Chapter 259: Looking for an Assistant
"It's not a big deal, the contracts are pretty much the same anyway."
Shen Xin handed the contract to Xi Muhan.
The world is as black as a crow, and no magazine will give absolutely fair treatment to authors, and "ComicFuture" and "Young Leap" are no exception.
Therefore, if you want to eat this bowl of rice, before you really have the strength of a magazine company, you can almost do it.
"By the way, Brother Xin, my last one is going to be changed to an animation." Xi Muhan rubbed his hands, a little hesitant in his heart.
It's something the editor said to her.
Although that book was only Xi Muhan's first step, the sales were not bad, and nearly 800,000 copies were sold in most of the year. Therefore, the magazine also intends to sell the rights to this comic. Coincidentally, "Girls' Century" was also very interested in this one, and the two magazines hit it off.
"That's a good thing." Shen Xin nodded hurriedly.
"But...... The cartoonist recommended by the comic party is...... "Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin quite tangledly, "It's Sister Lu." β
Yes?
Shen Xin blinked.
No, I didn't do anything, and I have to put an assistant in it?
He glanced at Lu Ning, but saw that she also lowered her head and was silent.
If this is the kind of look, it means that Lu Ning also wants to try it.
"Girls' Century"?
Shen Xin thought for a long time and nodded, "I know." I'll ask Brother Wang to help find a new assistant as soon as possible, and the rest depends on how you plan yourself. β
"I'm sorry......" Lu Ning said in a low voice.
"No need to apologize, no matter who it is, as long as there is a chance to debut, I welcome it. Isn't the purpose of doing this business just to be able to have your own works? Otherwise, why be an assistant? If you stay in the studio, I feel guilty and wonder if I have the potential to be a teacher. Moreover, Xiaohan's work is handed over to you, and I am more relieved. β
"Yes...... Is that so? Lu Ning said in surprise.
"Of course, I don't want Xiaohan to hand over the work to Uncle Xianshi." Shen Xin said with a smile.
"You're the salty uncle?" Lu Ning glared at Shen Xin, and the air fell into a brief silence, and then she also stood up and bowed to Shen Xin, "Thank you Teacher Shen for teaching for so long." β
"Okay, everyone will be peers in the future, don't be so restrained, think about the state when you beat me before."
"Teacher Shen, how long has it been! How do you remember? Lu Ning's face instantly turned like a red cloth.
"It's not so sad now, is it?" Shen Xin chuckled, "Okay, say hello to the two people below when you leave, right?" After all, everyone has been together and worked for so long. β
"Well, I will." Lu Ning nodded and said.
For Lu Ning's choice, Shen Xin is from the bottom of his heart to support and bless.
As a friend, he hopes that Lu Ning will have a better future, and as a teacher, he also hopes that his assistant can grow up, and Lu Ning also has such strength.
As for the new assistant, such a complicated issue, Shen Xin did not hesitate to throw it to Wang Wenhong.
Lu Ning resigned...... New assistant ......
Wang Wenhong was leaning on the back of the chair, and his body was a little weak.
The reason why some people choose to become assistants is because they want to hone their drawing skills, improve their experience, and one day become a cartoonist themselves and get ahead. The assistant's fee is paid by the cartoonist, the magazine or the editor, just to connect the dots.
Therefore, it is the norm for assistants to leave their jobs.
But after Lu Ning left, he had to find a new assistant. Whether the level of newcomers can meet Shen Xin's requirements needs to be considered. In addition, "Chess Soul" is getting better, and he must find an assistant who can be stable for a long time.
At this time, the editor-in-chief's landline suddenly rang, and many people looked back at Shang Haozhi, but saw him pick up the phone, said casually twice, and then looked up and asked others, "Luo Zheng...... Whose author? β
Luo Zheng, the first place in the "ComicFuture" Newcomer Short Story Competition.
The strength is there, and many people are optimistic about his future, but he is a little sharp in his life and things, which makes many editors not too satisfied.
Originally, Luo Zheng was the author of Jian Xiaomei, but the day after she came into contact with Luo Zheng, she immediately applied for it.
"Ye Hexu alone is enough for me to have a headache, plus Luo Zheng, I guess I have to die suddenly."
So, Luo Zheng fell into the hands of Xu Jie.
Xu Jie raised his hand, "Mine." β
"Hurry up and contact Luo Zheng, the advertising department is urging, let him go over and take two pages of photos, and, are the questions you asked ready? Remember, write an interview of no less than a thousand words. Shang Haozhi advised.
Today, the magazine wants to interview Luo Zheng.
Hearing Luo Zheng's name, Wang Wenhong thought about it.
"Yes."
Xu Jie immediately picked up the landline, dialed Luo Zheng's phone, and asked two sentences before saying: "Mr. Shang, he is stuck in traffic on the road - it should take five or six minutes." β
Shang Haozhi bowed slightly.
Wang Wenhong once again focused his attention on the display screen, and wrote down the barely qualified painters on a notepad.
"Still worried about the assistant?" Hook asked.
Recently, "The Killer's Diaries" has done well, although his image has been damaged and he has been ridiculed by other editors, but Hook feels that it is worth it.
"yes...... A little worried. The tacit understanding between Lu Ning and Teacher Shen has been cultivated. If you find a new assistant, firstly, your level cannot be guaranteed, and secondly, it will take a while to run in. β
"Yes." Hook nodded sympathetically, "Slow your time, right?" β
At this moment, Wang Wenhong's landline also rang.
He glanced at the display of the landline, and it was the extension number of the front desk.
"Hey, hello."
"Hello, is it edited by Wang Wenhong?"
"Yes."
"There's a ...... Li Jie's young man wants to submit a manuscript to you. The waiter at the front desk said.
Li Jie?
The name is somewhat familiar.
"Oh, you let him stay in the reception room, and I'll go over here."
After Wang Wenhong hung up the phone, he read Li Jie's name twice, and then looked up at Hu Ke, "Boss, do you know who Li Jie is?" This name sounds familiar to me. β
"Li Jie?" Hook raised his head and thought slightly, "Isn't Li Jie the Excellence Award in last year's short story competition?" Also in the top four this year. β
"Oh...... I remember. Wang Wenhong rubbed his forehead, "How could he think of submitting to me?" β
"Let's go and see it, make more suggestions, and give fewer opinions." Hook said.
Wang Wenhong lowered his head, took a notepad, and immediately got up and walked out of the editorial office.
The reception room is next to the editorial office and close to the elevator.
Wang Wenhong was about to turn around and enter the reception room, but saw the elevator door suddenly open, and two young people walked out of it.
One of them looked serious, wearing a purple down jacket with a folder under his arm. The other, on the other hand, wore a killer hairstyle, wore cheap sunglasses, and wore five golden rings on his handsβI don't know what kind of metalβwas dressed in colorful clothes with an indescribable flamboyance.
Wang Wenhong sneered and glanced coldly at Kill Matt - this guy is the first place in the newcomer short story competition, Luo Zheng.
