043 The problem continues
043 Question kept quiet and stylish café, Gao Xiang was looking at a beautiful woman opposite and elegantly shaking the coffee in the cup.
The eyes of the two occasionally intertwined, and occasionally whispered conversations, and the content of the conversation was obviously not very humorous, but after a few soft words from the two of them, they would smile slightly.
With enough politeness, I drank half of Gao Xiang's coffee, although the two were still talking about some topics that were not nutritious, but the whole atmosphere of the two was quite relaxed and pleasant.
Gao Xiang's mobile phone screen, which was adjusted to vibrate, lit up with a faint light, and then cramped and shook all over his body to remind Gao Xiang that someone was calling.
He picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was Zhao Ken, Hu Ziyi's editor-in-charge, who called.
Although he didn't like Zhao Ken's phone call to disrupt the romantic atmosphere between him and the girl opposite, Gao Xiang was still sober, and at this sensitive moment, any phone call from Zhao Ken could not be ignored.
Moreover, Gao Xiang is not a person who doesn't even care about work.
Gao Xiang still understands some things, the fashionably dressed girl opposite, although she sits in an elegant café with him, her words definitely don't involve money, and she talks about some literary and artistic fashions, or the history of a symphony orchestra she went to last time, and the background story of the music she plays.
But this knowledge is of little use other than to be used to improve the force. If Gao Xiang is an ordinary salaryman struggling to make ends meet every day, except for the protagonist of the online novel, he probably has no leisure to understand.
Gao Xiang looked at the phone, the girl naturally found out, she said empathetically: "It's okay, you go and answer the phone first." “
"Well, I'm sorry, I'll leave for a while." Gao Xiang smiled apologetically, then picked up the phone, and while hurriedly running towards the bathroom, he whispered into the phone: "Wait a minute." ”
When he arrived at the bathroom, Gao Xiang raised his normal tone and said quite majestically: "Say." ”
"Editor-in-Chief Gao, Hu Ziyi has delayed the draft." Zhao Kendao.
"What? What did you say? Gao Xiang said in surprise.
Perhaps for others, procrastination is normal. Even among those great gods, there are some legendary characters who play games like crazy and forget to draw comics, but after all, it is a habit, and it has lasted for a long time, and the comic club and fans are used to the urine of this great god.
But for Hu Ziyi, this is not normal. Because when digging Hu Ziyi, Gao Xiang naturally had a detailed understanding of his comic drawing experience, among which Hu Ziyi's record of never delaying the draft is a point that Gao Xiang admires.
Abnormal, that is, all the original same is a little different, for example, a person with a normal IQ suddenly becomes crazy, but after a while he changes back, we say that there is a period in the middle that is abnormal, of course, it can also be an example of a madman who suddenly becomes smart and then changes back again, all of which mean the same.
"It's a bad omen, especially at a time like this." Gao Xiang's inner thoughts said.
"How long has it dragged on?" Gao Xiang continued to ask.
"I went to receive the manuscript at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and he said that he didn't finish it, and then I got the manuscript at 8 o'clock this morning."
"What was his mental state when he handed it in?"
"It's bad, it's sluggish, and it's very likely that I've stayed up late." Zhao Ken expressed his judgment as an editor.
The call fell silent for a moment, but he didn't hang up.
The boss didn't hang up the phone, and Zhao Ken, as a subordinate, naturally didn't dare to hang up the phone first.
Hu Ziyi was dug up by Gao Xiang, especially on the cusp of this storm, originally because of the rising sales of Huajing comics, the position he is doing now is already in jeopardy.
If something happens to Hu Ziyi again, the media who are watching the excitement outside will definitely chase after him. With his position, I don't know how many people are staring at Caiyao.
He is now riding a tiger and is in danger on all sides.
"Xiao Zhao." Gao Xiang said solemnly, "You pay attention to the low-level cartoonists during this time, especially the kind of people who have no ambitions, their painting style and beard are easy to approach, and their basic skills are also quite good." ”
"Editor-in-Chief Gao." Zhao Ken said in surprise. "This ......."
"It's just in case." Gao Xiang interrupted Zhao Ken's words, "You pay attention to Hu Ziyi's emotions during this time, take some time, chat with him more, and learn as much as you can about the situation." ”
"yes, okay." Zhao Ken responded.
At this point, the two of them talked about the same thing, and hung up the phone.
I thought I had found a stable seedling, but I didn't expect it.......
………
"Unheard of Flower Name" has been serialized on Huajing to the fourth episode, after the explosive growth of Huajing's magazine last week, when Huajing went on sale this week, the magazine sales on the day reached more than 1 million, and there were still as many as 880,000 the next day, according to this reduction, Huajing's magazine sales this week should really reach 4 million, not nearly 4 million as the newspaper said last week.
Although the sales growth of Huajing Weekly is not as large as that of the 74 and 75 issues, it can be regarded as a steady growth.
In addition, Shi Zixi's time is not easy, first of all, even though "Unheard of Flower Names" was submitted when it was close to the end, but because of the fiery scene caused by the serialization, Jiang Yuan tended to be a businessman, and considered whether Shi Zixi could stretch the story and serialize it more.
For this reason, Jiang Yuan has been looking for exchanges with Shi Zixi many times.
But there is no doubt that Jiang Yuan's many proposals were rejected by Shi Zixi.
For Jiang Yuan's proposal, this is completely a joke, after all, Shi Zixi's mind is full of classic comics, there is no need to hold a comic for life, and the comic plot should have ended, but it was also forcibly poured to lengthen the plot, which not only hurt the comic but also hurt the author's character.
Look at "**" in the previous life, the front part is so classic, but the back is almost rotten into a dog. This is completely a lesson in blood, and Shi Zixi's head doesn't know how much tofu scum he has to go into to do this kind of unnecessary and unwise move.
But Jiang Yuan is unwilling to give up this wealth-making IP easily, for a businessman, Jiang Yuan cares not that the comics will rot like this because of irrigation, but that the comics can drive more weekly sales without drawing more words, and even the comics have been serialized for a long time, and the accumulated popularity is also considerable.
So Shi Zixi didn't listen, so she persuaded her many times, and even found a first-class cartoonist to do ideological work for her out of nowhere, talking about the benefits of long-term serialization of comics.
A dozen serialized comics, I really can't accumulate much popularity. The market and comics are interdependent, and you can't just think about your own artistic creation and ignore the needs of fans.
In the end, Shi Zixi was really annoyed by Jiang Yuan, and she had to hurry up to review during this time, so she really didn't have time to entangle with Jiang Yuan and them, so she had to take a step back and said: "If the response is good after the name is serialized, I will consider creating a theatrical version of the plot." ”
"But..."Jiang Yuan still wanted to persuade.
"Editor-in-chief Jiang, this is my final bottom line, if you persuade again......" Shi Zixi's expression was extremely serious, and the latter words were not complete, but the meaning of the representation was self-evident.
"Uh..." Jiang Yuan looked directly at Shi Zixi for a while, but she was uncompromising, there was no way, Jiang Yuan shook her head, sighed and said, "Okay, I respect your opinion." ”
