Chapter 163: A Reasonable Sale

After the first issue of "Chinese Heroes" was released, it inevitably received letters from some readers.

The number of letters from readers can also reflect the popularity of a new manga from one side.

"The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" can have 200 letters from readers every week, and no one can compare that level of attention. And "Chinese Heroes" received 70 letters within 3 days, and the attention is quite good.

At present, the feedback from the letter is mostly positive praise letters. There are also letters of negative criticism and scolding, but they are very rare!

It can be said that "Chinese Heroes" has earned a good reputation for the company!

Because "Chinese Heroes" was influenced by Zhang Shaojie, it paid more attention to storytelling. Hong Kong comics are generally very good in terms of setting, creativity, setting, and fighting, but there is a lack of screenwriters who can control big scenes. Therefore, most of the comics in Hong Kong comics began to collapse in the middle of the series, and even not long after the first issue, after a few issues, the plot began to collapse and I don't know what to do.

Moreover, many Hong Kong comics friendship and family design are often a little tangled, what Lao Tzu killed his son, his son killed Lao Tzu, two people who love each other inexplicably turn against each other, this kind of bloody episodes are endless.

Zhang Shaojie felt that the theme of the comic should be a little healthier, the friendship between friends could be deeper, and the enemies who had a high popularity among readers could also be transformed into friends of the protagonist in the later episodes.

The protagonist of the lonely star, the bitter hatred, the six relatives do not recognize, and the betrayal of the relatives, this is not good! After all, this kind of distorted character relationship cannot gain more market than themes such as friendship, struggle, and victory.

Although, in the inaugural issue of "Chinese Heroes", Hua Heroes was still wiped out. However, the later plot did not turn Hua Hero into a lonely star, lonely and helpless.

Ma Rongcheng is ready to let Hua Yingying have a bunch of friends who want to take pictures in the comics. Grow up with friends, fight together, sway your youth, and fight for your ideals together. And, combined with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War "The Great Man of Chivalry, Save the Country and Save the People", the comic is ready to write the protagonist to save the country and save the people with peerless miraculous skills, which seems to be more in line with the original intention of "Chinese heroes".

"Or, write the protagonist to serve the Eighth Route Army? New fourth army? Ma Rongcheng suddenly had a whim.

There's a head! Zhang Shaojie looked at Ma Rongcheng in surprise, joining the Eighth Route Army, isn't this "Anti-Wonder Heroes"? Nine Yin White Bone Melon, Embroidery Needle, Iron Sand Palm, Iron Cloth Shirt, Light Gong against Army Bullets and Shells?

"There can be a bridge section of eight roads, but it should be the plot of the later stage of "Chinese Heroes"! It is only reasonable that the American chapter is finished, after which the Chinese heroes return to China, go through a series of ideological changes, and decide to help the Eighth Route Army. Zhang Shaojie suggested.

Designing Chinese heroes and joining the Eighth Route Army is conducive to opening up the Chinese mainland market. Although it cannot be said that 100% of the market can be approved to enter the mainland market by virtue of this bridge. But it increases the probability of being approved by a few points.

Ma Rongcheng listened to Zhang Shaojie's instructions, kept holding the notebook, and began to record Zhang Shaojie's main points.

Zhang Shaojie is quite satisfied with Ma Rongcheng's modest attitude, modesty makes people progress, no matter how genius he is, if he does not learn and absorb the beneficial suggestions of others, he will not be able to achieve the great climate.

―――――――― Wang is the owner of a bookstore.

Like other bookstores, his bookstore also followed the trend and included some comics of "Chinese Heroes". However, although Wang Yinran usually sells comics, he doesn't often read comics.

sold 100 copies of "Chinese Heroes" in three consecutive days, and I began to be curious about this comic.

On September 13. In the morning, when no customers came to buy books, Wang Yinran cleaned the bookstore and began to open the inaugural issue of "Chinese Heroes".

"I want to see why it sells so well!" Boss Wang muttered to himself.

Fingers gently flip open the cover, and the story slowly unfolds

At the beginning of "Chinese Heroes", it seemed a little fresh and delicate.

The plot unfolds from the carefree rural life of the protagonist "Hua Hero" and childhood sweetheart "Jieyu".

There is not much narration to explain the plot to the text, only a small amount of text explains the background time, which is the early years of the Republic of China and the years of warlord melee. It's not a good life, but there are still some quiet lives in a few mountain villages.

Wang Yinran smiled knowingly and said: "The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, is it a martial arts romance comic?" ”

After he flipped a few pages, the heartwarming scene ended quickly.

The whole scene is starting to get darker and more gloomy!

In the story, it is explained that Hua Yingying's family has some ancestral land, and the bullies in the same village collude with foreigners to kill Hua Yingxing's family in order to occupy Hua Yingxing's property.

When Hua Hero returned home, he saw his relatives lying in a pool of blood and showed a cry of sorrow!

