Rebirth of the God of Comics

"Editor-in-Chief, most of the agents of our new magazine have refused to publish it. We may only sell tens of thousands copies of this issue at our best estimate."

In the new animation magazine, in order to deal with this incident, Lin Lan summoned all the editors of the company. The so-called three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang. With so many people working together, Lin Lan hopes to find a way out.

Lin Lan nodded after hearing that, and said, "Okay, I already know. Now I gather everyone together, hoping that everyone can come up with a solution. Chen Ze's "Slam Dunk" is published by our magazine. Where there is hope, we must not let it happen.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the editors around showed contemplative and embarrassed expressions. This time, the agents, industry leaders, and third-party review magazines pointed their finger at "Slam Dunk" at the same time. Everyone was at a loss for something they had never encountered before.

"Editor-in-Chief, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to solve. It's not just the agent's problem, even Lotte Club has issued an article asking us to cut "Slam Dunk" in half. He is the leader in the industry. Magazines like ours If you offend it, the consequences will be very serious."

A middle-aged man in his thirties said that he already had great opinions on Lin Lan's signing of "Slam Dunk", and felt that there was no need to sign such comics as "Slam Dunk". This time "Slam Dunk" was targeted, and he was also one of the main voices in the company to abandon "Slam Dunk".

"Then what do you mean?" Lin Lan looked at the middle-aged man and said lightly. Her eyes were a little dim, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Give up "Slam Dunk", we can't provoke a giant like Lotte Club, and offending it for a "Slam Dunk" is not worth it."

The middle-aged man thought that facing such an almost incomprehensible situation, Lin Lan finally relented and was willing to listen to him. That's right, if a girl in her twenties knows what managing a company is, you just hand over the power of the magazine to me, and I'm guaranteed to be ten thousand times better than you.

The man thought to himself that he was not only dissatisfied with "Slam Dunk", but actually more dissatisfied with his boss. I think he is also a person who has been in the comics circle for more than ten years, how can he be under the control of a little girl.

At that time, he came to the new animation magazine because he heard that the magazine had the background of some of the top wealthy businessmen in the country. Who would have thought that a little girl would take care of him when he came here, especially what Lin Lan's little girl idealized? The three principles of bullshit even sneered at her.

"Very good!" Lin Lan nodded, "Wang Huan, you have been fired."

The middle-aged man looked happy when he heard Lin Lan's previous sentence, thinking that Lin Lan had followed his advice. But she didn't expect that her last sentence was to fire herself.

"Editor, what did you say?" Wang Huan couldn't believe his ears.

"I said you were fired." Lin Lan said flatly, "You think I don't know what you've been doing in private, and these days I've been in cahoots all over the company, asking all the editors in the company to put pressure on me, You are the one who asked me to give up "Slam Dunk"!"

Wang Huan thought he had done it in a very secretive way, but Lin Lan had already known about it: "Editor-in-Chief, I am doing this for the company's good. We are not able to deal with Lotte Club. And you will fire me just because of this. Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the people in the company?"

Wang Huan argued loudly that after hearing this, those who had had contact with him in private felt a little chill in their hearts besides worrying about themselves.

"you're right,

If it's just these things, I certainly won't judge you. "Lin Lan said this, paused, and then raised her voice: "But you contacted the people from the Lotte Club in private, and you were bribed by them to persuade me to give up "Slam Dunk". Can I accommodate you? "

"Wow!"

The people present all exclaimed, none of them expected such a thing to happen.

"Editor, what evidence do you have, if you don't have any, don't slander people here, I can sue you."

Wang Huan looked a little ugly. It is true that people from Lotte Club came to him a few days ago, hoping to use his hand to eradicate "Slam Dunk", of course, the condition is that Lotte Club can hire him as the new editor-in-chief of the group. He has long been dissatisfied with the new animation, and Lotte Club is the industry leader, so of course he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Sue me!" Lin Lan sneered, and she took out a stack of photos from nowhere. "These are the best evidence. The person talking to you is from the Lotte Club."

