Chapter 208 of the text volume "Pink Girl"

Next chapter

"Alas, a woman's youth is only a few short years. ”

"Alas, the charm of a woman is shorter. ”

"How long does a woman's charm last on average?"

"The length of a man's gaze on you is the length of your charm. ”

……

"To be honest, I've never counted how many times I've been in love. ”

"You'd better figure it out. ”

"Why?"

"You can count it as a mistress, but you can't count it out as a slut. ”

……

At the end of March, a four-panel comic series called "Pink Girl" quietly appeared on Maizi's Weibo.

The concise painting style and simple dialogue outline the epitome of modern urban men and women.

One is a "marriage maniac" who wants to marry any man; the other is a "strong woman" who wants to work but not love, the other is a "heartthrob" who wants love but not marriage, and a "naïve girl" who can't figure out what a man is.

The four distinct characters in the comics each represent four distinct views of love and life of urban women.

With Maizi's popularity in the comic industry, her fame in the hearts of fans, and the promotion of Mai, Ah Zheng, and Xiao Yuer's Weibo, as well as free and other reasons, it has attracted many readers.

The simple dialogue, pointing out the ups and downs of men and women in the face of love and marriage, and the humorous and spicy effect contained in it, resonates with readers.

In less than a week, the number of Maizi Weibo followers has increased by more than 100,000.

In response to strong fan demand, after three days of serialization, the manga was increased from one per day to five per day.

Maizi's Weibo, since the official release of "I Believe", has returned to its former dullness.

Now that a four-panel comic has suddenly been serialized, it immediately attracted the attention of the comic industry.

Aiman Culture.

General Manager's Office.

The new editor-in-chief of "Long Love" magazine stood in front of Pei Pengbing, the general manager, and said respectfully: "Mr. Pei, Maizi serialized "Pink Girl" on Weibo, and it seems that the effect is not bad. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I think if it works, we can sign a contract and try to dig up the wheat to our company. Feiyang Publishing House is far worse than us, and their bid is definitely not as good as ours. ”

In business, everything is about pursuing more benefits.

Even if Maizi and "Long Love" magazine used to have a very unpleasant quarrel, there is no need to miss the hen that lays golden eggs because of anger, right?

In the final analysis, the editor-in-chief is also for the sake of "Manman Love" magazine and for the benefit of Aiman culture.

Pei Pengbing is not a straw bag, he thought for a while: "Do you think the four-panel comic is still funny?"

In the last century, four-panel comics were once popular, and newspapers opened special columns for serialization.

However, with the development of the times, especially the invasion of Japanese comics, the four-panel comic, which uses four screens to complete a small story or a creative idea, is gradually declining.

It's not that there is no market for four-panel comics, but the economic benefits brought by four-panel comics are far inferior to long-form serialized comics with hundreds or even thousands of words.

The comic carrier could not make more money, so it could only reduce the author's manuscript fee, and the author could not make money, so he had to give up the four-panel comic and switch to the direction of long-form serialized comics.

Can Maizi's "Pink Girl" revive a four-panel comic?

The editor-in-chief is not optimistic.

He asked yì to sign "Pink Girl" just to win the wheat.

Maizi is not a person, there is a studio behind it, this is the final conclusion of the manga industry based on the completely different painting styles of "Flower Man" and "Naruto".

The third style of painting shown in "Pink Girl" is the best proof!

signed "Pink Girl" and bought horse bones.

"Flower Man" produced by Maizi Studio was serialized on "Flappy Youth", and "Hokage" was serialized on "Shonen Jump", why can't another manga be serialized on "Long Love"?

Everyone has money to make, isn't it?

Pei Pengbing smacked his lips: "Can you contact Maizi?"

If I could get in touch, I would have beaten him up and peed!

Since last year, his brother-in-law, Zhang Kai, the director of security of Aiman Culture, has been looking for someone to inquire about Maizi's true identity and intends to retaliate. It's been almost a year, and I haven't found out the slightest news.

If you can get in touch with him, it just saves me trouble.

When the time comes, I'll find someone to beat him up first, and then sign a contract!

The editor-in-chief was stupid and naïve: "I'll try it and see if I can contact him through Guò Weibo." ”

……

Yang Linfei has also had a headache with "Pink Girl" in the past two days.

Like the editor-in-chief of "Long Love" magazine, he is also not optimistic about the four-panel comic market, but the problem is that the author of "Pink Girl" is Maizi.

For most of the year, Feiyang Publishing House was able to turn over the salted fish, relying entirely on wheat and wheat.

Now that Maizi is serializing "Pink Girl" on Weibo, he doesn't care, will he seem ungrateful?

It's better to ask your daughter.

On Friday morning, the family had breakfast.

Yang Linfei asked, "Mi Mi, did Mr. Maizi say anything when he gave you a draft?"

Yang Mi picked up the white porridge and said weakly: "I didn't say anything." ”

"Didn't say serialized or something?"

"Nope. ”

"What should you do if you are listless early in the morning and go to school?"

"No more, I'll go to school. ”

"You don't want to listen to you......"

Yang Qiuling stopped her husband: "Mi Mi seems to have something on her mind recently, and she has been depressed. Tomorrow weekend, how about we take her to the amusement park, and I'll ask her when I get back. ”

"Okay, my daughter is older, you care more, I have to call Maizi and ask him about his intention to sign "Pink Girl". ”

After breakfast, Yang Linfei drove to the publishing house, briefly explained a few words, and dialed Mai Xiaoyu's mobile phone.

On the phone, Mai Xiaoyu heard him ask about "Pink Girl", and casually said that he had not thought about signing a contract for publication. I just want to serialize it for free on Weibo, which can be regarded as giving back to the fans who support me.

Hanging up the phone, Yang Lin couldn't help but be suspicious.

Maizi doesn't seem to be in high spirits, and Mi Mi has also had something on his mind in the past two days, will they ......

He thought about it too much, and Mai Xiaoyu was not very interested, because today was his mother's death day.

Wan'anli, Xiangshan South Road.

Wan'an Cemetery.

In front of Mai Xiaoyu's mother's grave, there are various foods that she loved to eat before her death.

Mai Yingxing's eyes were moist, squatting in front of the tombstone and burning paper money, his mouth chattering non-stop.

"Huiling, my son is back, I came to see you with my son......"

"You don't have to worry about him getting injured in a fight anymore, he's grown up now and he's a boss......"

"He also found a girlfriend, I have seen, very beautiful and gentle, and will definitely be as virtuous as you in the future, a good wife and mother......"

In the past six or seven years, this is the first time that Mai Xiaoyu and his son have come to the grave to pay respects together.

Mai Xiaoyu stood aside, his eyes red, and watched silently.

Liu Xiaoli walked up to him and said softly, "Wheat, your father knows that you come back to see your mother every year today." He was afraid that your father and son would quarrel in front of your mother, which would make her uneasy, so he chose to visit your mother's grave every year on the Qingming Festival. ”

Mai Xiaoyu trembled lightly when he heard this, walked over and squatted beside Mai Yingying, took the paper money from his hand and threw it into the brazier, and choked up: "Mom, my dad and I have come to see you......" (To be continued.) )
