This delivery is the last before the Spring Festival.

After handing in this manuscript, the people in the studio had to work overtime for a few more days.

Draw one more page of the original manuscript before the year, and one less page after the year.

As a result, the people in the studio, like chicken blood, can't wait to draw all the drawings for the week after the New Year in one day.

When Xi Muhan opened the door of the studio with his suitcase, he was startled when he saw the assistant with red eyes.

When the assistants saw her, they didn't even have time to say hello, and they lowered their heads to paint.

Xi Muhan pulled the suitcase to the wall, tiptoed to the second floor, and saw Shen Xin beside him, who was concentrating on painting, and did not make a sound, quietly walked to Shen Xin's workbench, glanced at Shen Xin's messy hair, frowned slightly, "Brother Xin!" It's been a long time since you've washed your hair. ”

"Three or four days, right?" Shen Xin said subconsciously, and then felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly raised his head, only to see Xi Muhan looking at him with a dissatisfied expression, "When did you come back?" ”

"Don't worry about so much, hurry up and take a shower!" Xi Muhan took a deep breath and slapped the table with both hands.

"I'll draw this page......"

"Immediately, immediately!" Xi Muhan didn't give Shen Xin extra time at all, and directly pushed Shen Xin into the bathroom.

Shen Xin took the bath towel and clothes, looked at the bathtub, and could only scratch his head helplessly.

Since you can't draw, why don't you take a shower?

After taking a bath, Shen Xin put his clothes in the washing machine to wash them, wiped his hair with a towel, and came to the fence, but saw that Xi Muhan had already made a pot of coffee, gave everyone a cup, told everyone to rest, and then took the coffee, came upstairs, and filled Shen Xin with a cup.

"Sorry to interrupt your work." Xi Muhan put the coffee pot on another workbench and said softly.

"Huh? Not. In recent times, we have also fought too hard. It's not bad to take a breath of relief. ”

"Is it pressure?"

"Huh?" Shen Xin looked at Xi Muhan puzzled.

"Recently, I heard that there will be fluctuations in the comic industry, does it have any impact on you?" Xi Muhan asked worriedly.

"Want to hear the truth?"

"Of course."

"Yes. But it's not necessarily a bad thing. The relationship between the cartoonist and the magazine is just a partnership. As long as there is a good work, no matter where it is, it can be mixed. ...... to me For some cartoonists, the impact is not too great, because even if they change platforms, the income will not drop too much. But for another part of the less well-known cartoonists, it will definitely have a big impact. ”

Shen Xin held his cheeks.

From the bottom of his heart, he still hopes that "Comic Future" can survive this time, after all, the cooperation between the two sides is relatively pleasant.

When Xi Muhan heard Shen Xin's words, he also relaxed a little.

Since it doesn't have much impact on Shen Xin, she doesn't care.

"Not going back to school in the new year?" Shen Xin remembered this.

"Hmm." Xi Muhan nodded, "When I graduate and defend, I want to go back, about half a month, right?" The rest of the time stay in Hongcheon. ”

Although it is possible to write a dissertation without having to write it at school, it is even more inconvenient to consult professional books in the university library, especially if you need to look up books such as the Yearbook.

Therefore, going back to school to write a thesis is Xi Muhan's first choice.

Shen Xin bowed his head, "That...... During the Chinese New Year, let's go buy some furniture, right? You're going to work here, right? ”

"That's right." Xi Muhan nodded heavily, glanced at Shen Xin beside him, and narrowed his eyes.

……

After Shang Haozhi visited Wang Yunze, he was in no good mood, and the entire editorial department was also lifeless.

"Comic Future" seems to have entered a cold winter.

Bao Jiyi saw Shang Haozhi, who was distracted, and called him to the chairman's office and scolded him.

"What do you mean? Wang Yunze is amazing, I admit it. However, "Comic Future" cannot become a second-rate magazine just because it has one less author! If you're really good at that, roll up and get out of the way. ”

"But we're missing a flag......"

"Then another tree! What is there to hide from this? All good things come to an end. If Wang Yunze really stopped painting, would "Comic Future" go out of business? Hurry back to the meeting, set the general strategy before the year, and then we will think about the details during the New Year. Bao Jiyi frowned.

These words made Shang Haozhi also come back to his senses.

Now that the situation has developed to this point, he should put more energy into the future.

"How's Feng Shuo going over there?"

Bao Jiyi shook his head, and at the mention of Feng Shuo, his mood also became heavy.

"Who knows? From the current point of view, I think I want to build a comic website. Although they are new to the field of comics, they are much better at building websites than us. Similarly, although they have no connections in the comics industry, their development of copyright is not comparable to ours. The next thing you have to do is to first keep our own authors from being poached by them. If you poach two or three more signature cartoonists, even if "Comic Future" is the first domestic comic issue, it will not be able to bear it. ”

Avoid being dug up!

Shang Haozhi's eyes lit up.

Compared with Wang Yunze's half-sealed pen, this matter is obviously more important.

"You have to know which authors can be replaced and which ones can't be missing. Different authors have different strategies. Bao Jiyi reminded again and again.

Shang Haozhi bowed slightly, "I know...... Dong Bao, I almost missed the most critical issue. ”

"Don't worry. Although Feng Shuo is powerful, the resources it puts into the comics are definitely not as good as ours. The more we get to this point, the more cautious we become. ”

Shang Haozhi bowed slightly.

Although he was scolded, after untying the knot, his mood was much better.

Returning to the editorial office, he immediately held a meeting with all the editors, and at the same time told everyone that Wang Yunze would no longer draw long stories after the end.

Most people were already mentally prepared, but when they heard Shang Haozhi pick it out, they still made a whispered discussion.

"Now, I'd like to hear from you on how to find a way out of where you are."

The people in the editorial office looked at each other and were silent.

In case of deviations, it is necessary to take the blame.

Shang Haozhi looked left and right, and found that no one was silent, and his brows furrowed, "Didn't anyone speak?" ”

"Huh......" Wang Wenhong saw that Yan Fei was silent, and then took a deep breath, "Mr. Shang, I have a little idea." ”

"Huh? What thoughts、"

"Since Mr. Wang no longer serializes long-form comics, then, we have to find another cartoonist who can top Mr. Wang."

"How?" Shang Haozhi asked.

That's the key.

"First, find people from outside the magazine, and second, poach people from inside the magazine." Wang Wenhong crossed his fingers to hide the tension in his heart a little.
