One hundred and fifty-eight: Comics and games come together
Meng asked Alice ga1game, and the answer he got was exactly what he expected.
"This ...... I've never heard of this kind of game......"
Alice frowned and thought for a while: "If you say so, maybe it's okay, the review standards for different categories of games are different, which means that there are many loopholes in them, and we can also perfunctory past any problems with this new type of game." β
This is the so-called edge ball, the policy stipulates that it can't, but it is okay to play while rubbing.
Meng Shu was very excited to hear this answer, it seems that God is still quite attached to him, at least "fate/stay, night" will not be miscarried.
This is originally a story produced by the game, but it is more appropriate to change back to the game, and Meng Huo has already got the initial information ready, he has sent more people in the past few days, and the setting is complete.
"Let's revise the update trailer for Weekly Shonen!"
Meng Shu said: "While it's not on sale, I'm going to change it now, I'm going to make "Fate/Stay, Night" into a game, not a comic." β
"Okay."
Alice nodded, she was a little disappointed, she didn't expect such an accident.
In fact, she wanted Meng Huo to modify Saber's background and continue to launch this comic, but Meng Huo wanted to make a game, so she chose to believe Meng Huo.
""Fate/Stay, Night" is no longer drawn, will there be a new comic next week?"
Alice asked again.
"Yes." Meng nodded his head: "I will prepare other comics, and there may be more than one." β
He decided to cut the comics in the magazine, which had too much influence on "Weekly Shonen" and "Weekly Girl". Although the quality has become better. But comic book readers who have been cut in half will certainly not be happy. Magazine sales will drop for a while.
In this mode, Meng Huo's solution is for him to launch comics, and his comics can bring hope to magazines, originally planned to put "Fate/Stay, Night" in shonen manga, and shoujo manga also to prepare a new one.
Now that I think about it, I have to think about both again.
Coupled with the games of "Fate/Stay, Night" and the company's affairs, Meng has a hunch that this week will definitely be his hardest week.
"That's good. I'm waiting for your new comics. Alice nodded, and then hurried to the publishing house to revise the update trailer for Weekly Shonen.
Eight o'clock in the evening, the conference hall on the second floor of the Phoenix Building
"What a pity for the teacher, it's better to be famous than to meet!"
A middle-aged man with glasses shook hands with Meng Huo, and then took out a business card: "My name is Wang Lei, the editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily!" β
"Hello."
Meng Shu smiled and accepted the business card.
He had come here after his separation from Alice to meet with the cartoonists, and reporters from several newspapers had been present, all of whom had been selected by Xu Jing and who had a good relationship with Phoenix and could be trusted.
The cartoonists are already seated in the hall. There are men and women, and the number is more than 6o.
The editors had already told them that the magazine was going to be cut in half. These cartoonists are noisy, with expressions ranging from nervous and worried to angry and desperate.
After everyone arrived, Meng Huo stepped to the front desk.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
The editors, who maintained order, quieted the cartoonists and turned their gaze to Meng Shu.
"It's a pleasure to meet you tonight."
Meng Shu didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "I think everyone knows the reason why I summoned you here tonight. Now that the company has put the decision on "Weekly Shonen" and "Weekly Girl" in my hands, the chairman wants me to improve their quality. β
"I've made a decision that 'Weekly Shonen' will cut ten articles in half next week, 'Weekly Girl' will have seven, and the rest will be slightly better than their comics after comparing them to the summer magazine."
When this paragraph came out, the reporters were excited, and they knew why they called themselves over, which was big news.
"Weekly Shonen" cut ten comics in half, what is this concept? The usual number of articles in this magazine is between 2o and 22, and it also includes short comics, and Meng Shu waved his hand, and half of them were gone.
"Weekly Girl" cut seven articles in half, but its original number was small, and the fate it faced was the same as that of "Weekly Boy".
"This teacher is really crazy......
Wang Lei thought about it, but he wrote it down.
"Teacher, you can't do that! In the past, even if the company was cut in half, it would tell us in advance about the time of the cut, but this time there was no warning, which was too unfair! β
There was a grumpy cartoonist who stood up.
"I know." Meng Shu nodded: "That's why I called you here and gave you an explanation." β
He looked around the conference hall and looked at every cartoonist.
"All of you here are seniors, I have been in Phoenix for eight months, but in these eight months, I have understood a lot of things, and I am full of admiration for you."
Meng Huo says:
"The cartoonists here are all cartoonists who insist on originality and are unwilling to adapt novels, and only by going through this road can I understand how difficult it is for you to persevere."
Most of Phoenix's cartoonists are cartoonists who are unwilling to succumb to novels and love originality, and they are rare in this era when novel adaptation is king.
