Chapter 40: After all, it still depends on the face

Yi Qing was taken to the editor-in-chief's office with a blank face, and with him was a thirty-year-old mature man, who seemed a little apprehensive.

When Yi Qing came before, he asked the front desk, but he was told that it was the time for a regular meeting, and if there was an appointment, he could wait.

Of course, if not, you can also submit the manuscript to the editor-in-charge and let the editor-in-charge review the manuscript.

Before, Yi Qing didn't know much about the Japanese comic circle, so he seemed a little dazed, maybe because of his appearance, the beautiful front desk is Yuko Ogura also knows a lot about this industry.

Later, Yi Qing also learned from Yuko Ogura that most of the submissions of pure newcomers are generally reviewed by the editor, and only those cartoonist assistants have the right to let the editor-in-chief review the manuscript.

Of course, if you are a pure newcomer, but you have the recommendation of a senior cartoonist, you can also get the opportunity to be reviewed by the editor-in-chief.

There are a lot of pure newcomers like this who come directly to Shueisha to submit articles every day, but most of them return home, which is why newcomers don't know the rules.

Knowing this situation, Yi Qing was a little speechless.

Of course, Yuko Ogura also said that if you are confident in the quality of the manuscript, you can also vote for their Shueisha Newcomer Award, which is the JUMP Next-Generation Manga Award.

Yi Qing knows that in his previous life, several high-quality comics stood out in this award every year.

But this award starts on September 10, and the deadline is December 10, a full three months, even if he submits, he will have to wait three months.

Three months was enough time for him to do a lot of things, so he couldn't wait.

Just when Yi Qing was at a loss, Yuko Ogura quietly asked him to sit on the chair and wait, she had a way. This made him curious, and he didn't know why the other party was so eager to help him. Of course, for the warmth of the reception at the front desk, he naturally believed that the other party would not play him for no reason, so he sat on the chair and waited.

And he found that there were several people sitting on chairs waiting next to him, and when he sat down, several people looked hostile.

Until now being brought to the office, he was still a little dazed.

"Did you bring the manuscript?" said Ayano Iida as soon as he sat down.

"Brought, brought. The mature man was not mature at all, and took the original manuscript he had loaded, handed it to Ayano Iida, and then stood by with a respectful face.

Seeing this, Yi Qing didn't dare to look at it more, but he still complained in his heart, you are not the other party's servant, are you so vain.

However, what he didn't know was that Iida Ayano was simply a living bodhisattva in the eyes of newcomers, and generally speaking, the editor in charge had to read countless submitted comics every day, and after reading it for a long time, even if the quality was good, there were times when it was out of sight.

The editor-in-chief is different, they have a far-sighted vision, and they can see the highlights of the beginning of a comic.

So this is also the reason why mature men are respectful, although the woman in front of him is smaller than him, but she has won the respect of these newcomers.

However, even so, the mature man still looked at Iida Ayano slightly, and at this look, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

At this time, Iida Ayano frowned slightly, and the other party, who was still looking at it slowly, turned over faster the more he went to the back.

After a few minutes, Ayano Iida put down the original comic manuscript and shook his head slightly, "First of all, let's talk about the most basic thing storyboard, I can't understand your storyboard, it's very flawed."

And your storyline, originally I thought Harada Noshi was the main character, but later you told me that he was a villain? But you're a villain, aren't you?

I know you're trying to create a different villain, but apparently you didn't succeed.

That's it, the plot of your story is obviously not prioritized. And the heroine's painting style actually made me look at it, and I felt very ugly. I don't want the heroine's painting style to be exquisite, I just want to be able to catch the eye. You are an urban comic, not a fantasy comic.

Don't think about being a maverick, that's a privilege only for well-known cartoonists. ”

Yi Qing, who listened to it next to him, couldn't help but be speechless, in fact, when he heard the first sentence, he knew this man's pill.

The storyboard is the basis of a cartoonist, but it is rated as very flawed, which is enough for the other party to pass, but the other party also said the shortcomings of the comics, obviously the editor-in-chief of a person in charge, which makes Yi Qing very impressed.

Then the mature man thanked him, took the manuscript, and walked out of the office in despair.

"Yours. Seeing this, Ayano Iida, who sighed, didn't say anything, and looked at Yi Qing, this is indeed the chance to win the manuscript by her appearance.

"Here. Yi Qing handed the manuscript in his hand to the other party, and then waited for the other party's review.

Iida Ayano took the manuscript and turned the first page, which was a preface.

"In the past......, there was a demon fox that endangered the world!

"If the fox shakes, the landslide and tsunami. 』

"The people suffered so much that they summoned the ninjasβ€”"

"There is a ninja who did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to seal the demon fox......! Exhausted and dying. 』

"This ninja is called the fourth generation 'Hokage'. 』

Unlike his previous life, which was only a few prefaces at the beginning, Yi Qing on this first page is very dedicated, and he shows the tyranny of the nine-tailed demon fox and the disaster to the world more vividly.

The huge nine-tailed demon fox stands across the earth, and the size of the house under its feet completely sets off how huge and majestic the nine-tailed demon fox is.

And here Yi Qing played a trick, he painted the nine-tailed demon fox, and did not draw the four generations of Hokage, which is a factor of curiosity.

And Ayano Iida was indeed piqued with curiosity.

The most important thing is that this manuscript is very mature.

That's right, mature, and this refers to a very mature painting style. Many people don't know that the style of painting needs to be in line with the story, the exquisite style of painting is in line with the girl's comics, and the crazy and solid style of painting is in line with the martial arts comics.

The sci-fi style of painting needs to be a little tall and mechanical.

It's like the comic JOJO, is the painting style bad?

Poor, very different.

Even in his previous life, in the circle of Japanese comics, he was rated as one of the top ten worst painting styles. But JOJO is very popular, and this is an example of the rational use of his own art style to fit the story.

Of course, the reason why JOJO is so popular is the ever-present taste of the protagonist in Araki Hirohiko's pen and the bizarre JOJO world, which is endlessly evocative.

Yi Qing's painting style is very mature, of course, he is completely painted according to the painting style of Naruto in his previous life, and he is naturally mature.

The painting style and story fit, and the storyboard is qualified.

Iida Ayano was a little surprised in her eyes, newcomers are not without these two qualifications, but most of them are not young.

Although Yi Qing tried her best to dress herself up maturely, her slightly green face let her know that the other party was definitely not big.

Thinking like this, Ayano Iida continued to watch.

She has a feeling that maybe she can find a good quality comic again today.
