Chapter 168: Fire
Shen Xin won the newcomer award, which not only increased the sales of "Y's" and "Neorld", but also started the fame of "Neorld".
The editors of the editorial department discuss the trade-offs of these comics and the serialization of new comics.
The procedure for most magazines is almost the same, first identifying the new manga that needs to be serialized, and then determining the manga to be cut in half according to the number of new manga.
In general, no more than 4 new manga will be serialized.
After nearly an hour of discussion, all the short manga that needed to be published were decided, and the new serialized manga was also discussed.
But the quality of these cartoons did not satisfy the editor-in-chief, and after two discussions, only one was determined.
In the conference room, everyone's eyes were focused on the name in their hands, and they couldn't make up their minds and make a choice.
At this moment, Song Ren pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in, and the conference room was instantly solemn.
The editor-in-chief was patient, squinting at Song Ren, with an inexplicable anger in his heart.
As the president, I don't control the overall situation, but I go to the editorial department and sit in on the serial meeting, which is really idle.
However, this time, Song Ren did not intend to just sit on one side, but sat directly at the other far end of the conference room, facing the editor-in-chief.
"Song Shao, what's the matter?" The editor-in-chief gasped and lowered his voice.
"I heard that you have a serial meeting, so I'll come and take a look...... Have all the serialized works been decided? Song Ren asked.
"Two short stories were selected, and only one serialized article was selected, and we will continue to discuss them." The editor-in-chief explained.
Song Ren bowed slightly, dragged his cheeks, and knocked on the table twice, "I heard that some old writers have also submitted, have they all passed?" ”
"No, one passed, the other two didn't." The editor-in-chief said.
"Why?" Song Ren was puzzled.
"Quality is not good. The storyboards are too messy, the attitude of creating comics is extremely perfunctory, and the story is not interesting. The editor-in-chief explained.
"Oh? I'll take a look at those two short stories that I haven't seen before. ”
Song Ren knocked on the table twice, and before the editor-in-chief could respond, Li Jiming passed the names of the two parts to Song Ren.
The editor-in-chief glared at Li Jiming, and Li Jiming spread his hands with a look of "I can't help it".
Song Ren didn't pay attention to the small movements of the two people, but carefully looked at the name twice.
"So be it...... Both have been given. Song Ren said.
"However, these two cartoons do not meet the requirements for publication, and it is not good to publish them on them, right?" The editor-in-chief wondered.
"These two manga artists are probably quite famous, and I remember one of them, who seems to have been serialized in ComicFuture, and the manga was only finished at the beginning of the year. Such a powerful cartoonist is exactly what we need. Song Ren closed his name and looked at the editor-in-chief.
"Song Shao......" Yan Fei raised his hand and said seriously, "This cartoonist also submitted four serializations to ComicFuture after the serialization ended, but each time he was rejected. I think he needs to adjust his state a little more and take the comics seriously, otherwise, he won't be able to draw good works. ”
"Oh, really?" Song Ren rubbed his chin, "How do you understand so clearly?" ”
"This manuscript was distributed to me, I took a look at it, and I felt that the quality was not good, so I checked his recent situation." Yan Fei explained.
"So, you even know how many times he submitted the manuscript, and the status of each submission? He wouldn't tell you that, would he? Song Ren said coldly.
Yan Fei's expression changed slightly, "Song Shao, what do you mean?" ”
"What do you mean by me?" Song Ren knocked on the table twice, just about to question Yan Fei, but the last reason made him calm down a little.
"What I mean by that is that authors also have privacy, and we should take into account their feelings. Just like Mr. Shen, before coming to "Neorld", he also achieved nothing, and in the end, he proved himself in our magazine. Perhaps, this painter is not suitable for ComicFuture, but for us? Trees die, people live, right? ”
Li Jiming glanced at Yan Fei, then at Song Ren, and suddenly, as if he understood something, he immediately said: "That's right, I think so too!" Moreover, these old authors submit articles to our magazine, if we reject them, what do other old authors think? I would definitely say that the "Neorld" brand has not yet started to play, so it is picky and picky. ”
Song Ren snapped his fingers, "Lao Li, you're right. We also need to use their fame to attract more authors and readers. That's it, Lao Li, you go and contact these two old authors, so that they can draw the original manuscript as soon as possible. As for the long ......"
Song Rengang wanted to knock on the table, but Li Jiming was quick and handed over a few serial names, "These are all things that need to be discussed." ”
The editor-in-chief furrowed his brows, and his eyes never left Li Jiming.
Fortunately, the thermos cup is stainless steel, otherwise, it would have to be crushed by him.
Song Ren glanced at the author's name, he didn't know any of them, and after roughly turning a few pages, he closed the name with interest, "I'll listen to you, after all, you are experts." Do you continue to have meetings? ”
You're done with yourself, what else are we going to have?
The editor-in-chief has a fire in his heart.
Some time ago, Song Ren had already made him very uncomfortable when he parachuted into the editorial department, and now he directly skipped the level to review the name, which made him feel even more disgusting.
With such a big package, what else do you want the editorial department to do!
The editor-in-chief wanted to shout loudly, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
"By the way, Yan Fei, you haven't told Mr. Shen that Y's is going to be animated, right?" Song Ren asked.
"Huh? I've told him that there are several companies in the negotiations. Yan Fei looked confused, not knowing Song Ren's thoughts.
"No play. ! Only 1.8 million was given, and 2 million were given to the anime two years ago, is the 'Newcomer Award' so worthless? Without three million, the animation copyright will not be sold! I can't let Mr. Shen suffer! Song Ren snorted coldly and closed the door of the conference room directly.
Yan Fei listened to Song Ren's words and sighed helplessly.
said that it was for Shen Xin's consideration, hehe...... I'm afraid that I have tasted the sweetness of selling game copyrights, and I am reluctant to let go, right?
3,000,000 ...... I guess it's no fun.
In the months after the end of the comic book festival, the copyrights of the winning works are the hottest and the prices are the highest.
If it drags on for too long, the next "Newcomer Award" is about to come out, and who will buy "Y's" when the time comes?
I don't know what Song Ren thinks?
In the conference room, there was silence, and each editor looked at each other.
"Lao Li." The editor-in-chief looked at Li Jiming.
"Huh?"
"You go, take the name and inform the three cartoonists and let them prepare the original manuscript."
"Oh......," Li Jiming replied.
"Go now." The editor-in-chief saw that Li Jiming had no intention of leaving, and emphasized again.
"But...... The meeting hasn't ...... yet" Li Jiming looked left and right, but found that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, and immediately understood that the editor-in-chief was manipulating him, so he clenched his fists and nodded slightly, "I know." ”
When Li Jiming left the conference room, the editor-in-chief said, "Continue the meeting!" ”
