Transformed into a comic book artist

When Su Xian'er was still discussing virtual singers with Qu Fan and Chen Rui at Bilibili, Zhao Jing was eagerly waiting for Su Xian'er's call.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't get a call. He picked up the phone and was about to call, but he thought about it and decided not to. Maybe Su Xian'er was discussing copyright issues with Chen Rui. If he called now, it would be bad to disturb the other party.

Just when Zhao Jing was a little anxious, a middle-aged man came to Tencent Comics.

When Zhao Jing saw this person, he was stunned, then stood up and smiled, "Old Yue, why are you here?"

Editor Yue smiled slightly and greeted, "Can't I come to chat with you if I have nothing to do?"

As he said, he thought of something, and the sadness between his eyebrows could not be stopped.

"Sit down." Seeing this, Zhao Jing couldn't help laughing and said, "You are so busy recently, why are you still chatting with me? But I heard that there have been some major changes within the China Literature Group this year. How are you? Is it because of this?"

"It's okay, it's just the integration of Chuangshi and Qidian. There are some overall changes, but this matter ended half a year ago." Editor-in-Chief Yue teased, "Old Zhao, you are a little out of touch with the news!"

Yue Zhong and Zhao Jing were close neighbors when they were young. They went to the same school before college. Although they went to different schools after college and have been separated for family reasons, they still get together from time to time. To be honest, they both work for Tencent. Although they are not from the same company, this does not prevent them from contacting each other frequently.

Although one is the editor-in-chief and the other is the editor-in-chief, their identities are not a barrier to communication.

"I've been busy lately." Zhao Jing said with a smile, "Okay, since you're worried, I won't chat with you anymore. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Yue Zhong coughed and said, "I heard that you Tencent Animation has launched a Miaobi?"

This seemed to touch Zhao Jing's nerves, and he looked at him with a vigilant look and said, "I say, you won't set your sights on Miaobi, right? Everything is fine, but Miaobi is the treasure of Tencent Animation, don't have any crooked thoughts."

Rolling his eyes, Yue Zhong said unhappily, "You are from the animation circle, and I am from the novel circle. What crooked thoughts do you think I would have? I just want to ask Miaobi for help with something. If it works, Tencent Animation can also benefit from it."

"That's right." Zhao Jing thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief. Now when Su Xian'er is mentioned, he has to get nervous. There is no way Tencent Animation still has to rely on her to rise.

Although this is a bit exaggerated, as long as you are in this circle, you won't think it's exaggerated.

"It's like this. After the integration of Yuewen half a year ago, I became the editor-in-chief of the Qidian Urban Channel." Yue Zhong said this with a little pride. There are two channels with the largest traffic on Qidian, one is fantasy and the other is urban.

Being the editor-in-chief of the urban channel means being recognized by the higher-ups. Yue Zhong always instructs his editors-in-charge on the discovery of outstanding authors.

But just three months ago, Yue Zhong was transferred to the light novel channel.

That whole day, Yue Zhong was not feeling well and was very depressed.

The light novel channel is a new channel that was newly developed after the integration of Yuewen this year.

The low traffic means that this requires the joint efforts of the editor-in-chief and the editors-in-charge of this channel.

In normal times, since they are all colleagues, he doesn't need to ask at all. Just from the sad face of the editor-in-chief of the light novel channel every day, you can see how bad this channel is.

As a result, three months ago, the editor-in-chief of the light novel channel resigned!

The editors-in-charge of the light novel channel are all newly recruited editors-in-charge, so they are not qualified for the position of editor-in-chief at all, so he was transferred there.

Three months, three months, Yue Zhong went from being full of self-satisfaction to being almost the same as the editor-in-chief who resigned, with a sad face every day.

If you don't know the light novel channel, you don't know how bad the traffic of this channel is.

Although there has been some improvement under the editor-in-chief in the past three months, it is only a little bit, and the other party couldn't stand it and left directly.

There is no way, the salary of an editor is not high, but the headquarters of Yuewen is in Shanghai, where the consumption level is so high. If the performance at work is not up to standard, it is a dead salary, so after only three months, the editor-in-chief resigned.

When Yue Zhong was qualified to be the editor-in-chief of the light novel channel, he was directly desperate.

He has basically used all means such as poaching masters from other novel websites, promoting books, etc., but it is useless and can't be promoted.

If you want to say that the quality of the text is poor, as an editor for so many years, Yue Zhong does not think these novels are bad, but no one reads them.

A month later, Yue Zhong realized that it was a problem of traffic.

Because the traffic of the light novel channel is low, very low! So even if the novel is recommended, if no one clicks into this page, then naturally the novel cannot be seen.

If the novel cannot be seen, how can the performance be good?

So seeing many authors who were abandoned, even the great author he poached was also cut because of performance reasons. Of course, since it was a buyout, a random ending was given. He still remembered what the author said on QQ.

"Although you gave me such a high buyout price, my original intention of writing novels was to be read by others, but now that I have been poached here by you, I will lose readers. As a result, the traffic of this channel is so low, and there are not many readers. Even if I get the buyout money, I am very unhappy to write. I'm sorry!"

When Yue Zhong told him about this situation, Zhao Jing sympathized with him, but was a little confused, "What does this have to do with Teacher Miaobi? Are you going to ask her to write a novel?"

"I want her to help draw illustrations for a novel!" Yue Zhong said his purpose, "This is a bold attempt of mine. If it doesn't work, I have to resign and find a new company to join."

After saying this, Yue Zhong was extremely helpless.

There was no way, he had to make a living, and if it didn't work, he could only resort to this last resort.

And it was his careful decision to ask Su Xian'er to draw illustrations. He decided to pick a book and try this route.

In the past, light novels also had illustrations, but due to the style of painting, now as long as there are illustrations in a novel, it will be a sudden death.

Because now when reading novels, readers will automatically imagine, if you give a muscular woman, who can read it?

However, the illustrations directly depict the appearance of the characters in the novel, saving readers' imagination and avoiding some readers' misunderstanding of the appearance of the characters. The paintings of some scenes are more attractive to readers.

When readers choose light novels, illustrations are often the most impressive. In other words, if the illustrations are of high quality, you don't even need to read the novels. Just promoting the illustrations can attract a lot of readers. Of course, the quality of the novels must also be up to standard.

The reason for this idea is that Yue Zhong has read "Suxian Series" and "Book of Life and Death". He is very optimistic about Miaobi, a genius cartoonist who emerged out of nowhere and is known as the "Comic Princess".

Of course, the reason why he knows each other is because of "The Saint". After all, the fantasy novel "The Saint" has exploded in the data of Qidian. As a result, the comics industry has heard that the comic of the same name adapted from "The Saint" was suppressed by the "Suxian Series".

This made him understand it when he was interested before, and Zhao Jing would talk to him from time to time.

Zhao Jing looked at her with sympathy, and then said helplessly, "I think you may have made a wasted trip... You don't understand Miaobi's personality, she is very..." After a pause, he continued, "willful!"

Yes, in Zhao Jing's eyes, Su Xian'er is very willful, doing things completely based on her preferences. Fortunately, she is responsible and usually completes what she promised, so this kind of personality makes him like her.

After all, in his eyes, she is almost like his daughter.

Little girls, willfulness, tsundere, etc., are all plus points.

"Let me make a phone call for you, if not, I can't do anything." Seeing Yue Zhong looking like he was about to die, Zhao Jing laughed dumbly, "It depends on whether you can convince the other party."
