Chapter 103: News Bombardment (Part II)
After a moment's pause, he dialed another phone number.
"Hello Moses Moses, do you need any special services?"
Oh, I made the wrong phone number to the custom shop...... It's no wonder, this is the phone number of Shangguo Publishing House, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It is precisely because of the "special service" that I heard the yin and yang weirdness that Riki can be so sure.
"I'm Riki." He reported himself to his home.
"In addition to 'out of the show', we can carry out a variety of services here, there are stockings, foot beeps ~ , mouth beeps ~, milk beeps ~ you can take Durex but you can't go out of it."
Out of the zhang and do "out of Zhang", in the language and "" meaning the same. Lu Lingling, the president of Shangguo Publishing House, began to ridicule him even more after discovering that the strange call was from an "old acquaintance".
"President, is your aunt here?"
"Hey, how do you know ......?"
"I'm in a public place, and this kind of scientific knowledge is not suitable to tell you. Seriously, I'm serious this time, and I don't want to go around with you this time. "Limu is in the airport phone booth. Although no one would be eavesdropping on the side, he didn't want to talk to the president about frivolous topics, otherwise the lazy thing would definitely go on endlessly.
"Fertility planning is not a serious matter, what is a serious matter."
"Let's say I have three new comics here."
Shangguo Publishing House has a total of four members, Lu Lingling is the president and editor-in-chief, and the members are Elisabel, Wang Bingyu and Ryoko. In fact, a magazine does not use many people, a monthly magazine is only about 200 pages, and each serial comic is about 40 pages, and the entire monthly magazine only needs six authors.
In other words, 1 editor is only responsible for managing 1~2 authors. Although Shangguo Publishing House has a division of positions, it is actually more like a small group, and the editor-in-chief, Lu Lingling, also has authors who need to be responsible. But this author can be one and two, and there is no need to supervise, it is Riki-san, who submits the manuscript in advance every month.
Maybe it will be a little busier to add weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly and the like, but in the year since its inception, Shangguo Publishing House has only issued two books, "Shangguo Monthly" and "Steel Refining".
The publishing house absorbed some cartoonists after "Steel Forge" became famous, but the monthly magazine was still in a state of profit and loss from time to time, so it did not dare to publish and develop monthly and weekly magazines in large quantities. The entire publishing house relied on a well-known copy of "Steel Forge" to make a profit, and the sales that have stabilized since then are still considerable.
But in any case, Shangguo still hopes to publish weekly and semi-monthly magazines, and the publication needs to be filled with excellent comics.
"......" The other end of the phone was silent, and said in a smooth tone: "That's really serious, can you draw three comics?" β
"One of them already has a 200p manuscript, another is writing a script, and the last one has been conceived, and the three comics should be on par with Fullmetal Alchemist." Riki put his left hand on the side of his mouth and spoke to her cautiously.
"What's your name? What's the content? Hearing that the three comics were all comparable to "Steel Forge", Lu Lingling asked anxiously, her voice was a little excited.
"They are "From the New World", "Blue Star of Galgantia" and "Qin Shi Mingyue", and the content will tell you later-" Riki doesn't need to spend time conceiving, all kinds of characters, surnames and plot lines have an impression in his mind, plus the current painting speed, he can paint whatever he wants.
"I want you to do three things for me right now." Riki said sincerely.
"So polite, say, the Sprinkle family will definitely help you."
INTERVIEWER Here's what it means to say, 'Tell me about it, I'll think about it.'"
That's the rhetoric of a normal negotiation. Maybe...... I don't know
- Although she is absurd and uninhibited, she is probably attracted to her three excellent members.
Thinking about this, Limu said: "The first thing, I announced to the public that I am Ali who painted the "Q version of the Three Kingdoms", the "Q version of the Three Kingdoms" has been serialized for a year and has come to an end temporarily, and there is a new work "Qin Shi Mingyue" is about to be serialized, and the remuneration you give me has increased from 80 yuan per page to 200 yuan per page. β
Now that the guidance of public opinion is tilting towards [Teacher Li's personal fraud], Limu wants to pull the focus of public opinion on himself, so that it will not affect Teacher Li's reputation. Moreover, the focus of the news should have returned to the people in the news center. Pulling from one person to another, and then to social and moral issues, is purely a chew made by "non-journalists" in order to attract readers. In order to change the direction of the news topic, Riki plans to borrow the comic "Qin Shi Mingyue" this time to turn the focus of news back to himself.
