When the new issue of "Chess Soul" came out, those readers who were looking forward to it responded with great enthusiasm. And the editorial department also gave "Chess Soul" a winning lottery to celebrate the return of these two strong authors.

However, "Chess Soul" failed to win the first place in this issue.

In the Fantasy editorial department after the statistics of this newspaper's readers' reply letters, almost every editor has such a ranking in their hands.

1st place. Killing Games

2nd place. "Chess Soul"

3rd place. Dragon Sword

4th place. The Seal of the Royal Court

5th place. "Slam Dunk"

……

"......" Guo Pinyuan looked at the form with his hand on his cheeks, thoughtful.

The republication of this issue of "Chess Soul" is also the first release of the new work "Killing Game" by Tang Xuan and Yu Zhaolong, the winners of this year's Red Dragon Award. Because Chen Nan is anxious to resume publication, he can't wait for a moment, so Guo Pinyuan strives for everything, and as long as he wins the lottery in one volume, it seems that this kind of old author returns, there will be headline publicity, but you can't rely on the old to sell the glory of the new serialization, especially the other party is still the gold medal winner of the Red Dragon Award. (Exception is for authors who have been suspended and republished as the norm)

Guo Pinyuan said, the ranking of this issue is not too unexpected, although the first throne has been robbed temporarily, but the strength of "Dragon Sword" is undoubted, although it was pressed by the top two with the addition of color pages of the new issue and the reissue, but the difference in votes is only a few dozen votes, it is foreseeable that it will definitely be able to regain the first place in the next issue, Gu Chengfeng is now faintly Fantasy pillar.

Indeed, I think that "Dragon Pig", "Youyou Black Book", and "Sword Heart" were more leading, and then the rise of today's "Dragon Sword".

Guo Pinyuan once chatted with Mr. Ye Chuan, and with Mr. Ye Chuan's old age, he couldn't help but sigh that Gu Chengfeng's rise was already unstoppable, and the question was who could stand firm in this place in the next line.

Although today's Fantasy is calm on the surface, it can be said that under the cloak of calm, there is a treacherous situation, the editor-in-chief has been transferred, the deputy editor-in-chief is in a hurry to take the position, and some people are worried about the vacant position of the deputy editor-in-chief.

Some people may disagree-

I think that this personnel transfer of the magazine has anything to do with the serialization of the work, but I don't know that every change of power in Fantasy represents an opportunity for change.

If you're just an ordinary reader, you probably won't feel this change, because for you, Fantasy is still the same Fantasy that insists on friendship, hard work, and victory, but for those editors and authors on the cusp, it's a turn of opportunity and destruction.

Let's take an example.

Let's just say that two years ago, the active chief programmer Qihua took over Fanatasy, at that time, as Optimus Prime's "Dragon Pig" ended, the sales of Fantasy magazine fell by 100W in only 3 periods, and the previous editor-in-chief was directly dismissed, Cheng Qihua took over, so to speak, what was handed over to him at that time was a mess.

And the upper echelons asked him to stop the decline as soon as possible and come up with measures.

In that case, anyone knows that if he Cheng Qihua doesn't do well, he will be fired from class immediately.

At this time, he used two strategies to stabilize Fantasy, one is to hold out a master's work.

That's right, even if we now comment on Mr. Kazuki and his "Kenshin Wanderer" as a great work, it still can't erase the label that has been attached to him, so that although this work has an excellent reputation, it can't be compared with his previous masterpieces.

But at that time, Fantasy was really forced to be helpless, so that if he hadn't taken over by Cheng Qihua, or if there were so many female readers who supported it, Fantasy would have been beaten into the cold palace and ended gloomily.

After talking about it, let's talk about killing the mighty stick.

Fantasy's halving system is not his first initiative Cheng Qihua, but has existed since ancient times, but it is the first of his Cheng Qihua to strengthen the connection with readers, highlight the role of the reader questionnaire, and automatically enter the halving sequence once the ranking of the questionnaire falls out of the 15th place.

This move not only chilled the hearts of many heroes, but even Mr. Che Tian, who once created the golden age of "Kidney Fighter Seiya" with "Dragon Pig" and other masterpieces in Fantasy, inevitably fell victim to the alternation of the old and the new.

Seeing this, who would dare to say that the replacement of the personnel department has nothing to do with him.

If you are a modest emperor and decide to keep the ancestral system to carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, then the shock of the government and the opposition is not big, but if you are a dissatisfied with the political views of the previous dynasty and strive for a new emperor, then the day he succeeds to the throne is the time of the earthquake.

However, the magazine is not as big as that kind of scene, there will be no such thing as punishing the nine clans and never hiring, as long as you are talented, the editorial department welcomes you, and the difference is only in a general direction.

Those who follow the system will undoubtedly have smooth sailing, while those who do not adapt will naturally be buried, and the road will be bumpy.

Saying so much, in fact, this is just Guo Pinyuan's self-disturbance about the impetuousness of people's hearts and the current situation, whether it is inheritance or reform, the shock and chaos generated are also short-lived, and it is better to consider how to stabilize yourself.

In his opinion, "Chess Soul" should seek stability in this change, rather than competing with works that are obviously on top.

But there are some things that he can only give his opinion, and the real choice is still in the hands of the author.

The editor said that it was all over the place, and it couldn't change the author.

Thinking of this, Guo Pinyuan couldn't help but sigh.

"What's the matter, Lao Guo, isn't the momentum of the comeback of "Chess Soul" very strong, what is there to sigh at, is it possible that you can't win this first place and are angry?" The people next to him laughed at him.

"No, where." Guo Pinyuan smiled perfunctorily: "I just think that the top ones are all the works of young people, and I am quite emotional." ”

When he said this, he actually had the meaning of borrowing love metaphors.

Oh, yes.

Those who once dominated the comic world have all grown old, "Kenshin Roguer" is over, "JOJO" is transferred, and the author of "Dragon Pig" Toriyama Sensei decided to retire after a shallow taste of the waters.

No one can accuse him of cherishing his feathers, I don't know if "Dragon Pig" has consumed too much of his enthusiasm and talent, or this era is no longer suitable for these veterans, people can't help but sigh when they think of this, there are talented people in the country, and a generation of new people saves people.

The once glorious golden age is over, the silver age has seen the tail, and everyone knows that the next era is coming, but whether it is good or bad, where it will go, and when the time comes, no one can know.

Listening to what he said, several editors suddenly lost their voices. ”

At this time, Mr. Ye Chuan came over with a cup of hot coffee and criticized: "Twilight, if we don't push through the old and bring forth the new, where is the future to speak of, and there are many new people, and our future will be more promising." ”

But although he said cheerfully, everyone actually knew in their hearts that Mr. Ye Chuan was the most uncomfortable one in their hearts.

mentioned those newcomers who showed their own magical powers, but they also had to mention a name, Luo Shaocong, Mr. Ye Chuan once had high hopes for him, but it ended in disgrace, and the most optimistic one turned into a scar rotten on his hands, which was a big blow to his performance. Mr. Ye Chuan simply gave up this time to fight for the vacant position of deputy editor-in-chief, and let others fight for it.

"Who's going to be next?"

"I don't know, but comics are such a thing, it's only interesting to guess the ending." Mr. Ye Chuan's words put an end to this short conversation.

Then the editors each called and reported the results to their authors.
