Chapter 379 Serialization of "Steelmaking"
As the largest comic book store in Hongchuan, Jiman has a very close cooperation with "icfuture".
Before the 27th issue of "icfuture", the advertisement of "Steel" was erected at the extremely diffuse door and bookstore, plus the screen above the listing signboard, and the promotion of the Manjianet forum, let many readers know, The new work of "Steelmaking" is coming soon.
"Icfuture" has just been sold, and Shen Xin's fans can't wait to rush into it. He bought the magazine for the first time.
""Fullmetal Alchemist" is here!" A reader took a photo of the cover page of "Steelmaking" on the Internet and posted it to the forum.
"What are you talking about? Is it interesting?"
"Damn! If it wasn't for class, I would definitely buy it. Now I have to wait until after school to buy it."
"Upstairs, you don't need to go anymore. When school is over, it is estimated that it will be gone."
"It's impossible. I bought this year's "icfuture". The hardest thing to grab is the magazine from the previous year. "Soul of Chess", "Dragon King" and "Abyss of Hunting" are all in the climactic plot and can't be bought at all."
"Do you think there is any difference between this issue and the previous one? "Steel", "Dragon King Biography" and "Hunting Abyss" are serialized at the same time, and "Steel" is the first word, you don't need to think about it. Not at all."
"Thinking of it, this is the first word of "Steel", no, my stomach hurts, I have to ask the teacher for leave."
...
Taking Jiman Bookstore as an example, the sales volume of "icfuture" has improved a lot, but it is still not as hot as the previous year.
The staff of the bookstore knows this well. The paper comics are already in a bottleneck period, and it is difficult to make any major breakthroughs.
Even if "icfuture" smashed a lot of advertising costs, it may not necessarily rise to 60 million copies.
The next day, the number of readers who bought "icfuture" did not decrease significantly, and the sales volume throughout the day was almost the same as the first day. This was a surprise to many people in the industry.
Those who have really read this issue know that "Steel" plays a very important role in it.
This is not to say that "Steel" can effectively turn the tide, but because some readers will buy the manuscript.If there are only a few comics in "icfuture", it is possible that a few people will work together.
If there are more comics available in the magazine, those readers who "make it" may buy the magazine.
"Steel" makes this part of people determined to buy "icfuture".
Shen Xin's exquisite style of painting has passed other comics in "icfuture", and the story of "Steel" doesn't need to be said much. It's beautiful in itself.Despite the Western style, these are not problems in front of the wonderful plot.
Chinese movies are also usually imported from European and American blockbusters, many of which are big hits, but readers have a certain understanding of the West.Therefore, despite cultural differences, readers can understand the settings in "Steelmaking".
"I thought it was esoteric? It looks nothing."
"The'equivalent exchange' rule that appears inside is somewhat like the'law of conservation of mass'."
"'Equivalent exchange' emphasizes exchange?"
"But isn't the human body equivalent exchange?"
"If you think about it, you can understand that it is impossible to make a human body. It is different for each person, and the body composition is different. Even if the height and weight are the same, but the fat and muscle content are not the same. According to the equivalent exchange rule, it is possible to practice Create other creatures, not humans."
"There are formations. Under the effect of formation, it is impossible to refine other creatures."
"No. Taking chemistry as an example, the instruments, experimental environment and energy replaced by the formation of the formation, the same experiment, multiple verification, the results may still be biased. Relying only on the formation of the formation, it should not be possible to produce complex creatures."
"A few upstairs, don't bring the real world into the comics. If everything is linked to reality, the author can't create."
"You are right,
The online discussion about "Steel" is more than just the plot of the story.
Several concepts that appeared in the first words also aroused the reader's curiosity.
Since there are indeed alchemy and the tree of life in reality, some readers have begun to try to sort out the background of "Steel" after reading it.
People who are curious about "Steel" are far more than ordinary readers.
After the 27th issue of "icfuture", Ye Hexu got the magazine for the first time.
As soon as the sample magazine came out, he read it. Now he sees the officially sold version, and he is even more excited. He even picked up the pen several times and drew a few sketches, and compared it with Edward painted by Shen Xin. , Then shook his head helplessly.
"Mr. Shen is a good start. It doesn't seem to be the first word at all, but it is like a certain word in the comics... The settings of the comics are also very good. More cleverly, he threw many settings through an event. Come out. I also like the narrative style of the comics. Hee hee...Mr. Shen really did not let me look forward to in vain."
Ye Hexu touched his chin, his face glowed with red light.
"Teacher, the beginning of this cartoon looks pretty good... Can Teacher Shen hit the list?" an assistant asked.
"It can definitely hit the list. First of all, the 4o page length is a great advantage for "icfuture", not to mention, this is the work of Teacher Shen. The word "Shen Zheng" will be "Steel" has a bonus in this work. In addition, this style of comics is also very pleasing.
"Although the topic of discussion is very heavy, did you not show it? In the first sentence, I used a lot of humor and used the stick figure of the character to mediate the suppressed atmosphere of the comics. Readers will not feel too dull when reading. ."
"But why...if the theme of the first story is "life", it is necessary to make some foreshadowing and lower the atmosphere of the story. I always feel that moving the plot can create classics." The assistant said his own understanding.
"You are right." Ye Hexu nodded. "You look back at "Soul of Chess" now, how do you think of that comic?"
""Soul of Chess"?"
Isn’t that Shen Xin’s upper work?
"Classic... yes, it is classic."
"What is the most classic plot?"
"Uh... Zuowei should have left." the assistant recalled.
"You know, how many people gave up "Soul of Chess" because Zuowei left?"
The assistant was dumb.
"If you want to become a classic, you must have a classic plot. Tragedy is undoubtedly the best method. But again, it also suffers from the loss of readers. Applying the content of "Steel", this is the "equivalence rule." Some works are ordinary People know that they are classics because they have passed the test of time, but these people still don’t want to read them. Why? Because they don’t want to read certain plots in the book.
"Comics are, in the final analysis, commercial comics. The purpose is to allow more readers to pay. So, even if there is heavy content, we must take into account the reader's feelings as much as possible and process it in some way. Or, cut the knife quickly Chaos, describe this matter in the shortest length, or, add'flavoring' to make the'taste' of the comic less'bitter'." Ye Hexu explained.
