Chapter 464: Difficulties
Xu Jie rarely drinks alcohol, and he feels that as an editor, he always puts his work first.
But after coming out of Zuo Yuan's residence, he also began to doubt whether he was a qualified editor.
Zuo Yuan was in his hands, almost a year, but he didn't even launch a decent comic.
It seems that Zuo Yuan's style does not fit "Comic Future", but he believes that it has a lot to do with him.
"Some cartoonists who can't make achievements, is it really their talent? It is possible that their talent was broken by a part of the mediocre editors. ”
This is what Tong Yu said on the show, Xu Jie felt very harsh at the time, and the more he thinks about it now, the more he feels that this sentence is very reasonable.
He may well be the author of the mediocre.
A cup of agave goes down my stomach and I feel like my throat is on fire.
"You don't come to pubs very often, what's wrong today?"
A very familiar voice came to Xu Jie's ears, he turned his head, and Yan Fei sat beside him and ordered a cocktail from the bartender.
"Don't you come very often?"
"Hmm. I just came back from Mr. Tamagawa and was a little tired, so I had a drink. Got something on your mind? Yan Fei asked.
"I'm not bad — not as a person, but as an editor."
"Fortunately, Mr. Luo Zheng's work is very good." Yan Fei explained.
"However, Mr. Zuo ruined my hands." Xu Jie said in frustration.
"There is no goalkeeper who doesn't concede a goal, so there's no editor who doesn't look away. Wang Wenhong is so powerful, didn't he look at Teacher Shen? ”
"But...... Mr. Zuo is preparing to leave Comic Future. Xu Jie said depressedly.
"Huh? Uh......" Yan Fei was speechless for a while, and he paused for about five or six seconds before he said, "If you have to make a change, it's also a way." ”
"Even so, I still feel a little sorry for him." Xu Jie sighed and said, "His ex-wife took his daughter away, threw him a sum of money, and cut him off. ”
Xu Jie briefly recounted the affairs of Zuo Yuan's family.
"That's a good thing, isn't it?" Yan Fei thought about it again and again, and felt that this sentence was most in line with her meaning, so she said softly.
"Huh?" Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yan Fei with scarlet eyes, "Xiao Yan, I'm very serious, Xiao Chan is really gone." ”
"I'm serious too. He doesn't have the conditions and energy to raise a child now, and besides, do you think it's really appropriate to let a child be with a group of assistants all the time? Teacher Zuo's energy will also be scattered, right? ”
"That's right." Xu Jie had to admit Yan Fei's statement.
"Teacher Zuo now has a sum of money in his hand and no children by his side, so his current situation is much better than before. Although emotionally speaking, it is difficult to accept, but intellectually speaking, the effect of the current situation is just that. What's more, Teacher Zuo has not produced grades, which should also be related to taking care of children. I really can't think of why the husband and wife want to divorce. ”
Xu Jie nodded, Yan Fei's words also made sense, whether Zuo Yuan's wife intended it or not, but Zuo Yuan's current situation was better than before.
"What is Teacher Zuo going to do now?" Yan Fei asked.
"Change to a smaller magazine......
"Okay...... Trees are dead, people are alive, and changing the platform may have a good effect. Yan Fei said softly.
"Alas, I hope Mr. Zuo can get through, right?" Xu Jie sighed.
……
Throughout October, in addition to the end of "The Legend of the Dragon King", the best news for "Comic Future" should be that "Game" won the "Best Foreign Comic Award". However, under the impact of Duoman.com, the influence of this award ...... To be precise, the influence of the comic festival is gradually decreasing.
Due to the end of "The Legend of the Dragon King", the sales of "Comic Future" fell by 200,000 copies again, and in early November, it was already less than 4.5 million copies, once again hitting the lowest point of magazine sales.
Sales of "Leap" and "Manga Fly" also fell, to around 2.8 million copies — and they were not as affected as much as Comic Future.
The entire Comic Future magazine is under pressure from declining sales.
This pressure is even conveyed to the authors and their studios through the editors.
Shen Xin doesn't care, because the comic industry will not die, but from one carrier to another, so his pressure is not too great, not to mention that despite the decline in the sales of the magazine, the sales of the single book of "Steel Refining" have increased slightly, and the 8th volume that has just been released has sold more than 650,000 copies in a single week, and the sales in a single week in District 11 have exceeded 400,000 copies.
You know,This is still the sales volume achieved when the animation has not been released.,In China,It's only lower than a few comics that have been driven by animation.,Sales have risen.。
In this case, Shen Xin's studio did not feel the pressure, and the assistants still completed their work on time as usual, drinking tea and chatting in their spare time.
"The latest popularity list, "Sky Wolf" actually reached the top." Gao Hang pouted, "I don't think it's interesting, it's just fighting and killing." ”
"Cool, free, coloring page...... All three points are occupied, and winning first place is not too much of a problem. I'm curious why "Holy Martial Academy" can break into the top five. Hang Jian said depressedly.
"Of course Mr. Fu's painting is good. Actually, Mr. Duan's painting skills are not as good as Mr. Fu's. Liu Rui saw that Hang Jian was biased against Platinum, and immediately refuted.
Duan Comment, Fu Bo choose one of the two, she will definitely stand Fu Bo.
"But Mr. Fu's painting style is similar to "Y's". Gao Hang whispered.
"What is it?" Liu Rui flatly denied it.
"Don't admit it, when Mr. Shen painted "Y's", I served as Mr. Shen's assistant, and also drew lines for "Y's", and also helped create "Y's" fandom, this kind of line, I am very familiar with it."
Shen Xin, who was upstairs, shook his head helplessly when he saw this.
It's really useless to argue about this, the style of painting is like writing, it is a way to express the story, and it can't be said that he writes articles in this style, and others are not allowed to use it.
It doesn't make sense.
Just when he was thinking nonsense, Xi Muhan came out of the office with a serious face.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xin was puzzled.
"Whether the script has been passed or not, there is no news from District 11 at all." Xi Muhan said depressedly.
"You're in too much of a hurry. So many scripts...... With more than 100,000 words, it will definitely take a while to translate into Japanese. ”
"I know, but I'm still nervous." Xi Muhan puffed out his cheeks and frowned slightly.
"It's okay...... The quality of the script is high. ”
This is not a polite remark, Su Han and Xi Muhan, the two of them did work together to create a high-quality script, of course, if it needs to be made into an animation, the production team still needs to change, but most of the plots are only deleted and fine-tuned, and the script will not be changed.
