Chapter 49 Eighth
Well... I hate power outages.
---Text dividing line---
Although the time of the solar calendar has quietly entered the beginning of February 1994, Kong Lan did not embark on a journey back to Taiwan for the Spring Festival with Jiang Shuyue until the day of the Lunar New Year.
Before leaving, Kong Lan completed the sales of the third issue of Anime Boy in 1994, and held a year-end meeting of the editorial department. He gave red envelopes to the editors who had worked hard for several months according to the size of contributions.
Yao Feila and Chen Xiang also left on this day - with their own hard work, they went home for the Spring Festival and let their families believe that painting comics can really support themselves.
Even Zheng Xusheng, who draws short stories, has more than 1,000 yuan in cash, not to mention Yao Fei, who draws a few people.
Before leaving, except for Zheng Xusheng, who was still drawing short stories, several other people left two to three original manuscripts, so as to avoid delays after the Spring Festival, and the magazine serialization opened the skylight.
He played chess with Wang Zhenren for a few months in Wufengguan. Occasionally, when Meng Zhe drew comics and encountered the situation that needed to design a chess game, Chang Hao, who guided one or two, also returned to Shanghai.
Before leaving, Chang Hao told Meng Zhe that he would not have time to help again because he was going to participate in the competition next year...
Meng Zhe said that he had a good journey, and silently wished Chang Hao, the second of ten thousand years, that his fate had changed because of this experience. Under the wings of his little butterfly, he ascended to the throne of the international championship in advance.
As everyone left one by one, the editorial department of Tianjiao Club, which had been lively for several months, suddenly became deserted and lost a little popularity. Meng Zhe couldn't stand this silence, so he ran to Jiang's house with the manuscript in his arms, using the excuse of guiding the two big Loli to draw pictures to flirt with the fact.
Jiang Weiyu is still gentle and quiet, but because of what happened with Meng Zhe, he unconsciously blushed when he saw Meng Zhe.
Jiang Xiyao is naturally careless. Of course, she is very happy now, because the author's "Legend of the Twelve Kingdoms" signed by the rocking-tailed rabbit has been serialized in the third issue of "Anime Boy" that has just been put on sale!
Thinking that there will be a lot of people in the country, when she sees the Legend of the Twelve Kingdoms painted by herself and her sister, she will praise that it is extremely beautiful. Jiang Xiyao is very excited. She hasn't slept well for two nights.
"Meng Jiji--, readers reply to the questionnaire, what rank are we in? Tell me soon, what's the ranking?
So, as soon as she saw Meng Zhe, Jiang Xiyao ran to Meng Zhe's side, grabbed Meng Zhe's arm and shook it vigorously.
Influenced by Meng Zhe's emphasis on sending readers' questionnaires, not only the editors of Tianjiao Society attach great importance to this, but also Jiang Weiyu and Jiang Xiyao, who have a close relationship with Meng Zhe, also feel that this survey data is very important.
"Xiao Zhe is coming, is it cold? Auntie, I'm going to get you a cup of hot tea to warm up..." At this time, Hu Caiwei took this cloth bag out of the kitchen with Jiang Bai. When she saw Meng Zhe, she greeted him with a smile.
Meng Zhe will naturally not bother his future mother-in-law. He repeatedly said that it was not cold, and that he could do it by himself by drinking water or something.
Therefore, Hu Caiwei, who had already regarded Meng Zhe as her family, did not continue to be polite. She just asked Jiang Xiyao again: "Meier, don't hang on your brother Xiaozhe like a koala. Mom and Dad go out to buy something. Do you and Xun'er go?
"I won't go! Mengji guitar hasn't told me what's the ranking of my sister and my sister's "Legend of the Twelve Kingdoms"!"
Jiang Xiyao turned her head into a rattle. How can she go out to buy something now?
"You girl, really... Where's Xun'er? Do you want to go? Hu Caiwei shook her head helplessly, and then asked her eldest daughter.
