Qi is very arrogant, but he has the capital to be arrogant.

Xia Meng is not easy to mess with, but now he has no time to take care of the Qi case.

Penguin Mann Headquarters, Conference Room.

"I disagree!"

"It's not fair!"

"Too much deception!"

A tall and thin middle-aged man with pigtails stood up and roared angrily, in front of him was Xia Meng, who had come to the headquarters for the first time. Xia Meng propped her cheeks, pursed her lips, and listened impatiently.

The middle-aged man's name is Shen Cailiang, and his pen name is Liang Cailiang, and he is one of the three giants on the same level as Yue Zheliu.

It stands to reason that this meeting was attended by five winning authors and editors of the Four Emperors and Four Kings to discuss the specific matters of the weekly serialization, and there was no Shen Cailiang, but when something happened, Shen Cailiang not only came uninvited, but also brought authors who were as excited as him.

The reason for the matter is very simple, the editor-in-chief suddenly announced that the winner of the One Emperor and Four Kings will be serialized in "Penguin Weekly" at the same time, which is why Shen Cailiang disagrees with the first sentence.

In this world,Webtoon is just the beginning,In many people's concepts,Only physical serialization,Publishing a single book is the road,It's orthodox,Every comic author hopes that his work can be on the physical serial,Even the three giants are no exception。

If it was the previous "Penguin Weekly", Shen Cailiang didn't care, but he knew the importance of the headquarters this time, and this was a rare opportunity to enter the house.

However, such an important opportunity was decided by only one essay competition, and the most important thing was that there was no announcement before, and it was not announced until the weekly magazine was revised, which is the reason why Shen Cailiang's second sentence is "unfair".

This is unfair to those authors who did not participate in the essay contest and to the entire Penguin Comics, so Shen Cailiang came here with a lot of "brothers".

At first, Shen Cailiang's anger was directed at the editor-in-chief and the headquarters, and it didn't matter to Xia Meng, but Xia Meng heard it inexplicably and didn't understand Shen Cailiang at all, so he whispered to He Di, the editor-in-charge next to him.

After asking this question, Xia Meng learned that Shen Cailiang was not only one of the three giants, but also a co-comic author.

What is a co-comic author? It's very special in Penguin Comics, that is, in collaboration with the end, the script is not original.

As we all know, the end and Penguin are both owned by Penguin Company, so it can be said that they are their own family, and this kind of cooperation is not new.

However, the three giants of Penguin Comics, the biggest signboard, are not the original creators, which is a bit unreasonable, perhaps this is the reason why webtoons cannot be regarded as orthodox and are looked down upon by physical authors like Qi Case.

So Xia Meng replied quietly: "Is the cooperative comic also an original comic?" ”

There is a hard requirement for physical serialization, that is, it must be an original comic, and the originality here refers to the author's copyright, not a plagiarized work, which is obviously different from the meaning of distinguishing the cooperation area and the original area from Penguin Comics, but it still stabbed Shen Cailiang's pain point.

So there was Shen Cailiang's third sentence "Deceiving people too much", this time it was completely aimed at Xia Meng.

"I'm just telling the truth." Xia Meng snorted, not caring.

"Little girl, don't think that you can see no one with a little achievement, are you going to ruin Penguin Manga and anger a giant?" Shen Cailiang was foaming at the mouth and was aggressive.

"Why use it?" Xia Meng was puzzled.

"Because Yue Zheliu left Penguin Man because you were so angry that he ran to "Man King"." He Di's face was ugly, and he told Xia Meng in a low voice.

Xia Meng's face was not red and her heart was not beating, and she let out a soft "oh", without the slightest sense of self-blame, "It seems that you and Xiao Yueyue are very familiar?" People are high, why don't you follow to mix soup? ”

"You ......" Shen Cailiang was furious, his face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "I am loyal to Penguin, you are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" ”

The two of you are one sentence and I are one sentence, competing against each other, Xia Meng was originally a strong temper, eating soft and not hard, and he couldn't suffer losses, and Shen Cailiang came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and it was even more impossible to back down.

"Enough, when this is a vegetable market?" The editor-in-chief roared angrily, which stopped the confrontation between the two, "Shen Cailiang, let me answer you why?" ”

"It's unfair, you say? Then let me tell you, in the past three months, Penguin Comics has created more than 50,000 new works, even if it is not selected from one emperor and four kings, but from these 50,000 works to select the five with the best results, then the result is the same, and it is also the five people here. ”

"Kung Fu cute cats, stars and lights, hours, Yacheng, and Tan Shao, they are new stars, but they are the best authors, and they are the great gods at their feet, and they are former giants, so they are fully qualified. So I would like to ask the authors who are not invited here, when you say that it is unfair, have you ever found the reason from yourself and felt ashamed? ”

The editor-in-chief's sonorous and powerful questioning made the author behind Shen Cailiang bow his head in unison, it is undeniable that Jiang is still old and spicy.

"You have a point, and I agree with it." Only Shen Cailiang's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "But as far as I know, in the past three months, the best result is not "Kuroko's Basketball", but someone else, right?" ”

"This ......" The editor-in-chief was speechless for a moment, and the other editors in charge fell silent.

Only Xia Meng asked curiously: "Which work?" ”

He Di glared at Xia Meng fiercely, and the other editors in charge looked at the girl with a strange expression, while Xia Meng looked around, even more puzzled.

"That's "Journey to the West"!" Shen Cailiang smiled slightly and replied.

"Journey to the West? What a strange name. Xia Meng was surprised.

"It's a demon!" He Di hurriedly corrected Xia Meng, "This work was painted by the great god of Cailiang." ”

"So you painted it?" Xia Meng looked at Shen Cailiang with big eyes, and said in disbelief: "Could it be that you blew it?" ”

"You...... Ignorant child! Shen Cailiang's voice trembled.

The other editors in charge looked at Xia Meng like fools, He Di sighed, and moved a booklet in front of Xia Meng, which was the data statistics of the top 100 works in the past three months.

Xia Meng opened it, and the first place was "Journey to the West Demon", and the second place was her black basket.

"So you're such a cowhide!" Xia Meng couldn't help but exclaim. She always thought that the works she collaborated on had no future, and the plot was there, so why bother to read comics? In fact, she underestimated the power of the web.

"Journey to the West" is the masterpiece of the platinum god at the end, and even if it is translated into a comic, it is still the mainstay of Penguin Comics, and the effect brought by many readers even surpasses the black basket.

From this Xia Meng, I can see that it's not how prosperous this world is, but that the webtoon is too uncompetitive, this status is like the national comic of her world, or even worse, many big IPs are adaptations, and the original cartoonist has no future, no wonder it will be crushed by physical comics.

When she got here, Xia Meng couldn't refute it, and her achievements were there, which was justified.

Not only Xia Meng, but also the other editors in charge couldn't say a word of rebuttal, so they could only wait for the editor-in-chief to decide.

The editor-in-chief of "En......" pondered for a long time before he made up his mind, "I really didn't think about it properly, why don't you do this, the number of serialized "Penguin Weekly" will increase to six, and add one more "Journey to the West", everyone has no opinion, right?" ”

"No comment."

"Agreed!"

……

The editors in charge have expressed their positions.

"Then it was decided ......"

Before the editor-in-chief could make an announcement, he was interrupted by Shen Cailiang.

"Wait, I'm not here today, but I'm not here for a serialization qualification." Shen Cailiang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Meng: "What I want is the first serial!" ”

Xia Meng was startled, she came, it turned out to be coming at her!
