0246 Promotional Illustration
Soon, the Soul Drawing Comics Club put the promotional illustration of "Spring Things" drawn by Lu Ge on the official website, and asked other media to help promote it through various means, trying to let readers who should know that the second phase of the new comic "Spring Things" that is about to be serialized has also come out.

In addition, Lu Ge was lucky enough to bump into the weekly magazine before it was printed, so the illustration he drew also got a promotional position on the cover of the Painted Soul Weekly.
Today's Painted Soul Weekly has a circulation of 12 million, and in terms of circulation, it has become a fraction of the nine major comic clubs.
Naturally, the influence is very wide.
And the most important point is that the publicity targets of the weekly magazine are some readers who read comics, and the effect of this kind of targeted propaganda is naturally better.
The Soul Drawing Comics Club has publicized through so many means, and naturally people who pay attention to the new comics have also learned about the new issue of the promotional picture.
Someone posted on the new anime forum to express their opinion on the new issue of promotional illustrations.
"Judging from the promotional illustrations, the new comics are not simple youth campus love stories."
"A love triangle? A combination of one man and two women, it's easy to think about this combination. ”
"It's just a publicity stunt."
"I'm getting a little bit excited about the new manga, and this illustration looks very meaningful."
"The meaning of the picture is not deep, but the amount of information in the picture is quite sufficient.
There is no one who writes the picture, and the characters on this promotional illustration should be the three main characters in the comics.
The character named Yukino in the picture is sitting in a sunny place, and all kinds of extravagant appliances are arranged around it, and there are a bunch of students looking at this person with jealousy or admiration outside the window, in the setting of the manga, this should be a character like the proud girl of the sky.
As for the male protagonist standing on the side,In addition to the character standing painting, it's still clear in the past.,The surrounding layout is extremely simple.,And people are also standing in the shadows.,The setting in the comics should be a neglected character.,The character should be withdrawn.。
And there's a simple banner behind this person.,Anyway,I think this sentence is quite interesting.,Not to mention this interesting illustration drawn by myself.,I'm going to take a look at this comic with just such a quote.。
As for the one standing in the middle, none of them are already very clearly marked, and it is certain that there is no assertiveness in character. ”
"Khan, it's such a simple analysis, I can see it at a glance if it's analyzed upstairs."
"The same."
"Originally, the meaning of the picture is so shallow, but the painting is really deep, I guess I have to say that I have to turn around and make ghosts."
…..
When a bunch of people were discussing the promotion of the new illustration of "Spring Things", the voting post that was originally placed on the new forum was also due to some changes in the second phase of the announcement.
The ratio of expectation to non-expectation has changed from the original 4:6 ratio to 5:5 ratio, and then to 6:4 ratio, and then I keep thinking that the 7:3 ratio is close.
"After looking at the previous remarks, what is 'none of them', 'I have long said that the work of the cartoonist who drew "Second Five" is not good-looking', 'The cartoonist who has become popular with a little luck seems to be finally going downhill.'
I want to say, people who can say such things, do you dare to touch your conscience and say that you have read a manga that has never been read?
I haven't even finished reading a single comic from others.,I started to comment on other people's next works indiscriminately.,I really didn't know what the new anime forum had become.。 ”
"I didn't know the news long after.,And then I saw the voting post.,The ratio of expectation and non-expectation was 4:6.,It really scared me.,I still think about when the work of no one is not welcomed.。
Then I took a look at the previous remarks and found that there were simply a bunch of sunspots who had never finished reading any of the works.
Then there are a few new works that are not full of brains that are carried to the rhythm, and all of them follow the trend and say that none of the new works are good.
In this regard, I would like to say that the brain is a good thing, the brain is a good thing, not too much, but also try to grow one. ”
……
After all, Lu Ge is only one of the three popular comics of the Painted Soul Comics Society, not one of the three popular comics in the comic industry, so it is only a new work that has begun to be serialized, and the scope of discussing him is still quite narrow.
Except for the major related two-dimensional forums that will discuss it slightly, and then the self-media that has received the money will send a message, there is no other place to discuss it.
In any case, Lu Ge's new comics are serialized, and under such a way of publicity, everyone who knows about it still knows it.
And under this kind of publicity, when the latest issue of the new comic "Spring Things" serialized by Painted Soul Weekly was released, Anseong clearly felt the increase in popularity brought by the pen name of Zhiwuyi.
On the first day, the sales figure of the current affairs magazine was 7.1 million, which was nearly 1 million more than the usual 6.2 million, which really surprised Anseong.
From the end of "Magic Circle" to the present, he really didn't expect that a one-of-a-kind pen name would have such great appeal.
Moreover, it is surprising that in less than two years, the popularity value has risen so much.
In fact, the pen name of "Nobichi" has such a great influence, not only the serialization of the two manga, but also the serialization of "Digimon", and after the animation "Unheard of Flower Name" was broadcast, it also made a lot of people remember the main creator of Nogichi.
As a result, when the new work goes on sale, both former manga fans and those who were attracted by the anime will buy a copy and take a look at it to see what this unique new work looks like.
Moreover, another point is that the theme chosen by Lu Ge this time is youth campus love, such a theme, even if it will cause serious psychology in the circle and disgust to niche readers who regard all popular works as lowb things, but more ordinary readers do have an early antipathy because of such a theme.
If you want to use this as a negative example, it is probably "Second Five", which seems to be a tangled comic for ordinary audiences, and they really don't like this kind of comic that is too tired.
And "Madoka Magical Girl",There are many readers so far.,Although I've heard of the name of this comic.,But because of the theme of magical girls.,And not suitable for the style of magical girls.,Resolutely rejected this comic.。
Therefore, Lu Ge's choice of such a popular theme, coupled with a certain popularity, is easy to attract all kinds of readers.
