Chapter 40 Organize a call for papers
Penguin Comics Network, many new authors jointly protested, fans from all walks of life supported and jointly crusaded against Xia Meng,
Prior to this, it was not uncommon for well-known authors to participate in newcomer competitions and crush newcomers with their high popularity, but there had never been a similar riot.
After all, no new author has ever been able to achieve the achievements of a great god in a few days, even the star teacher with the highest achievement took two months to have a score comparable to that of a great god, but even so, she still lost to Xia Meng.
It can be said that Xia Meng's success is caused by the right time, place and people, and there is almost no possibility of replication.
However, who would have thought that such a legendary author would make a fussful incident.
Originally, it was supposed to be the time to get off work, but the comic headquarters was made into a miasma.
After He Di learned that Xia Meng really secretly signed up, he almost exploded, cutting first and then playing is indeed very in line with Xia Meng's character, or is it okay for her to be responsible for editing herself?
After making more than a dozen phone calls in a row, Xia Meng finally answered, and He Di said the current situation, asking Xia Meng to give up his unrealistic ideas.
Xia Meng's answer was firm: I didn't violate the rules, why didn't I participate.
It's not against the rules, but which author participated in seven manuscript contests together, and what the hell is a light novel? Isn't she a comic book maker?
This time, Xia Meng is determined to do things, how can He Di convince her, she regards money as her life, and now she has finally found a system loophole, how can she let it go so easily.
The editor-in-chief convenes an emergency meeting.
He Di thought to himself that this is bad, now Xia Meng is a super popular author, of course the website will not do anything to her, but how about herself as the editor-in-charge.
He Di came to the conference room nervously, and the other editors had already taken their seats, and their eyes were all on him.
Perhaps different people have different thoughts, vigilance, schadenfreude, and curiosity, but they all convey a message, that is, attention.
Whether they like it or not, the editors can't ignore this rookie editor, from Xingxing to today's Xia Meng, He Di picked it at a glance, and he is enough to get everyone's attention with this vision alone.
He Di sat in the corner, his waist straight, and he looked like he was going to meet the storm.
"What does the cute cat teacher say?" The editor-in-chief asked directly.
She said that the game was fun and exciting, so she ...... It's as if she's in a boxing match, so be sure to attend. He Di said embarrassedly.
The other editors were in an uproar, is this a trick that offends all the new authors just for fun?
Of course, including He Di, he didn't know that this was Xia Meng's casual excuse.
"Are she sure?"
"Yes, I can't convince her!" He Di replied truthfully: "I think it's better to agree, and she will naturally give up when she can't be busy." ”
"What a joke!" Lao Zhao slapped the materials in his hand on the table, and hurriedly said: "If everyone is like her, how can newcomers get ahead, and will our website still operate?" It's so bad to be famous, this time it must be dealt with seriously according to the regulations! ”
"Editor Zhao, Teacher Meng Mao didn't violate the regulations, what regulations do you follow?" He Di replied with a sneer.
The meeting just began with a smell of gunpowder, and the two editors in charge competed against each other.
"What's the noise!"
The editor-in-chief slapped the table hard, and the argument stopped.
"Since the cute cat teacher likes to compete, we will hold a competition for her." The editor-in-chief pushed his eyes and said seriously.
"Running a contest for one person? There has never been such a precedent before. Lao Zhao was the first to object.
"No way!"
The old editors expressed their opposition one after another. Although Xia Meng is very popular now, but Penguin cartoonists have a big career, how can they please an author, even if they are gods, this is the minimum dignity of a giant.
"To be precise, this is a call for submissions from all authors, the content is not limited, the manuscript collection activity is called One Emperor and Four Kings, Teacher Xingxing suddenly became a eunuch, and one of the Big Three, Mr. Yuezhiliu's work has just ended, and they can all participate." The editor-in-chief will introduce you.
"If that's the case, it's going to be huge." He Di frowned.
There are a lot of Penguin comics solicitation activities, but basically there will be a group of people, and the scope of the content has never been so extensive, and there has never been such a big action.
Penguin has no shortage of talents, nor does it lack gods, and it will not hold a competition to support an author, nor will it make such a big formation in order to specifically select talents.
"One emperor and four kings, that is, to select five works, is it for Penguin Weekly?" The one who spoke was the editor in charge, Xinglong, who was one of the most senior editors here, and there were many big-name authors under him, and one of the three giants, Yue Zheliu, was his subordinate, and he was one of the few editors in charge of the great god author in addition to the editor-in-chief.
"That's right, the top five in this contest will be serialized in Penguin Weekly." The editor-in-chief held his arm and said calmly.
And the editors in charge of the audience took a deep breath in unison, and sure enough, it was for that incident.
Penguin Comics is the number one giant in webtoons, but its status in the comic industry is average.
The mainstream in the field of comics is always physical comics, and comic weeklies and single books are the first consumer goods.
Physical comics generally look down on webcomics.,Because the level of comics serialized on the Internet is uneven.,Most of the authors are not from professional backgrounds.,Many authors are laymen at all.,I don't even know what the G pen is.,With a computer,A creative idea can mix up a good reputation.,However, it's impossible to mix physical comics at this level.。
Penguin Comics also has its own weekly magazine, which is far inferior to mainstream comics.
Half a month ago, Aoba, a third-rate author of Penguin Comics, sued the famous comic master Qi for plagiarism.
Aoba's work is much earlier than Qi's, and after comparison, there are indeed many similar pictures, and the creativity is the same, and it stands to reason that it is completely Aoba's reason.
But the end result was that Aoba's lawsuit was dismissed, he was forced to apologize, and he was insulted by Master Qi. The reason for the failure is very simple, the quality of Aoba's works is too low, the painting techniques are rough and simple, and it is simply different from Qi's case, even if he is reasonable, no one will admit it.
Poor Aoba lost the lawsuit and was abused for a long time by the Qi case. That's not all, the Qi case led anger to the penguin comics, and the bombardment of the penguin comics was full of unscrupulous authors, thinking of opportunism, having no real skills, and the level was unsightly, which was a shame for cartoonists.
This matter has always been a shame for Penguin Man, but there is no way to refute it, you must know that many gods have tried to serialize it in Penguin Weekly before, but they can't even catch up with a fraction of others, and it's very embarrassing to think about it.
Just when the editors thought that Penguin had compromised, the editor-in-chief announced the news, and at this critical moment, one of the three giants, Yue Zheliu, led the team, led by supernovas, this is the rhythm to be faced!
