Chapter 70: Strengths and Weaknesses
"Yan Fei, your author has caused a lot of trouble."
The young man looked in the mirror and touched his oily hair with a professional smile on his face.
Song Ren, the only son of Song Tai. Since last year, Song Tai's health has deteriorated, and Song Ren has been exposed to part of the affairs of the magazine.
"I'm sorry, there have been a lot of things in the past two days, and there may be some things that I can't take care of, which is my dereliction of responsibility." Yan Fei bowed slightly.
"I don't think Shen Xin can be blamed for this matter, after all, Chen Zijiao did too much." The editor-in-chief coughed lightly and defended his subordinates.
Sure enough, it has been investigated, but why didn't you tell her?
Yan Fei frowned slightly.
"It's not a big deal for the two assistants to change jobs, as long as it doesn't affect Mr. Shen's creation." Song Ren spread his hands and said.
"How can it not be affected?" A cloud of anger suddenly rose in Yan Fei's heart, "Mr. Shen is a cartoonist in our magazine, doesn't it make people feel chilled when you say this?" β
"Do you know what it means for him to post this tweet? Both of our magazines are going to be involved. Song Ren's eyes widened.
"So what...... Our author has been wronged, and we just have to be silent like a turtle and let the cartoonist leave last? Yan Fei said stubbornly.
"You...... You're a turtle! Song Ren pointed at Yan Fei, angry, "Xia Worm can't speak ice." β
Yan Fei raised her head and stared at Song Ren, since she had already been on a par with Song Ren, even if she gave in, the other party would not necessarily forgive her.
Moreover, if this is what Shen Xin expects, she, as the responsible editor, must also stand on Shen Xin's side.
"Alright, you all don't argue." Song Tai waved his hand and interrupted the conversation between Yan Fei and Song Ren, "This matter has come out, and we have to think about how to solve this matter now." β
"Let Mr. Shen delete Weibo." Song Ren sneered.
"You can't do this, if you let him delete Weibo, it will be equivalent to forcing him to leave." Song Tai shook his finger, "Whether it is for the magazine or for Teacher Shen, it is a lose-lose result." β
"What then? Accustomed to him? Song Ren asked rhetorically.
Wait, look at Dreamer magazine and Chen Zijiao's attitude. If they want to fight, we will fight...... However, we cannot afford to lose, and we cannot afford to lose. Song Tae said.
"I hope Chen Zijiao's brain is better, don't do things you can't think of." Song Ren said helplessly.
"That's his personal will, and no one else can force him." Song Tai closed his eyes, pondered for a moment and raised his head again, looking at Yan Fei, "I asked you to come here to tell you not to irritate Teacher Shen." This matter shall be done according to his will. But I hope you take care of him a little more. After all, he's just a college student who hasn't graduated. β
Yan Fei bowed slightly, glanced at the editor-in-chief again, and noticed that the editor-in-chief signaled her to leave, so she bowed slightly and exited the office.
Shen Xin has already played his cards, so it depends on how Chen Zijiao takes the move.
The conservative approach is to ignore this Weibo, and to be a little more radical is to take over this showdown.
What would he choose?
Yan Fei also wanted to know the answer.
β¦β¦
"Smack!"
Chen Zijiao closed the notebook angrily, thought for two or three minutes, opened the notebook again, and read Weibo again.
"Go to warβGod's war! Won't you just dig the two of you? Can you use this? β
Chen Zijiao rubbed the stiff muscles on his face with both hands, angry in his heart.
If it's just this Weibo, Chen Zijiao can choose to pick it up or not, but Su Han, the one, also forwarded Weibo, and the number of people who followed it increased, and now if he refuses, doesn't it mean that he is afraid of Shen Xin?
This is absolutely impossible.
So, if he directly took on this challenge, would Wang Wenhong be angry?
After all, he had just poached two assistants in a row, making Wang Wenhong have some complaints about him, and it was only because Wang Wenhong was the responsible editor of "Crumbling" that he did these two things.
