Chapter 378: Unlocked
In the last week of May, the rainy season arrives in the city, and during this time, it sometimes rains all day long, and the air becomes moist.
In the conference room of the Tianji Comics Club, a regular meeting was held today.
The content of the meeting is the same as usual, to report the sales of each journal of the comic club, the development potential and popularity of each work, the change of market direction, and the future development direction!
In the huge conference room, Qin Bei, the editor-in-chief of the Tianji Comics Club, and Zhang Jing, the comic editor in charge of Chu Yu's works in the Tianji Comics Club, as well as a group of comic editors and main functional personnel of the Tianji Comics Club, hundreds of people were seated.
After all, it is one of the two most powerful comic companies in the Seven Great Magic Cities, and compared to the Xuan Turtle, it is obvious that the specifications of the Tianji Comics Club are obviously much higher.
The meeting lasted for two hours, but it was all work, not the kind of meeting where there was no point in wasting time.
However, even so, such a long meeting also made everyone tired.
In the end, at the end of the meeting, Qin Bei said the last thing of the meeting.
"Xiao Zhuang, I remember that there is a comic in the Xuanjing Journal that is about to end, and there is a comic whose popularity is also very low, and the comments from readers are very unsatisfactory...... Right!" Qin Bei's voice was calm, but it revealed a majesty.
Sitting down, a young man got up.
"That's right!"
As soon as Qin Bei's words came out, the spirit of the comic editors who sat down immediately came.
After all, everyone has been working in the industry for many years, and when Qin Bei said the last sentence, they guessed what Qin Bei's next sentence meant.
What will happen to the end of the old manga? That is, there will be a serial vacancy in Xuanjing, one of the top manga journals in the Dragon Kingdom with one of the best-selling comics.
This is a Xuanjing journal that sells more than 17 million copies a week, and has given birth to many Dragon Kingdom comic masterpieces, and each of its serial seats can be said to be a breakthrough for countless cartoonists in Dragon Kingdom, and the same is true for them editors, who also hope that their powerful cartoonists will serialize their works on it, and become an instant hit, so that they will also get huge benefits as editors!
And Qin Bei asked about the comic works with low popularity on the popularity, needless to say, it must be that the commercial value of this work is judged to be not enough to be serialized in a journal like Xuanjing, in the past, as long as Qin Bei asked this question, it basically proved that there was a work that was going to be cut in half by him!
Therefore, Qin Bei's words actually revealed two meanings, that is, there are two serial vacancies in Xuanjing journals that are about to be created in the near future!
The editors immediately felt like they had been beaten with chicken blood in their hearts, and all kinds of thoughts were generated in their hearts, thinking about whether their cartoonists had the ability to prepare for the new work, and let them hurry up to prepare for the cartoon manuscript to be drawn out so that they could compete for this opportunity!
"Well, you notify me and let these two works end on July 21 as much as possible!" Qin Bei said.
Sure enough, the editors in the audience were overjoyed, and sure enough, they .......
But in the next second, Qin Bei's words instantly extinguished the enthusiasm of the comic editors.
"On July 28th, these two vacant serialization seats will serialize a work, Shuixin's ......... JoJo's bizarre adventure!" Qin Bei looked at everyone in the audience and said in a calm tone.
Miscellaneous....... What's the situation?
Question marks appeared on the faces of a bunch of people in the audience, two Xuanjing serialized seats, serialized one work?
"Editor-in-chief, that Jojo's bizarre adventure you are talking about...... Does it refer to the work of Shuixin that is now serialized in Fenglan Comics?"
Someone immediately questioned it.
"That's right! To be precise, it's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure prequel! The prequel will end on July 26 in Fenglan Comics....... Therefore, I will arrange it to be serialized on the Xuanjing issue on July 28!" Qin Bei looked at everyone.
"Questions?"
Qin Bei's eyes made the editors feel empty, although they knew that Qin Bei was an upright person who encouraged them to put forward different opinions, but at this time, no one wanted to grow up to be a head bird to question him.
"I have objections, admittedly, I recognize Shui Xin's strength, and I also recognize the editor-in-chief's fancy for him! However, I will never approve of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, I don't think this work has the strength to be serialized in the Xuanjing Journal, let alone occupy two serial seats!"
