Started as a comics editor

Chapter 27 The Work of Editors

In fact, it was in Tang Yao’s game plan.

Her biggest worry has always been promotion.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that as long as the promotion is done well, everything will be fine and other things will go smoothly.

no.

Rather, promotion is the prerequisite for everything to go smoothly.

After all, good wine needs no bush, let alone a brand new game type that has not been verified by the market in the early stages of mobile Internet.

The reason why she wanted to draw "Fate Zero" was because she was worried that such a "new game" would be unknown because too few people knew about it, which would eventually lead to failure and become a cushion for providing inspiration to others, and only gain the title of the originator.

But then the problem arises again - how to promote "Fate Zero" after it is completed?
Yes.

Just like nesting dolls, she has to consider the promotion of the game's works.

It is impossible for her to draw a serialized version because the copyright will no longer belong to her.

But if he didn't serialize the comics...how could he get readers to read them? Online serialization platforms weren't very popular here, otherwise Shang Tao wouldn't have had to go to such great lengths to create an online comics website.

At the beginning.

Tang Yao's idea was to create a pseudonym for herself, use the comic award to build her reputation, and then release "Fate Zero".

But there is an obvious problem with doing this: can a short story that wins a comic award really attract enough readers?

There is no way "Fate Zero" can participate in a comic award. Putting aside copyright issues, this thing is a serialized work.

So she has been very distressed.

But just now.

She found a solution.

That's right.

That is to take advantage of this opportunity to deceive... no, persuade the new media director in front of him to do him a favor.

Personally, she had no way of getting too many readers to read her comics, but it was different for the magazine, especially for the new media department that was dedicated to attracting more comic readers for its website.

As long as the director of the new media department believes Tang Yao's words, he will definitely try his best to bring the excellent works of the comic award to the readers in order to launch his own website.

And what will be served together is... "Fate Zero".

Also.

Although Tang Yao's intentions were not pure... she was not speaking nonsense. Although this incident was troublesome, it could indeed bring extremely high exposure to the website and the comic award.

Exposure!
This is what Tang Yao wants most.

Although it would probably be a bit troublesome to persuade the new media director in front of her to promote an unfinished serialized work later, this was one of the reasons why she agreed to change Ou Congquan's mind, to increase her weight.

But the first step has been successfully taken.

"...Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Ou. I need to go and report first."

Shang Tao was completely persuaded by Tang Yao. He confirmed the details with her and the more he spoke, the more reliable it seemed. He couldn't stay still any longer and looked at the time on his wrist. Then he said, "Please let me know if there's any progress on your side."

"no problem."

"Then let's add our contact information. I'll let you know immediately if it's possible."

"it is good."

The two exchanged contact information.

Then, Shang Tao left happily. Compared with his worried look when he left, he seemed particularly excited when he left.

Obviously he has realized that this incident, if handled properly, would be a great opportunity for the website.

Tang Yao watched him leave, then turned her chair to face the table again.

…She herself also needs to speed up the process.

After all, if you miss this rare opportunity, you will never have it again, so no matter what, you have to draw the opening of "Fate Zero" in the next few days... Let's start by drawing it completely according to the animation.

Then see the effect.

But before that...

Tang Yao looked at the latest issue of Big Comic she had bought on the table. She had to deal with the problem with Teacher Ou first.

After all, Director Shang Tao only talked about the report, not that it would definitely work. He probably wanted to use this incident to build momentum for the comic award, and the plan to release the comic award works in advance was also approved by the top management.

rather say.

Director Shang's appearance in the content department must have been a signal from some senior executive.

Director Shang Tao was right when he said that for a magazine, content is everything... If they really wanted to put their own mainstay comics on the line just for an award or a website, the top management would never agree.

Unless things can be as Tang Yao herself said... let that AORI become a reality, so that the development of the plot of this episode is no longer a disease, but just a detour to pave the way for the subsequent explosion.

Even if this is not possible, we must make sure that Ou Congquan's condition improves.

So in the next issue, Ou Congquan must not be allowed to draw randomly.

"It's really troublesome."

But that's what I said.

Tang Yao thought about what she needed to do next, frowned and complained softly.

Then she opened the drawer and took out a revised draft...or more accurately, a proposal.

Although she personally didn't like Teacher Ou...it would be better to say that she even disliked him a little, especially after several subsequent visits and seeing his arrogant attitude.

But no matter how much she hates him, Tang Yao will not deny everything about the other person just because of this personal feeling... and she will not bring such feelings into work.

Unless... that person is the same as Editor-in-Chief Ding.

But Ou Congquan is obviously not a person like Editor-in-Chief Ding. He is indeed arrogant and conceited, but if he is like Editor-in-Chief Ding, who is only arrogant and conceited without any talent, he will not be able to draw the mainstay comics.

In fact, his drawing skills and ideas are quite good. Tang Yao once took the time to read his serialized works from beginning to end. Although the plot is a bit cliché, one can see his dedication and love for comics.

His arrogance was mainly due to his overconfidence in himself and... his distrust of Tang Yao, the editor who was too young.

But this did not affect Tang Yao's ability to shoulder her responsibilities...or to be more precise, it did not affect her last week.

Because she is an editor, she will not give up because of her personal likes and dislikes. After accepting the reality of time travel, she accepted the job.

This is also the reason why she translated Ou Congquan's works.

She actually understood why Teacher Ou made such a controversial development and what he wanted to express.

It's just that the method is too stupid.

Tang Yao tried to change his mind by using both oral communication and written statements.

But Ou Congquan was obviously too confident in herself. Even if she had just taken a quick look at the revision proposal handed over by Tang Yao, she probably would not have fallen into the current situation.

And when the last persuasion failed, that idiot Ding Yillong didn't care anymore.

Tang Yao was indeed annoyed and just ignored it, but the plan was retained after all...The phrase AORI was actually prepared for the revised plot.

"I hope you can sober up a little after seeing the readers' feedback. If you can't sober up, then you'd better die."

Tang Yao took a deep breath, picked up the revised manuscript, stood up and prepared to go out.

...Just think of it as your first pot of gold.

and.

Tang Yao took the revised manuscript, looked in the direction of Ding Yillong, and narrowed her eyes.

She always felt that the editor-in-chief would cause trouble, and this was a good opportunity to confirm Ou Congquan's attitude.

If things really develop in the direction she least wants to see, the two of them will put all the blame on her.

Then she wouldn't mind trying another option.

……

at the same time.

Shang Tao left the editorial department and found Vice President Zhao Fangsheng, then excitedly told him Tang Yao's idea.

Zhao Fangsheng sat upright behind his desk. After listening to Shang Tao's words, he fell silent.

I asked you to ask about the comics...and you came back to tell me this?
　Sorry...it still doesn't work. I still can't change my update time.
　　I'll update around 12 o'clock from now on, I'm more used to it... I'll update in the early morning from now on
