Chapter XV. Meetings of this newspaper

"It's so late, who ......" was thinking of the critical moment, but his train of thought was disturbed.

He couldn't think of anyone who would come to him so late, his only friend, Zhang Huaishan, lived on the other side of the city, and he didn't have a girlfriend.

It can't be a ghost, right...... Lear snorted.

When he looked back, it turned out that the wind from the electric fan was blowing on his back, no wonder it felt cold.

He was wearing slippers, and he opened the cat's eye to peek in, and the chubby landlady was standing in the doorway.

It turns out that it's not a beautiful female ghost...... Li Er didn't know what he was expecting, he opened the door, "Aunt Chen, is there something wrong?"

The landlady was wearing pajamas, chewing gum, and said in Mandarin with a Chinese accent: "What's the matter, isn't it just about paying the rent?" ”

"Auntie, I've already paid it this month. Li Er looked puzzled.

"This month, the price has risen to 600. And you have to pay a year's rent before you can rent a house from next month, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

"Huh? Why did you suddenly change the rules? ”

The landlady glared at Li Er with raised eyebrows, obviously Li Er was a head taller than him, and she insisted on tiptoeing to give Li Er a disdainful look.

She shouted in a characteristic loud voice: "What, no money, you can't live without money, we have people here who want to live." Do you know how much money we have risen here? If you can't live and can't pay the rent, don't blame me for driving people out!"

As soon as Li Er wanted to say something, he heard the son of the landlady downstairs shouting at the top of his voice: "Mom, where have you gone, I'm hungry!"

The landlady immediately said downstairs, "Oh, good son. If you're tired of playing games, Mom will cook noodles for you to eat......"

Turning her head, the landlady instantly changed her face and crackled at Li Er with a speed comparable to that of a machine gun: "Anyway, I already informed you." I'm still in a hurry to play mahjong, call me when you have the money ready, don't give it to Lao Chen, remember!"

As soon as she said that, the landlady went away like a gust of wind.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, so it may be the current situation.

Three hundred to six hundred, it can be doubled. But even so, it's cheaper than anywhere else.

Lear sat on the bed. He couldn't move, and he couldn't find a second place to live temporarily. But what should I do, the 30,000 deposit is gone, and he has such a small salary a month, how can he make more money?

He thought of the company's bonuses, and it seemed that the top ten editors in charge had bonuses, but he didn't know how many. Even if he doesn't have a bonus, he can find time to do some part-time work.

He remembers that when he attended the training course in college, he still had the Mandarin first-class certificate he obtained, and he also kept the business card of the brokerage company. If you can't do it, you can still be a voice actor.

By the way, now they like to use the foreign word from Fuso, voice actor, to refer to voice actors. It's true that the current voice actors are also different from the older generation of voice actors, and many have begun to take the idolization route.

There are also magazines dedicated to introducing new voice actors, and there are voice actor fan groups similar to celebrity fan clubs. Li Er gradually felt that he couldn't keep up with the shape.

But this has nothing to do with him, it is difficult for a male voice actor to get ahead without a certain amount of luck, and many of his classmates who were in a training class with him at the time can only greet their seniors every day in the brokerage company.

Among those people, none of them can support themselves with dubbing now, and many have to do some odd jobs to barely make ends meet. Compared to them, Lear at least has a stable job.

The salary of dubbing is not low, even if it is a trick, there are thousands of issues. The premise is that the audition will be passed.

And it doesn't take much time, and the animation recorded separately can be recorded in a few minutes.

Of course, it is definitely tiring to work and work part-time at the same time, but in order to survive the economic crisis, it doesn't matter if you are tired. Isn't being young just daring to fight?

……

The next day, the editorial office of "Shangjing Boy".

Li Er looked at the clock hanging on the wall and poured himself another glass of water. Boiled water is boiled down the throat and try to lower the concentration of stomach acid in the stomach.

Since he started work, he has been drinking water constantly so that his stomach does not growl.

Li Er didn't expect that his body would protest so much just because he didn't eat breakfast for a day. I actually killed a few pots of meat last night.

Is it because I'm too nervous?

Today is the day when the results of this newspaper are announced. All editors know that the results of the flash report are for reference only, and only the results of this newspaper will determine a qiΔ“.

1,000 questionnaires for a total of 3,000 votes. It's been two days since the last flash report.

Many young readers like to send the survey in a few days, and this part of the audience is the real backbone. Therefore, some works, after the results of this newspaper come out, will have a big decline in ranking.

There was even a work that was the first in the flash report, and only the eighth place was placed after the real results came out. At that time, the editors in charge of this work were stupid.

The target age group of "Wanyou King" is nine to sixteen years old. Many of them do not have the means to pay out of pocket and have to have their parents mail questionnaires. And this level is precisely the weakness of "Wanyou King".

I remember that because of the words of "Russian Turntable", "Wanyou King" was boycotted by the PDA (Joint Parents' Committee).

Many parents remembered the comic "Wanyou King" because of this, and it also affected the votes of "Wanyou King".

And "Wanyou King" is a comic that has been serialized for many years, and it has not been very popular. Compared with "Bad Luck Superman", which was newly serialized and got a cover color page, and "Adventure King", which has been a signature comic for many years, it has no advantage at all.

And from the next episode, "Wanyou King" is really exciting, not only the duel between Wanyou and the Sky Dragon holder, but also a big killing weapon carefully prepared by Li Er, aiming at those readers who don't read shonen comics.

If he loses in this sentence, it is not a crime of war.

But Li Er and Takahashi have no way out! Takahashi has exhausted his savings in order to print duel monster cards, and once the serialization of "Wanyou King" is cut in half, he will also lose his income. When the time comes, the high cost of renting a studio will bankrupt him!

