Chapter 29: The Matrix, Part 2 of the series
There have been several big names in the literary field who saw that the comic industry was booming, and the god-level cartoonists had at least an annual income of tens of millions, and hundreds of millions of them were a lot, so they all tried to change careers to draw comics, but in the end they all hit the street without exception, the ability to tell stories is too bad, and all kinds of literary and young plots are flooded, forcibly blocking readers, making readers depressed and scolding, and then abandoned by readers!
So, slowly, there was a law.
That is, the higher the literary achievement of the writer, the more likely it is to hit the street when creating comics.
Wenqing is the enemy's enemy.
So far, no real literary master has ever succeeded in the field of comics.
At most, she is a person like Zhang Ziyu, who has had one or two literary works, and then has made a lot of achievements in the field of comics, but she is not a real literary master, because she does not have very famous literary works, at most she is a writer with literary attainments.
However, now Wang Chu's status is different.
If the previous life was only as good as the first three poems, it would have been a blockbuster, and this poem Queqiao Xian was enough to give him a place in the field of contemporary literature, if he wasn't too young now, it is estimated that he would soon become a first-level existence of a literary scholar and be respected by many people.
As a result, industry insiders and many media are even more optimistic about Wang Chu's development in the field of comics, and they all predict that the Matrix Empire will collapse and hit the streets, which will become Wang Chu's first and last comic work.
"Wang Chu's Matrix may hit the streets, but the money has already been made. He got the highest manuscript fee for newcomers, a comic manuscript is 3,000 yuan, and he only needs to draw 10,000 comics to get 30 million manuscript fees, which is a super high income in the field of literature. ”
"That's the loss of Legendary Pictures."
"Isn't the legendary film itself here to give money? You deserve it. Now if a small magazine wants to seek development, it must cast a wide net in the early stage and cultivate more newcomers, but not every newcomer will have achievements, so it must lose more and gain less. However, Legendary Pictures is backed by Donghuang Entertainment, and they don't expect to make money from the comics themselves, as long as they can get one or two high-quality adaptations for film and television adaptations, they will make a lot of money! ”
"Looking forward to Wang Chu's creation of classic poems again, but I will also support his comic matrix, even if this comic hits the street, just for your sentence If life is only as first seen, and if the two love is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight. I'm going to support you all the time......"
"Personally, I think the Matrix is still okay, although it is not excellent, but it is also within the level, but I look at the pit a little bit, a little scattered, and say some godly chattering lines, so that I can't keep up with the rhythm, and I am afraid that Wang Chu will really collapse......"
…………
Except for a few readers on Weibo who like to support, almost no one is optimistic about Wang Chu and the Matrix, and they are led by some so-called comment professionals.
Some cultural and entertainment media have also further declined.
"The Matrix may become a laughing stock in the industry because of the first manuscript fee for newcomers!"
"Legend Pictures cultivates Wang Chu so brainlessly, there may be something greasy in it, just looking at the comics, the Matrix is not worth the price at all."
"Zhang Yunfeng is estimated to resign, otherwise who will take the blame?"
………………
Zhang Yunfeng is indeed under great pressure in Legendary Pictures.
At the editorial meeting over the weekend, Editor-in-Chief He attacked him again, saying that Zhang Yunfeng put Legendary Pictures in an embarrassing position and was ridiculed by the industry, which made him very stressed.
However, this week, the sales of Legendary Pictures almost exceeded 4 million, which was much higher than before, and was ignored by Editor-in-Chief He and others.
Editor-in-Chief Ma called Zhang Yunfeng to the office and asked, "Xiao Zhang, is Monday's serial typesetting ready?" ”
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said, "Editor-in-chief, don't worry, I have already arranged it, and it will be ready to be printed soon." ”
"Or is it the Matrix staple?"
Editor-in-Chief Ma asked again.
Zhang Yunfeng said affirmatively: "Well, the Matrix will be the focus of our next publicity." Editor-in-chief, are you also losing confidence? ”
Editor-in-chief Ma smiled: "I haven't read this comic for a long time, where do I have any confidence?" My confidence is that I believe in your abilities, and although you have not had too amazing results over the years, you have not let me down. I hope you don't let me down this time. ”
Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "The editor-in-chief will know tomorrow." ”
Editor-in-Chief Ma nodded and signaled that Zhang Yunfeng could go back to work.
