Chapter 1119 Dinner

After the three goblets clinked lightly, the three sat down.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to come here. I'm really honored." Wei Mao laughed softly.

The woman sitting across from him was about fifty years old and in good condition, so she looked extremely young.

This woman's name is Xiao Yuhong, and she is the boss of a media organization. Of course, she also has means. He has made more than one star famous. In addition, she has also made some ordinary people become Internet celebrities, and she is very famous in the circle.

Wei Mao knew that someone was looking for him, but unexpectedly it was Xiao Yuhong.

"Where, I am also very happy to meet the most popular cartoonist in China." Xiao Yuhong narrowed her eyes and stared at Wei Mao in front of her.

Wei Mao was a little embarrassed, and quickly glanced at the young man sitting on the other side of the round table, coughing dryly, "Mr. Fan... Teacher Fan, is it for Mr. Xiao?"

"Smart. Not long ago, "Full House" was serialized on "Girls' Century", which is a big event for our studio. In particular, Mr. Wei proved with his own strength that as long as the work is good enough, the sales volume of the booklet is fundamental. Don't worry, readers will buy booklets, of course, in addition to their own strength, they also need high-quality publicity, which should be Mr. Xiao's strong point."

"Teacher Fan, I really want to hear that you are a well-known cartoonist, why don't you draw anymore?" Xiao Yuhong looked at Fan Yinmo who was three or four years younger than Wei Mao in puzzlement.

"This...Cartoonists need physical strength, and they also need to have the kind of ideas that make people's eyes shine in order to be recognized. Instead of this, it's better to empty the seat and let newcomers with ideals and feelings enter."

"So, you just started the studio?"

"That's right. Many newcomers... newcomers with potential are often blocked from the door. One of the reasons is that there is no one to lead the way. I admit that paper magazines do better in this regard. Although among those comic editors, some People have no experience in creating comics at all, but they have seen enough comics that they can teach the discussions in the comics to newcomers, and then improve their works. But there are really too few people who get this opportunity, more comics In order to have a good meal, everyone chose to serialize it on the Internet.

"However, the online comic platform is different from the paper platform. It does not mean that a work can be well-known if it becomes popular on a certain website or app, but it must rank among the best in comparison with all online works. Compete with paper magazines. I think Mr. Wei should have a deep understanding, right?" Fan Yinmo turned his head and asked Wei Mao.

Wei Mao nodded.

"I know that... For example, "Full House" can have nearly 400,000 volumes,

Should be a good result, right? Xiao Yuhong took a sip of the fish soup, then wiped her hands with a tissue.

"It's not only good, it's very good. So far, this result should be ranked in the top 20 in China. Considering that there are more than one comic magazines in China, if it can be serialized in the magazine, it may be ranked among the top few, right?" Fan Yinmo was full of praise for "Full House".

Wei Mao took a sip of red wine, remained silent, with a slight smile on his face.

"However, if a cartoonist wants to become a well-known cartoonist from a newcomer, it will take time and cost to grow. In particular, the cost of growing a cartoonist is very high." Fan Yinmo sighed.

"How to say?" Xiao Yuhong also became interested.

"You think, if a newcomer wants to realize his dream, what is the first thing to do? Survive. How long does it take from stepping into this industry to being self-reliant? No one knows. It may be a year, or it may be two years. years, maybe more than ten or twenty years. There are so many web comics with varying levels of quality, how long will it take to find out if a comic is buried in it?

"There was a cartoonist who almost jumped off the building because of this reason before. He was saved by someone and survived. Now he has become a well-known cartoonist. Let me ask, if he hadn't survived the previous dormant period, how could he have become a domestic cartoonist? Are you a well-known cartoonist? If you can have a company or a studio, give advice on creation, take care of your life, pay a certain amount of living expenses, and help them get through this difficult time... Mr. Xiao, I Think, we should be able to dig out some excellent cartoonists, right?"

Hearing Fan Yinmo's long speech, Xiao Yuhong also nodded slightly, "Indeed, in this case, a studio like yours is very necessary."

"Where. These cartoonists are embryos. I just provide some conditions. The environment is given to them, but whether they can grow up or not depends on themselves." Fan Yinmo smiled quietly.

Xiao Yuhong squinted her eyes, glanced at Wei Mao who was tasting wine alone, and nodded slightly, "Seeing Teacher Wei's current achievements, I have reason to believe that you will nominate the next outstanding cartoonist. So, this promotion ...How are you going to do it? Like before?"

Wei Mao had expected that this dinner was for the promotion of "Full House". Mr. Xiao heard Xiao Yuhong mention it, and his heart beat faster again.

""Full House" was serialized in "Girls' Century". Many people don't know about it. Besides, you are on the rise in China, so it is necessary to promote it. The teacher has been busy creating, and these things are up to me Communicate with "Girls' Century" and explain, "Girls' Century" will also participate... Mr. Xiao thinks, how should we promote it?"

"Propaganda... I think interviews are good. To put it simply, I invite Mr. Wei to conduct interviews with other well-known cartoonists. In this way, we will unintentionally bring Mr. Wei and other cartoonists to the same level. It helps to elevate Teacher Wei's status. At the same time, the interviews are mainly with Teacher Wei, and other people are more likely to be a foil. I heard that some cartoonists are slovenly. Teacher Wei's image is so good, even if he just sits in the corner, it will be The center of the show." Xiao Yuhong couldn't help but glanced at Wei Mao again.

"This is the best." Fan Yinmo nodded hastily, "Teacher Wei, you think so too, don't you?"

"Ah?" After being reminded by Fan Yinmo, Wei Mao regained his composure and nodded quickly, "That's right, this is the best."

"Let's leave this matter to Mr. Xiao." Fan Yinmo said seriously.

"It just so happens that I have a program in my hand that is about interviews, so leave it to me? By the way, the cartoonist you invite must be important. Who is the most famous cartoonist in China?"

"The most famous...it should be that one, right? However, maybe we can't invite you." Wei Mao laughed awkwardly.

"Who? I don't believe anyone else has trouble with money. If you tell me, I'll invite you over." Xiao Yuhong said confidently.

"Shen Zheng... Mr. Xiao is not from the comic circle, so he may not know about it. In the past ten years, the most famous cartoonist in China is Mr. Shen Zheng. I'm afraid Mr. Xiao can't invite you." Fan Yinmo's smile is meaningful.

"Please come, please come, you will know if you try it, right?" Xiao Yuhong raised her glass, "I'm still very confident."

The three wine glasses collided again.
