Chapter 93 The Roaring Body of Old Song
Xia Xing's classmates left Tianjiao Club the next day, but Xia Xing did not leave with her classmates. She resolutely demanded to stay in Tianjiao Club until the end of the summer vacation.
Although Meng Zhe has the idea of abducting others, he can't let go of this kind of thing... Now he has promised to keep Xia Xing. In the future, Guo Da, Li Da and Ma Da will also follow this example to draw a tiger like a cat. Don't guarantee the normal order of Tianjiao Society!
This is different from Zhang Cheng and Liu Kang who came earlier. Zhang Cheng and others are all 18 years old. Speaking of Zhang Cheng and Liu Kang... These two living treasures are now Yan Kai's assistants, and Yan Kai should be able to make his short stories in a few days, right?
So, under Meng Zhe's persuasion, Xia Xing finally stayed for three and a half days and asked Meng Zhe a lot of questions about comics, and then embarked on a long-distance bus home with an editor who happened to be on a business trip to Hunan.
Because of the existence of Tianjiao Club, the long-distance bus station in Wufeng County, which originally had only a few long-distance bus lines, has added more than a dozen new long-distance buses in just half a year, which happens to be used to Hunan.
Looking at Loli-like Xia Xing, who reluctantly rushed out of the car window after getting on the car, Meng Zhe whispered with emotion: "Ignorant girl or something, it's really better to lie..."
"Editor-in-chief Xiao Meng, what did you say?"
Song Guixu, who came with him, obviously didn't hear what Meng Zhe said.
"Nothing... I'm just self-reflecting."
Meng Zhe answered, but when he spoke, he was thinking very seriously: Zhu Letao, Zhao Jia and so on, now it seems to be about the same size as Xia Xing. Should we find a way to find and abduct them back?
Thinking about it, Meng Zhe once again showed a smile like a thief.
"Self-reflection?" Song Guixu looked at Meng Zhe suspiciously. He didn't think that Meng Zhe's bad smiling expression now would be self-reflection and what bad idea he was doing!
However, although Song Guixu is relatively straightforward, he will not say this idea, so he said again about official business: "Editor-in-Chief Xiao Meng, "Anime Boy" in early September can't be ranked."
Meng Zhe was stunned: "Can't you arrange it? What do you mean?"
"It just can't be arranged? Didn't you, editor-in-chief of Xiao Meng, two days ago, promise those two little devils to draw the magazines of "The World of Great Battle" and "ONE-piece" in early September? These two articles add up to a hundred pieces... Plus the original long serials in our magazine, plus the short stories scheduled to be published in early September... If they are fully published, the issue in early September will be more than 450 pages!"
Meng Zhe's attitude made Song Guixu excited. Why didn't the editor-in-chief Xiao Meng even notice this?
Now there are a total of long articles serialized on the animation teenager: "Ches Soul" about 40 pages per issue, "Degradation" about 19P, "Digital Baby" about 19P, "Princess Pearl" about 19P, "Xiaoshan Day" about 19P, "Light Voice Girl" 5~10P, "Robot Don't Cry" 19P , "Labor's Most Glorious" 19P, "The Legend of the Son of Heaven" about 20P, "Stupid Guardian of the Three Kingdoms" 19P... These add up to more than 200!
And each issue of "Anime Boy" will basically publish three to five short stories, which is more than 100.
In addition, the comments of each short story 'Comicist in Progress' will occupy about 4 or 5 pages, Meng Zhe's comprehensive comic city will occupy about 20 pages, as well as readers' letters and domestic and foreign cartoonists' introductions, which will also occupy 4 or 5 pages... A total of more than 350 pages. Yes?! Do you have it?!!!
Although the magazine should be brushed on both sides, is such a thick magazine only sold for 4.8 yuan per issue?! Do you have it?!!! If you add a hundred more, there will be basically no profit. Is there any?! Is there any?!!!
... After Song Guixu finished calculating Meng Zhe's account affectionately, Meng Zhe was surprised to find that at this time last year, he was still unable to sleep at night because of the lack of manuscripts on the first issue. In just one year, "Anime Boy", who worked hard to draw comics, had grown to the point that there were too many serial pages. It affects the extent of profit.
"In this case... In the first period of September, it happens to be the time for freshmen to enter the school in autumn, so the more than 100 pages added are crowned as a welfare in the name of 'admission special number' to make our readers optimistic."
Meng Zhe made such a decision after a little meditation. Even if he changed a lot of things after his rebirth, Meng Zhe did not think that the pirates and Naruto in the three migrant workers would become unpopular because of his rebirth.
Meng Zhe thinks that if his expectations are good, the 'One Piece', which began to be serialized in early September, should be able to attract a large number of new readers for "Anime Boy" and cultivate a large number of loyal fans!
