Chapter 56: Rankings and Assistants

The two sat in the lounge and drank tea without stopping, and after a while, Cheng Yuan came over again and said, "I forgot to tell you, the ranking of the first issue of the magazine has come out." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Otherwise, the editor-in-chief would not have paid you so simply and casually. Take a look. ā€

Luo Zheng and Yao Yao had forgotten about it. After the two of them got busy, they only thought about finding an assistant to start the two comics together, and they also remembered the increase in the manuscript fee, but they just forgot that Cheng Yuan said that their manuscript fee is very likely to be linked to the ranking of the first issue.

Cheng Yuan smiled mysteriously and handed over a form.

Luo Zheng stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it with Yao Yao, and the title written in bold black orthographic Chinese characters on the top of the table was: "Tianya Comics, Black" The first issue of the popularity list.

The table has three cells in one row, one page. The first grid is slightly shorter, marked with the ranking number, the second box is filled with the name of the work, and the third box is the voting popularity statistics. Plain and clear, very clear.

Luo Zheng and Yao Yao browsed the ranking table up and down, looked at each other, and couldn't help but be surprised.

On that table, "fate/staynight" actually ranked first on the list with more than 30 votes more than "Black Blood Throne"!

"How? Incredible, right? Cheng Yuan said with a smile.

Luo Zheng and Yao Yao both nodded. Yao Yao said: "Yes. According to my conjecture and Luo Zheng's guess, no matter how good the results of "Fate" are, it will be second at most. Teacher Liang Ming's fame and strength are much higher than ours, no matter how good we are, it is impossible for us to catch up with "Black Blood Throne" at the beginning. ā€

"It's impossible to catch up at the beginning, that is, you can catch up later? You're confident enough. Cheng Yuan smiled, "Okay, you don't have to be like this, you are so confident, but you just say something that is not as modest as Teacher Liang." Believe it or not, Mr. Liang Ming heard you say this, came to look for the two of you, and cried to the two of you. ā€

Luo Zheng and Yao Yao couldn't help but laugh when they thought of Liang Ming's five openings and funny energy.

Luo Zheng asked, "Then what's going on?" The results of "Fate", why is the first issue better than "Black Blood Era"? ā€

Cheng Yuan said: "Actually, the reason for this, Luo Zheng, you have already talked about it before. ā€

"Did you tell me?" Luo Zheng was surprised, "When did I talk about it, why didn't I know?" ā€

Cheng Yuan replied: "It was when I asked you for advice after I sent you a sample last time." Don't you remember what you said? ā€

"Ah...... That's it. Luo Zheng suddenly realized and nodded.

As soon as Cheng Yuan reminded him like this, Luo Zheng understood.

It turns out that the reason for all this comes from the problems that I saw from the beginning, the problems in the inaugural issue of "Tianya Comics, Black" - the color mood is too monotonous, and the style is similar to that of "Black Blood Age". "Fate/Staynight" is unique among these works.

All kinds of excellent works of the same genre are put together, which makes "The Age of Black Blood" not so special. And "fate/staynight" is particularly dazzling. Coupled with the quality of "Fate/StayNight" itself, and the topic and reputation created by too much discussion on the Internet, it is not surprising that "Fate/StayNight" surpassed "Black Blood Age" in one fell swoop and became the number one magazine in the whole magazine.

Luo Zheng explained to Yao Yao, and Yao Yao understood.

Cheng Yuan said: "It is also with this voting list that the editor-in-chief has made up his mind to raise the price of your works." ā€

The three of them didn't speak for a while, and the first assistant came to the door.

This assistant's name is Zhang Xiaoju, and she is a short and fat girl. That stocky size reminded Luo Zheng of Ion's pet in the game League of Legends in his previous life. Coincidentally, Zhang Xiaoju wore a dress with a decorative pattern of branches and green leaves. This time it's more like.

However, although the image is not very concerning, Zhang Xiaoju's strength is still very good. She once drew a short story on "Tianya Comics Monthly Edition", but she never was able to serialize a long story, and she also worked as an assistant to a famous girl's comic, so she has a lot of experience.

Zhang Xiaoju came to the rest area, and as soon as she heard Cheng Yuan introduce Luo Zheng, she took Luo Zheng's arm and said excitedly: "Teacher Sargeras, you are really amazing!" Who the hell is Archer? How can he be so handsome? How did you come up with such a character? I adore you so much, Mr. Sargeras! I'm going to warm your bed! I'm going to give you a baby! ā€

Luo Zheng shuddered, hurriedly shrank next to Yao Yao, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have a girlfriend." When it comes to having a child, please be smart. ā€

Zhang Xiaoju turned her head to look at Yao Yao at this time, but she was not flustered and shy, and said frankly: "I'm sorry, Teacher Sylvanas." I just admired Mr. Sargeras so much that I couldn't help but express my admiration, and there was no other meaning. ā€

After this catastrophe, Luo Zheng wanted Yao Yao to reject Zhang Xiaoju's assistant application. However, Zhang Xiaoju's ability is really good, Yao Yao has already taken a fancy to it, and Luo Zheng has made Yao Yao change her mind even after making a look.

But I don't know if it's an illusion, Luo Zheng always feels that Yao Yao looks at his gaze and jokes like Cheng Yuan. He always felt that Yao Yao deliberately left Zhang Xiaoju to see his jokes.

The second assistant is a middle-aged uncle with a scruffy beard, named Liang Zhen, who has the same surname as Liang Ming. He has been an assistant all year round and is good at imitation. Luo Zheng looked at his works and felt that Liang Zhen was a weakened version of Yao Yao purely in terms of painting skills.

When this guy saw Luo Zheng and Yao Yao for the first time, he lowered his head and muttered to himself: "It's unreasonable, so young? And after Yao Yao saw his work and agreed to accept this assistant, this guy still said, "It doesn't make sense, it's too young, right?" "Anyway, Luo Zheng wanted to copy the guy and beat him.

The third assistant was ordinary-looking, medium-sized, and taciturn, but not as distinctively as the previous two.

The third person is called Zhao Pingchuan, his name is very angry, but his mind is very detailed. These are reflected in the details of his paintings. Compared with the level of detail alone, Luo Zheng feels that sometimes Yao Yao is not even as good as Zhao Pingchuan.

So the third person also passed Yao Yao's review.

The assistant contacted by Cheng Yuan was as Cheng Yuan said, reliable, powerful, and can be used with confidence.

So, from today onwards, plus the free labor Han Wei, Luo Zheng and Yao Yao will have four assistants.

This meant that they needed to move to a bigger studio.
