Started as a comics editor

Chapter 40 Comic Award

"what happened?"

Tang Yao noticed that Li Xue suddenly turned her head away and felt a little confused.

"No... I just felt like I was hit hard."

Li Xue took a deep breath, calmed herself down, then turned around and said seriously, "You, please don't say such things in front of others."

"I don't want to take anyone else away, so how could I possibly tell you that?"

Tang Yao was even more confused. "No, there's another person, but that person planned to make games from the beginning, so it doesn't matter what happens... You're different. You're the only one who makes me want to say this."

"..."

Although Li Xue knew that this might, probably, perhaps, be a misunderstanding... she was still hit hard again.

So she quickly moved towards Tang Yao and changed the subject, "Forget it, let's talk about the game. I don't know what you've prepared. You've been so secretive lately, and I don't know what you've been doing.

What do you mean by preparatory work? I'd like to know. It will help me prepare myself mentally and give me more confidence when I contact that relative.

"Oh……"

Although Tang Yao felt a little strange, she still leaned on Li Xue and talked about the preparations she had made during this period.

"..."

Li Xue listened quietly and finally pulled herself out of that inexplicable emotion.

then.

About ten minutes later.

"you……"

Li Xue's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Tang Yao in shock. "You mean... the new media department will help you promote the comics that served as the original game concept?"

Tang Yao nodded: "Yeah, isn't it amazing?"

"This isn't a question of whether it's powerful or not... Can you even relate to this?"

Li Xue was a little confused: "Did the director of the new media department really agree?"

"accepted."

"Is serializing a work also a problem?"

"I don't know why though, huh."

"..."

Li Xue was shocked.

Tang Yao smiled and said, "So, Ms. Li, I have done everything I can. Now I just have to wait for the money and the results."

Li Xue came back to her senses: "The result?"

"The results after the manga was released early... Although I am very confident in Fate Zero, I don't have the final say. I still have to see the readers' feedback."

Tang Yao said softly, "We'll probably know the result soon. Director Shang is probably even more anxious than I am about releasing the comic award winners in advance."

……

Tang Yao was not wrong.

Shang Tao was indeed more anxious than her, after all, it was related to the launch of the website.

The day after Tang Yao provided the decisive storyboard.

The new media department has started to warm up.

Of course, the new media department felt that this was a warm-up for the comic awards.

But for many readers of Girl, Boy and Sword, this is like standing on their heads and shitting...

No, we've already been criticized so much, and you still have the nerve to promote a comics award? And you're even asking us to read the winning comics in advance? Where do you get the courage from?

For example, Su Deqiang... He was very confused when he saw the blog post about the comic award in front of him.

But not understanding doesn’t stop him from criticizing!

Because after these two days of fermentation... he probably confirmed that he was really awesome.

My cyber clone is awesome!

Because the last episode of "Girl to Boy and Sword" had such a shitty development, and Ou Congquan has been playing coward! The magazine is actually still promoting some kind of manga award!

What is this doing?
Can't hear us?

At that moment, his anger was truly rising. "Let me see... Special event, preview the comic award entries. Excellent works will not be affected by any incidents. The first batch will be released on time at 9:00 the next day. Everyone is welcome to read in advance."

Su Deqiang looked at the official social media of the Literature Museum, quietly reading the latest update, and felt like he was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage.

Welcome everyone to watch?

Propaganda like this?

Isn’t that a bit too much!?
What else can you say about excellent works that will not be affected by any events?
Isn't this definitely a hint at the pile of shit drawn in this issue of Go All Out?
So! You guys really do know this, right?

Why do you know that? No reaction at all!

What the hell are you...

The more Su Deqiang thought about it, the angrier he became.

And at this moment, something happened that made him even angrier.

Ding-dong-

Ou Congquan, whom he particularly follows, published a new blog post.

Su Deqiang was stunned for a moment, then with the thought of "You finally fucking came out", he clicked on the status posted by Ou Congquan.

[…I apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused you. I've fully understood your concerns and, with the help of my editor-in-chief, have revised the storyboards for the next issue. Rest assured, the next issue won't disappoint you. I'd also like to express my sincere gratitude to my editor-in-chief. Without her, I'd probably still be lost in my own world right now.]

[Also, because of me, some of the entries for the Bunshin Manga Award have been released early. I apologize for this, but I really don't want excellent works to be buried because of me, so if you're interested, please go and take a look...]

"..."

When Su Deqiang saw this update, his face quickly turned red, and he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.

No.

Although you said it very nicely, saying that you fully understood the readers' needs, your subsequent change of tone completely exposed your true intentions!
Aren't you just advertising for the Manga Awards?! What about the next issue? It seems like you're just trying to protect the Manga Awards! You're just trying to appease people for the sake of the greater good!

Okay.

It works!
"Old thief Ou... at this moment, you still have the mind to play tricks, right? Comic Award, right?"

Su Deqiang held his phone, looking extremely angry. His body was shaking slightly with anger. "Okay, okay, wait for me tomorrow!"

While talking to himself, he started typing curses under Ou Congquan's latest update.

And judging by the number of replies... there are really quite a few people who share the same idea as Su Deqiang.

the next day.

When Tang Yao got up, she was stunned by the actions of Shang Tao and Ou Congquan.

"It's really a disaster..."

Tang Yao was wearing her home pajamas, holding her cell phone in one hand and gently patting her forehead with the other.

She didn't expect that the idea she gave to Shang Tao could double the money!
...They actually let Ou Congquan do the advertising?

Are you really worried readers won't notice the Manga Awards? You don't know about the Manga Awards' early releases, right? Black and red are still red, but are you provoking readers like this? What's the difference between you standing on the street with your arms outstretched and yelling, "I have an announcement!"

You also want the entire comic reader community to follow your lead, right?
"what are you doing?"

Tang Xun appeared at the door wearing an apron and looked at her sister who was still in her pajamas and sitting on a chair: "It's time for breakfast."

"Nothing, I just came."

Tang Yao shook her head and put down her phone.

This shouldn't be a bad thing, right?
Anyway, Ou Congquan did change it, and the next issue will indeed appease the readers...Now the readers have misunderstood, thinking that he is playing tricks and telling lies for the sake of the overall situation, and all the firepower is directed at the comic award, which seems to be a good thing.

At least... the comic award is no longer short of readers.

……

at the same time.

The other side of the city.

Su Deqiang also got up.

When he got up, he thought about what happened yesterday and still felt angry.

and so.

He didn't even wash up. After getting up from the bed, he sat directly in front of the computer.