In the face of Shen Xin's challenge, should you accept it or not?
It's hard to choose.
Chen Zijiao hesitated, and even wanted to discuss with Wang Wenhong, but Wang Wenhong came to his studio at this time.
After greeting Ruan Ying and the others who were working, Wang Wenhong pushed the door in.
Chen Zijiao was overjoyed when he saw Wang Wenhong, and immediately said: "Brother Wang, early this morning, that kid from Shen Xin posted a Weibo ......"
"I know, that's what I'm here for." Wang Wenhong wiped the sweat from his forehead, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp.
"Huh?" Chen Zijiao looked confused.
"Opportunity." After Wang Wenhong waited for his breath to even, he expressed his opinion.
"What do you mean?"
Although Wang Wenhong coincided with his thoughts, Chen Zijiao still wanted to understand Wang Wenhong's thoughts.
"A chance to resurrect "Crumbling". Shen Xin's Weibo has attracted a certain amount of attention. The popularity of winning can turn readers' attention back to "Crumbling", get it out of its current predicament, and even give you the opportunity to wrestle with the newcomers of the three major magazines. Taking on this challenge has two advantages and one disadvantage for us. The pros and cons are up to you. β
"Say."
Chen Zijiao knows that he is sometimes easy to get up, so it is best to leave the analysis of the situation and ideas to Wang Wenhong.
"The first benefit lies in The Crumbling itself. Because the general framework of the story was written by Su Han, but we have now rewritten the whole story, so no one can be sure of the direction of the story, and this uncertainty will be greater as time goes by. Even, it may be further and further away from "Y's". But if we can get rid of Y's before it loses popularity on a large scale, we can have enough time to redesign the name and bring back readers. β
Chen Zijiao nodded, he is indeed feeling struggling now, and readers are losing interest in "Crumbling", and they don't know when they will abandon this comic.
"The second benefit is that "Crumbling" was released four episodes before "Y's", and now it is already designing the cover of the next single book. Shen Xin's condition for winning or losing is the sales of the single book in the early morning of February 1, and by that time the second volume of "Crumbling" has been on sale for more than half a month, and it is not yet known whether the second volume of "Y's" can be released. Now the sales of "Y's" are only slightly ahead, but if we add the sales of the second volume of "Crumbling", it is difficult to say whether the winner will be the winner, right? β
Chen Zijiao snapped his fingers, "That's right! From these perspectives, I do have an advantage. So what are my disadvantages? β
"Don't forget, in the first issue of the new year, a new serialization will be published. Due to the continuous weakness of "Crumbling", the magazine is ready to use that comic as a new signboard, and when the time comes, the focus of "Crumbling" will naturally decline. But Shen Xin didn't have this concern, he could give it a go. Wang Wenhong sighed.
"Wait, isn't it ...... new serial?"
"Teacher Gong Yan's new comic "National Football Coach". Wang Wenhong said.
"In other words, my strengths come from the outside, and my weaknesses are caused from within the magazine? Gong Yan, that old bastard......" Chen Zijiao's eyes were bloodshot, and he turned to look at Wang Wenhong, "Brother Wang, you won't abandon me, right?" β
"How is it possible, I am your editor-in-charge, and I will definitely advance and retreat with you. However, I also remind you that this is the best chance for "Crumbling" to win over "Y's", and if you can't win it this time, then you're done with the book, right? Besides, you just recruited two assistants, who are also more powerful than Gao Hang, and the quality of the original drawings will also be greatly improved. Don't you have faith? β
Chen Zijiao looked at Wang Wenhong in surprise, but found that he had a serious expression, so he knew that he was serious, and he was a little speechless for a while.
Indeed, now that the single book of "Crumbling" has been surpassed by "Y's", if you don't fight again, it will be difficult for "Crumbling" to return to the top.
Give it a go, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, in case ...... Definitely winning.
After thinking about it again, Chen Zijiao nodded, "I know, then let's fight to the death!" β
