Chapter Four: Wang Wenhong and His Cartoonists
Awkward!
Just now she admitted that Shen Xin's doujinshi was obtained from Wang Wenhong, but she didn't expect to meet Wang Wenhong in the blink of an eye.
If I knew this earlier, I should have told the truth.
Really, what a good person to be if you have nothing to do...
Yan Fan felt a little regretful, and at the same time hoped that Wang Wenhong would not find her.
However, being afraid of what would happen, Yan Wei was about to turn around when he saw Wang Wenhong also turned his head and looked over. Followed Yan Yan and Shen Xin to come.
"Editor Yan, long time no see." Wang Wenhong walked to Yan Yu's desk, "I heard that the sales of "New World" have dropped a bit recently, what a pity."
He said regret, but the smile on Wang Wenhong's face never disappeared.
"It's really not working." Yan Kun sighed, "The sales volume of "New World" in one month is only equivalent to the magazine sales of "Dreamer" in three months. If this continues, "New World" will definitely lose money."
Shen Xin's mouth was tight, and she managed not to laugh out loud.
These words are really too hurtful.
The sales volume of a single issue of "New World" is not much different from that of "Dreamer", but the advantage of the weekly magazine is its short release cycle, large comprehensive sales volume, and higher reader stickiness.
If "New World" is losing money, it means that "Dreamer" is also having a hard time.
Wang Wenhong's face turned black, but he quickly returned to normal. It was still a familiar professional smile, which even made Shen Xin feel a little uncomfortable. Behind the smile, there seemed to be something hidden, but he didn't intend to explain it. .
"That was before. After a while, "Dreamer" will definitely surprise you." The person behind Wang Wenhong said suddenly.
Shen Xin's gaze was also attracted to it.
Wang Wenhong's height was nearly 1.8 meters, similar to Shen Xin's, while the young man behind him was even taller.
The young man had long shattered hair and sharp eyes. He was wearing a blue T-shirt on his upper body, a silver necklace around his neck, jeans with ripped knees underneath, and a golden ring on each finger.
It looked like ordinary clothes, but Shen Xin felt that this suit, no... This young man's dress was a bit fancy and exaggerated!
This is the impression Shen Xin left after seeing this person.
"Forgive my blindness, may I ask who are you?" Yan Qu frowned.
"Well, I'm just a newcomer, and I'm not well-known, so just pretend you haven't heard of me." The man had a chuckle on his face.
Wang Wenhong chuckled twice, "Don't listen to his nonsense, his name is Chen Zijiao. I found a newcomer after a lot of effort at the fan show two days ago. In one day, he sold four Hundreds of doujinshi."
"Four hundred copies? Him?"
Shen Xin cried out in surprise.
The corners of Chen Zijiao's mouth turned up, and he glanced at Shen Xin proudly.
Due to the production cost, the price of doujinshi is usually very high, most of them are around 40 yuan to 50 yuan, and most of the doujinshi that you buy are around 30 pages. Affected by the price and the number of pages, the sales of doujinshi are generally not too high.
"The Witch" only printed forty volumes, and Shen Xin barely sold out when the sun was about to set. However, Chen Zijiao sold 400 doujinshi in one day, which can be said to be quite exaggerated.
If there is one word to describe it, it can only be "genius".
After listening to Wang Wenhong's words, Yan Yan deliberately glanced at Chen Zijiao, "It turned out to be a 'big hand'. I don't know if I have a chance to take a look at your work?"
"Big hands" are some well-known fan artists in the fan circle, with skilled painters and relatively fixed styles.
"sure,
I like beautiful women to appreciate my works. If there is a chance, I hope we can sit down and discuss the works slowly. "Chen Zijiao showed a meaningful smile.
Wang Wenhong waved his hand, "Don't listen to his nonsense, he just spent a few r18 books, but the sales volume of each book is around 500 copies."
Seeing Yan Fang's shocked expression, Wang Wenhong's expression was unavoidably smug.
