Started as a comics editor

Chapter 164 Something’s not right
awkward.

For Rumi's mother, it doesn't exist.

How can this be more important than money?

As a senior executive of the Star Chaser Society, she certainly knew about ANF's recent movements, especially their comics section that had caused a lot of controversy in the circle.

For online serialization.

Of course, Rumi's mother sneered in disgust.

But she is very interested in the collaboration between comics and FGO.

Because FGO is the first second-generation game, and a second-generation game that rose to fame thanks to comics, it has always been the focus of relevant publishing houses.

As long as you are willing to analyze it, it is easy to see that this Christmas version of FGO has reached a higher level in terms of popularity and players than when it was first released.

And there was the assistance of the first-day revenue that Lin Shuang revealed at the beginning.

Many people are certain that the Christmas version of this game will have a turnover of at least hundreds of millions on the day it is released!

Although it is the Christmas version, there is more than one card pool.

Instead, three new card pools were launched.

But even if it's an average, the first-day turnover of a single card pool is still tens of millions.

Who is not moved by this?
If given the chance, who wouldn’t want their work to be linked to their games?

Not to mention, Rumi itself is very famous and its works are also very popular, the two added together.

hiss--

What makes people worry is nothing more than the issue of the profit sharing ratio... As long as the ratio is high enough, what's the difference between this and giving money away for free?
Why not seize this opportunity!

This is also the reason why Rumi's mother was so excited and agreed quickly.

In fact, they have discussed this matter internally within their publishing house.

I just contacted Avalon and basically got no response.

Because Tang Yao was very busy, she really couldn't take care of this kind of thing for some time.

Just didn't expect it.

There was no response from Avalon some time ago.

This time, he came to me on his own initiative.

Ru Mi's mother was of course excited...as for the previous put-down.

Just a joke.

However, seeing that Tang Yao and Li Xue were both looking at her, Ru Mi was really embarrassed, so embarrassed that she wished she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment from under the table.

I was clearly acting in an unlikely manner just now.

Now my mother is blinded by money.

They all seem to be putting on airs...

So she immediately refused her mother's request to come over immediately, saying that she was still chatting, and then hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Ahem."

After putting down the phone.

Rumi reached out and smoothed her long hair, then blushed and said, "It seems like there's a chance..."

Tang Yao said subconsciously: "Yeah, I heard it."

Ru Mi: “…”

She directly expanded the three-bedroom, one-living room apartment into a five-bedroom, two-living room apartment.

"So, does Mr. Rumi have time to write the script after the collaboration?"

Tang Yao also noticed that she was a little embarrassed, so she smiled and changed the subject.

"do you have any requests?"

Ru Mi barely suppressed her embarrassment, raised her head and asked.

She also knew that once her mother had said that, the cooperation was basically a done deal and they could indeed continue the discussion.

"The requirements... are that the story adhere as closely to the FGO setting as possible, and also that you write a chapter that connects with the FGO world. It doesn't have to be too long, but you should try to explain as clearly as possible why the characters from 'Nightfall' appear in the FGO world. Try to use Rumi-sensei's style as much as possible, and it would be even better if readers can tell that it was written by Rumi-sensei."

Tang Yao thought for a moment and replied, "By the way, if you have any requirements for your character's portrait, appearance, lines, etc., you can also ask. You can also draw the portrait yourself."

"These...can't you handle them internally?"

Rumi was a little curious: "For example, you can also write it, right? Why does it have to be me?"

“This is your work.”

Tang Yao shook her head slightly. "Since it's a collaboration, sincerity is of course necessary. After all, most of the players attracted by the collaborative card pool will definitely be your readers. I can't imitate your style... If we just borrow the shell of your work, the collaboration will not make much sense."

"..."

Ru Mi suddenly realized, and then thought of the manufacturers who bought her works and wanted to make second-hand products, with a complicated expression.

How are you going to compete with FGO for players?

When collaborating with other parties, the first thing they think about is satisfying the readers as much as possible.