"Qin Shi Mingyue" was created by the writer Wen Shiren, but before the book was finished, he became ill and eventually died. Now that Riki has helped him create 3 years earlier, he will be handed over to him to novelize, will it save the writer from death? "Qin Shi Mingyue" can be said to be his talisman, and now Limu wants to draw it.
"Hey, is "Qin Shi Mingyue" worth this number?" Lu Lingling thinks about the precarious monthly magazine income.
"It's definitely better than "Q version of the Three Kingdoms". If I really can't do it, I will deduct the money from the other two comics to it.,"From the New World" and "Blue Star of Gargontia" I'll open another pen name.,Anyway, how to distribute the money inside is a secret that only you know and I know.γ He planned to distribute the money from "New World" and "Galguntia" to "Qin Shi Mingyue".
"Then you'll have to tell me about it so I can spread the word."
"My purpose is not to promote the new work." Limu is in the middle of a trip with no place to settle at this time, and once he is returned to Nanhua to settle down, he will definitely be annoyed by the memory. Since this will definitely happen to you, it's better to directly attract all the firepower to yourself, and advertising for the new work can only be said to take advantage of the situation.
"The second thing is to continue to announce the news that the author of the "Q version of the Three Kingdoms" drew a 100-meter-long "Battle of Red Cliffs" in school before graduation."
With the giant wall painting - "The Battle of Red Cliffs" of the Three Kingdoms as the end of "Q3", it can not only attract the attention of the media, but also build momentum for the publication of "Qin Shi Mingyue", and it is really suitable to use it as a full stop.
"No problem, it's easy, but can you really handle that 100-meter-long painting? It's not good if you are criticized by the media. β
If you draw well, you will build momentum, and if you don't draw well, you will lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot.
With a round face, two big shiny eyes, painted with color, Liu Guanzhang in "Q3" and three idiots crawl on the wall like caterpillars...... This is the impression of the pear wood wall painting in Lu Lingling's mind at this moment.
"I'm confident in that." Riki swears.
It's not that he is excellent at painting, but he has reached the point where he can compete with the world's top painters. It's just that the three paintings given by the system are really classics - they can be said to be the world's top works of art. As a comic book and sketcher, he has a little bit of an appreciation for works of art. Even if Limu often cuts corners to complete tasks, the training of the system this year is not all in vain.
β¦β¦ The three wall paintings were displayed in front of the world, so that more people knew about the existence of these three paintings, and prompted them to visit them.
- So maybe it can help me with my mission.
Riki's abacus is playing louder and louder.
"'The same author also completed two paintings of almost the same size, 'The Gleaner' and 'The Slenderman on the Volga'' are also to be added to the propaganda. Then, I hope that you can invite artists to visit Nanhua, whether they are famous or small, as long as they can be invited. I pay for the airfare...... No, it's deducted from 10% of my painting expenses. β
"You're really going to make it callous." Lu Lingling resented when she talked about giving money. But now Riki seems to be full of confidence, and the "author contract" instead of the "work contract" signed at the beginning is really worth the price.
"One last thing-" Riki hesitated for a moment in front of the phone, feeling that it depended on the situation whether to do it or not, so he said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself, all you have to do is the ones mentioned above." β
βyessirοΌ noproblem~β
"Please, be serious this time." Listening to her cynical answer, Limu admonished with a face...... Although his expression was completely invisible on the other end of the phone, Lu Lingling also felt the solemnity in his tone.
"Seriously, of course seriously, it's strange that our God of Wealth has a new work that is not serious, and I'll ask Bingyu to buy a ticket to fly to Nanhua later." She replied with a shudder.
- Who is it that makes people call?
Riki shook his head and smiled bitterly. Although Lu Lingling's free and easy temperament is attractive, the people who work under her will feel unbearable, so Ryoko has complained on the phone.
- It's reassuring to have ice to do things.
She is a woman who regards her career as her life.
Riki hung up the phone and returned to the waiting room, and there was also a reassuring woman beside him. She is a very motivated right-hand man, and she will not show the fierce worry of Wujun Muzi, nor will she let herself be in a state of mutual annoyance like Li Qihua "You worry about me, I worry about you".
With a distance of 5 centimeters between the seats, the two of them could feel each other's status.
It is a setback that the champion of the Olympiad was spared. Frustration is a state of affairs that has both disadvantages and advantages, and is not useless.
Mo Moxin knows that for an optimistic employer, setbacks are a kind of training and growth, which can help him draw better cartoons. Painters who have experienced and overcome setbacks have the ability to paint profound works, and Qi Baishi is such a painter. For Riki, the deeper the frustration, the more convincing the manga will be.
