Li Xi today looks the same as usual, with company-style tops, skirts, and black stockings.
The whole person looks beautiful and beautiful, but the expression is a bit cold, and there is a feeling that no one is close.
"Editor Li, the editor-in-chief asked you to come to his office!"
"I see!" Li Xi nodded.
Li Xi, who jumped over his office, walked directly to the office of editor-in-chief Deng He.
After knocking on the door three times, she walked in after receiving Deng He's signal.
Deng He motioned to Li Xi to sit down, and after pouring her a cup of tea, it stopped selling.
"You must already know the results of Initial D!"
"Well, I know, to be honest, the fifth place is beyond my expectation..."
Li Xi mentioned the results of Initial D. , His cold expression melted slightly, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes.
"It's more than beyond your imagination, even I didn't expect it..." Deng He also smiled on his wrinkled face.
"Originally, in my imagination, the initial results of Initial D should be the same as Extreme Boy, but as the serialization time of the two works gets longer, Initial D will eventually widen the gap with Extreme Boy."
"But I What I didn't expect was...just the serialization of the first issue opened the gap between the two works."
"It seems that I am really going to be old, and the market outlook has regressed. If not, I really didn't know that racing comics had such a market in the Dragon Congress!" Deng He shook his head and said.
"But I have to say that the manga drawn by the young man Shui Xin is really wonderful. If it weren't for my age so old that I couldn't drive a car, I would also like to drive to the hills near the magic city."
"Editor-in-chief, you laughed! Please don't raise up such dangerous behavior even if it is an idea! Otherwise, an accident will cause great trouble to the company and us!" Li Xi said.
An awkward expression appeared on Deng He's face.
Li Xi has come to Xuangui for so many years, to have the current achievements not only has her own ability, but also Deng He's support.
Otherwise, Li Xi suggested that Tang Xin's work, who was 14 years old, should be serialized on the edge of the water. Who would dare to take this risk without his approval?
But Li Xi's way of speaking with no sense of humor sometimes really made him quite depressed, so he made a joke. Li Xi really took it seriously, but fortunately, Deng He didn't pay attention to these details, so he just said the business. Up.
"Okay, let's not gossip, you know, after the end of Crimson Abyss, there will be no real top comics in our serialized works on the Edge of the Water. Of course, many comic companies will encounter this situation. We Xuangui have experienced this situation many times in the past so many years..."
"From past experience, generally, the sales of periodicals will decline significantly during this period. In order to reduce these negative effects, we used to It's all about launching a top-notch manga as soon as possible...."
"However, such manga works are not always available. Although Tang Xin's dream world is popular, it is still a bit worse. The lower part of the work may reach this level, but it is still early." Deng He said solemnly.
"So in this case, launching a few lower-level manga works can achieve the same effect." "Initial D and Xtreme Boys are the works that are fancy... Originally, I personally The opinion is that the initial D is more optimistic, but the old guys in the company think that maybe my vision is wrong, thinking that Zong Lei is an old cartoonist after all, maybe the results after the serialization of the work will be better than the initial D." "But these two works. After the results of the first phase of the work came out, the guys had nothing to say. Therefore, the focus of our work for Xuangui for the next period of time is to put a considerable part of the work publicity resources on the initial D in the country. I hope this The work can finally reach the influence of Dream World and Dragon Soul." Deng He said slowly. In addition to its own strength, a comic work wants to become popular. It has a lot to do with the company's publicity and operation. However, the resources are limited, so Xuangui will naturally put these resources on more promising works. .
Li Xi understands that it is obvious that if no other works can show the influence beyond the initial D in the future, then this work will be bombarded by the propaganda of Xuangui in the Quan Long Kingdom, which will attract many comics. The reader knows this work.
Basically, Tang Xin experienced this treatment two years ago, so Tang Xin has now entered the ranks of the top cartoonists in the magic city. Although she barely achieved this status in terms of her popularity and influence, but Tang Xin's advantage is that he is young and there are unlimited possibilities when he is young, and Chu Yu also has such advantages.
"Anyway, the company's decision is like this. It's fine to come to you, just to tell you the direction of the company's development in the future, and... to fulfill your responsibilities as a comic editor, if there is nothing necessary , Shui Xin should not stop the serialization during this period!" Deng He said solemnly.
"I see!" Li Xi nodded.
After talking with Deng He again, Li Xi left Deng He's office.
Deng He, who was alone in the office, tapped his fingers on the desk, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He remembered what Li Xi said at the serial meeting where Li Xi proposed to serialize Natsume's Friends Account.
Shui Xin was only one chance short, and with one chance, he would show the potential of not losing Tang Xin.
Now it seems that it is so, let alone Tang Xin, and even Deng He faintly feels that if the follow-up story of the initial D can be more exciting, then maybe this young man named Chu Yu can rely It is also very hopeful that this manga Fengshen, surpassing Tang Xin, leap into the ranks of the top cartoonists in the city.
....
In addition to dealing with various things in the company, the job of a comic editor is to remind manga artists or discuss comic plots with them.
So after handling some trivial matters of the company, Li Xi once again came to the high-end community where Tang Xin lived one day later to investigate Tang Xin's cartoon drawing.
Taking out the key to Tang Xin's house, Li Xi quickly opened the door...
Inside the house, . As expected, several of Tang Xin's female comic assistants were serious about drawing comics, while the author of Tang Xin's work turned on his computer and put on headphones, and played games there.
Li Xi's complexion suddenly became ill.
Walking to Tang Xin's side, knocked on the table.
Tang Xin was wearing headphones and focused very much on the racing game in front of him. He only glanced at the color of Li Xi's clothes, thinking that Li Xi was one of her assistant Fan Qian.
"Sister Qian, can you help me get a packet of potato chips and a can of Coke?" Tang Xin said coquettishly in a poor voice.
Soon, potato chips and Coke arrived on her table.
But at the same time, a voice that made her familiar and afraid sounded.
"Is this game fun?"
" Does potato chips and cola go well with playing games?"
"But what I want to ask is...Where did you draw your manga?"
Tang Xin He looked up and saw Li Xi, his expression froze first, and then immediately shut the computer screen and host at a thunderous speed.
"Li Xi, why are you here?" Tang Xin said with a nervous expression, looking around, not daring to look directly at Li Xi.
