Chapter 143 Lonely as snow

On the third day when Meng Zhe learned that Datang Group and Tang Gexuan had joined Yanjing Cartoon, an editor of Tianjiao Society's Anime Youth magazine and two editors of Anime Time magazine submitted a resignation letter at the same time.

He left with these three editors, and there was also a middle-level cadre of Tianjiao Society... The editor Zhao, who was in charge of outreach work.

And after two serials were cut in half at the same time, they have not been able to draw the cartoonists who have passed the serialization meeting to review the new serials - Zheng Xusheng and Guangdong Eleven Tigers. As for how many serial cartoonists of the short stories have been pulled away, Meng Zhe is not clear for the time being, but it is conservatively estimated that the authors of the short stories who are related to the two editors of Anime Time should not be safe.

To be honest, although Xiao Zhao's editor went beyond Meng Zhe's expectations, Meng Zhe was really not very painful, because none of the popular serial cartoonists had been bribed.

There is no doubt that it is North Carolina under the control of Tang Gexuan who took away these editors and cartoonists.

This is not Meng Zhe's guess, because Zheng Xusheng, who found Meng Zhe and said that he was going to leave, revealed something in a very shameful tone: "Little Meng BOSS, North Carolina said that he was willing to give me a price of 200 yuan per manuscript..."

before Zheng Xusheng finished speaking, he had already rushed to Meng Zhe, who was as tall as Zheng Xusheng, so he reached out and patted Zheng Xusheng on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter. I can understand."

Meng Zhe can really understand, because Zheng Xusheng's life in Tianjiao Club was a little unsatisfactory. At the earliest, the comic story he drew was very weak, and it was easy to find the original work that was willing to provide him with the story. Because of the remuneration problem, the serial comic "Robots Don't Cry" was cut in half, and then it was really a little It's not good.

It's not that Meng Zhe has not helped Zheng Xusheng contact other original authors, but he always draws things because of such and such things, which can't pass the serialization meeting of "Anime Boy".

Withless serial income, Zheng Xusheng can only publish one or two short comics in "Anime Time" at intervals, go to Jiji Animation Studio to draw intermediate paintings, and maintain his life in Tianjiao Club!

This kind of life can't be compared with Zheng Xusheng, who went to Tianjiao Society and Chen Xiang at the same time, and even Ke Rui and others who joined the ranks of Tianjiao Society serialized cartoonists later.

When I first arrived at Tianjiao Club, even if I had to practice painting for a long time every day, even if the manuscript was killed by Meng Zhe again and again, Zheng Xusheng could still maintain an optimistic attitude. But it doesn't work now. After having serialization experience, Zheng Xusheng's mentality has quietly changed. In addition, looking up and looking down at other serial cartoonists making a lot of money, he really feels a lot of pressure. Sometimes he even wants to commit suicide pessimistically and desperately... At this time, someone suddenly wants to open two The price of 100 yuan per manuscript makes Zheng Xusheng, who is under great psychological pressure, go to the serialization of Yanjing Cartoon. How can Zheng Xusheng not be tempted?

But after all, after staying in Tianjiao Club for so long, Zheng Xusheng still has some affection for Tianjiao Club - without the solicitation of "Anime Boy", I, Zheng Xusheng, would probably never have embarked on the road of a cartoonist! If it hadn't been for Meng Zhe's unreserved professor in comic skills and other aspects in the past two years, I, Zheng Xusheng, would never be so different from two years ago!

Therefore, Zheng Xusheng looked very guilty when he found Meng Zhe and said that he wanted to leave Tianjiao Club to go to Yanjing Cartoon.

But if you can continue to stay in Tianjiao Club, Zheng Xusheng feels that he has no chance to come out at all - yes, he has been drawing persistently for more than two years, but the cartoons drawn are already different from two years ago, but others are also making progressing!

Now Tianjiao Club has gathered almost all the most talented cartoonists in China, and there are constantly talented newcomers. By publishing short comics on Anime Time, it slowly moves towards the ranks of serial cartoonists!

Such a cruel competitive environment makes Zheng Xusheng unable to see the hope of getting serialization again. He... can't hold on.

Originally, Zheng Xusheng thought that when he said goodbye to Meng Zhe, Meng Zhe would scold him for being ungrateful even if he was not angry, but Meng Zhe said, "It doesn't matter, I can understand."

So Meng Zhe's words almost made Zheng Xusheng shed tears. If he could get the opportunity to serialize on "Anime Boy", even if it was only 50 yuan for each manuscript, he would never leave "Yanjing Cartoon"!

"It really doesn't matter." Meng Zhe patted Zheng Xusheng on the shoulder again, and then continued to say, "Da Zheng, your weakness is still a story. If there is a bottleneck when you go to North Carolina to design the storyline, you're welcome - just call me!"

Looking at Meng Zhe's sincere eyes, Zheng Xusheng suddenly turned his head to the side, and then rubbed his red eyes with his right hand.

