Chapter Twenty-Five: The Forest of Fireflies
Animation Star Park, in an office full of comics, Qin Li listened to the staff report expressionlessly while casually flipping through the latest comics.
Although there is a lot of discussion on the Internet about the comics, according to the data, the sales of the comics last week actually fell a little, but not by a large margin.
However, Qin Li was actually very satisfied with this result.
Because the decline this week is smaller, it means that readers are slowly stabilizing.
The completion of a popular comic of the previous Sishen manga has already caused the comic magazine to decline, and in addition, the author suddenly jumped to other comic clubs, taking away a group of readers, and the sales finally fell below 200,000.
This situation not only made the comic society panic, but also made some readers slightly disappointed with the four gods manga.
But in this case, the Four Gods Comics Club suddenly ushered in Chen Yu, and a short comic made a heated discussion on the Internet, which not only aroused the interest of many readers, but also stabilized readers' confidence in the Four Gods.
Therefore, in the face of Chen Yuxin's better-quality comic publication this week, Qin Li is very optimistic, even if the sales of comics cannot return to the previous level, at least it will not continue to fall.
Not only that, a few days ago, Qin Li just asked Liu Shuqiang, the editor of the comic club, to meet with Chen Yu, but he didn't expect Liu Shuqiang's skills to soar, and he got Chen Yu's promise to publish new works, saying that he would bring new works to Sishen next week to sign a contract, which is really a pillow when I want to fall asleep.
The key is that this work is still a novella.,At least half a year can be published.。
In other words, as long as Chen Yu's work is above the level, the Four Gods Comics Society may usher in another popular comic to make up for Li Cun's vacancy before.
At that time, it may not only be possible to restore the previous sales, but also to make some progress.
......
Sishen's weekly sales of about 200,000 comics, in fact, are not too bad in the Shenzhen market, the level is at least medium, compared to those thousands of copies, tens of thousands of small comics sold this week, I don't know how much better.
It's just that because the previous glory of the four gods is compared to the present, it has become a huge gap for outsiders, so many people always think that he can't do it.
Of course, there may be more than that, but it doesn't make much sense to say that.
Nowadays, the main audience of Sishen Comic is divided into two types of people, one is the old fans who have grown up with the comic magazine for more than ten years, and the other is the vast number of students.
There is nothing to compare between the two groups, but when new comics are updated, the majority of students are always the most responsive.
Especially during the holidays, when the comic magazines were just shipped from the printing house to the major bookstores in Guangzhou, the students couldn't wait to go to the nearest bookstore to stop the newspapers, ready to buy them first.
......
Ye Lu is a junior high school student, her academic performance is very good, almost every exam is in the top three of the class, the top 20 of the grade, so in the eyes of outsiders, she is a good example of smart and diligent study.
But what others don't know is that she actually likes to read extracurricular books, especially comics, but she never reads them at school.
Because of her good academic performance, her parents don't have much restrictions on her hobbies, and because she is a girl, her father loves her and has a lot of pocket money, so Ye Lu will buy one or two comics almost every week and enjoy them slowly.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that her damn brother often steals, she would have had pocket money left even if she bought a few more comics every week.
Erasing the annoying spirit of all evil from her mind, Ye Lu walked a few steps briskly and rushed to the nearby bookstore.
Because he came with a purpose, Ye Lu quickly bought his favorite comics, paid for it, and then went to a nearby snack bar, ordered a cup of cold barley syrup, and prepared to read comics slowly while eating.
The Four Gods comic is a comic that Ye Lu must buy every time, and she likes this comic magazine if she likes it, but she likes it very much, but she doesn't, but because her father also likes to read the four gods, so Ye Lu must buy it every time.
However, there was a comic recently, which caused a lot of heated discussions on the Internet, Ye Lu also read it, and discussed it with her father...... Then I was.
Of course, putting aside prejudice, although she didn't like that ending very much, she still recognized the author's strength, so when she learned that the author had a new work published this week, Ye Lu was somewhat looking forward to it.
opened the comic magazine and found the new work of 'Paddled Fish', Ye Lu didn't wait, but first took a bite of barley syrup, felt the sweetness in her mouth, and then looked at the comic with a smile.
"Forest of Fireflies?"
"The name is surprisingly graphic."
Ye Lu muttered in her heart, and then continued to look down, the picture sense is very good, the girl, the station, the long journey, and then recall:
"The first time I met him, I was when I was six years old......"
Is this a love story?
It's still a childhood sweetheart!
When she saw this passage, Ye Lu had these two thoughts, guessing that it was the type she liked.
And then...... The two in memory met,
A big boy, a little girl,
A monster that can't be touched, a child with an iron head......
"Poof...... Ha ha! ”
The mysterious and beautiful painting style that had been created suddenly took a sharp turn, which made Ye Lu couldn't help laughing, the boldness and innocence of the children in the picture were vividly expressed, and Ye Lu fell in love with this cartoon all of a sudden.
Then the picture turned page by page, wearing a mask, the monster named Silver and the little girl Xiao Ying became friends, playing happily in the forest every day, and also met other monsters in the forest, Xiao Ying was not only scared but also very excited, running around like crazy day by day.....
On this day, Xiao Ying was happily picking wildflowers, but suddenly saw Yin, who was tired of playing, lying on the grass resting.
So curiosity about the appearance of silver under the mask prompted her to gently walk to Yin's side and take off his mask......
And then ...... Nope.
Ye Lu's eyes widened and looked at the other cartoon that appeared after turning the page, and Ye Lu, who was kind, couldn't help but curse the author a little, this damn broken chapter made her feel very uncomfortable.
But isn't it, it's like watching a TV series, and you're about to look at the face of a mysterious handsome guy, but you pull the electric switch, isn't it fatal?
So, at this moment, there are really a lot of people who curse the author.
What should I do if I am not satisfied?
Of course, it was vented.
So these people began to line up to enter the post bar and complained frantically.
It's just that Chen Yu, as the author, doesn't know this at all, he still stays in the rental house and works hard, teaching the old watch to draw for half a day, and drawing comics by himself for most of the day, conscientious, diligent, and a perfect model worker, which is commendable!
......
......

Don't forget the recommended ticket!!
