Zhang Liang saw that the man was running too fast, so he had to give up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Headache, if you grab it like this, you won't have enough inventory. ”

Just as Zhang Liang was about to go back to the store, a man with a small notebook in his hand came over, followed by a middle-aged man with a camera.

"Hello, we are reporters from the New Evening News. ”

Fang Qiang saw a man in blue overalls rushing out of the store, and hurriedly blocked the way, there were some questions, these insiders knew better than the reader: "I'm Fang Qiang, this is my partner, we want to delay you a little time, can I ask you a few questions?"

They have been partners for many years, and they know that most of the first reaction of these young staff members when they encounter interviews is to refuse, and then as long as they block each other's way and leave each other a time to think, if they don't do anything wrong, most of the results of consideration will be interviewed, and this person in front of them is no exception.

Seeing the two reporters standing in a semicircle, faintly blocking themselves from the door, Zhang Liang, who was afraid of trouble, had to agree: "Ask, I'll try my best to answer, I still have work to do in a while." ”

Fang Qiang and Brother Wu glanced at each other, and their hearts were happy. The other party is obviously afraid of trouble, and during the interview, as long as he makes a slight detour, he will know everything and say everything.

Fang Qiang smiled: "What kind of books is this long queue at the door buying?"

Zhang Liang really doesn't want to answer this kind of mentally handicapped question, don't you know that only cats are reading new comics today? But in order to send the other party away quickly, he reluctantly said: "Today's "Cat Look" is new, and they are all here for this magazine. ”

The other party's expression became more impatient, and the professional sensitivity made Fang Qiang clear that he could get to the point at this time.

"Sir, as an employee of the Dragon Country Bookstore, you should have seen this work, what do you think of it?"

Sending the recorder to the other party's mouth, Brother Wu also prepared the camera on the side, and waited for the other party to answer.

A few days ago, when I heard that Mr. Qingbai was going to publish a new comic this week, Zhang Liang was very excited, although he knew that Mr. Qingbai could not come up with a complete long-form comic in just a few weeks, but the short story was also acceptable. But what I didn't expect was that the cartoon he launched turned out to be a female-oriented campus love, and he turned two pages with unbearable discomfort, all of which were between children, it was boring, and the more he thought about it, the more angry Zhang Liang said viciously: "This is a purely female-oriented comic, if there is a plot such as a fight in it, it must be just a child's play, and the name of the comic is "Five Centimeters per Second"...... It seems that the ban on "Death" has hit Qingbai very hard, and he doesn't even dare to draw hot-blooded comics, hehe. ”

Fang Qiang's heart was happy, he was not afraid that you would say too much, but he was afraid that what you said would not be explosive enough, this kind of complaint and dissatisfaction was the emotion that the reporter wanted to see the most.

"And what do you think of the content of this work?"

I originally wanted to say that it was not good-looking, but when I thought of the other party's banned "Grim Reaper" and those works on station B, I suppressed the anger in my heart, and said: "The overall look is very bland, the plot is bland, and the picture is also bland, and the works of ordinary female cartoonists give people the kind of flowers, this comic as a whole reveals a bland taste, I don't like it." ”

"Okay, the selling point is here, the plot is bland. Keeping this in mind, Fang Qiang then asked: "Then how much do you think the sales of "Cat Watch" can reach this time?"

Thinking of the bland plot, and the even worse plots of more than a dozen other serialized comics, Zhang Liang guessed: "The long queue in front of the gate, there should be sales of 200,000 on the first day, as for the next, who knows." ”

Almost everything he wanted to know, Fang Qiang was ready to end the visit.

"Last question, is there anything you would like to say to Teacher Qingbai?"

"I hope Mr. Qingbai can focus on comics, animation and light novels are not for you, those are all small paths, although your music creation skills are also good, but if you have a few more comics like "Bleach ", you will definitely make more money than writing songs, please don't waste your talent, okay?"

After speaking, Zhang Liang ignored the two reporters and hurriedly went to his own work.

Fang Qiang doesn't care about this staff anymore, and now that he knows what he knows, he can already write a manuscript, and even think of the title, which is called "The Talented Cartoonist on the Road of Waste".

Fang Qiang walked into the bookstore with Brother Wu satisfied, this time they were going to interview a few female customers, this kind of girl's comic is still the most vocal for female readers. The two interviewed different types of female readers, and their views were strikingly similar.

Most of the female readers who have seen the sample are full of praise for this short story, praising Teacher Qingbai for understanding the minds of girls, although the picture is very plain, but there is a faint emotion that attracts them to watch it. And those girls who haven't seen the sample are also very excited after hearing it, and they all say that the trip is worth it.

After asking, I found out that most of these people in line were because Station B promoted this work, so they wanted to buy a copy and go back to support it. For this kind of website that does not cost money and can browse all the content with a single member account, girls who are used to reading genuine copies are a little embarrassed, so they will go to the bookstore and buy a copy of "Cat Watch" to show their support.

After the investigation, Fang Qiang basically confirmed the effect of Qingbai's new comics: this is a female-oriented work that women like to read, but hot-blooded men don't like.

This result made him very satisfied, and he was able to explain to his boss.

Before coming, the boss specially instructed him to discredit this work as much as possible. Although I don't know what deep hatred there is between the boss and this cartoonist, but I wrote it truthfully, anyway, there are many women and men in the comic industry, and Qingbai's behavior is tantamount to digging his own grave.

The two of them made their last stop and the two of them were going to the Internet area on the second floor, and they wanted to see the real feedback from readers.

Last month, a forum section was set up on the official website of the Dragon Country Bookstore, and a topic board module was added to it, and the computers on the second floor allow readers from all over the country to participate in the comments on the topic.

After coming to the second floor, the scene in front of them surprised the two of them. There was also a long queue in front of the cash register in the Internet area, and most of them were women.

A thought flashed in his heart, and Fang Qiang hurriedly came to the cash register, ready to interview a few girls in line at random.

"Miss, are you here for Cat Watch?"

"yes!" ......

"Are you for '5 Centimeters per Second'?"

"That's right!" ......

The same answer made Fang Qiang panic, "Can this work really be popular?" Now there are two ways in front of Fang Qiang, one is to report truthfully and then offend the boss and be fired, but this path cannot be chosen.

"It's good now.,It doesn't mean it's good in the future.,A 16-year-old boy.,It's estimated that he hasn't even pulled a girl's hand.,Such a person knows what kind of love.,So the comics will definitely collapse next.,Yes.,It's going to collapse.。 ”
