Chapter 669: Scramble
"Mr. Shen's new work?"
Hook's eyes lit up, and he eagerly picked up the name that was placed on the table.
The surrounding editors, Jia Hui, Li Junwen, Xu Jie and others, couldn't wait to look at Hook.
The original manuscript of "Steel Forge" has been published in full, and the serialization in the magazine will end in the next month.
Although the length of "Steel Refining" is far from that of works such as "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss", in terms of quality, it is far more than the other two, and at the same time, "Steel Forged" not only has a high popularity in China, but also has a lot of popularity abroad.
Once Steelforge is over, it's hard to predict how it will affect Comic Future.
Ye Hexu's new book "Demon Dao" has also submitted a name, which has just been approved by the editor-in-chief, but it is difficult for a new comic to make up for the loss caused by the end of "Steel".
If Shen Xin can draw another high-quality comic...... No, it doesn't even need to be too high, as long as he drew it, it should be able to continue the popularity of "Steel", and when "Demon Road" and other comics are added, "Comic Future" should be able to return to its current level.
Therefore, no matter what, let Mr. Shen's new work be published in the magazine.
Hook was apprehensive, opened the envelope, and placed Name on the table.
“Death…… Note? ”
Seeing the title of the book, Hook, like Yan Fei, didn't understand the meaning, but after he flipped through it, the blood rushed to his brain, and he took a breath, and couldn't wait to read the name again.
Then, without thinking, Hook put away Name, picked up the envelope, and stood up.
"I'll go to the editor-in-chief."
After dropping this sentence, Hook left the editorial office.
"Editor-in-chief?"
Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, and her eyes quickly shifted to the editor-in-chief's desk, which was empty.
"Where did the editor-in-chief go?" Yan Fei said confusedly.
"Meeting." Xu Jie stretched his muscles, "The editor-in-chief and Mr. Shang and Mr. Zeng have a meeting together, and it is estimated that it will be half an hour." By the way, how about Mr. Shen's new book? ”
Xu Jie couldn't see the name, so he could only judge the quality of Shen Xin's new book in Yan Fei's answer.
"New Book...... It's wonderful. Yan Fei thought back to the name she had seen and said softly.
When Jian Xiaomei and Xu Jie heard Yan Fei's words, their expressions tightened.
Ye Hexu and Luo Zheng are their authors, and "Demon Dao" and "King of Rock and Roll" are the works that the magazine focuses on, so they are very concerned about their respective competitors.
Among many cartoonists, Shen Xin is undoubtedly the author they focus on.
Yan Fei only said five words, but in their ears, it meant something else.
It's exciting...... What level will it be?
Speculation inevitably arose in the hearts of the two people.
With the envelope in hand, Hook hurried upstairs to the door of the conference room and knocked on the door twice.
"What's the matter?"
Shang Haozhi's voice came from inside the room.
"The name of Mr. Shen's new book has come out." Hook explained.
"So fast?"
I don't know who said something in the room again, and then, the door of the conference room opened, and Yu Chen let Hook enter the conference room.
The meeting was an internal meeting of Comic Future, and there were only three participants, Shang Haozhi, Zeng Yue and Yu Chen.
Speaking of which, the reason why these three people sit together also has their own reasons.
The magazine and the app are both in charge of Shang Haozhi, but Yu Chen and Zeng Yue each have a group of subordinates, saying that they have no ideas, which is impossible.
From Zeng Yue's point of view, the APP has been redone, optimized the page, made it easier for readers to accept, and at the same time simplified the steps of online payment, so that more people are willing to use online payment, and a series of best-selling comics such as "Steel Tempering", "Chess Soul", "Hunting Abyss", and "The Legend of the Dragon King" have also been added to the app, which not only enriches the library, but also retains readers.
Although it can't catch up with Duoman for the time being, its good momentum makes the senior management very confident in the future of the app.
In the next step, the group will spend a lot of money to promote the app and seize the app comic market as soon as possible - the app of "Manga Fly" will be launched soon, and the apps of magazines such as "Feiyang" will follow.
Therefore, Zeng Yue, who is in charge of the app, has received the attention of the high-level.
In comparison, although "Comic Future" still sold about 4 million copies, this sales were topped by the "Steel" large-scale update.
After the end of "Steel Chain", the sales of "Comic Future" will definitely decline, which is also what Yu Chen is most anxious about.
But Zeng Yue was also dissatisfied, and the magazine serialized in "Comic Future" was uploaded to the app two or three months later.
People who like to read comics either buy paper magazines or read the D version online, and when the comics are sold on the app, sales will also suffer.
Shang Haozhi called the two of them over to discuss how to balance the relationship between the app and "Comic Future", but more than half an hour passed with little success, and at this moment, Hook came to the conference room with Name.
"Teacher Shen's name?" Shang Haozhi looked at Yu Chen suspiciously, knocked on the table twice, "Old Yu ......"
"Huh?" Yu Chen had just drawn out the name, and he hadn't had time to look at it yet.
"Make another copy, I'll take a look." Shang Haozhi said.
Yu Chen nodded, and just got up, Zeng Yue answered again: "+1." ”
“……”
Yu Chen glared at Zeng Yue, turned around and came to the small room next door, and then the sound of a photocopier running sounded in the room.
It didn't take long for Yu Chen to return to the conference room with two names, and handed the names to the two people separately, and after he sat down, his eyes fell on the name.
In addition to the fact that the cover of this name is a little brief, the lines of the follow-up sketches are relatively clear, which is neater than that drawn by some old authors, and it looks more comfortable.
The painting style of "Chess Soul" and "DN" is in the same vein, especially the painting style behind "Chess Soul", which is already very close to "DN".
Yu Chen also had this feeling when he saw the name in his hand, and the characters outlined by the lines made him feel like he was watching "Chess Soul".
However, the original manuscript of "Steel Forged" has just been submitted, and Shen Xin has handed in the name of the new book again, this speed is too fast, I don't know what Shen Xin is anxious about? Hopefully there will be no problem with the quality.
Retracting his mood, Yu Chen focused on the story, and from the moment "DN" appeared, he was attracted.
Frowning, confused, surprised, enlightened......
All kinds of emotions surged into Yu Chen's heart.
Page 51 of Name, unconsciously, was turned to the last page by him.
After reading the last division, Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, his heart couldn't be calm for a long time, he just raised his head, and his confused eyes happened to make contact with Zeng Yue's gaze.
Not good!
Yu Chen secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly raised his hand.
"Mr. Shang, this short comic, the magazine (app) is going to be!"
Yu Chen and Zeng Yue said in unison, their eyes looking at Shang Haozhi at the same time.
"What's the hurry? This comic can't run again. ”
Shang Haozhi glared at the two of them, crossed his fingers, and placed them in front of him.
