This childhood sweetheart has a problem

Chapter 210 Old Readers Have Opinions

The editor-in-chief of "Girls Fireworks" magazine, named Liu Hanyun, was in high spirits at this time, because their magazine had received a new contribution from Xu Qingru!
Xu Qingru's current reader appeal is quite high, and the current sales of "Girl Fireworks" can only be said to be unsatisfactory, and a good work is urgently needed to increase sales.

After Liu Hanyun reviewed Xu Qingru's new work "The Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived", she knew that this girl manga has a very clear goal, that is, it is aimed at teenage girls.

Even not just a little girl, but even a woman in her 30s, finds such a youthful work very attractive. It is so warmly drawn that it makes people feel soothed after seeing it , as if blended into the lingering campus life in the comics.

Of course, Liu Hanyun has paid attention to Xu Qingru's works before, not to mention those popular mainstream martial arts comics, even the anime "Magic Girl Madoka" and "EVA". Her works are literary, obscure, stream of consciousness, and compelling. Extremely high, the fans are very loyal!

At first, she was still a little worried. Xu Qingru suddenly chose the track of girl comics, whether she would be a little unaccustomed, or too literary, and the works were half-understood. As the editor-in-chief of a commercial romance comic magazine, of course I prefer kingly 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 there was an urge to eagerly read the next content...

This "summer solstice has not arrived" is very good!
In fact, its plot is not very brilliant, and its characters are quite stereotyped, but it is because of its unique charm, interaction between men and women, and friendship between men and women, which has reached the point of touching people's hearts.

Although there are some very stream-of-consciousness paintings in it, they did not destroy the smoothness of the plot, on the contrary, it played a role in setting off the atmosphere of the whole comic, and the words that matched the paintings were all wonderful. Wow!
"Sunlight hit the city like a tsunami."

"In those summers when the sky is in a hurry to bloom, the sun has the most prosperous joint."

"When you look back one by one, the once vast and boundless tide has covered the light green grass, and the withered face alternately announces the four seasons."

"Those poems that have been sung are slowly revived in the sun. The reeds linger and cover the quicksand and pupils, leaving only the legends you carved on the tombstones, which expand into atonal ballads in the wind."

Liu Hanyun suddenly remembered that Xu Qingru was still a modern poet. She once published a collection of modern poems called "Flying Bird Collection". , should obviously go to the field of literature and art to shine...

He is obviously a very talented poet, why did he come to be the screenwriter of the original work?

But now she discovered that when Xu Qingru used her talent to package a hypocritical commercial comic in such a literary and artistic way, the charm of this work called "The Summer Solstice Has Not Come" is so fascinating!
Yu Jiashu, who was in charge of painting, her painting style is also perfectly suitable for this work. The cooperation between the two parties is completely the effect of one plus one greater than two!

Liu Hanyun couldn't help feeling that Xu Qingru was so talented, she felt like she could take away a little-known painter at will.

As an editor with a very high professional level, Liu Hanyun has a very accurate grasp of the tastes of the readers of girl comics. It is precisely because of this that after reading the opening chapter of this work, she feels that it will definitely become popular. !
What makes Liu Hanyun even more rare is that although the plot and character design of "The Summer Solstice Has Not Come" are not brilliant, the overall atmosphere is so heart-warming that people are fascinated unconsciously. Nowadays, most romance comics are All kinds of sadomasochism, there is such a warm work, it can be said that things are rare and precious...

However, what Liu Hanyun never expected was that the style of the latter part of "The Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived" would suddenly change, abuse for the sake of abuse, and the warmth in the front seemed to be paving the way for the later abuse. Once the foreshadowing is complete, the readers will be tortured to death.

That's right, Xu Qingru is playing her old routine again, the front is warm and sweet, just to trick more readers into killing, so that she can reap a wave of literary value.

Soon, Xu Qingru and Yu Jiashu's new girl comic "The Summer Solstice Has Not Come" was officially published, and "Girls Fireworks" magazine also did not hesitate to promote various purchases. With Xu Qingru's original appeal, the sales of this issue, of course It just exploded!

On the Internet, there are relatively big differences in the evaluation of this new comic by Xu Qingru.

There is a male reader with the online name [Happy Seeing], he said that he liked Xu Qingru's "EVA" very much before, and he thought that what fascinated him most in it was the setting of the human completion plan, and of course the cuteness female characters.

[Happy to see] I have been expecting Xu Qingru to continue to create original animations, preferably sci-fi animations that open my mind, but I didn't expect that the new work I was waiting for was actually a shoujo manga. He grew up and had never read a shoujo manga. It is narrated from a female perspective, and it is always greasy and crooked. No wonder a pure man like him would like it!
However, in order to support Xu Qingru who brought him a masterpiece "EVA" that he will never forget all his life, he chose to buy an issue of the girls' manga magazine "Girls Hanabi" as a support, which can be regarded as a token of appreciation, but He definitely won't buy the second issue, because he has no interest in girl manga at all.

Then there were a few former old fans, most of whom were men, who said that "The Summer Solstice Has Not Come" is really hard to swallow, and I feel that playing literature and art is far inferior to "Flying Birds" and "Evil and Poison", and playing business is even more important. It is not as good as the "Shooting the Condor" series. The final conclusion is--Xu Qingru, please don't go to girl comics to join in the fun, you should do amazing fantasy anime like "EVA" and "Magic Girl Madoka"!
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 opportunity. It feels like "stream of consciousness", "obscure", "art to death", but once you look into it, you are really fascinated!
