Started as a comics editor

Chapter 25 Intuition
boom--

Tang Yao turned around and hadn't walked far when she heard the sound of paper folders and other things being thrown off the table behind her.

Obviously, Ding Yillong's defense was broken.

But Tang Yao didn't even look back. To be honest, she was mentally prepared and knew that the editor-in-chief was a despicable person.

But she still didn't expect that the other party would be so shameless.

She had personally reported Ou Congquan's problem the day before yesterday, but he ignored her and now he has the nerve to let her take the blame.

He also showed an attitude of, "What did you write? Explain it to me clearly and then think of a solution."

As editor-in-chief.

Readers eat shit.

Now that I am under pressure, I think about solving the problem.

It’s ridiculous!

the other side.

Shang Tao looked at Tang Yao's back, then turned to look at Ding Yillong, his face full of shock. He didn't know whether he was shocked at Tang Yao's rebellion or at Ding Yillong's attitude of not reading the manuscript and still ignoring it even after the editor told him to do so.

"see it?"

Ding Yilong seemed to notice Shang Tao's gaze, and suddenly froze. Then he slowly turned his head and said breathlessly, "This is my editor! Lawless! I don't know why the HR department arranged for such a person to join the editorial department, but Teacher Ou would draw such a plot! It is definitely related to her! The thing I regret most now is letting her be in charge of the magazine's mainstay cartoonist. I will immediately proceed with the process of dismissing her.

This kind of person is the cancer of the entire editorial department! When problems arise, instead of immediately thinking about solving them, they shirk responsibility and arrogantly confront their superiors. If the vice president saw this kind of editor in person, he would probably immediately understand why such a thing happened.

"..."

Shang Tao looked at the breathless Ding Yillong, and frowned when he heard his words.

He can understand the idea of ​​keeping oneself safe.

After all, people are selfish.

But he was not in the right at all just now, and was speechless after being confronted by the other party. He could only be furious and helpless. Now that the other party has left, he immediately started to shift the blame, as if nothing had happened just now.

It just feels... ridiculous.

Do you really think others are blind?
Shang Tao couldn't help but say, "I remember you met every editor before they started working."

As long as it is a formal company, it is impossible for them to put people in without asking the department head.

"That was my mistake."

"..."

Shang Tao ignored him after hearing this.

Because combined with what Tang Yao just said, he realized one thing.

This Ding Yillong may be the most unreliable person in the entire editorial department!
So Shang Tao no longer wanted to pay attention to him, but looked at Tang Yao's back and fell into deep thought.

He really put a lot of effort into this website. Now that he has encountered such a thing, it would be a lie to say that he is not angry.

He even wanted to kill Ding Yillong and Ou Congquan who were beside him!

Why choose this time to release controversial plots and stir up readers' emotions? Are you crazy?

Even if you're a week late! Just a week late!

But now that things have happened, there is no point in talking about it anymore. The question is how to solve the problem.

He was very reluctant to postpone the launch of the website, because not everyone in the company was optimistic about the new media... If it weren't for Vice President Zhao Fangsheng's strong opposition, the website would not have been launched, and the project might have been stillborn.

If it is really postponed this time, there will be more variables, and who knows what will happen next!
But he also knew... that for a magazine, content and profit were everything. He had no way and no right to interfere with the creation of cartoonists under the content department. He also couldn't just ignore it. Without knowing how Ou Congquan would draw next, he followed President Zhao's idea and promoted the phrase AORI to appease the readers.

It would be fine if the sequel really develops like AORI.

What if it isn't? Now that the hype is high, readers' expectations are piqued, but the next issue is still a waste.

He was the next to be hung.

This time he came to the editorial department just to get the answer he wanted from the editor-in-chief.

But seeing that scene...

anyway.

Can the word "AORI" alone really make readers calm down and turn their attention to comic awards and newly launched websites?

It doesn't feel possible.

Sure enough, I should postpone it and make a long-term plan after the storm has died down...

Shang Tao rubbed his eyebrows and wanted to give up.

But this thought just arose.

The faces of the executives who strongly opposed online comics websites appeared in his mind.

"……no."

Shang Tao immediately put down his hand and became firm again.

The launch of the website and comic awards must not be delayed.

She looked again in the direction where Tang Yao disappeared, and then strode forward without paying any attention to what Ding Yillong was still saying.

Although he didn't know the situation in the editorial department, it was the first time he met the editor named Tang Yao.

But he understood Ding Yillong... Just like Tang Yao said, as long as you work together for a long time, it is easy to find out who among your colleagues is capable, who is treacherous, who is trying to take advantage of the situation, and who is a bastard who doesn't do his job... And Ding Yillong is undoubtedly that type of bastard!
What happened just now made Shang Tao realize how much of a bastard Ding Yillong is.

After all, he is neither deaf nor blind, and he is not willing to listen to a word Ding Yillong says now. In comparison, Shang Tao feels that the unforgivable Tang Yao mentioned by Ding Yillong is more reliable.

After all, compared to Ding Yilong's inaction... Tang Yao spotted the problem during the storyboarding stage and even considered changing Mr. Ou's mind. Combined with that AORI line, maybe... she has a solution? Whether it's changing Mr. Ou's mind or something else, let's give it a try.

It's intuitive, but there's no other way now.

While thinking, Shang Tao strode towards Tang Yao.

the other side.

Ding Yillong was still unloading the pot when he suddenly realized that Shang Tao had left. He was slightly startled and immediately turned around to find that Shang Tao was striding towards Tang Yao's position. His face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He immediately realized that Tang Yao's words had affected Shang Tao.

