Chapter 542

In Yanjing Lingying Comics Magazine, the president in charge of operations, Tian Kangle, looked at the few remaining staff in the company with a tired face. He said with a hoarse throat: "I called everyone here today to talk about the last thing. Thank you for your serious work in the past few years. I am not a competent leader and I am ashamed of everyone's help. The magazine will cease publication next month, and the last month's salary will be paid."

"Now I don't ask everyone to make any contributions. Take the time to find your next job. If you need my help to write an introduction letter, you can come to the office to find me."

A few years ago, Tian Kangle was very energetic and used the 5 million yuan he sold his house to open this Lingying Comics magazine. It used to be a brilliant time, but now it has no manuscripts and no advertisers have joined. Dealers are unwilling to purchase goods and have no way to meet readers.

The situation has reached such a serious point, Tian Kangle seemed to be ten years old, and he watched the magazine he created go bankrupt, which was particularly painful!

At this time, there were only two editors, one financial officer and one artist in the social conference room of Lingying Comics magazine. The rest had left one after another. Now it was time for them to find a job.

"Sister Jing, have you found a new job?" Xiaohui, the artist who had just graduated, asked with a sad look on her face, "I didn't expect that my first job would be gone like this."

Xu Jing shook her head, and she smiled, "My husband said he wanted me to go home and be a full-time housewife. It just so happened that my son was going to elementary school."

Xiaohui looked at Xu Jing in surprise, shook her head and persuaded her: "It's not me that I'll hit you. Being a full-time housewife will be out of touch with the world. By then, it won't be a bad woman. Women, you still have to be a little independent. There are too many negative textbooks on Weibo and Tianya!"

Xiaohui is obviously younger, but she looks old-fashioned and has not experienced much, but it is still useful to visit various forums all year round.

Xu Jing was actually very hesitant. She was used to such a comfortable life. She must adapt to changing to a new unit. She didn't want to make any changes.

If I actually go back to be a full-time housewife, I am very unwilling to accept it. One is that the social circle is narrowing, and the other is that the family economic problem is also a family economic problem.

As an ordinary office worker, the salary of her husband Wang Wei can barely support her family. After the child goes to elementary school, all the expenses are like a mountain. Now the stock market is in a downturn, and it is difficult to rely on her husband in the securities industry to make more money!

She looked at her phone and made up her mind secretly that perhaps it would be a good choice to stay in the Anime comics, provided that it can survive.

"Xiaohui, I'll go find the president and chat later."

"Sister Jing, are you asking President Tian for a letter of recommendation? Can you ask me for one too?"

"No, I'll see if there is a way to save our magazine." Xu Jing stood up, held the phone in her hand, then pushed open the door of the conference room and walked outside.

Xiaohui looked at Xu Jing, who was confused and said, "The wind was slight and the water was cold, and the heroes never returned after they left." She saved the magazine, afraid that it was not a daydream!

How could she do something that the president can’t do?

Of course, Xu Jing knew that this was not very likely, but she just wanted to give it a try. In case, she had to try it one percent.

Tian Kangle, who was sitting in the office, could hardly stop one cigarette after another, and the whole room was covered by smoke.

When Xu Jing pushed open the door and walked in, she was so fumigated by the choking smell of smoke that she coughed twice in a row.

"Sister Xu, what's the matter with me?" Tian Kangle looked at the veteran financial officer who had been around since the founding of the magazine, and felt a little moved.

The editors and artists changed one after another, but the finance department has been working for almost eight years.

"Mr. Tian, ​​I want to know if our magazine really can't continue?"

"If I can still stick with it, I will definitely be willing to stick with it. But to be honest, I have mortgaged my house to the bank and owed millions."

Xu Jing gritted her teeth and said, "If there is a very popular comic series in our magazine, would you say it can survive?"

Tian Kangle chuckled bitterly, "There is such a ghost in the anime cartoons. How could a popular painter be willing to put his works here?"

"Those rabbits were very popular on the Internet that year. I have the WeChat contact information of the author Zhang Chu."

