Chapter 379 "Steel Refining" Serialization

As the largest comic book store in Hongchuan, Jiman has a very close cooperation with "icfuture".

Before the 27th issue of "icfuture" was released, advertisements for "Steel Refining" were erected at the entrance of Jiman and in the bookstore, coupled with the screen above the listing signboard, and the publicity on Manjia.com forum, let many readers know that, The new series of "Steel Refining" will be published soon.

As soon as "icfuture" was released, Shen Xin's book fans couldn't wait to rush into Jiman, and bought this issue of the magazine immediately.

"Fullmetal Alchemist is here!" A reader took a photo of the cover page of "Fullmetal Alchemist" online and posted it on the forum.

"What the hell are you talking about? Is it interesting?"

"Damn! If it wasn't for class, I would have bought it too. Now I have to wait until after school to buy it."

"Upstairs, you don't need to go. It will probably be gone after school."

"Impossible. I bought all of this year's "icfuture". The hardest thing to grab is the magazine from the previous year. "Soul of Chess", "Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss" are all at their climaxes, so I can't buy them at all."

"Do you think there is any difference between this issue and the previous one? "Steel Refining", "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss" are serialized at the same time, and "Steel Refining" is still the first episode, so you don't need to think too much about it. not."

"Remember, this is the first chapter of "Steel Refining", 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 popular as the previous year.

The staff of the bookstore are well aware of this, and the paper comics are already in a bottleneck period, and it is difficult to make a major breakthrough.

Even if "icfuture" spends a lot of advertising money, it may not be able to recover to 6 million copies.

On the second day, the number of readers who bought "icfuture" did not decrease significantly, and the sales volume of the whole day was almost the same as that of the first day, which surprised many people in the industry.

Those who have actually read this issue of the magazine know that "Steel Refining" plays a very important role in it.

This is not to say that "Smelting Steel" has the ability to turn the tide, but because some readers will buy the single volume of comics. If "icfuture" has only a few good comics, it is possible that several people can put together one book.

If there are more comics to read in the magazine, those "make do" readers may buy the magazine.

"Smelting Steel" just made this group of people make up their minds to buy "icfuture".

Shen Xin's exquisite drawing style, and other "icfuture" comics, needless to say the story of "Steel Refining", it is very beautiful in itself. Although it is the style of the western world, these are not problems in the face of the wonderful plot.

Chinese films also usually import 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 setting in "Forged Steel".

"How profound did I think it was? It doesn't look like anything."

"The law of 'equivalent exchange' that appears in it is somewhat like the 'law of conservation of mass'."

"'Equivalent exchange' puts more emphasis on exchange?"

"But, isn't human body refining an equivalent exchange?"

"If you think about it, you can understand that it is impossible to succeed in human body training. Everyone's condition is different, and the body composition is also different. Even if the height and weight are the same, the fat and muscle content are not the same. According to the rules of equivalent exchange, it is very likely that the training Make other creatures, not humans."

"There are formations. Under the influence of formations, it is impossible to refine other creatures."

"No. Taking chemistry as an example, the equipment, experimental environment and energy replaced by the formation array, the same experiment, repeated verifications, the results may still be biased. It should not be possible to create complex creatures only relying on the formation array."

"Those upstairs, don't bring the real world into comics. If everything is linked to reality, the author will have no way to create."

"You are right,

Haha, just seeing experiments and scientists, inevitably connects with reality. "

Discussions about "Smelting Steel" on the Internet are not limited to the plot of the story.

Several concepts that appeared in the first chapter also aroused the curiosity of readers.

Since the contents of alchemy and the tree of life do exist in reality, some readers also began to try to sort out the background of "Smelting Steel" after reading it.

People who are curious about "Smelting Steel" are far more than ordinary readers.

After the 27th issue of "icfuture" went on sale, Ye Hexu got the magazine immediately.

He had read the sample when it first came out, and now seeing the official version, he was even more excited. He even picked up a pen several times, drew a few sketches, and compared it with the Edward drawn by Shen Xin , then shook his head helplessly.

"Mr. Shen's opening is good. It's not like the first chapter at all, but like a certain chapter in a comic... The setting of the comic is also very good. What's more ingenious is that he threw away many settings through an incident. It came out. I also like the narrative style of comics. Hehe... Teacher Shen really did not let me look forward to it in vain."

Ye Hexu rubbed his chin, his face flushed red.

"Teacher, the start of this manga looks pretty good... Can Mr. Shen hit the list?" an assistant asked.

"It will definitely hit the list. First of all, the length of 40 pages per episode is a great advantage for "icfuture". What's more, this is the work of Mr. Shen. "Smelting Steel" has a bonus. In addition, this style of comics is also very pleasing.

"Although the topic of discussion is very heavy, didn't you realize it? In the first chapter, a lot of humorous techniques were used, and the stick figures of the characters were used to mediate the depressive atmosphere of the comics. When reading, readers will not feel too dull. .”

"But, why... If the theme of the first chapter is 'life', some foreshadowing should be done to lower the atmosphere of the story. I always feel that a touching plot can create a classic." The assistant said his own understand.

"You're right." Ye Hexu nodded, "Now you're watching "Soul of Chess", what do you think of that comic?"

"Soul of Chess?"

Isn't that Shen Xin's last work?

"Classic...yes, it's a classic."

"Which one is the most classic plot?"

"Uh...it should be Zuo Wei's departure." The assistant recalled.

"Do you know how many people gave up "Soul of Chess" because Zuo Wei left?"

The assistant was dumbfounded.

"If you want to become a classic, you must have a classic plot. Tragedy is undoubtedly the best way. But at the same time, you also have to suffer from the loss of readers. Applying the content of "Smelting Steel", this is the 'law of equivalence'. Some works, ordinary People know 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.

"In the final analysis, comics are commercial comics, and the purpose is to get more readers to pay. Therefore, even if there is heavy content, we must take care of the readers' feelings as much as possible and process it in a certain way. Or, cut it quickly Please use the shortest space to describe this matter, or add 'seasoning' to make the 'taste' of the comics less 'bitter'." Ye Hexu explained.