As for Li Er, he is just a rookie editor who has just taken on the role of editor-in-charge. If "Wanyou King" is cut in half in his hands, it will undoubtedly cast a shadow on his future.

The editor-in-chief will also mark him as saying big things!

Then he will be finished, and it will be impossible for him to get ahead in "Weekly Shangjing Boy" in this life.

His original intention of becoming a comic editor could not be realized!

Now, the only way out is to make "Wanyou King" the number one in this newspaper, and crush all the comics on "Shangjing Boy" in a grand manner!

In this way, even if it is the editor-in-chief, it is impossible to continue to cut "Wanyou King" in half, as long as "Wanyou King" is not cut in half, it will naturally soar into the sky!

The clock pointed to eleven o'clock, Bai An walked out of the office door, and Li Er stood up without waiting for Bai Editor-in-Chief to call him.

The fourth group was still the last to enter the conference room, and Li Er was still sitting last because of his seniority. But this time, no one looked at him with a look of disdain and whispered.

The editor-in-chief was still wearing the short-sleeved shirt he wore at the last meeting, which made Li Er want to complain, Editor-in-Chief Bao, haven't you taken a shower in the past two days.

The editor-in-chief didn't know the fragmentary thoughts in his heart, but he still put on the pose of the deputy commander and said: "Today is still the same, first announce the ranking of this newspaper." Until then, let the deputy editor-in-chief routinely roll that thing in. ”

The customary thing?

Li Er looked around suspiciously, it was true that the deputy editor-in-chief who had been standing around Bao Congyun like Zhanzhao was abnormally absent today.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. The deputy editor-in-chief pushed a small car covered with red velvet cloth into the venue slowly. I don't know if it's an illusion, but Li Er seems to see more than a hundred watts of bright light radiating from the eyes of other editors.

A small hill was bulging under the cloth, and I didn't know what it was.

Is it a mooncake gift box to be sent during the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Without waiting for Li Er to guess a few more answers, the deputy editor-in-chief directly opened the curtain. I saw a piece of red light, which almost shook off Li Er's 24K titanium alloy dog eyes.

Money, a lot of money. Bundles of neatly bundled banknotes lay quietly on small carts, stacked high on top of each other. It is estimated with the naked eye that there are hundreds of thousands.

A ticket of 100 yuan may not seem exciting at all on its own, but when the amount is as large as one chengdΓΉ, it will trigger a qualitative change. Lear admits unexpectedly that his eyes are also attracted by the pile of things outside of him.

How much Peking duck, pancake fruit, Manchu and Han full feast, Mongolian barbecue must be this...... Don't say, Nima is hungry again.

"Ahem. Bao Congyun coughed lightly, "Okay, don't look at it." The accountant has already counted the number of bonuses for each group this month, and it should be your point that will not be less. ”

"I don't know how many ...... we have this time," the editor, who was sitting next to Lear, whispered to the person next to him.

"I don't have much hope anyway. ”

It turns out that the money is their bonus. Li Er suddenly realized.

He thought it was like a normal salary, and it went straight to the card. But the cash looks a lot more shocking.

"The results of this newspaper are now announced ......"

The total number of votes of 3,000 votes has made everyone's votes rise, and the top 10 has occasionally changed, but the magnitude is not large, there are still a few people.

The fourth to tenth places have been announced, and one group will win three places, and the rest will be divided between the second and third groups.

Li Er didn't hear the name of "Wanyou King", which means that "Wanyou Wang" is either not in the top three, or it will fall behind the tenth place.

Hopefully the former.

"Third place is...... The fourth group of "Bad Luck Superman", 354 votes. ”

"What you just said about our group?" a group of four editors who were playing with their phones underneath had not yet reacted.

"Third in this newspaper, congratulations to Zou Gu! Someone directly started to congratulate.

"Third ......" The corners of Zou Gu's mouth twitched, he was going to the first at first, but he didn't expect the new serialization + opening color page, so he changed to the third. I don't know what the ranking of "Wanyou King" is, if its ranking is lower than "Bad Luck Superman", it will be good.

"Quiet!" Bao helped his glasses, "In addition, there is another work that is tied for third place with "Bad Luck Superman". ”

The editors were a little surprised, because the same vote is so rare.

"It should be "Wanyou King", after all, when it was first announced, it was the second and third with "Bad Luck Superman". ”

"No matter how bad "Adventure King" is, it won't be defeated by a half-cut work. ”

The editors thought in their hearts.

"And the work tied for third place is a group of "The King of Adventure", three hundred and fifty-four votes!" Bao Congyun's face was already as black as the bottom of the pot, but now, it was actually black out of the sky, and he announced through gritted teeth: "First place, "Wanyou King"! Six hundred and twenty-one votes!"

"What!"

"More than 300 votes!"

"The last work that received more than 600 votes seems to be "The Young Grandmaster". That work was a big seller, and it won 100 million copies!"

"Quiet, quiet, quiet!" Bao Congyun said loudly, but found that the editors' discussions had not stopped at all, and he slapped the table hard in anger, and suddenly, the world was quiet.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ At the last flash meeting, we announced the decision to cut Wanyou King in half. Bao Congyun was a little helpless, he really didn't want to retract his decision, which would lose his prestige as a leader too much.

"But "Wanyou King" has achieved such excellent results today, and we must give it recognition. So I decided to let "Wanyou King" continue to be serialized ......"

"Great!" Lear couldn't help but cheer in his heart.

"But ......" didn't make Li Er happy for too long, Bao Congyun said: "Rules are rules after all, so the end of the three episodes of "Wanyou King" remains the same, but after the three episodes, it can continue to be serialized in the supplement of "Weekly Shangjing Teenager NEXT". ”
