Chapter 168 Anger
Shen Xin won the Newcomer Award, which not only increased the sales of "Y's" and "New World", but also made "New World" famous. Some cartoonists who are slightly famous in the comics industry also noticed its existence. Tentative short comics were sent to the editorial department one after another.
The editors of the editorial department discussed the choice of these manga, and at the same time discussed whether to serialize the new manga.
The steps of most magazines are almost the same, first determine the new manga to be serialized, and then determine the manga to be cut in half according to the number of new manga.
In general, no more than 4 new comics will be serialized.
After nearly an hour of discussion, all the short comics to be published were confirmed, and the new serialized comics were also discussed.
But the quality of these comics did not satisfy the editor-in-chief, and after two discussions, only one was confirmed.
In the conference room, everyone's eyes were focused on the name in their hands, unable to make up their minds and make a choice.
At this moment, Song Ren pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in. The conference room was instantly solemn.
The editor-in-chief patiently looked sideways at Song Ren with an inexplicable anger in his heart.
As the president, instead of controlling the overall situation, he went to the editorial department to attend the serial meeting, which was quite free.
However, this time, Song Ren didn't intend to just listen on one side, but sat directly at the other far end of the meeting room, facing the editor-in-chief.
"Song Shao, what's the matter?" The editor-in-chief panted heavily and lowered his voice.
"I heard that you are holding a serialization meeting. I'll come over to have a look... have all the serialized works been confirmed?" Song Ren asked.
"Two short stories were selected, and only one was selected for serialization, and we need to continue the discussion." The editor-in-chief explained.
Song Ren nodded slightly, dragged his cheeks, and knocked on the table twice, "I heard that some old writers have also contributed, are they all over?"
"No, one passed, but the other two did not," said the editor-in-chief.
"Why?" Song Ren asked puzzled.
"The quality is not good. The storyboard of the drawing is too messy, the attitude of creating comics is extremely perfunctory, and the story is not interesting." The editor-in-chief explained.
"Oh? Let me take a look at those two short stories that I haven't read before."
Song Ren knocked on the table twice, before the editor-in-chief had time to respond, Li Jiming passed the name of the two movies to Song Ren.
The editor-in-chief glared at Li Jiming, and Li Jiming spread his hands with an expression of "I can't help it".
Song Ren didn't pay attention to the small movements of the two people, but carefully read the name twice.
"How about it... I have given both." Song Ren said.
"However, these two cartoons don't meet the requirements for publication, so it's not good to publish them here?" the editor-in-chief was confused.
"These two cartoonists should be relatively well-known. I remember one of them, which seems to have been serialized in "Comic Future" and was completed at the beginning of the year. Such a powerful cartoonist is exactly what we need." Song Renhe On the name, look at the editor-in-chief.
"Young Master Song..." Yan Fei raised her hand,
He said seriously, "After the serialization ended, this cartoonist also submitted four serializations to "Comic Future", but was rejected every time. I think he needs to adjust his status again and take comics seriously, otherwise, he will not be able to draw. Good work."
"Oh, really?" Song Ren rubbed his chin, "How do you understand it so clearly?"
"This manuscript was assigned to me. I looked at it and found that the quality was not good enough, so I checked his recent situation." Yan Fei explained.
"So, you even know how many times he has submitted manuscripts, and the status of each submission? He shouldn't tell you this, right?" Song Ren said coldly.
Yan Fei's expression changed slightly, "Young Master Song, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean by me?" Song Ren knocked on the table twice, just about to question Yan Fei, but the last rationality made him calm down a little.
"What I mean is that authors also have desires, and we should take their feelings into consideration. Just like Mr. Shen, before he came to "New World", he achieved nothing. In the end, he proved himself in our magazine. Perhaps, this Famous artists are not suitable for "Comic Future", but for us? Trees move to death, people move to live, right?"
Li Jiming glanced at Yan Fei, then at Song Ren, suddenly, as if he understood something, he immediately said: "Yes, I think so too! Moreover, these old authors submit articles to our magazine, if we refuse What do other old writers think of them? They will definitely say that before the "New World" brand has started, they will pick and choose."
Song Ren snapped his fingers, "Lao Li, you are right. We also need to use their fame to attract more authors and readers. That's it, Lao Li, you are in charge of dealing with these two old authors. Get in touch and let them improve the quality of the manuscript as soon as possible. As for the long story..."
Just as Song Ren was about to knock on the table, Li Jiming was quick-sighted, and handed over several serial names, "These are all things that need to be discussed."
The editor-in-chief frowned, never leaving Li Jiming's eyes.
Fortunately, the thermos cup is made of stainless steel, otherwise, he would have to crush it.
Song Ren glanced at the names of the authors, didn't recognize any of them, flipped through a few pages, and then closed the name with a lack of interest, "I'll listen to you, after all, you are experts. Can you continue the meeting?"
You've finished the meeting yourself, so why should we have a meeting?
There was a fire in the editor-in-chief's heart.
Some time ago, Song Ren's airborne editorial department had already made him feel very uncomfortable, but now he directly skipped the review of the name, which made him feel even more disgusted.
With such a big deal, what do you need the editorial department to do!
The editor-in-chief really wanted to shout out loud, but he didn't dare to.
"By the way, Yan Fei, you haven't told Teacher Shen that "Y's" is going to be an animation, have you?" Song Ren asked.
"Ah? I already told him that several companies are negotiating." Yan Fei looked confused, not knowing what Song Ren was thinking.
"No show. Fuck! Only 1.8 million was given, and the animation two years ago was given 2 million. Is the 'Newcomer Award' so worthless? Without 3 million, the animation copyright will not be sold! I can't let Shen The teacher is at a disadvantage!" Song Ren snorted coldly, and directly closed the door of the meeting room.
After hearing Song Ren's words, Yan Fei sighed helplessly.
Said it was for Shen Xin's consideration, hehe... Maybe it's because selling the game copyright has tasted the sweetness, so you are reluctant to let go?
3 million... It's probably out of the question.
In the months after the manga festival ends, the copyrights of the winning works are the hottest and the prices are the highest.
If it takes too long, the next "Newcomer Award" will come out soon, who will buy "Y's" then?
I wonder what Song Ren is thinking?
In the meeting room, there was no sound, and every editor looked at each other.
"Old Li." The editor-in-chief looked at Li Jiming.
"Um?"
"Go, tell the three cartoonists with your name and let them prepare the manuscript."
"Oh..." Li Jiming said in response.
"Go now." Seeing that Li Jiming didn't intend to leave, the editor-in-chief emphasized again.
"But...the meeting has not yet..." Li Jiming looked around, but found that everyone bowed their heads and said nothing. He immediately understood that the editor-in-chief was trying to punish him, so he clenched his fists and nodded slightly, "I see."
After Li Jiming left the meeting room, the editor-in-chief said, "Continue with the meeting!"