And Shang Tao was sent by Vice President Zhao...

Thinking of this, Ding Yilong's breathing stagnated, his face became a little ferocious, and after glaring fiercely at Tang Yao's workstation, he lowered his head and picked up his mobile phone on the table.

then.

He woke up his phone, opened the address book, and stared at Ou Congquan's name with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

the other side.

After Tang Yao returned to her workstation, she first adjusted her mood, suppressed the unpleasant things, and took out the drawing paper.

He had encountered a lot of such shitty things in his previous life, but the severity was not so exaggerated and the leaders were not so stupid.

Maybe it’s because there is a Sakura Prefecture Autonomous Region in this parallel world?
Tang Yao didn't understand, and didn't want to spend time thinking about the reason for the time being, because it would easily confuse her. After all, she had lived for more than 20 years in her previous life... and the geographical knowledge between her previous life and here now didn't match at all. So it was better for her to accept it slowly and subtly, otherwise she was afraid that one day she would say some nonsense that was completely contrary to common sense.

In addition, she didn't want to waste time on the two editors. Her work had just come to an end, so she might as well use the time to continue drawing "Fate Zero".

After all, even magazines are embracing new media. Tang Yao is really afraid that this parallel world will also come up with a card-drawing mobile game. It will not be fun without the first-mover advantage.

After all, "Fate Zero" is really not easy to draw.

What many people don’t know is that “Fate Zero” actually has a comic version, but to be honest... maybe because there is an animation before it, the comic has a different medium and needs to be distinguished from the animation version, so the overall viewing experience is not as good as the animation version.

Most importantly, it's too long...

Tang Yao did not have that much time to draw a full fourteen volumes and slowly unfold the entire story.

By that time, let alone mobile games, the opportunity will be gone.

Therefore, she prefers to refer to the animation and introduce the main characters in the most concise way at the beginning, and then let the main characters summon the heroic spirits together.

But this is quite difficult.

There is no way. Fate has too many settings and too many characters. There is a reason why the first episode of the "Fate Zero" animation is more than 40 minutes long. I guess many old viewers still remember the famous "Errenzhuan" scene in the animation... That was also done to explain the settings.

In fact, Tang Yao felt a headache just thinking about it that day, but fortunately she had the animation for reference.

The previous comics were released after the animation, and there is no reason for the animation to be converted into comics. Besides, "Fate Zero" is so popular, if you draw it the same as the animation, who will read it?
But it’s different here, there is no “Fate Zero” animation version here.

There is a lot of room for maneuver.

But having said that, the comics won’t move... Animation can be a two-person show, but what about comics?
Tang Yao was also troubled, even though she was tentatively scheduled to perform in Errenzhuan...

"Editor Tang?"

Tang Yao was sitting in front of the drawing paper, thinking about comics.

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

"..."

Tang Yao came back to her senses and found that Director Shang Tao was standing next to her: "Director Shang, what can I do for you?"

"I'd like to ask about the subsequent development of Mr. Ou's work."

Shang Tao hesitated for a moment, organized his words, and then said, "If possible, please let me know."

"……Can."

Tang Yao only had a problem with the editor-in-chief who did nothing all day long. She did not have any ill feelings towards Director Shang. The other party was also quite polite, so without much hesitation, he told her directly about Teacher Ou's subsequent plans.

In short, it will still be bad.

"..."

Shang Tao was silent when he heard the incredible plot that Mr. Ou was going to draw next. After a while, he said, "So what did you think about that last slogan?"

"Someone asked me the same question not long ago. To be honest, out of editorial responsibility and pity... the readers are so pitiful."

Tang Yao didn't hide it and replied casually, "I think there is a better way to handle this plot. Without changing Ou Congquan's idea, we can use another more appropriate way of expression. But unfortunately, whether it is the modification suggestions I sent or other things, Ou Congquan did not read them.

And reminding our editor-in-chief is of no use.

This ultimately led to this result.

That line "AORI" was a last resort. I anticipated readers would explode, but there was no way to change it, so I added it to give them a glimmer of hope. It also served as a reminder, leaving some room for maneuver. If Ou Congquan also reads reader feedback and sees how poorly he drew the expansion, perhaps seeing the final "AORI" would change his mind. After all, there's still plenty of time in the biweekly edition, although that hope is extremely slim."

"..."

Shang Tao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he felt a little emotional. This Editor Tang... is indeed more reliable than Ding Yillong, much more reliable.

And Ding Yillong is such a fucking bastard.

But soon, she no longer cared about her feelings, and her whole body seemed to wilt: "Miaomang, do you think the other party will not change?"

Tang Yao casually replied while writing and drawing on the drawing paper, "It's difficult. He is a stubborn and arrogant cartoonist."

"So it really has to be postponed..."

Shang Tao couldn't help but rub his brows again. "So all the effort we've put in so far is going to go to waste? The website and the comic award are about to go online, and all the channels are clearly ready, but this kind of thing happened..."

"..."

The tip of the pen on the drawing paper suddenly stopped.

When Tang Yao heard Shang Tao's ordinary words, she suddenly realized something.

She looked at the word "promotion" at the top of the drawing paper, tilted her head, and a light bulb went off in her head, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Director Shang."

Tang Yao's thoughts raced for a while before she managed to suppress her excitement. She slowly raised her head and suddenly asked, "You're the new media director, right?"

"Yep."

Shang Tao looked down at the beautiful young girl in front of him, and was a little confused by her sudden question.

"actually……"

Tang Yao's flawless white face slowly revealed a smile: "I have a suggestion, are you willing to listen?"

Promotional window!

Channel problem!
