Chapter 69: Declaration of War
"Declaration of war?"
Gao Hang immediately became interested.
"How do you declare war?" Yan Fei asked puzzled.
"Faltering" is not a cartoon on "New World", even if you want to trouble Chen Zijiao, it is not so easy.
"The challenge book will be based on the sales volume of the booklet. The person with the lowest sales volume will finish the manga." Shen Xin said.
Yan Fei frowned slightly, then shook her head, "It's not a good idea. Although "Y's" is gaining momentum, "Shaky" is also very popular, so you don't necessarily have a chance of winning. If you lose, "New World" will also suffer. Influence... you don't want to pull "New World" down, do you?"
The increase in sales of "New World" has a lot to do with "Y's". If "Y's" had to end because of losing the PK with "Shaky", "New World" would definitely not be able to bear the loss.
"The magazine will not agree." Yan Fei said.
"Why does the magazine have to agree?" Shen Xin snorted coldly, "I will handle this matter myself, unless you stand on the side of the magazine and tell them about it in advance."
"How is it possible? I'm worried that "Y's" will lose to "Shaky"."
"If I can't even win "Faltering", how can I draw comics? How can I win the 'Newcomer Award'?" Shen Xin asked.
Yan Fei was speechless, but she had to say that what Shen Xin said was the truth.
The cartoonist was full of confidence, and he retreated as an editor, which was really unreasonable.
Gao Hang's eyes lit up when he heard Shen Xin's words.
"Then... what do I need to do?" Yan Fei knew that Shen Xin's mind had been made up, so she also made up her mind.
"Turn off the phone and turn it on again tomorrow. Just pretend you don't know anything." Shen Xin said with a smile, "By the way, I will draw the name seriously, so please check the name carefully."
"I'm just afraid that "Y's" is not stable. Since you are so confident, I won't say anything." Yan Fei sighed, "Today is Saturday, and I will turn off my phone. I don't know anything else .”
"Thank you. Gao Hang...you don't need to come over tomorrow, because I have to redesign the name. Starting from Monday, there may be a very high-intensity work, and there will be no holiday on New Year's Day. Tomorrow, you can read more of the first volume of "Y's" , familiarize yourself with the background that often appears in it." Shen Xin said to Gao Hang.
"Understood. I will definitely get familiar with the background drawing of "Y's" as soon as possible." Gao Hang nodded with excitement on his face.
"As for you, Ms. Lu..." Shen Xin came to a workbench and handed a notebook full of dotted paper to Lu Ning, "I will mark the blank places in the manuscript, and when the time comes, What kind of dot paper to use, you have to correspond with this book one by one, I suggest you read it one or two times in advance, so as not to be in a hurry when you start working."
"I see." Lu Ning took the notebook from Shen Xin.
This book is not thick, and each page is pasted with nine types of dot paper, arranged in a nine-square grid, and a number is written on each dot paper. When she began to dot the paper online, Shen Xin also handed her the original paper with numbers written in blue pencils, and the assistant needed to find the corresponding dot paper one by one based on the numbers.
Lu Ning must remember these contents in one day.
"OK! That's it for today. Sister Yan, remember, no matter what happens tonight, don't turn on your phone." Shen Xin urged.
Yan Fei nodded anxiously.
Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin, he was neither happy nor angry, but there was expectation in his eyes.
Yan Fei returned home, followed Shen Xin's suggestion, and turned off her phone directly. Since she was really tired these two days,
Therefore, after drinking a glass of red wine, he fell asleep.
Early the next morning, when she opened her eyes, her brain was still a little dizzy, and then she remembered that Shen Xin wanted her to turn on her phone again this morning.
As soon as I turned it on, more than a dozen calls popped up, the earliest one was at two o'clock in the morning.
Yan Fei took a closer look at the number, but found that it belonged to the editor-in-chief.
broken!
Although Yan Fei didn't know what happened, Shen Xin definitely made a big commotion.
She hurriedly dialed the editor-in-chief's phone number, but before she could speak, she heard the editor-in-chief's distraught voice.
"Hey, why is your phone turned off?"
"My phone is out of battery. You also know that these two days have been busy, and you have to contact Mr. Shen's assistant..."
"Let's put aside the matter of the assistant first, turn on the computer, and log in to Teacher Shen's Weibo. After reading it, come to the magazine office immediately. The president wants to see you."
"I see."
Yan Fei took the notebook and opened Shen Xin's Weibo after turning it on.
Shen Xin's Weibo only has a few dozen words.
"Start the war x-on:陈子燥. The winner will be based on the number of separate volumes until the early morning of February 1st. The loser will finish the manga within one month."
I don't know when, there were thousands of comments below, Yan Fei even saw the editor's reply, and signaled Shen Xin to delete the post, but Shen Xin obviously ignored him. More importantly, Su Han also reposted this Weibo, and there were quite a few comments.
It is indeed inappropriate for Shen Xin to bypass the magazine, but it is the most effective method. There wasn't much entanglement between him and Chen Zijiao, but Chen Zijiao put him together, and everyone held his breath in his heart.
However, the two belong to different magazines.
It is said that colleagues are enemies, and the two magazines also want to target each other, but it is impossible to publicly tear their faces because of the two assistants' job-hopping.
It's different now, Shen Xin's Weibo directly stated that one of the two works must be finished.
In order to protect their respective signature works, the two magazines must also participate.
It is said that it is a contest between two works, but it is actually a contest between two magazines.
The loser is completely defeated and has nothing; while the winner, in addition to enjoying the victory, will also have higher popularity. And this popularity is very important for "Y's" who wants to hit the newcomer award, and it may even get rid of the market of Yunhai and enter the field of vision of domestic readers.
Teacher Shen really wants to use this incident to increase the exposure rate of "Y's" and make it enter the field of vision of domestic readers, right?
If so, is he thinking too far? Leaving aside whether he can win for sure, how can he be sure that Chen Zijiao can take up this challenge?
Wait... "Shaky" also needs the heat brought by this incident, so as to get rid of the current decline. Would Chen Zijiao agree to come down?
Yan Fei closed her notebook, changed her clothes, put on a little makeup, then carried her purse, went out of the room, took a taxi, and came to the magazine office.
The president's office is not on the same floor as the editorial department, but with the finance department.
The old president, Song Tai, is older and not in good health. He suffers from heart disease. He is usually only in charge of the editorial department and sales department, and other chores are handed over to his son.
Song Tai's attitude towards this matter will determine the direction of the whole matter to a certain extent.
Arriving at the door of the president's office, Yan Fei was inevitably a little nervous. After adjusting her breathing a little, she knocked on the door of the president's office.
"Please come in."
A slightly vicissitudes of voice came from the office.
Yan Fei pushed open the door, and in the office, an old man was sitting behind the desk, looking at her energetically.
In the room, besides the old man, there were also the editor-in-chief and a young man with his hair combed back, and they were also looking at Yan Fei at this moment.
"Come in." The editor-in-chief waved at Yan Fei.
Yan Fei took a deep breath and walked into the office.