"I, I won't go either. There are a lot of people on the street now. I don't like it. Jiang Weiwei also shook her head and said that she did not want to go out. She was not a lively girl, and she also wanted to know the ranking of The Legend of the Twelve Kingdoms.
Since neither of her two daughters wanted to go, Hu Caiwei casually said two more words to let Jiang Xiyao order a lady, and then went out with her husband Jiang Bai at ease - she really didn't treat Meng Zhe as an outsider at all!
"...eighth."
Meng Zhe finally said the ranking of Legend of the Twelve Kingdoms after the statistics of the number of votes in this newspaper.
"Ah-woo, how can it be the eighth place?"
Obviously, this ranking can't satisfy Jiang Xiyao. No... it's just to disappoint this girl.
She was also a little disappointed, and Jiang Wei, as a sister, did not speak, but her disappointed eyes proved everything.
"Two stupid girl, this ranking is already very good! If I hadn't done the Mirror World - Warriors of the Three Kingdoms in this issue, you might be the seventh place. Meng Zhe stretched out his hand and played two big lolitas, one by one, and then continued to say, "If such a ranking were an adult contributor, I would write to invite the other party to start drawing a long series..."
In Meng Zhe's opinion, the two little girls are not suitable for drawing long stories, because the speed of the two is too slow now, and there is no problem in drawing short stories.
"What?! Meng Jiji, are you lying? Can you draw a long story in the eighth place?
Although her brain was broken by Meng Zhe, Jiang Xiyao, who covered her forehead, did not fight back. She wanted to figure out whether Meng Zhe was comforting herself or saying it seriously.
"The eighth place in so many previous issues, none of them has been adapted and serialized..."
Sister Jiang Weiqi directly took out the facts and put forward the truth. She felt that Meng Zhe must have really comforted herself and her sister. How could the results of the ninth place be adapted into a growth chapter?
"It used to be before, but now is now. In the past, there were no eight works in the magazine, but now there are only eight long serials, so the eighth place is already very powerful!" Meng Zhe replied with a smile, and then he changed the topic: "Xun'er, Mei'er, what do you think of the "Mirror World" series I set this time?"
"Well... I think it's awesome!"
Speaking of Meng Zhe's design, Jiang Xiyao immediately showed a strong interest in the comprehensive comic college named "Mirror World".
"Let the protagonists of chess souls, dreamers and light-tone girls all live in a college city. Sometimes when they go out to school, they will occasionally pass by on the road. It's so interesting!" Jiang Xiyao continued to say. After thinking about it, the little girl clenched her fist and said, "Also, Meng Jiji, you are so cunning! The protagonist in "The Guardian of the Three Kingdoms", which has not been serialized, was also stuffed into the college city, and actually made a strange and interesting mirror image of the world of the Three Kingdoms! In this way, if the next issue of the new series starts, it will definitely win the first place, right?
"That... Meng Zhe's next animation teenager, will he really stop serializing "Dream Eater"?"
What Jiang Wei is concerned about is another problem.
"Well, the next issue of Dream Eaters will stop serialization. The Silian Publishing House will issue a separate book for Dream Eaters after the Spring Festival."
Meng Zhe nodded and replied.
Since a new serialization is about to be opened, Meng Zhe will of course choose the surname to stop one. At the same time, there is no problem with the serialization of three, and the four serials will be a little tired.
So, Meng Zhe plans to take the least popular "Dream Eater" for a year or two by the opportunity of issuing a separate edition. After all, he has already taken the previous suspension of "Go Boy" as an example, right?
In fact, the Silian Publishing House originally planned to publish Chess Soul and Light Voice Girl, but Meng Zhe did not agree - the separate version of these two works has been prepared by Tianjiao Society itself, so it is no longer allowed to let Silian Publishing House make money, but to publish "Dream Eater" to Silian Publishing House, but it is using To maintain the relationship between the two sides.
