Chapter 58: Chen Zijiao's Calculations
Chapter 58
"Smack!"
A loud bang rang out from inside the room.
The assistants who stayed outside to paint were silent.
They really couldn't stand it, especially since after Y's was published, the whole studio was completely changed.
Every time Chen Zijiao looked at them, his eyes were full of hatred, as if the two of them had snatched his treasure.
"Bang!"
The door was suddenly opened, Chen Zijiao's eyes were bloodshot, and black ink stained his shirt and fingers.
"Is the draft ready?" Chen Zijiao glared angrily at the two assistants.
"I didn't ...... There is no ......" the assistant looked flustered, and the ink droplets on the dipping pen splashed on the original paper, "I ...... I was just...... There is also a page with a page with a background that is not well drawn......"
"What? Didn't paint the background? Chen Zijiao's eyes widened, "Then why is the background quality on ...... "Y's" higher than yours, but it doesn't affect the speed of the comics?" Why! You tell me! ”
The assistant looked at Chen Zijiao's hideous face, and the chair involuntarily moved back half an inch, "I...... I'm sorry, I'm not as good as him......"
"It's not as good as him...... Dare to ask for such a high salary? Chen Zijiao's face turned red, "Get ...... Get out of here! I'm here...... No need for useless garbage! ”
The assistant slapped the table and roared at Chen Zijiao: "What a cross!" I don't want to do it for a long time! ”
The assistant put away the tools angrily and raised his middle finger at Chen Zijiao. Seeing this scene, another assistant quickly lowered his head, pretended not to know anything, and continued to apply the ink line.
The stunned Chen Zijiao watched his assistant leave angrily, unable to say a word for a long time, and it didn't take long for Wang Wenhong, who looked confused, to appear at the door.
"What's going on?" Wang Wenhong was puzzled.
". Brother Wang, can you help me find an assistant again...... By the way, I won't ask for this assistant anymore, and I recommend that you don't look for a job for him anymore. Chen Zijiao had a gloomy face, turned around and entered the studio.
Wang Wenhong frowned slightly and glanced at another assistant.
The assistant of the "Wang Bian ......" stood up from his seat.
Wang Wenhong waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down and continue working, while he took a deep breath and entered Chen Zijiao's studio.
The studio was in shambles.
Ink spilled all over the floor, and scraps of manuscript paper were dripping on every corner of the floor. Dipping pens, rulers, and even drawing pads fell to the floor, leaving only a crumpled copy of "Y's" on the table.
"What's the result?" Chen Zijiao turned his back to Wang Wenhong and pressed his hands on the table.
"Sixth place." Wang Wenhong said stubbornly.
"What about the single book?" Chen Zijiao turned around and looked at Wang Wenhong, the bloodshot in his eyes was very obvious against the backdrop of the whites of his eyes.
"Today's magazine said that it is necessary to increase the publicity of "Crumbling", and at the same time, the third reprint should be able to save it." Wang Wenhong took a deep breath and repeated what President Luo Zhi said at today's meeting.
"Savage?" Chen Zijiao's mouth opened slightly, and his eyes were a little distracted, "Could it be that ...... "Crumbling" can only be described as 'saving'?" Su Han, that stinky woman, why didn't she come to help? Isn't this her work? ”
Hearing Chen Zijiao's hysterical roar, Wang Wenhong closed his eyes, and after silently reciting three numbers in his heart, he opened his eyes and looked at Chen Zijiao.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Wang Wenhong asked.
"Nonsense, do I still have the heart to listen to lies?" Chen Zijiao glared at Wang Wenhong.
"Then don't think about the rookie king first, the most urgent purpose now is how to kill Shen Xin and his "Y's". Wang Wenhong clenched his teeth.
"Of course I want to kill him...... I want to trample him under my feet. Chen Zijiao said.
"That's not enough." Wang Wenhong shook his head, "It's not enough to just trample him under your feet. I'll say an exaggeration, by the end of June next year, only one copy of "Crumbling" and "Y's" will survive at best. ”
"Huh? Why? Chen Zijiao was stunned.
