Chapter 52: opportunities only come to mentally ill patients who are prepared
"All editors! Come to a meeting!"
Yang Dahai walked out of his office and shouted with a straight face.
Ayumi Ito, Xu Zhexuan, and the veteran editors looked at each other, but still dropped the work in question and followed Yang Dahai into the conference room.
After all the editors are in the conference room.
Yang Dahai said with a frown, " that's right, I just got a call from Ying Hua. He said that professor Guang Jun had a stroke last night and was admitted to the hospital."
Wu Yinghua is the editor of Lin Guangjun. He received a call from Lin Guangjun's assistant last night and rushed to the hospital early in the morning.
Everyone present was shocked to hear what Yang Dahai said.
Stroke is not a trivial matter. If you are not careful, you will die.
"Although professor Guang Jun has been rescued, his current condition is still not optimistic."
Yang Dahai took a deep breath and said, "then your work" All Gods Are Not Open"will be announced to stop serialization in the next issue and will be suspended indefinitely..."
Everyone was agitated. You should know that it is a weekly magazine and occupies part of the space of "Comic World".
Although its popularity has not been very good recently, it once fell to the last place in the popularity poll.
But without a weekly magazine, each issue of "Comic World "will become much"thinner".
However, the number of pages in each issue of "Comic World" has a minimum page requirement.
The number of pages and content has always been limited to more and not less.
After all, there are many comic book fans who have subscribed to "Comic World" for half a year or even a whole year before. They are priced according to the 350-page issue of "Comic World" and paid for the subscription in advance.
Suddenly, you run out of pages. What is missing is not just one or two pages, but at least eighteen pages in a work.
this...
Regular subscribers definitely can not justify this.
The most important thing in the company is word of mouth and reputation, and "Comic World" is the foundation of the company.
They are still leaders in the industry and are watched by numerous peers and competitors.
It is said that the most sophisticated business warfare is waiting for your friends to make mistakes.
If something goes wrong in the comics industry, we will face massive publicity and attacks from our peers and competitors.
So this kind of thing will definitely not be allowed by the comic book company.
"So next we have to find ways to compensate for the lack of serial content in" All Gods are Not Open.""
Yang Dahai said, " Do any teachers plan to start a new job recently?"
What he really meant was to ask if any authors of old comics were planning to create new works.
They all looked at each other and shook their heads.
"No, and time is very tight. The printing and typesetting of the next issue of the magazine will be sent to the main printing houses at least in the early hours of the day after tomorrow."
A senior editor in charge of typesetting said with a wry smile.
"It's too late to find new jobs..."
Another senior editor said, " So our best way is to have a monthly or biannual publication that has extra manuscripts prepared to replace the weekly one, just like when professor Linlang suddenly suspended publication three years ago."
"Comic World" was published so many years ago, so, naturally, this is not the first time to come across such a sudden suspension of publication.
After all, everyone can have their ups and downs.
A little hope suddenly appeared in Yang Dahai's eyes: "which editor in charge of monthly or semi-annual magazines now knows which professor has manuscripts?"
He looked at the six editors. "Comics World" currently has four biannual works and eight monthly works.
These six editors, including Ayumi Ito, are the editors responsible for these works.
Theoretically speaking, the tasks of serializing monthly and semi-annual magazines are not so burdensome.
It is entirely possible to save manuscripts every half a month or even a month between updates.
However, four editors in charge of bimonthly and monthly publications smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
"It is impossible for Professor Yingyue to save manuscripts. I even have to call and even go to his door every month to ask for manuscripts."
"Phoenix Academy teacher too. He even announced a break in the last series."
"Yes, several teachers of the monthly magazine are like that. They can't find anyone. Let alone deposit manuscripts, manuscripts for the next serial edition may not be submitted."
…
In contrast to the biannual cartoons, where most cartoonists are newcomers, the cartoonists working on the monthly cartoons are basically veterans.
They are still some old oils that have famous works and are very popular. They have achieved financial freedom. It is really problematic for them to send their manuscripts.
These veterans may even become exhibitionists in the future. After communicating with publishers in advance and arranging other jobs to replace their serialization positions, they may one day suddenly announce that they will suspend publication indefinitely.
Therefore, asking these old bastards to save the manuscripts is the same as asking the old thief Togashi when he will resume serialization.
Yang Dahai was very helpless and knew it very well.
It is simply unrealistic to expect some teachers from Monthly.
But only then...
"Editor-in-chief! Mr. Qingshan has a manuscript!"
Everyone present looked at... Ayumi Ito.
Xu Zhexuan also looked at Ayumi Ito next to him at this moment... in fact... he also wanted to say that Yang Shu must have saved the manuscript.
After all, this is the serialization position of the weekly magazine!
From a semi-annual publication to a weekly publication, not only cartoonists will receive more royalties.
Even plots serialized every week will greatly increase popularity.
But he, who recently helped Yang Shuzhun improve the plot of" Psychic Warlock", knew this very well in order to improve the plot of"Psychic Warlock".
Yang Shuzhun almost did not have time to draw a new episode.
Even if there is, he will feel tired after working day and night to improve the plot in this period, and he will have to rest.
Therefore," Psychic Warlock " does not have any manuscripts.
There's no competing for this weekly serialization opportunity.
Speaking of which, who would be the serious comic book author who would draw and save the manuscripts in advance?
Isn't this kind of person who filed manuscripts mentally ill? !
When Yang Dahai heard this, he was overjoyed: "in this case, Professor Qingshan's "edgerunner" will temporarily replace "All Gods are not Open" in the weekly position."
"Ayumi, go inform Mr. Qingshan and ask him to send the manuscript at least tonight."
He did not intend to let "edgerunner" directly replace "All Gods Are Not Open" in the weekly position.
But temporarily.
After all, the typesetting will be sent to the main printing houses in the early hours of the day after tomorrow, so this is also a temporary measure.
"edgerunner" really wants to directly replace" All Gods Are Not Open " in the weekly position, unless...
The weekly serialization of "edgerunner" is quite popular.
"Yes! I will immediately inform professor Qingshan and ask him to send the manuscript today."
Ayumi Ito perked up and said.
In this way, the official website of the comic company, the official media and the new edition of "Comic World" explained the situation that the author of "All Gods Are Not Open" stopped publishing due to illness, and presented condolences and follow-up messages for the author's help.
At the same time, it was announced that "edgerunner" will replace the current weekly serialization of "All Gods are Not Open".