"What? Can you contact Zhang Chu?" Tian Kangle directly pressed the cigarette in the ashtray, and stood up excitedly!

Who doesn’t know Zhang Chu in the comic circle now? He can use a simple sketch style to make a comic work "Those Things That Rabbit That Year" full of turmoil. So far, the content of the two chapters has been read by tens of millions, and has also been recognized by many official accounts.

Xu Jing didn't plan to do this, but she really wanted to stay in the anime comics and couldn't bear to disappear. Zhang Chu, who accidentally wandered around the Metropolitan Museum in New York while traveling to the United States, met again at the airport and added WeChat. Only after she found out that the young man was the most famous best-selling writer in China.

When she was at the airport, Xu Jing and Wang Wei read the content of "Those Things That Rabbit That Year". At that time, she thought Zhang Chu was a freshman painter and wanted to help him produce this comic.

But after she learned about her identity, of course, she would not mention this topic again, and she didn't even talk about it after adding WeChat. She didn't want to be the kind of person who was tempted by the tendency to become a person who was inclined to the point of being in trouble.

Now, for the sake of anime cartoons, she directly told this secret that she had been kept for a long time.

"Sister Jing, why didn't you tell me earlier if you have this resource? With his comic, those advertisers and dealers probably turned around and begged us!" Tian Kangle was overjoyed. Zhang Chu's current popularity is comparable to that of young and handsome guys in the entertainment industry, but one depends on his appearance and the other rely on his works.

"Mr. Tian, ​​it was just a coincidence that I added his WeChat. Actually, I am not familiar with him at all. It is still unknown whether I can contact him or not. It is even more fantasy to convince him to come to our magazine serialization."

Xu Jing means not to be too happy too early, she actually doesn’t have any hope at all.

"As long as I can contact you, I'll think about what to say, I have to be prepared."

Tian Kangle's original decadence disappeared, but now he is full of energy. All brain cells are thinking seriously. How can he put "Things of That Rabbit That Year" here?

...

"Ah Yeh, Ah Yeh!"

Zhang Chu sat on the chair and sneezed twice. He rubbed his nose and thought to himself: Who is saying bad things about me behind his back?

The recording of the first episode of "The Brainiest" has just passed, but four hours have passed, and both the staff and the contestants are a little tired.

Now it's just a little rest, and I have to continue later.

While Zhang Chu was thinking, Luo Hanqiu next to him hesitated for a moment and handed over a piece of toilet paper, but he still remained cold.

"Thank you, I really didn't bring any paper." Zhang Chu took it and snotted. He asked casually: "How did you get the answer to that question just now so quickly?"

Almost 20 people were eliminated in the first level, and 20 people were eliminated in the second level. Luo Hanqiu was the one who used the shortest time in the second level. He found out the graphics and superimposed them and eliminated them in less than two minutes.

Luo Hanqiu ignored Zhang Chu, who was familiar with her. She was adjusting her mood at this moment and was particularly jealous when she met her enemies. The black cat does not exist. The black cat does not exist.

In fact, she herself couldn't figure out why she was full of fighting spirit, as if she had already opened her mind, and she was holding her energy to win over the shoveler who was holding the black cat.

"Teacher Xiao Zhang, your phone has ringed several times, which may be an important thing. Do you need to check it out?"

Xu Ying, a staff member holding the black cat, walked up to Zhang Chu during the break. She had Zhang Chu's bag hanging on her arm. Today she was Zhang Chu's exclusive assistant.

For the effect of program recording, all employees and guests are actually not allowed to carry their mobile phones. One is to avoid cheating, and the other is to avoid interrupting recording.

The other contestants' mobile phones were kept in envelopes, but Zhang Chu actually had a special assistant to do these things. So when Xu Ying showed up, everyone realized that Zhang Chu was really different from him and others!

"Then I'll take a look."

Zhang Chu stood up and walked to the edge of the stage. Matcha seized the opportunity to burrow on him, as if he had put on a black scarf.

