Chapter 15 Countermeasures

"Editor-in-Chief, most of the agents of our new issue of magazines refuse to be released. This issue may be the best estimate that we can only sell tens of thousands of copies."

In the New Animation Magazine, in order to deal with this incident, Lin Lan gathered all the editors of the company. The so-called three cobblers were the ones who were Zhuge Liang. With so many people working together, Lin Lan hopes to find a way out.

After hearing that, Lin Lan nodded and said, "Okay, I already know. Now I gather everyone together, hoping that everyone can come up with a solution. Chen Ze's "Slam Dunk" is the hope of our magazine, and we must never let it happen."

As soon as she finished speaking, the editors around her showed thoughts and embarrassment. This time, the agent, industry tycoon, and third-party comment magazine pointed the finger at "Slam Dunk", which was something that people present had never encountered in the comics industry, and everyone was at a loss.

"Editor-in-chief, this time the matter is probably not that easy to solve. Not only the problem of the agency, but even Lotte Club has issued a document asking us to cut "Slam Dunk" in half. He is the leader in the industry. If magazines like us offend it, the consequences will be very serious."

A middle-aged man in his thirties said that he had a lot of opinions about Lin Lan signing "Slam Dunk" and felt that there was no need to sign a comic like "Slam Dunk". This time "Slam Dunk" was targeted, and he was also one of the main calls in the company to give up "Slam Dunk".

"What do you mean?" Lin Lan looked at the middle-aged man and said lightly. Her eyes were a little faint, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Give up "Slam Dunk", the kind of giant Lotte Club is not something we can afford. It is not worth offending it for a "Slam Dunk".

The middle-aged man thought Lin Lan was facing such an almost unsolvable situation and finally surrendered and was willing to listen to him. That's right, a little girl in her twenties knew what a management company was. Just give me the power of the magazine, and it's guaranteed to be ten thousand times better than you.

The man thought to himself that he was not only dissatisfied with "Slam Dunk", but actually more dissatisfied with his boss. I think he was also a person who had been struggling in the comic circle for more than ten years, so how could he be convinced by a little girl?

At that time, he came to Xin Animation Magazine and heard that the magazine had the background of the top wealthy businessmen in China. Who knew that when he came, he actually had a little girl in charge of him. Especially when he heard the three bullshit principles that Lin Lan had idealized, he even sneered at her.

"Very good!" Lin Lan nodded, "Wang Huan, you were fired."

The middle-aged man looked happy when he listened to Lin Lan's previous sentence, and thought Lin Lan had followed his advice. But unexpectedly, her next sentence was to fire him.

"Editor-in-chief, what did you say?" Wang Huan couldn't believe his ears.

"I said you were fired." Lin Lan said lightly with a expressionless face, "You think I don't know what you did in private. These days, I have been in the company everywhere, and I want the editors of the company to put pressure on me, and you are the one who asks me to give up "Slam Dunk"!"

Wang Huan thought he had done something very hidden, but he didn't expect that Lin Lan would find out long ago: "Editor-in-Chief, I'm also for the company's good. Lotte Society is not something we can deal with. And because of this, you have to fire me. Aren't you afraid of being cold in the hearts of the company's people?"

Wang Huan defended loudly that those who had contacted him in private had a chill in his heart, in addition to worrying about themselves.

"You are right. If it's all these things, I will certainly not care about you." Lin Lan said this, paused, and then raised the volume and said, "But you have contacted people from Lotte Club in private and were bought by them to persuade me to give up "Slam Dunk". With this matter, do you think I can tolerate you?"

"Wow!"

The people present exclaimed, they didn't expect that there would be such a thing.

"Editor-in-chief, do you have any evidence? If you don't have one, don't slander people here. I can sue you."

Wang Huan's face looked a little ugly. Indeed, people from Lotte Club came to him a few days ago, hoping to use his hand to eliminate "Slam Dunk". Of course, the condition is that Lotte Club can hire him as the new editor-in-chief of the group. He has been dissatisfied with the new animation, and Lotte Club is the leader of the industry, so of course he nodded immediately to agree.