Ma Rongcheng's delicate painting style is like a movie, so that the fascinated reader can fall into it and feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of Hua Hero.

"What's the use of crying? If a man is a little, he will avenge his parents! Wang Yinran couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

Because of the suspense of this point, Wang Yin turned the comics.

Sure enough, Hua Yingying began to clean up his grief, angrily pulled out his ancestral red sword, broke into the restaurant where the enemies gathered to drink, killed the enemy with the sword, and avenged his parents' blood.

Don't even use a page, a few paintings, and kill the enemy cleanly. This is a very concise style, especially vivid!

"Happy people's hearts, the enmity of parents, it must be like this!" Wang Yinran was stunned!

However, after Hua Yingying avenged his parents, it was not the result of a reunion. But the people killed by Hua Yingying are all powerful people, even if Hua Yingying is avenging his parents, he will be wanted by the government.

Therefore, Hua Yingying had to say goodbye to his pro-plum sweetheart Jieyu and prepare to take refuge in the United States.

The inaugural issue, after explaining so much, came to an abrupt end

Although Wang Yinran only read it hastily.

However, this delicate and exquisite painting work has to make him feel that "Chinese Hero" is definitely one of the best works in the history of Hong Kong Comics!

"It's really a masterpiece.,If the plot is good.,With the current style of painting.,It's definitely going to be popular! The comics that my king is vaguely optimistic about, have never hit the streets! ”

"Hahaha, I'm bragging! The comics you look good at have no intention of hitting the streets, then your eyesight is really amazing. If they are so godly, why do they still open bookstores on the street? A regular customer laughed.

"Damn! Stinky boy, dare to sarcastically mock me! I didn't pay for the books I owed a few days ago, and if you don't pay off the old accounts in a few days, the books won't be sold to you! ”

"Hey, brother, don't be so ruthless? Anyway, we've been neighbors for 20 years! ”

"Neither can neighbors, and you're not my relative!"

"Please! Brother, give me the first issue of this "Chinese Heroes" on credit, pay your salary at the end of the month, and pay off all the old accounts! ”

In the midst of the implicit dispute with Wang, the old customer suddenly showed his skill empty-handed, took a copy of "Chinese Heroes" and ran!

"Damn! You kid, you ran away without paying! Remember, with this one, you owe 60 yuan! The neighbors know each other a little, and after a while, they exchange money by themselves. Don't force me to collect my debts! Wang faintly shouted.

"Got it, miser, your money is indispensable for the end of the month"

―――――――――― Hong Kong's "Ming Pao Weekly", and at the behest of Zhang Shaojie, a commentary on "Chinese Heroes" was published, which can be regarded as an advertorial advertisement for "Chinese Heroes".

"It is not an exaggeration to say that the main factor that attracted the author to read the comic "Chinese Heroes" was because of Zhang Shaojie. Because of works such as "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "Modern Bodyguard" and so on, the author is quite confident in Zhang Shaojie's ability to play with stories.

In addition, the name of the comic "Chinese Heroes" is quite atmospheric, so two days ago, the author paid out of his own pocket and went to the bookstore to buy a copy of "Chinese Heroes" and went home to read it.

When I bought the book, it was quite a fluke, because there were only 88 copies of "Chinese Heroes" in the bookstore, and there were more than 100 people queuing, and when it was the author's turn to buy the book, I happened to be lucky to buy the last "Chinese Heroes".

The author has been tempted by 50 yuan or even 88 yuan, but it is not sold, which shows that the author also has a certain meow of reading people!

Well, after going home, I can't wait to read it, and I feel very happy - it is indeed a masterpiece that the author resisted the temptation and did not cut love!

The inaugural issue of the first issue of "Chinese Heroes" shows the delicate storyline of the book, and the love between Hua Hero and Jie Yu. and the Chinese heroes have a deep blood feud and a battle of revenge

In addition to Zhang Shaojie's story, which makes the author admire again, Ma Rongcheng's painting style is also quite surprising!

The author began to like Ma Rongcheng's sometimes delicate, sometimes neat and neat painting style! Ma Rongcheng's comic storyboard is a bit like a movie montage shot that has been edited and processed. I think if Ma Rongcheng is not a painter, then the most suitable career for him would be a film director."

As an entertainment and fashion newspaper with a circulation of more than 200,000 copies, "Ming Pao Weekly" has published review articles in "Ming Pao Weekly", such as movies, TV dramas, music, and luxury goods, which can stimulate sales!

After the article "Chinese Heroes" was published in "Ming Pao Weekly".

On September 17, within a week of its release, the inaugural issue of "Chinese Heroes" sold 58,000 copies, far exceeding Ma Rongcheng's prediction!

Of course, for Zhang Shaojie, he was not surprised! This is "Chinese Heroes", the only masterpiece in the history of Hong Kong comics that can sell 200,000 copies per issue!

Only 58,000 copies have been sold now, and Zhang Shaojie can predict that this is far from the limit of the results of "Chinese Heroes".
