Chapter 36 President
It took Kong Lan about five minutes to explain to Meng Zhe why she held the New Comic Monthly.
It turned out that Kong Lan went to the New Comic Monthly magazine this morning. When he was doing business, he happened to meet two men and quarreled loudly in the magazine.
One of them roared angrily: "Song Guixu, you actually published "Light Voice Girl" without authorization?! When Meng Zhe knows about this, come and tell me Jiang Bai, how should I explain it to him?!"
Song Guixu, who was yelled at, was obviously the editor of the magazine. He replied, "Lao Jiang, I'm not very authentic about this, but I'm also trying to save our magazine! Now, you know what's going on with the magazine. Relying on those over-the-shes comic strips alone, the magazine is about to fall down! The above means that if the magazine circulation next year is only a few hundred copies per month like this year, it will be suspended! Lao Jiang, my heart hurts! I'm anxious!"
Song Guixu clenched his fist with a sad and indignant look on his face: "Lao Jiang--, I can't watch the place where I have dedicated my youth. If I say so, it's gone!"
"...Even so, you shouldn't have taken Meng Zhe's child's manuscript and published it without saying hello! That child is a good seedling. What's rare is that he wants to devote himself to accumulation now. Do you want to praise and kill him by secretly publishing his works?!"
......
Kong Lan, who listened to the quarrel between the two people clearly, stopped to listen because she heard Meng Zhe's name, and then she understood the cause and effect of the matter.
The thing is like this: A few days ago, the man named Jiang Bai, who was in charge of Xingshi, asked Song Guixu, the editor of the magazine, to drink a drink at home. When the wine was half-boiled, Jiang Bai inadvertently talked about Meng Zhe. Song Guixu, who was curious, saw Meng Zhe's light-sounding girl's manuscript. Then Song Guixu said that he wanted to take the manuscript back to observe and study. Jiang Bai, who was basically drunk at that time, agreed dizzy.
Next, Song Guixu put the content of the first episode of "Light Voice Girl" on the latest issue of New Comic Monthly under the unification of Meng Zhe and Jiang Bai without consulting Meng Zhe. Even Song Guixu persuaded the editor-in-chief to expand the four-panel comic section, which originally had only one page, to the number of pages that could put down the complete story.
Although the magazine was actually printed by Jiang's printing factory, Jiang Bai did not notice this at all because the number of printed copies was only a few hundred. It was not until this morning that Jiang Bai went to inspect the printing factory and heard that the youngest zero-time pony in the factory inadvertently talked about it, and then he knew about it!
"In a word... that's what it looks like. Your Uncle Jiang was a little embarrassed to apologize to you in person, so he asked me to apologize to you. He said that as long as you don't want to, he will never let the magazine serialize your comics in the next issue. Brother Zhe, your Uncle Jiang is very good, and you are far beyond my sister's expectations.
Kong Lan, who clearly explained the cause and effect of the matter, finally said so. Her last sentence was worth some fun.
Originally, Kong Lan felt that Meng Zhe was just a slightly unusual teenager who could draw a few comics with the dream of becoming a cartoonist. Kong Lan will recognize Meng Zhe as her younger brother. More of the reason is that she thinks Meng Zhe is very cute and speaks and does things very much like her own brother.
But Meng Zhe's performance has always been beyond Kong Lan's expectations.
From painting the hairstyle avatar, to easily estimating the output value of the animation industry, to silently drawing this eye-catching light tone girl.
This little brother really doesn't look like a child... There won't be an adult's soul hidden in his body, will he?
Kong Lan couldn't help guessing like this, but then she immediately rejected the idea with a smile - how could this kind of thing be possible? This child is just smarter than ordinary children.
That Huang Yulang began to draw comics at the age of nine, and dared to start a business at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
Shangguan Xiaobao, who has the same status as Huang Yulang, also debuted at the age of 11.
However, compared with Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao, his younger brother will definitely be more excellent.
Oh, Aunt Li has already told me that every morning during this period, Xiao Zhe's younger brother has the opportunity to get up early and go to the Taoist temple on the mountain to practice Chinese martial arts. After returning home, he will begin to study all kinds of classics.
After lunch, Xiao Zhe's younger brother will take a nap for more than an hour, and then go to Jiang's house to guide the two little girls in the Jiang family to paint. In the evening, the child will concentrate on drawing comics again. Aunt Li said that all kinds of drawings drawn in his room are almost half a person tall...
To this extent, the child's goal and hope are just a matter of time.
It has a clear purpose and can act unswervingly to achieve the goal, which is very similar to my sister.
......
Under the gaze of Kong Lan, Meng Zhe finally said, "Is it like this? I said that Uncle Jiang should not do such a thing... But it's okay. Now that Sister Lan wants to enter the animation industry, how can I, as a younger brother, not help?
Although he still holds the purpose of gaining fame and taking advantage of the situation, Meng Zhe will definitely not say it.
You can't tell Sister Lan that she has changed her mind and debut now. The purpose is actually for Zhao Yufen, the hateful head teacher in Zhenyi Town, right? Why don't you let this sister laugh to death?
"Sister Lan, haven't you said your specific entrepreneurial ideas yet?"
Meng Zhe suddenly remembered this question.
"It's very simple - first set up a periodical magazine with a regional surname, and then make a trial issue that can attract people to read. Then, one or two issues will be released for free to make a reputation, and then enter the business stage. After all, the funds are limited now, and there are some better plans that cannot be implemented yet. Anyway... I just need to type out the name first.
Kong Lan is also confident about this problem.
"I see! When Sister Lan's magazine is ready, I will immediately transfer the "Light Voice Girl" to be serialized. Meng Zhe nodded. Kong Lan's strategy is moderate, just as she said - the funds are limited, and it is difficult for a skillful woman to cook without rice.
Unfortunately, Kong Lan, who always did things unexpectedly, smiled and said the unexpected words again in a slightly hoarse voice.
Kong Lan said, "Oh, you don't have to transfer your brother, because my sister has signed a contract with the county government axe. From today on, I will be the president of the New Comic Monthly magazine. By the way, sister, I'm going to change the name of the magazine. Brother Xiaozhe, do you have any suggestions?
