Chapter 1119: Dinner

After the three goblets touched lightly, the three sat down.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to come over, it's really an honor." Wei Mao chuckled softly.

The woman sitting across from him was about fifty years old and well-maintained, and as a result, looked exceptionally young.

This woman's name is Xiao Yuhong, the CEO of a media organization, of course, there are more than one celebrities who are popular by him, in addition, she has also made some ordinary people become Internet celebrities and is very famous in the circle.

Wei Mao knew that someone was looking for him, but he didn't expect this person to be Xiao Yuhong.

"Where, I'm also very happy to meet the hottest cartoonists in China." Xiao Yuhong narrowed her eyes and stared at Wei Mao in front of her.

Wei Mao was slightly embarrassed, and quickly glanced at the young man sitting on the other side of the round table, and coughed dryly, "Mr. Fan...... Teacher Fan, it's just for Mr. Xiao, right? ”

"Clever. Not long ago, "Full House" was serialized in "Girls' Century", which is a big event for our studio. In particular, Mr. Wei used his own strength to prove that as long as the work is good enough, the sales of the single book do not have to worry at all, and readers will buy the single book, of course, in addition to their own strength, they also need extremely high-quality publicity, which should be Mr. Xiao's strength. ”

"Mr. Fan, I really want to hear that you are also a well-known cartoonist, why don't you draw now?" Xiao Yuhong looked at Fan Yinmo, who was three or four years younger than Wei Mao, puzzled.

"This ...... Cartoonists need physical strength and that kind of eye-catching thinking to be recognized. Instead of this, it is better to vacate the seat and let the newcomers with ideals and feelings break through. ”

"That's why you started the studio?"

"That's right. A lot of newcomers...... One of the reasons why newcomers with potential are often kept out of the door is that there is no one to lead the way. I'll admit that print magazines do a better job at this point. Although some of those comic editors have no experience in comics at all, they have seen enough comics to teach the discussions in comics to newcomers and refine their work. But there are really too few people who can get this kind of opportunity, and more cartoonists choose to serialize on the Internet in order to make a good meal.

"But the online comic platform is different from the paper platform, it does not mean that a work can be known if it is popular on a certain website or app, but it must be among the best in comparison with all online works in order to compete with paper magazines. I think Mr. Wei should have a deep understanding, right? Fan Yinmo turned his head and asked Wei Mao.

Wei Mao nodded.

"I know that...... For example, the volume of "Warm Full House" can have nearly 400,000 copies, which should be a good result, right? Xiao Yuhong took a sip of fish soup, and then wiped her hands with a tissue.

"It's not bad, it's very good, and so far, this result should be in the top 20 in China. Considering that there is more than one comic magazine in China, if it can be serialized in the magazine, it is estimated that it can also be ranked in the top few, right? Fan Yinmo was full of praise for "A House Full of Warmth".

Wei Mao took a sip of red wine and was silent, with a shallow smile on his face.

"However, if a cartoonist wants to become a well-known cartoonist from a newcomer, it will cost both time and growth, especially the cost of growing a cartoonist is very high." Fan Yinmo sighed.

"How?" Xiao Yuhong also became interested.

"Do you think, what is the first thing a newcomer should do if he wants to realize his dream? Survive. How long does it take to step into this industry and become self-reliant? Nobody knows. It could be a year, it could be two years, it could be a dozen or twenty years. Webtoons are so vast and uneven in quality that it takes to bury a comic in it, how long does it take to be discovered?

"There was a cartoonist who almost jumped off a building because of this reason, but was rescued in the end, so he survived by luck, and now he is a well-known cartoonist. Let's ask, if he hadn't carried the previous dormant period, would he have become a well-known cartoonist in China? If you can have a company or a studio, you can give guidance in creation, take care of your life, and pay a certain amount of living expenses to help them get through this difficult time...... Mr. Xiao, I think, should be able to dig out some excellent cartoonists, right? ”

Hearing Fan Yinmo's tirade, Xiao Yuhong also bowed slightly, "Indeed, in this way, it is necessary for a studio like yours to exist." ”

"Where. These cartoonists are all embryos, and I just offer some conditions. The environment has given them, but whether they can grow up or not depends on themselves. Fan Yinmo smiled quietly.

Xiao Yuhong narrowed her eyes, glanced at Wei Mao, who was tasting wine alone, and bowed slightly, "Seeing Mr. Wei's current achievements, I have reason to believe that you will also bring out the next outstanding cartoonist." So, this propaganda ...... Ready to do it? Like before? ”

Wei Mao had already expected that this dinner was for the promotion of "A Warm Full House", and when Xiao heard Xiao Yuhong mention it, his heartbeat accelerated again.

""Full House" was serialized in "Girls' Century", and there are still many people who don't know about it. Besides, you are on the rise in the country, and it is necessary to promote it again. The teacher has been busy creating, and I will communicate with "Girls' Century" and explain that "Girls' Century" will also participate...... Xiao always thinks, how should we publicize it? ”

"Propaganda...... I think interviews are good. To put it simply, ask Mr. Wei to do interviews with other well-known cartoonists. In this way, it will inadvertently pull Mr. Wei and other cartoonists on the same level, which will help elevate Mr. Wei's status, and at the same time, the interview will be dominated by Mr. Wei, and other people will be more likely to become foils. I heard that some cartoonists are unkempt, but Mr. Wei's image is so good, even if he just sits in the corner, he will be the center of the show. Xiao Yuhong couldn't help but glance at Wei Mao again.

"It's for the best." Fan Yinmo nodded hurriedly, "Teacher Wei, you think so too, right?" ”

"Huh?" After being reminded by Fan Yinmo, Wei Mao came to his senses and nodded hurriedly, "That's right, this is the best." ”

"I'll leave this matter to Mr. Xiao." Fan Yinmo said seriously.

"It just so happens that I have a program in my hand that is an interview, so leave this matter to me, right? By the way, the cartoonist who is invited must have weight. Who is the most famous cartoonist in China? ”

"Most famous...... It should be the one, right? However, please not come. Wei Mao laughed awkwardly.

"Who? I don't believe there is anyone else who can't get along with money. You name it, and I'll invite you over. Xiao Yuhong said confidently.

Shen Zheng ...... Mr. Xiao is not a person in the comic circle, so he may not know something. In the past ten years, the most famous cartoonist in China is only Mr. Shen Zheng. I'm afraid that Mr. Xiao won't be invited. Fan Yinmo's smile was meaningful.

"Please come or not, try to find out, right?" Xiao Yuhong raised her wine glass, "I'm still very confident." ”

The three glasses collided again.