He glanced at Shen Xin and asked, "Editor Yan, is this the new cartoonist you're looking for? It looks young, probably under 20 years old, right? It should be about the same age as Chen Zijiao, right? Well, I hope you don't Look, after all, not everyone is a genius."
Um?
Shen Xin suddenly felt something was wrong. He handed the fanzine of "The Witch" to Wang Wenhong at the fan show, but the other party seemed to have forgotten him.
"Teacher, I gave you the manuscript at the fan exhibition." Shen Xin said patiently.
"Really?" Wang Wenhong was taken aback for a moment, then his face showed surprise, he rubbed his eyes, looked at Shen Xin carefully, and finally got an impression, "That's right, you seem to have given me a fanzine I received too many manuscripts that day, maybe I forgot your manuscript somewhere? I’m really sorry. However, you can follow Yan’s editor, which also shows that you are lucky, work hard, and don’t let me down.”
He said sorry, but Wang Wenhong didn't mean to apologize at all.
Shen Xin frowned slightly, looked at Wang Wenhong who was smiling lightly and didn't care, clenched his fists tightly, just about to stand up to retort, but heard Yan Kun's cold voice: "Bian Wang...I'm looking forward to it Don't let me down on the 'surprise' you and your new partner have brought."
"Of course, to be honest, I am also looking forward to the cooperation with 'Big Hands'." Wang Wenhong rubbed his chin, feeling happy, "You two, I will not bother you, I hope you... cooperate, cooperate, enjoy, be happy .”
Chen Zijiao also whistled, blew a kiss to Yan Qu, and followed Wang Hongwen away with a playful smile.
Yan Fang's face was livid, and she took a deep breath only after the two of them left, and then said "sorry" to Shen Xin with an apologetic face.
"Why do you apologize?"
"Because I lied to you." Considering Shen Xin's self-esteem, Yan Yu still didn't tell the whole reason.
"Actually, I want to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I might not even have the qualifications to fight against them." Shen Xin crossed her fingers, and her skin lost its color due to too much force.
"You can also see that the relationship between "New World" and "Dreamer" is a direct competition. If there is a chance, he will definitely be taken aback. Actually, you are purely lying on the ground." Yan Lin apologized.
"Maybe, but being questioned or even ignored by others is my business." Shen Xin was a little depressed.
If Wang Wenhong said something like "the story is chaotic and messy", "the painting style is not rigorous and immature", Shen Xin might feel better. After all, these are problems that do exist in the work. But it was hard for Shen Xin to accept being directly ignored.
Ignoring is equivalent to "not existing".
Even if he was blocking the gun for the host, he still had to prove to Wang Wenhong that Wang Wenhong's view was wrong.
Seeing that Shen Xin was not happy, Yan Yu also wanted to change the subject, "It was really not easy for you to suppress your anger just now."
Hehe...why don't you want to get angry? But when I wanted to get angry, I was interrupted by you.
Shen Xin muttered in her heart.
"Although the relationship between the magazines is not very good, the news between them is very well informed. After all, we also know where our next stop will be. Quarrels can easily spread among editorial circles, which is detrimental to their future development.
"It's the prerogative of a pillar to get angry with the editor, or even with the magazine...Did I say something?"
Seeing Shen Xin's stiff face, Yan Qu shook his finger in front of Shen Xin.
"No...Of course not." Shen Xin shook her head repeatedly.
No matter which industry, if you want to have the right to speak, you must stand at the top of the industry.
Now that he has such an opportunity, he must make good use of it.
"By the way, my phone number and the address of the magazine are on the business card. After you draw the name, be sure to hand it over to me, and we will modify the name according to the specific content." Yan Kun reminded.
The editors in charge of comics are very busy, such as being responsible for the big and small matters of the cartoonist, buying food, thinking about the storyline, etc., are trivial to them. Sometimes, the editors even serve as assistants.
"I'll draw the name as soon as possible." Shen Xin felt a little confident.
Romance novel? Who the hell has ever been in love?
