Chapter 69: "COME ON Boys" Weekly Meeting

"What are you seeing? So fascinated, gone, had a meeting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" It wasn't until he was called by a colleague at the next table that Du Wenfeng reacted,

Turning his head and glancing at the electronic clock on the table, it was already meeting time, and more than an hour had passed unconsciously.

Du Wenfeng couldn't help but sigh again at the strength of Teacher Suixin.

"I saw you babbling to yourself just now, what are you looking at?" The colleague at the adjacent table walked side by side with Du Wenfeng to the conference room and turned his head sideways to ask.

Du Shaofeng looked at this colleague who was also a freewheeling fan and smiled mysteriously.

"You'll find out later."

Although the editorial department of "COMEON Boys" is not many, there are only ten editors, and there are only eleven editors-in-chief, in fact, the deputy editors in the "COMEON Boys" magazine are also classified as editorial departments, but the first is that the office of the deputy editors is located in the outside hall, and the second is that these editors always feel that the more than 20 "miscellaneous" guys are really not editors, so over time, everyone only thinks that there are only 11 people in the editorial department.

Although there are only 11 people working in the editorial department of "COMEON Boys", the entire editorial department covers the largest area of all departments in the magazine, and the independent conference room in the editorial office is also very large, and there is only a rectangular conference table in the center of the empty conference room.

Editor-in-chief Wang Wenbo was the first to arrive in the conference room, sat on the "width" of the rectangular conference table early, and watched the editors sit down in turn in his left and right positions one after another, until the tenth editor sat down and all the staff arrived before speaking.

"Let's get started, weekly meeting." Wang Wenbo looked around at the crowd around him.

"First of all, let's confirm that the lowest ranking in this week's popularity questionnaire is Mr. Chen Ting's "Beastmaster", right? He's been in the bottom three twice in a row, last time it was the first from the bottom, this time it's the third from the bottom, according to the convention, Chen Hong, you are the editor in charge of Mr. Chen Ting, you go and inform Mr. Chen Ting, "The King of Beasts" is going to stop serialization, let him think about the next work as soon as possible. ”

Wang Wenbo announced the life and death of a comic flatly, and the editor-in-charge in the editorial department, including Mr. Chen Ting, had the same expressions as usual.

There is also competition in the manga magazine, and the competition is even more fierce in the first comic magazine "COMEON Shonen", a total of 25 works in each issue of "COMEON Shonen", it is very difficult to stand out among the tens of millions of contributors and get one of these 25 places, even if it is favored by the magazine, it is not to sit back and relax, but to worry all day long, because I don't know how many people want to climb up behind it. Basically, every magazine will have a popularity survey list, and if there is a continuous bottom of popularity, it will face the danger of being cut in half.

And in "COMEON Boys", the competition is even more fierce, and there is no need for the last place, as long as the work stays in the last three places for two weeks in a row, it is a merciless cut.

Therefore, at the weekly meeting of the editorial department of "COMEON Boys", at this square conference table, the "death" of one or even three comics is always announced every week, but it is the first time that it falls to the end, and the second week climbs up to avoid "cutting in half" There are very few works, after all, the decline in popularity of the work is not attractive enough in itself, plus the "master like a cloud" in "COMEON Boy", how easy is it to squeeze a few fame? Can it be saved in one chapter?

Isn't there such a saying? "I don't need to be the fastest, I just need to be faster than you."

But what if everyone around you is running fast? So in "COMEON Shonen", it is indeed not easy to rank up.

And the works that are being serialized in "COMEON Boys" are basically the works of veteran writers, because the first point is that the veteran writers have the strength of the original, and the second point is that the popularity of the veteran writers is originally superior to the newcomers. Therefore, the full twenty works on "COMEON Boys" are veteran writers who have been famous for a long time, and in addition to the popular works that are stable in the top three of the list, even veteran writers are in danger of being squeezed out at any time.

And "COMEON Boys" still has "novice protection measures" for novices, after all, there is always a certain degree of tolerance for fledgling newcomers, even in the highly competitive "COMEON Boys", the most basic "novice protection measures" are still available.

That's any new work.,Start serializing on "COMEON Boys" until Chapter 5.,The first five chapters belong to the "Novice Protection Period".,Even if it's at the bottom continuously.,It's still not going to be cut in half.,It won't be counted from Chapter 6.。

Therefore, many writers and readers often joke that the short "protection period" of "COMEON Boys" is "Seven Chapters of Death". Because there are too many newcomers to survive, once the protection period of the fifth chapter has passed, the sixth chapter is at the bottom of "ready to be executed", and the seventh chapter is at the bottom of the "death sentence"......

Therefore, many manga artists serialized in "COMEON Shonen" are sighing that every time they "live" an issue, they have to sweat.

However, most of these newcomers had lofty ideals at the beginning, thinking that since they wanted to submit and challenge, they would challenge the biggest battlefield "COMEON Boys", so many newcomers rushed to "COMEON Boys" like moths to the flames. Therefore, this magazine is also known as "the grave of novices" and "the platform of waist beheading".

"Teacher Chen Ting's "Beastmaster" was cut in half, and a position was vacated, which of you has a good proposal." Editor-in-chief Wang Wenbo looked up and asked.

"I think this is Mr. Wang Yishan's new work "The God of the World" is very good, although Mr. Wang Yishan's work was cut in half last month, but Mr. Wang Yishan quickly regrouped and made a comeback, and his strength is still guaranteed." An editor sitting at Wang Wenbo's starting point picked up a manuscript that had already been prepared.

In front of each of the editors in the room was a manuscript, after all, this regular meeting was supposed to announce the "death list". The editors then submitted promising works to replace the works that were cut in half for serialization.

"I don't need to read it, I think this manuscript in my hand is the one who deserves this serialization spot!" Du Shaofeng actually interrupted his colleague's speech at the meeting, which is really rare, after all, in fact, whether the author can serialize or not, and who will serialize, really doesn't matter much to the editors, so the editors at the meeting were very "indifferent". They don't fight for anything for a work, such as a color scroll.

On the contrary, the editors, including the editor-in-chief, didn't want the meeting to be too long and wanted to end the weekly meeting as soon as possible, so they all got straight to the point. It is important to know that this meeting, especially the review of new works, is particularly time-consuming, and it is necessary for the editors to select the works, hand them over to all the editors and editors-in-chief present for review, and then all the works recommended by the editors will look at each other before voting on the works to be added to the serialization.

In other words, there are ten editors present, and each editor recommends a work for a total of ten works, and then reviews each other, which means that everyone present has to review ten comics on the spot! This round takes at least an hour.

It is not an impulsive move for Du Shaofeng to interrupt other people's speeches at the meeting, in fact, the boss in the conference room, that is, the editor-in-chief Wang Wenbo, is not a stereotypical person, Du Shaofeng knows that as long as his reasons are right, the boss will not be rude to himself at all, and these colleagues are friends for many years, and they will not be angry about this trivial matter, including the editor-in-chief, all of them will only wonder what kind of work can make Du Shaofeng think that other works do not need to be watched, and directly crush other works.
