Chapter 661 Yu Chen's Situation
As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.
Before, Yu Chen never worried about the top comic of "Comic Future".
The audience of "Shounen Future" is younger readers. At the same time, it also provides excellent cartoonists for "Comic Future".
But now, it is different. As the editor-in-chief of "Comic Future", the responsibility on his shoulders is very heavy. All the senior management of the company are watching the results of "Comic Future".
One wrong move, and he might lose his job.
"Comic Future" not only faces old rivals like Duoman.com and "Manga Fly", but also faces competition from its own app.
It's funny to say that it's a company, and it belongs to a big department, so there should be no competition. However, the people above don’t think so, and tend to focus on things like “the turnover of “Comic Future” has decreased, and the turnover of the app has increased”.
Isn't this nonsense?
"Comic Future" is available, almost all apps are available, and the price is still cheap, so it is no wonder that it is not affected.
Fortunately, the strong serialization of "Steel Refining" gave "Comic Future" a certain advantage. Taking "Steel Refining" as an example, if you want to see the latest serialization of "Steel Refining" on the app, it will take at least two or three months.
Therefore, "Comic Future" can also guarantee its own sales.
The App is now lightly published, Yu Chen also knows, but it has little to do with the magazine, because of the layout, the magazine cannot serially lightly.
This puts pressure on "Comic Future" again-if there is no "Steel Refining", it is estimated that many readers will give up "Comic Future".
The app can not only read manga, but also read light comics. Even if there are light manga adaptations, they are mostly serialized on the app-although it is only selected high-quality and popular light ones, and it has not been confirmed yet-how do readers choose magazines.
This new year, Yu Chen's life was not stable, but after thinking about it,
But couldn't think of a safe way.
After starting to work, he immediately convened a meeting of all editors, focusing on how the magazine should "break through" in the "post-Steel Refining" era.
"The performance of "The King of Rock and Roll" is stable, but in the final analysis, it is still a niche comic. Of course, if it is a phenomenon-level comic like "Soul of Chess", it may also be able to stabilize the current situation, but the reality is not like this... …The situation of "Restaurant of the Other World" is similar. The magazine cannot lack such comics, but it is unrealistic to want it to remain the first small book and compete with "Age of the Gods".
"The best grade now is "Steel Refining", but it's a pity that it will end soon. Xiaoyan, can you discuss with Mr. Shen and ask him to extend it a little bit. It doesn't need to be 40 pages... 20 pages are fine." Yu Yu Chen looked at Yan Fei with a wry smile.
If there were more than twenty words, he wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Now there are less than ten chapters left, and the time is really tight.
"Of course Mr. Shen has no problem, but the animation has been following? A little slack, the plot of the animation surpassed the manga. The entire name of "Steel Refining" has been passed to Orochi, can't the animation end before the manga? Then who Still watching "Steel Refining"?" Yan Fei tapped the table twice with a ballpoint pen, "The accident in the middle of the year was really terrible, and, for some reason, the serialization date of "Steel Refining" was later There was a three-week delay."
Yan Fei's words were full of complaints and blame, and Yu Chen could hear it, but he was not the editor-in-chief of "Comic Future" at that time, so he couldn't decide the opinions of the higher-ups.
"So, do you have any ideas for Mr. Shen's new book?" Yu Chen asked again.
"I heard it's an evil manga." Yan Fei whispered, and glanced at Yu Chen, but saw his face change instantly.
"Evil...evil comics?" Yu Chen rubbed his forehead, "It's very risky to change genre suddenly. Different types of comics have different routines. Mr. Shen's Wangdao comics are very good, why do you want to switch genres? Isn't that right? The smoke bomb that Mr. Shen put?"
Yan Fei also doesn't believe that evil manga can be more popular than benevolent manga, but it's one thing for her not to believe it, and another thing to be questioned by others.
Besides, she also served as the editor in charge of "Game", and has accumulated a certain amount of experience in this type of comics.
If Shen Xin really wanted to create evil manga, she would of course spare no effort to help Shen Xin.
So, after hearing Yu Chen's words, Yan Fei immediately retorted: "Mr. Yu, that's not the case. Mr. Shen is really preparing evil comics. He is currently creating "Steel Refining" while searching for information and looking for inspiration.
"If other authors change the subject matter, I may remain skeptical, but if it is Mr. Shen, I am willing to believe him. Since his debut, the three comics drawn by Mr. Shen include love, sports and blood. The manga scores are good. I think his evil manga is also fine."
Yu Chen glanced at Yan Fei, but said nothing.
Of course he knew the achievements of "Y's" and "Soul of Chess", and also recognized the quality of these two comics.
However, Shen Xin's current position is different, and other people's requirements for him are also different.
"Y's" is serialized in a second-tier magazine, so for "Y's", it is not difficult for "Y's" to become a signboard of a second-tier magazine. Of course, the quality of "Soul of Chess" is also very good, but when "Soul of Chess" was serialized, there was also "Legend of the Dragon King", and "Hunting Abyss" was also at its peak. Even if "Soul of Chess" fails, it will not have much impact on the magazine.
However, it is different now.
Wang Yunze has gone far to Manga, and Ye Hexu has not released any new work yet, so the situation of "Comic Future" is very critical.
If Shen Xin can produce another comic that is as popular as "Steel Refining", and Ye Hexu can produce a high-level work, perhaps "Comic Future" can stabilize the current situation.
However, judging from Yan Fei's attitude, Shen Xin has made up her mind.
As a newly appointed editor-in-chief, he really has no way to influence Shen Xin's opinion.
"Mr. Shen also knows that the next work is very important, so I may submit a short story to test the water first. If the effect is not good, I may change the genre..."
"Short story?" Yu Chen was stunned for a moment, his mind a little dazed.
Let Shen Xin publish short comics in "Comic Future"?
With Shen Xin's identity and status, it's ok to just post a long story, why should I post a short one?
Uh, but, in order to reduce the risk, it is indeed possible to publish a short story to see everyone's reaction... This is also a good thing for the magazine.
"That's it. If Teacher Shen is willing, you can submit short comics first. Xiaoyan, I will trouble you, and you must discuss the plot with Teacher Shen repeatedly." Yu Chen reminded.
"no problem."
One comic is definitely not enough, and another comic is needed to carry "Comic Future".
"How is Teacher Ye?" Yu Chen looked at Jian Xiaomei again.
"I'm thinking about a new work, and it should be coming out soon." Jian Xiaomei said quickly.
Yu Chen's face softened a lot, "If possible, please ask Teacher Ye to serialize it quickly."
"Got it." Jian Xiaomei nodded repeatedly.
