Chapter 587 Is "The Hunting Abyss" Coming to an End?

"Within 20 chapters?" Jian Xiaomei looked surprised.

"Yeah. Probably the first half of the year?" Ye Hexu raised his head, "At first, I said that I would start a new book, but you guys didn't want to. Fortunately, the result of "Hunting Abyss" is this kind of result. ..."

"What's wrong with this kind of result? It's already pretty good to be able to get the second and third places in "Comic Future" steadily." Jian Xiaomei was puzzled.

"However, the gap with "Smelting Steel" is getting bigger and bigger, isn't it?" Ye Hexu turned to look at Jian Xiaomei, "If the goal is not number one, why should I continue to draw?"

Jian Xiao brows at a loss for words.

She also knows that the situation of "Hunting Abyss" is indeed very stable, and the results have always been good, but the story has long been weak. This is an indisputable fact. Not only the plot, but other aspects, especially the world structure and power system, collapsed very badly .

It is completely impossible to rely on this comic to surpass "Steel Refining".

"Then... do you think the next comic will be better than "Hunting Abyss"?" Jian Xiaomei was a little uneasy.

"Jian Xiaomei, don't look down on me! I'm a professional cartoonist!" Ye Hexu grinned, "Tell Mr. Shang later, don't forget the agreement between me and the magazine—when I propose to finish again, I can't object."

"When will it end?"

Jian Xiaomei knew that Ye Hexu would not listen to her, so she didn't try to persuade her.

From her personal point of view, Shen Xin and "Smelting Steel" have been too bright recently... no, in the past year. In addition to being able to compete, "The King of Rock and Roll" took advantage of the weak period of "Smelting Steel" and tasted some sweetness. At other times, it is really difficult for comics to compete recklessly with "Smelting Steel".

"I'm not sure. I plan to make all the remaining names before March. The specific time... should be before July." Ye Hexu rolled his eyes and thought for a while.

"I see. I'll go to the monk and talk about it." Jian Xiaomei was exhausted. This matter was not a small matter for her and the magazine.

This is the completion of a top three work, which will definitely have a certain impact on the sales of "Comic Future".

She can't make her own decisions, after all,

The final decision was made by Shang Haozhi.

After leaving Ye Hexu's studio, Jian Xiaomei took a taxi and returned to the editorial office immediately.

Shang Haozhi was doing the annual summary, and when he saw Jian Xiaomei approaching in a hurry, he was taken aback, and before he had time to speak, he heard Jian Xiaomei say: "Editor-in-Chief, Mr. Ye said that "The Hunting Abyss" will end in about 20 episodes. At most... persist until July..."

"What!?"

Shang Haozhi cried out involuntarily.

The eyes of other editors in the room immediately fell on Shang Haozhi.

"Hunting Abyss" still has 20 episodes to finish, which is not a good thing for "Comic Future".

Shang Haozhi rubbed his forehead with his hands, feeling a little worried.

The year before last, when Duoman.com first came out, "Comic Future" encountered a crisis.

Many people believed that the root cause of that crisis was the emergence of Duoman.com, Shang Haozhi thought back afterwards that this was indeed a reason, but the more important reason was that the works were not being accepted.

Although "King of Rock and Roll" and "Restaurant in Another World" began to be serialized, it is difficult for long-form serialization to gain popularity in the early stage. At the same time, the suspension of "Hunting Abyss" and the end of "Dragon King" also made "Comic Future" lose A large number of readers.

At that time, only relying on "Steel Refining", which did not usher in a climax, was able to survive the most difficult time, so that "Comic Future" could breathe a sigh of relief.

Because of the gap in high-quality works, the readers of "Comic Future" were seriously lost, and some of them became users of Duoman.com. And "Comic Future" has not returned to the top until now.

To put it bluntly, the most important thing for a magazine is the content. If there is no good content, it will go downhill every minute.

Now due to the rise of "The King of Rock and Roll", Lu Ning and Xi Muhan's new work "Ding Shi" is also gaining momentum, and "Steel Refining" has also completed the suppression of other domestic comics. These factors have temporarily stabilized "Comic Future" down.

At this time, if "Hunting Abyss" ends, the balance that was so hard to achieve may be broken.

But what if you don't let "The Hunting Abyss" end?

This is also impossible.

If his attitude is too tough, Ye Hexu will be suspicious of the magazine, and he also signed a supplementary contract with the magazine. When "Hunting Abyss" proposes to end again, the magazine cannot refuse.

Therefore, the end of "The Hunting Abyss" is inevitable.

"Do you have any plans for Teacher Ye's new work?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"I haven't said yet... Teacher Ye will not know when the new work will come out. After all, I haven't started writing. If the time is faster, there should be a new work within the year. If it is slower, it is not impossible to wait two or three years." "Hunting Abyss" has also been serialized for six or seven years, Teacher Ye also needs to take care of his body?" Jian Xiaomei said patiently.

That's true.

Shang Haozhi sighed.

"Editor-in-Chief, what should I do?" Jian Xiaomei asked.

"How do I know?" Shang Haozhi rubbed his face, "Let him prepare the name behind and try to think of a more complete ending."

The contract has already been written, even if he doesn't want to, there is nothing he can do.

"Got it." Jian Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief.

If Shang Haozhi insisted on refusing, then she would be in a dilemma.

"Also, you should also pay attention to Teacher Ye's movements. If he comes into contact with other magazines, especially people from Duoman.com, he must report back immediately." Shang Haozhi reminded.

Ye Hexu cannot be allowed to become the next "Wang Yunze".

"Got it." Jian Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat, she almost forgot about Duoman.com.

Back at her desk, Jian Xiaomei sat down weakly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea. Zhou Xiaoming, who was sitting opposite her, turned his head and said, "Ms. Ye is going to finish "The Hunting Abyss"?"

Jian Xiaomei nodded.

Others should have heard the conversation between her and Shang Haozhi just now, so there is no need for her to hide it.

"Alexander..." Zhou Xiaoming grinned.

"Comic Future" has finally stabilized, and it is about to make waves again.

Jian Xiaomei pursed her lips, but she also had no temper. She glanced at the desk on one side, but she didn't see Yan Fei, so she asked curiously, "Where's Sister Yan?"

"Sister Yan... seems to have gone to Teacher Zuo to discuss the name of the new work." Zhou Xiaoming explained, "Isn't there a serialization meeting at the end of the month? Sister Yan wants to fight for it and come up with a work that can pass the serialization."

"New name?" Jian Xiaomei nodded slightly, but she was thinking in her mind what kind of story Zuo Yuan could draw.
