Chapter Eight Genius and Genius

Recently, "Dreamer" has been busy with revisions, and the entire editing room is not very stable.

In the 11th district, the more famous comic magazines are usually weekly, which has also caused many magazines in Huaxia to follow suit, wishing that all magazines were weekly.

In fact, the imitation of the business model has indeed achieved certain results. Among the "three major publications", two publications are weekly magazines.

Even in a second-tier city like Yunhai, the accumulation of "Weekly New World" is much better than that of "Monthly Dreamer".

Therefore, after the old president of "Dreamer" retired, the new president also made drastic changes to "Dreamer".

The first is to change the monthly magazine into a weekly magazine. In addition, it is to increase the number of magazine authors. To this end, they recruited two backbone cartoonists from "New World", and also recruited new-generation authors from other magazines.

Among these authors, Chen Zijiao was the one who caught the new president Luo Zhi's heart the most.

Luo Zhi is also a person who has read many books, and the books in District 11 and Huaxia are all involved. It can be said that Chen Zijiao's painter should be famous even in the 11th district's fandom.

In order to play this card well, he deliberately invited the talented writer Su Han to design the original work for Chen Zijiao.

After the revision of the magazine, this comic will also become the main work of "Weekly Dreamer".

As for Chen Zijiao's responsible editor, it naturally fell on Wang Wenhong.

In recent days, Wang Wenhong often has a smile on his face, but he does not get carried away by it. It is not easy to get ahead in this circle, and his goal is not only the editor of "Dreamer". The author of a best-selling manga, perhaps, he has the opportunity to get in touch with the three major publications... No, even a magazine that is slightly smaller than the three major publications is also within his consideration.

In order to achieve his goal, Wang Wenhong was able to make an author popular, and Chen Zijiao was the cartoonist he relied on.

The author of the script, Su Han, is only 20 years old this year. Her name sounds like a boy, but she is a real beauty.

At the age of 16, she made her debut with "Book of Seven Sins" and became a best-selling author.

After the publication of the last book in the "Book of Seven Sins" series, Su Han took a break to write a light-hearted and everyday script.

This script was obtained by Luo Zhi.

At first, others were not optimistic about the script.

Su Han is indeed the most powerful young writer in recent years, but the genre she is good at is reasoning, and she is still unknown in terms of daily and light-hearted novels.

After getting the script, all the editors gathered together, deliberated, and finally agreed that the script was of high quality.

Of course, there is still room for discussion if the script is to be changed into a full-length comic. This is why Wang Wenhong invited Su Han to ask for his opinion.

Wang Wenhong tightened his tie, and looked down at his watch. Su Han should be here.

The meeting place was a high-end western restaurant. Usually, Wang Wenhong would definitely not choose this place, but the president ordered that Su Han must be satisfied, and all the expenses would be borne by the magazine.

This gave Wang Wenhong a lot of confidence.

"By the way, Mr. Wang, what does this Su Da writer look like?" Chen Zijiao said with a playful smile.

"Her? Isn't there a picture of her on the Internet?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"The photos above may have been made up or photoshopped. Most of the so-called "beauty writers" are just gimmicks to attract foolish readers." Chen Zijiao shook his finger.

Is it you who regard others as fools?

The sales volume of a single volume of 1 million copies is enough to prove that Su Han is a genius-level best-selling author.

Wang Wenhong sighed, this is the so-called young and frivolous, right? anyway,

My own age... doesn't seem to be very old.

"Mr. Wang, do you think the writers of the University of Su will agree to our terms?" Chen Zijiao crossed his fingers and looked curious.

"We came here to negotiate. Although she doesn't know much about the comics industry, she may raise some difficult conditions, but we still have to try our best to meet them."

Chen Zijiao whistled helplessly, "If you can't draw too revealingly, it will be boring."

"Let's talk slowly, good things take time." Wang Wenhong sighed, hoping that Chen Zijiao would not say too much later, if Su Han was unhappy, both the president and him would feel pressure.

Just when Wang Wenhong was thinking wildly, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The bored Chen Zijiao immediately sat up straight, and Wang Wenhong also stood up from his seat and said softly, "Please come in".

The waiter pushed open the door, and the two girls walked into the single room.

The woman walking in front is taller, about 1.75 meters. Such a height is rare among girls.

In addition to her height, her appearance is also outstanding.

Her long hair is tied up with a blue bow and falls to the back of her head. Her bangs are just at the same level as her eyebrows. She has willow brows and phoenix eyes. Under the high bridge of her nose, there are cherry red lips. Her skin is fair, delicate and smooth, like gentle jade.

Unlike her beautiful appearance, her expression does not contain other emotions.

The woman behind her was wearing professional attire, and she seemed to be a manager or other staff.

The girl walking in front saw Wang Wenhong standing up, and nodded slightly, "Hello, both of you."

"Hello, Teacher Su." Wang Wenhong said quickly.

Chen Zijiao, who was sitting on the inside, frowned slightly, and looked around Su Han who was wearing a white one-piece dress with great interest.

Su Han glared at Chen Zijiao, but Chen Zijiao didn't feel uncomfortable, but he didn't expect that Su Han was more beautiful than the photos released by the media.

Seeing the little actions of the two of them, Wang Wenhong felt a little timid. He was afraid that Chen Zijiao would make Su Han unhappy, so he quickly diverted their attraction: "Let's serve the food first."

"Wait a minute..." Su Han interrupted Chen Zijiao, "I have other things to do, such as eating, I will skip it."

"Huh? You still want to meet other people?" Wang Wenhong asked in surprise.

"Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't deliberately run over from Hongchuan." Su Han said softly.

When Wang Wenhong heard the word "Hongchuan", he immediately fell silent.

Hongchuan's position in the entire Chinese comic industry is similar to Tokyo's position in the 11th district. A large number of comic magazines, games, and animation companies are located in Hongchuan. Among the "three major publications", "Weekly Comic Futura" and " The magazine office of Weekly Manga Fly is also in Hongchuan.

From the perspective of the ACG industry, Hongchuan's status is much higher than that of Yunhai.

"It turns out that Teacher Su is from Hongchuan." Wang Wenhong wiped off his sweat in embarrassment, then remained silent.

Of course he was very curious about Su Han's purpose in coming to Yunhai... But it must be a commercial secret, and he is not qualified to ask.

"For the adaptation, I only have one request - don't smear my name, the rest is optional." Su Han bowed slightly to Wang Wenhong and Chen Zijiao, "Farewell."

Chen Zijiao clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, as if his heart was being crushed.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing. How you want to change this manuscript is up to you. You don't need to tell me. My time is very precious. It is impossible to discuss these trivial matters with you. That's it." Su Han opened the door , suddenly turned around again.

"I have a question!" Chen Zijiao suddenly stood up from his seat in an irritable mood.

"Huh?" Su Han turned his head in confusion.

"Since you don't ask questions, can I set you as a character in the script... no, or even an original plot?" Chen Zijiao frowned, with a ferocious expression on his face.

"Yes." The corners of Su Han's lips curled up slightly, showing a smile, "I heard President Luo introduce you, and I know that you have drawn 18r books. Let's put it this way, if you dare to draw too much pictures, you... There are also magazines, but they have to pay a lot of money, which is written in the contract. By the way, I wish you good luck."

Seeing the manager brought by Su Han close the door, Chen Zijiao swung his fist and slammed it on the table.

Damn, I was underestimated...

Wang Wenhong also sweated secretly. He didn't know Chen Zijiao's mood, but he did feel the pressure.
