Chapter 171: Commercial comics wrapped in literature and art

"Flowers and Dreams" magazine, Gu Ying is still the editor-in-chief of the magazine, but at this time, she is not as energetic as before, but the whole person looks radiant.

This is not only because she still has the trust of the management, but because the hard work she has been putting into the magazine has finally paid off, although its counterattack is due to someone, her pen name "An An".

Gu Ying found that she still underestimated An An's strength and appeal, when An An really wanted to publish a new work in "Flowers and Dreams", the number of pre-orders for the magazine rose rapidly, directly breaking 1 million copies, this huge reader appeal really made Gu Ying dumbfounded!

Gu Ying always thought that the pillar of "Flowers and Dreams" was the teacher Quan Yingyue with an alternative style, but now, she has understood what a real great god cartoonist is!

With An An, a great cartoonist, the entire "Flowers and Dreams" magazine has a deep foundation, but she also admires the skills of the company's top management, and can let a great god like An An deign to come to "Flowers and Dreams", which is indeed worthy of the Internet giant Ping An Technology Company......

Although Gu Ying has never seen An An, after she watched An An's new work "Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived", she knew that this girl comic has a very clear goal, that is, it is aimed at teenage girls, it is simply a royal girl comic in the royal road!

Even a little girl, even a woman in her thirties like her, finds such a work that exudes a youthful atmosphere very attractive, it is so warm that it makes people feel soothed after reading it, as if they have integrated into the school life in the comics.

Gu Ying was not An An's reader before, but she had also heard of An An's name, and according to rumors, her impression of An An's works was that she was literary, obscure, stream of consciousness, good at painting but poor in storytelling, and brain-dead fans......

Overall, the impression is not good, because after all, she is the editor-in-chief of a commercial romance comic magazine, and prefers the kind of royal works with smooth stories, rather than works that are extremely evil in An An.

Even if it is Quan Yingyue's work, Gu Ying feels that his style is too alternative. Although he draws the heroine, there are more funny scenes and fewer romance scenes, and until now, the "Daily Life of Female High School Students" has never even appeared in the classic template male protagonist in the girl's comics, how can it arouse the interest of those little girls who yearn for love. And those little girls are the happiest when they pick up money, and the family conditions are not good, and sometimes they even save the money for food and buy a single book to support the author.

But Gu Ying can also understand Quan Yingyue. After all, the other party is indeed a sturdy man, and it is already very good to be able to draw that style full of girlish hearts, and it would be really difficult for him to further portray real romance.

Gu Ying also read the works that were serialized in physical comic magazines from the Internet, and found that their works are also known for their alternative novelty and big brains, which makes "Flowers and Dreams" lack the kind of girl comics that can really be king......

At that time, Gu Ying was full of worries about the future of "Flowers and Dreams", and she was even more afraid that An An's new work would be more alternative, for example, it would be another sci-fi comic with a huge brain hole or something, then this girl's comic magazine "Flowers and Dreams" could be revised again. Forget about changing the name to "Daydream".

However, when Gu Ying finally saw An An's "Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived", she even read all the original manuscripts in one go, and then she had an urge to read the following......

This "Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived" is very good!

In fact, its plot is not brilliant, and the characters are quite templated, but it is with that unique charm and the interaction between men and women, the friendship between men and women, has reached the point of touching people's hearts.

Although there are some very stream-of-consciousness paintings in it, it doesn't destroy the flow of the plot, but instead plays a role in setting off the atmosphere of the whole comic. And those words that accompany the drawings are amazing!

"Daylight swept through the city like a tsunami."

"In those summers when the sky was in full bloom, the sun was at its most vibrant."

"When you look back and look back, the once vast tide has covered the shallow green grass. The withered countenance alternately announces the seasons. ”

"Those who have sung the Book of Psalms are slowly resurrected in the daylight. The reeds lingered over the quicksand and pupils, leaving only the legend you carved on the tombstone, expanding into an atonal song in the wind. ”

Gu Ying suddenly remembered that An An had published a poetry picture book called "Flying Birds", and she had also paid attention to it. Then she naturally admired An An's talent very much, but she felt that An An was not suitable for drawing commercial comics, and An An should still go to the art field to prove herself......

is obviously a very talented poet, why do you want to be a cartoonist?

But now she found out that when An An used her talent to package a pretentious commercial comic so literary, the charm of this work called "Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived" was so fascinating!

Gu Ying, as an editor with a very high level of business, has a very accurate grasp of the tastes of readers of shoujo comics, and it is precisely because of this that after reading the opening of this work, she feels that it will definitely be popular!

An An's strength is too strong, it's not that she doesn't know how to draw commercial works at all, but because she was serialized on the Internet before, and she didn't bother to think about the commerciality of her works, but now her new work is going to be serialized in the girl's comic magazine "Flowers and Dreams", and she can draw such a royal work so easily, which really makes Gu Ying completely convinced!

What makes Gu Ying feel even more rare is that although the plot and character design of "Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived" are not outstanding, the overall atmosphere is so heartwarming that people are unconsciously fascinated......

However, what Gu Ying never expected was that the style of the later part of "Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived" would change abruptly, abusing for the sake of abuse, and the warmth in the front seemed to be paving the way for the sadism in the back, and when the foreshadowing was enough, the readers would be abused to death.

The first issue of An An's new serialization in "Flowers and Dreams" magazine has finally been launched, and under the overwhelming publicity on the Internet, such a work that was originally popular and bleak has sold more than 3 million copies in one day, directly leaving behind the current "Pink Memories", which only sells 2 million copies!

And An An's new work "Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived" finally meets all readers! (To be continued.) )
