Chapter 342: New Magazine

Li Qin went home soon. She was surprised and happy to see Chen Jie at home, and then took away Meng Huo's dominance.

Chen Jie spent the last few days talking with Li Qin. Li Qin seemed reluctant to leave. Originally, Chen Jie was about to leave at noon on the ninth day of the lunar month, but Li Qin insisted on keeping her at home for supper, and then called the driver to take Chen Jie back to school.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the mother and son bid farewell to Chen Jie at the door.

"No matter how nervous you are in high school, you must come over when you have time." Li Qin helped Chen Jie tie a scarf with her own daughter, and said spoiledly: "Don't study too hard. When you want to come over, call your aunt. Auntie prepares you some delicious food, just to replenish your body... You have lost some weight recently."

"Thank you aunt."

Chen Jie said with red eyes that she and Li Qin had always had a good relationship, but when Meng Huo was not at home, the relationship between them became even further. Meng Huo didn't know what happened to them, but in the past two days he found that Li Qin and Shen Jie were getting along more closely than him, which even made him feel a little unhappy...

"Madam, Master, I will take Miss Chen Jie away first..."

When the driver said goodbye to the mother and son, Meng Huo walked out: "Let me give her a ride together,"

His words surprised the other three people. Li Qin stared at her son with a shocked face. He would take the initiative to send Chen Jie back to school. Why did he suddenly change his gender today?

"Is the elm's head open?"

This thought flashed in his mind, but Li Qinlei saw it happening. She looked at Meng Huo getting into the car with a smile, and Chen Jie on the car was also very surprised. Her eyes were shining, but unfortunately Meng Huo got into the car was as cold as usual. She just said one sentence.

"I was so bored at home, I just went out for a walk..."

Chen Jie was a little disappointed, but no matter what, it was a good thing for Meng Huo to accompany her more, making her happy all the way.

The car drove to Ninghai No. 1 Middle School, Chen Jie got out of the car and took her luggage, then said goodbye to Meng Huo, and left lightly.

"Young Master, what are you going to do next?"

The driver asked.

"Stroll around and I'll see if there's anything to do."

Meng Huo replied that he sat in the car to watch the night in Ninghai, but in the end he still didn't find anything to do, so he went home.

When he got home, Li Qin smiled and prepared a cup of hot milk for him.

"How could you take the initiative to send Chen Jie off today?" she said: "What happened in the past few days?"

"Nothing happened."

Meng Huo drank milk and replied: "Mom. Do you like Chen Jie very much?"

"She is a good child." Li Qin smiled and said, "Smart, obedient, and pragmatic. She will be a good wife. I think you can think seriously."

Her son is already an adult, and Li Qin is not afraid to talk about these topics now. She is eighteen years old and she thinks it's time for Meng Huo to find a girlfriend.

"I understand... Mom. I'll go take a shower first."

After drinking milk, Meng Huo said, turning around and walking towards the bath room. Li Qin liked Chen Jie, and the way they got along was really close, which made Meng Huo a little shaken - although Li Qin gave him freedom, Meng Huo would definitely not find a woman who couldn't get along well with her mother-in-law. In this regard, Chen Jie is very suitable.

Meng Huo didn't have much time to accompany Li Qin. So he hoped to marry a home-based woman. Moreover, he didn't hate Chen Jie. As time went by, he became more and more unhateful of this girl, and even the coldness at the beginning was difficult to sustain.

If Chen Jie chooses, he may be able to cut off Alice's idea.

"Let's see what's going on when she graduates..."

Meng Huo was lying in the bathtub and thinking about it. The past had an impact on him. After self-interpretation during his travels, Meng Huo had a thought - maybe he could get stable by getting married early, get married, have children, and stabilize his family and parents. In the future, he would not think about these things and draw with peace of mind.

However, although Reason thought so, Meng Huo was still unfamiliar with marriage for two lives and had a hint of resistance. The more he thought about emotions and family problems, the more trouble he felt. He sighed and decided not to think about it for the time being. Meng Huo covered his towel on his head and returned his thoughts to the comics again.

The next day, he called Alice to come and receive the article. However, the female editor was still unwilling to meet Li Qin. Although Meng Huo repeatedly said that it was okay, she did not agree.

In desperation, Meng Huo took the manuscript out and met Alice in a quiet coffee shop.

"When did you become so timid?"

As soon as they met, he said with some displeasure.

"This is not timidity, it is guilt." Alice smiled bitterly, looked at the original manuscript in Meng Huo's hand, and asked, "Those are all original manuscripts? That's so thick!?"

The manuscript in Meng Huo's hand was indeed very thick. He finished drawing the plot from the story of "Shana with the Burning Eyes" to the plot of defeating the Red World Faliagni. This was the first major event in the original work. Originally, Meng Huo wanted to finish the plot of the first season of the original animation in one go, but he had to give up because he had too many words.

"Shana with the Eyes?"

Take the comic from Meng Huo, and after seeing the title, Alice came up with the same idea as Shen Jie: "Is this a girl's comic?"

Judging from the name, "Shanna with the Eyes" does not have any shadow of the boy comic, but its content is really a boy comic. Meng Huo briefly introduced the general information of the comic, and then let Alice watch it himself. He ordered coffee beside him and quietly waited for Alice to finish reading it.

Soon, Alice finished watching it in shock.

"This comic is very interesting, Meng Huo, you are so genius!" She said excitedly: "The setting of Power of Existence is very great. The setting of the protagonist is still a person who has been eaten by existence - interesting, and it is very exciting!"

