Big Manga

The friends refused, so Lin Dong had no choice but to give up buying "Weekly Boys".

After the bus closed the door and set off, he was a little sullen.

"Look at this!"

The boy looked at him, and then handed over the phone. Lin Dong picked it up and looked at it. There was a comic exchange forum on the phone. There were more than a dozen posts that came into view, two of which were about He Xi's new comic " Chess Soul" information.

One of the titles reads "Someone on Weibo praised Teacher He Xi, saying that "Soul of Chess" is a very professional Go manga!", while the other read "Hurry up and buy "Weekly Youth", He Xi The teacher's new work is so good!"

Lin Dong was more interested in the latter one. He clicked on this post to enter, and casually asked the boy, "Why don't you go to He Xi's Home Forum?"

"Come on, He Xi's Home is stuck, every time I look at that forum, I want to drop my phone!", "I feel the same way, there are too many people and sections in that forum, I can't log in anymore, my computer is stuck, my phone always It’s because I can’t connect, and the students around me are playing in other forums.”, “By the way, I found a new forum recently…”

Friends were discussing a lot, and Lin Dong could understand them. The He Xi Family forum is too complicated, with more and more forums, and the composition of members is also diverse. There are comic readers, game players, fan writers, netizens who like to go to forums... …

He Xi's Home is very stuck every day, and many fans have already been blocked, but Lin Dong usually likes to read things on it at home, because this forum has the most information and people in the comics world.

After opening the post, Lin Dong saw that this post was also forwarded from He Xi's House.

"This is the information I read from He Xi's House. Some people have already finished watching "The Soul of Chess". Everyone go buy it! I've already set off!"

The text of the post said so, and the people who replied below didn't believe it.

"Come on. How do you read Go comics if you don't know Go? Don't spread rumors here!"

"That's right, there are posts saying "Soul of Go" is a professional Go manga! Are you kidding us? You say it's a professional manga, and you can read it without knowing Go. These two are too contradictory. Believe who is an idiot!"

"Stop blowing it up, the poster has a look outside. This is the worst cartoon ever released by Mr. He Xi. If it is really good, it will be spread like before. No friends around me have told me about it. Woolen cloth!"

Looking at these replies,

Lin Dong felt that it made sense. How can a Go manga be very professional without having to understand Go? And at this time before, other people on the bus would say that the new manga is very good, and it won't be as cold as it is now.

"Soul of Chess" should not be a very good comic...

"Maybe it's right not to buy it." Lin moved the money in his pocket, feeling a little rejoiced, but what he didn't know was that at this moment, more and more "Soul of Chess" were gradually popping up on the He Xi Family forum. Positive review post.

"Absolutely amazing work! I bought "Weekly Shonen" right away. I enjoyed reading these three episodes!"

""Soul of Chess" is amazing, super beautiful! Although it is a Go cartoon, I can't understand their chess games at all! But I don't know why. It feels very burning!"

"Mr. He Xi's new work is very cool. It feels like a passionate dream comic, yes—it's similar to "Dream Eater"! But I think it's faster to enter the theme than "Dream Eater". Chapter 1 It’s time to start playing chess, the painting is really good!”

On this forum designated by Phoenix Company, a group of people were not very optimistic at the beginning. But after the manga was released, after seven o'clock, there were positive reviews. And around eight o'clock. More and more people finished watching the first three episodes, and started a topic on the forum excitedly.

"This review is very good!"

Yanjing. Xing Boxiang, who just went to work, scrolled the mouse to browse the webpage. He Xi's House hadn't set up an exclusive section for "Soul of Chess", but news appeared on some other sections, and the comments were mainly positive.

"But why is the market performing so poorly?"

Xing Boxiang became curious again. She read the morning newspapers in the car just now and found that the sales of "Weekly Boys" in various places are not very good, and from the speeches on the forum, it can be seen that this trend is not very big. Variety.

"Strange." She then looked curiously at other websites and some chat rooms. After observing for a few minutes, Xing Boxiang came to a conclusion: "So that's the case, the information hasn't been spread yet."

She found the reason, and the specific news of "Soul of Chess" has not been spread on the Internet. To be more precise, the positive reviews of "Soul of Chess" are still popping up on the He Xi Family forum, and other websites and news media are all focusing on its sales.

The release of "Weekly Boys" today is different from usual. Usually, when He Xi's new serial comes out, it has been popular since before the release. Comic shops in big cities are full of people, so after the report, other people will The quick realization of this made the scene even more exciting.

However, today's scene cannot be said to be hot, especially because of the influence of a novel that was released on the same day. The dismal result surprised the media.

