Chapter 260: Chapter 244 Han Jimei’s Wishful Thinking_1

It was not strange to Luo Wei that Lin Yuan was hiring a manager. She had witnessed Lin Yuan’s interviews over the past few days, and when Lin Yuan decided on the chosen candidate, Luo Wei immediately started a conversation with him: “I’ve been taking care of Teacher Shadow’s account on Tribe recently. Now, it can be handed over to Uncle Jin. A simple password change from Uncle Jin should do.”

Jin Mu was older in age.

So, calling him ‘Uncle’ wasn’t too much.

Jin Mu said, “I’ve checked the situation, and Assistant Luo has done well, so I think the Tribe account can continue to be managed by Assistant Luo. As for the adaptation of ‘King of the Net’ into an animation, I will be responsible for liaising with several companies.”

“Is that fine?”

Luo Wei looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan nodded. Uncle Jin didn’t need to worry about this basic account management. His main role was to handle some matters that were inconvenient for Lin Yuan himself to face, such as the matter Jin Mu had just mentioned, which involved professional matters.

Luo Wei smiled.

She also wanted to continue managing the account.

Moreover, Lin Yuan had handed over his current main interpersonal relationships to Jin Mu. In the future, many things could be handled by Jin Mu, as long as he reported to him in time. Lin Yuan was quite reassured about the candidate chosen by the System.

Jin Mu picked things up quickly.

After a few days of adapting, he was able to discuss formal work with Lin Yuan: “After some investigations, there are eight large online comic websites in Qin Qi, all of which have relatively equal traffic. They can all be the platforms for the release of Shadow’s next comics. However, I personally recommend Tribe Comics.”

“Why?”

“Firstly, Shadow’s first comic was published on Tribe. Secondly, Tribe has the inherent advantage of attracting streams when it established the comic website. After the website is established, it is bound to attract some excellent comic artists. This is a guarantee for the basic traffic. In the short term, this website may not be the optimal choice, but I think this comic website is a good option in the long term. Moreover, they are preparing offline physical channels…”

“Then select this one.”

Lin Yuan didn’t understand market research. If the comic website established by Tribe was reliable, he wouldn’t mind continuing to cooperate with them. After all, Lin Yuan’s habit was to cooperate as much as possible with platforms he was familiar with.

“Also,…”

Jin Mu looked at Lin Yuan and said, “Tribe, like the other publishers and comic platforms, also has the idea of providing scriptwriters for the boss. However, I plan to refuse. Does the boss think there is any problem with my handling?”

Pure artist!

This was the definition of Shadow from the outside world. If Jin Mu didn’t know about Lin Yuan’s multiple identities, he would also think Shadow is more suitable for the path of a pure artist. But if Shadow is also Chu Kuang, that would be another story.

“No problem.”

Lin Yuan would never use a scriptwriter. He had his own good stories, so why would he need others to provide them? Without due cause, an extra person would share his money. As long as his next comic makes a name for itself, the label of pure artist can be removed.

“Hmm…”

This content is taken from freёnovelkiss.com.

Jin Mu hesitated for a moment, then added, “As for managing Xian Yu’s work, I think the boss should be responsible for it. It’s difficult for us to hide every alias successfully, and you need a relatively well-known public identity.”

“Is that so.”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and felt it was not a big issue. In some ways, the identity of Xian Yu was the hardest to hide, because many people in the company recognized him, including friends and family, who were also aware of his identity as Xian Yu.

“Alright.”

In this case, Jin Mu only needed to manage the aliases of Chu Kuang and Shadow. The identity of Xian Yu didn’t require much involvement from Jin Mu: “Then you continue to follow up on the comic website of Tribe.”

Jin Mu nodded.

Lin Yuan was in a good mood.

Having Jin Mu advising was quite convenient, as the suggestions Jin Mu offered were generally the optimal solutions for his work. Lin Yuan had long needed someone to provide him with some candid suggestions.

Whilecontacting Shadow, Tribe had already begun promoting the establishment of a comic website. As one of the largest online platforms in Qin Qi, the news quickly spread to everyone. Many avid comic fans were looking forward to it and discussing it.

