Chapter 48: The only exception
In the Longguo Bookstore, Zhang Liang is doing nothing to sort out the bookshelves that have been messed up by customers, and inserting the works back into place one by one according to the labels. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Above his head, there is a small rear projection, a TV dedicated to playing two-dimensional information.
Looking at the news about the Spring Festival broadcast by some news media on TV, a trace of envy flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes: "I hope I can get off work early today and catch up with the night of the Spring Festival." ”
Yesterday's spring festival was a grand occasion, Zhang Liang heard about it, he regretted very much that he didn't see it, if God gave him another chance to do it again, I want to say: "Please leave me a ticket for the night show!"
Although I can't see the scene, at least there is a recording and broadcast chat to comfort me, although the atmosphere is very different from the live broadcast, but because of the barrage, Zhang Liang still watched it with relish. When the song climaxes, pause the progress, brush the singer's name a few times, and post a sigh or something, it feels similar to the scene...... If it weren't for the tears in his eyes, it might have been more convincing.
Among the songs of the V family, his favorite is the thousand-year-old recipe ode sung by Luo Tianyi, but the most impressive is the majestic and blissful Pure Land.
When I listened to the majestic hall, I was at home, and the sound of the stereo was turned on very loudly, and the sound of panting happened to be heard by my mother who got up to go to the toilet...... At that time, I was so embarrassed, I looked at my mother: I understand, I understand, my son has grown up...... Zhang Liang almost collapsed! I'm really listening to the song, Mom, listen to my explanation!!
The second song is the Pure Land of Bliss, with charming dancing, energetic drums, perfect singing and dreamlike special effects, Zhang Liang feels that he is in love! he fell in love with the woman who seduced him, but she was unwilling to marry me......
After standing in place and smirking twice, Zhang Liang came to the comic area.
This morning, the cashier at the bar said that the bookstore had entered a new batch of comic books, as a person who likes comics, Zhang Liang is ready to have a sneak peek, otherwise why would he be this salesman?
Coming to the bookshelf, Zhang Liang first glanced at it, wanting to see if there was any kind of comic that could attract him just by the name of the work, but he had just seen half of it, as if he had seen something incredible, and his eyes widened: "Isn't it wrong?"
He pulled out a comic book with a black cover that was inconspicuous in the single book, wiped his eyes, and after confirming that he was not mistaken, he said in surprise: "Isn't this "Bleach Hell"?
At this moment, a middle-aged unloader heard Zhang Liang's words, and said with a smile while packing up the cardboard boxes scattered on the ground: "Children, it seems that you have only been chasing comics from Four Seasons Publishing House in recent years, am I talking about it?"
Listening to the unloader's words, Zhang Liang's eyes lit up: "Yo, I didn't see it, uncle, you also like comics?"
"Hey, don't mention it, I was too obsessed with comics when I was a child, so I ended up here, but life is also very happy!"
Although he was full of sighs about his past life, he had a smile on his face, a smile of satisfaction.
Even though the uncle's hearty smile is very infectious, the question still has to be asked: "So, uncle, what do you mean by this? How do you know that I have only been chasing the Four Seasons comics in recent years?"
"Four Seasons never advertises in any form for their works or cartoonists. ”
"How can such a thing happen?"
…………
Those who are familiar with the Four Seasons know that they do not promote any of their works, and if you want to know relevant news, you have to check the official website of the Four Seasons on the first day of every month, which is the consistent style of the Four Seasons Publishing House, and this style makes some new authors stay away from this established publishing house.
Because of the lack of fresh blood for many years, coupled with the exodus and retirement of old cartoonists, the four seasons gradually declined.
At this time, in the lounge behind the Tianwang exhibition area, Xiaoyuan blocked his own editor-in-chief, and saw him sitting there leisurely drinking tea, not in a hurry at all.
"Editor-in-chief, why don't you look anxious at all? Today, the single book of the Grim Reaper has begun to be sold nationwide, aren't you worried at all?"
Looking at Madoka, who was a little out of breath because of the violent running, Momiji smiled and said, "What's the hurry? It's been like this all these years, wouldn't it be nice to wait for the reader's word of mouth to ferment." It's okay, you sit down and drink saliva first. ”
Thinking of the tradition of the four seasons, while admiring it, he suggested, "Drink water or something, but I think we should make an exception for "Bleach " once." ”
"Make an exception, what kind of exception?" Madoka's words made Momiji scratch his head, the four seasons have made enough exceptions on "Death", and the content of just one sentence is placed at the bottom of the box, and only five words are published in a single book, etc.
"Does the other party have any opinions? That's why you test yourself through Madoka?"
"I think we should promote more information about "Bleach ", you know, now the single book has been on the market for half a morning, and the data reported by major dealers shows that the sales of "Bleach " are only 30,000 copies, which is really ......."
"No!" Before Madoka finished speaking, Momiji directly interrupted the other party, "I won't agree to this alone, you die of this heart." ”
"Why?" Madoka didn't understand, it was clear that it would be beneficial for both parties to do this, and the quality of "Bleach " was there, and it wouldn't tarnish the reputation of Shiki, so why couldn't it be promoted?
Looking at the puzzled look on Xiaoyuan's face, Momiji sighed and said, "I have been the editor-in-chief for nearly ten years, will I not know the gap between the works with publicity and the works without publicity? The most important thing is not that we don't publicize it, but that he is not qualified enough to make an exception for us." ”
"Then who is enough? Xia He, the voice of the sea, the red cherry blossom or the yellow spring?" At this time, Madoka was really angry. If you say that our tradition can't be broken, forget it, just find another opportunity for yourself, when she heard the words of lack of qualifications, she couldn't help but say a word to the editor-in-chief.
said in one breath that four cartoonists who have recently become popular want to vent the evil anger in their hearts. However, what Xiaoyuan didn't expect was that the editor-in-chief said that these four people were not qualified.
Madoka felt like she was going crazy, and she gave up and asked, "Then who is enough?"
A slight smile suddenly appeared on Momiji's face, and he said with a wistful voice: "The four seasons only make an exception for one person, and that is the father of comics - Master Gray Stream!"
