Chapter 431: Girls Comics
The news that He Xi was about to launch a new work was leaked from the He Xi Home Forum. After the news was leaked, it immediately attracted strong attention from the forum members, but the reporters were half-believing and half-doubting.
"Am I dazzled... Teacher He Xi has a new work?"
"The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is in full swing in proportion to "Flame Boy", how can He Xi have time to launch a new work!"
At the beginning, almost every reporter did not believe that He Xi would launch a new work at such a critical moment. Phoenix and Zhongxia Company had just entered the peak of competition. How could He Xi be possible? How could he have time to launch a new work?
However, this idea was quickly broken. On the night of the leak, Phoenix Company officially published the news on its official website. The news said that He Xi would launch a new work, but did not say whether the new work was an animation, a comic or a game.
But no matter what it is, reporters from all over the country were in agitation.
"Teacher He Xi is really going to release a new work? He is simply a monster! He didn't take "Flame Boy" seriously at such a critical moment!"
"The Zhongxia company is in a tragedy. They worked hard to launch "Flame Boy" to grab the eye, but Teacher He Xi took the double attack! As soon as the new work was released... Where did Zhongxia company get the resources to fight against Teacher He Xi in the two works? I think Zhongxia company will still be suppressed and beaten by Phoenix Company in the second half of the year!"
Zhongxia company was also very nervous, and Ding Yanghua never dreamed that He Xi would suddenly make this move.
"How could he release two works! How could it be possible!"
He was full of anxiety. He Xi's second work brought him a greater sense of threat than "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan".
In order to fight against "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan", Zhongxia Company has already released elites. No one can stop the storm brought by He Xi's second work. If the second work is a game, and it is a popular game like "Pokemon", Zhongxia Company will have no hope of turning around this year.
"He Xi. You are really doing everything!"
Ding Yanghua scratched his head, and he felt that He Xi had planned to act. He first dragged them with an animation, and then broke out another work. The media's sight has now been attracted by the new work. Zhongxia Company tried every means to stop the development of Phoenix Company, but this premeditation is about to face the risk of bankruptcy.
If there is no way to prevent this new work from becoming popular, this year will form a perfect 'Phoenix Year', and even if "Flame Boy" wins, it will not be able to suppress their popularity.
Angels are not very equal in fighting against He Xi. If He Xi is fighting on two fronts, even if he loses an animation, Zhongxia Company will not have the shame to say that they can defeat He Xi. The media will not say that, and you will not be laughed at if you say it out loud. If you are ten-on-one, then forget it. After all, it is all an animation, but if the other party does not have the full strength to compete with you and is playing other works in his hands, how can you say that He Xi fails?
The popularity of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is rising. If the new work is also popular, the media will focus on He Xi again in the second half of the year. Zhongxia Company has really been wasted all its efforts!
"God bless you. Never be a game, never be a game!" Ding Yanghua prayed in his heart. This new work must not be a game. If it is an animation and comic, Zhongxia Company still has the opportunity to cause trouble for him, but if it is a game business that Zhongxia Company cannot interfere with, then they will have no possibility of curbing He Xi's popularity.
However, the possibility of the game is very small. "Pokemon" was released just a few months ago, and Phoenix should not have produced a new game so fast. Animation is even more impossible. The three animation departments of Phoenix are producing "Pokemon", "Detective Conan" and "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan". The possibility of launching new animations is close to zero.
Therefore, it was soon said that He Xi's new work would be a comic, and the comics were his base camp. Phoenix Company also specially added two comic magazines this year. However, He Xi seemed very conservative in comics this year. He released "Shanna with the Eyes" at the beginning of the year, and announced a suspension after two volumes. His readers felt that it was not satisfied.
"Is it "Shana with the Eyes"?...The new volume is coming out, I really want to know the follow-up plot!"
Many readers were excited. In the special section of He Xizhi Home, fans started to talk lively.
The media and reporters also think that "Shana with the Eyes" is the most likely. Each volume of this comic is released as a separate story. In addition, "Shana with the Eyes" has been suspended for several months. He Xi may have painted it, but he has only taken it out for everyone to see now. This can also explain the reason why he can also launch a new work while producing "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan".
But in fact... the new work is not "Shana with the Eyes", and Meng Huo's opportunity to launch the new work is because of Qin Ya.
One day, Qin Ya suddenly complained about her dissatisfaction with "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" while drawing the animation.
