Chapter 897: Meeting
At the end of March, the second episode of "The Demon King's Tutor" was serialized, and Qingyue took the opportunity to conduct an exclusive interview with Snow, and the video was uploaded to Weibo, Manjia.com and Popot, which once again set off a lot of heat.
During the interview, the host also asked Snow a question about why he chose to enter the comic world.
"Try. If a person wants to improve, he has to leave his comfort zone. So, I'm also trying to figure out how to be a better version of myself. ”
Snow's answer made many people's eyes shine.
It's easy to say that you can change yourself by getting out of your comfort zone, but many people can't do it - why walk when you can make money lying down?
But if you don't step out of your comfort zone, once the environment changes, many people may not have a job directly.
The story of boiled frogs in warm water should be heard by many people.
But some people also questioned why the person interviewed was Snow, not Shi Qun, after all, he was the original work of "The Demon King's Tutor".
Reading this choice, in fact, it also has its own difficulties, "Comic Future" and Shi Qun's negotiations have reached an impasse, if you are promoting Shi Qun at this time, it is equivalent to gathering popularity for Shi Qun in disguise and raising his value.
In e-book culture, all platforms have to make way for "Comic Future", in fact, it is not difficult to understand, who made "Comic Future" the pillar of e-book culture?
If you want to wrestle with "Comic Future", you have to at least surpass Duoman.com.
Obviously, Qingyue does not have this strength yet.
As for the negotiation between "Comic Future" and Shi Qun, the problem is not with Shi Qun, but Yu Chen, after learning that Shi Qun has a good relationship with Fan Yinmo (masker), he really wants to poach him - poaching people has always been a tradition in "Comic Future", and they have not only dug up one person.
The problem is that Fan Yinmo is the winner of the Golden Brush Award, and Duoman has thrown a lot of money at him, so the two sides also signed a five-year contract, otherwise he would not have been able to take away the huge sum of three million.
There are still two years left, and even if he leaves immediately, he will not be able to serialize it in "Comic Future".
What's more, even if it is forced to dig, a large amount of liquidated damages must be indispensable.
In Yu Chen's view, Fan Yinmo is the most suitable candidate, first of all, because he is young, which shows that he has a lot of potential to tap in the future.
If he can grow into the next Shen Xin in the future, he can at least guarantee the sales of "Comic Future" for the next 10 years.
But his contract is indeed a problem, especially, Fan Yinmo took the 3 million bonus of Duoman.com, if Duoman.com stupidly let Yu Chen go, then its decision-making level is the stupid head?
Fan Yinmo refused to breach the contract, and Yu Chen didn't want to pay too much liquidated damages, so the matter was temporarily put on hold.
At the moment, the best solution is to find a new cartoonist to partner with Shi Qun, but for a while, no suitable candidate can be found.
So, at the serial meeting, Yu Chen brought up this matter again.
"Teacher Shi Qun gave two choices, one is that Teacher Shi Qun recommends a new author, this person should be their classmate, and the painter is guaranteed; Second, it's up to us to find cartoonists. Wu Xiaoli looked at the notepad and said Shi Qun's thoughts.
"Newcomer...... Is it appropriate? ”
Yu Chen was a little hesitant, of course, if there could be a high-level newcomer, he would be very happy, but in fact, it is really difficult to tap a powerful newcomer, especially in the Internet era, "Comic Future" is not the only platform that makes creators excited, and the loss of newcomer cartoonists is serious.
It's been a long time since he's seen a rookie cartoonist.
"Teacher Shi Qun said that Teacher Masker will take time to guide them – they live together now."
Yu Chen rubbed his chin and looked at Wu Xiaoli: "Give them two weeks, let them try, if they can, they can be sure, if not, I'll find a cartoonist." ”
"Yes." Wu Xiaoli nodded.
"Also, how is "The Demon King's Tutor" now?" Yu Chen asked again.
Wu Xiaoli lowered her head to take notes, and said, "I don't know." ”
“……”
Yu Chen scratched his eyebrows with his little thumb, Wu Xiaoli is not an editor of Light Reading, and she really shouldn't know about the situation of "Demon King's Tutor".
"The results of "Magic World" have shown an upward trend, and the latest ranking has reached seventh place. Xu Jie, what is the current situation of Mr. Xifeng? ”
"It's nothing, my heart is knotted, and everything is smooth." Yu Chen chuckled.
"Heart knots?" Yu Chen was a little surprised.
"Mr. Lu Ning painted for "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny", and "Daily Life in a Small World" could only invite the cartoonist of "Young Future", he couldn't untie this knot in his heart, and when he created "Magic Creation World", he always thought about it, and he was distracted."
"How do you get him to untie the knot?"
"Hehe, I didn't do anything, I just let him watch "The Gate of the Destiny Stone" again. Actually, I always recommended him to watch this one, but he never watched it. Seeing that the ranking of the small book of "Magic Creation World" continued to decline, Mr. Han Ye was also very dissatisfied. Some time ago, I got angry in front of him, and he just dared to look down, and it turned out that he was hooked all at once. Now you're still telling me that when the single book goes on sale, you must tell him. Xu Jie said weakly.
When he saw Xifeng a few days ago, Xifeng complained to him, why did he recommend it so late?
GodTM's recommendation is late, he has already recommended it, Xifeng doesn't look at it, who is to blame?
Xu Jie was also very depressed.
"The Gate of the Stone of Destiny, is it really that good?" Yu Chen was a little puzzled, he didn't see it after all.
But Zeng Yue and Kong Xian called it a "masterpiece", and Xifeng was so fascinated by it, which shows that it is indeed unique.
"The Gate of the Stone of Destiny...... How to say, in terms of quality, on "Comic Future", it is the top three works, however, it may be cut in half. Wu Xiaoli interjected.
"Why?" Yu Chen was puzzled.
"The plot in front is to pave the way for the back, and it is very plain to read, and in the magazine, it is estimated that if you can't hold the most exciting plot, you will be forced to cut it in half." Wu Xiaoli drew circles on the paper with the signature pen in her hand.
"Have you seen it?" Yu Chen was a little surprised.
"Yes, Sister Yan recommended it to me, and the quality is very high." Wu Xiaoli narrowed her eyes and smiled.
“……”
"The Demon King's Tutor" is also the work of Shi Qun, you don't watch it, but you watch "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny...... Don't play according to the routine.
Is it really that good?
Yu Chen wrote down the name of this one, looked up and asked, "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny will also have comics, right?" ”
"yes, it should be just a few days. I want to see what effect Mr. Lu can draw. Wu Xiaoli explained.
This is the first time that Yan Fei has served as a personal editor of a cartoonist since jumping out of the magazine, and Wu Xiaoli is looking forward to the quality of the comics.
"What about Teacher Han Ye? What does he mean now? Does he want his new work to be serialized in Comic Future? Yu Chen asked Xu Jie again.
"If "Magic Creation World" can break into the top five, he will let the new work be serialized in the light reading, and from the current point of view, the possibility of the new work in the light reading serialization is very high."
"That's ......"
Yu Chen picked up the pen and wrote "The Demon King's Tutor", "The Gate of the Destiny Stone" and "Han Ye" on the notepad, and after hesitating for a moment, he added "Daily Life in the Small World".
In the future, light reading is going to take off, and "Comic Future" must prepare quickly.
