The Pleiadians' plan is actually very simple.

As Qiu Fengmao said, "Huaying Comics" was founded too late, at least ten years later than other comics magazines that have already taken shape now. When the comics market has been basically divided up, it is different from "Baiyun Comics".

"It is undoubtedly very difficult for established comic weekly magazines such as "Competition for the Market".

Although Mu Xingxing knows very little about comic magazines, he is not so arrogant as to think that he can easily defeat other established comic magazines or even enter the Western market by just taking out a work.

The charm of the Sherlock Holmes series is undoubted, but its own limitations make it impossible for it to bring stable sales to "Huaying Comics" in a short period of time. The most important thing is that the audience group corresponding to suspense reasoning is different from Huaying Animation.

The youth-oriented animation that has always been the main focus is completely opposite.

Under such circumstances, the comic who was really responsible for boosting sales and opening up the situation in the early days of "Huaying Comics" must do two things:

First, the audience must have a large degree of overlap with the fan base of Huaying Animation.

Secondly, the subject matter is not limited, but it must have certain similarities with the Sherlock Holmes series in some aspects, and this commonality is the core theme of "Pictured Comics".

There are not many novels or comics that can achieve these two points at the same time. Even if there are, they are not the type that can open up the situation in a short period of time. For this reason, Mu Xingxing roughly scanned the relevant and irrelevant works in the system mall.

, I actually found an article that fits the current situation——

As Mu Xingxing finished speaking, several editors present immediately turned over the materials in their hands. Less than two seconds later, another comic-related story outline appeared in front of them.

Compared with the rather heavy Sherlock Holmes series, this comic, which has been awarded popular recognition by the Pleiades and is trying to support sales, seems to be much thinner. It only briefly outlines the story outline, features of the work, and specific scripts.

It has nothing to do with character——

Qiu Fengmao was startled for a moment, and soon realized the reason: his boss was still an animation director after all, and he couldn't have too much time to serialize comics, let alone double them. Obviously, this second comic

, Muxuexing is planned to be completed by other comics authors.

This thought only flashed through his mind and was quickly forgotten.

Compared with "who and which comic book author should be responsible", the key now is to first determine whether this idea has the ability to generate sales.

When his eyes fell on the synopsis of the second comic, Qiu Fengmao subconsciously raised his head and looked at the familiar senior editor next to him with an expression of surprise.

“…Capture…Las Vegas?”

No one does not know the famous entertainment capital of the world - this resort centered on the gambling industry is world-famous. Combined with the characteristics of the city itself, the meaning of this comic name is also obvious.

Ready to come out——

"This subject is... gambling?" One of the editors frowned and said with some uncertainty.

Mu Xingxing lowered his head slightly, and his eyes also turned to the story outline on the table. The corner of his mouth raised an obvious arc, and he corrected: "If possible, I hope you will understand it as - between top geniuses.

A kind of game duel.”

Qiu Fengmao said nothing. He chose to continue reading in silence.

In a sense, the second comic chosen by Mujiuxing is not from any novel or movie from another world, but a real incident that happened in the parallel world called Earth.

The protagonist of the story studied at MIT and was a mathematical genius who was extremely good at bit-metric analysis. He was invited by his classmates to join a card counting system group - the "MIT Blackjack Group".

Relying on the card-counting ability that is as accurate as "Intel chips", the protagonist and his friends traveled to major casinos in Las Vegas and were invincible. In order to prevent identity leakage and ensure sustainable development, the MIT Blackjack Team will conduct

Physical disguise to avoid being recognized by the casino group.

One family, two families, three families...

As more and more different casinos suffered hemorrhages, the groups behind the casinos gradually realized that something was wrong, and they began to realize that the customers who caused their hemorrhages might actually be the same group of people.

In order to find out the identities of these "store smashers", various groups have hired well-known private detectives to conduct investigations and analyses. The outline of the story written by Mu Xingxing is the MIT Blackjack Team and the private detectives hired by the group.

Showdowns in different casinos.

At the end of the story, with the help of advanced facial recognition software, all casinos blacklisted all members of the mit21 team, banning the three of them from entering the casinos they operated. The mit21 team took the money they easily obtained

10 million US dollars walked away.

"It's interesting," Qiu Fengmao stared at the table without blinking, with a thoughtful look on his face: "What is the focus of this comic?"

Mu Xiuxing smiled slightly and did not answer this question. In fact, Qiu Fengmao did not need to answer - after he raised this question as if talking to himself, he quickly found the answer in the features of the subsequent works.

