Chapter 421 Busy Editing
Shang Haozhi rubbed his eyes, feeling a sense of powerlessness.
If what Shen Xin said is true, then "comic future"... no, it is a paper magazine that is already at a great disadvantage compared to web comics.
The low price is very attractive to readers, and by using the Internet, cartoonists can also have close contact with readers, and at the same time, more readers can pay attention to their works.
Compared with the Internet, magazines seem to be in a disadvantaged position.
"Since you have such an advantage...why didn't you accept Tong Yu's invitation?" Shang Haozhi looked at Shen Xin suspiciously.
"There is a beginning and an end." Shen Xin explained, ""Smelting Steel" will not end in the next few years. Instead of worrying about me, you might as well care about other authors."
Shang Haozhi rubbed his chin, nodded slightly, "I see, thank you."
"This is the minimum professional ethics, you don't need to thank me." Shen Xin waved, "I hope "comic future" can tide over the difficulties."
"It will." Shang Haozhi nodded, "Since Mr. Shen is fine here, I can rest assured. By the way, there will be a coloring page next month. I will let you know when it will be."
"Thank you."
After Shang Haozhi learned of Shen Xin's attitude, he was not in the mood to stay here anymore.
The magazine still has a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. He must get the guarantee from other cartoonists again, and at the same time, he has to face Feng Shuo's next "offensive".
Wang Wenhong watched Shang Haozhi hurried downstairs, looked back at Shen Xin, and opened his mouth, "I have some things of my own right now, please give me a little more time..."
"knew,
I'm fine here, so you go about your own business first? "Shen Xin nodded.
When both of them left the studio, Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin puzzled, "Brother Xin, what does Wang Wenhong mean?"
"What else do you mean? It's nothing more than being too busy recently, so the number of visits has decreased. However, the relationship between the editor and the author should be like this?" Shen Xin stretched her waist, "Okay, let's start working too? Suddenly today So many people came, so much time wasted."
"Too."
Xi Muhan glanced out the window, the sun was setting and it was going to be evening in a blink of an eye.
After dinner, Shen Xin sent the last line draft of the day to Gao Hang, and then went to another workbench to draw the line draft of "God's Fall".
It took more than a week to draw, and the line draft is only a dozen sketches of people. This made Shen Xin feel that designing characters for the game is not easy.
In particular, the attention to European and American clothing and accessories, such as casual clothes and armor for knights, clothes for monarchs, and women's clothes... These contents are very cumbersome, and it also gave him a headache.
Fortunately, with the help of Xi Muhan, although this part of the drawing is somewhat difficult, it can still go on smoothly.
The drafts were placed in the corner of the desk one by one, and soon a stack was piled up.
Xi Muhan sent his assistant away, turned off the lights downstairs, returned to the second floor, looked at Shen Xin who was sitting in front of the drawing board, drawing a line draft, and said softly, "Brother Xin... I'll rest first."
"Um."
"You should also pay attention to rest..." Xi Muhan was a little worried.
"Understood." Shen Xin replied subconsciously, the paintbrush in her hand was still sliding quickly on the drawing paper.
Xi Muhan was worried, but seeing Shen Xin's energy on the drawing board, he didn't say anything.
After staying in the house for about ten minutes, Xi Muhan couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up, went to the study on one side, took a book of mythology, and came to his workbench on the second floor.
"Why don't you sleep?" Shen Xin pulled out a sketch on the drawing board and put it aside.
"You work so hard, I can't fall behind." Xi Muhan bit her lip.
Shen Xin smiled at the corner of her mouth, did not speak, took out a blank paper, and continued to draw.
...
After Shang Haozhi returned to the company, it was already night.
The documents he pushed to the ground were picked up, and the broken notebook was also placed on the table.
At that time, he was only angry and shocked, but now he is in a calm mood, and he would rather not have dropped his laptop at that time - buying a new computer is still a small matter, the key is the data in it.
He can only find time to pull out the computer's hard drive.
The next day, when everyone in the editorial department arrived, Shang Haozhi told Jian Xiaomei and Hu Ke to keep abreast of Ye Hexu and Shi Yan's news, and contact him if there was any disturbance.
As for Yu Chuanyao, he is actually the author of "Young Leap", so it is not so easy for Tong Yu to dig him.
During the break, Shang Haozhi drank a cup of coffee with Jia Hui and comforted him.
"Please tell Mr. Wang that I want to meet him soon."
"Um?"
"Let's see if he has really made up his mind. As long as he doesn't sign the contract, there is still room for maneuver. Besides, "The Legend of the Dragon King" is also his masterpiece. I hope that in the long run, it will not be unfinished."
Jia Hui opened his mouth slightly, and finally bowed his head and said sorry.
"Tong Yu... I also beat him up. If Mr. Wang insists on leaving, there is nothing we can do. We can only minimize the loss caused by his leaving. We don't have time to be depressed. Since someone looks down on us, then we You have to prove it." Shang Haozhi patted Jia Hui on the shoulder.
The atmosphere in the editorial department was oppressive, and everyone knew that "comic future" was about to enter the "post-"Dragon King"" era. By then, the magazine's sales would decline, which was almost a certainty.
To this end, each editor wants to do his best to help "comic future".
Wang Wenhong has been paying attention to "Holy Martial Academy" all the time, and he also knows the agreement that Fu Bo said - before June, "Holy Martial Academy" became the most popular comic on the Internet.
However, from the current point of view, this possibility is almost zero. Although "Holy Martial Academy" is free, it is the name after all. This alone has eliminated a large number of graphic parties.
The first few pages are all comics of such quality as "The Legend of the Dragon King", "Hunting Abyss", "Steel Refining", and "Game". If "Holy Martial Academy" is the original manuscript and it is completely free, maybe there is still a chance to compete for the first place.
However, it is not easy to break into the top20 in March.
The comics in front of "Holy Martial Academy" are almost all the signatures of major magazines, even if it moves one more position, it will be extremely difficult, let alone become the number one.
Yan Fei didn't understand why Wang Wenhong was so calm.
"Didn't you want to sign 'Helix'?"
"Yes, but this model is also very novel, and I want to see its potential." Wang Wenhong said seriously.
"Are you stupid? When it really shows the potential to be a big hit, you still need to dig it? Other magazines or companies have already done it. Now it has entered the top 20. Believe it or not, there is definitely a company that wants to play him. .”
Wang Wenhong nodded, "I admit that you are right, but it is not easy for other companies to sign him. This person has a high spirit."
"How do you know?" Yan Fei was puzzled.
"I invited him, but he rejected it. Maybe the editor-in-chief is needed." Wang Wenhong glanced at Shang Haozhi.
Some time ago, Shang Haozhi had been very busy, until recently he had a little free time.
