In early February, Phoenix Company had not yet officially started work, but some departments were busy.

The personnel departments in the three regions are the busiest departments, and they have to take advantage of the beginning of the new year to recruit employees. The animation department is second only to the personnel department. They have to work hard to create animations, and some editors and publishers of the comics department have to start preparing to release a new issue of weekly magazines. In addition to them, senior managers are not relaxed, and their eyes are all focused on the new magazines.

It is simple to add two new magazines, but you need to be cautious when doing it. What is the positioning of these two new magazines? How to distinguish them from "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl", and how to divide the readers' preferences and age groups? On the surface, adding two new magazines is the actual difficulty of rebuilding the core business of Phoenix Company.

In the past, there were only two weekly categories of Phoenix Company, one for boys and the other for girls. This classification method no longer conforms to the trend of the development of the times. Both teenagers and girls magazines need to be further subdivided. This subdivision also involves specific personnel allocation, and each magazine is responsible for a new editorial department. In addition to "Xi" comics, a total of four editorial departments are required, and how these editorial departments are arranged is also a big problem.

After a few days of discussion, Phoenix Company concluded that the Far East District manages a comic magazine, Ninghai City manages a movie, while Su Hua City is responsible for the remaining two movies, and several comic magazines are managed separately. Meng Huo did not consider the editorial department of the Far East District, but there are quite a few comic artists in the Far East District, so in order to facilitate the work of receiving articles, it is best to have an editorial department there.

For this matter, Meng Huo also returned to Tokyo. He returned to Tokyo on February 9, 2017. It was also the day when "Weekly Boy" was released.

On that day, in downtown Tokyo, cartoonist Yu Nishikawa bought a magazine from a comic shop near his doorstep. Since the Mantian scandal came out, a large number of cartoonists have switched to Phoenix's cherry blossom company, Yu Nishikawa, which is also one of them. Therefore, he developed the habit of buying "Weekly Boy" every week.

The cover of this issue of "Weekly Boy" was bright red. When the film was torn open, Yu Nishikawa was surprised by the pattern on the cover. This time the cover was a beautiful girl standing with a knife. Her long red hair, red eyes, and awe-inspiring temperament. Bright red flames were flying around her. The entire cover seemed to burn, and she felt a hot illusion in her hand.

"Shana with the Eyes..."

He saw the bright red title in the middle of the cover, and realized that it was a serial trailer. Yu Nishikawa's eyes were immediately attracted by the comic introduction under the title - "Infinite time stops the jump. People burn silently. No one noticed that the world had long been out of track and surrounded by the fire of the Red World..."

This introduction line looks handsome, but as a cartoonist, Yu Nishikawa thinks this introduction is the worst. A new series of introductions do not need to be handsome. The key is to tell readers what kind of comic it is. However, after reading the introduction of "Shanna with the Eyes", people are confused and they don't know what story it is to tell, and they can't even understand the subject matter...

How could such a bad introduction appear in the Weekly Boy, which sells tens of millions? Yu Nishikawa feels strange, and speaking of it, the name "Shana with the Eyes" does not look like a boy comic. The cover character is a woman. The name of the comic is also very feminine. Isn't this a girl comic? Why does the girl comic appear on the cover of Weekly Boy?

His eyes skipped the introduction and then stopped on the author's name.

"What a pity!"

Yu Nishikawa felt a chill in his heart. The comic author was He Xi! No wonder, the people in the editorial department of "Weekly Boy" will not make low-level mistakes. He Xi is a unique pillar of Phoenix Company. Any of his works is qualified to be on the cover of "Weekly Boy", and the introduction is irrelevant to him. Other cartoonists' introductions are not good and easily despised, but He Xi is sought after by a large number of readers even if he doesn't write an introduction!

This time, "Shanna with the Eyes" is weird, but in He Xi, this weirdness is not a disadvantage, but a "mysterious" advantage. He has not launched a new comic book for two years, and this time, a new comic that is inconspicuous suddenly appears. Readers will not only not be disgusted, but will instead feel curious, excited and surprised.

This is the absolute different treatment of popular cartoonists and ordinary cartoonists!

Yu Nishikawa felt a little envious of He Xi, and the comic shop manager on the side couldn't help laughing when he saw his expression.

"Teacher Nishikawa, is Mr. He Xi's new work preview great, right? The cover of "Weekly Girl" yesterday was also the same." The store manager met Yu Nishikawa. He knew that Yu Nishikawa was transferred to Phoenix Company, so he naturally said: "The sales of "Weekly Girl" have increased a lot in the past two days. Mr. He Xi is worthy of being the golden signboard of Phoenix Company. Even the preview can increase sales."

Yu Nishikawa was stunned for a moment, then showed a bitter smile: "Yes..."

