My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 1213 Winter day

In winter, after New Year’s Day, the climate in Hongchuan became colder.

Pedestrians walking on the street, wrapped tightly in cotton clothes, hid themselves in the cotton clothes.

A girl in her early twenties came out of the editorial department of “icFuture”, glanced back at the building behind her, and sighed helplessly.

After the end of “”, the sales of “icFuture” fell all the way. In just 4 months, the sales of magazines fell by 60,000 to 700,000 copies. In addition to the end of “The Demon Road”, the sales fell below 3 million in an instant.

This was hard to imagine before.

But even so, “icFuture” is still China’s largest comic magazine, and the standard for manuscript selection has not been lowered.

Even if she is already familiar with the editor in charge of “icFuture”, she still can’t serialize in “icFuture”.

The editor gave her two paths. First, to read and submit, as one of the best comic platforms in China, light reading is still the best choice for comic lovers; the second is to serve as an assistant to other cartoonists, learn experience, and wait until the work is completed. Come out and submit your paper again.

In fact, there is another way, the editor did not say, but she knows that it is to sign a studio or a comic company, let them negotiate a contract with a comic platform, and draw comics with peace of mind.

But she rejected this approach from the beginning because “the upper limit is too low.”

The income of a work will be divided into layers, and the money that really falls in her hands is only a handful. Instead of doing this, it’s better to go for a fight.

Moreover, despite the various promises made by the Cartoonists Association to mediate the relationship between the cartoonists and the studio, the purpose of the establishment of the studio or the comic company is also to make money. The cartoonists who are truly qualified to be serialized in “icFuture” , They will not let go, the contracts are very deadly signed.

She learned about this from her friends, so she would not take up work in the studio unless she had to do it.

Alas, this meal is really difficult now.

The girl sighed, preparing to temporarily leave the building where “icFuture” is located.

Since she failed to serialize in “icFuture”, she needs to work part-time. After all, she can’t dream of starving to death before it’s completed, right?

At this moment, the door of the building behind was opened, and a woman in a work suit hurriedly walked out of it. She was taken aback when she saw the girl and asked: “I thought you were gone?”

“Uh, I’m about to leave.” The girl was taken aback when she saw the man, and said casually, “Miss Wu, where are you going?”

“I made an appointment with Teacher Lu Ning and Teacher Su Han, and I’m going to talk to them.” Wu Xiaoli said casually.

“Then is their work highly likely to be serialized?”

“Should it be possible?” Wu Xiaoli shook her head, “but there are other well-known cartoonists who are preparing to contribute, and competition is inevitable.”

“Who is there?”

“There is also teacher Qiuqian’s new work, which is also in preparation. I heard that it will be submitted in the next few days. A magazine can only serialize 20 comics. How can the competition not be fierce? So don’t be discouraged, sometimes It’s not necessarily that the work is not good, but sometimes, it really takes luck. If you can stagger the two comics, you may have the chance to serialize your work after revision… But… it’s not always certain. Now “IcFuture” has attracted many good cartoonists. After all, in China, there is only “icFuture” as a platform for comics with an average volume of more than 3 million volumes.”

“That’s it…” After hearing Wu Xiaoli’s words, the girls inevitably lost a moment. After all, the platform and promotional works of “icFuture” are among the best in many domestic platforms, and at the same time, they have the highest income ceiling.

As long as you want to prove yourself, the best place to go is undoubtedly “icFuture”, and the absence of a monster like “” means that “icFuture” will continue to hold a manga to replace “”. In this way, everyone will have a chance. Up.

Therefore, many cartoonists are looking at this opportunity, but inside “icFuture” it is clear that only Shen Xin can fill in this hole.

Seeing the girl’s silence, Wu Xiaoli nodded slightly, “I want to meet the two teachers first…”

“Miss Wu, can you take me there? Can I meet the two teachers? It’s okay to be their assistants.” The girl asked quickly.

“You want to see them?” Wu Xiaoli asked in surprise.

The girl nodded repeatedly.

“Sorry, I want to communicate with them first.”

It was really not polite to take a stranger rashly, and Wu Xiaoli didn’t dare to agree directly.

The girl lightly nodded her head, but she was very worried.

If she can serve as an assistant for a well-known cartoonist, she can accept it, because she can learn something, and she can also ask the other party to check the manga that she prepares for submission.

After communicating with the other party, Wu Xiaoli turned back to the girl and said: “You are really right. The two teachers really lack assistants. Moreover, because Mr. Lu Ning is a female cartoonist, she only needs female assistants.”

“Really?” The girl was overjoyed.

“Yeah. But, I’m going to take the subway. Come here if you want to follow along?”

The girl nodded repeatedly and followed Wu Xiaoli to the subway station.

Lu Ning also moved away from Shen Xin’s studio after “Passing Through Girl” was over, not because Shen Xin didn’t let her work there, but simply because she felt she couldn’t stay any longer.

At that time, she had already saved a lot of money for the rent. Now that she has the funds, she certainly chooses to rent another set.

However, the house she rented was also owned by Shen Xin. It was the studio where Shen Xin serialized “Hire of the Game” and “Steel Refining”. It was not because the price would be discounted, but the environment of the house was really good. There are two small buildings in the big house, and there are also balconies. The workbenches left by Shen Xin’s office are still there, which can save a lot of trouble.

She originally wanted to buy this house but after asking the price, she had to put her tongue out and stopped mentioning the topic.

After so many years, the house price has doubled several times, and the money she saved to buy this house is quite difficult.

Wu Xiaoli knocked on the studio, and a tall woman opened the door.

When the girl saw this woman, she was surprised that the other party’s temperament was excellent, and she also saw her identity-Su Han, a famous author and a home who is good at reasoning.

“Ms. Su came early.” Wu Xiaoli closed the door easily.

“Where? I live here for the time being. There are more empty houses, which is more convenient for us to talk about the name… I had known that the room was so cheap at that time, and I had the same set. I regret it.” Su Han glanced behind Wu Xiaoli The girl from did not make a sound, but turned and walked upstairs, “Lu Ning is also waiting for you upstairs, come here?”

The girl was a little cautious, but followed Wu Xiaoli to the second floor.

First set a small goal, such as 1 second remember: 13
