Chapter 58: Chen Zijiao's Scheme

Chapter 58

"Snapped!"

A loud noise came from the room.

The assistants who were painting outside were silent.

They really can't stand this kind of environment, especially after the publication of "Y's", the whole studio has completely changed the world.

Every time Chen Zijiao looked at them, his eyes were full of hatred, as if the two of them had stolen his treasure.

"boom!"

The door was suddenly opened, Chen Zijiao's eyes were bloodshot, and black ink stained his shirt and fingers.

"Is the manuscript finished?" Chen Zijiao glared at the two assistants angrily.

"No...no..." The assistant looked flustered, and the ink from the dip pen splashed onto the manuscript paper, "I...I just...the background of one page is not finished..."

"What? The background is not drawn well?" Chen Zijiao's eyes widened, "Then why... the background quality on "Y's" is higher than yours, but it didn't affect the speed of the comic? Why! Tell me!"

The assistant looked at Chen Zijiao's ferocious face, and the chair moved back half an inch involuntarily, "I... sorry, I can't compare to him..."

"It's not as good as him... dare to ask for such a high salary?" Chen Zijiao's face turned red, "Get out...you get out! I don't need useless garbage here!"

The assistant slapped the table and yelled at Chen Zijiao, "What the hell! I don't want to do this anymore!"

The assistant put away the tools angrily, and raised his middle finger at Chen Zijiao. Seeing this scene, another assistant quickly lowered his head, pretending not to know anything, and continued to draw ink lines.

Dumbfounded, Chen Zijiao watched his assistant leave angrily, unable to say a word for a long time, and after a while, Wang Wenhong appeared at the door with a confused face.

"What's the matter?" Wang Wenhong asked puzzled.

"Get out. Brother Wang, help me find another assistant... By the way, I won't ask for this assistant again, and I suggest that you don't find him another job." Chen Zijiao turned and entered the studio with a gloomy face.

Wang Wenhong frowned slightly, and glanced at another assistant.

"Wang Bian..." The assistant stood up from his seat.

Wang Wenhong waved his hand, signaling him to sit down and continue working, while he took a deep breath and entered Chen Zijiao's studio.

The studio was a mess.

Ink was spilled all over the floor, and scraps of manuscript paper were also sprinkled on every corner of the floor. Dip pens, rulers, even the drawing board fell to the floor, leaving only a crumpled copy of "Y's" on the table.

"What grade?" Chen Zijiao turned his back to Wang Wenhong and pressed his hands on the table.

"Sixth place." Wang Wenhong said boldly.

"Where's the booklet?" Chen Zijiao turned around and looked at Wang Wenhong, the blood in his eyes was particularly obvious against the white of his eyes.

"Today the magazine said that it will increase the promotion of "Faltering". At the same time, the third reprint should be able to save it." Wang Wenhong took a deep breath and repeated what President Luo Zhi said at today's meeting.

"Rescue?" Chen Zijiao opened his mouth slightly, his eyes were a little distracted, "Could it be that... "Topple" can only be described as 'rescue'? Why didn't that stinky woman, Su Han, come to help? Isn't this her work? ?"

Hearing Chen Zijiao's hysterical roar, Wang Wenhong closed his eyes, and after silently reciting three numbers in his heart, he opened his eyes and stared at Chen Zijiao.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"Nonsense, do I still have the heart to listen to lies now?" Chen Zijiao glared at Wang Wenhong.

"Then don't think about the rookie king, the most urgent goal now is how to kill Shen Xin and his "Y's"." Wang Wenhong clenched his teeth.

"Of course I want to kill him...I want to trample him underfoot." Chen Zijiao said.

"This is not enough." Wang Wenhong shook his head,

"It's not enough to just put him underfoot. I'm going to say an exaggeration, and by next June, at most, there will be only one copy of "Shaky" and "Y's" that will survive."

"Eh? Why?" Wang Wenhong asked in surprise.

"Why? Haha...the reason is very simple, the market. Do you think Yunhai is Hongchuan? Not at all. The volume of Yunhai digesting comics and booklets is completely two orders of magnitude from Hongchuan, and the degree of attention is completely different. .Next June will be the time when major awards will start to compete. In order to promote their ace works, major magazines will use all their strength. It is conceivable that the competition will be cruel at that time.

"Although the previous 15 Newcomer Awards were divided equally by the three major magazines, I speculate that "Shaky" and "Y's" are both good, and I think there is a chance to be selected for next year's "Newcomer Award". However, the market of Yunhai is different from that of Hongchuan. The gap is too big. Even the entire comic market in Yunhai may not be able to release a super work that can compete with the three major publications.

"So, do you know your situation now? It's not enough to just step on "Y's". If you want to make a splash in the domestic market, you must suck up the "blood" of the Yunhai comics market. Or, you use "Shaky" Destroy "Y's", otherwise, wait to be destroyed by "Y's"."

Chen Zijiao was a little dumbfounded, he only thought of defeating Shen Xin, but he didn't expect the reality to be so cruel.

"Next June...Only one of Shakedown and Y's will survive..."

"What's wrong? Afraid? If you give up voluntarily, there is nothing you can do." Wang Wenhong shrugged.

"Are you kidding! If only one work survives, it must be "Shaky"!" Chen Zijiao slammed on the table with all his strength.

"It's okay...you're not a fool." Wang Wenhong sneered, "Okay, after drinking the 'Chinese medicine', it's time to get down to business. President Luo Zhi is going to launch another round of advertisements for "Shaky" and the sales volume of the booklet "Shaky" should There will be a rise. In the near future, you must quickly find the climax of the story, success or failure depends on it.”

Chen Zijiao nodded again and again, "I will as soon as possible... ah!"

Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly remembered something.

"What's wrong?" Wang Wenhong asked in surprise.

"I... drove Gao Hang away." Chen Zijiao rubbed his forehead.

"Hurry up and call him back." Wang Wenhong glared at Chen Zijiao, feeling an impulse in his heart that "a child cannot be taught".

"No need." Chen Zijiao shook his head, "Actually, there is one thing that I am particularly concerned about. Do you know what it is?"

"What?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"The level... the level of the assistant is not good. He... and that idiot outside, can't compare to Shen Xin's assistant! You can judge the difference between the two from the separate volumes of "Faltering" and "Y's", Especially in the background, the gap is more obvious."

Chen Zijiao handed Wang Wenhong the booklets of "Shaky" and "Y's".

The painting style of "Shaky" and "Y's" are two types. "Y's" is more realistic. At first glance, it doesn't just look good, but after a long time, it will look very comfortable. But "Shaky" is just the opposite. The characters are exaggerated, and the background happens to be the weakness. This is indeed a problem.

"What are you going to do?" Wang Wenhong asked differently.

"First of all, of course, rewrite the name. Besides, I want Shen Xin's two assistants."

"Find an assistant?" Wang Wenhong asked in surprise.

"Find assistants. Even if I give them double salaries, I will hire those two assistants. Especially the background of the painting. I want to see how Shen Xin can draw "Y's" without assistants!" Chen Zijiao said with a sinister smile.

Wang Wenhong sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Then you don't need to dig two, just one." Wang Wenhong said puzzled.

It costs a lot of money to dig two people in a row.

"This is called 'drawing from the bottom'. I want to see Shen Xin's panic when she suddenly finds out that there are no assistants. Moreover, once the quality of one or two episodes drops, I have a chance to regain the lead."

Wang Wenhong frowned, Chen Zijiao chose the worst path.

In this way, it is estimated that she will completely tear herself apart with Shen Xin.
