The editor-in-chief of "Girls' Fireworks" magazine named Liu Hanyun was in a state of high spirits at this time, because their magazine actually received a new work submission from Xu Qingru!
Xu Qingru's appeal to readers today is quite high, and the current sales of "Girls' Fireworks" can only be said to be unsatisfactory, and there is an urgent need for a masterpiece to boost sales.
After Liu Hanyun reviewed Xu Qingru's new work "The Summer Solstice Has Not Come", she knew that this girl's comic has a very clear goal, that is, it is aimed at teenage girls. It is simply the king of kings' girl comics!
Not only little girls, but even women in their thirties like her find such a youthful work very attractive. The painting is so warm that it makes people feel soothed after reading it. When I get up, I feel as if I have merged into the lingering campus life in the comics.
Of course Liu Hanyun has paid attention to Xu Qingru's works before, not to mention the popular mainstream martial arts comics, and even the anime "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" and "EVA". Her works are literary, obscure, stream-of-consciousness, and cool. Extremely high, very die-hard fans!
Originally, she was a little worried that if Xu Qingru suddenly chose the field of girl comics, she would be a little acclimated, or too literary, and her works would be half-understood. As the chief editor of a commercial romance comic magazine, of course I prefer royal works with smooth stories, rather than those that are too literary and artistic.
However, when Liu Hanyun finally saw Xu Qingru's "The Summer Solstice Has Not Come", she even reviewed all the manuscripts in one go, and then she felt an urge to read the next content...
This "Summer Solstice Is Not Here" is great!
In fact, its plot is not that brilliant, and its characters are quite stereotyped, but it relies on its unique charm, the interaction between men and women, and the friendship between men to reach the point of touching people's hearts.
Although there are some very stream-of-consciousness paintings in it, they do not destroy the flow of the plot. Instead, they play a role in setting off the atmosphere of the entire comic. Moreover, the words that accompany the paintings are so exciting. Wow!
"Daylight swept over the city like a tsunami."
"In those summers when the sky is blooming in a hurry, the sun has its most prosperous joints."
"When you look back again and again, the once vast and boundless tide is covered with green shallow grass, and the withered faces alternately announce the four seasons."
"Those sung poems are slowly resurrected in the sunlight. The reeds continue to cover the quicksand and pupils, leaving only the legends you carved on the tombstones, expanding into atonal songs in the wind."
Liu Hanyun suddenly remembered that Xu Qingru was also a modern poet who had published a collection of modern poems called "The Collection of Flying Birds". She had also paid attention to it, and she naturally admired his talent. At that time, she thought it was nonsense for Xu Qingru to join the animation field. , obviously you should go to the fields of literature and art to shine...
He is obviously a very talented poet, why should he be the screenwriter of the original work?
But now she discovered that when Xu Qingru used her talent to package a pretentious commercial comic in such a literary and artistic way, the charm exuded by this work called "The Summer Solstice Has Not Come" turned out to be so fascinating!
The painting style of Yu Jiashu, who is responsible for painting, is also perfectly suitable for this work. The cooperation between the two parties is completely the effect of one plus one, which is greater than two!
Liu Hanyun couldn't help but sigh, Xu Qingru is so talented, and she feels that she can easily lead a little-known painter to her.
As an editor with a very high professional level, Liu Hanyun has a very accurate grasp of the tastes of readers of girl comics. Because of this, after reading the opening chapter of this work, she felt that it would definitely be popular. !
What makes Liu Hanyun even more rare is that although the plot and characters of "The Summer Solstice Has Not Come" are not outstanding, the overall atmosphere is so heart-warming that people are fascinated unconsciously. Most romance comics nowadays are All kinds of sadomasochism, such a heartwarming work, it can be said that things are rare and valuable...
However, what Liu Hanyun never expected was that the style of the second part of "The Summer Solstice Has Not Come" would suddenly change, with abuse for the sake of abuse. The warmth in the front seemed to be paving the way for the abuse in the later part. With enough foreshadowing, the readers will be tortured to death.
That's right, Xu Qingru is doing her old routine again. The front is warm and sweet, just to trick more readers into coming in to kill, so that she can reap a wave of literary value.
Soon, Xu Qingru and Yu Jiashu's new girls' comic book "The Summer Solstice Has Not Come" was officially published, and "Girls' Fireworks" magazine did not hesitate to buy various promotions. With Xu Qingru's original appeal, its sales of this issue, of course, It exploded directly!
On the Internet, there are quite big differences in the evaluation of this new comic by Xu Qingru.
There is a male reader whose online name is "Happy Seeing". He said that he really liked Xu Qingru's "EVA" before. He thinks that what fascinates him the most is the setting of the human completion plan, and of course the cute spots. of female characters.
[Happy to see] I have been looking forward to Xu Qingru continuing to create original animations, preferably imaginative science fiction animations, but I didn’t expect that the new work he was waiting for was actually a girl’s comic. He had never read a girl’s comic when he was so old, so what? It's narrated from a female perspective, and it's always boring and crooked. It's strange that a pure man like him would like it!
However, in order to support Xu Qingru who had previously brought him a masterpiece "EVA" that he would never forget, he chose to buy an issue of the girl's comic magazine "Girls' Hanabi" as support, which could be regarded as a token of appreciation, but He will definitely not buy the second issue because he has absolutely no interest in shoujo comics.
Then several old fans, mostly men, said that "The Summer Solstice Is Not Here" was really hard to swallow. They felt that the literary genre was far inferior to "Asky Birds" and "Ashes of Time", while the commercial genre was more difficult to swallow. It's not as good as the "Shooting the Condor" series. The final conclusion is - Xu Qingru, please don't join in the fun of girls' comics. You should make amazing fantasy anime like "EVA" and "Puella Magi Madoka Magica"!
Xu Qingru’s previous readers were actually older, because younger readers simply couldn’t understand what she was expressing. Even college students and even working readers thought that some of Xu Qingru’s works gave them the first It feels like a "stream of consciousness", "obscure", and "literary to death", but once you take a look at it, you will be really fascinated!
