Chapter 464 Difficulties

? Xu Jie rarely drinks alcohol. He feels that as an editor, he always puts work first.

But after leaving Zuo Yuan's residence, he also began to doubt whether he was a qualified editor.

Zuo Yuan has been in his hands for almost a year, but in the end he didn't even publish a decent comic.

It seems that Zuo Yuan's style is not suitable for "Comic Future", but he believes that this has a lot to do with him.

"Is it true that some cartoonists who can't achieve results are their talents? It is possible that their talents were cut off by some mediocre editors."

This is what Tong Yu said on the show. Xu Jie thought it was very harsh at the time. The more I think about it now, the more I feel that this sentence makes sense.

He may very well be the mediocre author.

After drinking a glass of tequila, it feels like my throat is burning.

"You rarely come to the bar, what happened today?"

A very familiar voice came to Xu Jie's ear, he turned his head, Yan Fei sat beside him, and ordered a cocktail from the bartender.

"You don't come here too often?"

"Yeah. I just came back from Teacher Yuchuan. I'm a little tired, so I just have a drink. Do you have something on your mind?" Yan Fei asked.

"Am I a sucker—not as a person, but as an editor."

"Fortunately, Teacher Luo Zheng's work is very good." Yan Fei explained.

"However, Mr. Zuo ruined my hands." Xu Jie said disappointedly.

"There is no goalkeeper who does not concede a goal, so there is no editor who does not miss the mark. Wang Wenhong is so good, didn't he also see Mr. Shen?"

"But... Mr. Zuo is going to leave "Comic Future"." Xu Jie said depressedly.

"Ah? Uh..." Yan Fei was at a loss for words for a moment, and she paused for about five or six seconds before saying, "If there is a need to make changes, there is a way."

"Even so, I still feel sorry for him." Xu Jie sighed, "His ex-wife took his daughter away and threw him a sum of money.

Break it off with him. "

Xu Jie briefly described what happened in Zuo Yuan's family.

"Is this a good thing?" Yan Fei thought over and over again, and felt that this sentence was the most suitable for her, so she said softly.

"Huh?" Xu Jie was taken aback, and looked at Yan Fei with scarlet eyes, "Xiao Yan, I'm serious, Xiao Chan is really gone."

"I'm also serious. He doesn't have the conditions and energy now to raise a child. Besides, do you think it's really appropriate for a child to be with a group of assistants all the time? Teacher Zuo's energy will also be distracted?"

"That's right." Xu Jie had to admit what Yan Fei said.

"Teacher Zuo now has a sum of money in his hand and has no children by his side. The current situation is much better than before. Although emotionally speaking, it is difficult for people to accept, but from a rational point of view, the current situation brings The effect is like this. What's more, Teacher Zuo's lack of grades should be related to taking care of the children. I really can't think of a husband and wife, why they want to divorce. "

Xu Jie nodded, Yan Fei's words made sense, no matter whether Zuo Yuan's wife intended it or not, Zuo Yuan's current situation is better than before.

"What is Teacher Zuo going to do now?" Yan Fei asked.

"Change to a smaller magazine..."

"It's okay... the tree is moved to death, and the people are moved to live. Changing the platform may have a good effect." Yan Fei said softly.

"Hey, I hope Teacher Zuo can make it through?" Xu Jie sighed.

...

Throughout October, apart from the end of "The Legend of the Dragon King", the best news for "Comic Future" should be that "Game" won the "Best Foreign Comic Award". However, under the impact of Duoman.com, the influence of this award... To be precise, the influence of the comic festival is also gradually decreasing.

Due to the end of "Dragon King", the sales volume of "Comic Future" dropped again by 200,000 copies. At the beginning of November, it was less than 4.5 million copies, hitting the lowest point of magazine sales again.

Sales of "Leap" and "Manga Fly" also fell, down to about 2.8 million copies-they were not affected as much as "Comic Future".

The entire "Comic Future" magazine is under pressure from declining sales.

This pressure even reaches authors and their studios, through the editors.

Shen Xin didn't care, because the comics industry would not die out, it would just be transferred from one medium to another, so the pressure on him was not too great, not to mention that despite the decline in sales of the magazine, "Steel Refined" On the contrary, the sales volume of the booklet has increased slightly. The sales volume of volume 8 just released exceeded 650,000 copies in a single week, and the sales volume in the 11 districts exceeded 400,000 copies in a single week.

You know, this is still the sales volume achieved when the animation has not been released. In China, it is only lower than a few comics that have been driven by animation and their sales have increased.

In this situation, Shen Xin's studio did not feel the pressure, and the assistants still finished their work on time as usual, drinking tea and chatting in their spare time.

"The latest popularity list, "Sirius" has reached the top." Gao Hang pouted, "I don't think it's interesting, just fight and kill."

"Sentimental, free, color pages... These three points are all occupied, and it is not a big problem to get the first place. I am curious, why "Shengwu Academy" can break into the top five." Hang Jian said depressed.

"Of course Mr. Fu's painting is good. In fact, Mr. Duan's painting skills are not as good as Mr. Fu's." Seeing that Hang Jian had a prejudice against Bo Bo, Liu Rui immediately retorted.

Duan Ping and Fu Bo choose one, she will definitely stand with Fu Bo.

"But Teacher Fu's painting style is similar to "Y's"." Gao Hang whispered.

"What kind of resemblance?" Liu Rui flatly denied.

"Don't you deny it. When Mr. Shen drew "Y's", I served as Mr. Shen's assistant. I also drew the lines for "Y's" and helped create "Y's". It's too familiar."

Shen Xin upstairs saw this and shook her head helplessly.

It is useless to argue about these things. Painting style is like writing style, it is a way of expressing stories. It cannot be said that he writes in this style and others are not allowed to use it.

There is no such reason.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Xi Muhan came out of the office with a serious face.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xin asked puzzled.

"Whether the script has passed or not, District 11 has not given any information at all." Xi Muhan said depressedly.

"You are too anxious. There are so many scripts... more than 100,000 words, it will definitely take a while to translate into Japanese."

"I know, but I'm still nervous." Xi Muhan puffed his cheeks and frowned slightly.

"It's okay...the script is of high quality."

These are not just polite words, Su Han and Xi Muhan, the two of them did work together to create a high-quality script. Of course, if it needs to be made into an animation, the production team needs to make changes, but most of the plots are only cut and fine-tuned, and the script is not changed. No changes to the script will be made.