Full of simple Chinese style, mixed with a small amount of exotic flavor, Kishimoto's historical version of "The World of Great Struggle" should also attract many new readers to join "Anime Boys"!
So in the long run, what's the big deal with making less money in a magazine?
I haven't seen those who play venture capital. Are they still very calm about losing tens of millions of dollars in three years and five years?
"Editor-in-chief Xiao Meng, it's okay to deal with this issue, but what should we do in the future? Our magazine is not state-owned, and we can't make much money in the future..."
Song Guixu is indeed a good employee. He has been thinking about the serialization in the future, but his vision is still a little narrow, and he only focuses on "Anime Boy" itself.
"Hehe, thank you, Uncle Song, for reminding me! About this question... I will call Sister Lan tonight, and then I will have a good discussion with Sister Lan.
Meng Zhe said with a smile that in fact, Kong Lan and Meng Zhe had also discussed this situation before. The result of their discussion at that time was to create new animation magazines for other types of readers.
This so-called new animation magazine for other types of readers, the first one is a magazine focusing on young female readers, and Meng Zhe has actually been preparing for this, and even the name of the magazine has been booked - "Anime Girl".
It's just that when I think of a rotten girl, [***] or something... Meng Zhe can't help but be messy in the wind.
It is also for this reason that Meng Zhe also plans not to run "Anime Girl" first, but to run an information comic magazine that mainly introduces the information of the animation industry at home and abroad, and then migrate the short stories originally published in "Anime Boy" to this magazine.
However, this kind of information magazine will have no room to live after the development of the Internet and the rapid popularization of computers.
But the advantage of doing it now is to be able to popularize the latest information and development of the foreign animation industry to domestic animation enthusiasts, and then cultivate more readers and loyal fans who are interested in animation.
Although Meng Zhe is concerned, because he is not short of money now and will not be short of money in the future by drawing comics, he prefers to start information animation magazines first. It doesn't matter if he loses money. But Tianjiao Club is not Meng Zhe alone. He must consider for Kong Lan... Therefore, after sending Xia Xing's big Loli away, Meng Zhe, who drew comics all afternoon, dialed the phone number left by Kong Lan at ten o'clock in the evening - during the day, Kong Lan had to accompany her father and brother in the hospital, only at night. I won't go home until ten o'clock.
The first phone didn't get through, so Meng Zhe waited patiently for half an hour before picking up the phone and dialing the phone number for the second time.
This time, the phone was finally dialed. Kong Lan's tired voice came from which end of the phone. Meng Zhe was very concerned and asked a few words about the injuries of Kong Lan's father and brother. After getting this reply, he told Kong Lan not to be too tired. It's good to hire someone to do those jobs that take care of people. Class.
For Meng Zhe's concern, Kong Lan just smiled happily on the other end of the phone, and then said, "I want to spend more time with Xiaozhang. He still can't accept that he can only live in a wheelchair in the future..."
In fact, when Meng Zhe called Kong Lan the next day after he came back, he was right to think about it - Kong Lan's younger brother Kong Zhang, which was a few months younger than being covered. He was originally a young man who could run all over the ground, but suddenly he was hit by a car and became a wheelchair for a lifetime. It was strange that he could accept it calmly!
"Xiao Zhe, has the plagiarism been solved like this?"
Before Meng Zhe opened his mouth to speak, Kong Lan asked about the affairs of Tianjiao Club again.
"It has been basically solved. The author of plagiarism said that he would reflect deeply, expressed his willingness to apologize to all readers on the animation teenager, and begged not to ban him. So I plan to open a multiple-choice question of whether to block or not in the reader survey next issue, and give the right of choice to the readers - so that no matter what the final result is, it can make other cartoonists realize the power of readers.
Meng Zhe replied like this. After saying that, he suddenly remembered another tidbit, so he quickly added: "The master reader who found plagiarism and the editor who sent him a bonus said that he was very satisfied with the attitude of our Tianjiao Society, so he volunteered to be the president of the Anti-Plagiarism Review Association and asked She came to our Tianjiao Club to be the preliminary editor of the manuscript. She said that she had watched the animation for more than ten years, and she could see whether she had plagiarized it at a glance... I thought it was feasible and agreed.
After listening to Meng Zhe's words, Kong Lan on the other end of the phone also expressed his approval: "Is there any plagiarism that can be seen at a glance? Oh, the tone is quite big. Let her do it first. The name is actually the best. If it doesn't live up to the name, it will be removed later. Let's buy a horse bone for the second time in our magazine.
"Yes, Sister Lan, there is another incident..."
After Kong Lan finished speaking, Meng Zhe said that too many manuscripts of "Anime Boy" were about to exceed the number of pages, so it was necessary to make a new magazine diversion and his two considerations.
Kong Lan, on the other end of the phone, meditated for a long time before finally expressing her opinion
