Chapter 940

"Mom, I'm back!"

In the evening, on manga Island, Ling Shuang runs into the dessert shop with her schoolbag.

"Mom, everyone, listen to me, teacher He Xi, he held a novel adaptation competition..."

As soon as she came in, she couldn't wait to speak out about the news she learned at school during the day. The dessert shop was quiet for a while, and then a lot of girls laughed.

"I said, little princess, we have known about this for a long time."

The female guests are smiling. As always, there are a lot of familiar customers in the dessert shop. These girls from nearby almost all know Ling Shuang. Ling Shuang turns her head curiously and finds that many girls are writing with their heads down.

"Everybody knows?"

"How can we not know..." a shop assistant came to help Ling Shuang pick up her schoolbag and said with a smile, "everyone is going to participate in the competition. I'm also thinking about whether to join in the fun."

"Everybody's going to take part!"

Ling Shuang was surprised.

"Why not? Anyway, it's no trouble... "A female college student who is nearest to her said excitedly. She had a pen in her hand and had already written two original manuscripts. It's difficult to have such an interesting game. They all want to try it. Although the chance of success is very small, what if they are selected?

Even if you can't be selected, it's good to break into the interview and meet teacher He Xi!

"This competition is very lively. Many people in our school are also writing about it!"

"Yes, our school library is full... So many people want to join it!"

"I just went to a coffee shop, where people are full, many boys are writing!"

Nearly half of the customers in the dessert shop are female students from the university town. Talking about the adaptation competition, every girl is very interested.

"This competition is more exaggerated than the review scene before our final exam!"

"After all, it was held by Mr. He Xi! The university town is still heavily influenced by him, and other places will not be so busy. "

"But I heard that there are many people writing in other schools too!"

"... this... Relatively speaking, it must be more lively here!"

There was a lively discussion in the dessert shop, but in addition to the girl chatting, more people remained unmoved and continued to write their novels. Ling Shuang also saw several people talking about writing techniques. The first round of the competition was to adapt the specific case of Detective Conan into a novel, which may have baffled many girls.

Although the preconditions for adaptation are the same, we all know the animation plot. But the detective story seems to be more suitable for boys to describe, many girls feel thorny, especially don't know how to write that kind of detective story atmosphere well.

Smart girls discuss with each other or try to find a breakthrough point by themselves, but there are still some anxious girls in the store. When they can't write down, they will simply look at the works of their peers. It seems that plagiarism is not uncommon.

This makes a few girls who are plagiarized unhappy.

"Oh, come on, you copy too much. You will make us all lose the election."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I can't see that!"

"How can you not see it?"

"It's strange not to see it!"—— Ling Shuang also thinks that Phoenix company can't do without checking. The checking of plagiarism is very simple. It's absolutely useless to look at other people's works.

The assistant helped Ling Shuang with her schoolbag to the store. Ling Shuang looked at it curiously: "where's mom? Why isn't she here? "

"The manager is in her room!" The assistant said with a smile, "she is also writing a manuscript. She told you to finish your homework before you come back and have dinner later."

Ling Shuang immediately puffed up her cheeks. She suddenly grabbed the bag and ran to an empty position. She took out the book in the surprised eyes around her and put it on the table: "I want to participate in the competition, too."

The shop assistant followed him with a look of astonishment: "what about the homework?"

"No more!" Ling Shuang took a pen and wrote in the book: "I don't want to lose to you, I also want to see teacher He Xi."

Her personality is so stubborn that no one can change it once a decision is made.

In another city, Ninghai, the repercussion of the novel competition is no less than that of Suhua.

In the coffee shop in the evening, the sweet piano music is flowing gently. However, as a writer, Lu Yanqiu is not in the mood to enjoy it. She slowly drinks milk tea and nervously looks at the editor in charge who is reviewing the manuscript.This is not the first time that she has contributed, but she is more nervous than ever. With the rapid changes in the novel world, ordinary writers are more and more difficult to mix. Lu Yanqiu has not published a book successfully for two years.

"Well..." after a long time, the editor put away the manuscript and sighed: "it's still the same, Yanqiu. Your writing style has been very good, but the story is too old-fashioned. The ideas of this book are not popular now."

She looked at Lu Yanqiu with some regret, and then gave her a desperate answer: "sorry, this book can't be published."

Lu Yanqiu's bright eyes darkened immediately: "I really... Am not suitable for this line?"

She is an old writer with ten years of experience, but she is not a gifted writer. At the beginning of her career, she successfully published several books, but in the fierce competition in the novel market, her head could not keep up with the changes of the times, and she finally became a loser.

This book has been Lu Yanqiu's best work, it failed to pass the audit, so she began to question whether her path is right.

"It's not that you are not suitable, but there are too many novelists now..." the female editor sighed at Lu Yanqiu's loss. Every year, the fiction world can see many such scenes. Except for the talented old writers, the vast majority of the seats of the old writers will be squeezed out by the stronger newcomers.

However, Lu Yanqiu is a writer she likes very much. In addition to the old ideas, her writing is actually very attractive. The female editor thought about it, then suddenly asked, "do you usually watch cartoons or comics?"

Lu Yanqiu was stunned, then shook his head: "my daughter will see it, but I don't like this new thing."

"That's it!" The female editor covered her head and said, "your head is so stiff that you are too stubborn to accept new things. If you want to write books all day and don't read new things, of course you will be abandoned by the times!"

"I'll give you a piece of advice." After a pause, she said, "have you ever heard of Teacher He Xi's recruitment for novel adaptation?"

"Yes, I have." During the day, she received a text message from Longteng company, which was sent to all non potential writers in groups, saying that writers who were interested in this matter would contribute to Phoenix company.

"I suggest you try it." The female editor laughed: "with your writing style, it should be no problem to break through."

