270. Contrast

Diagon Alley behind the wall of the Leaked Cauldron is especially lively today, but unlike Hogwarts' heated discussion of new magazines, the wizards in Diagon Alley are adults after all, and there will always be some resistance to the emergence of new things, so although there are many wizards at the door of the store, there are not many who actually buy them, but they all look at the comics they have seen and talk about this new type of creative method.

Most of the wizards here knew from the advertising space of the Daily Prophet that Lockhart had a new work released today, so they were full of anticipation before finding this store, but the method of the new work was a little different from what they were used to, and the feeling of resistance arose.

Looking at the noisy wizards in the shop, Quirrell yawned and used his wand to put a few comic books back in their original places. Since there was only one magazine available for sale in the store, Quirrell didn't change the structure of the store, just finding two rows of bookshelves to put on either side of the store so that people could see it as soon as they entered.

Quirrell was one of the few wizards who knew more about Muggle culture, after all, he was a professor of Muggle studies before taking up the Defence Against the Dark Arts class. So after reading the comics, he quickly realized that it was similar to the picture books he had seen in the Muggle library. And because of the dynamic picture quality and wonderful plot, he was quickly attracted, and he finished reading the first issue and collected several copies on the same day.

He stood by the bookshelf and watched the sorcerers arguing endlessly, not understanding why they should argue about the merits of comics, buy and read if they like, ignore if they don't like it, what's the point of arguing and arguing? Or express the content and plot of the comics in words?

In this way, on the first day, except for a few wizards who were interested or thought they had bought a few copies freshly, few wizards were optimistic about this kind of maverick magazine.

In the evening, Lockhart was not surprised to learn of this result, or rather, he did not show up because he sensed that this might happen.

"What do you think?" Lockhart stood in front of the restless comic book, picked up a copy and spoke.

"Almost all wizards can't accept this new work, and maybe we shouldn't sell it this way."

Lockhart was somewhat surprised by his answer,

"Do you think those wizards will change their old insistence because of the different ways they sell them?"

Quirrell didn't answer him, but silently picked up a comic book and asked,

"You're the author of them, what do you think of the comics?"

"How can this be compared." Lockhart said with a smile,

"One is a picture, the other is a text, it's just a different way to tell the story, and there is no difference between them in essence."

"So why are those wizards so resistant to comics?"

"Because they're conservative. It's not obvious. ”

Quirrell shook his head in disagreement.

"If you weren't the author, what choices would you make when faced with comics?"

Lockhart blurted out, but he looked at the protagonist who was adventuring in the jungle in his hand, hesitated, and added,

"I'll probably buy the comics too."

Quirrell smiled and clapped his hands,

"So a large part of the reason why they are stubborn is because they have never had a comparison, and when they have a comparison, even if they don't like it, they won't reject it for no reason."

Lockhart looked at him thoughtfully,

"You mean for me to write this story again?"

"Yes." Quirrell nodded,

"I would suggest that McGoth serialize the plot of the comic in the form of a newspaper, so that they will know the meaning and convenience of the comic."

Lockhart opened his mouth, and wanted to say, you don't seem to have asked me if I wanted to, right? It was a lot of energy, and he wanted McGoth to give up on the comics, and he said in the Daily Prophet that he would start working again, and now that Quirrell said he would continue to spend time on it. However, he looked down at the comic in his hand and realized that he didn't seem to be as bored with it as he thought.

The next day, McGoth learned about the sales of the Diagon Alley comics, and although he had expected that the new thing would be resisted by adult wizards, he felt uncomfortable when he only sold a few copies compared to the sales at Hogwarts, which was a bit unreasonable.

Then I saw Quirrell's suggestion, and I thought it made sense, and the old and new things were put together to see their advantages and disadvantages. As for whether Lockhart will have an opinion, this has been selectively forgotten by him.

After sending the letter, he began to think about the art, or card, of course.

It was easy to make something like the one in the chocolate frog, but he wanted something different, at least a little mysterious, so that the wizards would be interested.

The first thing that came to his mind was the same way he collected Water Margin cards and Pokémon cards when he was a kid in his previous life. However, he was instantly vetoed, because it was no different from the way the chocolate frog did.

Then he wanted to use the scratch card method, but the cost was a bit high, after all, they were facing wizards, unless they were coated with magical materials, otherwise there was no difference between having and not being for wizards.

Then he thought about using magic, but the cost didn't work either, after all, it was just the most basic card, not even a card.

In the end, he decided to use the in-game card drawing method to solve the problem, which is attractive and does not require too much investment. Just make a large chest that can be seen through by magic and add a disturbance charm, and then place all the cards in it, and if you need to draw a card, just pull the joystick on the side, or use the disturbed flying spell to draw a card.

As for the more advanced cards, there is no news yet, and this is no longer something that can be solved by him, and it depends on Hagrid's PR ability. But there's no rush now.,Only when the cards start to be popular before releasing the cards will cause a sensation.,Now even if there is, it's at most curious.,And then it's not attractive.,Fake is fake after all.,There's not enough IP to support them.,There's no comparison with the real one.。

Then there is the issue of currency, he doesn't think there is a need to charge extra for the card, and he can give a chance to win a lottery every time he buys something in the store. As for the cards, they have to be drawn from the badge, and the way has to be distinguished from the cards, which makes them a little more forced. And the method of obtaining the badge still needs to be studied, it can't be too difficult or too easy, it's a bit nerve-wracking.

The ad space on the new day's Daily Prophet once again appeared in the advertisement of Lockhart's new work, which sincerely said that he didn't expect everyone to be so resistant to the new method, so he will re-serialize it in the form of text, and when the time comes, the wizard who takes this newspaper to buy the serialized comics will enjoy a 50% discount.
