454. The rainstorm is coming

Just when Liang Yu was riding the dust in various fields, there was another person who did the same in the field of comics, in a way, Gu Chengfeng's talent for comics was higher than Liang Yu and Chen Nan.

Since January, the manga "Pirates", which has been serialized on Fantasy, has been at the top of the charts and has remained popular, and almost every issue has dominated by big scores. As we all know, there are a total of 3 places on the Fantasy readers' reply letters, and the share of the work "Pirates" is as high as 91%.

When the flash report comes out every week, it is sparse and ordinary to have a difference of more than 100 votes with the second place, and occasionally there is a big score to pull away, and the editor-in-chief of Fantasy Magazine, Duan Changzai, has a sensitive premonition that after the end of the last golden age represented by "Dragon Pig", a new era with "Pirates" as a benchmark is about to come.

In fact, who was able to defeat Mr. Ye Chuan and Liu Xiang, who were strong competitors and sat in the position of editor-in-chief today, Duan Changzai did have his own unique insights and abilities on comics.

He knows what he does.

In response to the attack of a dynasty, he, the person at the helm of the magazine, must brainstorm and open the door widely, so that more innovative and excellent works can be developed and emerged.

So the editor-in-chief began a bold policy of using new artists and new works, and for a while, a new wind was blown into Fantasy.

But as far as the editor-in-chief's position is concerned, Duan Chang is tantamount to playing with fire here.

Why?

Everyone knows,Fantasy magazine's halving system,Almost the most stringent in the industry,Although other magazines have a similar system in order to maintain their activity,But it's not as commercial as Fantasy,Usually the old authors are more popular.,There has been a comic sales performance,As long as the new work is not too bad,There will be a chance to serialize,And all kinds of recommendations and publicity keep up together,But Fantasy is almost impersonal in this regard., The score of the previous book will not affect the editor's preferential treatment of your next work, and it is completely based on the cold ranking to decide whether to stay or leave a serial. Even if it's someone like Chen Nan who has had extraordinary achievements, the new work is still cut and cut.

But this is the rule of Fantasy, if everyone follows it, then a small number of people's complaints are quickly suppressed and disappear without a trace. That's why everyone was able to follow the rules of the game and continue to this day.

However, when Duan Chang decided to reshuffle the cards on a large scale, the original conventional rules actually became different.

Originally, the works that might have to fall to 15 outside the ranking will face a halving.,Now it's only judged to be boring.,No novelty.,The level has dropped significantly.,You'll be asked to finish.,And some of the gold medals that used to have no death (those single-line books sold well.,And because of the long serialization time.,Have a large number of fixed die-hard works) are beginning to face the danger of being cut in half.。

In an instant, Fantasy magazine turned upside down, everyone was in danger, a large number of authors and fans jumped out to complain that the Fantasy system was unreasonable, which was simply dead, and even those top-ranked authors were silent for a while, after all, in this circle, who doesn't have three or two friends, at this time, you can't hold the magazine's stinky feet and snub your friends.

It seems that Duan Changzai's strategy is unpopular, but in fact, what made him really firm up his determination was that a number of popular works have emerged in the magazine in just two months, although it is also the reason for the Golden Future Cup, but such a new and fruitful result has indeed not been seen for so many years, if you have to go back, it probably goes back to the reform of the Fantasy system that began to implement the halving system seven or eight years ago.

The boss did not express any opinions because of Duan Changzai's reform, but was happy to see it come to fruition, and seemed to be waiting and seeing whether it was a pro or con, and he had said before that for pure businessmen, only the benefits were real. Duan Changzai can achieve the best results, if he really can't hold the table, then the big deal is to change the editor-in-chief of Fantasy when the time comes, it's as simple as that.

Of course, Duan Changzai is willing to make such a big gamble, and it will definitely be rewarding, and once he wins, it will pave the way for him to enter the company's top management in the future. Moreover, a productive editor-in-chief sounds much better than a few years in office and then retiring or flattening, right?

In this way, Fantasy ushered in a turbulent era, and Chen Nan, who was on the cusp of this era, did not see the flash of opportunity, but faced another impact in life.

Stakes has dropped in the rankings.

And rightfully so.

First of all, a serialized work, if it weren't for the kind of masterpiece that dominated the entire magazine like you, yes, it was a super popular work like Gu Chengfeng's "Pirates", how there would be ups and downs, even if it was "Langxin Swordsman", "Chess Soul", "Slam Dunk" and other popular works, there have been such moments. Some works have withstood the test and regained their feet with the help of fans and made up for their shortcomings, while others have since disappeared from the public.

With so many precedents to prove, Stakes probably can't escape the same fate.

Second,It can be attributed to the reason for the Fantasy magazine itself.,Because of the influx of a large number of new works.,Disperse the originally more balanced votes.,In the past, sometimes people didn't necessarily take you as the first target.,But thinking that since you can choose three places.,,I'll give you a pick-up.,But after this sudden outpouring of so many comics that need support.,Maybe readers feel more interested in that comic.,So the votes that should have been guaranteed are also lost.。

Needless to say, there is only one consequence that can be expected, that is, as the original author of the work "Stakes", Tang Xuan is deeply dissatisfied with this result, no, it should be said that it is resentment.

"Why is this happening, Chen Nan, shouldn't you look for the reason?" This is a sentence that he said after receiving the results of the editor's quick report today, he ran over and asked him.

Originally, there were many reasons for the decline in the popularity of a work, especially the "Stakes" cooperated by Chen Nan and Tang Xuan, or Tang Xuan controlled the plot single-handedly, and it was his idea to ask Chen Nan to change it every once in a while, and Chen Nan was simply just painting, but now, it is obvious that he is unwilling to accept this result and carry this pot.

Chen Nan's brows couldn't help frowning, and he asked, "What's the result of the quick report?" ”

"Haven't you been told by the editor, ninth place, you're about to slip out of the top ten, do you know that now Fantasy's halving line has been stretched forward significantly, isn't this just above the halving line?"

Chen Nan is not as pessimistic as Tang Xuan: "There is still a little difference between the results of the flash report and this newspaper, and the editor also said last time that because there are a lot of new works recently and the number of votes is a little scattered, the results of this newspaper may be one or two more than the quick report." ”

"But that's only one or two, I want to take the first place, not to be scared and happy that I survived another chapter and didn't get cut in half this week!" Tang Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly shouted hysterically.

Under the rainstorm and thunder, Chen Nan was just silent.

She was neither angry nor angry, but had a trace of sadness that others could not perceive.

She was not angry because she felt that there was nothing to be annoyed about, and the reason why she felt sad was that the current Tang Xuan was just like her self who was angry at Liang Yu at the beginning.

Is this retribution? She thought. (To be continued.) )