Everyone's eyes looked at the person who spoke, it was Tian Yang, an old editor of the Tianji Comics Club, with a fiery personality, and he was one of the best in terms of working years in Tianji, when Qin Bei first came to Tianji, he was Qin Bei's predecessor!
"I know people don't understand my decision. "Qin Bei had already guessed that there would be doubts, so he was also prepared.
But this kind of thing doesn't make sense, judging from the performance of JoJo's bizarre adventure prequel on Fenglan Comics, Tian Yang's doubts are completely commonsense.
But one of the conditions for him to recruit Chu Yu to Tianji Comics Club was to promise Chu Yu that his Jojo's bizarre adventure could be serialized on Xuanjing in two episodes a week.
Therefore, Qin Bei was not ready to reason with everyone.
"This is something I have already decided, and I am not proposing it for everyone to discuss! I will be responsible for any problems that arise in the future!"
Qin Bei's tone was very firm, and those editors who also wanted to persuade him after seeing someone come forward heard this, and their hearts sank, and they immediately gave up this idea.
They could see Qin Bei's determination, after all, the decision of this kind of thing was in Qin Bei's hands, not only would it be useless to talk about it, but it would make him unhappy!
But they thought about the JoJo manga for a while, and they couldn't help but have endless doubts in their hearts!
What kind of relationship does Shui Xin have with the editor-in-chief Qin, just this work makes the editor-in-chief so supportive, and he does not hesitate to let the two comics finish quickly to make room for his comics!
Ye Chun heard that he was related to Liu Ling, the editor-in-chief of Xuangui, was an aunt and nephew, so what about Shui Xin and Qin Bei? Could it be that there was also a distant relative? Or did Shui Xin abduct Qin Bei's daughter?
But none of their guesses are reliable!
As the editor-in-chief, Qin Bei has the right to make such a decision, but the company is a company after all, not someone's word, he said that he would be responsible for this decision, and his editors naturally won't say much, but if Jojo's bizarre adventure, which occupies two serial seats, is quickly cut in half after its popularity is sluggish, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to the prestige he has established in the Tianji Comics Club.
However, he is willing to gamble, just as when he was young when he first entered the industry, he met Zeng Guangxin, a great cartoonist who was poor at the time and later became famous in the comics industry, and the two reasonably serialized a super popular comic, which once suppressed Tianji Comics' biggest competitor, the Hedgehog Comics Company, and with this credit he can sit in the position of editor-in-chief today.
In the same way, although he is older, his heart is the same as always!
He is also very skeptical about the quality of the Jojo prequel, but he doesn't believe that with Shuixin's talent, he can't see the flaws in his work.
So when Shuixin said that the popularity of the jojo prequel might be sluggish after the serialization, he believed it, but he also agreed to Shuixin's request to serialize the jojo prequel.
And Shui Xin said that the main story of jojo will also be a comic work that does not lose to the initial D, and Qin Bei also believes it, so he will make this decision today.
After all, Qin Bei knew in his heart that at his point, if he didn't gamble and didn't create opportunities, he would basically work in this editor-in-chief position until he retired, he was only forty-one, and he still felt that he had a lot of energy and enthusiasm, and he didn't want to give up the road to promotion so soon.
And bet, if Chu Yu's jojo is really as he said, it is a comic that does not lose the initial D, then the credit for recruiting Chu Yu may play a huge role in his continued promotion in the future!
Moreover, after Chu Yu left Xuangui, the successive successes in animation made Qin Bei's heart even more settled.
It doesn't make sense that such a talented talented manga artist who has never fallen down would stumble on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Although from the current point of view, JoJo's bizarre adventure prequel is indeed substandard and not very popular, isn't this also expected by Shuixin himself?
In the end, since Shui Xin's debut, his judgment has never been wrong, it's just that people from the outside world keep questioning him!
Qin Beichang let out a long breath, he didn't think too much, and he didn't hesitate to decide what he decided!
He looked at the crowd, said a few passing words, and ended the meeting!
........
And at the same time that this matter was completely settled, the second part of jojo was finally completed, and Chu Yu, who was sorting out the draft, was also notified by the system.
"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3........ It's unlocked!"
