Chapter 217: Sorrow Beyond the Times (Part 1)

On Sunday, Alice squeezed her way through the crowd of readers with a magazine.

"so many people……"

She wiped off her sweat, then patted the dust off her body, frowned and looked at the sign erected next to the bookstore - ""Weekly Boutique" sold 1.5 million copies in Ninghai on the first day, setting a record in the history of comics!"

On the first day of release, the sales volume of Zhongxia Company's new magazine in Ninghai exceeded the historical record, 1.5 million!

The sales volume of Phoenix Company's "Weekly Youth" in Ninghai did not exceed one million on the first day, but Zhongxia actually surpassed so many sales in their base camp. It is conceivable that the total sales must have exceeded five times!

This number is absolutely a miracle, shocking everyone's eyes. In China, this is a figure only available in popular single volumes. The sales volume of weekly comics is generally more than that of ordinary single volumes, but it will definitely not exceed that of popular comics.

The sales volume of comic magazines is lower than that of single volumes. The reason for this phenomenon is simple, because there are many comics in comic magazines, and readers will not buy more than half of the comics if they want to read them. But the single volume is not, it has the meaning of collection, and the popular works are very popular.

Zhongxia Company's "Weekly Boutique" had a sales volume of 1.5 million on the first day of its release, and it was still in one city. This is simply against the sky, even more popular than the most popular comic book. However, the popularity of the magazine will fade from the third day, and it is not as strong as the stamina of the single book.

However, the flaws do not conceal the merits, "Weekly Boutique" has succeeded, and its success is beyond imagination! This magazine is affordable, and there are only five serials in it, all of which are high-quality goods. The quality can be compared with popular comics.

"Meng Huo..."

Alice was a little worried that the child would be hit. Early this morning. The whole of Ninghai is talking about the new cartoonist.

A new cartoonist has appeared, his name is Li Xin, and the name of his new work is "The Sequel to Sherlock". The plot of this sequel follows "Detective Sherlock", but what is surprising is that its stage is Huaxia.

The background of the story is that twenty years ago, Sherlock, the protagonist of "The Sequel to Sherlock", was invited by the Chinese government to come to China to help solve some difficult cases. The localization of the masterpiece has caused the media and experts from all over the world to exclaim.

However, what is even more surprising is that. In the first episode of "The Sequel to Detective Sherlock", Sherlock met a Chinese female detective who was as smart as him in Huaxia. As soon as they met, there was a confrontation, and the scene was very exciting.

Forty years later, "Detective Sherlock" appeared again, and there was an extra female detective,

The official character introduction is an unscrupulous spoiler-this female detective will become Sherlock's wife. So when the sequel came out, it immediately caused the detective fans to go crazy, and even many old people were so excited that they asked their children and grandchildren to buy it. When it comes to "Sherlock", it is a pity for many people that Sherlock has no emotional description.

This time Sherlock and the female detective are rivals again. And the spoiler said it was the heroine, which naturally made people full of expectations.

And more importantly, the style. The painting style of the sequel is completely different from the comic version of "Detective Sherlock". The comics have excellent and sophisticated painting skills. It is more like the painting style of an old man who has been immersed in decades of skills. The sense of courage shown in the story screen, even people like Alice with irony in mind, will still be shocked.

The pictures drawn by this newcomer cartoonist seem to have magical powers, showing each plot vividly, making people feel like watching a movie.

"..."

Alice sat outside the bookstore and finished flipping through the manga, feeling a sense of loss. This drawing skill was comparable to Meng Huo's, and the plot was so unexpectedly wonderful, how could Meng Huo win?

On the side of the road, some passing readers are also talking.

"This cartoonist named Li Xin is really amazing. He is worthy of the level of a god! His cartoons are so enjoyable to read, and detective comics can be drawn so well. I have already become his fan. You say... why? Is it possible for Teacher Xi to beat "Sherlock Sequel"?"

"Impossible. When this magazine was released yesterday, it was very popular. It was crowded! Among Mr. He Xi's current cartoons, I can't think of any two that can be compared with this magazine... You can read the other four. Excellent!"

Zhongxia Company said that He Xi had two books against one, but Alice found that the current situation was just the opposite. It was clear that He Xi was using two books against the five comics of "Weekly Boutique"!

The more bullies the less, but the media don't seem to think so. Since yesterday, there have been countless media reports on the hot scene of "Weekly Boutique", and this morning, the 1.5 million sales made all the media go crazy.

They excitedly printed some titles on Li Xin, and used He Xi to hype the newspaper's sales—"China's new number one cartoonist, Li Xin!" "The peerless genius who stepped on He Xi's head to make his debut!"

