Chapter 12: The Four Gods
The summer sun always rises earlier than the chickens, and the thin curtains can't resist his feverish light.
So before the alarm clock of the mobile phone rang, Chen Yu was woken up by the sun.
opened his sleepy eyes, glanced at the next door, and found that Yuan Xiaoming's small half of his body was outside the bed, but he hadn't fallen yet.
Dragged him back, the thing rolled over and continued to sleep.
didn't wait for the alarm clock, Chen Yu got up to brush his teeth, and continued to submit articles when he was ready to have breakfast.
As a result, as soon as I came out of the bathroom after brushing my teeth, I saw Yuan Xiaoming waiting outside the door in a daze.
Chen Yu didn't care, thinking that he got up to pee, it was only eight o'clock in the morning, but he wouldn't get up until ten o'clock every time.
It's just that he never expected that Yuan Xiaoming would be unusually today, brushing his teeth with him, eating breakfast, and when he picked up his backpack and was about to go out, the little guy actually flashed his innocent eyes behind Chen Yu's buttocks.
"What are you trying to do?"
"Hehe, brother will take me there today."
"I'm looking for a part-time job, what do you think is playing?"
"I'm very well-behaved, I'll sit obediently during your interview."
"Have you ever seen an interviewer bring a child?" Chen Yu was speechless, "Okay, okay, don't pretend to be pitiful, I'll take you to play in a few days." ”
"No, I'm going to follow, you're not looking for a part-time job at all, tell your cousin if you don't take me there."
"Why didn't I go looking for a part-time job?" Chen Yule was happy, "You are looking for evidence, and you also told my cousin, am I the one who will be afraid of her?" ”
I thought that Xiao Lao Biao was fooling around, but he didn't expect him to suddenly raise his head proudly, pointing to the backpack in Chen Yu's hand and said, "I saw the cartoons in your backpack, how could these part-time jobs of asking waiters to distribute flyers bring such a lot of comics, obviously just to play and hide from reading comics." ”
God hiding from the comics!
I read comics to hide from you?
Sure enough, it's a little kid.,It's not connected to the comics he drew at all.。
Chen Yu complained in his heart, and said viciously in his mouth, "You actually peeked at my bag, looking for a fight." ”
Yuan Xiaoming was obviously panicked, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny, "I didn't peek, but I accidentally touched your bag in the toilet last night and fell out by myself." ”
"It's not that I don't zip it, or I won't fall out of the painting on the ground."
Dissatisfied knocked Yuan Xiaoming's head and asked, "Did you break my painting?" ”
"No, no."
Yuan Xiaoming, who was covering his head, shook his head and denied it, Chen Yu opened his backpack and took a look, but he didn't find anything bad, so he let him go.
"That'...... Brother, are you still taking me out? ”
"Take you out?"
Chen Yu muttered, and it didn't seem to be impossible.
After all, he is not really interviewing, but just submitting.
Moreover, the two companies I went to see today are in the Animation Star Science and Technology Park, which is not only a science and technology park, but also a check-in attraction, a large number of comic clubs, animation companies are gathered there, and the entire science and technology park has become an animation theme park, so where to go is the same as visiting the animation city, or even better than the animation city.
Because the stores there sell figurines and peripherals are genuine, they can't be genuine anymore.,It's all opened by the comic book club itself.。
"Okay, it's not impossible to take you there, but you have to be obedient and can't run around."
"It must be, brother, you are the best."
The happy Yuan Xiaoming quickly ran to report to his mother, and then: "You want to take Xiaoming with you?" ”
The second aunt asked Chen Yu suspiciously, and the latter nodded and said, "Well, this interview is to the Animation Star Science and Technology Park, it's fun, and we won't delay going together, I'll watch him." ”
......
In the Anime Star Science and Technology Park, in an office building, more than 20 employees of the Four Gods Comics Club who had just gone to work were being trained like quails by their bosses at this time.
Don't blame Qin Li for being angry, last week's comic magazine sales fell to a new low, and there were less than 200,000 copies, which was the worst record since she took over the company for several years, how could she not be angry.
The Four Gods Comics Society is the oldest batch of comic houses in China, it can be said that it has witnessed the rise of the domestic comic industry, and the comic magazines at its peak exceeded one million, and the authors of the four most popular comics serialized that year are known as the Four Pillars God in the comics industry.
It is conceivable that the brilliance of the four gods comics back then.
It's just a pity that when the four major comics ended one after another, the Four Gods Comics Society faced a great embarrassment, and no one could inherit the Four Pillars God, which led to a cliff-like decline in the sales of comics, and since then it has been in a slump.
That is, in the past few years that Qin Li took over, after her unremitting efforts, the Sishen Comics Club has stopped its decline, and it can even be said that it has little effect, but her move of cultivating newcomers regardless of return is unanimously not optimistic in the comic industry, and some people even secretly ridicule it.
No, just half a month ago, a newcomer who had just shown his prominence, after finishing a novella, Sishen was originally going to make him a newcomer in the development strategy for the next few years, but he jumped ship without saying a word, which caught Sishen off guard, and also made Qin Li a laughing stock in the industry.
In the office, Qin Li was having a small meeting with several editors after the conference.
Qin Li, who is forty this year, still has the charm, except for the unconcealable crow's feet at the corners of her eyes that expose her age, she actually looks like she is in her early thirties, but she has a strong female atmosphere, which makes few people in the company dare to appreciate it for a moment.
"Li Cun's departure is our loss, but it is also his loss, so you don't have to care, the most important thing is to catch the present."
Qin Li looked at the editors in front of her, and obviously noticed the depressed mood of several old employees, but her comfort had little effect, but it had to be carried out, "Editor Huang, Li Cun's matter is none of your business, don't blame yourself too much." ”
After speaking, Editor Huang shook his head, "He signed the contract with me, and I didn't realize that his intentions were my responsibility, how can I shirk it, but Mr. Qin, don't worry, my old Huang is not so easy to be defeated." ”
"That's good."
Qin Li nodded, "There is more than one Li Cun in our four gods, and there are many excellent cartoonists, so next week's comic must not go wrong." ”
As she spoke, Qin Li looked at an editor who had been keeping her head down, "Editor Liu, can the draft of Dragon Fury be released on time next week?" ”
Editor Liu raised his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm already urging the draft, it's just ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. ”
Listening to Editor Liu's words, Qin Li took a deep breath and hinted that she must not be angry, she had already been angry at the conference just now, and she would just send it again.
So she tried her best to keep a calm tone, "Well, tomorrow is the final deadline, if you can't catch up, you can only arrange other short stories to make up, but I still hope to be in time, so I will trouble Editor Liu to follow closer." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for him at his house later."
