Chapter 704: North-South Suppression
Theoretically speaking, all magazines are enemies and colleagues are enemies.
However, everyone's internal competition is internal competition. Once the North and South factions are involved, everyone will automatically form an alliance.
Traditional literature in the south is mainly concentrated in Hunan, while traditional literature in the north is mainly concentrated in Yanjing.
Dajiang Literature's "Cute Warriors" gained a good reputation after being serialized, which rekindled the fighting spirit of various magazines in Shanghai and southern China that had been suppressed by northern traditional literature.
Everyone is thinking about how they can take advantage of the victory, catch up with the magazines in Yanjing at one time, and then trample them permanently.
Some magazines have even suggested that He Maokun, the editor-in-chief of Dajiang Literature, take the lead in organizing a celebration banquet with major magazines in southern Shanghai.
On the one hand, it is to celebrate the good results of "Cute Warrior", on the other hand, it is to let everyone know that the traditional literature in southern Shanghai will eventually suppress the northern literature.
Although He Maokun also thought so in his heart, he felt that the celebration banquet was too early. He hoped that the sales volume of "Cute Armor Warrior" would reach a higher level, which even if a magazine in Yanjing rose up, it would not be able to catch up.
It's not too late to have a celebration banquet.
Although they were in the south, they did not lag behind at all about the news from major magazines in the north. They inquired about everything clearly.
He Maokun had long inquired about the status of Yuedu Magazine in traditional Yanjing literature, including which writers in their magazine had serialized articles that sold well and were sought after by readers.
Which great gods have passed away? Although they are famous, their works are no longer attractive and they are no longer what they used to be.
They also found out that Yuedu Magazine did not have writers who were good at fairy tales. Their original readership was older, but the books published through Yuedu Magazine included books for young people.
But generally these authors only have a cooperative relationship, and even if they can write works that young people like, they may not be able to write content that readers in the age group of 10 to 18 will like.
The group of young readers will still be firmly in the hands of Dajiang Literature.
After He Maokun investigated Yuedu, he was very confident. This turnaround battle must be fought beautifully, and Yuedu will not be given any chance to turn around. As long as he captures this age group, he can compete with Yuedu in the future.
.
Just like there are almost no secrets between the major magazines and screenwriting departments of Yanjing and Hunan Za, their news is also transmitted very quickly.
Almost as soon as the major editors-in-chief in Yanjing had finished their meeting, Hunan received the news at the same time.
Yuedu is about to fight back and will also serialize works targeting teenagers aged 10 to 18, and it will be comics.
As soon as this news came out, it caused quite a stir in Hunan.
They have been suppressed and beaten by their counterparts in Yanjing for these years, and they just had some hope of victory. Before the celebration banquet could be held, they had already started to fight back.
Several impatient chief editors jointly applied for a video conference.
The Southern Literary Alliance is headed by Dajiang Literature. Although He Maokun thinks this matter is not that serious, everyone thinks that he must organize it.
As soon as the video conference started, the editors-in-chief couldn't sit still.
"I heard that Yue Du is taking action."
"And it's a comic series. Comics are very attractive to young readers."
"Oh, let me tell you, those old guys in Yanjing won't sit still and wait for death."
He Maokun quietly listened to everyone's complaints. When everyone had finished speaking and everyone looked at him expectantly, he slowly spoke.
"Have you all seen the comic strips in Yuedu Magazine?"
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.
They all just heard that Yuedu was going to publish a comic series. They had just received the news. Not to mention reading it, it had not been serialized yet.
"No, I didn't look at it."
"They haven't started serializing it yet."
"I've only heard about it, I don't know what the comics are like."
Several chief editors whispered.
He Maokun glanced at everyone on the screen calmly, "Since they haven't even read it, there is nothing to worry about. They may not know what the comics are like, but they only know that our "Cute Armor Warrior" has a good reputation.
I am anxious to let it out. Maybe the project will be difficult to produce by then. Even if it is difficult to produce, the quality will not necessarily be very high. It is almost impossible to create a work that surpasses "Cute Warriors" in such a short period of time. Teacher Zeng Xiaorong has prepared
It took half a year to achieve the current results.β
He Maokun's words were like a reassurance, calming down the minds of the chief editors who were restless just now.
"Yeah, they haven't even drawn the comics yet, so there's nothing to worry about."
"What value can a work that is improvised have to be read?"
"I guess Yue Du got flustered after learning about "The Cute Warrior", so how about improvising?"
"Maybe it's not as high quality as the works we produce."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, let's go."
"Let's break up. I'm very busy here."
"Lao Li, your magazine is about to close down. What are you busy with?"
"Nonsense, your magazine is about to close down."
Editors-in-chief went offline one after another.
...
The news, which is known to everyone in Hunan, has been spread on the forum for a long time.
There are not many people in the younger age group playing on the forum, and children aged at least 11 or 12 years old generally do not post on the forum.
Therefore, they generally will not read "Cute Warriors", or even if they buy it and take a look, they will never become loyal readers.
So there is only one reason for them to discuss in the forum, and that is to watch the fun.
As readers, they are willing to see the competition between Yanjing and Hunan.
Because there is competition, better works will be produced. At the same time, the most interesting thing is when literati fight.
"I heard that Yuedu will be making new moves soon."
"The response is pretty fast, but who knows the quality of the work?"
βIn recent years, the quality of Yuedu serial content has also fluctuated.β
"Don't forget they signed Aimang."
"When will Aimang's works be aimed at children? They have a spiritual core and are meant for adults."
""Slam Dunk"! My cousin is a junior high school student and watches it with gusto every day."
"That's just for the kids to see. The main crowd is definitely not them."
"This time Hunan is going to win. The editors-in-chief of Yanjing are probably going to lose their hair now."
...
Three days later.
Lin Yu handed the last manuscript to Kang Bo.
Kangbo's small team paints very quickly. Every time they receive a job, it's like getting a shot of blood. Several friends work overtime to paint.
There are two main reasons why Lin Yu is willing to cooperate with them. The first is that they have high professional quality and can always complete Lin Yu's requirements perfectly and quickly. The other reason is that they are obedient.
Kangbo's obedience is not just a mindless follower, but a person who can give reasonable suggestions and at the same time complete the task perfectly.
Lin Yu and Gao Xiang talked on the phone for the last time, and after agreeing to him, they stopped contacting each other.