Even on TV, the story of this new cartoonist is now being broadcast in rotation. Zhongxia Company has promoted Li Xin to the altar in one fell swoop. Li Xin also accepts various interviews very politely, and he can be seen everywhere news.

One day... It's only been one day...

Alice couldn't help but feel a little desperate. She heard that Meng Huo was on fire in one day when he debuted, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Now seeing the enemy go on fire in one day is very unpleasant.

Looking around the street, the crowd flocked to buy the "Weekly Boutique", Alice got up a little sadly, she had just taken two steps when she saw a newspaper on the ground.

A young man's smiling face and a long headline were printed on the newspaper.

"A conversation with Li Xin, a great cartoonist - He Xi is too versatile. I am more focused on comics than him. Focus determines my success!"

Alice was furious, she raised her foot, and stomped a few times with her high heels.

"If you don't know other talents, just focus, this bastard..."

She trampled the images in the newspaper to pieces, and then became worried, how is Meng Huo now? With the media's criticism and satire, plus the pressure of 1.5 million sales, will he be hit?

"No, I'm going to see him!"

Alice turned around and left. Today is the weekend and she has an important appointment. But she didn't care so much, anyway, she scolded whenever she was scolded, and it wasn't the first time. On the way to Meng Huo's house, Alice's cell phone beeped. It was a man's call.

"Sorry, you can eat alone, I won't go there anymore."

After a sharp refusal, Alice turned off the phone.

She hurried to Meng Huo's house, and after ringing the doorbell, Li Qin came out. She looked Alice up and down, with a surprised look on her face: "Alice, why are you free today, and why are you dressed so beautifully? It's rare to see you wearing High heels, it's like a blind date..."

"Sorry, sister Qin, I want to see Meng Huo."

Alice interrupted with a smile. She didn't say much to Li Qin, but after entering the room, she was a little confused.

There were three people sitting on the sofa in the room, Tomato, Hua Meng, and Xi Wenlin. The three assistants sat with blank eyes, and there was an eerie silence in the air.

"What happen to you guys?"

Alice's heart lifted, the atmosphere was not right.

"What happened to Meng Huo?"

She asked nervously, if the three of them could show such expressions, something must have happened to Meng Huo!

"Meng... Teacher He Xi..." Hua Meng came back to her senses first, she turned to look at Alice, showing a bitter smile: "Mr. He Xi is fine, he is drawing in the study!"

But just after she finished speaking, Teacher Tomato suddenly jumped up. He turned around and ran in front of Alice, and suddenly grabbed her hand and shook it up and down.

"Love to make up!"

Alice was taken aback. When she looked carefully, Teacher Tomato was crying. He cried and said, "Go in and have a look at Teacher He Xi. You tell him not to draw any more. If he continues to draw, we will I can't be an assistant anymore!"

Can't be an assistant?

Alice opened her eyes wide, and she became even more confused. What happened? Just as she was about to ask, Xi Wenlin walked over.

"Teacher Tomato, don't be like this..." He pulled Tomato away from Alice, then bowed his head to Alice with a trace of paleness on his face: "Miss Alice, you will know when you go into the study."

Alice was sure that the matter really happened to Meng Huo, and immediately put down her bag. She turned around and walked to the library door. She was so nervous that she even forgot to knock on the door and broke in directly.

"Meng Huo!"

She walked into the somewhat dark study room and saw Meng Huo sitting under the window with his head bowed and drawing. She felt as if time had stopped, the sun was streaming through the window, the curtains were floating, and the boy was sitting there...

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Meng Huo raised his head, showing a surprised look: "Alice, why are you here?"

There was no sadness or loss on his face, just the same as usual.

Alice was stunned for a moment, isn't it all right? Meng Huo is nothing strange, what are those three guys outside playing to deceive her like this?

"Ah, no...it's nothing..."

The blond female editor was a little embarrassed, she smiled, since Meng Huo is fine, she'd better go, and don't mention the matter of "Weekly Boutique", so as not to put pressure on Meng Huo.

"Huhu..."

However, when Alice was about to say goodbye, suddenly, a gust of wind blew out the window, and the wind blew the manuscripts on Meng Huo's desk to the ground, and the top one flew towards Alice. catch.

"I've reminded you several times not to paint under the windows..."

Alice's voice froze. She saw the cartoon on the drawing paper in her hand, and she couldn't even speak.

There was an unbelievable expression on her face, her pupils were wide open, and her mouth was also opened. In the little sunlight, the faint lipstick on her lips shone like stars.

"This painting..."

Alice understands why those assistants outside the study are so out of control...

This painting is really too beautiful. (To be continued..)