And among them, Lu Ji is such a kind of reader, not a fan of comics, but from the animation "Unheard of the Name" who knows no one.
Because I like this animation.,From time to time, I'll pay attention to the news of this animation.,Occasionally, I'll pay for a bonus.,OVA.,Anime-related pillows and the like.。
Unexpectedly, the responsible department of "Unheard of Flower Name" cooperated with the promotion of the new work that was about to be serialized (the new work was jointly promoted in all the works created by Lu Ge before), and Lu Jiu also got the news.
He is still in the fanatical period of liking "Unheard of Flower Names", and naturally the main creator of "Unheard Flower Names", there is no work, and he is still ready to love the house and care about it.
Moreover, the theme of youth campus love is not the type he dislikes or finds inexplicable, and reading this kind of cartoon is like eating and drinking, without any obstacles.
Counting the time, on the day of the release of the new issue of the Painted Soul Weekly, which serializes all new comics, I just had time to buy a copy.
As a result, Lu Jiu came to the nearby bookstore on the day of the sale.
When I walked into the bookstore, I found that the flow of people was very dense, coming and going, and many people were holding a weekly painting of souls in their hands.
"I went, but fortunately I ran fast, and I almost didn't grab it."
"I don't know how long it took to start serializing new comics, but I didn't expect it to be so popular."
"Although others don't have serialized comics, they have also done other things, and it's certain that they're popular."
"Anyway, before I left, the boss found that the magazine was sold out, and there were still a bunch of people waiting in line to buy the Painting Soul Weekly.
It's really conservative to say that you are stocking!! ”
"Hahaha~~~"
…..
A few people who came to buy the Painted Soul Weekly in groups walked away with the hard-earned magazines in their hands, smiling and chatting.
Lu Jiu, who was passing by, heard some content and thought to himself: "Is it sold out so quickly?" ”
Standing on the marble square and stopping for a while, thinking about whether to come back after a while, when the bookstore was in front of me, because of the remarks of a few people, I turned back without looking at it, and my psychology was really unreasonable.
So I decided to trot to the largest bookstore near my house and decided to see it with my own eyes.
When I arrived at the door of the bookstore, I found that there were a large number of people waiting, and the beautiful tally clerk was beckoning these people to line up, and the middle-aged boss with a scruffy beard and a slightly chubby figure was pasting a large poster.
Lu took a closer look and found that it was actually a promotional illustration of "Spring Things".
"Oh my God, this advertisement can be hit in the bookstore, and none of these people are a bit tall as a cartoonist."
"Sir, are you also here to buy the Painting Soul Weekly?" The tally clerk walked up to Lu Zhen and said.
"Yes, is there still a Painted Soul Weekly?" Lu Zhen glanced at the voices of the people in the long line next to him, and the words "Spring Things" popped up from time to time, and he felt that it should be gone, but he still asked a little with hope.
In the character, there seems to be an element that does not give up on the Yellow River.
"Our boss has made a plan, and the new batch of goods will arrive in about 15 minutes, so Mr. can wait in line for a while." The tally clerk explained with a smile.
"15 minutes~~~" Lu Yan pondered for a while, and finally nodded.
It's not too long, and since it's all here, there has to be a result.
Lu Yan walked to the side and waited in line, and when he was bored, he stared at the promotional illustration of "Spring Things" for a while.
Although I looked at it again before, I only glanced at it, but this time I looked at it quite seriously.
"The two female protagonists are very beautiful, but the male protagonist is too distinctive." Lu Ji is just an ordinary reader in the two-dimensional outer circle.,I won't delve too deeply into the meaning of the illustration.,After reading it for a while, I came to the conclusion that the male protagonist is different from some of the popular comics he used to read.。
It's not the kind of setting that looks ordinary.,But it's actually the kind that belongs to the delicate or handsome.,The male protagonist on this illustration is really not handsome.,It's not handsome.。
Ugly~~ It doesn't seem to be able to say, after all, the second yuan comes with one-click whitening, as the saying goes, "one white covers a hundred ugliness and one fat destroys all", this male protagonist is not fat, and his complexion is quite fair, so it is not ugly.
A thin young man with a fair appearance and eyes next to Lu Jiu saw Lu Jiu staring at the illustration for a long time, so Lu Jiu's shoulder asked: "Brother, how is it, is there anything you can't understand on that painting?"
Of course, it's normal to not be able to understand.,None of this cartoonist,I used to draw literary niche comics.,His comics have always contained rich information.,If ordinary people read his comics or illustrations.,Without a little thinking,It's really not understandable.。 ”
As he spoke, the thin young man pushed his glasses and said, "Of course, as a fan who has been following since the serialization of "Second Five", I can understand most of the comics and pictures he draws. ”
Subtext: If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me.
Lu Ji didn't think much about it, so he asked directly: "Does the promotional illustration that the boss hung on the wall also have a lot of meaning?" ”
"It's natural?" The thin young man raised his eyebrows, and then began to explain the analysis on the Internet to Lu Ji with a confident face.
Lu Jiu, a person in the outer circle of the second dimension, naturally nodded his head again and again when he listened, and was amazed, as if he had opened the door to a new world.
"I have always had a wealth of information that needs to be studied only by those oil paintings in the West or those ink paintings drawn by Chinese painting masters in China, but I didn't expect that an illustration can also have so many things to analyze."
"Of course, if you don't look at who drew it, this is one of the few cartoonists who can still become popular by drawing niche comics." The skinny glasses youth boasted proudly.
