Chapter 54 Inaugural Issue

Seeing such cute goods, Zhang Qiuxi's heart moved while she was speechless, walked over and squatted beside her and asked, "Little sister, you just said that you were going to apply for an illustrator?" ”

"I'm not called Little Sister, my name is Ye Qingqing." The little girl was still holding her head in her hands, and said with tears in her eyes: "What's the matter with you, anyway, I just made a mistake with the address." ”

"This doesn't matter, you're a student at Western Associated University, right?" Zhang Qiuxi picked up her student ID card from the ground, it was clearly written that she was a first-year student in the art department, so although Ye Qingqing was petite, she was probably older than her, after all, seventeen-year-old college students were only a few.

"So what?" Ye Qingqing snatched her student ID back, and at the same time took two steps back and stared at Zhang Qiuxi, her vigilance was really high.

Zhang Qiuxi also stood up and said: "Yes, we are alumni, introduce myself, my name is Zhang Qiuxi, the first year of the Chinese Department." ”

Ye Qingqing stared at Zhang Qiuxi and muttered thoughtfully: "Zhang Qiuxi, this name seems to be a little familiar. By the way, it seems to be the science fiction writer who seems to be quite famous. ”

"I thought I should be able to know the identity of people when I see them, but it seems that it hasn't reached the point where everyone in the world knows you."

When Zhang Qiuxi was a little depressed, Ye Qingqing had already continued: "But what does this have to me?" Oops, I'm going to miss out on all this nonsense. ”

After Ye Qingqing finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, Zhang Qiuxi hurriedly shouted to her: "Wait, of course I won't talk nonsense with you after saying so much, our magazine just needs an illustrator, so you can join us." ”

Zhang Qiuxi directly dragged Ye Qingqing to the sofa on the side, Ye Qingqing still blinked her big eyes full of suspicion, and said: "But you obviously said that there is no recruitment, don't think that I am easy to deceive because I am relatively small, I am a college student." ”

College students are actually the most susceptible group, right?

Knowing what Zhang Qiuxi meant, Hongdou also said: "Although we are not hiring, we do need a painter, and if your painting can meet the requirements, we are willing to hire you with a high salary." ”

"Why do I think you're trying to kidnap me?" Ye Qingqing's words are actually not wrong, Zhang Qiuxi is now thinking of such an idea, and was trying to piece together the content of the magazine, but an art student happened to come, and she is a very cute beautiful girl, she is really a good candidate.

"If you know Xiaoqiu, you should also read science fiction novels, right? Well-known writers are in our magazine, how can they deceive people. Hongdou once again brought out Zhang Qiuxi's identity, and many times the identity of celebrities is very useful.

"What's the point of science fiction, so you don't read it." Ye Qingqing shook her head and denied it, then glanced at Zhang Qiuxi again, and said, "I only found out after listening to my friend." ”

"Well, this is our publishing license." Shangguan Jin was even more direct, and put all kinds of documents in front of Ye Qingqing, Ye Qingqing didn't doubt it anymore, but said: "But it's not you who I'm going to apply for." ”

Zhang Qiuxi said: "It's not important, anyway, haven't you already missed the time, and I guarantee that you will definitely not have the freedom to go to other places, for a school student, part-time time flexibility is very important, right?" Revenue, too, will be affected? It's not a problem with us. ”

"Like, oh, so what exactly should I do?" Ye Qingqing's attitude changed quite quickly, so she agreed.

"It's probably a humorous picture, but we haven't figured out what it will be."

"I think I'd better go to the original house, and if I apologize sincerely, they might forgive me for being late." Ye Qingqing felt that this magazine was really unreliable.

――――――

Although it is said that some funny pictures are to be added, but no one has thought carefully about what it is, so there is no idea, Ye Qingqing has a handful of painting skills, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"Creation" is Zhang Qiuxi's strong point, so Hongdou and Shangguan Jin directly threw the task to her without any psychological burden, and the two were busy digging and sorting out the content of the section 'We have been deceived for many years'.

No matter which time and space, in fact, there are a lot of funny pictures at night, but almost all of them are spoofed by real people, and they have no reference value, and the comic style is the best choice, so in order to avoid the problem of infringement, those on the Internet in this time and space can not be used, and can only be searched in the brain.

The Legion of Colors collection? Big nostril series? These are really funny, but if you do this, it seems that there is a real danger of being suspended, even if these evil comics are not revealed, but the content is almost always around something, and no matter how obscure and shameful it is, it is impossible to serialize it on paper.

