"It's easy to say, but what about the specific measures?" Hook asked.

There are only two ways to solve the current dilemma, either to solve it internally or to find the right person from the outside.

It's all about how to do it.

"Outside...... It's actually quite simple. We look for suitable cartoonists from magazines other than Comic Future. ”

Poaching people, any big magazine has done it.

"However, cartoonists with this kind of strength are basically the banners of major magazines, and it is impossible to be poached." Jian Xiaomei reminded.

"I know. Mr. Shang only asked for the method, but did not ask how to solve it. Wang Wenhong said.

The editors present looked at Wang Wenhong angrily, but what he said was also true, the editor-in-chief did not ask about the implementation steps.

Shang Haozhi touched his beard and was silent.

Time seemed to stand still, and every editor looked at Wang Wenhong, waiting for him to speak.

It was about half a minute before Shang Haozhi asked Wang Wenhong, "How do you poach people from inside the magazine." ”

"It is to select one person from among the existing authors as the person that the magazine focuses on cultivating." Wang Wenhong said seriously.

"Who to choose?" Shang Haozhi asked rhetorically.

Wang Wenhong spread his hands, "Who I support, it goes without saying, everyone should have their own candidates." ”

Shang Haozhi took off his glasses and rubbed his temples.

Wang Wenhong definitely supports Shen Xin, there is no doubt about it.

But what about the others?

Yan Fei supports Yuchuan Yao, Jian Xiaomei supports Ye Hexu, and Hu Ke supports Shi Yan?

Isn't that messy?

"What else can be done?" Shang Haozhi continued to ask.

Wang Wenhong rubbed his chin, he didn't have time to think about it at all.

"Also, you can bring the backbone authors under Yishu Culture to "Comic Future".

"Xiao Wang, what we need most urgently is how to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Wang's departure, not to find a group of backbone authors."

This is what Shang Haozhi cares about the most.

Wang Wenhong shook his head, he was not an immortal, how could he think of a solution so quickly?

"I'm against that kind of proposal."

Just when everyone fell silent, Yan Fei spoke.

"Why—" Shang Haozhi asked.

"It's unfair to other authors."

As soon as Yan Fei's words fell, the other editors nodded one after another.

Although the authors under them are not as good as Shen Xin, they are all treasures to them.

"And what do you mean?"

"Instead of a flag author, I want a work that can carry Comic Future. This work may even surpass the status of "The Legend of the Dragon King" in "Comic Future". ”

Flag works?

Shang Haozhi's eyes lit up, and before he had time to think about how to implement this plan, Wang Wenhong whispered, "I know."

"What do you know?" Shang Haozhi was puzzled.

"You can set up an award – we can go around the comic book festival and go straight to a big prize for what we think is the best. Well...... It is based on the ranking of the book or the total number of votes in a year. As long as the prize money is large enough, it will definitely be able to motivate the author to draw high-quality comics. We can even reach out to the mainstream media and ask them to promote the work. ”

Shang Haozhi frowned slightly, and immediately picked up the pen and recorded the words of Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong.

"But there's another problem, we still have a monthly magazine...... What about monthly magazines? Jia Hui asked.

"4,000 reader questionnaires per issue?" Jian Xiaomei said suspiciously.

"No, if there are five weeks in a month, won't the monthly magazine suffer?" Xu Jie questioned.

"Yes, then ......"

"In line with the weekly magazine, if there are five magazines in a month, 5,000 copies will be drawn." Shang Haozhi clapped his hands and said, "This matter will be included in the discussion first." If you have any better ways in the future, you can also put forward it and discuss it together. Next, there is one more important thing. Teacher Shen, Teacher Ye, Teacher Yuchuan, Teacher Shi...... The editors in charge of these four cartoonists must follow your authors closely, and they must not be poached. Comic Future can no longer afford to lose a single teacher. ”

"Please." Shang Haozhi said solemnly.

Wang Wenhong, Yan Fei, Jian Xiaomei, and Hu Ke did not hesitate and immediately nodded.

Comic Future is in a bad situation, but it's no worse.

Because there is no lower limit to bad.

Coming out of the conference room, Wang Wenhong sat in front of the computer and fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong?" When Yan Fei was pouring tea, she saw the silent Wang Wenhong and was puzzled.

"I'm thinking about something."

"What's the matter? Award? ”

"Well, that's a question for the top to consider." Wang Wenhong waved his hand, but his eyes fell on the rookie editor.

"Xiao Ming, the same author you said, is it called 'Spiral'?"

Zhou Xiaoming raised his head, "Yes." What's wrong? ”

"Nope. I'm thinking that if that fanatic's drawing skills are very similar to Mr. Shen, he shouldn't be obscure. ”

Zhou Xiaoming's face immediately turned red, "Brother Wang, I don't need to lie to you, that painter's painting skills are really good." ”

"You misunderstood me...... I mean, if he's not drawing fancomics, he should be doing manga-related careers as well. Wang Wenhong explained.

A fan-author...... There's no need to care so much, right? ”

"Don't forget, Mr. Shen is also from the same author."

"Mr. Shen is drawing a personal biography." Yan Fei corrected.

Wang Wenhong rubbed his forehead, of course he knew that Shen Xin was drawing a personal chronicle, otherwise he wouldn't have thrown away that comic.

Oops, bad memories again.

"Instead of focusing on fandom, you should focus on the manga artists who are serialized online. Some of the comics they draw are quite good, and they are all original, which can better judge the strength of the author. Maybe it's really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? ”

"That's right." Wang Wenhong nodded, "By the way, have you found any particularly powerful authors on the Internet?" ”

"No, it's been a long time since I've been to those forums." Yan Fei's face was full of helplessness, "Translate two comics, discuss works with Haruka Tamagawa, and at the same time, write testimonials for comics that need an electronic version - I don't have time to visit the forum again." ”

"Yes. By the way, what are the forums you go to? I'm going to take a look during the Chinese New Year. Wang Wenhong asked.

"Will you text you later?"

"Okay."

Wang Wenhong doesn't have much contact with webtoon artists, so he doesn't know their level, and he doesn't know why they choose to serialize comics on the Internet.

But there is one point, because these cartoonists have no editorial guidance, their works must have certain flaws, such as bad rhythm, cliché beginnings, and plot routines, so they are not favored by editors.

Or, it is possible that you can't draw well.

If you can find a good name on the Internet, and then match it with a cartoonist with good drawing skills, you may not be able to make a popular work.

This is not only of great benefit to the magazine, but also has a certain bonus to his future development.
