Chapter Ninety-Three: Old Song's Roaring Body
Xia Ying's classmates were the ones who left the Tianjiao Club the next day, but Xia Ying didn't leave with her classmates, and she originally asked to stay in the Tianjiao Club until the end of the summer vacation and then go home.
Although Meng Zhe has the idea of abducting people, he can't let go of this kind of thing...... Now I promised to stay with Xia Ying, and in the future, Guo Da, Li Da, and Ma Ma will also follow this example, and the normal order of Tianjiao Club will be guaranteed!
This is different from Zhang Cheng and Liu Kang, who came earlier, Zhang Cheng and they are all adults over the age of 18, speaking of Zhang Cheng and Liu Kang...... These two living treasures are now Yan Kai's assistants, and Yan Kai should be able to drum up his short story in a few days, right?
Therefore, under Meng Zhe's persuasion, Xia Ying finally stayed for three and a half days and asked Meng Zhe a lot of questions about comics, and then embarked on a long-distance bus home with an editor who happened to be on a business trip to Hunan.
Because of the existence of Tianjiao Society, Wufeng County Long-distance Bus Station, which originally had only a few long-distance bus lines, has added more than ten new long-distance buses in just half a year, which happens to be used to Hunan.
Looking at the Lolita-like Xia Ying, who was still reluctant to rush out of the car window and waved her hand after getting into the car, Meng Zhe whispered with emotion: "Ignorant girl or something, it's really best to deceive ......"
"Editor-in-Chief Meng, what did you say?"
Song Guixu, who came with him, obviously didn't hear what Meng Zhe said clearly.
"Nothing...... I'm just self-reflecting. ”
Meng Zhe replied, but when he spoke, he was thinking very seriously: Zhu Letao, Zhao Jia or something, now it seems to be about the same size as Xia Ying, do you want to find a way to find and abduct it back?
Thinking about it, Meng Zhe once again showed a smile like a chicken stealing fox.
"Self-reflection?" Song Guixu glanced at Meng Zhe suspiciously, he didn't think that Meng Zhe's current smile was very bad, what kind of self-reflection would be, what kind of bad idea was he fighting!
However, although Song Guixu is more upright, he will not say this idea, so he spoke again about official business: "Editor-in-chief Xiao Meng, "Anime Boy" in early September can't be scheduled. ”
Meng Zhe was stunned: "Can't get it?" What do you mean? ”
"You just can't get it? Editor-in-Chief Xiao Meng, didn't you promise those two little devils two days ago to let their drawings of "The World of Great Controversy" and "One-piece" be published in the magazine in early September? These two articles add up to a hundred smaller ones...... In addition to the original long-form serials in our magazine, plus the short stories scheduled for early September...... If it were all published, the issue in early September would have broken 450 pages! ”
Meng Zhe's attitude made Song Guixu excited, why didn't editor-in-chief Meng even notice this?
Now there are a total of serialized long stories on anime teenagers: "Chess Soul" is about 40 pages per issue, "Degradation" is about 19p, "Digimon" is about 19p, "Princess Huanzhu" is about 19p, "Xiaoshan Yueji" is about 19p, "Light Sound Girl" 5~10p, "Robot Doesn't Cry" 19p, "Labor is the Most Glorious" 19p, "The Legend of the Son of Heaven" is about 20p, "Stupid Guardian of the Three Kingdoms" 19p...... These add up to more than 200 tickets!
And in each issue of "Anime Boys", there are basically three to five short serializations, which is about 100 in memory.
In addition, the comments of each short story 'cartoonist in progress' will occupy about 4 or 5 pages, Meng Zhe's comprehensive comic city will occupy about 20 pages, and there are also selected letters from readers and introductions by cartoonists at home and abroad, which will also occupy 4 or 5 pages...... A total of more than 350 pieces of wood?! There is wood and there is ?!!!
Although the magazine should be brushed on both sides of each sheet, such a thick magazine only costs 4.8 yuan per issue. There is wood and there is ?!!! Add another 100 and you're basically no profit, there's wood?! There is wood and wow?!!!
…… After Song Guixu finished settling accounts for Meng Zhe with emotion, Meng Zhe was surprised to find that at this time last year, "Anime Boy", which was still sleepless at night because of the lack of manuscripts on the inaugural issue, and desperately rushed to draw comics, had grown to the point that it affected profits because of too many serialized pages in just one year.
"In that case...... In the first issue of September, it happened to be the time for new students to enter the school in the fall, so the extra 100 pages were added in the name of "Admission Special Number" as a benefit for our readers. ”
Meng Zhe made such a decision after a little contemplation, even if he changed a lot of things after being reborn, Meng Zhe didn't think that the pirates and Hokage in the three major migrant workers would become unpopular because of his rebirth.
Meng Zhe thinks that if his prediction is good, "One Piece", which will be serialized in early September, should be able to bring a large number of new readers to "Anime Shonen" and cultivate a huge number of die-hard fans!
