Chapter 544: Rejection
Cuarón, of course, hasn't left yet.
It's just that the artwork he submitted to the editor two days ago was ruthlessly rejected again.
"Caron, how many times have I told you, we want something like a superhero series, we want heroes, we want fresh stories, we want battles, we want blood, we want victory, we want fans to worship heroes, not those beautiful environmental drawings you draw. ”
Indeed, Cuarón's drawings are very beautifully drawn, especially after they are painted, and it is a completely new fantasy world.
It's just a pity that the editors are not optimistic about these things.
No matter how good the world view setting and environment description are, there is no compelling story that will still not be liked by readers.
Now the vast majority of readers are looking forward to seeing superhero series like Iron Man and Spider-Man more than a strange fantasy planet, a group of strange animals and plants, and some strange-looking humans with blue skin.
Therefore, these works of Caron were not recognized by the editors in the end.
Karon is the same foreign painter that Chen Feng had met in the rainforest before.
He is indeed a comic book author, and he has published his own comics at the same comic company that used to publish Iron Man.
He even became famous among comic book fans for a time, and lived a fairly prosperous life through it.
It's a pity that in recent years, he has begun to polish his new works attentively, but he has been rejected by the editors of the publishing house one after another.
The reason is very simple, in recent years, almost all of the best-selling comic works are superhero series, and the most famous superheroes have simply become money-absorbing weapons, and countless money has been made.
Even some other comics that are not very well-known can make a small profit as long as they apply the style and mode of the superhero series.
Now, the market is full of works modeled after superhero series.
Iron Man, Batman, Spider-Man, The Flash and so on have become well-known series, and they are not worried about sales.
And there are many more productions that follow the trend, and they are simply doing everything.
There are even people who have followed the trend and created Flyman, Mouseman, and Toilet Man......
Such a work, as long as the idea is novel, the story is exciting, and the painting style strives to be close to the works of the superhero series, it can also sell a good sales and make a lot of money.
This is the current megatrend in manga publishing.
Unfortunately, Caron didn't like it.
Relatively speaking, he prefers to create a fantasy world independently, seriously make the structure of the worldview, constantly enrich and improve the details in his fantasy world, and then create a wonderful storyline in his fantasy world.
That's what he's looking for.
For example, the fantasy world he is creating now.
This world is located on other planets, on this planet, there is a group of blue elf-like humans, they live in harmony with nature, all kinds of strange plants, all kinds of strange animals, these blue elf-like humans have their own way of life and ideas, everything is full of dreams.
Subsequently, human beings came to this planet, and human beings inevitably had conflicts and contradictions with the native inhabitants of this planet for the sake of resource exploitation......
This is the basic idea of Caron's new comic work.
If you are willing to watch patiently, you will find that Caron's new work is actually very good, this novel world view setting, the native inhabitants like the blue elves, all kinds of magical animals and plants, and even the alien language system, everything will make people feel that it is a real world.
However, if you want to feel this wonderful fantasy world journey, you have to patiently read some of the more boring world view settings in the front, relatively speaking, those things are not very attractive.
Undoubtedly, this is not a good thing for Cuarón's work.
Now people would like to see the story of an ordinary person who suddenly acquires some kind of superpower and then becomes a superhero.
The ordinary and even somewhat aggrieved life at the beginning is easy for readers to have a sense of substitution.
And after gaining superpowers, it will make readers feel very fresh, very exciting, and very exciting.
Then use superpowers to transform into a superhero to save your city and even the world, which will make the reader feel that great emotion of selflessness.
And after becoming a superhero, being embraced and loved by the public can make readers feel extremely proud and proud.
Why do readers like to read comics from superhero series?
Isn't it because reading such a story that readers can also fantasize about becoming superheroes together, and then get psychological satisfaction?
This is the fundamental reason why superhero series works can become popular.
Editors have long seen through this essence, so when choosing a comic work to publish, they will predict whether a work will be successful or not according to the psychological needs of readers.
Obviously, if this set of criteria is used to review Caron's new work, there is no doubt that Caron's work is not up to standard.
Cuarón's new work, at first, does not have a storyline that can make people feel a sense of substitution, on the contrary, it is a mess of very complex world view settings.
Even the physical data of the planet is written in detail, the composition of the atmosphere, climatic conditions, topography and landforms, etc...... These things actually occupy more than a dozen pages of content, and they look very boring.
Even readers with a lower level of literacy will not understand what the work is talking about.
In this case, it's no wonder that Cuarón's new work has been well received by readers!
In addition to these, Cuarón then described a lot of life and customs of the alien natives, as well as a lot of flora and fauna, which took more than a dozen pages.
There's still no excitement about it, and it all looks dry.
Although if you take a closer look, these content settings are really interesting, and everything is gradually building a fantasy alien world, although it is a little slow, but the details are in place, everything is very reasonable, and it can make people feel like they are there.
But in this day and age, how many people are willing to sink their hearts and take a closer look at these things?
Even if Chen Feng hadn't seen the film "Avatar" in the dream world, he would have felt inexplicable about Caron's paintings.
So, in the end, the new work that Caron spent a lot of energy to create didn't even pass the editing level, and was directly beaten back.
According to the editor's meaning, Cuaron should still honestly imitate the works of those superhero series, at least, then there is still food and money!
Why do these thankless things?
