Chapter 148: The Insider
"If Y#039s is involved, wouldn't it be better for you to go directly to Mr. Shen?"
After ordering a milk tea and a dessert, Yan Fei also expressed her doubts. Mobile M.
"Oh, you say this...... I think that's because of the nature of the work. The job of a cartoonist is to draw good comics, not anything else. ”
"yes, and then what?"
"So, I don't want to distract Mr. Shen because of these things, he just needs to draw a comic. I can take care of the rest. Wang Wenhong said.
"What's the pay?" Yan Feihu was suspicious, she didn't believe that Wang Wenhong was such a caring person.
"Having said that, I want to enter the field of vision of the three major journals. Of course, if you really want to repay, it's not impossible. If the editor-in-chief of "RE" or "" talks to you, you can talk to me a little bit in front of them, OK. Wang Wenhong said softly.
Yan Fei looked at Wang Wenhong with more and more suspicion, "Are you really so kind?" ”
"Am I a badass?" Wang Wenhong rubbed his forehead helplessly.
"That's hard to say." Yan Fei pursed her lips.
"Don't worry, I don't have the heart to dig Mr. Shen, I just want to become the editor of "RE" or "" now. It's just that, with my current qualifications, I don't have the opportunity to enter these two magazines at all, so I can only find another way. Let these editors-in-chief turn their attention to Y#039s. If Y#039s had the last laugh and I played a role, my resume would have been richer. You get the idea, right? ”
Wang Wenhong looked helpless.
Yan Fei picked up the milk tea, took a sip, and then suddenly realized: "There should be no vacancies in the editorial offices of these two magazines, right?" ”
Wang Wenhong's face tightened, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, "Yan Bian, you can guess this...... What shall I say about you? ”
At Ye Hexu's book signing party, he overheard Ye Hexu's editor mention it.
"I'm not stupid...... You should have also gotten some clues, taking advantage of the information asymmetry between the two of us to engage in some mysterious actions. Yan Fei sneered.
Wang Wenhong waved his hand, "You really wronged me." I'm telling you, there are some things you can't do. After all, the two of us don't do things in the same way. ”
Yan Fei nodded, this is a fact, at least she never does the matter of digging other people's assistants.
"Then you say, what do you want to hear?" Yan Fei asked.
"You know the rules for the third stage, right?"
"Well, seven magazines are voting."
"General." Wang Wenhong shook his fingers, "To be more detailed, it is seven magazines that voted on the five works many times, and eliminated them at the end until the number of votes for one of their works is greater than 4." ”
Yan Fei was silent, she really knew these contents for the first time.
"Guess what's the biggest difficulty Y#039s faces?"
Yan Fei shook her head.
Wang Wenhong sighed, "The editor-in-chief of the magazine who participated in the voting may not have read all five volumes of the comics of "Y#039s". ”
"How is that possible?" The first thought that popped into Yan Fei's mind was that Wang Wenhong was talking nonsense, "How could the judges not have seen such a high-end award at the comic festival?" ”
"It's the highest prize, yes, and even a certain precaution has been taken to ensure fairness. For example, if a magazine has a work that participates in the third stage, their voting qualifications will be replaced by other magazines. The magazines that replaced them were selected by the candidate magazines.
"The editor-in-chief of the three major magazines and the four magazines with sales of 1.5 million copies may have seen all the comics in the competition, but the editor-in-chief of the randomly selected magazines may not have seen all the works.
"The popular works of the three major magazines, as the vane of the comic market, the editors-in-chief of many magazines will let their authors imitate, and even, eager to analyze every storyboard of these works clearly. However, they have the opposite attitude towards Y#039s, and even deliberately avoid Y#039s. ”
Yan Fei clenched the milk tea cup with both hands, and she suddenly thought of a situation, "Jealousy? ”
"That's right. It's possible that their magazine is on the same level as D, or even better. When they see a blockbuster like Y#039s suddenly appear in a second-rate magazine, they will feel a kind of heartfelt rejection. It may just be their subconscious behavior, but in some ways, it's really bad for small magazines.
"You should know by now, why the three major journals have won the most awards in the past ten years, right?"
Yan Fei's palms were covered with sweat.
If the editor-in-chief of the candidate magazine has not read the comics outside the three major magazines at all, and when it comes to the selection, it is indeed possible that everyone will follow the crowd and go with the flow.
It's not that they did it on purpose, but they haven't read the cartoons of other magazines, they don't know the quality of the comics, and in order to cover up their ignorance, they can only follow the crowd.
It sounds ridiculous, but when you think about it, it's possible, because the comic book festival is not just about the "newcomer award", there are other awards to be judged, including the most notable "best long-form manga of the year" award.
The entries for this award are almost the best of all magazines, and it is necessary to give a conclusion on which comic will win the award and what are the reasons for the failure of other comics.
During the week-long meeting, it was almost impossible to read all the entries in one go, and they could only pick and choose the key comics to read.
Thinking about it this way, Wang Wenhong's remarks are not unreasonable, but-
"How do you know so well?" Yan Fei was puzzled.
Wang Wenhong took a bite of dessert, the corners of his mouth curled, "I remember I told you that I would go to night school, right?" ”
"Hmm." Yan Fei nodded.
"My teacher at the night school used to be the editor-in-chief of a second-rate magazine, but the magazine had closed down, so he was temporarily working as a lecturer at the night school. One week, he drank too much and leaked the news when he bragged that he had voted for the comic book festival. ”
Yan Fei rubbed his forehead, this guy is really shit luck.
"What are you going to do?"
"That's my business." Wang Wenhong said quite confidently.
"Tell you, if you dare to stink the reputation of Y#039s......"
"Don't talk nonsense, okay? I still want to cooperate with Mr. Shen! Wang Wenhong interrupted Yan Fei's words, "Besides, you are slandering me." ”
"That's because you've done 'dirty' things." Yan Fei showed no mercy to Wang Wenhong at all.
"If the results of the comic festival satisfy you and Mr. Shen, then, once the three major magazines poach you and Mr. Shen, you must mention me, even if it is not really recommended." Wang Wenhong admonished, "This is my condition. Of course, if you think I'm making a small move at that time, you can also refuse. ”
"Are you so sure they're going to look for me?" Yan Fei wondered.
"Not sure. If I were the editor-in-chief of the three major journals, I would definitely be interested in the editor-in-charge of Y#039s. Of course, the attitude of digging you will not be too resolute, but there will always be a sense of temptation. What if the 'blind cat touches a dead mouse'? Wang Wenhong then said.
You're a dead mouse!
Yan Fei gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Yes, but only if it is...... You can't use 'dirty' means. ”
"Dirty...... Dirty? Wang Wenhong rubbed his nose, "That...... To change the word, right? I don't have to use shady means. ”
"Deal."
Yan Fei raised the milk tea and touched Wang Wenhong's coffee cup, which was considered to have finalized the matter.
