Chapter 567 Editor and Author
In terms of the addition of animation to comics, "Smelting Steel" is definitely one of the best comics.
On Earth, the first edition of "Smelting Steel" is usually more than 100,000. After the animation was released, the first edition rose to more than 1 million, a 10-fold increase.
Of course, on the one hand, the quality of "Steel Refining 03 Edition" is indeed very high, and it is one of the few animations with high-quality original plots that do not collapse. On the other hand, it is also because the comics themselves have excellent quality.
This time, the addition of animation to "Smelting Steel" will definitely not be so exaggerated, because Shen Xin has already attracted the attention of readers with her original popularity. But even so, the release of the animation should still attract new readers.
Wang Wenhong is also busy contacting the design office to discuss the design of the cover page.
The first edition of volume 14 is 1.5 million copies, which is a lot of pressure for any comic in China.
For this reason, Wang Wenhong didn't fall asleep for several days.
On the day when the cover was designed, he rushed to the design room immediately, got the designed cover, and hurried back to the magazine office.
Entering the elevator, just as the door was about to close, Xu Jie, who was running all the way, rushed in.
"Be careful." Wang Wenhong was taken aback.
"I also thought, isn't it because the elevator doors are about to close?" Xu Jie stood up, took two breaths, and wiped the sweat from his face, but his face was flushed red.
Wang Wenhong glanced at Xu Jie's left hand, holding a document bag, and suddenly remembered that Luo Zheng seemed to be suspending the publication, so he subconsciously said: "The original manuscript of "The King of Rock and Roll."
"No, it's another drawing." Xu Jie sighed.
"It's just a two-week hiatus, so why sigh?"
"The plot of "The King of Rock and Roll"...is no longer as vigorous as before. Mr. Luo now only thinks about being steady. Yes, Wen can indeed have a good grade, but he didn't rely on "steadiness" to get the grade. Book number one."
Wang Wenhong grinned after hearing Xu Jie's words.
At that time, he and Shen Xin also discussed this issue when they communicated in private.
Shen Xin's answer was straightforward, either Nirvana, or just like that.
"It still depends on his own adjustments. Besides, with the support of the editorial department, what is he afraid of?" Wang Wenhong asked puzzled.
"The problem is that the editorial department didn't support it!" Xu Jie sighed, "Although he didn't say it clearly, it's not difficult to hear from Teacher Luo's tone that he has some reticence."
"No, old Xu, if the author said so, then forget it. As an editor, don't you know what was going on in the editorial department at that time?" Wang Wenhong retorted.
"That's what he said."
"Then you say that, don't you agree with what he said? Does he know that the magazine's phone was blown up? TV stations, radio stations, and news websites wanted to report this matter, but Mr. Shang suppressed it abruptly. Does he know? Mr. Shang directly scolded the other column team on the phone, did he know? In order to avoid pressure, he forcibly changed the manuscript and redrawn it overnight. What did the editorial department say? Did the editorial department ask him to change it? "
The elevator door opened, Wang Wenhong walked out of the elevator, glanced at Xu Jie who was in a daze in the elevator, "Let's go, help him adjust his mood. Also, it's okay to think about the author, but you have to be clear about what he wants. Everything is different. It's been so long, instead of complaining, it's better to think about what to do.
"In "Soul of Chess", Zuo Wei disappeared, and the ranking of the small book of "Soul of Chess" went directly from the first place,
It slipped out of the top 10 and missed the "Best Novel" of that year; the "Beidou Cup" was even more suppressed by Han Guoqi Academy. If it wasn't for the funding from Zhenyu Technology, the "Beidou Cup" would have no chance to be made into an animation. Was there a lot of pressure at that time? Not to mention the editorial department, the top management of Yishu Culture almost failed. In the end, didn't Teacher Shen come over?
"At this time, we have to figure out a solution with the cartoonists instead of complaining with them."
Xu Jie stepped out of the elevator, and when he heard Wang Wenhong's words, he was a little bit upbeat, and there was an element of anger in his tone, "That's because you are lucky, Mr. Shen has never made a fuss. If the author of the sign makes a fuss, it doesn't make sense at all. Said It’s useless if you say it lightly, but if you say it too hard, you’re afraid he’ll get hurt.”
"Didn't Mr. Shen make trouble? How did he leave "New World"? You won't forget, right? But Mr. Shen was only 19 years old at that time. After so much, he is mature now."
While speaking, Wang Wenhong walked into the editorial department.
Xu Jie shook his head and followed him in.
Wang Wenhong took the file bag and found Shang Haozhi, "Mr. Shang, this is the cover of the latest volume."
Shang Haozhi was pressing his temples with both hands, feeling a little distressed.
After the animation of "Steel Refining" was shown, many manufacturers wanted the right to use the characters of "Steel Refining", and some companies have cooperated with "ic future" for many years. But at present, the character image must not be released, otherwise it will be a real loss until next year.
It's fine if there are one or two companies. The current situation is that the company asks every day, and he can't refuse too clearly, and he has to deal with each other every day.
It's not a big deal, but it's annoying after too much.
"Well, let it go?" Shang Haozhi nodded.
After Wang Wenhong put down the cover, he turned and returned to his seat. He had just turned on the computer when he suddenly heard Yan Fei's landline ring.
He turned his head, but saw Yan Fei nodded and said yes twice, then he stood up and walked towards the door, not long after, he led a middle-aged man over.
"Teacher Zuo?" Xu Jie called out suddenly.
Seeing Xu Jie, Zuo Yuan was also a little embarrassed, so he smiled and bowed slightly.
"Old Wang, I can help you with two cups of tea." Yan Fei said to Wang Wenhong.
Why should I pour it?
Wang Wenhong frowned, and was just about to refute, when he suddenly remembered that not long ago, Yan Fei had said that Zuo Yuan would participate in the Lunar New Year Cup, so he immediately became interested, got up and made two cups of tea in paper cups, and served them to the two of them .
Zuo Yuan leaned slightly, and took the paper cup from Wang Wenhong.
Wang Wenhong smiled at Zuo Yuan and nodded, walked around behind Yan Fei, and read the name once as Yan Fei turned the page.
The comics still tell the stories of middle school students, but they are biased towards the daily life, and promote the progress of the story through small daily things.
Wang Wenhong has read too many Wang Dao comics, and he is quite interested in such a daily comic.
It's like eating big fish and meat, and occasionally want to change your appetite.
Therefore, no matter what others think of this comic, Wang Wenhong read it with gusto, and Zuo Yuan is very serious about painting, even the name, the pencil line is still very clear, and it looks very comfortable.
Wang Wenhong's gaze, following Yan Fei's page turning, swept across name left and right.
After reading the last page, before he had time to recall it, Yan Fei browsed it again.
Zuo Yuan stared at the tea leaves in the teacup, feeling a little nervous and looking forward to Yan Fei's answer.
After turning over the second time, Yan Fei looked at the tense Zuo Yuan.
"There is progress, but it's still not good enough." Yan Fei took a deep breath and replied.
