Chapter 1213: Winter

In winter, after New Year's Day, the climate in Hongchuan is also getting colder.

Pedestrians walking on the street were tightly wrapped in cotton-padded clothes, and hid themselves in the cotton-padded clothes.

A girl in her early twenties came out of the editorial office of "icFuture", looked back at the building behind her, and sighed helplessly.

After "" ended, the sales of "icFuture" fell all the way. In just 4 months, the sales volume of the magazine dropped by 600,000 to 700,000 copies. In addition to the end of "The Demon", the sales volume fell below 3 million copies in an instant.

This was hard to imagine before.

But even so, "icFuture" is still the largest comic magazine in China, and the standards for selecting manuscripts have not been lowered.

Even though she was already familiar with the editor in charge of "icFuture", she still couldn't serialize it in "icFuture".

The editor gave her two options. First, go to Qingyue to submit manuscripts. As one of the best comic platforms in China, Qingyue is still the best choice for comic lovers; Come out and contribute again.

In fact, there is another way, the editor didn't say, but she knows that it is to sign a contract with a studio or a comic company, let them negotiate a contract with the comic platform, and draw comics by herself.

But she rejected this approach from the beginning because "the upper limit is too low".

The income of a work will be divided layer by layer, and the money that really falls into her hands is very small. Instead of this, it is better to fight.

Moreover, although the Cartoonists Association has made various promises to mediate the relationship between cartoonists and studios, the purpose of establishing studios or comic companies is also to make money. Cartoonists who are truly qualified to be serialized in "icFuture" , It is impossible for them to let go, the contract is very tight.

She'd heard about it from friends, so she didn't take studio jobs unless it was absolutely necessary.

Alas, it's really difficult to eat now.

The girl sighed, and was about to leave the building where "icFuture" was located temporarily.

Since she failed to be serialized in "icFuture", she needs to find a part-time job. After all, she can't starve to death before her dreams are completed, right?

At this moment, the door of the building behind him was opened, and a woman in a work suit came out in a hurry.

Seeing the girl for a moment, he asked, "I thought you were gone?"

"Uh, I'm about to leave." The girl was taken aback when she saw the man, and said casually, "Miss Wu, where are you going?"

"I made an appointment with Teacher Lu Ning and Teacher Su Han, and I'm going to talk to them." Wu Xiaoli said casually.

"Then is there a high possibility that their works will be serialized?"

"Should it be possible?" Wu Xiaoli shook her head, "But there are other well-known cartoonists who are going to contribute, so competition is inevitable."

"Who is there?"

"There is also Teacher Qiuqian's new work, which is also under preparation. I heard that it will be submitted in the next few days. A magazine can only serialize 20 comics. How can the competition not be fierce? So, don't be discouraged, sometimes It really doesn’t necessarily mean that the work is bad, but sometimes, it really needs luck. If you can stagger these two comics, your work may have a chance to be serialized after revision...but...it’s not certain. The current "icFuture" has a lot of good cartoonists, after all, in China, "icFuture" is the only platform that can produce comics with an average volume of more than 3 million volumes."

"That's it..." After hearing Wu Xiaoli's words, the girl was inevitably disappointed. After all, the platform and promotional works of "icFuture" are the best among many platforms in China, and at the same time, they also have the highest income ceiling.

As long as you want to prove yourself, the best place to go is undoubtedly "icFuture", and the absence of such a monster as "" means that "icFuture" will continue to hold a manga to succeed "", so that everyone will have a chance up.

Therefore, many cartoonists are eyeing this opportunity, but "icFuture" is very clear that the only one who can really fill this hole is Shen Xin.

Seeing that the girl was silent, Wu Xiaoli nodded slightly, "I want to meet the two teachers first..."

"Miss Wu, can you take me there? Can I meet the two teachers? It's good to be their assistant." The girl asked quickly.

"You want to see them?" Wu Xiaoli asked in surprise.

The girls nodded repeatedly.

"Sorry, I want to communicate with them first."

It's really impolite to take a stranger there hastily, and Wu Xiaoli didn't dare to agree directly.

The girl nodded her head lightly, but she was very disturbed inside.

If she can work as an assistant for a well-known cartoonist, she can accept it, because she can learn something, and she can also ask the other party to check the comics she plans to submit.

After communicating with the other party, Wu Xiaoli turned her head and said to the girl, "You are really right. The two teachers do lack assistants. Moreover, because Teacher Lu Ning is a female cartoonist, she only needs female assistants."

"Really?" The girl was overjoyed.

"Well. But, I'm going to take the subway, if you want to come, come here?"

The girl nodded again and again, and followed Wu Xiaoli to the subway station.

Lu Ning also moved out of Shen Xin's studio after "The Girl Through Time" was finished, not because Shen Xin wouldn't let her work there, but simply because she felt that she couldn't stay any longer.

At that time, she had already saved a lot of money on the rent, and now that she had the funds, of course she chose to rent another apartment.

However, the house she rented was also owned by Shen Xin, which was the studio where Shen Xin serialized "Soul of Chess" and "Steel Refining". It was not because the price would be discounted, but because the environment of the house was really good. There are two floors of small buildings in the big house, and there are balconies. Shen Xin's original workbench in the office is still there, which can save a lot of trouble.

She originally wanted to buy the house, but after asking the price, she had to stick out her tongue and never bring up the subject again.

After so many years, the house price has already doubled several times, and it is quite difficult for her to save the money to buy this house.

Wu Xiaoli knocked on the studio, and a tall woman opened the door.

When the girl saw this woman, she was amazed by her excellent temperament, and at the same time, she could see her identity - famous author, expert in reasoning, Su Han.

"Teacher Su came very early." Wu Xiaoli closed the door casually.

"Where is it? I'm temporarily living here now. There are more vacant houses, so it's more convenient for us to talk about names... If I had known that the rooms were so cheap back then, I would have done the same thing. I regret it." Su Han glanced behind Wu Xiaoli The girl didn't make a sound, but turned around and walked upstairs, "Lu Ning is waiting for you upstairs, come here?"

The girl was a little cautious, but she still followed Wu Xiaoli to the second floor.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: 13