However, this is not a reason to allow the quality to lag behind, Meng Huo opened his mouth to talk about the emergence of Zhongxia, the changes in the comic industry, and the difficulty of Phoenix Company, these things every cartoonist knows, and they are speechless.
"There is a revolution in the comics industry, and if you want to survive, the quality of magazines is a way that must be improved." Meng Shu said: "Cutting through the mess quickly is the best way to solve the problem, frankly...... Too many cheesy works limit the future of our company. β
"I don't want to drag oil bottles anymore."
Meng Huo's words are very straightforward, and they also speak of the pain in the hearts of many cartoonists.
Drag the oil bottle, even the reporters who bowed their heads to record felt uncomfortable, but no, now the support of Phoenix Company is completely dependent on Teacher He Xi. If there is no him. Perhaps the Phoenix company has long been ruined under the wave. In front of Mr. Ho Xi. Most of Phoenix's cartoonists are drag oil bottles.
ββ¦β¦β
The conference hall was silent, and no one refuted Meng Shu.
Meng Shu felt that his words might be too heavy.
"I'm not going to let you lose your job for no reason." He changed the topic and said, "After deciding on the serialized comics, I will compensate you for the loss of manuscript fees for a few weeks, and if you want, you can also come over and be my assistant." β
"I'll pay you the same as when you serialize, and your income won't change, in a month. It's up to you to decide whether to continue or not. β
A group of inhaling voices rang out from the conference hall.
"What a pity for the teacher's assistant!"
Before the cartoonists could react, the editors jumped first.
"What a pity, teacher, what you say is true!"
"Seriously." Meng Shu nodded and said with a smile: "I need an assistant this month, if you don't mind, come and help me, I will teach you something, and I hope you can get some growth in the process, if you can learn anything and draw more interesting comics, the doors of "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" will still be open for you again......"
Meng's purpose is to lighten the workload. One game, the minimum two comics, he cut seventeen in half. Seventeen cartoonists, I don't know if there are enough people......
These cartoonists are qualified in their drawing skills, and it is a waste of resources to serialize fun-free stories in magazines, and the benefits are definitely not as good as following Meng Huo's side. β
"Yes, I do!"
"I do, too!"
Some cartoonists who were originally depressed were excited, and even cartoonists who were not cut in half were also envious, and they were cut in half and got the opportunity to be a teacher's assistant, and their income did not decrease, and they did not lose at all.
"What a pity, teacher, youβAre you going to launch a new manga!?"
At this time, only Wang Lei noticed the difference, the hidden line in Meng Shu's words was that he was going to publish a new comic? If it's not a new comic, how could you need so many assistants?
There is no table for this issue of "Weekly Boys", and if the news is true, it will be the headline that the major newspapers are vying for.
"Yes, I'll be releasing a new comic next week." Meng Shu nodded and said with a smile: "There is another game ready to start, and it is estimated that it will be sold soon." β
"Game!?"
The others looked at each other, it's a pity that the pace is too fast!
Phoenix entered the animation industry and then the game industry, and that was too violent! Aren't you afraid of losing your life? The journalists' thoughts were intertwined, but no matter how they thought about it, they were a little excited, first cutting 17 comics, then Bu Xin, and finally making a game.
As soon as these news came out, it didn't have to make the fans who regretted it happy to death!
"Definitely make headlines!"
After the meeting, reporters scrambled to interview Meng Huo, who did not refuse all of them this time, but accepted exclusive interviews with several companies.
He didn't reveal much, but it was exciting enough.
The next day, Ninghai's large and small newspapers were once again occupied by the news of Phoenix Company, and countless people heard about it, especially the news of entering the game industry, which was spread loudly, and some game manufacturers came out to scold angrily.
Everyone thought it was crazy, and only a few senior executives of Phoenix Company knew that Meng Huo entered the game industry, and the cost was only about 1oo.
This cost is not a burden on the Phoenix Company at all, but the sensational effect caused is very great, Xu Jing saw Meng Shu's face printed on the newspaper for several days, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"This kid is really my lucky star."
Meng Huo's shot was so earth-shattering, attracting everyone's attention.
"Devil Manga Artist ......"
Xu Jing thought of that code name, and he couldn't stop laughing, although he didn't know who said this code name that was circulating in the ears of him and the high-level of Zhongxia, but it was too appropriate!
Devil cartoonist, this is someone else's devil, a devil full of charm.
Now,It's a pity that I didn't spend a penny of advertising money.,Even the new work hasn't been launched before it has passed the midsummer comics from public opinion.,As soon as the comics come out next week,Other people can't be crazy!
What kind of manga is it?
Xu Jing began to look forward to it...... (To be continued!)
