In recent times, the most popular comic in China is undoubtedly "Chess Soul".

This kind of heat is not only true in "ComicFuture", but other magazines are also feeling the pressure from "Chess Soul".

This is the case with the editorial office of MangaFly magazine.

Among these people, the most stressed person is undoubtedly Yan Fei.

Initially, when Yan Fei entered "MangaFly", she was always underestimated by the editors of the editorial department.

The ability of an editor who was fired from a second-rate magazine is self-evident.

As for Neorld's later release of the letter of apology, the editorial office ...... To be precise, there is basically a consensus in Hongchuan's editorial circles that the so-called apology is nothing more than the concession made by "Neorld" under pressure from Shen Zheng.

As for why Yan Fei was allowed to enter the editorial department of "MangaFly", there are many theories.

Some say that Yan Fei is a relative of the editor-in-chief Yuan Zhe, and some people say that Yuan Zhe once borrowed a small sum of money from Yan Fei, and this time it was to repay the favor.

Yan Fei did not defend himself, and Yuan Zhe did not explain.

Later, Yan Fei passed N2 in less than a year, N1 in two years, and won the Best Foreign Comics Award at the Comics Festival with "Slam Dunk".

If "Slam Dunk" has little to do with Yan Fei, then after she became the editor in charge of the pillar comic "Drag Gentleman", the average ranking of "Drag Gentleman" was raised from sixth to third, which was a real achievement, which made other editors shut up.

As the main comic of this year's "MangaFly", "Gentleman in Disguise" aims to be the "best feature of the year", and is currently ranked second on the "best feature" list, with a gap of about 5 million popularity with the first place "Chess Soul".

In other words, if from today onwards, the single book of "Chess Soul" is not sold, and "Gentleman in Disguise" will sell 500,000 copies before it is possible to catch up with the results of "Chess Soul".

According to the current popularity of "Chess Soul", this situation is obviously impossible.

The manga introduced has already won awards, and this year, "MangaFly" is not too good for newcomers. All the pressure is on the shoulders of Yan Fei and "The Gentleman Who Changed Face".

Yan Fei was very worried, especially, the opponent was still Shen Xin's "Chess Soul" - if there was a choice, she really didn't want to be an opponent with Shen Xin - she had no other ideas except helplessness,

At the meeting, Yuan Zhe made an exception for Yan Fei to observe, on the one hand, to provide opinions and suggestions from all sides, and on the other hand, to assure Yan Fei that as long as she made a request, the magazine would do everything possible to meet it.

The difference between the popularity of five million...... What can be made up for casually?

In this regard, Yan Fei did not put forward too many requirements - find two more high-level assistants and strive to improve the quality of comics.

As for advertising, that's a matter for magazines, and she's a layman who won't ask too much.

Looking for high-level painters, plus the screening of animation, the gap between "Gentleman in Casual Clothes" and "Chess Soul" has gradually narrowed to three million popularity.

However, with the publication of the "ZuoXingYang" series, the gap between "Gentleman in Disguise" and "Chess Soul" has widened again. Within a month, the gap between the popularity of the two comics exceeded six million.

For this result, Yuan Zhe was worried and Yan Fei was worried, but the editors were a little happy.

Isn't it capable? Then take the big prize again?

Yan Fei knows the careful thinking of these people, but after all, she is the one who is not social, and she doesn't have much to do.

At this time, Yan Fei had fallen into an endless loop.

The harder she worked, the better the comics of her authors, Yuan Zhe would pay more attention to her and give her special attention, and other editors of the same magazine would have more opinions about her.

Just like today, Yuan Zhe held a small meeting with the editor-in-chief, the team leader and others to discuss the opponents of the "Comics Festival".

According to her position, she was not qualified to participate in this meeting, but Yuan Zhe and the editor-in-chief made an exception and let her participate.

As a result, she became the lowest-ranking person in the attendees.

"I thought that after a series of operations, the gap between "Drag Gentleman" and "Chess Soul" would be narrowed, but I didn't expect it to be even bigger." A middle-aged man wearing round glasses with thick bottoms of beer bottles looked at the materials in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Semi-Monthly Feiyang and ComicFuture are eyeing the newcomer award, we really can't get qualified newcomers, and we really can't help it in this award."

"No way?"

Yuan Zhe's face was gloomy, and he glanced at the middle-aged man who was speaking.

He has a mustache and a cap, and he speaks in a sven manner, which is the leader of the group "MangaFly".

"How many times have I said that I have to come up with a solution in advance, and the result is ...... It's been half a year, and I haven't seen you come up with any decent methods. ”

One group leader pouted.

"I think, the 'Best Long-Form Comics Award', we may still be more sure, after all, the gap is not too big, and not long ago, Xiao Yan also beat "Hunting Abyss" with a comic called something? Defeating the strong with the weak, you have experience, right? ”

A half-aged woman wore thick lipstick and winked at Yan Fei.

Yan Fei puffed out her cheeks and didn't make a sound, she had nothing to say to this kind of person.

"Don't say that, the strength of "Chess Soul" is very strong. Moreover, if you want to defeat the strong with the weak, comics that are at a disadvantage must have a higher quality. The same was true of "Y's" that time. A balding old editor whispered.

"Yo, Team Leader Zhao, if you say that, I'm not happy. What do you mean? The quality of "Gentleman in Drag Dress" is not good? Do you look down on Xiao Yan, or look down on "Gentleman in Drag Dress". ”

"You ......" Team Leader Zhao slapped the table hard, pointing at the woman's hand and trembling a little.

"Enough, look at the way you guys!" Yuan Zhe stopped the two people who were arguing, and glanced at the information in his hand, "I warn you...... If "Gentleman in Casual Clothes" doesn't win the 'Best Long-Form Comic Award', you three team leaders, all go down to me. ”

"Mr. Yuan, others are inexperienced, if we are removed......" The woman hurriedly defended.

"I don't have experience to cultivate, by the way, I don't mean to remove you, I'm going to be the editor of the magazine below, I don't want to see you." Yuan Zhe glared.

Yuan Zhe has long wanted to move these people, but the others are really inexperienced, and personnel changes must be approved by the management, so they have been dragged like this, and his patience has been gradually worn out.

"Okay, Xiao Yan, what else can "Gentleman in Drag Masquerade" do now?" Yuan Zhe asked rhetorically.

Yan Fei shook her head, "There is nothing left to do in "Drag Gentleman", unless "Chess Soul" makes a mistake, otherwise, "MangaFly" has no chance this year, but with Mr. Shen's strength, there should be no major mistakes." ”

"Mistakes?" Yuan Zhe glanced at the laptop screen, ""Chess Soul" seems to have really made a mistake. ”

"Huh?"

The people in the room looked at Yuan Zhe with puzzled expressions.

Yuan Zhe turned his notebook, "The latest word 'discovery' has made the popularity of "Chess Soul" drop a lot. ”

Yan Fei's eyes widened involuntarily.
