of single-books has also been increased to 30 yuan.
But when Phoenix Company informed the news, the media in various places were still in an uproar.
"Retreat at the last minute, "Detective Conan" took the initiative to admit defeat."
"Sales showdown turns into a joke, "Detective Conan" is powerless to turn the world around,"
"The original myth is shattered, and the comics industry is still in the monopoly era of novel adaptation."
No matter what newspapers and news, everyone began to criticize "Detective Conan". Everyone knew that a single book released late would be at a disadvantage. "Detective Conan" was originally not as good as "Detective Sherlock". Everyone thought it would be released before the 10th. Only in this way could it threaten the sales of "Detective Sherlock".
However, Phoenix Company set the release date at the 11th, which is a signal of giving up to the outside world.
"It must be giving up!"
Bei Feng, the comic author of "Detective Sherlock", had no doubts. He hugged his new girlfriend in the apartment and laughed: "Did you see it? Baby, Phoenix Company was scared when I saw it, and even gave up on my struggle."
The woman in his arms showed a fascination.
"Teacher Mach, you are so awesome. My sisters all say that Teacher He Xi paints better than you. Now they have nothing to say!"
"That's!"
Bei Feng's nose was almost curled up, and he was proud: "Let me tell you, He Xi might be the pseudonym of a few people together? Others say that he painted beautifully, but who knows if he hired a gunman!"
The weekly boy's release two days ago caused a sensation after the release. Bei Feng also bought a copy and was almost scared to death by the cover.
The picture is too beautiful, but he doesn't believe that someone paints the comics so beautifully. After checking the Internet, he saw many people saying that "He Xi" is the pseudonym used by several people together. Bei Feng firmly believes in this. It is not a strange thing to find gunmen in the comics industry. If the author could really draw so well, why don't he draw them normally?
I only drew three of those pictures in a few months, and it was obvious that I spent money to find a painter.
"So that's a gunman, no wonder."
Bei Feng's girlfriends were in a row: "Those people are so overdoing, they actually bullied you, Teacher Mach."
She used to be a fan of Bei Feng, but she only met her last week and became his girlfriend in a short time. This woman was still immersed in excitement.
"Baby, you don't know that those cartoonists who are not famous and not good-looking now love to hate me." Bei Feng lowered his head and kissed the woman's forehead, then hugged her: "Let's not talk about those losers, do some happy things!"
He walked into the bedroom with the woman in his arms.
Time is coming on the 10th in a blink of an eye.
In the square in front of Qingyuan Book City, the largest book city in Ninghai City, Black Audi stopped.
"Look, Brother Hui, there are so many people!"
Bei Feng looked at the dense crowd in front of Qingyuan Book City and couldn't help but feel excited.
Today is the day when "Detective Sherlock" is released. As a hot comic book that has been hyped by the media, Qingyuan Bookstore specially placed it at the gate, and some beautiful girls in cool clothes are selling it on the spot.
"Mr. Mach, it seems that the sales this time are very good."
The assistant knew very well what to say at this time to make Beifeng happy: "After "Detective Sherlock", the company will hand over the better-selling novel to you to adapt."
Although "Sherlock Detective" is a masterpiece of mystery novels, it is a niche category after all. Only works with passionate and fantasy in young people have a larger readership. Longteng Company has a test plan to hand over "Sherlock Detective" to Bei Feng.
The idol Mach teacher has been popular for ten years and is no longer fresh. Now, some new and more talented geniuses have appeared in Longteng Company. If the sales of "Sherlock" are not good, Beifeng will probably be gradually replaced by his younger generations.
But there should be no need to worry about such a hot scene...
"Haha, Brother Hui, wait, I'll go down and take a look."
Bei Feng put on sunglasses and hat and walked out of the car proudly. As soon as he walked into the scene, his eyes suddenly lit up. A female store clerk’s good-looking sign...
Bei Feng walked over and coughed: "Miss, what are you selling?"
He Qian was so busy that she suddenly heard someone asking questions. When she turned around, she found that she was a guy who couldn't see anyone.
"A gloomy otaku?"
She thought this and felt happy. The best selling target was the otaku. He Qian smiled: "Don't this gentleman know yet? Today is the release date of "Detective Sherlock". The author of the comic is Mach. His comics are the most worth collecting. If you don't buy them, you will suffer a loss!"
Bei Feng was proud as soon as he heard this: Is this female clerk praising herself like this? Is it his fan?
At the same time, Meng Huo also came to the bookstore closest to his home.
The most conspicuous place in the bookstore is "Detective Sherlock". Many people are buying it, and Meng Huo also got one.
He sat down on a bench on the street and opened a single book casually. He had read the translated novel of "Detective Sherlock", so this time he wanted to see how the comic version of this book is of the quality, after all, novels and comics may give people a different feeling.
Seeing this, Meng Huo had to admit that Mach's painting skills were very good.
The characters he painted are very vivid and beautiful, and lifelike. His strength is no different from Meng Huo's usual state. After all, he is an idol cartoonist who has been popular for ten years, and his painting skills even surpass the authors of all other original comics.
Meng Huo was very glad that all the amazing cartoonists adapted novels. If they made original works, maybe he would not be able to make his debut smoothly.
Of course, he didn't know that Mach is also a cartoonist with excellent painting skills in Longteng Company. There are no more than 40 people who can truly reach this level in China, and there are even less people who think about stories among these 40 people.
Meng Huo has no natural enemies in the original comics industry.
"Um?"
As she watched, Meng Huo suddenly realized something was wrong with "Detective Sherlock".
Its style is indeed very good, but it gives him a big difference from the novel, and it does not depict that wonderful and exciting feeling at all.
"Attention too much attention to the characters, rhythm, environment and atmosphere is not reflected."
After reading it, Meng Huo shook his head and closed the comic.
Chapter completed!
