Chapter Eight Hundred and Eighty Eighth Group Photo
Shang Haozhi, Yu Chen and Zeng Yue looked at each other without making a sound.
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Kong Xian rolled her eyes helplessly, as if she was meddling in her own business.
"If you have nothing to do, I will leave first."
Shang Haozhi nodded, "Let's think about it again, and then contact Miss Ji and Teacher Shen."
Kong Xian left the office, Shang Haozhi asked the other two people: "You two, what do you think?"
"If possible, I would like to discuss with Mr. Lu, and try to take down the comic copyright of "Stones;Gate"." Zeng Yue said.
Lu Ning's ability to create stories is a big question mark. Since her debut, she seems to have no experience of creating alone, but her storyboarding and painting skills are also reflected in "Ding Shi".
"Ding Shi" can end with the first place in the small book, which has a lot to do with Lu Ning's strength. As for the rumors on the Internet that another person can make "Ding Shi" a hit, it's fine to listen to it, but if it's true, it's no different from a fool.
What's more, the quality of "Steins;Gate" is very high. When he evaluates it as a masterpiece, he doesn't just say it casually, but he really thinks so in his heart.
Now that the opportunity is in front of him, Zeng Yue must find a way to win "Stones;Gate".
"What if Teacher Lu doesn't sign the contract?"
After hearing Kong Xian and Zeng Yue's evaluation of "Steins;Gate" as a "magic work", Yu Chen was also a little moved, but the lightness of "Steins;Gate" had already been serialized, and "icfuture" could not get "Stones of Destiny". The full copyright of "Stone Gate", even if he is "greedy", there is nothing he can do.
"Why didn't she sign?" Zeng Yue asked puzzled.
"Exclusive contract system."
"Are you crazy!?" Zeng Yue looked at Yu Chen suspiciously, "Qingyue is not "icfuture", where is the exclusive contract system?"
Yu Chen rubbed his forehead, really confused, Qingyue can't even compare with Duoman.com, how could there be an exclusive contract system? Wouldn't the cartoonist go to Duoman.com?
It's just that Qingyue has never serialized works by a heavyweight cartoonist like Lu Ning, so he asked subconsciously, a good author must be firmly in his hands.
"I will agree to whatever conditions Duomanwang puts forward. If you don't believe me, you won't be able to get it. By the way, "The Demon King's Tutor" is definitely being serialized in Qingyue. You must not break your promise." Zeng Yue reminded.
If he wins "Steins;Gate", then he has two trump cards in his hand, Qingyue should be able to rise up and compete with Duoman.com.
"Hehe...you should look for the painting of "The Demon King's Tutor"? Teacher Shi Qun is very demanding." Yu Chen felt a little sour.
It would be great if these two comics could be serialized in "icfuture", what a pity.
"These are trivial matters. What about Mr. Shen's new work? How are you going to sign the contract?" Shang Haozhi turned the topic to Shen Xin.
"I'm not panicking about Mr. Shen." Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Shen said that he would choose a paper magazine. As long as we give the contract normally, there is no panic at all."
Anyway, "icfuture" is also the best comic magazine in China.
"Okay, one more thing, Teacher Shi Qun's new work... We must find an author with a certain strength. If possible, we must promote this new work."
"Huh? You mean..."
"Since "The Devil's Tutor" has gained a good reputation in the 11th district, it shows that Mr. Shi Qun is indeed superior to others, but his drawing skills are lagging behind. If he can create a comic that is no less than Mr. Shen's new work Therefore, the magazine will take the initiative in the game with Mr. Shen. Now, Mr. Shen is separated from all cartoonists, and we are also very passive."
Yu Chen took a deep breath and nodded slightly. He knew that Shang Haozhi just asked him to try it out, and at most he would favor resources, but he couldn't make Shen Xin fall in love with him.
How to grasp this degree is particularly critical.
Shang Haozhi glanced at Zeng Yue, seeing him looking down at his phone, he coughed: "Old Zeng,
What are you doing? "
"Uh, Mr. Shang..." Zeng Yue laughed awkwardly, "Mr. Snow posted a photo of him and Mr. Shen on Weibo."
"Huh? Then what's the matter?" Shang Haozhi asked puzzled.
"I suddenly thought, can I ask Mr. Snow to draw "The Demon King's Tutor"?" Zeng Yue's eyes were bright, expectant.
"He? He's an illustrator." Shang Haozhi shook his head.
Cartoonists are not the same as illustrators, and many illustrators can't tell stories.
