The next day, the news that the Order of the Phoenix had left four-fifths of its cartoonists and that it was going to start a magazine called "Weekly Shonen Star" spread throughout Xiangjiang through major media.

Everyone is wondering what Wu Ming is crazy about, how to drive away all the cartoonists under his publishing house, you want to start a cartoon weekly, how can you start a cartoon without cartoonists. Even if the public solicitation of manuscripts is made through the media, is it still of good quality to the original group of cartoonists?

They don't understand that the "Weekly Shonen Star" that Wu Ming is going to create is a comprehensive comic weekly, and it will not only be a kind of martial arts comics, and it is useless to have so many low-level cartoonists, it will only lower the level of "Weekly Shonen Star". With his own three comics serialized on it, plus Shangguan Xiaobao's "Bruce Lee", Wu Ming is very confident in the future of "Weekly Shonen Star".

After those runaway cartoonists left, they were naturally resentful, and not only were they invited to join Yulang International, but they also went around slandering Wu Ming.

"Wu Ming is just a hairy child, relying on his good comic sales, he doesn't respect his predecessors, and only knows how to point fingers. ”

"Wu Ming, a yellow-haired kid, doesn't know how to respect teachers at all, he just knows that he insists on going his own way, so let's see how he runs a comic weekly. ”

Yulang International has obtained this group of cartoonists, and its strength has been greatly expanded. Huang Yulang's self-confidence has also swelled, and he is ready to compete with the Order of the Phoenix and run a comic weekly, but the creative method of cartoonists is still the previous assembly line creation.

"Wu Ming, this little ghost self-destroyed the Great Wall, and now the Order of the Phoenix is only left with him and Shangguan Xiaobao, the old thing, look at how he still fights with himself, hahaha!"

Huang Yulang didn't know that his Yulang International was actually already turbulent. Because the Order of the Phoenix is soliciting contributions from the entire society, and his Yulang International still uses the original cartoonists, plus the group of cartoonists who jumped from the Order of the Phoenix, it is not the turn of those comic assistants at all.

Seeing that they didn't get a chance to get ahead, those low-level comic assistants were resentful in their hearts, and they all secretly drew their own comics in private, preparing to submit them to the Order of the Phoenix. And those amateur cartoonists in society saw that only the Order of the Phoenix solicited manuscripts from the outside world, and Yulang International still used its own internal personnel, so they naturally chose the Order of the Phoenix to contribute.

For example, Zhao Rude, who worked under Shangguan Xiaobao and later switched to Yulang International, and Qiu Fulong, who once joined Yulang International, but could only leave his job and return to school due to strong opposition from his family.

……

The following week, the Order of the Phoenix ceased distribution of all of its monographs, and signed stricter long-term contracts with its cartoonists. If you want to leave at any time as before, it's impossible to have the comic copyright in your hands.

However, the cartoonists did not feel that they were at a loss, although they would be firmly trapped in the Order of the Phoenix in the future, but the Society of the Phoenix was rich and rich, and the treatment was much better than before. Even if Comic Weekly fails, it can go back to the old days.

At the same time, under the money stick of the Order of the Phoenix, various media have publicized the matter of the Order of the Phoenix's solicitation of papers, and the whole Xiangjiang can be said to be unknown to everyone. Everyone was shocked by Wu Ming's generosity, and even those cartoonists who ran away regretted it a little.

Who knew that Wu Ming actually gave such a high manuscript fee to his cartoonists, as long as he could serialize, he could live a well-off life, and he could become a wealthy class with good grades. If you can publish a popular comic, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

As long as people with a certain level of painting ability start to create, even if they can't conceive the plot, they will find people who can conceive and cooperate. Now the Order of the Phoenix receives hundreds of submissions every day, keeping the editors busy.

In the Order of the Phoenix, Wu Ming is instructing Ma Rongcheng.

"Old horse, you should draw like this...... The plot here is better ...... like this."

In order to make up the content of "Weekly Junior Star", Wu Ming not only solicited manuscripts from outside, but also asked several apprentices of Shangguan Xiaobao to try to draw some manuscripts, and they could be serialized when the level was enough. Not to mention, someone imitated Wu Ming's "Speeding YOYO" and drew a "Young YOYO King", which was recognized by most people and got a serialized position.

Wu Ming also conducted separate training for the future comic master Ma Rongcheng, and told Ma Rongcheng some of the plot ideas of Ma Rongcheng's future masterpiece "Chinese Hero". Ma Rongcheng also lived up to expectations, like a sponge, he frantically learned experience from Wu Ming, and finally succeeded in creating "Chinese Heroes".

After the unanimous determination of various editors, "Chinese Heroes" also occupies a serial position in "Weekly Junior Star".

At this time, Shangguan Xiaobao walked in.

Wu Ming and Ma Rongcheng stopped discussing and greeted each other.

"Mr. Kwong, you're here. ”

"Teacher, you're here!"

Shangguan Xiaobao nodded and replied: "Boss, we have received more than 700 submissions, although most of them are not eye-catching, but there are also a few plots and pictures that are quite good. It's enough to start a journal. ”

Wu Ming listened to Shangguan Xiaobao's news, and his face couldn't help but show joy.

"Well, it seems that our Weekly Shonen Star will be released soon. ”

Ma Rongcheng is also happy, you must know that he is also one of the serial cartoonists this time, and it is very likely that he will become famous in one fell swoop.

Wu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "The editorial department has already determined, do those contributors have the ability to carry out long-term serialization?" Don't be halfway through the serialization and suddenly break it. ”

Shangguan Xiaobao replied affirmatively: "It's all decided, most of them used to be comic assistants, and they were originally in this industry, so they have plenty of time to create." And for those short stories, we have already paid them for the manuscript. ”

"There are really talents among these comic assistants, but it's a pity that they have been suppressed by those comic book writers before, and they have no chance to show their talents. ”

Wu Ming sighed a little, his approach was really right, only by paying attention to excavating talents, can he maintain the prosperity of the Order of the Phoenix, and he doesn't have to rely on himself alone.

Shangguan Xiaobao said with some admiration: "This is all due to your courage boss, if you are like me before, you can only fail in the end." ”

"Mr. Kwong didn't have a way at that time, after all, I am also rich to be so confident, if I don't have money, I wouldn't dare to do it. Wu Ming smiled and explained.

Indeed, Shangguan Xiaobao founded so many comic newspapers and magazines, and each time it failed because of lack of funds, if there was a rich man who could support him at that time, maybe the future Hong Kong comics would not decline.