He Xi's new work is a good thing for readers, but it is not the case for comics. Yu Nishikawa looked at the trailer on the cover, which read "Shana with the Shake Eyes" on it, which made him feel relieved, but he couldn't be happy - even if "Shana with the Shake Eyes" was released in "Shana with the Shake Eyes" in "Shana with the Shake Eyes" in "Shana with the Shake Eyes" in "Shana with the Shake Eyes" in a while, it will definitely be transferred to "Weekly Boy" or "Weekly Girl" like "One Piece".

This is a nightmare for cartoonists.

Half a year ago, the Far East District saw a big trend of cartoonists joining Phoenix Company. Cartoonists rushed to Phoenix Company with hope. At that time, their relatives, friends, and comics themselves were full of hope for the future. Phoenix Company is one of the top comic companies in China. Its comics are distributed throughout China, which is a world of difference from Mantian, which is limited to the Far East.

A larger stage, a broad market, money and glory coexist. Every cartoonist wants to fight with passion, but after actually joining Phoenix Company, they get a wave of despair.

Phoenix has only two comic magazines, and the total number of serialization locations is only thirty or forty. In addition to He Xi's works, there are other popular serials that have been rooted in the two magazines, leaving less than ten serializers for other cartoonists. In the past six months, hundreds of cartoonists in the Far East District and a large number of new comics on the mainland have been fighting for single-digit serialization locations, and the competition is unprecedented.

Half a year of experience has gradually made cartoonists lose confidence. Recently, in some private places, Yu Nishikawa has heard many cartoonists have the idea of ​​changing jobs. Now, He Xi’s new comics are even more amazing...

"There should be a wave of job-changing next!"

Nishikawa sighed, then picked up the comic magazine and left in a loss. He Xi occupied another serial position, which would become the stone that overwhelmed the last straw. He Xi had more serial positions than hundreds of people, although no one would question his strength. However, this model of Phoenix Company almost cut off other cartoonists' opportunities. It is hard to imagine how many cartoonists would be willing to continue waiting for the illusory serial hope on hungry.

"It's time for me to leave..."

Yu Nishikawa thought so. He had children and daughters and had to rely on comics to make a living. Phoenix Company was really not suitable to continue staying there.

"Just as you said..." When my wife heard his words, she sighed helplessly: "Small companies have the benefits of small companies, so it's better to change jobs early."

When Yu Nishikawa joined Phoenix Company, his wife was the happiest person. But today, his wife also understood that it was difficult for her husband to survive the cruel competition of Phoenix Company, so she also changed her mind. Yu Nishikawa returned to her room to write a resignation letter. He had no disgust for the company, so he used handwriting to express his sincerity and helplessness.

After writing for a long time, the resignation letter was completed. However, just when Yu Nishikawa wanted to call Sakura Company to book a meeting, his phone rang.

"Hey, Teacher Nishikawa, I'm Dongquan!"

The sound on the other side of the phone seemed very excited. Dongquan, he was a cartoonist who was familiar with Nishikawa. Yu Nishikawa was very surprised how he called himself today.

"Teacher Dongquan, is there anything wrong?" he asked.

"Xichuan, I just got an internal news. You will definitely be surprised when you hear it! I heard that Teacher He Xi returned to Tokyo this morning. After he came back, he held a high-level meeting and announced a major news. Guess what the news is?"

"What news? I'm not interested in guessing, you just agree." Yu Nishikawa was very calm. He was about to leave Phoenix Company and didn't care much about the topic of this company.

"You are so boring. The editorial department is the editorial department! Sakura Company is going to form an editorial department of the same size as the mainland, and be responsible for the distribution of a new magazine!" Dongquan was a little excited and said loudly: "Aren't there any rumors before the New Year that the power of Phoenix Company became Teacher He Xi? I really never expected that this matter would be true. Teacher He Xi decided to add two new magazines as soon as he took office. He is so handsome!"

"In a short while, in addition to "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl", we have two other magazines to choose from. The number of serialized comics has doubled, hahaha... dozens of serialized positions are waiting for me, and I can finally get on the serialization. Teacher Nishikawa, cheer, our era has arrived!"

Yu Nishikawa listened to Dongquan's voice in a daze, and his head buzzed.

Two new magazines? The number of serialized comics doubled? Doesn’t this mean... Hundreds of cartoonists compete for dozens of serialized positions?

"So, great!"

He couldn't help but jump up, feeling the coldness in his heart melted by the warm sunshine, and his whole body was trembling with emotion.

After waiting for half a year, it finally came to a result. Yu Nishikawa put down the phone, picked up the resignation letter on the table and started to tear it up. The more he tore, he became happier, couldn't help but pick up his coat, turned around and ran out.

"Dear, it's time to have lunch, what are you going out to do?"
Chapter completed!