Editor-in-chief Ma Cheng is actually the most stressed, he has blocked the question from Donghuang Entertainment Group, if the Matrix really fails this time, then he can't help Zhang Yunfeng, Zhang Yunfeng can only leave Legendary Pictures.
Therefore, tomorrow's second issue of The Matrix serialization is the most critical issue.
It is also the most high-profile gamble and game since the reorganization of Legendary Pictures.
Zhang Yunfeng returned to his office, told him about typesetting and printing, and called Wang Chu again.
Wang Chu is running and practicing boxing with Zhang Ziyu in the park, and he plans to teach Zhang Ziyu some internal boxing techniques for exercising his body, hoping that Zhang Ziyu is in good health, and the two can live together longer in this life.
The mobile phone rang, Wang Chu picked it up, the mobile phone had just been bought with the manuscript fee of the poet's poems, and he hadn't made a few calls yet.
"Editor-in-chief Zhang is early."
Wang Chu asked with a smile.
When Zhang Yunfeng heard Wang Chu's smiling and relaxed voice, he put his mind at ease, knowing that he still underestimated this young man. He was worried that Wang Chu himself would not be able to withstand the pressure from all sides, which would affect Wang Chu's creation very much, and maybe he would really collapse the Matrix.
Now it seems that he is overthinking.
"Seeing that you are very relaxed, Teacher Chu, I am relieved, your Queqiao Immortal really amazes me. Tomorrow, our legendary pictures will also promote the Matrix, Mr. Chu, how are your new manuscripts being prepared? ”
Zhang Yunfeng also asked easily.
"Hehe, the new draft has been drawn, and I will send it to you in two days."
Wang Chu also replied with a smile.
Zhang Ziyu was wearing a loose black sportswear, standing next to him and was walking awkwardly, trying it all morning, he was already sweating, there was a feeling of fragrant sweat, and he exuded the breath of youth.
"Okay, tomorrow the second volume of the Matrix will be released, and I'll see if they have anything else to say."
Zhang Yunfeng also said confidently, firmly believing in his vision.
"I've always believed that my work will be successful."
Wang Chu was more confident.
The two ended the call, and Zhang Yunfeng continued to supervise the printing of the new issue of Legendary Pictures tomorrow.
Wang Chu took Zhang Ziyu to practice for a while, and the little girl was sore, so it was over for the time being, and the two of them slowly ran home together.
The cultural and entertainment media, and many commentators on Weibo are still criticizing Wang Chu and The Matrix, as well as Legendary Pictures.
However, both parties ignored them, because the facts would soon refute their lack of words.
Monday was coming quickly.
The new issue of Legendary Pictures Magazine is also officially listed, and the cover is still the cool hero of The Matrix, and it is accompanied by a few big words - The Matrix, which makes you doubt life!
This time, orders for Legendary Pictures have risen again, with sales exceeding 3.7 million copies in the week last week, a significant increase. And this week, the order volume of Legendary Pictures is 3.9 million copies, and the sales may exceed 4.5 million copies, so regardless of whether the Matrix can succeed or not, the sales of Legendary Pictures have actually succeeded, but it has been ignored by many people and stared at the Matrix.
It can be said that the popularity has increased, and the sales have increased, which has also made many industry insiders who are looking at the decline of the Matrix and the decline of Legendary Pictures very speechless, they have been criticizing the Matrix and Legendary Pictures, in fact, they have helped Legendary Pictures to promote and attract attention.
But!
They can also continue to baash the plot of The Matrix.
Many industry professionals believe that the Matrix Empire in this issue must collapse, because they think that there are too many holes at the beginning of the first book, too scattered, and it is impossible to close at all.
Therefore, many people in the industry bought the legendary film for the first time, and after contributing to the sales, they began to find fault with it!
But!
All the people who watched this issue of The Matrix, as stated on the cover, began to doubt life.
They also truly understood why Zhang Yunfeng repeatedly reminded them that the truth of the facts was terrifying.
It's true.
It's scary!
Time.
All the comic critics on Weibo exploded.
The Matrix did not collapse, which made them lose face, but the truth in it frightened them even more!
