On January 26, the editorial department of Bosom Friend Manke. Since the release of "Bosom Friend", sales have repeatedly achieved good results.

By the end of 2007, the monthly circulation of "Bosom Friend" had exceeded 600,000 copies, and according to the boss's words, it would be doubled again by the end of 2008.

The reason why "Bosom Friend" has been able to achieve such good results: on the one hand, it is because the authors have good strength, and they are all senior cartoonists who like comics since they were young and have strong skills; On the other hand, there is the current domestic comics market in China, and there are still large swaths of wasteland waiting for them to reclaim, as long as they can cultivate readers' interest in reading comics, it is really not a problem to flip through them.

But of course! Although "Bosom Friend" achieved such good results in 2007, however, in the editorial department of Bosom Friend, it is not without worries.

That is, lately, there seems to be fewer and fewer authors contributing to them. Moreover, there are quite a few authors who have jumped ship to their rival, "Comic World".

"Comic World" was only a few months earlier than "Bosom Friend" in its first issue, but the strength of "Comics World" is much stronger than "Bosom Friend", and the current monthly circulation is twice that of "Bosom Friend".

"Alas, in the last month or two, our number of submissions has plummeted."

"If we don't have new authors, then we will have to eat the old bottom."

Although the 64-page "Bosom Friend" actually can't accommodate many new authors to join, if there is a lack of fresh blood to join, "Bosom Friend" will also have a headache.

"Or, advertise more." Someone suggested.

"I think more advertising is secondary, the key is that we should be kind and equal when we treat authors."

"It's all, authors who know a little bit know that we are not easy to mix here, the key is to cultivate the old author's feelings for "Bosom Friend".

"It's all some old authors who are not very strong, what's the use of keeping them, I think, they're not suitable for drawing comics at all." (At this time, Rococo her art teacher Zhao Lifeng sneezed)

"Look at it, look at it, it's because of your attitude that many old authors have been driven away by you."

"Let's not talk about this matter for now, let's talk about whether you have received any good works recently, or new authors who can polish and polish."

"Nope."

"I don't have it on my side."

All the old editors took turns to say it, and in the end, the editor-in-chief's eyes unconsciously fell on the new editor-Ran.

Ran Ran just graduated from college this year, but she likes to read comics since she was a child, whether it is domestic or foreign, Ran Ran has read a lot, and the comics piled up at home can bury herself. It's a pity, maybe it's a new editor, so most authors don't trust her very much, the number of authors who took the initiative to contact her and submit to her, Ran Ran has been coming to "Bosom Friend" for two months, and she is still a duck egg.

It's embarrassing, isn't it! In fact, don't look at the editor's lofty appearance, seriously speaking, that is, 'pulling people', only if you can pull people and have enough author resources in your hands, it is not easy to do it yourself and it is boring.

"That ......" Ranran.

"Don't be afraid, say whatever you want." Chief editor.

"I must have been unable to find a good work this month." Someone has already answered for Ranran, it is the old editor of "Bosom Friend" - Chi Guoguo.

When the editor-in-chief heard Chi Guoguo's words, he also frowned, and said, "Didn't I ask Yifeng to hand over some author resources to you?" ”

"That ......" Ranran.

"They've all run back to me." Yifeng replied at this time.

"What's going on?" The editor-in-chief asked, puzzled.

"Maybe it's a clash of ideas." Yifeng replied, "Those old authors told me that Ranran's requirements for them were too high, and after those old authors thought they were very interesting, after Ranran finished reading them, they criticized others for being worthless. ”

"Is there such a thing?" The editor-in-chief turned his head and asked Ranran again.

Ranran neither nodded nor shook her head. Because what Yifeng said, although it is not the whole truth, but it is almost like that. When Ran Ran first came to the editorial department, she herself liked comics very much, and naturally she wanted to make a masterpiece from under her hands, but it backfired, she tried hard to make those street writers become gods, but those street writers didn't understand the meaning of Ran Ran, they just thought it was difficult.

This is an inevitable mistake made by inexperienced college students, and in the final analysis, the ultimate reason for this incident is that there is a communication barrier in interpersonal communication.

However, after listening to Yifeng's words, the editor-in-chief had a different understanding.

The editor-in-chief said: "Ranran, I know that you are a college student, and you have read a lot of comics and comic-related books, but we can't be overly high." You can't take the height and level of Riman to compare with our Guoman,Although our Guoman now has a lot of defects,But,As long as you stick to it,There will definitely be progress。 In the following month, before the Chinese New Year, try to make a good serialized work! The editor-in-chief gave such a dead order to Ranran, and then moved on to the next agenda.

……

After the meeting, Ran Ran returned to her seat, and she couldn't even breathe a sigh of relief, so she continued to work hard. Contact the author, call.

Those who were scared away by her, she was embarrassed to find them back, so she could only find those who were not up to the mark, and strive to combine her creativity with the author's painting skills to create an excellent work.

Within a month, I can make at least one that can be serialized. The editor-in-chief's words were like a big stone pressing on Ranran's chest at this moment.

"Ah~ what should I do!?"

Just when Ran Ran scratched the hair on the top, she was about to go crazy.

"The editorial department of "Bosom Friend", that one is Ranran, there is your express!" Courier guy.

“？？？” Ran was stunned, but still stood up, "Here." ”

"Please sign for it."

Ran Ran quickly wrote her name, but Ran Ran said it was very strange, because she obviously didn't have any authors to make an appointment recently, and generally speaking, if the author wants to submit, she will contact the editor first, and then submit. Ran Ran then looked at the contents of the courier: comic manuscript, a copy, sender: Roselle.

The first reaction, the name 'Luoshen', Ran Ran had never even heard of it, but it was only half a second, and Ran Ran decided to open it first and take a look. And then...... Ran Ran saw the miserable style of painting.