Judging from the synopsis of the story, this comic still has considerable advantages:

For example, the protagonist of the story is a college student, which is consistent with the original market of Huaying animation. From the name, this theme can also be said to be quite rare, but it is much more attractive than simple suspense reasoning. The most important thing is,

Its essence is still the same thing that teenagers like——

There are confusing card counting formulas here, such as counting ten and high and low. The protagonists sit in front of the gambling table, their brains are running rapidly, and they lightly push the beautiful metal weights forward. They lower their eyes and yawn,

Even the careless movements of his right hand when supporting his chin are hints that only his companions can understand.

However, in his early twenties, he leisurely traveled around the world's casinos. One day he was a tennis enthusiast, and the next he was a businessman in suits and ties. He talked and laughed happily, playing tricks on the group and the private detectives sent by the other party. Finally, in

When the goal is achieved, he turns around calmly and walks away.

At the end of the day, it’s really just one sentence.

Just be handsome and that's it.

Mu Xingxing did not say this clearly, but it was very obvious in the synopsis of the story. Qiu Fengmao could not fail to see it. His expression became more focused and serious, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised - combined with the previous Sherlock Holmes series, he

I probably understand Mu Xingxing’s intention.

Huaying Comics has just started. The comic style is too complicated and inconvenient. It really needs one of various styles and themes, but it is not suitable for the development of a comic weekly. For the stable development of the magazine itself, Huaying Comics is the best and must be determined.

A fixed comic theme.

For example, the main theme of "Baiyun Comics" is ancient fantasy, the core of "Qianyue Comics" is romantic love, the core of "Fire Spirit Comics" is young blood, etc.

The core of Huaying comics is——

"It doesn't take a survey to show that, as far as I know, the vast majority of readers and viewers will have a considerable degree of preference for characters with superior IQs," Mu Xingxing said: "They want to see such characters win, and when they like such people

It seems to readers and viewers that they are omnipotent and everything is under their control."

For example, Sherlock Holmes can quickly deduce a series of clues in a complete logical chain through basic deduction methods just by looking at the person coming.

Another example is the trio of protagonists who easily conquered the entire Las Vegas while sitting leisurely at the gaming table.

"Okay," Qiu Fengmao said quickly while thinking: "So this is the main purpose of Huaying Comics? You can use a slogan like 'Comics for all smart people'..."

This slightly clichéd statement aroused faint chuckles in the conference room. Qiu Fengmao was annoyed: "Okay, I just said it casually. You know what I meant. I will give you a more specific slogan."

Let's discuss it later." He said, turning his gaze to Muxiuxing again, and asked directly: "What do you think of these two comics specifically?"

"I will personally write the Sherlock Holmes series, and I will rely on you to arrange the assistants. As for the capture of Las Vegas..." Mu Xing hesitated for a while, and then said: "I am only responsible for the script of the second comic, and the specific author of the comic is

You make the arrangements."

This arrangement was within Qiu Fengmao's expectation. He nodded: "What about the length?"

Mu Xingxing pondered: "The length of the second comic should not be too long, and it is difficult to write a long story on this subject. If nothing else, it should be a middle chapter. When this comic is completed, the Sherlock Holmes series should also be able to be a perfect successor...

…or surpass its popularity.”

In fact, taking into account some movie fans who are really not interested in mystery themes, Mu Xingxing has actually thought about the comic to follow after the completion of "Las Vegas Attack".

It must have a high-IQ showdown, please young readers, and at the same time, it must have the potential to help Huaying Comics further expand the market. When it comes to themes that meet these three points at the same time, they will undoubtedly become popular in later generations, with both horror and excitement.

Unlimited flow of wonderful layouts.

Until now, Mu Xingxing still clearly remembers the shock when he first came into contact with this kind of subject matter - there is no doubt that as long as the characters and layout can be guaranteed to be exciting, the first infinite horror comic will be a masterpiece.

It will explode 100% of the time, and it will be a big explosion.

Of course, according to current plans, this will probably happen next year at the earliest.

Putting back his wandering thoughts, Mu Xingxing smiled: "In addition, I would like to correct one more point. The painting comics are not really without foundation."

"To celebrate the birth of "Kage Comics", the first four weekly issues of "Kage Comics" will come with official limited editions of "My Hero Academia", "Cardcaptor Sakura", "Madoka Magica" and "Expedition Girls"

Peripherals, such as keychains, bookmarks, etc.”
