Chapter 342: New Magazine
Li Qin went home soon after, she was surprised and happy to see Shen Jie at home, and then snatched Meng Huo's dominance.
Shen Jie spent the last few days in a conversation with Li Qin, Li Qin seemed to be very reluctant to let her go, originally Shen Jie was going to leave at noon on the ninth day of the new year, but Li Qin insisted on leaving her at home for dinner, and then called the driver to send Shen Jie back to school.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the mother and son bid farewell to Shen Jie at the door.
"No matter how intense the study is in the third year of high school, I must come over when I have time." Li Qin helped Shen Jie tie her scarf like her own daughter, and said with a doting face: "Don't study too hard, just call your aunt when you want to come, and your aunt will prepare some delicious food for you, just to replenish your body...... You've lost some weight lately. ā
"Thank you, Auntie."
Shen Jie's eyes were slightly red and said that her relationship with Li Qin had always been very good, but when Meng Shu was not at home, the relationship between the two took a step further. Meng Shu didn't know what they had given birth to, but in the past two days, he and Li Qin and Shen Jie had gotten along more closely than himself, which even made him feel a little unhappy......
"Madam, young master, I'll take Miss Shen Jie to leave first......"
When the driver said goodbye to the mother and son, Meng Shu walked out: "I'll give her a ride together,"
His words surprised the other three, Li Qin stared at his son with a stunned face, he would take the initiative to send Shen Jie back to school, why did he suddenly change sex today?
"Elm's head is open?"
This thought flashed through his heart, but Li Qinle saw it. With a smile on his face, he watched Meng Shu get into the car, and Shen Jie in the car was also very surprised. His eyes were shining, but unfortunately Meng Shu was as cold as usual after getting into the car. Just a word.
"I'm bored at home, I'm just going out for a walk......"
Shen Jie was a little disappointed, but no matter what, it was a good thing that Meng Huo was willing to accompany her more, which made her very happy all the way.
The car drove to Ninghai No. 1 Middle School, Shen Jie got out of the car and took her luggage, then said goodbye to Meng Huo, and walked away lightly.
"Young Master. What's next? ā
The driver asked.
"Just walk around and I'll see if there's anything to do."
Meng replied that he sat in the car and watched the night in Ninghai, but in the end he didn't find anything to do, so he went straight home.
When he got home, Li Qin prepared a glass of hot milk for him with a smile.
"Why did you take the initiative to send Shen Jie today?" She said, "What happened in the last few days? ā
"Nothing happened."
Meng Shu drank milk and replied, "Mom." Do you like Shen Jie very much? ā
"She's a good boy." Li Qin smiled: "Smart, obedient, and pragmatic, she will be a good wife, I think you can seriously consider it." ā
Her son is an adult, and Li Qin is not afraid to talk about these topics now, and when she turns eighteen, she feels that it is time for Meng Shu to find a girlfriend.
"I see...... Mother. I went to take a shower first. ā
Meng Shu drank the milk, said a word and turned around and walked to the bath~ room. Li Qin likes Shen Jie, and the two get along really closely, which makes Meng Shu a little shaken - although Li Qin gave him freedom, Meng Shu will definitely not find a woman who does not get along well with his mother-in-law. In this respect, Shen Jie is very suitable.
Meng Huo didn't have a lot of time to spend with Li Qin. So he hoped to marry a woman from home. And he doesn't hate Shen Jie, as time goes by, he can't hate this girl more and more, and even the coldness at the beginning is difficult to last.
If you choose Shen Jie, you may be able to cut off Alice's thoughts.
"Let's wait until she graduates and see how it goes......"
Meng Shu was lying in the bathtub thinking so, the past events still had a certain impact on him, and after self-exoneration during the trip, Meng Shu had a thought - maybe he could settle down if he got married early, got married, had children, and stabilized his family and parents, and in the future, he could not think about these things and paint with peace of mind.
However, although reason thinks so, but in two lives, Meng Huo is still strange to marriage, and he also has a trace of resistance. The more he thought about the emotional and family problems, the more troublesome he became, he sighed and decided not to think about it for the time being, Meng Shu put a towel on his head, and returned his mind to the comics again.
The next day, he called Alice to come over and pick it up. But the female editor was still reluctant to meet with Li Qin, and although Meng repeatedly said that it didn't matter, she did not agree.
In desperation, Meng Shu went out with the manuscript and met Alice in a quiet coffee shop.
"When did you become so timid?"
As soon as they met, he said with some unhappiness.
"It's not cowardice, it's guilt." Alice smiled bitterly, looked at the original manuscript in Meng Shu's hand, and asked, "Are those original manuscripts?" So thick!? ā
The original manuscript in Meng Shu's hand is indeed very thick, and he finished painting the plot from the beginning of the story of "Burning Eye Xana" to the defeat of the Red World Fallagni, which is the first major event of the original work, originally Meng Huo wanted to finish the plot of the first season of the original animation in one go, but there were too many words, so he had to give up.
"'Burning-Eyed Xana'?"
After taking the comic from Meng Shu's hand, after seeing the title, Alice Yong~ had the same thought as Shen Jie: "This is a girl's comic?" ā
Judging from the name, "Burning Eye Xana" does not have a shadow of a shonen manga, but its content is really a shonen manga. Meng Xu briefly introduced the general information of the comics, and then let Alice read it by herself, he ordered coffee next to him, and waited quietly for Alice to finish reading.
Soon, Alice watched it with shock.