It was a new work by a novelist who was not as influential as He Xi, and today, the release site of her new work was even more lively than He Xi's new work. In contrast, He Xi's new work looked bleak.

It is now past eight o'clock in the morning, and the first batch of reports have just come out. The news websites that dominate public opinion are all placed on the sale site, and the information is also concentrated on this matter. It is impossible for readers to get to "Soul of Chess" immediately Naturally, it cannot drive the sales of comics.

However, this kind of information lag will soon pass. There have been more and more positive comments on the He Xi Family forum. Now that the information flow is so fast, the quality of "Soul of Chess" comics will be overwhelmed by the news in just a few hours. The media dug it out, and then spread it thoroughly.

At that time, "Weekly Boys" will set off a craze, and He Xi's new work is obviously not going to fail.

Xing Boxiang was relieved. She read the comments on He Xi's Home Forum and knew that "Soul of Chess" should not be able to play. It can maintain He Xi's consistent quality. However, although many posts on the forum were labeled as 'magic work' and 'amazing', Xing Boxiang still didn't believe it.

"Although maintaining quality is a good thing, but boasting too much will make people feel fake..." She shook her head, and then closed the forum. In the chat room that was still open, some people shouted that it was a miracle, but the others obviously did not agree with it. Like Boxiang, I don't really believe it.

The administrator also came forward to comfort and said: "Okay, okay, the sales of "Weekly Boys" are not very good now. As fans of Teacher He Xi, everyone feels anxious. But don't brag too much, just act like a magician every now and then. No one will believe that!"

"That's right, "Soul of Chess" has a good evaluation in the forum, don't worry, it will be recognized by everyone soon, you are so hard to say that it is a masterpiece, but it makes people doubt—how can Go comics be so magical? "

"I think we have to admit one thing objectively. The quality of Teacher He Xi's "Soul of Chess" is definitely not bad, but that's enough. As a niche comic, its audience will always be limited. Don't praise it too much. Otherwise, I will have to find the teacher again!"

The chat room where Xing Boxiang was in seemed relatively rational. After reading the forum, everyone let go of their worries and understood that the quality of "Soul of Chess" would not be bad. It's not bad to keep He Xi from being ashamed, but if you want to continue to praise her, the difficulty is really too high.

And it's easy to be targeted - no, Xing Boxiang had just closed the chat room when she saw some brawls on Weibo.

"Looking at the news in the morning, He Xi's new comic failed to sell. This is within my expectation. If a comic about Go can sell well, it would be hell! But when I went online, I found that some people still refused to admit it. Look at these comments—— He Xi's fans can be so obsessed, I am also drunk."

The president of the Huaxia Basketball Association said so on Weibo. He also took screenshots of several fans' comments on "Soul of Chess".

The basketball association once offered He Xi a high price and was rejected. When the president heard that the theme of He Xi's new comics was a little-known character like Go, he felt that he was humiliated by He Xi. During this time, he scolded him. Quite a few words.

But speaking like this still made Xing Boxiang feel that he was too petty.

Not to mention the Football Association, which has always been gloating. The official Weibo has always dismissed He Xi, and one of the reasons why the Basketball Association is so angry is that the Football Association once rejected He Xi's investment from the Basketball Association. Publicly mocking this incident on Weibo made the Basketball Association lose face.

Football and basketball are the two major sports in China. They have always been fighting each other, and today seems to be no exception. The president of the Football Association also reposted the Weibo of the president of the Basketball Association, and then commented below:

"Don't get drunk. A few weeks ago, you were similar to these fans, and you even spent 400 million to please that cartoonist named He Xi... By the way, is it He Xi or He Xi? I was so drunk at the time." No more!"

This sentence involved the Basketball Association, He Xi, and the fans. Xing Boxiang met the president of the Football Association. He was a stubborn guy. She thought this sentence might be the last thing he said. A word with technical content.

As for other people's comments, apart from the Phoenix Company, He Xi's fans, and the Weiqi circle, those who are related to the "Soul of the Game" and have influence, whether they praise or criticize, generally have a gloating onlooker mentality.

They saw the release scene, and they were all waiting for "Soul of Chess" to fail.

"It's a pity that you can't wait."

Xing Boxiang turned off the computer and sighed. She felt that the sales of "Soul of Chess" would increase soon, and those gloating people were destined to not be able to wait for the scenes they wanted to see. But at the same time, she felt that it was impossible for "Soul of Chess" to turn around completely.

It can stand up, but it is impossible to have an impact that makes others feel amazing. (to be continued)
