294, threading the needle (1/2 for subscription)
"Tang Fantasy Night" Magazine, Conference Room.
It's another week's regular meeting, and the editor-in-chief is reporting the ranking of the comics of the previous week, and Wang Yinghu is worried about the ranking of "Dream Travel".
This morning meeting of the week is the most difficult for them, the editors, who are in a state of anxiety, like criminals waiting to be sentenced.
Only the two editors in charge of "Demon Tower" and "Flower Thinking of the World" sit firmly in Diaoyutai, and the old god is at ease.
Of course, they also have to compete, but they are two tigers fighting, not the other editors, because the two comics they are responsible for have always been the best, and the other comics want to catch up, which is too difficult and there is almost no end in sight.
Moreover, these two comics have a lot of stamina, and the quality of the plot has not only not declined, but has steadily increased.
Thanks to the healthy competition between the two comics, the comic book writers are also competing.
This is a good thing, but it is bitter for other people, and they are becoming more and more desperate.
Wang Yinghu glanced at the little girl sitting on his right, and saw her sad face.
Although Wang Yinghu is in a worried mood, he is not too worried, because the performance of "Dream Travel" has slowly increased in the past three weeks, and it has been out of the danger zone of being cut in half.
And the little girl is in charge of "The Prince", which is very dangerous, if it is still at the bottom this time, then it will not be published in the magazine next week, and it will be ready for the finale directly.
But there is also a possibility, that is, the opportunity to publish the finale is not given, because this comic and "Dream Travel" were published on the same day, only three weeks, the popularity is so low, how many people will care about the finale, rather than giving up the precious layout to such a comic that no one reads, it is better to give a new comic, there are countless possibilities.
"The last one is still "The Prince", who is the editor in charge?" asked the editor-in-chief.
The little girl beside Wang Yinghu raised her hand miserably: "It's me, editor-in-chief." ”
The editor-in-chief looked at her expressionlessly, lowered his head and wrote and drew in his notebook, and said, "Tell the author that this comic will not be published next week." ”
After saying this, the editor-in-chief began to talk about the next topic, and the little girl raised her hand tremblingly, but did not put it down, and it took a while for the editor-in-chief to notice and ask her what else was going on.
"Editor-in-chief, I want to ask, will the finale of "The Prince" be published in the monthly magazine?"
The editor-in-chief said impatiently: "No." ”
In other words, "The Prince" didn't even have a chance to write the finale.
And what's worse is that according to the contract between the comic author and the publisher, the other party is exclusively authorized, and the comic can only be published by the "Tang Fantasy Night" publishing house, if it is unwilling to publish, then the comic cannot be given to others.
In other words, this comic called "The Prince" is going to disappear from the eyes of the public completely, and the author's hard work will be in vain.
This is also the reason why many well-known comics suddenly disappear, most of them are not because the magazine is not published, but because the magazine is not doing well and goes out of business, so the comics contracted with it may also die.
After the meeting, Wang Yinghu comforted the little girl a few words, and was suddenly stopped by the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief inquired about the situation of "Dream Travel" and Little Red Horse Comic Studio, and then said that he was very optimistic about this comic.
"You ask them, can you do it twice a week? The editor-in-chief said.
Double a week is a common phrase for serialization on online platforms, that is, twice a week.
"Tang Fantasy Night" magazine is a weekly magazine, and it is published once a week, so of course it is impossible for comics to be updated twice a week, and there is no place to update.
That means that it is published twice as much in each issue of the magazine.
Wang Yinghu was in good spirits, and after the editor-in-chief left, he clenched his hands into fists and wanted to wave hard, but suddenly stopped, and just shook it tightly. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
——
Xiaobai sat on a small stool, with a straight body, watching TV, but his brows were furrowed, muttering, and he looked very dissatisfied.
There was also a small bench beside her, and he could watch it intently.
Xiaobai kept looking at him sideways, and then looked at the TV, he couldn't believe that Dunzi watched this so seriously.
It's a news broadcast on TV.
"What's the matter, my uncle pawed to show this to the little pot friend. Xiaobai muttered, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Dunzi, who was not affected in the slightest and continued to look at him.
"Dunzi~~ Dunzi??? what are you living in?Are you sleeping?" Xiaobai shook Dunzi's fleshy shoulder.
Only then did Dunzi react, wiped his nose, pointed at the TV with his shiny finger, and said, "Xiaobai, you called me to watch TV~~"
He was called by Xiaobai to watch TV together, and before Xiaobai left the village, they often played together, except for sleeping, they were almost inseparable.
Xiaobai's TV was broken, and in the evening, he called Bai Jianping to fix it, and when he turned it on, he could only watch the news broadcast.
Xiaobai seriously suspected that her uncle had done something to her family's TV set, because the news broadcast was what her uncle liked to watch, and in Pujiang, Xiaobai often grabbed the TV with him at this time to watch cartoons.
Xiaobai is angry, and I really want to ask my uncle about his paws, and he is bullying the little pot friend.
In the past, you could watch "Windmill and Fake Sophisticated", as well as other cartoons. At that time, when the sun was about to set, she and Dunzi brought a small stool, sat in front of the TV and waited for the cartoon to play, broadcast what they watched, everything was beautiful, and they had fun.
Xiaobai is still the same Xiaobai, but the pier is no longer the pier. Dunzi watched the news broadcast and couldn't take his eyes off it.
She was incomprehensible and completely lost interest in the news network.
The brazier around me is burning more and more, so warm, and grandma is embroidering in the firelight.
She wore reading glasses, her eyes were far away from the cloth, and she had an embroidery needle in her hand, and she was threading the needle skillfully but slowly.
When my grandmother was young, she had a pair of dexterous hands, and the best thing was Shu embroidery, she would embroider dragons and phoenixes, flowers and birds, fish and insects, landscapes, etc., and she could be robbed of them in the market.
Almost all the clothes and shoes that Xiaobai wore when she was a child were made by her grandmother, and on ordinary fabrics, she embroidered a small golden flower, a bee with wings, and a cute little person, which instantly looked different and could make Xiaobai happy for a long time.
But now my grandmother is dizzy and hasn't embroidered for a long time.
At the moment, she is embroidering a tiger head on a pair of tiger head shoes.
"Whew~~~ Grandma, your embroidered brain is miserable. Xiaobai was not interested in TV, so he came to his grandmother and looked at her embroidered tiger head shoes.
Grandma ran out of thread in her hand, and was threading the thread again into the eye of the needle, but she didn't put it in several times.
"That's my forte, grandma, give it to me, I'll do it. ”
Xiaobai took the embroidery needle in his grandmother's hand, pinched the needle with his left hand and the thread with his right hand, staggered and failed to wear it.
Xiaobai's big eyes turned, glanced at grandma, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Ho ho ho ho ~~~ grandma, I'm teasing you~~~ Hey!"
I tried hard and put it in, and the goose goose laughed.
