Chapter 120: The Fire of the Plain
The new issue of the magazine was launched, and readers suddenly found that a cute cartoon image appeared on the cover of the magazine, which had been mainly textual, with a line of words on the side: Machine qì cat officially began to be serialized.
"In fact, it will be more attractive to mark a store manager's recommendation, and a new delivery letter or something." Zhang Qiuxi thinks so, but this mention was vetoed by Hongdou for the simple reason that Hongdou didn't know what it meant.
Although there are no such attractive headlines, Tinker Bell's eye-catching image is still easy to attract readers, after all, it is also a cover recommendation, and it can only attract people because the magazine itself has a problem.
"It's actually a serious comic, and this solo group is really all-encompassing." Readers open the magazine and find that not only the cover is illustrated, but the content is also colored.
Unlike "Runaway Comics" and "Dead Rabbit", "Machine Qì Cat" is a comic in the true sense of the word. The first few pictures are still color pages, which makes it easier for the image of Tinker Bell to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"It's true that color is much more comfortable to look at than black and white, but why would you insist on using only a few color pages, and wouldn't it be better to make them all colored?" "Machine Qì Cat" has an extraordinary meaning for Ye Qingqing, so she is also committed to the pursuit of perfection.
She can easily complete two words a month, and the rest of the time is not enough to draw a word, but there is no problem with coloring. It's just that this mention was rejected by others, especially Zhang Qiuxi was very firm.
"Compared to the first issue, our magazine is a lot thicker, and now it's not only a few pages thicker, but it's also color. The cost is also rising, and the selling price has not been increased. You have to stand in the perspective of the magazine company and control the cost. ”
"Come on." Ye Qingqing said disdainfully: "It is true that the magazine is a lot thicker, but because of the increase in the amount of print, the increase given by the printing house is also lower, and the cost has not increased at all, but has decreased." ”
Anyway, she has joined the magazine for so long, and Ye Qingqing still knows a lot about these things. Of course, this matter is just a few of them, and they will not casually tell others about the cost.
"Little sister, look ahead." The head of the magazine said: "This comic is not a magazine serialized and it doesn't matter, and it will be published in a single book in the future, all of which are color pages, but it is also one of the factors that attract readers to a single book." ”
"You filthy adults, don't you have anything else in your eyes but money?" Ye Qingqing had an expression full of righteous indignation and said, "You guys who are full of copper smell, what do you think of other people's dreams?" ”
"Little sister, don't make trouble." Zhang Qiuxi pinched Ye Qingqing's cheek and said, "Only those who have money to buy food can grow taller." ”
“……”
The first two serialized words are "The Machine from the Future World" and "Tinker Bell Prophecy", which is not small, in addition to explaining the origin and purpose of Tinker Bell, it also allows readers to understand the background of the story style, and children can understand what type of story this is.
Tinker Bell's cute appearance is still very lethal, and even some girls who don't like anime in the original time and space can't put it down, and the older people are, the higher their immunity to it, but it doesn't matter, the success of the original "Doraemon" is not just that the shape is cute enough.
"Do you think we're really going to make it?" Zhang Qiuxi is full of confidence, but Ye Qingqing's mood is very worried, and she is often reluctant from the first day of the magazine's release.
Being a cartoonist has always been Ye Qingqing's dream, and after looking forward to it for so long, she will definitely suffer from gains and losses, and this mood is completely understandable. Hongdou said: "Don't worry, you see how calm Xiaoqiu is, you should have confidence in yourself." ”
"I don't have a big heart like him." Ye Qingqing said: "After all, this is a children's comic, and the readership of our magazine is not children, and we are not a professional comic magazine, but I am afraid that it will not attract comic lovers." ”
Zhang Qiuxi did not comfort Ye Qingqing, because it was better to speak with facts. The definition of "Machine Qì Cat" is indeed a children's comic, but the audience is never just children, and "Soloist" has attracted a lot of middle and high school student readers, which is a wide range of anime lovers, so there is no need to worry at all.
"Yiye Zhiqiu, I have never heard of such a cartoonist." Comics may not be of interest to most science fiction readers, but as Zhang Qiuxi expected, student readers will be happy to read them.
"Domestic cartoonists have never heard of anything unusual, and there are few names worth remembering." Someone said disdainfully: "It's probably a funny four-panel comic again, and domestic cartoonists can also draw this genre." ”
"This is a solo group, Zhang Qiuxi's solo group, it can't be the same as other domestic comics, right? At least this machine qì cat is very well drawn. This person's rhetorical question didn't have much confidence, but he looked at it with some expectation.
In Japan, manga and anime are closely linked, and there are not many original anime, and manga that is popular will definitely be able to be animated. But in China, it's different.,There are a lot of animations made every year.,But almost none of them are comic animation.,Even some very popular four-panel funny comics.。
In Zhang Qiuxi's memory, the classic works of domestic cartoonists include "A Yu Online", "Oolong Courtyard" and "Old Master", all of which are funny types, and there seems to be only "Old Master" with an animated version.
The attitude of domestic animation lovers towards domestic comics is exactly the same as that towards domestic animation, and many people have opened the comic industry with the mentality of being idle anyway, and then they plunged into it and couldn't extricate themselves.
Inside the desk, there is a time machine, a four-dimensional pocket that can fit anything, and a bamboo dragonfly flying machine...... Although it is only two words, a lot of various magical and strange props have appeared, and all kinds of whimsical ideas have easily captured the hearts of readers.
"This is a comic in the true sense of the word, I mean it's different from other domestic comics, and from now on I have one more reason to buy a solo group." Some people turned the last page and felt very regretful, because after reading it, they still felt unfinished, so they said so.
No matter what happens, time always flies quickly after indulging, and after reading it, these readers can't help but share their joyful feelings everywhere. In fact, every anime lover is a bit of an evangelistic attribute, and likes to introduce his favorite works to others, so the fire of "Machine Qì Cat" finally burned slowly.
