Chapter Eighty-Seven: The War of the Editorial Department

Today is Friday, no matter how noisy the Internet is, how to boycott "Death" and Teacher Qingbai, the major magazines are on the market according to the usual rhythm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

This issue of "Cat Look" is on the cusp, and in one morning, it sold less than 1,000 copies, a decrease of 10,000 times from last week's results.

The editorial staff sat around the round table in the conference room, and Xiaoyuan stood next to the editor-in-chief holding a teapot and refilling the cups for everyone.

"Editor-in-Chief, we ......"

The name of the person who spoke was Zheng Yang, and he was an old seniority of the cat, and everyone said that if He Yang was promoted, Zheng Yang would be the best candidate to replace him.

Under his hand is a once popular cartoonist wanderer. His first work, called "The Strongest Waver", carried the banner of Shiki at the end of the second golden age of that year, that is, the Suda period, and kept the sales of Shiki at the standard of 8 million copies.

Five years ago, "The Strongest Waver" ended. After that,His second work died violently,It can be seen from the collection of Xiao Zhengshang,Everyone's satisfaction with him is only 6.1%,This result is not at all up to the level of his previous work,You must know that "The Strongest Waver" was completely suppressed by Shouda Gangfeng's pen "Ten-faced Buddha",It still got 22.03% praise,After the editorial department discussed with him,He gave up this work。

He was not willing to let himself fail like this.

After that, he took out seven or eight works one after another, but unfortunately, the satisfaction of these works is not high, and the satisfaction rate of the works that are now being serialized has reached the lowest level in history of 4.3%.

He knew that his talents had been exhausted.

As the Wanderer's grades declined, Zheng Yang also fell into the cold, even if Zheng Yang had the ability, he was just an editor who was suitable for Shoucheng, and this was what the previous editor said to Liu Chengfeng when he left.

Just when the wanderer was about to quit the comic world, Mr. Qingbai's "Grim Reaper" was born. In just five words, it led the declining "Cat Look" to the height of ten years ago, and even faintly surpassed it.

After watching "Grim Reaper", the wanderer seemed to be enlightened, and he finally understood why his work was so poor.

The reason is that he has been living in the glory of the past, and the painting style, plot, and dialogue can't keep up with the times, and as the readers who like him grow up, they are bent by society, and comics have become a past that they only occasionally take out to recall. It is not common for a new generation of children to like it, and it is normal for the work to fail.

After that, the wanderers who adjusted the plot and painting style sprung up and snatched 11.1% satisfaction from the hands of "Bleach ".

With the resurgence of the wanderer, Zheng Yang once again had the right to speak in the editorial department.

"We ...... Do you want to dissociate yourself from "Bleach "?"

Zheng Yang had no choice but to say this. At this time, if he does some crisis public relations and dissociates himself from the other party, maybe "Cat See" can survive this frenzy of national boycott, and he doesn't want his beloved magazine to be ruined in his own hands.

Liu Chengfeng looked around, saw that everyone had an expression of approval on their faces, and sighed in his heart, no wonder the old editor-in-chief chose me, a newcomer, to be the editor-in-chief.

Looking at Xiao Yuan, who was standing aside with a teapot, Liu Chengfeng asked, "Xiao Yuan, although you are a newcomer, you are the editor in charge of Teacher Qingbai, and your opinion is also very important." ”

Hearing this, Madoka was stunned. Normally, she doesn't have a chance to speak at such conferences because she's a newcomer. The first strength of a comic editor is closely related to the qualifications of the editor and the strength of the cartoonists under him. When the results of "Death" crushed the Quartet, she was qualified to sit in this conference room and express her opinions, but she felt that she had only been in the industry for half a year, and she was a newcomer no matter how she looked at it, so she rejected this proposal.

She knows that even if she becomes the editor in charge of a popular cartoonist, everyone looks down on her. At the editorial meeting every Friday, I don't ask for my opinion, and when I meet in private, I mostly just say compliments.

The teapot in his hand shook, and the liquid that flew out of the spout dripped on the table, and Madoka, who found this, quickly apologized, and wiped it with paper from the backpack next to him.

The editors at the bottom looked at such a clumsy Xiaoyuan, and their opinions on her were even greater, but because the editor-in-chief hadn't spoken yet, everyone had to endure it.

After wiping the table, Madoka stood next to the editor-in-chief and took a deep breath. She knew that this was the best opportunity to express herself, and at the same time, the only thing she could do for Wang Ming.

"I think it's an opportunity!"

As soon as Madoka's words came out, the whole house was shocked.

In this case, the sales of "Cat Look" have reached the lowest in history, lower than the 7,700 copies at the time of its inception, and you tell me that this is an opportunity?

Zheng Yang sat on Xiaoyuan's left hand side, and shook his head imperceptibly, sure enough, he was a young man, and he didn't even analyze the current situation well for the sake of his position, it seems that after this matter is over, her editing career will also end with it.

Liu Chengfeng listened to the whispers below, frowned and drank: "Don't argue, are you still cultural people? Don't treat the conference room as a vegetable market! ”

With the approval of the editor-in-chief, a red glow rose on Xiaoyuan's cheeks, which was an excited look.

"Five days ago, I met with Mr. Qingbai, talked to him about the recent form, told him that "Death" had no choice but to cut it in half, and asked him if he had any new works. He said he was preparing for it to be produced by Sunday, and then he told me that it was a good time for him to be reborn with Cat See. ”

Xiaoyuan is not stupid, the purpose of the four seasons is not to take the initiative to promote the work in any way, she pushed these words on Wang Ming's head, if she dared to say that this was Liu Chengfeng's point, then she could roll up and get out.

Hearing this, Zheng Yang slapped the table heavily, stood up, and shouted: "It's a good time to be reborn from the fire? Don't be kidding! I won't gamble with you on the fate of the editorial department, please get out of ......."

"Sit down for me!"

Before Zheng Yang's words were finished, Liu Chengfeng also stood up and said calmly: "If you still recognize me as the editor-in-chief, sit down for me and listen to her." ”

Zheng Yang looked at Xiaoyuan, then at Liu Chengfeng, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, okay! Lao Tzu won't play with you anymore, you can go to whoever you like." If you are embarrassed, I will go, and I can't go?"

After speaking, Zheng Yang kicked away the chair and turned around and left the conference room.

Looking at Zheng Yang's figure, a trace of regret flashed in Liu Chengfeng's eyes, and this expression was fleeting, "Okay, Xiaoyuan, you continue." ”

Madoka nodded gratefully at the editor-in-chief, and continued, "He called this situation negative publicity!"
