"Tang Fantasy Night" magazine.

In the conference room, the editor-in-chief is leading a group of editors-in-charge in a meeting.

"First of all, I would like to inform the readers of each of this week's comics. The editor-in-chief said. He was a middle-aged man with a big nose.

The person in charge of the marketing department immediately began to report the market feedback data of each comic that had been published in the magazine the previous week.

The competition for comics is very fierce, on the Internet, everyone can publish their own comics, and if they are not popular, they will have fewer readers, but in magazines, if they are not popular, they will be cut in half and retracted.

"Tang Fantasy Night" will select readers to interview every week to find out which of the comics featured in this week is the most popular, and which one is at the bottom that no one reads.

The comic at the bottom, if it's the first time, then it will be notified and reminded, and if there is a second time, it will immediately be asked to finish early and give up the position to the next manga.

"The first is "Demon Suppression Tower". The head of the marketing department reported.

In fact, since the beginning of this year, "Datang Fantasy Night" has been a competition between the two strong, either "Demon Suppression Tower" won the first place, or "Flowers Wanted the World", and the two alternated in turn.

So it's no surprise that this time it's the turn of "Demon Suppression Tower".

Everyone is more concerned about the last few in the rankings, and there are comics that are going to be cut in half.

There was only the voice of the announcement in the conference room, and the ranking of the report was from high to low: ...... "No. 1 in the World", "The Prince...... "Dream Travel". ”

Hearing this, Wang Yinghu, the editor in charge, jumped in his heart, three newly published comics, and he was in charge of "Dream Travel".

His first reaction was that "Dream Travel" was going to be cut, and then he thought that the new comic has a one-week protection period, that is, the first week will not count the ranking, even if it is at the bottom, it will not be counted.

Although there is a protection period, the ranking at least shows that the manga is not popular in the market.

At this time, Wang Yinghu smashed his mouth when he saw the person who reported it, and read again: "The last place, "Luxi Law Tyrant". ”

He was stunned for a moment before he reacted, it turned out that there was a book at the bottom, and it turned out to be "Luci Fa Baba"!

This comic was at the bottom last week!

It's going to be cut.

Sure enough, after the briefing, the editor-in-chief said without hesitation: "Cut down the "Luci Fa Ba" and let them prepare the final article and publish it in the monthly magazine. ”

The editor in charge of "Lucy Law Tyrant" had a bad face, nodded and said a good word.

Then the editor-in-chief said: "The two new comics are ranked second to last and third, and you should pay attention to them. ”

——

In the Little Red Horse Academy,The comic studio got the news from the magazine,Said that the response of "Dream Travel" was not very good.,Ranked last,The quality of the follow-up plot should be improved.。

This poured cold water on Xin Xiaoguang and others, because the news he got was mostly praise, why did the magazine's market research have the opposite result?

Wu Shiying was calmer and analyzed: "Think about it carefully, those who praise us for our good comics are actually peers in the circle, and we didn't listen to the voice of the market." ”

Xin Xiaoguang immediately understood, to put it simply, this is whether it is popular or not. It's like a literary film, shooting techniques, narrative techniques, costumes and props, etc., how good it is, and the five-body cast that is admired by insiders, but as soon as it was released, the box office was dismal.

Now it is possible that this situation will occur in "Dream Travel".

In addition to feedback on the market survey results, the magazine also asked Xiaohongman Comic Studio to change the plot in the follow-up, and the plot tension and contradictions should be more intense.

But this suggestion was directly vetoed by Zhang Si and others, blindly catering to the market and giving up their own persistence, which is not what everyone wants.

What's more, it's only the first week, and the story of "Dream Travel" has just begun.

——

After lunch, the sun rises overhead, shedding warm sunlight and the temperature in the valley rises to the highest point of the day.

"Grandma, are you okay?~~~"

Xiaobai carried a bamboo basket, wore small rain boots, and held a tongs in his hand, and hurriedly ran to the yard, stood under the sun, and shouted into the house.

Grandma's warm voice came from the house: "Xiaobai, don't worry, it's still early." ”

It's been a week since she got home, and Xiaobai has changed back to the little village girl she used to be.

She had changed her beautiful new clothes, and she was wearing an old floral jacket, cotton, bright red, with patterns, which her grandmother had made for her in the summer, in case she came home for the New Year.

