Leaving Zuo Yuan's residence, Xu Jie's heart did not calm down.

There were some things that he didn't tell Zuo Yuan.

The two requirements put forward by Shen Xin spread within the editorial department.

These two requirements should not be agreed to by relatively large-scale magazines, but Shen Xin is not an ordinary cartoonist, although he is only in his twenties, he is already a representative of domestic cartoonists.

Without "Comic Future", Shen Xin may not be able to reach the current height, but without Shen Xin, "Comic Future" may have sunk several times.

To some extent, Shen Xin and "Steel" have become synonymous with "Comic Future".

Yishu Culture, which has never encountered such a strong cartoonist, and what is even worse is the readers of "Steel Forge", and it has a strong stickiness, even if the D version appears, the sales of the single book in the first week still reached 1.5 million copies.

Perhaps there is a bonus for Shen Xin to save people who were injured, and some readers who have read the D version also chose to buy a single book after reading the news, so the final sales of "Steel Chain" gave the editorial and sales departments of "Comic Future" a breather.

This conflict, to be honest, surprised many people, but in private, Shen Xin's approach is understandable.

When the magazine can't guarantee the income of the cartoonist, the cartoonist must of course find a way to break out of the encirclement.

If it's another author, the magazine can stabilize it, slap it in the face at most, and give it a jelly bean. But Shen Xin can't, even if it's Bao Jiyi, he can't ignore his opinion.

The most urgent problem for the magazine is to find a replacement, and Shang Haozhi's plan is to vigorously promote "The King of Rock and Roll" and "Otherworldly Restaurant" in the past two months, and at the same time, he also told Jian Xiaomei to let Ye Hexu launch a new work as soon as possible.

As long as one of these three works can reach the level of "Steel Forge", the magazine can take the initiative in this game.

Is it possible?

It's really hard to say, at least Xu Jie has no bottom in his heart.

At this time, "Age of the Gods" is a ruler, can it surpass "Steel" and put it aside, can other comics surpass "Age of the Gods"?

Difficult!

With a concern in his heart, Xu Jie took the subway to Luo Zheng's studio, and just opened the door, a smell of pickled pepper came to his face.

It is the taste of pickled pepper instant noodles.

Xu Jie wrinkled his nose, swallowed saliva, and his stomach inadvertently gurgled sound.

"Mr. Luo, what about eating noodles?" Xu Jie looked around, Luo Zheng and three assistants were gobbling up instant noodles.

"Hmm." Xu Jie answered, sucked a noodle into his mouth, and looked up at Xu Jie, "Didn't the name and the original manuscript be handed over to you?" ”

"I know." Xu Jie choked and coughed.

"Do you want to eat?"

Xu Jie swallowed his saliva again, thought about it, and said, "Have a bowl." ”

Luo Zheng handed Xu Jie a cup of instant noodles, pointed to the kettle and said, "Pour the water yourself." ”

Xu Jie put the instant noodles on the table and pulled a chair, "I'll talk about eating noodles later...... The magazine is going to push a comic out. ”

"Then push, what does it have to do with me?" Luo Zheng took the bubble noodle cup and took a sip of the noodle soup.

"Of course it does. The comics that the magazine is preparing to promote are "King of Rock and Roll" and "Otherworldly Restaurant". ”

Luo Zheng stopped, looking at Xu Jie with bright eyes, "Push? By how much? ”

"Huge! All the resources that can be used, all are used. Xu Jie asked.

"Because Steelforge is closed?" Luo Zheng asked rhetorically.

"Well, the closure of Steelforge and the end of Hunting Abyss have caused the quality of Comic Future to decline. During this time, the magazine must find a comic that can carry the entire magazine, and judging from the current situation, it should be "King of Rock and Roll" and "The Abyss" that have the best chance...... Didn't you say that the magazine doesn't give you more resources than "Steel"? Now's your chance. Xu Jie stared at Luo Zheng.

"Here's your chance!?" The corners of Luo Zheng's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smile, "This is indeed an opportunity, but you have to tell me how many weeks "Steel Forged" will be closed, and I will arrange the plot." ”

Last time, "King of Rock and Roll" was just one step away from becoming the hottest comic of "Comic Future".

