To lure you into the game, Professor Su is cold and flirtatious

Chapter 22

After Song Qiao finished speaking, she introduced to Zhu Yuanyuan: "Editor Zhu, this is my good friend and the creator of "Teacher Gao Lengshuai's Observation Diary". Her name is Ding Lingling, and she is currently a graduate student at S University."

After Song Qiao finished her introduction, Ding Lingling quickly reached out and shook Zhu Yuanyuan's hand, feeling a little nervous.

Zhu Yuanyuan wears a ball head, not the conventional cute Korean-style ball head, but the old-fashioned ball head of the dean of students.

With a pair of narrow black-rimmed glasses on his face, he has a handsome face and a lady's suit on his body. He has a standard Miejue Shitai image, and even his voice is very serious.

"Hi, my name is Zhu Yuanyuan, you can call me Editor-in-Chief Zhu."

Ding Lingling didn't dare to do anything wrong, she nodded repeatedly, called the editor-in-chief honestly, and sat down with Song Qiao.

Both parties sat down, and it was time to start negotiations.

Contrary to Ding Lingling's imagination, although Zhu Yuanyuan looked serious, her tone of voice was quite sincere, and even what she said was not intended to fool Ding Lingling.

Zhu Yuanyuan pushed her glasses, crossed her hands on the table, and kept her back straight. Her eyes were fixed on Ding Lingling, and she respected people's way of speaking.

"Lingling, I should be able to call you that, right?"

Ding Lingling nodded quickly.

Only then did Zhu Yuanyuan begin to say: "Lingling, since we made an appointment to meet here, I won't waste your time. Let's get straight to the point. Let me talk about my thoughts first."

Ding Lingling couldn't help being a bit more serious, and pretended to be listening attentively.

Song Qiao seemed to have gotten used to it a long time ago, but she was the most relaxed of the three, but her ears were also pricked up.

Zhu Yuanyuan's tone was extremely serious: "Lingling, to be honest, the female-oriented works of comic sites in our domestic market are all a bit flat, and the homogenization is very serious."

"Compared with female-oriented, there are actually more types of male-oriented, and the market is therefore larger. As a result, the male-oriented works now account for the majority of manga adaptations."

"Women can only linger in it, and the market is getting narrower and narrower. It will be more difficult for authors to get ahead than male authors of the same class."

Ding Lingling was slightly surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect Zhu Yuanyuan to say this to herself.

Zhu Yuanyuan took a deep breath, and when she looked at Ding Lingling, her gaze slowed down a lot, she said sincerely.

"Based on the current situation, so, as an editor-in-chief of Women Direction, I hope to discover more authors with unique styles like you."

"The more authors like you, the outside world's perception of female-oriented works will change. The more excellent works are published, the more opportunities for female-oriented authors."

Ding Lingling was shocked, and she didn't hide her shock, her eyes widened, and she felt a little admiration in her heart.

Compared to Zhu Yuanyuan who charged forward in the comics for women, I really feel a little ashamed.

Ding Lingling said almost subconsciously: "Editor Zhu, I didn't think so much before. I didn't expect you to pay so much for the comics. I promise you!"

Ding Lingling had just opened her mouth when Song Qiao beside her felt bad.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words from Ding Lingling's mouth, she quickly held down Ding Lingling's hand, curled her lips towards her with a smile on her face, and then exerted some strength on her hand.

Ding Lingling's hand hurts, and only then did she come to her senses, realizing that she just agreed impulsively, and she was a little embarrassed.

He just told her what he thought, but he didn't sign the contract yet, so why did he agree?
Zhu Yuanyuan didn't mind the little actions of the two in front of her, she pushed up her black glasses, looked at Song Qiao and asked.

"Song Qiao, we've known each other for a long time, so you can just say what you think. Anyway, I really appreciate Lingling."

Song Qiao finally got a chance to speak, she immediately smiled, cleared her throat and said.

"Editor Zhu, I know your lofty ambitions, but in terms of lofty ambitions, we have to implement them. You also know that Lingling's "Teacher Gao Lengshuai's Observation Diary" has only published five episodes, and it has already been out of the circle, and Lingling has long been famous on Weibo."

"She has a fan base. Some of her previous short comics were signed to the electronic copyright of other websites, and the data sales are good. According to our previous thinking, our website is going to sign Ding Lingling, so it is considered one of us. In terms of treatment... don't you have to give it some preferential treatment? What do you think?"

To be honest, as a member of Manmanfei, Song Qiao turned her elbows when she said such things on the author's side.

Zhu Yuanyuan took a cool look at Song Qiao, slightly pursed her lips, and did not speak immediately.

Ding Lingling felt a little nervous, but fortunately Zhu Yuanyuan was not silent for long, she nodded and agreed with Song Qiao's statement.

"Song Qiao is right. Lingling, you have a good reputation on the Internet. Even among the comic authors we have signed with Manmanfei, you are considered to be among the best."

Ding Lingling was a little embarrassed by the other party's praise.

"But..." Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly changed the topic.

Ding Lingling and Song Qiao raised their hearts and looked towards her.

Zhu Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, and said in a serious tone: "But even so, Lingling doesn't have physical sales data. In the Internet age, the only way to verify the degree of loyalty of Lingling's fans is to look at physical sales data."

"Otherwise, no matter how many fans there are, it's just a number. It cannot be realized, nor can it bring revenue to the website, nor can it reflect the value of Lingling."

Song Qiao couldn't help frowning, she sensed something was wrong, and immediately looked at Zhu Yuanyuan and asked seriously.

"Editor Zhu, what do you mean?"

Zhu Yuanyuan didn't pretend to be a joke either, she looked at Ding Lingling, and said seriously and bluntly: "Lingling, what I mean is very simple, your "Teacher Gao Lengshuai Observation Diary" has indeed been popular on the Internet, but there is no movement in the magazine. .”

"I want to re-split the first five episodes of "Teacher Gao Lengshuai's Observation Diary", and then add your latest two unpublished episodes, package them together and serialize them in Manmanfei Magazine."

"It will be serialized for two months at most. If it can drive the sales of the magazine, then I will come forward to talk to the website and issue a booklet for you."

As soon as these words came out, Song Qiao frowned deeply. She looked at Zhu Yuanyuan and asked in a bad tone.

"Editor Zhu, didn't we agree before that as long as Ding Lingling signs a contract with us, we will publish it directly for her? Why did it suddenly become a serial again?"

Zhu Yuanyuan lowered her head slightly, and when she raised her face again, she saw Song Qiao regain her serious face.