I couldn't wear the clothes before, because the children were growing up day by day.

The weather at home is colder, there is no air conditioning, Xiaobai's face is blown apple red, but his spirit has not diminished at all, and his eyes are still bright.

At this moment, before the grandmother came out, she shouted to another house not far away: "Dunzi ~~~~~"

A little chubby dun immediately ran out of the house, jumped and waved at Xiaobai, and then ran on the ridge of the field, ran this way, and appeared in front of Xiaobai, his red face was full of a simple smile: "Xiaobai, are you going?"

"Let's go pick up chestnuts, are you going to go? You have a runny nose~~~~~" Xiaobai said.

Hearing this, Dunzi wiped his nose with a smile and sucked ~~~~

Xiaobai and Dunzi are the same year, the same age, but Xiaobai is thinner than Dunzi.

Dunzi is sturdy, edible, and strong from an early age.

And Xiaobai did not breastfeed when he was a child, and grew up drinking porridge and milk powder, and his nutrition could not keep up.

Occasionally, Dunzi's mother would feed this little girl.

Dunzi is strong, but a little silly, his head is not very bright, his reaction is half a beat slower than ordinary people, he will be bullied, Xiaobai is clever, and he is often taught.

And Xiaobai will also be bullied by other children because she is thin and small, and at this time, it is the dun that protects her.

Dunzi nodded and said that he wanted to play with him. Xiaobai asked him to go home and put on his hat, it was so cold in the mountains.

"Xiaobai, you have to wait for me. "The piers are tons and tons, and the small tanks run up the ridge again and rush home.

After a while, the three of them appeared in the mountain forest behind the house, Xiaobai and Dunzi ran ahead, da-da-da~~tons~~~ disappeared on the mountain path for a while, and appeared again for a while.

The three of them came to a wood, where many tall chestnut trees grew, and many ripe chestnuts fell to the ground, some of which fell out of their thorny shells and lay on the fallen leaves, and some of which were still lying in it, and cracked, and then they had to be plucked out with tongs.

Grandma and Xiaobai both brought tongs, only the pier came empty-handed, but this did not bother him, he picked up a branch as a stick, grabbed the chestnuts and smashed them violently, each time he smashed one, the first time to put the chestnuts in Xiaobai's bamboo basket.

He smashed one more, put the chestnuts in Xiaobai's basket, and asked innocently, "Xiaobai, is it fun outside?"

Xiaobai looked at the chestnuts in his basket, turned his head to look at his grandmother's, and smiled: "It's fun and miserable." ”

Dunzi sniffed, raised his hand and wiped it, his honest little face full of smirks.

Xiaobai Balabala told him about the outside world, and Dunzi was immediately attracted, and the chestnuts stopped smashing, and became Xiaobai's follower and followed her closely.

The mountain wind blew, and there was a sound of rustling in the mountain forest, and the grandmother stopped her movements, looked somewhere in the dense forest, and asked Xiaobai and Dunzi not to speak yet, and listen to what was coming.

Xiaobai and Dunzi have lived here since they were children, and knowing that there are wild beasts in the mountains and forests, Dunzi immediately picked up the stick on the ground, instinctively blocked in front of Xiaobai, and stared vigilantly at the place where the sound came.

A chestnut fat rabbit came out of the leaves, and Xiaobai and Dunzi rushed out together.

"Don't let it run away~~~ Don't you have to follow me, you block that thia~~~"

Half an hour later, the three of them left and went home, the basket was full of chestnuts, but Xiaobai muttered, full of regrets, the fat rabbit ran away, and the tactical coordination awareness of the pier was too poor to be blocked.

The sun hangs on the top of the mountain, obliquely shining in the field, Xiaobai takes the lead, the pier follows, grandma palace, walking on the ridge, back home, grandma began to cook chestnuts, after washing, cut a hole with scissors, pour into the rice cooker, put a spoonful of oil, put five pieces of rock sugar, pour water, just past the chestnuts, cover, boil for fifteen minutes to eat.

When the sun set on the mountainside, Xiaobai and Dunzi sat side by side in the courtyard, eating sugar chestnuts with relish.

Dunzi often forgets when he eats, because he is fascinated by listening to Xiaobai, the outside world, and the stories in the picture books are too interesting.