"Hmm!"

Zheng Xusheng turned back again. His eyes were as red as a rabbit. He nodded heavily.

And Meng Zhe smiled, and he said again, "Come on, Da Zheng! In the future, I will read North Carolina comics. If you guys who have passed from our Tianjiao Society dare to draw something promiscuous for the contribution fee, I will never be polite to you!"

Meng Zhe really thinks so. Although he is very unhappy with Tang Gexuan, the new president of North Carolina, if North Carolina can grow into a competitor of Tianjiao Society, Meng Zhe will be very willing to be optimistic about its success - there is competition, right?

If it has always been the dominant family of Tianjiao Club, Meng Zhe feels that he will lose the motivation to continue painting one day.

... After personally sending away Zheng Xusheng and others, Meng Zhe immediately summoned some unstable editors and serial cartoonists in Tianjiao Society to hold an internal meeting.

"I know that everyone has been talking about the fact that North Kara has left our Tianjiao community these two days. I think this kind of thing should be the plot of the novel rather than reality, so I will feel a little uncomfortable because of the departure of those people... right?"

At this point, Meng Zhe looked around at the people sitting in the conference room, but no one answered this question.

So Meng Zhe smiled and continued with a smile, "I'm different from everyone, because I feel very excited and very excited now!"

Meng Zhe's words made everyone, including the two big loli of the Jiang family, show puzzled expressions one after another - excited? Just kidding, so many people have been poached. As the boss, you should be very angry, right?!

"Do you still remember "The King of Painting"?"

Meng Zhe, who calmly faced everyone's sight, asked such a question again. This time, someone among the crowd finally cooperated and answered 'remember'. The first answer was Yan Kai, because the "Snow Coconut" he painted was once the pillar of the painting king's Chinese comics... "Since you still remember the painting king, I think everyone should also know that before the start of the 5155 project, the painting king was our biggest opponent of animation teenagers! No, to be precise, the painting king used to be the target that our animation youth magazine needed to catch up with, because when the single issue of the painting king's sales reached 800,000 copies, our animation youth single issue sales were only half of that of the painting king.

After a pause, Meng Zhe continued: "But at that time, every time the animation teenager and the painting king gradually drew closer to the single-phase sales data, I was particularly excited! Unfortunately, I didn't wait until I enjoyed the excitement that the sales volume of a single issue exceeded that of the painting king. The painting king was ordered to suspend publication for suspected piracy of Japanese comics! Maybe you don't know that after the suspension of the painting king, I... never paid attention to the single sales data of the animation teenager again.

At this point, Meng Zhe looked around at the crowd again, and then shook his head gently: "Why? Because the invincible life is as lonely as snow.

Meng Zhe's words of loneliness like snow made Jiang Xiyao, who was sitting next to Jiang Weiyu, her eyes suddenly became bright - ah-woo! So handsome! Meng Jiji is so handsome now!

Unfortunately, Meng Zhe didn't notice his sister-in-law's expression. After taking a deep breath, he continued, "But now, I finally have the desire to pay attention to the sales data. Of course, what I want to see this time is that our various sales data have completely overwhelmed them... Everyone answers me, do you have confidence?! Do you have the confidence to use data to prove that we are the best comic magazine and cartoonist in China?!!"

When talking about two questions, Meng Zhe raised his voice to the highest.

"Fak - Yes! This must be there!" Zhang Cheng was the first to react and continued, "Sure enough, it's more interesting to have a competitor!!!"

"Yes, yes! Of course I'm confident!" Jiang Xiyao's little fist was clenched, and her little face was flushed.

Although Meng Zhe was not entrusted, driven by these two free of dry food, other people's emotions were quickly encouraged - sure enough, this matter is really the same as what Xiao Meng Boss said. It's not a bad thing to have an opponent.

I heard that the Datang Group smashed five million in North Carolina. How happy would it be if our Tianjiao Club could continue to trample them under their feet?

In this way, Tianjiao Society, which was originally unstable, changed its mind under the leadership of Meng Zhe and showed an atmosphere of the same hatred.

And Meng Zhe took out a few new reward terms after contacting Kong Lan by phone at the right time - these involve the reward terms of both the cartoonist and the editor, which made the atmosphere in the venue more enthusiastic.

By the time the meeting was over, Meng Zhe had successfully achieved his original goal.

When sending the two big Loli of the Jiang family home, Meng Zhe, who was in a good mood, secretly pinched Jiang Xiyao's still red cheeks, and then he was chased by his sister-in-law... "The soul is faint! Meng Jiji, you have a big soul! Every time I pinch other people's faces, I hate you the most!"

Jiang Xiyao, who pouted, couldn't catch up with Meng Zhe when she chased her door, so the girl gasped and stared at Meng Zhe fiercely. Meng Zhe's cute appearance made Meng Zhe stretch out her claws again... "Ah--! Disgusting! Pinch other people's faces again!!!"
