My Cartoonist Strategy

Recently, to be precise, after the revision of Dreamer, the atmosphere of the editorial department of New World has become very embarrassing.

Every day, when the editor-in-chief passed by Yan Wei, he never forgot to look at Yan Wei, and after sighing that Yan Wei had nothing to say, he sighed again.

Xiaoli, who was very sensitive to gossip, quickly noticed the abnormality of the editor-in-chief. When she was eating, she talked about this matter, and finally whispered Yan Yan, "Sister Yan, you really have to be careful. You are so beautiful, Don’t worry about the editor in chief."

"What are you thinking about?" Yan Wei glanced at Xiaoli angrily. "Do you think he is thinking about these things now? Isn't he bothered about Dreamer?"

"Yeah, I heard that the sales of this week's "Dreamer" is also good. But our magazine is starting to go downhill. I heard from the sales department that this edition of "New World" is 30,000 or 40,000 fewer than the previous edition. Ben. Having said that, the quality of Weekly Dreamer is really good, and the new works of Teacher Liu and Teacher Wang are also of high quality. It would be nice if it was published in New World."

The two were formerly the core authors of "New Weekly" and were stolen by "Dreamer".

"They are not the point, the key is "Shaky". The comics we serialized are not comparable to it. After all, Su Han's signboard is very appealing, and "Criminal" is only published in the monthly magazine, so part of Su Han's Readers bought "Dreamer" exclusively. Coupled with the female characters drawn by'Dragon Play Water', they are very attractive and also attract some male readers."

"But the magazine is in poor condition, and the editor should not always observe you?" Xiao Li puzzled.

"Why is he watching me? Obviously when I hand over the manuscript." Yan Fan solved Xiao Li's doubts.

"Ah? You mean that kid? Well, yes, after all, "Formula Love" has really good results. But he may not be able to draw a good serial comic." Xiao Li muttered to herself and noticed Yan Wei smiling Without saying a word, the light flashed and asked quickly, "Sister Yan, wouldn't the boy really draw the name?"

"The first three words are drawn, but the quality of one word is not good. I asked him to draw another one and submit it at the serial meeting tomorrow."

"How's the quality?" Xiaoli blinked like a curious baby.

"Quality...you will know tomorrow." Yan Wan narrowed her eyes.

Yan Fan guessed right, the editor-in-chief has been worrying about "New World" for a while.

As an old fritter in the comic industry for more than ten or twenty years, he certainly knows where the problem with "New World" is now.

In recent years, the weekly "Comic Futura" masterpieces have emerged endlessly, which has put pressure on other magazines. Even together with "Weekly Manga Fly" which is one of the three major magazines, it has to introduce comics from the 11th district, barely supporting, which makes readers’ The reading level is improved accordingly.Before, they thought of the wonderful comics, now they dismiss them.

Under such pressure, it is difficult for a domestic second- and third-tier magazine such as "New World" to release comics serialized for more than two years.

The pillar before "New World" was the football comic "Chasing the Wind", but after entering a weak period, no matter how I tried, I could not return to the top. It is estimated that it will be forced to end in at least half a year.

At this moment, the revision of "Dreamer" and the appearance of "Shaky" made "New World" really shaky. The hardcore author was dug and the magazine had many choices. The editor-in-chief can only rack his brain and let " New World revived.

He wants a good work now, some time ago,

It would be nice if "New World" could launch another masterpiece.

The editor-in-chief sighed.

...

Serial meetings are usually held once a month and will be held on the last week of the month on Friday. Before that, all editors choose the names they recognize and put them in the serial meeting for discussion.

The editor-in-chief, who was in a bad mood, called all the editors into the meeting room at 11 o'clock.

"I ordered a lunch box for everyone, so I don't want to go out at noon. Any good work, please hand it over... Let's start with Xiao Zhang?" The editor looked at a young editor on the left.

Xiao Zhang immediately gave the copied name to the hands of each editor.

"This is Zhang Da’s new book "You Can Meet You Everywhere". It’s an easy-to-read cartoon, mainly about the male and female protagonists of different classes in the same school. After entering the first year of high school, they often meet on various occasions. , Misunderstandings, and plots developed from this."

Yan Du knows Zhang Da and has a big brain hole, but the painter is rough and the picture often fails to achieve the desired result, as does the name of this comic.

She has been looking at the name of "Y's" in recent days. At this moment, she will see "Where I Can Meet You", which tastes like chewing wax.But the works that can be delivered to the serial meeting are all approved by the responsible editor. She can't say much, and can only secretly sigh when others are discussing this manuscript.

Observing the editor's look at Xiao Zhang all the time, immediately moved her gaze, and said hippy with a smile: "Sister Yan seems to have any thoughts on this comic."

"No, I think it's pretty good." Yan Fan didn't want to grow out of the festival.

"So what did you sigh just now?" Xiao Zhang asked again.

"Ah? My cat can't be found."

"puff."

Xiao Li, who was sitting next to Yan Wei, covered her mouth and laughed.She knew that Yan Fan didn't have a cat at all.

Xiao Zhang's face was hot, and he said daringly: "Sister Yan, how much do you say?"

"That's right, Sister Yan, tell him where this name can't be." Xiao Li's voice was very low, but the people in the meeting room heard clearly.

Yan Wei glared Xiaoli angrily. This little Nizi was really not afraid of trouble, but the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief also looked at her, and she could only express her opinion.

"The idea is good, continuous use of coincidence promotes the development of the story, and the rhythm is also relatively light. It is suitable for teenagers from 9 to 14 and 15 years old. The title of the book is very unique. As a reader, I will be attracted by the title of the book, which is very good for comics. High expectations."

Xiao Zhang nodded and agreed with Yan Fan's words.

In fact, for the title of the book, he discussed with Zhang Da for several hours.

"But I think the title of the book is a failure, it limits the rhythm of the comics, and the title of the book highlights "coincidence", so I can only use "coincidence" to promote the plot. I want to ask, how does teacher Zhang draw more than 30 words, Will there be so many'coincidences'? And, such stories are more suitable for unit dramas, and not for stories that span several words."

Yan Fan didn't want to make Xiao Zhang too ugly. He picked up a flaw that was painless and itchy, but didn't expect to ask Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang felt that his throat was a little dry, "This... I will discuss with Teacher Zhang, and it must be more than 30 words. Sister Yan said so much, I think you should also have your favorite name? I don’t know if you can take it out, everyone. study together."

"I haven't reached me yet." Yan Wei refused politely.

The editor-in-chief waved his hand, "Editor Yan, if you have a good name, you might as well take it out."
