Chapter 55: Unequal competition

After a quick and smooth piano note, Meng Huo took his hands back from the piano.

He looked up at the calendar and had already entered November before he knew it. Today is Friday. Yesterday, Qin Ya launched a new serial in "Girls Comics". Now he should have completed the preliminary statistics on the magazine's sales.

How strong is that romance princess? It will be clear if she just waits for Alice and Teacher Hua Meng to arrive.

With a "click", Li Qin, who was going out to buy vegetables, opened the door and walked in.

"Xiaohuo, are you hungry? I bought you radish dumplings."

Li Qin walked into the house with a basket of vegetables. She handed the breakfast to Meng Huo and then walked into the kitchen to work hard: "There are a lot of dishes today, and there are delicious food at noon."

Since Hua Meng and Mr. Tomato have been a helper, Meng Huo's house has become much more lively. Li Qin has to buy vegetables every day. She is obsessed with fiddling with all kinds of dishes. In order to buy fresh enough dishes, she goes out early in the morning every time.

"Mom, there's no need to be so troublesome."

Meng Huo ate the dumplings, poured a glass of milk, and said, "Recently Alice has complained that the dishes you cook are getting better and better, which has made her weight gain."

"Isn't that good?" Li Qin's laughter came from the kitchen: "She is too old, so let her go back and have a son after taking a fattening job. When I was like her, you would be soy sauce."

"That won't work." Meng Huo shook his head and said, "She's gone, who will help me?"

He increasingly felt that Alice was essential, and that was simply a full-time nanny. Not to mention the distance, if Alice was not here, he would have to ride in the train for half a day when he learned the piano.

But sometimes Meng Huo also feels that Alice is doing her best, and if she really proposes to go home and have a baby, he will not refuse.

After breakfast, Alice and Hua Meng also arrived, neither of them had the usual smiles on their faces.

"What's wrong?"

Meng Huo was about to ask, but said, "Okay, don't even mention it, show me "Girl Comics" first."

He knew that they must have known the sales of "Girls Comics", but Meng Huo felt that he should take a look first, otherwise he would not be able to objectively evaluate Qin Ya's comics because of sales.

Hua Meng handed over "Girl Comics" to Meng Huo, and Meng Huo opened it and started reading it. The girl comics launched by Qin Ya are called "Star", which is a very simple name, and the heroine's name is also called Xing.

Xing is a beautiful girl with divorced parents. She has lived with her father since she was a child. Xing also has a twin brother, who lives with her mother, and he is the lead singer of the most famous star group in China, ‘sky’.

One day, Xing's younger brother had a car accident and the entire ‘sky’ group was facing disbandment. So Xing's mother looked her over and asked her to disguise herself as a man...

The first episode of "Star" ends here. A typical girl comic. Meng Huo will know how this story will develop if he doesn't read it. Sky is a star group full of handsome guys. How can a girl develop when she appears in it? Of course, it is all kinds of love and hate entanglements, and polyangs...

Meng Huo thinks that the theme of "Star" is old-fashioned, but old-fashioned, and celebrities and handsome guys are all elements that are highly sought after by women. They like this set. If this comic is well drawn, it will be difficult not to become popular.

And you can tell, it was really painted...

This is what surprised Meng Huo the most. The comic quality of "Star" is very outstanding. Although it is not as good as Meng Huo, it is also very similar to the works drawn by professional cartoonists. Moreover, Qin Ya's name is printed on the page.

"Is this drawn by Qin Ya personally?"

Meng Huo looked up and asked.

"Yes, it's hard to believe. She said that she likes to draw. And she has shown her painting skills in public, so she should have painted them right." Alice's expression was a little solemn: "Although there are several assistants, she is the main painter. I didn't expect that she can not only write books, but also have such excellent comic skills."

It's incredible that the genius girl is indeed well-deserved.

"So, what about sales?"

Meng Huo put down the magazine and asked about the topic.

"Sales..." Hua Meng glanced at Alice and answered actively: "Teacher He Xi, the sales of "Girl Comics" this week were 200,000 less than that of "Weekly Girls"."

The gap of 200,000 is the preliminary statistical result. On the surface, "Weekly Girl" won, but "Girl Comics" did not lose.

A month ago, "Weekly Girl" sold 200,000 less than "Girl Comics", and Meng Huo relied on "Inuyasha" to make up for and widen the gap. Then last week, the preliminary statistics of "Weekly Girl" were 500,000 more than "Girl Comics".

Once Qin Ya's new comic was published, the gap narrowed by 300,000, almost destroying the advantages established by Meng Huo. Moreover, this is just a preliminary statistical result. The two magazines will be released inland in the next few days, and the gap will definitely be further reduced.

Meng Huo has the most fan base in Ninghai and surrounding areas. Further outside, he has almost the same influence as those second-rate authors. After all, other places do not have publicity advantages like Ninghai.

Qingya suddenly raised the sales of "Girls Comics" to the present level in Meng Huo's main battlefield. How could she be in the mainland? Her popularity in the mainland is much higher than that in Meng Huo.

"Weekly Girl" is in danger.

"Menghuo, don't be discouraged, this is not your problem." Alice saw Menghuo thinking, thinking that he was sad, and hurriedly comforted: "The company knows that Qin Ya is very dangerous. She conducted a random check yesterday, and the results showed that "Inuyasha" is more likeable than "Star", and you did not lose."

In terms of the plot and style, Inuyasha has achieved a very high level. Although Qin Ya is genius, she cannot surpass Meng Huo.

The reason for this situation now is simple.

"You and Qin Ya have different influences. She has accumulated two years and has too many fans." Alice said: "You are still young, and you will definitely be more prosperous than her in two years."

It is impossible to deny that Meng Huo became famous very quickly, but his foundation is weak. His reputation is limited to the comics industry, while Qin Ya was famous all over the country through novels and TV series for a long time.

This competition is an unequal competition. People who know Qin Ya are several times that of Meng Huo. Meng Huo's chance of winning was only to expect Qin Ya to draw well from the beginning. As long as her drawings are generally accepted by fans, Meng Huo has no chance of winning.

This is a huge gap in fame and influence, and it is difficult to make up for it. No matter how good Meng Huo's comics are, he does not have the number of readers that can match Qin Ya.

"What else can I do..."

Meng Huo pondered that "Girl Comics" has not surpassed "Weekly Girls", so of course he is unwilling to sit and wait for death. But to surpass Qin Ya, he only has one way to go.

It is to let the most people know about him or the comic "Inuyasha" in the shortest time.

However, this is too difficult. Even if Phoenix Company promotes it with all its strength, the effect will not be revealed so quickly, and other methods will be slower.

"I have a way to give it a try."

Alice was a little hesitant, her eyes flashed a little, and she spoke, "If Meng Huo, you are willing to stand up and tell others that you are He Xi, then I think all the media will focus on you."

A young genius who debuted at the age of fifteen and just turned sixteen will definitely be more eye-catching than Qin Ya!