"This comic is very interesting, Meng Huo, you are so genius!" She said excitedly: "The setting of the power of saving zĆ i is very good, and the protagonist setting is still a person who has been eaten and stored zĆ i - interesting and exciting!" ā
The power of saving zĆ i, this is the key setting in "Burning Eye Xana", it is the energy that maintains the existence of all things in the world, and it is also the fundamental energy necessary for the "Disciples of the Red World" to manifest and move, in order to survive in this world and exert their abilities, the "Disciples of the Red World" attack humans. Devour the human beings who have the power of the zĆ i, so as to obtain the "power of the zĆ i".
The beginning of "Shana the Burning Eye". It tells the story of the protagonist being devoured, and then following a young girl to rebel against these red worlds. After all, she is a professional, and Alice sees the charm of the setting in the story at a glance. The plot of this manga is also very good, the setting is cruel, but the plot has the style of campus love, and it is also full of fun to read.
"Isn't this a short story, though?" Alice frowned and said, "You told a story with a few words of plot. Although the story ends, the manga should not end, right? ā
"No, your dad didn't tell you?" Meng Shu was a little surprised that Xu Jing didn't tell Alice about these things, but it was not too late for him to explain now: "'Burning Eye Xana' is not a long story, nor is it a short story, I plan to release a story every month." The first finale will take place in a few months. ā
He took a sip of coffee and said, "But this is only the ending of the first part, and I will start the second part of the serialization after a year and a half."
"The pattern is very strange...... "Alice understood, she was a little surprised, Meng Huo's update mode is very peculiar in the current comic industry: "But forget it." As long as you have faith...... That's fine. ā
After thinking about it, Alice still didn't ask too much for the update mode, and she had a lot of confidence in Meng Xu. Although it is a monthly magazine, wasn't "One Piece" also pushed out in the form of a monthly magazine in the first place? The fact that a monthly magazine can deliver a few words directly to the reader at the beginning of the month actually seems to be very enjoyable......
"But Meng Huo. If it's a monthly magazine, then don't you have to reopen the "Pity" comic? ā
Alice asked. In addition to the "Pity" comic, Phoenix Company has no more suitable platform for Meng Shu to publish monthly.
"It's been a while since 'Pity' stopped, it's time to take it out......"
Meng Shu nodded, he stopped his comic line last year, and now he just took it out for the serialization of "Burning Eyes Xana".
"That's right, Meng Shu, you choose some comics from "Weekly Boy" and put them on the "Pity" comics." Alice's eyes lit up and she said, "If you can't read other people's comics, you can also transfer your own work to "Regret" comics and change them to monthly serialization, which can also reduce your work pressure." ā
Meng Shu was stunned, this time he was surprised, and he was quite surprised.
Alice would actually build yƬ He evacuated the comics to the "Pity" comic series, which is incredible, his comics are all popular serialized comics, if he is evacuated from the weekly to the monthly magazine, then the biggest loss is the Phoenix company.
"Why?"
He asked.
"Because the company is very troublesome now...... Alice put the original manuscript and said with a wry smile: "I sorted out the company's articles during the New Year, and now there are too many new cartoonists added last year, we only have two comic magazines, no matter which one can't accommodate so many people, it's almost unbearable......"
Phoenix has grown quite rapidly in the past year, but their magazines only have two magazines, "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl", and Meng Shu occupies several positions in these two magazines, and the competition for the remaining serial spots is extremely fierce.
Especially after Meng Huo defeated Mantiana in the Far East, cartoonists from the Far East joined in, and Phoenix Company was even more overwhelmed.
"The buying crowd of "Weekly Boy" has stabilized, and Meng Shu doesn't need to put all your works on it, so "Pity" is restarted...... You can pick out a few of them and put them in the monthly magazine "Pity", and give more space to rookie cartoonists...... Nowadays, there are many young people who have reached the standard of serialization, but they can't be serialized because they don't have a place, and for a long time, our company's cartoonists have to skip away. ā
Alice persuaded.
Meng Shu fully understood the situation, and couldn't help but smile: "Your method doesn't solve the problem at all, there is a simpler way, since the serial position is not enough, then add two more weekly magazines on the existing basis, so that the number of cartoonists that can be accommodated will be more." ā
"I've thought about this too, but it's too difficult for New Weekly to re-open the market......
"What's so difficult, separating the manga of popular manga artists is like letting my One Piece continue to be serialized in Weekly Shonen and Detective Conan in a new magazine, then the readers will gradually divide and after a while, the new magazine will be able to rise."
Meng Shu said.
Alice was dumbfounded, this is indeed a solution, but this method is very risky, dividing the comics will make many original readers have opinions, and it will also give Phoenix a lot of losses. Phoenix Company is now going to relocate Suhua, which is already sensitive, and if this kind of thing is done again, it will be even more dangerous......
"If you want to do it, you can do it simply, and expanding the magazine is the first priority of the company exhibition." Meng Shu saw through Alice's mind and said, "Now that I'm presiding, let's make a big move, don't worry, it'll be fine...... When I go to work, I plan to make a new animation...... There are a lot of things going on in the first half of this year, so you have to be mentally prepared......"
Make a new animation? Alice was even more surprised, she glanced at the original manuscript and said in her heart that it was no wonder that Meng Shu wanted to launch "Shana with Burning Eyes" in this form, it turned out that he had no intention of giving up the idea of making an animation.
"I forgot that he was a workaholic......"
Alice sighed, but seeing Meng Xu's steady expression, she felt that this was not bad.
"Okay, let's give the company a reform!" She stood up and said, "I'll go back and prepare the plan first, and ......."
Alice shook the "Burning Eye Xana" in her hand: "The trailer of this new comic, Meng Huo, you remember to read." ā
