Big Manga

In a few days, new posters appeared everywhere in Ninghai.

Stations, subways, squares, and both sides of the street can be seen everywhere. This kind of large-scale publicity campaign has not appeared for a long time. While people lamented that Phoenix Company was willing to spend money, they were also amused by these posters.

"Pfft... what is this?"

In the morning, several girls standing at the subway entrance burst into laughter. In front of them, there was a very large poster—a skull with a straw hat.

——The young man made a promise to the sea: "I am the man who wants to become One Piece!" Phoenix Company's new magazine "Xi", leading He Xi's "One Piece", will be released next week——

"Skeleton, why is the drawing of the skull so cute and wearing a straw hat!"

"This poster is so interesting. Is Teacher He Xi's new work from the cute department?"

The girls talked about it with a smile, and in other places in Ninghai, there were also many strangely shaped posters that caused the onlookers to burst into laughter.

There is a poster posted on the wall in the form of a wanted warrant. Many passers-by will be startled when they pass by, thinking that the government is offering rewards for criminals, but only if you look carefully, you will find that the poster is a cartoon character wearing a straw hat , there is a brief introduction of "One Piece" and "Xi" manga below.

The unique and unconventional poster promotion quickly let the readers of Ninghai know about the new magazine, and He Xi's new work also became the focus of discussion among many young people.

"A voyage in pursuit of wealth and dreams..." "Great dreams, creating the strongest youthful manga!" "A pirate story you've never seen before!" "One Piece."

The content on the promotional poster tells the characteristics of "One Piece", but these characteristics are very puzzling. On the He Xi Family Forum, many readers directly expressed their doubts.

"This is a story about pirates? It turned out to be pirates. Why do you still have friendship and dreams? Teacher He Xi, what are your three views?"

"Is the person wearing the straw hat the main character? He's not handsome at all!"

"I haven't seen the introduction of other comics. Is there only one "One Piece" in "Xi"?"

Meng Huo saw these doubts, but he ignored them all. The publicity effect of "One Piece" only needs to be known to everyone. If you want to use publicity to explain this comic. That is simply impossible.

However, the new magazine "Pity\

,"There is indeed only one "One Piece" on it.

After the magazine passed the government's approval, Meng Huo had a heated debate with Phoenix Company. The top executives of Phoenix Company hoped to serialize more cartoons in this magazine, but Meng Huo was of course unwilling.

He believes that no other manga can be placed in the same magazine as "One Piece". If "Sorrow" adds other manga, the sales volume will definitely not be as good as the pure "One Piece".

Everyone knows this. However, Phoenix's point of view is also clear, only one comic is not a magazine at all. Several high-level executives thought that Meng Huo was doing superfluous things. If they simply launched "One Piece", it would be better to launch it directly in a separate book.

"I need a new magazine."

Meng Huo replied to them that his cartoons were increasing, and it was no longer suitable for publishing in Weekly Boys. There are a few of his serials in that comic weekly. If it continues to increase, other cartoonists will have nothing to eat.

The number of serials in a magazine is limited. As a member of Phoenix Company, Meng Huo wanted to leave more space for "Weekly Boys" to other cartoonists. So he wants to reshape a new magazine and launch more comics in the future.

On the surface. The serialization of "Pity" is only "One Piece", which is somewhat nondescript.

However, this situation has no harm except for a few ridicules from the media. Even if "One Piece" is popular, the brand of "Pity" will also be launched. When Meng Huo hands "One Piece" to his assistant in the future, the value of "Pity" will be reflected.

At that time, when Meng Huo launched a new work, he could launch it directly in "Xi" comics, reducing publicity and promotion costs, and there would be a huge readership as soon as it came out. Just like the launch of a new series of "Weekly Boys", it can be read by many readers who buy magazines without publicity.

The existence of "Pity" will give Meng Huo a lot of freedom. He can publish some short serials on it. Meng Huo thinks this is very important for the future.

Without the shell of "Pity", the single volume of "One Piece" is released, and the sales volume is not much different from that of "Pity". Moreover, if Meng Huo can't continue to encroach on the vacancies of "Weekly Boys", he will only be able to release single volumes in the future.

Not only would it be a loss, but each book would require more than a dozen chapters to be saved... The content of "Sorrow" was only "One Piece" at first, but after new comics are released, it can gradually become a multi-page magazine.

In general, Meng Huo needs a magazine to exert his influence and appease the heart that wants to draw more cartoons. Under his strong request, Phoenix Company had no choice but to compromise, and maybe there was no way to compromise, Meng Huo was the boss.

Of course, Meng Huo also made a concession. He increased the planned five episodes of "One Piece" to eleven episodes. In an instant, all doubts and complaints in Phoenix Company disappeared, and who would have trouble with money.

The plot of these eleven episodes is not difficult for Meng Huo to come up with. He prepared a few episodes during his travels in the Far East, and now the eleventh episode has been completed. The reason why I didn't mention it is because there are too many releases this time, and the pressure in the next issue will be great.

He didn't save the manuscript, and he can only release five episodes of "One Piece" next month. I don't know if it will make readers dissatisfied.

"Let's see when the time comes..."

With this in mind, Meng Huo began to participate in publicity activities.

He drew some interesting posters, and Phoenix Company and Huamei United were responsible for the promotion in various regions. The effect was quite good, and He Xi's readers knew about this new work.

However, the huge publicity is ridiculous in the eyes of some people.

"A magazine with only one manga, no matter how big the publicity is, what can it do?"

In Zhongxia Company, Yang Liang was the happiest person. He worried for a long time, but he was completely relieved when he saw the advertisement of Phoenix Company. He Xi couldn't beat Li Xin.

"One Piece" - couldn't be more funny!

"The story of pirates, robbing, murdering and seizing treasure? Who would read such ungrounded and evil cartoons." He said, looking up at the opposite side: "Wang Zhe, are you right?"

"Yes, Minister..." Wang Zhe smiled: "In my memory, there is no literary work depicting pirates. This kind of subject is too difficult to tell a story, and it is a villain. It must be better than detective novels." Unpopular."

When it comes to pirates and the ocean, anyone's thinking will enter a narrow misunderstanding from the pirates in reality, thinking that there is not much content worth digging.

They would not have imagined that "One Piece" is an overhead world...