After taking out the phone from the bag, Zhang Chu saw that it was a series of messages received by WeChat. Except for his mother asking if she would come back for dinner, they were all text messages sent by Xu Jing.

With Zhang Chu's memory improved by the system, he certainly knew Xu Jing's identity and thought the other party would never contact him.

When I was waiting at the airport, Xu Jing once kindly asked herself to add her WeChat account, wanting to help recommend "Things of the Rabbit That Year" magazine where she works, but then there was no news.

Zhang Chu guessed that the couple might have discovered their identity, so there is no follow-up. Now it seems that this is true!

A comic company that has never heard of and is about to go bankrupt actually wants to publish "Those Things That Rabbit That Year", which is almost a fantasy on weekdays.

You should know that this comic is at its most popular time. Many comic clubs have already offered sky-high prices to find Hanlin Culture Media, but they have all been rejected.

I'm afraid even Liang Jingru can't give this courage!

"The key is to choose a better platform. This platform is too bad. What if it goes bankrupt after two installments?"

Zhang Chu was thinking about a very realistic question. If Lingying comics really couldn't hold on, wouldn't it be that meat buns beat dogs, and there was no return?

Just when he wanted to refuse, an idea suddenly emerged. Since it was going to go bankrupt, why not acquire it under his own company?

Since Hanlin Culture Media wants to create full copyright, it is necessary to enter the second dimension. Whether it is the comic "Ghost Blows Out the Light" or "Things of That Rabbit That Year" needs to be expanded through serialization and increase the number of readers.

If the peripheral products rely on novels alone, the sales volume may not be much higher, but after they become popular comics and animations, the audience will grow substantially!

Haven't you seen that the benefits generated by various cartoons are actually the biggest, just like the weird Audi Double Diamond company, which used to be just an agent for four-wheel drive cars, but later I found that doing originals seems to be more profitable than being an agent.

So I just made cartoons by myself to sell toys and other surroundings, just like to sell Super Flying toys, I filmed several "Super Flying" cartoons.

Disney can sell so many peripheral products, but it only relies on various cartoons, movies, and TV series works.

Instead of giving your comics to other comic clubs to make money and popularity, it is better to put them in your palm and create them.

Now there seems to be such an opportunity. It will cost a lot of money to acquire the bankrupt Lingying comics. I will use "Those Things That Rabbit That Year" to ask for directions. If this road is proven to be feasible, then Zhang Chu can bring the rest of the Chinese comics that do not exist in this world.

He may not finish drawings by himself, but he will leave the creativity and plot to other painters for cooperation, and he can even develop from simple comic work toward animation in the later stage.

What are the painting world, what are the 100,000 jokes, what are the Kuiba, what is the bright moon in the Qin Dynasty, what is the return of the Great Sage, etc., these are all potential resources.

Whether it is making comics or animations, it requires its own company to control it, so Zhang Chu thought about it and took a screenshot of Xu Jing's words and sent it to Zhou Kang.

"Uncle Zhou, this is a friend I met in the United States. She wants the rabbit to serialize it in the lively comics. You discuss with Sister Ye and discuss whether it is necessary for us to acquire this comic company and publish my works, and at the same time, we also recruit some other fixed painters to come over."

These things are left to the agent and the general manager of the company to have a headache. If they make a decision after the measurement, then Zhang Chu will make a favor and put "That Year" on the Lingying comics, but at that time, Lingying comics may have to change their owners!

As for what Xu Jing thinks, Zhang Chu doesn't care much. He doesn't need to be a bad person, he can only help within a limited range. If a boss of Lingying Comics is changed, it may be a good thing for these employees.

At that time, whether Tian Kangle cries, laughs, quarrels or makes a fuss is not a problem. At least the Lingying comics have been preserved, and there is still a possibility of development and growth!

After receiving the news from Zhang Chu, Zhou Kang was so angry that this kid couldn't stop recording the show. He could still encounter these troublesome things, but there was nothing he could do. What the boss said had to be executed.
