Coming out of Zheng Yang's house, looking at the mottled shadows of the trees under the street lamp, Liu Chengfeng's eyes were a little foggy, Zheng Yang's words touched his heart, and he couldn't help but think of what had happened in the four seasons over the years.

It was late autumn one year, and you could see the green streets all year round, and it was rare to see a depression. Because of the turmoil in the ACG industry caused by the death of Master Grayflow, many small publishing houses and small societies were crushed in this earthquake and became the nourishment of large societies and large publishing houses. It's like a well, it was supposed to be able to feed ten people, but after three years of drought, the well can only feed five people now, so in order to survive, five people must be out, so the turmoil of that year has been gradually subsided from early spring to late autumn and September, because the rest of the market is enough to survive.

"Cat Look" is a journal created by Master Graystream, which is based on the homonym of the manga fan and the most popular cat in the first manga "Cats and Dogs". At the time of Gray Stream's lifetime, the entire magazine could be regarded as full of talents -- more than 40 pioneers in the comic industry, hundreds of senior staff, more than a dozen relevant editors, and a large society with the highest market share, the highest praise rate, the highest satisfaction, and the highest comic change rate in the country.

Twelve years ago, as Master Gray Stream's health deteriorated, "Cat Look" was sold to President Wang, who had just arrived in the demon capital to work hard. He just took over the magazine and immediately gained a firm foothold in this unfamiliar demon capital, and those two years were also the last remnants of the Four Seasons, and Liu Chengfeng and Zheng Yang were both characters who had experienced the peak of the Four Seasons, and no one objected to selling them to Wang Chengji back then, because he did fulfill the contract, did not restrict the development of the Four Seasons, and did not point fingers indiscriminately, which was very good, and everyone thought that they had found a suitable successor.

But with the death of Gray Stream, his disciples began to seal the pen in large quantities, and in the turbulent half a year, more than 20 masters announced that they would no longer write, and it was the choice of these people that made the comic industry go through a turbulent period of up to 8 months because of the death of Gray Stream, and also made all those who worked in the comic industry completely remember this name.

In the next two years, large publishing houses such as Phoenix, Longhua, and Shanhe have rectified one after another. Phoenix began to focus on girl-oriented comics, Longhua focused on campus, and Shanhe chose otherworldly adventures. Due to the wrong positioning, Phoenix was replaced by the later Pengcheng, Pengcheng mainly focuses on machine warfare, and it is with the theme of robots that they have become the leaders of the four major publishing houses.

Four Seasons, as the largest publishing house, suffered the most damage in this turmoil, sixteen of the more than twenty masters came from Four Seasons, so Four Seasons completely fell off the altar, although the positioning is still a juvenile hot-blooded comic, but in the gray stream master left "can not be actively promoted in any way" Under the conditions, lacking the appeal of the highly popular master, the sales of the four seasons in the wanderer's work fell sharply, and in just four years, the sales fell from nearly 30 million in the glory period to 6 or 700,000, a gap of 50 times, and it was during this period that Liu Chengfeng took over the banner from the hands of the old editor-in-chief, and he also knew the biggest secret of the four seasons.

The reason why Shiki demanded that "it should not actively promote manga works in any way" is that it itself holds the most important publicity channel.

It was a paper contract, and Party A had already filled in the name on it, leaving Party B and the date unfilled, in order to elect the king of the comic book industry and crown him, and the condition was that the audience spontaneously crowned the king.

This is the reason why the four old magazines of Longhua, Shanhe, Pengcheng and Chaoyang, which replaced the four seasons, dare not press too hard. Although I am not afraid of the pseudo-king, it is always a trouble, so it is better to use the current method to slowly squeeze the living space of the four seasons, and after it dies automatically, I will seize the royal power.

At the beginning, the old editor-in-chief tended to choose Zheng Yang, who dared to tell the truth, to take over as the editor-in-chief, but when he took over the right to appoint and remove the king from the hands of Master Graystream, he investigated for several years, and found that Zheng Yang could not endure the oppression for a long time, and if it was a last resort, he would definitely play this card, which was inconsistent with Master Graystream's last wish and original intention, so at the last moment, he chose Liu Chengfeng, who was more sleek, more resilient, and would definitely do what he promised, he was as suitable as Zheng Yang to be the editor-in-chief, and he was also more suitable for doing this.

Last year, Liu Chengfeng actually kept thinking, he had a kind of 'or just fill in the name of Teacher Yueming on this', the tragic situation of the four seasons has already shattered his persistence over the years to nothing, so he gave Teacher Yueming countless opportunities, as long as she seizes it, then this paper contract will become her bag, but unfortunately, she has never noticed this, and she misses it every time.

When her first comic "Magical Girl Beloved" ended, Liu Chengfeng planned: As long as Teacher Yue Ming still chooses the four seasons and the sales volume remains above two million a month, then this contract will be handed over to her.

It was at this time that Mr. Qingbai came out with "Death", pushing the broken Four Seasons back to the peak, with tens of millions of sales, the Four Seasons have not been seen for about eight years, and even the new editors and most of the editorial department have not seen it, and they are more like a myth.

The first words of "Death", let Liu Chengfeng's long-dormant soul revive again, this comic is based on juvenile comics, the word handsome is brought to the extreme, and after listening to the introduction of Mr. Qingbai, he found that the worldview of the work is also extremely grand, that is to say, "Death" must be a long comic that can be serialized for many years, and he was even thinking at that time: If the light teacher can stabilize his grades, then this crown might as well be worn on him......

It's a pity that the serialization of "Bleach has not been around for two months", and the sales of the work are on the rise, because of an accident that was banned by the Ministry of Culture.

President Wang said that this is a music company behind the scenes, wanting to involve Mr. Qingbai's energy in the production of the V family, but Liu Chengfeng knows that there must be those old magazines in this, they definitely don't want to see someone crowned, and it is such a new generation with popular works.

Through the ban of "Death", Liu Chengfeng completely calmed down. He knew that the current Four Seasons no longer had the right to forcibly crown him, and his current strength could only take advantage of the trend, so he extinguished the idea of this.

When he heard that Mr. Qingbai proposed negative publicity, he was very happy, because he found the only loophole in the oath to restrain himself, so he supported Xiaoyuan in the editorial meeting, and even did not hesitate to offend Zheng Yang and force him away.

Now, Mr. Qingbai's new work "One Piece" has been published, and his heart has been completely put down.

What happened to the pirates? The pirates can also be crowned kings, as long as this manga can continue to develop according to this plot, and can do this without the agreement in hand, then it is better to let it develop.

Waking up from his memories, Liu Chengfeng found that he had been standing in front of Zhengyang's house for almost an hour. Looking back at the still bright lights on the fourth floor, he smiled: "I will definitely call everyone back, it is different now than in the past." ”