After speaking, she threw the stack of photos on the table. The editors around were in an uproar. They reached out to pick up the photo one after another. After reading it, their eyes towards Wang Huan immediately changed.

Just now, he was still fighting for him, thinking that he was doing the best for the company, but Lin Lan actually fired him. Unexpectedly, he actually used himself to achieve his goal. Thinking of this, the people who had been in contact with him began to curse in their hearts.

"Do you need me to say something more, Wang Huan, you are no longer a member of our new animation magazine, pack up and leave!" Lin Lan said to Wang Huan coldly.

Wang Huan's face was ashen. He packed his things under the eyes of everyone, and walked to the door, but he seemed unwilling to say: "Lin Lan, I tell you that the advice I gave you is true. The Lotte Club is not you If you can deal with it, offending it is simply asking for your own death."

Although he left, the words he said at the end still played a lot of role. The editors present thought of such a giant as Lotte Club, and their faces showed fear and confusion.

"Is Lotte Club inviolable? It has indeed been the leader in the industry for 20 years, and so far there is no magazine that can compete with it. And our new animation is just a small magazine that has just started. Compared with it, it is almost It is the difference between ants and elephants, but do you really think it is inviolable?" Seeing this, Lin Lan said slowly.

"If it is really inviolable, then why did it block our "Slam Dunk" in a hurry. Everyone, don't forget what kind of magazine it was twenty years ago. At that time, it was nothing more than a magazine like ours. An ordinary small magazine, because of Li Mingyang, defeated the overlord at the time and became the new leader."

"Today, Li Mingyang from our new animation magazine was also found. The momentum shown by Chen Ze's "Slam Dunk" is not at all inferior to that of Li Mingyang back then, and it is even better. I think this is also the case. The reason why they rushed to deal with Slam Dunk. As long as we get through this, I think the turn of the times is not far away.”

·······

At the meeting, Lin Lan encouraged all the staff of the magazine with words, but this did not help resolve this matter. Now that the new animation is facing siege from all sides, the sales volume of the magazine has plummeted to tens of thousands or even thousands. If this problem is not resolved, the magazine will be in danger of going bankrupt.

But it is a pity that even though the whole company worked together, they did not come up with a good method. At this moment, she received a call from Chen Ze, in which Chen Ze thought of a solution.

"You mean to serialize it on the Internet?" Lin Lan asked uncertainly.

"That's right, since the magazine agent is unwilling to provide us with a channel, why don't we provide the comics online. In this way, the problem may be temporarily solved."

Online serialization, this is what Chen Ze came up with. But in fact, he was also inspired by the Internet literature in his previous life. The emergence of online literature in previous lives has made countless people with literary dreams no longer suffer from having no place to publish, which has brought revolutionary changes to novels.

Although manga has its particularity, it cannot be compared with novels. But it should be able to overcome the difficulties during this period of time, so as not to be suffocated to death because of the agent's problem.

And people are always profit-seeking animals, as long as their comics are well received on the Internet, they don't have to worry about not having an agent to distribute the magazine. As for the quality of "Slam Dunk", Chen Ze is still very confident.

"Unlike in the past, we are one issue behind the magazine every time, we can mention the manga and the magazine in one issue, or even one issue in advance, to watch the manga by subscription, and even reward, set the monthly ticket list, etc. .” Chen Ze expressed his thoughts.

"Is this really okay?" Lin Lan asked uncertainly.

"Of course, I'm willing to assure you that if it doesn't work, I won't take my manuscript fee." In the previous life, the novel website was very popular. Although comics have their own special features, they cannot be simply compared with novels. However, Chen Ze still has the confidence to just use this method to get through the difficult time now and wait for things to turn around.

For some reason, after hearing Chen Ze's confident words, Lin Lan became a little anxious and irritable, and inexplicably calmed down.
