Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 52: Opportunities only come to mentally ill patients who are prepared

"All editors! Come in for a meeting!"

Yang Dahai walked out of his office and shouted with a serious face.

Ayumi Ito, Xu Zhexuan and the veteran editors looked at each other, but they still put down the work at hand and followed Yang Dahai into the conference room.

After all editors are in the conference room.

Yang Dacai said with a frown on his face, "That's right, I just got a call from Ying Hua. He said that Teacher Guang Jun had a stroke last night and was admitted to the hospital."

Wu Yinghua is Lin Guangjun's editor. He got a call from Lin Guangjun's assistant last night and ran to the hospital early in the morning.

Everyone present was shocked when they heard what Yang Dahai said.

Stroke is not a trivial matter. If you are not careful, you will die.

"Although Teacher Guang Jun was rescued, his current condition is still not optimistic."

Yang Dahai took a deep breath and said, "So his work "All Gods Are Not Open" will be announced to stop serialization in the next issue and will be suspended indefinitely..."

Everyone was in an uproar. You must know that "Wan Shen Mo Kai" is a weekly magazine and occupies part of the space of "Comic World Gogo".

Although its popularity has not been very good recently, it once fell to the last place in the popularity survey.

But without a weekly magazine, each issue of "Comic World Gogo" will become much "thinner".

However, the number of pages in each issue of "Manga World Gogo" 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 Gogo" for half a year or even a full year early. They are priced according to the 350-page issue of "Comic World Gogo" and have paid sufficient pre-subscription money.

You are suddenly short of pages. What is missing is not just one or two pages, but at least eighteen pages in a work.

This……

The regular subscribers definitely can’t justify it.

The company's most important thing is word of mouth and reputation, and "Comic World Gogo" is the company's foundation.

They are still leaders in the industry and are watched by countless peers and competitors.

It is said that the most high-end business war is to wait for your friends to make mistakes.

If something goes wrong in the comic industry, we will face massive publicity and attacks from our peers and competitors.

So this kind of thing will definitely not be allowed to happen by the comic company.

"So next we have to find ways to make up for the missing serial content in "All Gods Are Not Open"."

Yang Dahai said, "Is there any teacher planning to start a new work recently?"

What he actually meant was to ask if any old comic book authors were planning to create new works.

Everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads.

"No, and the time is too tight. The printing and typesetting of the next issue of the magazine will be sent to major printing houses at least in the early morning of the day after tomorrow."

A senior editor in charge of typesetting said with a wry smile.

"It's too late to find new works..."

Another senior editor said, "So our best way is to have a monthly or semi-monthly publication with excess manuscripts prepared to replace the weekly just like when Teacher Linlang suddenly suspended publication three years ago."

"Comic World Gogo" has been published for so many years, so naturally this is not the first time that it has encountered such a sudden suspension of publication.

After all, everyone may have their ups and downs.

A little hope suddenly rose in Yang Dahai's eyes, "Which editor in charge of monthly or semi-monthly magazines now knows which teacher has manuscripts?"

He looked at the six editors. "Comics World Gogo" currently has four semi-monthly works and eight monthly works.

These six editors, including Ayumi Ito, are the editors responsible for these works.

Theoretically speaking, the serialization tasks of monthly and semi-monthly magazines are not that heavy. It is completely possible to save manuscripts every half a month or even a month between updates.

However, four editors responsible for both bimonthly and monthly publications smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

"It's impossible for Teacher Yingyue to save manuscripts. I even have to call and even come to your door every month to urge manuscripts."

"Teacher from the Phoenix Academy, too. He even announced a pigeon in the last serial."

"Yes, several teachers of the monthly magazine are like this. They can't find anyone at all. Let alone depositing manuscripts, the manuscripts for the next serial issue may not be submitted."

……

In contrast to the semi-monthly cartoons where most of the cartoonists are newcomers, the cartoonists working on the monthly cartoons are basically veterans.

They are still some old oilies who have famous works and are very popular. They have achieved financial freedom. It is really troublesome for them to submit their manuscripts.

These old-timers may even become a show-off in the future. After communicating with the editors in advance and arranging other works to replace their serialization positions, one day they may suddenly announce that they will suspend publication indefinitely.

So asking these old bastards to save manuscripts is the same as asking old thief Togashi when he will resume serialization.

Yang Dahai was very helpless, and he knew this very well.

It is simply unrealistic to expect a few teachers from Monthly.

But just then...

"Chief Editor! Mr. Qingshan has a manuscript!"

Everyone present looked at... Ito Ayumi.

Xu Zhexuan also looked at Ayumi Ito beside him at this moment. In fact... he also wanted to say that Yang Shu must have saved the manuscript.

After all, this is the weekly serialization position!
From a semi-monthly publication to a weekly publication, not only will cartoonists receive more royalties.

Even the plots that are serialized every week will greatly increase the popularity.

But he, who recently helped Yang Shuzhun improve the plot of "Psychic Warlock", knew very well that in order to improve the plot of "Psychic Warlock".

Yang Shuzhun almost didn't have time to draw a new episode.

Even if there is, he will feel tired after working day and night to improve the plot during this period, and he will have to rest.

Therefore, "Psychic Warlock" has no manuscript at all.

There is no way to compete for this weekly serialization opportunity.

Speaking of which, who serious comic book author would draw and save manuscripts in advance?

Isn’t this kind of person who has archived manuscripts mentally ill? !
When Yang Dahai heard this, he was overjoyed, "In this case, then Teacher Qingshan's "Edge Walker" will temporarily replace "All Gods" in the weekly position."

"Ayumi, go and inform Mr. Aoyama and ask him to submit the manuscript at least tonight."

He didn't mean to let "Edge Walker" directly replace "All Gods Are Not Open" in the weekly position.

But temporarily.

After all, the typesetting will be sent to major printing plants in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, so this is also a temporary measure.

"Edge Walker" really wants to directly replace "All Gods Are Not Open" in the weekly position, unless...

The weekly serialization of "Edgewalker" is quite popular.

"Yes! I will immediately inform Teacher Qingshan and ask him to submit the manuscript today."

Ayumi Ito cheered up and said.

In this way, the official website of the comic company, the official media and the new issue of "Comic World Gogo" explained the situation that the author of "Wan Shen Mo Kai" has stopped publishing due to illness, and issued condolences and follow-up messages to the author. help.

At the same time, it was announced that "Edge Walker" will replace the current weekly serialization of "All Gods Are Not Open".