Full of quaint Chinese style, mixed with a small amount of exotic flavor, Kishimoto's version of "The World of Great Controversy" should also be able to attract a lot of new readers to join more "Anime Boys"!
So in the long run, what's the big deal about making less money in one issue?
Don't you see those who play venture capital, who have lost tens of millions of dollars in three years and five years, and are still very calm?
"Editor-in-chief Xiao Meng, it's okay to deal with this issue like this, but what will I do in the future? Our magazine is not state-run, so we can't make any money on a regular basis......"
Song Guixu is really a good employee, he is already thinking about the serialization of the next issues, but his vision is still a little narrower, and his eyes are only focused on "Anime Boy" itself.
"Hehe, thank you Uncle Song for reminding me! On this issue...... I'll give Sister Lan a call tonight, and I'll discuss it with Sister Lan when the time comes. ”
Meng Zhe said with a smile, in fact, Kong Lan and Meng Zhe had discussed this situation before, and the result of the discussion between the two at that time was to create a new anime magazine for other types of readers to divert it.
This so-called new animation magazine for other types of readers, the first is a girl-oriented magazine focusing on young female readers, and Meng Zhe is actually already preparing for this, and even the name of the magazine has been booked - "Anime Girl".
It's just, when I think of rotten girls or something, [***] or something...... Meng Zhe couldn't help but be messy in the wind.
It is precisely for this reason that Meng Zhe also has a plan not to run "Anime Girl" first, but to set up an informational comic magazine that mainly introduces information about the animation industry at home and abroad, and then incidentally migrate the short stories originally published in "Anime Boy" to this magazine.
However, this kind of information magazine, until 00 years after the great development of the Internet and the rapid popularization of computers, there will be little room for survival.
But the advantage of doing it now is that it can popularize the latest information and development of the foreign animation industry to domestic animation lovers, and then cultivate more readers and loyal fans who are interested in animation.
Although as far as Meng Zhe is concerned, because he is no longer short of money and will not be short of money in the future by drawing comics, he prefers to start an information-based animation magazine first, and it doesn't matter if he loses money or makes money. But Tianjiao Society is not Meng Zhe alone, he has to think about Kong Lan...... Therefore, after sending away Xia Ying's big Lori, Meng Zhe, who had drawn comics for an afternoon, dialed the phone number left by Kong Lan at ten o'clock in the evening - during the day, Kong Lan had to accompany her father and brother in the hospital, and would only go home after ten o'clock in the evening.
The first call didn't get through, so Meng Zhe waited patiently for half an hour before picking up the phone and dialing the phone number for the second time.
This time the phone was finally dialed, Kong Lan's tired voice came from the other end of the phone, Meng Zhe asked a few words about Kong Lan's father and brother's injuries with great concern, and after getting the reply that the recovery was not bad, he said that Kong Lan should not be too tired of his own words, just hire someone to do the work of taking care of people.
Regarding Meng Zhe's concern, Kong Lan just smiled very comfortably on the other end of the phone, and then said: "It's because I want to accompany Xiaozhang more, and he can't accept it anymore and can only live in a wheelchair......"
This matter, in fact, when Meng Zhe called Kong Lan the day after he came back, he was right to think about it - Kong Lan's younger brother Kong Zhang, who was a few months younger than Meng, was originally a young man who could run around the ground, but he was suddenly hit by a car and became a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and it was strange to be able to accept it calmly!
"Xiao Zhe, how has the plagiarism been solved like this?"
Before Meng Zhe could speak, Kong Lan asked about the affairs of Tianjiao Society.
"It's basically solved.,The author of plagiarism said that he wanted to do deep introspection.,Expressed willingness to apologize to all readers on Anime Shonen.,And begged not to ban him.。 So I'm going to do a multiple-choice question on the next issue of the reader survey, and give the choice to the readers - so that no matter what the end result is, the other cartoonists will be able to realize the power of readers. ”
Meng Zhe replied like this, and after finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered another tidbit, so he hurriedly added: "The master reader who found plagiarism, and the editor who sent him a bonus said that he was very satisfied with the attitude of our Tianjiao Society, so he volunteered to be the president of the Anti-Plagiarism Review Association, and asked to come to our Tianjiao Club to be the preliminary editor of the manuscript, she said that she has watched the anime for more than ten years, and she can tell at a glance whether there is plagiarism...... I thought it was feasible and agreed. ”
After listening to Meng Zhe's words, Kong Lan on the other end of the phone also expressed his agreement: "Is there any plagiarism, you can see it at a glance?" Oh, the tone is quite big, let her do it first, it's good to do it, it's actually the best to live up to the name, if it doesn't live up to the name, then remove it, just when our magazine bought a horse bone for the second time. ”
"By the way, Sister Lan, there is one more incident......"
After Kong Lan finished speaking, Meng Zhe said that too many manuscripts of "Anime Boy" would lead to excessive pages, so it was necessary to do a new magazine diversion, and his two considerations were said.
Kong Lan on the other end of the phone pondered for a while before finally saying her opinion
