Chapter 180 Meeting

Today's Li Xi seems to be no different from usual, with company-style tops, skirts, and black stockings.

The whole person looks beautiful and beautiful, but the expression is a little cold, and there is a feeling that strangers should not be near.

"Editor Li, the editor-in-chief asks you to come and go to his office!"

"Got it!" 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 only walked in after receiving Deng He's signal.

Deng He motioned for Li Xi to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and stopped talking.

"You must already know the grade of the initial D!"

"Well, I see. To be honest, the fifth pick was beyond my expectations."

When Li Xi mentioned the grade of the initial D, his cold expression melted a little, and there was a slight smile in his eyes.

"It's beyond your imagination, even I didn't expect it." Deng He's wrinkled face also burst into a smile.

"Originally, in my imagination, the initial results of Initial D should be the same as that of Extreme Boy, but as the serialization time of the two works becomes longer, Initial D will eventually widen the gap with Extreme Boy."

"But what I didn't expect was that just by the serialization of the first issue, the gap between the two works was widened."

"It seems that I'm really getting old, and my market vision has also regressed. If it weren't for the explosive success of Initial D, I really didn't know that racing comics would have such a market in Longhui!" Deng He shook his head and said. .

"But I have to say that this cartoon drawn by the young man Shui Xin is really wonderful. If it wasn't for me being so old that I couldn't drive a car, the old man would still like to drive to the hills near the magic capital."

"Editor-in-chief, you are joking! Please don't raise such a dangerous behavior even if it is an idea! Otherwise, an accident will cause great trouble to the company and us!" Li Xi said.

An embarrassed expression appeared on Deng He's face.

Li Xi has come to Xuangui for so many years, and she can achieve the current achievements not only with her own ability, but also with the support of Deng He.

Otherwise, Li Xi suggested that the works of Tang Xin, who was 14 years old, should be serialized on Shuiyuan. Who would dare to take this risk without his approval?

But Li Xi's way of speaking without any sense of humor sometimes made him quite depressed. 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. .

"Okay, let's stop chatting, you know, after the end of the Crimson Abyss, there will be no real top comics in our serialized works on Shuiyuan. Of course, many comics clubs will encounter this situation. We, Xuan Turtles, have been in this situation many times over the years."

"Based on past experience, generally in such a period, the sales of journals will decline significantly. In order to reduce these negative effects, we used to launch a top-notch comic as soon as possible."

"However, such comic works are not always available. Although Tang Xin's dream world is popular, it is still a little worse. Her lower works may reach this level, but it is still early." Deng He said in a deep voice. road.

"So in this case, launching a few lower-level comics can achieve the same effect."

"Initial D and Extreme Boy are the works that are favored. Originally, my personal opinion is that Initial D is more optimistic, but some old guys in the company think that maybe my vision is wrong. They think that Zong Lei is an old cartoonist after all. Maybe the serialization of the work will be better than the initial D."

"However, after the first results of these two works came out, the guys had nothing to say. Therefore, the focus of our work in the next period of time is to put a considerable part of the publicity resources of the works in the initial D in the country. Above, I hope this work can finally reach the influence of Dream World and Dragon Soul." Deng He said slowly.

If a comic work wants to be popular, in addition to its own strength, it has a lot to do with the company's promotion and operation, but the resources are limited, so Xuangui will naturally put these resources on more potential works. .

Li Xi understands that, obviously, if there are no other works that can show the influence beyond the initial D in the future, then this work will be bombarded by the propaganda and bombardment of Xuangui in the whole dragon country, which will attract many comic lovers. know this work.

Basically, Tang Xin experienced this kind of treatment two years ago, so Tang Xin has now stepped into the ranks of the top cartoonists in the magic capital. Although she has barely reached this status in terms of her popularity and influence, but Tang Xin's advantage is that he is young, and young has infinite possibilities, and Chu Yu also has such advantages.

"Anyway, the company's decision is like this. It's nothing to ask you to come. It's just to inform you about the company's development direction for a period of time in the future, and to fulfill your responsibilities as a comic editor. If it's not necessary, go to Shuixin. Don't let anything happen to suspend 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 the table with his fingers, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He remembered what Li Xi said at the serialization meeting where Li Xi proposed to serialize Natsume's Book of Friends.

Shui Xin is just one chance away, and after one chance, he will show the potential to not lose to Tang Xin.

Now it seems that it is true, not to mention not losing to Tang Xin, even Deng He faintly feels that if the follow-up plot of Initial D's work can be further improved, then perhaps this young man named Chu Yu can rely on it. This comic is a god, surpassing Tang Xin, and it is also very hopeful to jump into the ranks of the top comic artists in the magic capital.

In addition to dealing with various things in the company, the work of comic editors is to urge drafts or discuss comic plots with cartoonists at their homes.

Therefore, after handling some trivial matters of the company, Li Xi came to the high-end community where Tang Xin lived again after a day, to investigate Tang Xin's cartoon drawing.

Taking out the key of Tang Xin's house, Li Xi quickly opened the door.

Inside the house, as expected, several of Tang Xin's female comic assistants were earnestly drawing comics, while Tang Xin, the author of this work, turned on the computer and wore headphones, and played games there.

Li Xi suddenly looked bad.

Walking to Tang Xin's side, he knocked on the table.

Tang Xin was wearing headphones and focused on the racing game in front of her. She only glanced at the color of Li Xi's clothes, thinking that Li Xi was one of her assistants, Fan Qian.

"Sister Qian, can I trouble you to bring me a pack of potato chips and a can of Coke?" Tang Xin coquettishly said in a pitiful voice.

Soon chips and Coke were on her table.

But at the same time, a voice that made her familiar and frightened sounded.

"Is this game fun?"

"Do chips and coke go well with gaming?"

"But, what I want to ask is. Where did you draw your comics?"

Tang Xin looked up and saw Li Xi, her expression froze at first, and then she immediately closed the computer screen and the host at a lightning speed.

"Li Xi, why are you here?" Tang Xin said nervously, looking around, not daring to look directly at Li Xi.