"Why? Hehe...... The reason is simple, the market. Do you think the sea of clouds is Hongchuan? Not at all, the volume of Yunhai's digestion of comics and single books is completely two orders of magnitude with Hongchuan, and the degree of attention is completely different. At the end of June and the beginning of July next year, it will be the time when the major awards will begin to compete, and the major magazines will exert all their strength in order to promote their trump card works.
"Although the previous 15 rookie awards were divided equally among the three major magazines, I speculate that "Crumbling" and "Y's" are good, and I think there is a chance to be selected for next year's "rookie award". However, the gap between Yunhai's market and Hongchuan's market is too big. Even if the entire comic market of Yunhai can't necessarily launch a super work that can compete with the three major magazines.
"So, now you know your situation, right? It's not enough to just stomp "Y's" under your feet. If you want to stand out in the domestic market, you must suck the "blood" of the Yunhai comic market. Either you destroy Y's with "Crumbling", or you wait to be destroyed by "Y's". ”
Chen Zijiao was a little dumbfounded, he only thought of winning against Shen Xin, but he didn't expect the reality to be so cruel.
"At the end of June next year...... only one work of "Crumbling" and "Y's" will survive......"
"What's wrong? Afraid? If you give up voluntarily, then there is no way. Wang Wenhong shrugged his shoulders.
"What a joke! If there is only one work that has survived, it must be "Crumbling"! Chen Zijiao slammed it on the table.
"It's okay...... You're not stupid. Wang Wenhong sneered, "Okay, after drinking the 'traditional Chinese medicine', it's time to get down to business, President Luo Zhi is going to give another round of advertising to "Crumbling", and the sales of the single book of "Crumbling" should rise." Recently, you hurry to put the story high. The tide is found, and success or failure is in this move. ”
Chen Zijiao nodded again and again, "I'll ...... as soon as possible Yes! ”
Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered something.
"What's wrong?" Wang Wenhong was surprised.
"I ...... Drove Gao Hang away. Chen Zijiao rubbed his forehead.
"Hurry up and call him back." Wang Wenhong glared at Chen Zijiao, and there was an impulse in his heart that "children can't be taught".
"No, you don't." Chen Zijiao shook his head, "Actually, there is one thing I am particularly concerned about, do you know what it is?" ”
"What?" Wang Wenhong asked.
"Horizontal...... The level of the assistant is not good. He...... And the white one on the outside. Idiot, not as good as Shen Xin's assistant! You can tell the difference between "Crumbling" and "Y's" from the single books of the two, especially in the background, the difference is even more obvious. ”
Chen Zijiao handed the single books of "Crumbling" and "Y's" to Wang Wenhong.
The painting style of "Crumbling" and "Y's" are two types, "Y's" is more realistic, at first glance, it will not just look good, but after a long time, it will feel very comfortable. "Crumbling" is the opposite, the characters are exaggerated, and the background happens to be a weakness, which is really a problem.
"What are you going to do?" Wang Wenhong said differently.
"First of all, of course, I want to rewrite the name, and in addition, I want Shen Xin's two assistants."
"Dig helpers?" Wang Wenhong was surprised.
"Dig assistants. Even if I give them double salaries, I'll have to order those two assistants. In particular, it draws a background. I want to see, without an assistant, how Shen Xin can draw "Y's"! Chen Zijiao said with a cruel smile.
Wang Wenhong sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"Then you don't have to dig two, just one." Wang Wenhong was puzzled.
It costs a lot of money to dig two people in a row.
"It's called 'bottom-of-the-pot draw'. I want to see Shen Xin's panicked look when he suddenly found out that he didn't have an assistant. And, as soon as the quality of one or two episodes drops, I have a chance to get back in the lead. ”
Wang Wenhong frowned, and Chen Zijiao chose the worst path.
In this way, it is estimated that he will completely tear his face with Shen Xin.
