Chapter 81: Magical Girl Series
Early Thursday morning, Situ Xue, editor-in-chief of "Weekly Girl", stood under the building and nervously tidied up her clothes.
Today she came to discuss the short comics with Teacher He Xi. This matter is related to her future and the future development of "Weekly Girl".
The company launched the column "He Xi's Guidance Room". She didn't expect too much, but yesterday, Ye Xiong, editor-in-chief of "Weekly Boy", met Teacher He Xi. After returning, he actually instructed the entire editorial department to work overtime and study new topics all night.
It is said that it is an unprecedented subject that will have a revolutionary impact on the comics industry. All male editors asked their comics to prepare to contribute, and wanted to seize the opportunity and get the recognition of Teacher He Xi.
Situ Xue still remembers that when she got off work yesterday, she saw the lively scene from the editorial department of "Weekly Boys". The editors gathered together to quarrel and discuss, and everyone was blushing and very lively. In her impression, there was only such a lively scene when the company was established.
Seeing that scene, Situ Xue couldn't sleep well all night. "Weekly Boy" got a miraculous theme from Teacher He Xi. What about "Weekly Girl"? Can Teacher He Xi prepare a second such an excellent theme?
Sighing slightly.
"I can only take one step at a time."
Situ Xue cheered up and turned to ask the woman beside her: "Teacher Hua Meng, is Teacher He Xi easy to talk?"
"Don't worry, editor-in-chief."
Teacher Hua Meng, who led the way, smiled and said, "The others are very good. You can see Teacher He Xi's smiling face when you enter the door."
That's it, but when I really entered the door, Meng Huo, who appeared in front of them, was completely different from usual.
"This is the theme of "Weekly Girl", and the new short story must be written according to the above requirements!"
Meng Huo didn't say anything politely, and handed the information to Situ Xue directly. A chill emanated from his body, which surprised Teacher Hua Meng: "What's wrong with Teacher He Xi?"
But Situ Xue, who saw Meng Huo for the first time, had a different feeling.
"This is Teacher He Xi? It's so terrible."
Her whole body was tingling, Meng Huo's aura was like a wild beast, even stronger than some adults, so she didn't even dare to be surprised by Meng Huo's age, so she hurriedly picked up the information and started reading it.
The name of the information is...
"Magic girl?"
Situ Xue had a brief loss of consciousness, what did magic have to do with the girl?
She continued to watch.
Magical Girl refers to female characters who use magic. It is also a series, and its influence is no less than Gundam. There are many types of magical girls, and Meng Huo elaborated on one of the most important types: transformation-type combat magical girls.
The magic girl with transformation type + combat type is the most used magic girl type since 1990. That is, the story of the protagonist or her and her friends suddenly obtaining transformation power and using their ability to fight against evil forces.
The heroines in this kind of comics are often very ordinary, but they can transform gorgeously at critical moments and fight with beautiful moves. Its story advocates justice to defeat evil. The girls wear sailor suits, Lolita and other costumes, and use various magical battles to the extreme, which completely brings the female cartoonists and readers' preference for beauty to the extreme, and it also attracts the attention of male readers, saying that it is both men and women.
Situ Xue was amazed in her heart. She found that this theme subverted the concept of the current comics industry. It caused the status of female characters to undergo an amazing reversal. They are not weak, just like claiming to the world that 'fights belong not only to men'!
“…”
Situ Xue became more and more surprised the more she looked at it. This theme combines a weak and cute girl with a powerful force, which makes people refreshing. What men are superior to women? In the world of magical girls, it is all women's world.
She could already predict the excited expressions of the girl cartoonists. This theme is very charming. The gorgeous fighting girl fights against evil and saves the prince charming. How many wonderful works can be born!
"No, not worse than "Weekly Boy", no, even better than them!"
Situ Xue thought to herself, and she stood up excitedly, bent down and thanked Meng Huo constantly. Meng Huo's attitude was still very cold, but Situ Xue was already convinced by him.
"By the way, Teacher He Xi, we will pay you for this subject..."
"I know, one percent of the royalty, that's OK."
Meng Huo interrupted that his cold attitude today was because of this incident, and Ye Xiong had already told him the reward.
Xu Jing determined the standard for short stories. The comics produced in "He Xi's Guidance Room" were given 2% of the royalty income within a year to Meng Huo. This reward was very high. Other cartoonists generally had 8% of the royalty, and one-quarter of them were given to Meng Huo.
Although they are not as profitable as Meng Huo, the 2% royalty is amazing. This is the biggest concession between Phoenix and other cartoonists, and Meng Huo has no objection to the amount.
However, what is royalty? It will take several months to get the product after it is released. Meng Huo's comics are very fast, and others are slower than him. It will take half a year to get the first money for a new theme.
Half a year, the bet was over - how could He Qian have time to have the problem?
"That old fox..."
Even after one day, Meng Huo was still indignant. Xu Jing did not allow him to publish new comics, and used this method to delay time. This was obviously going to cause trouble for Meng Huo.
On the surface, Meng Huo won the bet for December with the Gundam series and the Magic Girl series. Even if he wins, Xu Jing will treat him as the heir of Phoenix Company. However, there is no royalty for the new comics, and only the profits created by "The Legend of Goku", "Detective Conan" and "Inuyasha". It should be fine to allow Meng Huo to invest 25% in half a year, but there is no hope at all if he exceeds Xu Jing!
It seems that Meng Huo will win this bet, but Xu Jing will not lose either. Not only did he lose the big head of his shares, he also got a successor in vain.
It’s no wonder Meng Huo felt uncomfortable.
"snort……"
After sending Situ Xue away, Meng Huo snorted coldly, Xu Jing was scheming, and if he didn't find a way, he would be trapped.
He Qian's condition was in late stage after a few years. Now she doesn't know what the situation is, but it will be harmful to her for a long time without any benefit. Meng Huo is grateful to her. He doesn't want to waste time. He can let go of his heart as soon as possible.
The current situation is-
Meng Huo's comics copyright was trapped by Phoenix Company. He could not take it out and publish it for others, otherwise the bet would be invalid. Phoenix Company was very tempted by Meng Huo. He didn't know how many years it would take for him to develop the company himself, so the bet had to be established.
When the bet is established, he will look for loopholes to launch new comics and quickly recover the royalties.
The method can only be serialized online!
(Thanks to Mengying? for the reward and the evaluation tickets of cute cats. If possible, I suggest not to vote for evaluation tickets, exchange for rewards...)
