Chapter 59 Yan Fei's Troubles

"Y's" was a big hit.

On the weekend of the first week of release, "Y's" completed its second reprint, and this speed can be regarded as the top few in the history of "New World".

The desk calendar is also a big seller. 5,000 desk calendars were put on the market, and they were sold out quickly.

Although the magazine added other mixed magazines in the new issue of "New World", the readers didn't appreciate it. Compared with the desk calendar of "Y's", the desk calendar presented by "New World" is simply too childish.

In addition, the magazine also forgot to consider that readers who bought "Y's" did not necessarily buy "New World", and some readers would only buy single editions.

As a result, the magazine had to order another 5,000 copies.

Seeing that the surroundings of "Y's" were also affected, Shen Xin also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Yan Fei has paid a lot for this comic. If the sales are too poor, she will lose face.

After renewing the contract, starting from next month, the manuscript fee will increase, and the income will also increase. Shen Xin is also thinking, wait until next month, to raise the wages of the two assistants. During this period of time, the two of them are indeed very hard.

But now that the manuscript fee and royalties have not yet reached him, even if he wants to raise his salary, there is nothing he can do.

Qiao Yu glanced at Shen Xin secretly, frowned slightly, and continued to paint black with her head down.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Ruan Ying asked softly at the side.

"Well, I haven't heard anything about my short comics yet." Qiao Yu felt a little anxious.

"Why don't you let Teacher Shen take a look first, he can draw high-quality "Y's", so he should be able to tell whether your work is good or not?" Ruan Ying said in a low voice.

Qiao Yu smiled awkwardly, bowed her head and remained silent.

Of course he asked Shen Xin to read it, and knew that what Shen Xin said was correct, but he didn't think there was any problem with the theme he expressed.

This time, he did not hand it over to Shen Xin, but directly submitted it to Yan Fei, hoping to get approval from Yan Fei.

Yan Fei's thinking is the same as Shen Xin's. Although Qiao Yu has done justice at the end of the comic, the story is rather dark, especially the choice of life and death between the siblings, which is testing the bottom line of human nature. Such works cannot be serialized in juvenile comics at all.

Both Yan Fei and Shen Xin had a negative attitude towards this comic, which forced Qiao Yu to give up his final idea. He could only delete the part related to siblings and submit it to Yan Fei again.

This time, Yan Fei accepted the manuscript, but also told him clearly that the key to whether the manuscript can be published in the magazine is not her, but the people above it.

Will it work?

Thinking of this, Qiao Yu became more and more uneasy.

"How about...ask Teacher Shen?" Ruan Ying asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." Qiao Yu nodded, and just stood up from her seat when the phone rang.

Shen Xin raised her head and looked at Joey in astonishment.

Qiao Yu quickly took out her mobile phone from her trouser pocket, glanced at the screen of the mobile phone, and immediately relaxed her brows.

"Teacher, it's Sister Yan calling." Qiao Yu was extremely nervous.

Shen Xin nodded slightly.

Qiao Yu immediately connected the phone, and after a few simple conversations, she looked up at Shen Xin, "Teacher, Sister Yan asked me to go to the magazine office now."

"En." Shen Xin nodded slightly.

"But these jobs..." Qiao Yu pointed to the sketches on the workbench.

"It doesn't matter, I can do it myself." Zheng Ke said.

"I'm sorry today." Qiao Yu quickly packed up her tools, picked up her backpack, and rushed out of the studio.

Shen Xin looked at Qiao Yu who had closed the door, and sighed, wishing you good luck.

Generally speaking, if the submission fails, the editor usually just makes a phone call, but Yan Fei promised Shen Xin that she would try not to provoke Qiao Yu as much as possible.

That's why I thought about calling Qiao Yu to the editorial department, but there would also be a problem - Qiao Yu probably thought that her comics had a chance to be published in "New World".

It's really distressing, how should I tell him?

Yan Fei rubbed her temples with both hands, feeling a little headache.

"Sister Yan, what's the matter with you?" Xiaoli asked puzzled.

"No... just thinking about what might happen later, I have a headache." Yan Fei rubbed her face.

"Just tell the truth?" Xiaoli said with a smile.

"I'm afraid Qiao Yu will affect Teacher Shen because of this." Yan Fei sighed.

"But you have to face Qiao Yu, right?" Xiaoli reminded.

"That's right, that's why I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it." Yan Fei frowned slightly.

"Sister Yan, I think you are a little paranoid when you met Mr. Shen. You want to be perfect in everything, but you have to be clear that you didn't have this opportunity. The reason is that Mr. Gong Yan suddenly changed jobs, so, We only want to select a more talented newcomer from among the newcomers. If he fails to seize this opportunity, he just goes back to the beginning and has not lost anything. Instead, he has a chance to practice. What can he have? loss?"

"That's right. Failure to submit a manuscript is something that cartoonists have to go through. There's nothing wrong with that."

In fact, there are very few famous writers who can be serialized in magazines without the experience of failing to submit their manuscripts. Even Shen Xin was rejected by other magazines before publishing "Love Formula".

"It's just a pity that the most promising newcomer to be serialized is actually Li Jiming's cartoonist. Thinking of this, I'm not happy." Xiaoli puffed her cheeks and said angrily.

"He doesn't have a signature author under him, so he should be more attentive to cultivating new writers." Yan Fei waved her hand.

At this time, the landline placed on the desk suddenly rang, Yan Fei connected the phone, heard the news that Qiao Yu had arrived from the front desk, immediately got up, picked up the envelope containing the manuscript and left in a hurry.

In the living room, Qiao Yu had already sat down, and when she saw Yan Fei coming in, she quickly stood up.

"Sit down." Yan Fei slightly nodded.

After Qiao Yu sat down, Yan Fei pondered for a while, and felt that what Xiaoli said was true. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If you say it directly, neither party will be entangled, and then decide what to say based on Qiao Yu's attitude. Content.

Thinking of this, Yan Fei took a deep breath, "Let me just get straight to the point, unfortunately, your work failed."

"Eh?" Qiao Yu's fiery heart instantly cooled down, "Eh...wait, you mean I'm unqualified?"

"That's right." Yan Fei lowered her head.

"Hehe... I thought I could pass? Then why did Sister Yan let me come? Just tell me on the phone, why not?" Qiao Yu smiled stiffly.

Yan Fei sighed a little, she also wanted to call Qiao Yu directly.

"I want you to read the editors' comments. For you, these contents can make you grow. As an editor, I hope that the author will go up every step of the way, instead of being defeated by setbacks." Yan Fei will pretend The original envelope was placed on the table.

Qiao Yu looked at the envelope full of words and swallowed hard.