"I was cheated and thought it was a girl's animation! But no matter how I watch this plot, it is all boys like it!" Qin Ya was very dissatisfied with the animation's CP. There is no love element in "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan". The main characters are all girls, and the relationship between girls makes people feel too intimate.
This animation has a little lace-edged atmosphere, which can please male audiences, but it is a big cancer for Qin Ya.
She felt uncomfortable: "Teacher He Xi, are you biased towards boys?"
"Most of your previous works are from the standpoint of boys. The quality of the girl comics in Phoenix Company is obviously much lower than that of the boy comics." Qin Ya said to Meng Huo: "Your loyal fans are mainly girls. Your biased behavior has disappointed everyone!"
She said something a bit extreme, and Meng Huo didn't listen to it all. Qin Ya's fans are mainly boys, but she didn't draw boy comics even though she was different.
However, Qin Ya is right. Phoenix's Girls' Comics and Young Manga have developed at different speeds. Among the four magazines, the number of submissions to the two comic magazines for males is five times more than that of females, but the number of serialization positions of the two is similar, and the submissions are very large.
Not only that, the sales of the magazine are also very unbalanced. Phoenix's boy comics sold 10 million more copies than the girl comics. Meng Huo has always been worried about this. The girl comics he has read are really limited, and it is difficult to mass-produce them like the boy comics, and then develop the girl comics.
Qin Ya's arrival gave him hope. After hearing Qin Ya's complaint, he immediately said that he wanted Qin Ya to be the pillar of the Phoenix Company's girl comics. With her comic strength, it is not difficult to do this.
But Qin Ya put forward a condition.
"It's not impossible to let me draw a girl's comic in Phoenix." She stopped the pen in her hand and pointed to Meng Huo: "But I want you to draw with me, and we both will release serialization at the same time. If the story you draw is better than mine, I will paint here wholeheartedly in the future."
Qin Ya still remembers her failure that year. She always wanted to compete with Meng Huo again in the girl comics. Although she changed jobs, her fighting spirit did not change.
The conditions are not simple, but it is an irresistible temptation to Meng Huo.
"good."
He agreed. Although he did not have the foundation of a few girl comics, he still had works that he could replace.
"It's not too late, let's prepare early!" Qin Ya seemed very excited: "How about the comic content they decided to launch within two weeks?"
"Two weeks?"
Meng Huo was surprised at Qin Ya's speed, but their collaboration on "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" has already reached a good point, so it is not difficult to open a comic again.
"no problem."
Meng Huo also agreed to this. He was a little happy, but he was actually very surprised.
Qin Ya brought him a new kind of fun, being in the same company, drawing animations together during the day, and going back to think about new comics at night, and then having these two comics fight - this kind of experience has never been done by Meng Huo.
"I didn't expect there would be rivals in the same company." On the night when Alice and Shen Jie were invited to the apartment for dinner that day, Meng Huo said to them with a smile: "Qin Ya's new comics are launched on "Weekly Girls", and my comics will be launched on Gemini Women to Magazine. I really don't know if I can beat her."
The sales of "Weekly Girl" is higher than that of Gemini. The two of them have a comic magazine arranged by people from the Girls' Editorial Department. People in the editorial department think Meng Huo has too much advantage, so they gave Qin Ya a favor, and Qin Ya and Meng Huo both expressed no objection.
"Have you decided on your new comic?" Alice was a little concerned: "When will the news be announced?"
"Well, I've thought about it... The new comic is a love story suitable for both men and women, and the heroine is a bit arrogant..."
"I will leak news about the new work in advance and attract the reporter's eyes first... As for the time of the official announcement." Meng Huo glanced at Shen Jie and smiled and said, "Isn't this just right? The thing that Qin Ya jumped over has not yet spread. This time I announced the content of the new comic with her - it was on Shen Jie's stage."
Two days ago, Shen Jie's debut stage was finally found after twists and turns. It was an open-air stage in Suhua City. Shen Jie chose this stage herself. She didn't want Alice and Meng Huo to continue to worry - "That's enough. As long as I'm given a chance, I will definitely hold it in my palm."
At that time, Shen Jie told Alice and Meng Huo like this, that she seemed very open-minded, but Meng Huo cared very much.
He felt that Shen Jie was a member of the "Gundam Singer" after all, and she was very strong, so she couldn't be too shabby when she debuted!
