This childhood sweetheart has a problem

Chapter 223 Competitors
In order to appease her male readers, martial arts fans, Xu Qingru's new work "Swordsman" was finally published in the magazine, but in the end, she didn't even get the color page treatment. The readers who didn't know thought that Xu Qingru was just a lucky man who had just been published in the magazine. A newcomer cartoonist serialized in the magazine "Legend of Jingu. Wuxia".

The most important reason is that, not long ago, a high-ranking person in the publishing group to which "Legends of the Ancient Times. Martial Arts" magazine was affiliated had transferred the editor-in-chief Ding Yixiang, and then transferred his cronies, the deputy named Liu Liqun The editor-in-chief was promoted to the editor-in-chief.

However, Ding Yixiang has done a very good job over the years. It is obviously not an easy task to transfer this editor-in-chief who has made great contributions without any reason.

Moreover, the transfer of Ding Yixiang will also use the term "promotion". Such things as "rising in the open and falling in the dark" are not only common in officialdom, but also in large groups.

The high-ranking person named "Hong Bo" wasted so much energy and made such a big move because he was very optimistic about the development of martial arts comics. Before that, the sales of "Legends of the Ancient Times. Martial Arts" had further increased, and the income created was even more astonishing. It seemed to be the golden age of martial arts. The arrival of , which made him determined to do a big job in this field!
However, Ding Yixiang, the editor-in-chief of "Legends of the Ancient Times. Martial Arts", did not cooperate at all. He was always reluctant to ask the editor-in-chief to put pressure on Xu Qingru. The most important pillar-level author of "Martial Arts" must not be too persuasive to Xu Qingru, he must win over Xu Qingru...

This made Hong Bo furious, what the hell is Xu Qingru?
He believes that "Legends of the Ancient and Modern Times. Martial Arts" is enough to have the Dinghaishenzhen "Jianjian Chunqiu Xing". Although Xu Qingru has "proved the Tao" through two works of the Condor Shooting series, he can't even get a really super popular movie. There are no full-length works, but this author still enjoys various privileges, and the most important point is that this author will not compromise on copyright!

Hong Bo is very jealous of Xu Qingru's copyright income from the Condor Shooting series of martial arts works, because they are very suitable for adaptation. A person in a high position like him, of course knows how much interest is contained in the copyright of comics, but unfortunately he can only watch!

All of this prompted him to make up his mind - he wanted to completely control "Legends of the Ancient Times: Martial Arts", and use some seemingly lucrative but harsh contracts to tie up talented authors and take the benefits of the copyright into his pocket Among them, it is possible to make concessions in terms of magazine serialization fees and monographs.

After he paid a huge exchange of benefits, Ding Yixiang, the editor-in-chief who discovered the talented creator Xu Qingru and made great contributions, was finally "promoted" not long ago and entered the headquarters of the publishing group with a higher position and higher salary. Tripled, but the position is vacant...

Ding Yixiang is also open-minded. At the celebration of his promotion, he admitted frankly that he was tired after struggling in the field of martial arts comics for so long. Being an editor is better than being an ordinary reader, so that he can enjoy the purity of watching comics. hapiness.

Xu Qingru's editor-in-charge, Zhou Fang, is also Ding Yixiang's direct descendant. Ding Yixiang's promotion and Liu Liqun's succession made her feel very sad.

It's not that she doubts Liu Liqun's ability, she just thinks that the other party is too strong and domineering, and he is more vigorous and resolute in his actions. She doubts whether Liu Liqun can coordinate everyone well. No sand.

And Ding Yixiang is a very energetic person. Even though he knows the reason for his "promotion", he still holds a glass of wine and blesses Liu Liqun who will succeed him. This kind of heart really makes people have to admit it.

However, after Liu Liqun took over as the editor-in-chief, he didn't make any big moves immediately. Instead, he first entertained the editors to gather people's hearts, and then went to meet several great gods and popular comics alone, including the author of "The Spring and Autumn Journey" Home……

His attitude was very approachable, and he immediately won the favor of many editors and authors. Everyone felt that he was not a bad successor to Ding Yixiang.

But Liu Liqun just ignored Xu Qingru. Obviously, he had had enough of this wayward author. Coupled with the will of the big man behind him, the first decision he made was to suppress Xu Qingru's new serial "Swordsman".

For this kind of behavior, some editors dare not speak out, even if they have some complaints in their hearts. After all, they are the new editor-in-chief, and this new official will always burn three fires when he takes office.

The cartoonist that Liu Liqun is promoting is Li Hongliang, the winner of this year's Newcomer Award. Both Xu Qingru and Jiang Xue have been judges for this year's Newcomer Award. This newcomer creator named Li Hongliang is indeed talented. He is only 24 this year. Aged with unlimited potential.

Then Liu Liqun confidently believed that as long as he won Li Hongliang, he could completely replace Xu Qingru, so he specially arranged for the new serialization of "Rookie King" Li Hongliang to collide with Xu Qingru's "Swordsman".

On the one hand, it was his overwhelming promotion of Li Hongliang's works, and on the other hand, he spared no effort to suppress "Swordsman". In the end, in the first round of the popularity survey, Li Hongliang ranked third, while Xu Qingru only ranked fifth...

Then Liu Liqun announced in high spirits at the editorial meeting that "Legends of the Ancient and the Past: Martial Arts" had produced another real manga genius, and he was Mr. Li Hongliang, because his new serialization ranking surpassed Xu Qingru's in popularity.

Liu Liqun's claim caused some editors to slander. Li Hongliang and Xu Qingru's publicity treatment is so different. If Li Hongliang can't surpass Xu Qingru in the popularity ranking of the first episode, he will probably feel ashamed.

"In fact, I really appreciate Mr. Xu Qingru's works, but the quality of his new serial "Swordsman" is really not very good. The data of the popularity survey can already explain the problem. After I become the editor-in-chief, whether it is Whether it’s a rookie cartoonist or an experienced cartoonist, everything is based on performance, if the popularity survey of "Swordsman" continues to decline, then I will mercilessly kill this work!" Liu Liqun said loudly.

Zhou Fang looked at the domineering Liu Liqun, and suddenly thought of a word called "seeing with a poor dagger".

"The quality of Teacher Xu Qingru's work has declined so severely because there is no senior editor in charge, so if "Swordsman" is cut in half, I hope she can return to the right track and use the correct method to create super popular long-form works. It has the same worldview as "Shooting the Condors." Liu Liqun finally expressed his ultimate goal.

It's a pity that the popularity of "Swordsman" did not decline as he imagined...
