My Cartoonist Strategy

Yan Wei turned back when he heard the editor-in-chief yelling Li Jiming's name.

Xiao Li pulled on Yan Fu's clothes. "It is estimated that Lao Li has a headache recently."

"why?"

"Did you really forget? Didn't "Y's" take away the header color page of "Chasing the Wind"? Of course, the color page in the volume is also good, but it is still not as good as the color page. He estimates that he has a headache now, How to convey this to Teacher Gong." Xiao Li explained.

Cough...

Yan Wei is also a little embarrassed.

Gong Yan is also an old author. A year ago, he won the first place of several survey papers on New World by "Chasing the Wind", and he began to play big names. Some of them were forgetful.

"Wind Chasing Youth" tells the story of a group of young people who like to chase their dreams.

The progress of this cartoon is very fast. It only took six or seven months for the team where the protagonist was to win the championship of the world middle school football competition. At that time, the comic was constantly refreshing, and the readers were very enjoyable.

But because the plot ran too fast, and was already at the end of the story, Gong Yan realized that something was wrong.

At that time, "The Wind Chasing Boy" was a big-selling work in Yunhai City. If it is directly completed, Gong Yan will lose a lot of money.Unwilling to reconcile, he thought of a loss trick-when returning home, the protagonist's plane crashed, and the comics changed the protagonist logically.

Since then, the performance of "Chasing the Wind" has plummeted, the readers of the follow-up have dropped sharply, and the magazine is also in a hurry.

In order to save the popularity of comics, the magazine has thought of many ways, such as signing a book to sell, looking for an animation company to make an animation, and even contacting a game company.The magazine also wanted to end "Chasing the Wind", and then let the editor and Gong Yan polish another comic together. At first, Gong Yan disagreed. After three or four months of stalemate, Gong Yan showed signs of relaxation.

According to common sense, even signing book sales and making animations can't raise the popularity of a comic, so the role of curling color pages is even more minimal.

However, Gong Yan was also the signboard of "New World" anyway, saying that the good roll-up color page was suddenly replaced by the roll-up color page, and no one would be happy.

""Wind Chasing Boys" is almost over, in fact, there is no difference between one or one curly color page. But even so, you still have to tell him quickly. Too long, he will think you are not Pay attention to him and have opinions about us. Remember, don't stimulate him when speaking." The editor waved his hand and asked Li Jiming to deal with the matter quickly.

"Even if Teacher Gong has an opinion, isn't it your idea?"

Depressed, Li Jiming returned to his desk and finally couldn't help complaining.

The editor-in-chief's eyes were always on him. After half a minute, he could no longer hold on, carrying the document bag, and immediately went to the magazine.

On the way to Gongyan Studio, Li Jiming thought a lot, but until the door of the studio, he still didn't think about how to explain the situation to Gongyan, but he knocked on the door subconsciously.

Huh?

When Li Jiming recovered, he heard the footsteps coming from the door.

He hadn't thought of his words, the door was opened, and a young man appeared in front of him.

"Li Bian? Just now the teacher was still saying, I finally got a packet of good tea, and I want to ask you to drink it. It's a coincidence that you have come before two or three hours." The young man saw Li Jiming quickly. Let Li Jiming enter the house.

"Haha, this is... there is a good heart." Li Jiming laughed twice, "Yes, is Mr. Gong busy now?"

"Fortunately, the color page is being drawn. Isn't it necessary to submit the color page in two weeks? This time the teacher is very concerned about the color, saying that this time he will not let Li Bian be disappointed."

Haha...

Li Jiming sighed, knowing why today, why should he be.

If it is not to die to change the protagonist,

Although it has not fallen out of the top ten yet, the sales volume of the single book is less than 50,000, which is not much different from ordinary comics.

"Yo, old Li, are you here?" On the side of the hall, a bald middle-aged man colored with a marker. When he saw Li Jiming coming in, he immediately put down the pen and stood up from his seat. Isn't it time to receive the paper?"

"Oh, I just take a look."

"I don't worry about the quality of my coloring?" said the middle-aged bald man with a big smile.

"Mr. Gong, I certainly believe in the quality of your color pages, but your progress...it's really too slow." Li Jiming perfunctoryly said.

Gong Yan's coloring level is more than inferior. He is not a professional art student after all, and he is also an older cartoonist. Regardless of style or skill, they are very different from young people.What's more, after he became famous, because he didn't pay attention, his coloring level remained below the standard, which also made Li Jiming a headache.

Now that the ranking of the questionnaire and the number of individual books have been kept at a very low level, Gong Yan has finally realized his problems, but no matter how hard he tries, the level can only return to the average level.

This is also true of the coloring page. It can only be said that the coloring page is qualified, not too good.

"How is it? Don't worry?" Gong Yan's face appeared proud.

"Um..." Li Jiming nodded. "Yes, Teacher Gong, do you have time now? I want to say a few words to you."

"Coincidentally, I also want to ask you to drink two cups of tea. This jar of tea is one of my students. I brought it back from abroad. You must haven't drunk it."

Li Jiming felt helpless. Even if he had good tea, he was not in a mood to drink now.

The reception room in Gongyan is very simple, a set of red solid wood sofa and coffee table, and a set of purple sand tea set.

Gong Yan cherishes this set of tea, which is not usually used for practical purposes, but today, this set of tea was placed on the coffee table before Li Jiming entered.

Does anyone come today?

Li Jiming was puzzled, but Mr. Gong didn't communicate much. At least, in the last year, he hadn't seen anyone come.

When Gong Yan saw the tea set on the table, his face instantly turned pale. "That... this morning, the people from my hometown came over. I asked them to drink two cups of tea. By the way, Lao Li, did you just have something to say? "

"Ah? That's the case..." Li Jiming's throat was a little dry, thinking again and again, or bowing to Gong Yan deeply, "I'm sorry, Teacher Gong, the editor-in-chief changed your curl color page to the middle volume color page. ..."

"Ah? Why?" Gong Yan's hand gripping the tea set shuddered, and his eyes were round.

"It's nothing... the editor-in-chief said, I will give you another curling page next month, counted as a make-up." Li Jiming quickly explained.

"Next month? Who knows next month, will there be "Chasing Wind Youth"!" Gong Yanqi was badly corrupted.

"Eh? Is "Wind Chasing Boy" about to end?" Li Jiming has some differences. He didn't hear Gong Yan mention this.

"Ah?" Gong Yan suddenly realized that he should say something that he shouldn't say, and he quickly waved his hand, but his movements appeared stiff. "Don't the editor always want me to draw a new comic? I was thinking about this recently. By the way, To whom did the editor-in-chief give the front page color page?"

"Oh, a newcomer. The performance of "New World" has recently declined somewhat, and the editor-in-chief wonders if there is a chance to stop the decline."

"Only one newcomer? Can you really stop "New World"?" Gong Yan sneered.

"It's not clear. By the way, if you really draw a new comic, which type are you going to develop?" Li Jiming asked.

"Not sure yet, will I discuss with you again at that time?" Gong Yan's face returned to normal, but his tone was rigid.

"That line, we will talk about it in detail later."

Picking out the most important things, Li Jiming was not in a mood to drink tea, so he hurriedly left the studio on the ground that he did not disturb Gong Yan's paintings.

Gong Yan sullenly put away his tea set, and after thinking about it again and again, he pulled out a business card from a book with a line in the middle, "President of Weekly Dreamer, Luo Zhi."

After a moment of contemplation, Gong Yan finally made up his mind and dialed the other party's phone.
