Chapter 860: Balance
When Xifeng heard this, his heart was overjoyed.
If "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" signs a contract with "Qichuang Library", the person who will be most affected should be him.
After all, "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" is currently ranked first on the click list, and "Daily Life in a Small World" is ranked second.
A magazine has limited resources, and he is certainly confident that he can win "The Gate of the Destiny Stone", but the editor and president of the magazine don't necessarily think so.
Therefore, when he heard that "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" did not sign a contract with the magazine, he was also relieved.
"Why didn't you sign the contract?" Xifeng asked casually.
"Why? Actually, there are not so many whys...... Others are reluctant to sign the contract, so Editor-in-Chief Kong can't hold someone else's hand and sign the contract, right? Xu Jie looked helpless.
“……”
Xifeng didn't expect this to be the reason.
There is a contract that is not signed...... You're not stupid, are you?
"However, although that one is good, it is not indispensable, Editor-in-Chief Kong tried it a few times, but the other party did not reply, so I didn't contact the other party again." Xu Jie shrugged his shoulders.
"That's a shame." Xifeng laughed awkwardly and rubbed his nose.
The magazine may think that "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" is dispensable, but for him, "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" may really be a stumbling block for him, but now, the stone is gone.
"By the way, one more thing...... may have some influence on "Magic World". Xu Jie hesitated, but said another thing.
"Huh?"
The smile on Xifeng's face gradually froze.
"Next year, right? As soon as the first half of the year, there should be a comic serialized in "Comic Future". At that time, it may affect the results of "Magic World". Xu Jie took a deep breath.
"It's Mr. Shen's work, right?"
"Huh?" Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head again and again, "What do you want?" If it is Mr. Shen's new book, there is no such thing as 'maybe'. It's another book, which is now being negotiated, and it's almost coming to fruition. Mr. Yu's expectations for this work are no less than those of "Magic Creation World...... No, it should be said that expectations are higher for this work. ”
"So powerful?"
"yes. This cartoonist is a native of China and has a certain reputation in District 11, and now to come back from District 11 is also an opportunity for us. Could it affect a lot of people in Comic Future this time? Xu Jie's expression was solemn.
"Will it affect Teacher Shen Zheng?" Xi Feng was very unconvinced.
"This ...... It's hard to say. Xu Jie pondered for a long time, and finally did not give a definite answer.
"Impossible, right? Even Teacher Shen can't compare to him? Xi Feng chuckled in his heart.
He is not a cartoonist, but it does not prevent him from knowing Shen Zheng - the comic circle of mixed Huaxia, if you don't know who Shen Zheng is, it would be too much of a failure - in Han Ye's words, the work "Steel Refining", whether it is from the storyboard or the story framework, can be called a textbook level.
Xifeng went to Han Ye's studio, and really saw a complete set of "Steel Refining", and the cover was almost all torn, which also made him full of curiosity about Shen Xin, but he never had a chance to meet him.
Now when I heard that Shen Xin might be influenced by another new book, I muttered a little in my heart.
Is that new book really that good?
"From my personal point of view, Mr. Shen will not be affected. But...... There's a lot that can't be said. Moreover, now that Mr. Shen has not serialized a new work in "Comic Future" for almost two years, the magazine must train another newcomer. ”
The way of balance.
Xifeng immediately understood that such an approach was definitely not advisable, but Yishu culture was also very entangled now.
They want to seize the initiative, however, in the face of the strong Shen Xin, they don't want to let go.
"Now, the old editors of the magazine have left, and a new batch of editors have been hired. I also want to know now who will be the editor in charge of Mr. Shen. ”
Wang Wenhong, Yan Fei, Jian Xiaomei...... There were three fewer people in the editorial department at once, and the workload of the old employees immediately came up.
The two chatted briefly for a while, and when Xu Jie was about to leave, Xifeng did not forget to tell him not to forget to contact Lu Ning.
After Xu Jie closed the door, Xifeng took out his mobile phone and opened the light ranking list on the Internet, and "The Gate of Destiny Stone" was still ranked first.
When he sees this now, his heart is sour, especially the comments in the comment area, which makes him envious too much - in addition to recommending this one, it is the discussion of the plot.
It's good to have such readers.
Of course, there are trolls, but which one doesn't have trolls?
Xu Jie's finger stayed above "Start Reading" for more than ten seconds, but still chose to exit the interface.
It's not that there are no books to read? Do you have to read this one?
Don't look!
Xi Feng secretly swore in his heart that even if the results of this book really surpassed him in the future, he would not read it.
……
Xifeng gave Xu Huang a big problem.
Lu Ning, please? Hehe...... This kind of thing, just ask.
Xu Jie really didn't expect Lu Ning to agree, but the reality is that Lu Ning didn't disappoint Xu Jie either, and on the phone, he rejected Xu Jie very cleanly.
"Sure enough, no." After Xu Jie hung up the phone, he lay on the desk weakly.
"What do you think?" Hook, who was sitting opposite, sneered, "If it's serialized in a magazine, I won't say anything." You now let Mr. Lu draw a webtoon for a newcomer, and there is no other copyright income, please, that's Mr. Lu, she and Mr. Xi painted "Ding Food", and "Demon Dao" competed for the first place at the beginning. ”
"Don't say it, I know it's wrong. I shouldn't have listened to Mr. Xifeng in the first place. Xu Jie rubbed his forehead.
He was really embarrassed to be said by the team leader.
"Having said that, the contract between Teacher Lu and Teacher Xi should also expire, right?" Li Junwen leaned back in his chair.
"It seems to be, but the editor in charge of the contract of the two teachers is Yan Fei, she has left, and the two teachers have no editors." Xu Jie stretched out his hand.
"Don't think about these things. Mr. Xi should not sign a contract again, and besides, even if he does, it is impossible to sign a long-term contract. After all, Mr. Shen is there. Hook waved his hand.
The others looked at each other and sighed.
With Shen Xin's character, Xi Muhan can sign works, but if he wants to sign a contract exclusive to a similar contract, there is no way.
"By the way, how is that work going?" Xu Jie whispered.
"That incident was led by Chairman Bao, and Mr. Yu agreed, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"I really can't think of why the magazine signed a comic that has already been released publicly?" Zhou Xiaoming held his cheeks, his face full of doubts.
As a newcomer who has just joined the magazine for a few years, his qualifications have also aged after several old employees have left.
"You don't understand that, do you? First of all, this comic has been tested by readers in District 11, and its network click rate should be relatively high among Chinese cartoonists, and secondly, although it has been recognized by readers, however, the picture of that comic is very bad, which affects the results, indicating that there are further opportunities. Finally, although this comic is popular in District 11, not many people know about it in China, so it is convenient for us to pack. If we can take it and hire high-level cartoonists, we may not be able to create a high-quality comic, like "Steel". ”
Dong Zihao, the editor who had just been transferred from "Juvenile Future", analyzed seriously.
The others smiled awkwardly and did not speak.
Like "Steel"? Who gave the courage?