The power of existence is the key setting in "Shana with the Scarlet Eyes". It is the energy to maintain the existence of all things in the world, and it is also the fundamental energy necessary for the "Red Worlds" to show and mobilize their abilities. In order to survive in this world and exert their abilities, the "Red Worlds" attacked humans and devoured humans with the power of existence, thereby obtaining the "Power of existence".

The beginning of "Shana with the Eyes" tells the story of the protagonist being swallowed up and then following a girl to resist these Red World disciples. After all, she is a professional, and Alice can see the charm set in the story at a glance. The plot of this comic is also very good, with a cruel setting, but the plot brings the style of campus love, which is full of fun to read.

"But, isn't this a short story?" Alice frowned and said, "You used a few episodes of the plot to tell a story. Although the story ends, the comic shouldn't end, right?"

"No, your dad didn't tell you?" Meng Huo was a little surprised. Xu Jing didn't tell Alice about these things, but he was not too late to explain now: "The Shake Eyes Shana is not a long story or a short story. I plan to release a story every month. The first ending will be held in a few months."

He took a sip of coffee and said, "But this is just the ending of the first part. I'll start the second part in a year or two.

"The mode is very strange..." Alice understood it, she was a little surprised. Meng Huo's update mode was very strange in the current comics industry: "But forget it. As long as you have confidence... it's good."

After thinking about it, Alice still did not make too much demands on the update model. She was very confident in Meng Huo. Although it was a monthly magazine, wasn’t “One Piece” also launched in the form of a monthly magazine? The monthly magazine could hand over the content of a few episodes directly to readers at the beginning. This model actually looks very satisfying...

"But Meng Huo. If it is a monthly magazine, then don't you have to reopen the "Xi" comic?"

Alice asked. Apart from "Xi" manga, Phoenix Company has no more suitable platform to publish a monthly publication for Meng Huo.

"The "Sigh" has been on hold for a while, and it's time to take it out..."

Meng Huo nodded. He stopped the release of Ximan last year, and now he just happened to be used for serialization of "Shanna with the Eyes".

"That happens, Meng Huo, you choose some comics from "Weekly Boy" and put them on "Xi" comics." Alice's eyes lit up and she said, "If you don't like other people's comics, you can also transfer your works to "Xi" comics and change them to monthly serialization, which can also reduce your work pressure."

Meng Huo was stunned. This time he was very surprised, and quite surprised.

Alice actually suggested that he evacuate the comics to the "Xi" comics serialized. This is incredible. His comics are all popular serialized comics. If they evacuate from the weekly to the monthly magazine, the one who suffers the biggest loss is Phoenix Company.

"Why do you do this?"

He asked.

"Because the company is in trouble now..." Alice put down the original manuscript and smiled bitterly: "I sorted out the company's documents during the Chinese New Year and found that there were too many new cartoonists added last year. We only had two comic magazines. No matter which book can accommodate so many people, it is almost impossible to bear it..."

Phoenix Company has developed quite fast in the past year, but their magazines are only two, "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl". Meng Huo occupies several positions in these two magazines, and the competition for the remaining few serial positions is extremely fierce. The two weekly magazines have been thickened several times in this year, and the selling price has also become higher, which has gradually become a burden for consumers.

Especially after Meng Huo defeated Mantian in the Far East District, all the cartoonists from the Far East District joined in, and now Phoenix Company is even more overwhelmed.

"The purchasers of "Weekly Boy" have stabilized. Meng Huo, your works don't need to be all on it, so "Xi" comics restart... You can pick out a few movies to put them in "Xi" comics and turn them into monthly magazines, giving them more spaces to new cartoonists... Now many young people have met the serialization standards, but they cannot be serialized because they have no position. In the long run, the cartoonists in our company have to jump away."

Alice persuaded.

Meng Huo fully understood the situation and couldn't help but smile and said, "Your method has not solved the problem at all. There is a simpler method. Since the serialization location is not enough, add two more weekly magazines to the existing ones, so that the number of cartoonists can be accommodated will be larger."

"I have thought of this method, but it is too difficult for New Weekly to re-expand the market..."

"If there is any difficulty, separate the comics of popular cartoonists, it is like letting my "One Piece" continue to be serialized in "Weekly Boy" and "Detective Conan" is placed in a new magazine, and readers will gradually divide, and after a while, the new magazine will be able to rise."

Meng Huo said.

Alice was stunned. This was indeed a solution, but this method was very risky. Differentiating comics would make many original readers have opinions and would also cause great losses to Phoenix Company. Phoenix Company is now moving to Su Hua, and its tense is already sensitive. If you do this again, it would be even more dangerous...

"Do it just do it right. Expanding magazines is the top priority in the company's development." Meng Huo saw through Alice's thoughts and said, "Now it's me to host it. We will do it drastically, don't worry, there will be no problem... I plan to create new animations after work... There are a lot of things in the first half of this year, so you must be mentally prepared..."

Making a new animation? Alice was even more surprised. She glanced at the manuscript and said in her heart that it was no wonder. No wonder Meng Huo wanted to launch "Shana with the Eyes" in this form. It turned out that he had no intention of giving up the idea of ​​making an animation.

"I've forgotten that he is a workaholic..."

Alice sighed, but when she saw Meng Huo's steady expression, she thought it was good.

"Okay, let's make a reform for the company!" She stood up and said, "I'll go back and prepare the plan first, and..."
Chapter completed!