Of course, there are those that are funny and do not involve this kind of problem, Zhang Qiuxi shouted: "Qingqing, come over quickly, I have a character for you." ”

Ye Qingqing found someone who had stayed in the magazine office with peace of mind, and as soon as she heard the call, she came over and said, "What's the matter, did you think of any good ideas?" ”

"That's right, first of all, you need to draw a few facial portraits, which is probably this style." Zhang Qiuxi took out a pen and paper, and roughly drew it according to the way she had it in her mind, and it was okay to roughly outline it with lines at her level, but it was a bit miserable to draw it specifically.

"It's so simple, rude and ugly that I can't say anything, where is it funny."

"It's called a rampage comic, and what you want is whether you know this effect."

In the original time and space,It is said that the rampant comics originated in foreign countries.,In addition to the simple and rough painting style,Swear words are also one of the styles.,But when it was introduced into China, the foul language style was beautified according to the Internet culture of the Chinese people.,Some swear words are not so inferior after a slight change.。

Nima, Ciao, your sister and other words are all Internet products, even if the girl speaks without pressure, even if she hangs on her mouth every day, she will not be said to be swearing, and the swear words are so subtle, who said that the people of the Celestial Empire are not innocent?

Runaway comics are also because of their simplicity, and everyone can create, which is one of the reasons why it can be popular, but this also has a disadvantage, that is, the more people involved, the lower the overall quality.

If it's published in a magazine, there will definitely be no such thing as a zuò device, but it doesn't matter, anyway, people in this time and space don't know that the biggest feature of the storm is the participation of the whole people.

Zhang Qiuxi described Ye Qingqing to paint, and the two of them worked together to quickly draw the necessary facial portraits, and then Ye Qingqing drew another one according to what she said and what she asked.

"It looks like a lot of fun." Hongdou and Shangguan Jin also came over to take a look.

The most attractive point of the rampage comics is that the content is close to life, most of which are embarrassing things that happen in daily life, which makes people feel funny and empathetic at the same time, especially which exaggerated expressions can make this kind of love more vivid.

――――――

Coupled with a few violent comics, the amount of content in a magazine was finally completed, and after the red bean was arranged, he immediately contacted the printing house and the bookseller, who had been an editor for nearly a year, and these things were familiar to him.

When Zhang Qiuxi and Ye Qingqing came to the magazine again, the sample had already been made, and the front and back covers were made of coated paper, which was slightly thicker than the content page, and it felt very textured. The cover is hazel, with no pictures added, and the right side is lined vertically with three lines of block letters in brush font.

The most conspicuous middle position is two lines of words in a brush, still vertical, with the following words: From today onwards, let us cherish each other.

As the inaugural issue, of course, the introduction of the magazine is indispensable, and the purpose, style, and members of the general magazine are all introduced, and the number of pages of the magazine is thicker after adding these contents.

"Judging from the cover, it seems to be a little thicker and more mature, but it doesn't matter if the title of our magazine is mixed, overall it is still very good, when will it be released?" Holding the sample in his hand, Zhang Qiuxi was like everyone else, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.

"I have placed an order for 30,000 prints with the printing house, and the bookseller has also contacted it, and it is expected to be officially released next week." The red bean has really done a good job.

"Only 30,000? Isn't it too little, but we're selling it nationwide. Zhang Qiuxi muttered: "Anyway, I'm also a popular writer who once increased the sales of Fantasy World to 250,000, this number is too unconfident for me, right?" And it seems that the cost will not be recovered even if all of them are sold. ”

Hongdou said: "Please, you are very popular among science fiction lovers, but the popularity of our newly launched magazine is not comparable to that of Fantasy World, which has been established for nearly 30 years, you think I don't want to print more, but there are too many things to consider, so I can only take my time." ”

"You can't get fat by eating one bite." Ye Qingqing patted Zhang Qiuxi's shoulder and said: "It is because of your support that we have the confidence to print 30,000 copies, otherwise it would be a problem for me to see if we can sell 10,000 copies." ”

"Qingqing is right." Shangguan Jin also said: "The cost is not a problem, our printing volume is not much, the printing cost is higher, but with the addition of paper, each copy is about three yuan, and the price we give to the bookseller is six yuan, half of the profit, and the hope of making money is still very high." ”

"Half of the profits, that's a huge profit, right? No wonder so many magazines are established every year, and it turns out that this industry is so profitable. Zhang Qiuxi's attention shifted to profits.

Hongdou said: "Good sales can indeed make money, if you can't sell it, it's hard to say, not to mention the rent of the office, labor costs, manuscript fees, etc. are not small expenses, if we can only maintain sales of 30,000 copies, at most we will earn a little meager luck." ”