"Say me!" Lin Lan sneered, not knowing where she took out a stack of photos. "These are the best evidence, and the person who talks to you is from Lotte Society."

After saying that, she threw the stack of photos on the table. The editors around were in an uproar. They reached out and picked up the photos. After reading them, their eyes at Wang Huan immediately changed.

I was just standing up for him and thought he was also for the company's good, but I was actually fired by Lin Lan. I didn't expect that he would use himself to achieve his goals. Thinking of this, people who had contact with him cursed in their hearts.

"Do I need to say more? Wang Huan, you are no longer from our New Animation Magazine. Please pack up and leave!" Lin Lan said coldly to Wang Huan.

Wang Huan's face turned pale. He packed up his own things under the gaze of everyone. When he walked to the door, he seemed unwilling to say: "Lin Lan, I tell you that the advice I gave you are all true. Lotte Society is not something you can deal with. Offending it is simply a way to die."

Although he left, what he said in the end still played a lot of role. The editors present thought of such a giant as Lotte Society, and their faces showed fear and confusion.

"Is Lotte Club inviolable? It is indeed the leader in the industry for 20 years, and there is no magazine that can wrestle with it so far. Our new animation is just a small magazine at the beginning, which is simply the difference between ant and an elephant compared to it, but do you really think it is inviolable?" Seeing this, Lin Lan said slowly.

"If it is really inviolable, why did it rush to ban our "Slam Dunk". Don't forget what kind of magazine it was twenty years ago. At that time, it was just a small magazine like us. Because of Li Ming's appearance, it defeated the overlord at that time and became the new leader."

"Today, Li Mingyang from our new animation magazine also found it. Chen Ze's "Slam Dunk" showed no aura than Li Mingyang back then, and he was even better. I think this is also the reason why they are eager to deal with "Slam Dunk". As long as we overcome this difficulty, I think the moment of the times changing will not be far away."

·······

At the meeting, Lin Lan inspired all the staff of the magazine with her words, but this did not help solve this problem. Now that the new animation is facing encirclement from all parties, the sales of the magazine have dropped sharply to tens of thousands or even thousands. If this problem is not solved, the magazine will be in danger of bankruptcy.

Unfortunately, even though they worked together, they did not come up with a good way. At this moment, she received a call from Chen Ze, and Chen Ze came up with a way.

"You mean serializing it online?" Lin Lan asked uncertainly.

"Yes, since magazine agents are unwilling to provide us with channels, we might as well provide the comics online. This may solve the problem temporarily."

This is what Chen Ze thought of. However, in fact, he was also inspired by online literature in his previous life. The emergence of online literature in his previous life made countless people with literary dreams no longer have to worry about having no place to publish, which brought revolutionary changes to the novel.

Although comics have their own special features and cannot be compared with novels. However, they should be able to overcome this period of difficulties and will not be suffocated to death because of the agency's problems.

Moreover, people are always profit-seeking animals. As long as their comics are well received online, they will not have to worry about the lack of agents to publish magazines. Chen Ze is still very confident about the quality of "Slam Dunk".

"Unlike in the past, every time we were lagging behind the magazine, we can mention comics one issue with the magazine, or even go ahead, watch comics by subscribe, and even reward them, set monthly ticket lists, etc." Chen Ze expressed his thoughts.

"Is this really OK?" Lin Lan said uncertainly.

"Of course, I'm willing to guarantee it. If it doesn't work, I won't have my royalties." The novel website in my previous life was very popular. Although comics have their own special features, they cannot be simply compared to novels. However, Chen Ze still has this confidence in using this method to spend the current difficult time and wait for things to turn around.

Somehow, after hearing Chen Ze's confident words, Lin Lan's anxious and irritable heart inexplicably calmed down.