"But I'm not interested in comics."

"I don't know if I'm interested in going." The female editor took the manuscript and patted Lu Yanqiu's head: "don't be so stubborn. It's absolutely good for you to go there. Teacher He Xi's works are always unrestrained and unconventional. His rich imagination just makes up for your shortcomings."

"This..."

Lu Yanqiu hesitated a little.

"Don't think about it. It's definitely a good job. Mr. He Xi's novels will be published by our company. You can't afford to lose." The editor said with a smile, He Xi's work there is an iron rice bowl, much more stable than his own creation. With his production speed, Lu Yanqiu didn't worry about nothing to do in the past..

"Besides, you don't have to be tied up there. If you don't like it after two years, you can jump out again." The editor finally advised: "no matter how to say that you stay with teacher He Xi for two years, you should be able to expand your imagination."

Lu Yanqiu is a little moved. Although she doesn't watch animation, she has heard about He Xi for a long time. He is a super talented creator, and not limited to the animation business. The chief editor of novels of Longteng company once said that if He Xi turns into a writer, he will be invincible.

Moreover, He Xi's works are full of strange things and rich imagination, which always break through people's imagination. Now many front-line novelists will also look for inspiration from his works.

"I'll... Think about it!"

However, Lu Yanqiu still can't make a decision, she first gave a vague answer, decided to go home to think about it.

Lu Yanqiu's family is an ordinary family. Her husband is a white-collar worker. Her daughter just went to junior high school this year, and she would come back to watch the animation on time every day. On this day, when Lu Yanqiu came home, her daughter had already returned home.

But to her surprise, today's daughter didn't watch the animation as seriously as usual. While she was turning on the TV, there were some original manuscripts on the desk in front of her.

"Xiaoxuan, are you doing your homework?" Lu Yanqiu asked.

"No, mom, I'm going to take part in Teacher He Xi's novel competition." Her daughter, Xiao Xuan, said excitedly. She handed Lu Yanqiu the manuscript paper, on which there were several passages of raw words.

"It's the competition again..." Lu Yanqiu thought, then frowned slightly and asked, "do many people participate in this competition?"

"Of course it is The daughter nodded and said, "there are only 20 students in our class who are going to attend, but they are just going to have fun... The last one who can pass the examination must be a writer as good as my mother."When she heard her daughter say that she was "powerful", Lu Yanqiu felt nervous. In fact, she was not powerful at all. She had been preparing novels for more than half a year, but the editor refused.

Lu Yanqiu felt a little guilty and asked, "Xiaoxuan, if... I mean if, if mom goes to this competition, will you support me?"

"Mom's going to compete?" Xiaoxuan was stunned, then suddenly jumped up: "support, I'm so supportive!"

"Mom, come on, you can pass!" She hugged Lu Yanqiu's neck and said excitedly: "in this way, mother can adapt teacher He Xi's novel. You two will cooperate very well!"

Lu Yanqiu smiles. Seeing her daughter's reaction, she already knows how to do it.

She's going to take part in the novel adaptation competition

At the same time, this evening, Alice of Phoenix company suddenly made a hasty phone call to tell Meng Huo something more serious than they expected.

"We've got headhunters in touch with our voice actors?" Meng Huo was very surprised: "what's the matter? Didn't you say before that those companies should start from the reality first, and then they will dig corners on a large scale? "

"I miscalculated!"

Alice's voice is very dignified. At the beginning, she really judged which star companies planned to start from Xiachuan, and then gradually expand the scope of poaching. But after half a day of investigation, she found that these two things were actually carried out at the same time!

After talking to Meng Huo in the afternoon, Alice immediately ordered the office to pay attention to the trend of star company and headhunting company, and then surprisingly, she got a flustered report from her subordinates. It turned out that some headhunting companies had contacted with voice actors secretly.

These things have been going on in secret, and Phoenix company didn't know about them. If it wasn't for Meng Huo's sensitivity, those poaching actions would probably have been beyond control. Since the last male voice actor left, Phoenix company has strengthened its supervision, and Alice didn't expect this kind of problem to happen again.

"Damn it, the stupid management of the office." Alice looked very angry. She was so angry that she said, "I'm going to reorganize the management structure of the firm because I haven't found anything so important."

However, Meng Huo is not interested in the management structure of the firm. He just wants to know whether the current situation can be controlled.

"Is it time to respond?" "And why do they get in touch with ordinary voice actors while spreading real rumors?" he asked

"In time, things haven't expanded." Alice didn't worry about the situation getting out of control. As long as she makes a decisive counterattack now, she can't say that she will keep all the sound actors, but at least she is confident that she won't hurt the root of the sound actor office.

As for the strange action of those star companies, it's also simple. They are just grasping this matter with two hands.

Maybe those companies also know that under the current conditions, the possibility of Xiachuan's real job hopping is very low, so they first created a rumor to alienate Phoenix company and Xiachuan's real job. At the same time, this rumor is a smoke bomb that can cover their other hand's action.

What star companies want is to cut corners from the bottom, and the primary goal is to carry out large-scale poaching operations on Phoenix company. If they succeed, Phoenix company's affairs will be dealt a fatal blow. When the sound actor is poached, the empty office will no longer be brilliant. At this time, it will be very easy to poach for the real Xiachuan and others.

"That is to say, they are confident of large-scale poaching, right?"

Meng Huo asked calmly.

"Absolutely."

Alice nodded, but this is not good news. If you want to make a large-scale acquisition of the voice of Phoenix company, the price paid by the other party, their power and bait must be unprecedented. It is likely that more than three companies, but more than a dozen companies, will act together.

"It's just a special technique."

"What special technique?"

"..." Alice was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'll give the office to Shen Jie."

"... Alice, don't tease me."