“A new comic website?”

“Tribe is actually getting into comics too. The pressure on all major comic websites must be quite heavy, considering Tribe’s platform already has some influential comics being serialized, coupled with Tribe’s unique background.”

“I hope the new website has some surprises.”

“With Tribe’s background, it can certainly attract many excellent comic artists. Recently, several comic artists have stated that they are in talks with the people from Tribe Comics. I guess the list will be announced in the next few days.”

Just as the outside world speculated.

Tribe’s entry into the market made all major online comic platforms in Qin Qi feel an enormous threat. Especially the websites that had their pillar-level comic artists poached by Tribe, they were all shedding bitter tears. This was the impact brought about by the major shakeup in various industries after Qin Qi’s merger.

A few days went by. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Tribe directly published the list of thirty comic artists who would be releasing their new works on Tribe Comics. The names of many well-known comic giants that many comic fans were very familiar with appeared on the list. The last few names also included Shadow.

Of course.

In this list of names, Teacher Shadow’s presence is not particularly noticeable because the comic artists invited by Tribe are all renowned veterans in the industry, enough to dazzle all comic fans.

The list is out.

And the discussions become even livelier.

However, this does not affect Lin Yuan’s pace of publishing “King of the Net”. By August 23, this comic finally comes to its conclusion, and as expected, there are many comments in the Tribe discussion area on the day the comic ends.

“So emotional!

“Congrats on finishing!”

“My favorite comic has ended, I feel empty inside. I wonder if Teacher Shadow is interested in adapting ‘Zhu Xian’ into a comic, if it’s Teacher Shadow, it should be excellently translated, right?”

“Teacher Shadow’s drawing skills are just too superb.”

“A pure artist, given a good story script, has a high probability of creating a masterpiece. I hope Teacher Shadow’s next work can be a collaboration with top comic scriptwriters in the industry. Of course, collaborating with Chu Kuang is also possible.”

“Looking forward to the next work!”

“Tribe is launching a comic website on September 1. The promotion is already out. Shadow’s new work will also be published on Tribe. It feels like this new comic website by Tribe is aiming to unify the online comic market.”

Over at Tribe Literature,

Han Jimei, looking at the feedback on ‘King of the Net’ comments section, couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile, “It’s a pity that Teacher Shadow isn’t content with being just a pure artist. Like many comic artists, he also wants to script and illustrate his own works.”

In the initial website assessment, Teacher Shadow was rated as a very highly valued pure artist.

Evaluation:

Teacher Shadow belongs to the type who, given a good story, could draw a top-selling work. You could say he is a desirable asset in the comics industry.

So, Han Jimei has been paying close attention to him.

Unfortunately…

Teacher Shadow was determined to take the path of originality, thereby rejecting the scriptwriters provided by Tribe.

This inevitably led to disappointment for Han Jimei, but she did not readily show it.

On the contrary!

In response to Shadow’s stubbornness, Han Jimei simply decided to support his approach to original content.

Of course, this is not because Han Jimei has faith in Shadow’s walk on the original path, but because she clearly understands that Shadow wouldn’t turn back unless he hits a wall.

Instead of that, better to offer Teacher Shadow the space to create freely.

Once Shadow’s new work flops, he will realize how much he lacks an excellent comic scriptwriter.

At that time, offering him a suitable scriptwriter at Tribe could successfully get him back on track!

By then, Teacher Shadow might even appreciate Tribe’s provided comic scriptwriter that can help uplift his work.

This is Han Jimei’s perfect plan.

It’s foolish to clash with an exceptionally outstanding pure artist like Teacher Shadow.

Han Jimei is no fool to hold a high position at Tribe!

Futhermore…

Shadow and Chu Kuang obviously have a great relationship!

If Tribe offends Shadow, would they indirectly offend Chu Kuang?

As soon as Han Jimei considers the close connection between Teacher Shadow and Chu Kuang, she dares not upset Shadow.

So, she just goes along with Shadow.

Letting Shadow identify his own shortcomings.

That way, Shadow will willingly become a pure artist.