"I see. I've been playing FGO a lot lately, and I have some ideas."

Ru Mi's embarrassment gradually disappeared, and she began to discuss the matter seriously with Tang Yao.

She was already very interested in FGO.

Tang Yao had also worked as an editor before, and coupled with her experiences in her previous life, she was quite familiar with the comics field.

So the two of them chatted quite well, and even discussed the interconnected plot on the spot.

On the contrary, Li Xue had no say in the matter.

The only thing discussed during this period was the issue of the single volume.

Rumi promised to bring this up when the time comes, and said it wasn't a big deal, since Zhuxingshe also had external publishing partnerships.

She couldn't get a word in.

Li Xue was a little amused and helpless.

Tang Yao and Rumi chatted for about an hour.

"..."

When Rumi's mother called for the third time.

Rumi finally stopped, took the last sip of coffee, and then looked at Tang Yao, saying with full admiration, "You're amazing! You're so young..."

She felt like she had met a soulmate.

Because Tang Yao feels like she knows everything.

Comics, games, plot control, drawing techniques, storyboards...

"No, you're more capable. I'm looking forward to your participation in the storyline."

Tang Yao smiled and shook her head slightly.

The reason why she can speak so well is mainly because of her experience from her previous life.

Rumi hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "Then... can I go to Avalon to take a look? During production? If there's anything wrong, I should be able to see it on the spot and help with the revisions."

She didn't make this request with much confidence.

Because she knows very well that, generally speaking, across industries, the original author's comments will be disliked.

Tang Yao agreed immediately: "Sure, I'll let you know when the time comes."

"Really?"

Rumi's eyes lit up and her body leaned forward slightly.

If it was an ordinary partner, she would never make such a request.

After all, she didn't want to be flattered in front of others and called an idiot behind her back...

But Avalon is different. As for what’s different, maybe it’s because of the game, or maybe it’s because of Tang Yao.

In short, she was quite interested.

"Of course, you can come over anytime you have time."

Tang Yao nodded seriously.

She was worrying about how to make the style of the linked card pool different from the previous ones.

Now the original author is watching, the free labor...would be wasted if it weren't used.

"Then let me say thank you first."

Rumi laughed when she heard that, then glanced at her phone and said apologetically, "But I have to leave now..."

Tang Yao expressed her understanding.

Obviously, formal cooperation needs to be discussed with her mother first.

So the two of them agreed on a time to formally discuss cooperation.

Ru Mi exchanged a few words of greeting and left.

Come with excitement and leave with satisfaction.

Tang Yao watched the other person leave, then subconsciously picked up the cup and wanted to take a sip of coffee, but found that it was finished.

She was stunned and put down the cup.

Just as she put it down, someone next to her handed her a cup.

Tang Yao turned to look at Li Xue, thanked her, then took her coffee and took a sip.

"So... who are the fans anyway?"

After Li Xue put down her hand, she suddenly asked with a mixture of laughter and tears.

Tang Yao held the coffee and pretended to be stupid: "Isn't it you?"

"Who just chatted with the other person for an hour?"

Li Xue's tone was a little unusual: "Are you still talking so hard?"

"No...well."

Tang Yao was about to speak when her face was held in her hands.

Li Xue imitated Tang Yao's actions yesterday, holding her face and looking at her lips that were particularly moist from the coffee: "I'll sit next to you too..."

Tang Yao smiled suddenly.

How vindictive.

at the same time.

If I were to come back and ask about the single volume, I would like to ask about it, as I had just forgotten about it.

But as soon as she turned back, she saw Li Xue holding Tang Yao's face, as if she was about to kiss her...

At the same time, he noticed that Tang Yao was holding Li Xue's cup.

She suddenly stopped moving, and her pupils trembled violently.

Not quite right.

She immediately backed away stealthily.

Then, he hid at the door, ignoring the strange looks from other guests, and secretly observed while holding onto the door frame.

It doesn't feel right...but I'm a little excited!