"What's the matter? Don't forget, there is an original manuscript of "The Demon King's Tutoring", but Teacher Shi Qun's basic skills are not good enough, so it needs to be redrawn. It shouldn't be a big problem if Snow is responsible for the painting. Mr. Shang, I have it It is easy to have two cards, no matter what, I will play them out."
"That's true." Shang Haozhi nodded. The difficulty of redrawing "The Demon King's Tutor" is much less than that of creating a comic. Snow should be able to do it, but...
"Snow, will you agree?" Yu Chen asked.
"You can try it. However, judging from Mr. Snow's Weibo, he should want to draw the comics of "Stones;Gate". He only made concessions when Lu Ning was appointed by another. At this time, invite him, he is very helpful. Might agree to come down."
Yu Chen rolled his eyes, feeling a little sore in his heart. He also wanted Snow to serialize his works in "icfuture".
...
"Today I met Teacher Shen Zheng. I was very happy. I met my idol. It was a worry. I also met Teacher Xi. If it wasn't for the introduction by Teacher Kong Xian, I really couldn't believe that the original work of "Ding Shi" would So young and beautiful. I hoped to be able to draw the manga of "Steins;Gate", but another teacher appointed the author, I am also very sorry, I thought I had a chance (crying)."
This Weibo was accompanied by a picture, Shen Xin, Xi Muhan, Ji Yinxuan and Lu Yingxue were sitting on the sofa, and the person taking the photo was Kong Xian.
Not long after he posted on Weibo, there were a lot of comments from netizens.
"Teacher Shen is so young!?"
"No, Teacher Shen looks a little haggard."
"That's right, the hairstyle is okay, but it doesn't look energetic."
Behind these messages, Lu Yingxue also gave an explanation.
"I passed so suddenly that I didn't even prepare a gift. When I met Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen was also painting. It was really hard, so please don't worry about Mr. Shen's image. A cartoonist can give so much , I think it's really not easy."
After Lu Yingxue replied to this Weibo, some readers immediately noticed the important point.
"Mr. Snow, when will Mr. Shen's new work come out?"
"What kind of manga is Mr. Shen drawing?"
"Is there any news?"
After just over ten minutes, there were more than a hundred inquiries about Shen Xin's new work.
Lu Yingxue was speechless inwardly, usually one of his Weibo readers would leave a hundred or ten messages, but now that Shen Xin was involved, the number of messages instantly exceeded a hundred.
This is the author's influence.
Are these people addressing him?
No, it was because of Shen Xin.
Sighing, Lu Yingxue replied again.
"I really didn't ask about the new work, because I like to keep it a little mysterious. Wouldn't it be nice to give myself a surprise when the new work comes out? However, there is one thing I care about. Mr. Shen's own painting skills are already very good. I don’t think there are any domestic cartoonists who can surpass him in drawing. However, he still spends a lot of time practicing drawing, and I am looking forward to his new works.”
"Xueda, after hearing so much from you, I suddenly have expectations for Teacher Shen's new work."
"Look forward together."
"Mr. Snow, do you really not know when Mr. Shen's new book will be serialized?"
"I don't know. I don't even know the genre... No, I haven't even read the drawing, so I don't know what Teacher Shen's plan is." Lu Yingxue left a message.
"Xueda, what kind of person is Teacher Shen? Is it fierce?"
"Ms. Shen is also my senior. We are about the same age. He made his debut earlier than me. Moreover, his grades in illustration are better than mine. The character design of "God Descends" has been recognized by District 11, which is very difficult. Did it. Not to mention his achievements in comics. So, can you understand how much pressure I have when facing him? But Mr. Shen is a very good person and has no airs. Can answer very clearly, to be honest, I am attracted to fans." Lu Yingxue replied sincerely.
"Sure enough, it is exactly as I imagined. A few years ago, in order to save someone, I almost fell from upstairs. At that time, I was a fan of Teacher Shen."
"I also saw that video. Although it was not clear, I was almost scared to death."
"Such a teacher Shen, everyone should cherish it?"
Seeing these messages, Lu Yingxue also remembered that incident.
At that time, he had only been in this circle for two years, and when he saw that video, he was also frightened.
It turns out that cartoonists can still play like this?
As an insider, it's really hard not to be attracted by Shen Xin.
Just as Lu Yingxue was replying to the reader's message, his phone rang suddenly.
Glancing at the phone, he was a little taken aback when he saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hi, hello."
"Hello, is this Teacher Snow?"
"it's me."
"I'm Zeng Yue, the editor-in-chief of Qingyue, and I want to see you."
Lightly read?
Lu Yingxue was stunned for a moment, wondering what Zeng Yue wanted from him, perhaps, it would only be revealed after they met.