That's right, just one step away!

If you can grasp the opportunity last time, not to mention that you can win "Steel Forged", at least you can compete with "Steel Forged" for the first place in many small books.

thought that "The King of Rock and Roll" would be pressed by "Steel" all the time, but he didn't expect that because of the unexpected suspension of "Steelcore", he got another opportunity.

He knew why Shen Xin closed the publication, and he admired Shen Xin's actions, but one yard is one yard, such a good opportunity is placed in front of him, if he doesn't grasp it, isn't he a fool?

Xu Jie knew that what Luo Zheng said was right, if there was a definite time frame, the arrangement of the plot would be more reasonable.

"8 weeks...... Or above. ”

"I see." Luo Zheng bowed slightly, "I have one condition." If that happens again last time, I hope the magazine will support me. ”

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the "last time" that Luo Zheng said meant "the accusation made by the music column group against him".

"Don't worry, this time is different from last time...... The magazine will definitely support you. Xu Jie said in a deep voice.

"That's fine." Luo Zheng held a stick of instant noodles, "sucked" and sucked it into his mouth.

At the same time, Jian Xiaomei also told Ye Hexu what Shang Haozhi meant, hoping that he would draw a new comic soon.

"Did you have an accident?" Ye Hexu looked up at Jian Xiaomei.

"Huh?" Jian Xiaomei was slightly stunned, and looked at Ye Hexu in surprise, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"Mr. Shen's injury was not serious, and the two-month break was enough for him to recover. Before, I made an agreement with the monk that after the end of "Hunting the Abyss", I would add a short comic, and the next thing happened to be the serialization of "Steel Forge...... Mr. Shang is so anxious, it can only mean that "Steel Refining" cannot be serialized as scheduled, and the absence is not short, and the magazine did not issue relevant announcements, it should be that they don't want others to know...... So, I guess a little bit......"

Ye Hexu's voice stopped abruptly.

"What?"

"Mr. Shen has a conflict with the magazine...... I heard that Mr. Shen went to the magazine two days ago, right? Ye Hexu asked rhetorically.

A cold sweat broke out on Jian Xiaomei's forehead, and Ye Hexu's mind turned too fast, right?

"Why are they arguing?" Ye Hexu asked.

"I don't know."

The magazine obviously wanted to suppress this matter, and Jian Xiaomei couldn't say much.

"In that case...... You told Mr. Shang that after the end of "Hunting the Abyss", I will travel to find creative inspiration. ”

"Huh? Tourism? When will you be back? Jian Xiaomei was startled.

"I don't know, look at the results of the negotiation between the magazine and Mr. Shen." Ye Hexu shook his head.

"Such a great opportunity, and you just gave it up?" Jian Xiaomei said in surprise.

"Jian Xiaomei!? I'm not stupid. Ye Hexu showed a wicked smile, "The level of "Steel Forge" is far superior to other domestic comics, and it is a royal comic, from this point of view, there is no one in China that can compare, let alone "Comic Future"; Secondly, you don't think that you can create a comic comparable to "Steel" in just two months, right? No way. If it could be done so easily, other cartoonists would have created it long ago. ”

Ye Hexu smiled and said no more.

Shen Xin's importance to "Comic Future" is more important than Wang Yunze before, even if he makes some excessive requests, the magazine will meet them. This stalemate between the two sides shows that Shen Xin has touched the core interests of the magazine. He wondered what those core interests were.

In this case, if he has to "team", he will only stand with Shen Xin, because they are all authors and may have the same interests.

Of course, he couldn't say these words to Jian Xiaomei.

"Teacher Shen may face the situation of Teacher Wang......"

"No, it won't. Don't forget, when the magazine was embarrassed by Mr. Wang, there was no such large-scale D version. Ye Hexu shook his head, "Comic Heaven has sent a bunch of useless tweets, but one thing is right. Version D can indeed let more people know about a work. ”

Jian Xiaomei's eyelids jumped twice, Ye Hexu's perspective on things was different from others.
