Chapter 6 Dreams and Rejections

"So, did you refuse our invitation?" Director Ma pondered for a moment, his fingers lightly tapped the teacup, and squinted at He Chen.

This is not the first time he has been rejected, there are so many champions in the domestic college entrance examination, there is always a time when he starts late and is snatched away by other famous schools.

But this was the most regrettable, the most incomprehensible, and even the most angry one he felt!

You said that if you want to go to another prestigious school, he can understand it, and will only sigh that he is a step slower and send his blessings.

But when He Chen refused on the grounds of what kind of children's stuff, Director Ma was extremely angry.

How many scholars work diligently and contribute, but in the end they are blocked out of the elite because of their talents, but He Chen actually spoils his talents, which is an insult to those scientists who are unknown but have contributed their lives!

Yao Ning stopped writing, and in He Chen's body, she suddenly saw her former self - it was a youth chasing her dreams!

Once upon a time, she forgot her original intention of reporting impartially and objectively, and began to pursue the attention of readers.

Compared with the stubborn He Chen, she compromised and was smoothed out by reality, but He Chen did not compromise, even if he was not accepted by the world, even if he was despised by the world, he was still fighting for his dream!

She suddenly wanted to see He Chen, if he could fulfill his dream?

He Xian was annoyed, you don't cherish the opportunity that others can't ask for, and you don't say anything, and he just wanted to teach He Chen a lesson, but was stopped by Chen Ping.

I saw Chen Ping shaking his head gently, after many years of husband and wife, the two have already had the same heart, and He Xian understood what his wife meant: the child has grown up, and he can make his own decisions about what he wants to do in the future.

He Xian looked at his son with a firm gaze, from the very beginning of his speech, every word was orderly, obviously it was not his impulse, he had been preparing for a long time.

He Xian sighed, his son's stubbornness is very similar to his own, once he decides on something, no one can influence it. He completely let go of his body, leaned on the sofa, he no longer interfered with the child's decision, as a parent, he did not want the child to get ahead, but to ask him to be safe and secure for the rest of his life......

"Nope. ”

He Chen shook his head and looked at the manual in his hand, as a comprehensive university, Yenching University certainly has an art school, there is an art major in it, and there is a painting class in the course introduction.

Since there is no comic major in this world, choose this one and learn basic drawing brushwork.

"I want to go to Yenching University School of Fine Arts. ”

Director Ma was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, it seems that this kid is really not whimsical, he hopes to integrate art and art into the villain book.

But is it possible? Can children understand it? Will adults read it?

"Okay, no problem!"

The School of Arts of Yenching University originally needed to assess professional skills, but Director Ma wanted to see He Chen's reaction after recognizing his dream and reality, so he made a decision directly.

"If you want to change your major, you can come to me at any time!" This sentence will be valid for two years. ”

Director Ma couldn't bear to let He Chen be wasted, so he made a promise.

The weight of this commitment is extremely heavy, under normal circumstances, it will not be allowed to change after choosing a major, if you want to change, it can only be in the first year, and it needs to have a certain relationship, and you have to pass the professional assessment, the procedure is extremely troublesome.

Therefore, people are cautious when choosing a major.

But Director Ma actually gave He Chen a promise within two years, which means that as long as He Chen gives up his comics within these two years, then he can change his major at any time!

But will He Chen give up?

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid you'll never be able to wait for me!" He Chen raised his head and smiled confidently.

Director Ma also laughed: "Then wait and see, I also hope that you will never come to me." ”

If you look for him, He Chen's dream will be shattered;

If he didn't find it, then He Chen's dream may have succeeded, even if it didn't succeed, it means that He Chen still hasn't given up his dream, and the person who chases his dream, no matter how unacceptable his dream is, his spirit deserves everyone's respect.

He really wanted to see where He He Chen could go in the future.

After the matter was settled, Director Ma and the others said goodbye, and He Chen and his parents sent them to the door.

Although He Chen and Director Ma have differences, they only adhere to different concepts, and He Chen respects Director Ma who can say such heartfelt words to him.

Before leaving, Yao Ning said to He Chen: "Your comic story is very exciting. ”

She was the only one who had gone through the content of the four short sentences.

"Thank you!" He Chen smiled, very happy, not because of Yao Ning's praise for him, but because even after crossing the world, the charm of EVA is still recognized.

This is the first reader, and He Chen's goal is to promote those classics to the world!

"Xiao Chen, are you so confident?Does this kind of villain book really have such a great charm?" Back at home, his father He Xian casually looked at EVA and expressed puzzlement.

The four episodes are only the first episode of the content, and they have just introduced several characters of EVA, and their depth is far from being expanded, and this is a fantasy story, which is aimed at teenagers, and it is natural that parents don't like it.

"No, I'm not confident, but I believe in the charm of comics!" He Chen deliberately emphasized, what he believes is not himself, but the charm of those classics that transcend the country, the race, and the world!

"Brother, villain...... Is the comic really that good?"

He Feifei also looked at it page by page, she hadn't looked carefully before, but when she calmed down and looked carefully, she suddenly found that these characters whose styles were completely different from those in real TV movies suddenly had an inexplicable attraction, attracting her to watch it, showing her a real world that was not weaker than TV movies at all.

"You'll know...... One day, my brother will let them list the comics in the textbook!" He Chen rubbed his sister's hair, from not being recognized to being listed in the textbook, He Chen's ambition is very big, and the road is still very long!

He Chen was very glad that he had an enlightened father, and if it weren't for the final acquiescence of his parents, he would not have been able to make such a rebellious decision. Therefore, he has to do a better job so that he can prove how correct his parents' decision is.

He asked his father about some publishing houses, which have self-funded publishing and publishing agency distribution, the former has no requirements, as long as you give money, you can publish, but the publishing channel has to be contacted by the author himself; the latter is to submit, after the submission is approved, the contract is signed with the publisher, the publishing house publishes and distributes, and the author only needs to write the book to collect money.

His parents didn't object to him going down this path, and he was already grateful, and he wouldn't use his parents' money to publish it - even if he was confident in EVA. So I had to go and submit.

He Chen selected a few publishers in the city that had published villain books and sent EVA out. Then, while confidently waiting for a reply, he continued to draw the content behind the EVA.

In his mind, EVA pass guò review is a matter on the iron nail board, and there is no possibility that zài does not pass guò, even if he doesn't tell the content of the story, just EVA's painting style has already exploded those villain books several times.

However, only five days later, the first publishing house gave him an unexpected recovery.

Rejection ......

The damn thing was rejected!

He Chen was furious, did the editor who reviewed EVA have his eyes on the long dog? What kind of garbage can you pass through guò, why can't you pass guòEVA?!

He greeted all the female relatives of the publisher and the editor before reading the reasons for rejection.

"Hello, Mr. He, because your work "EVA" does not meet the requirements of this publishing house, so we can not publish, you are welcome to continue to contribute, if you need to publish at your own expense, please contact the phone XXX-XXXXXXXX, and the editor XX to discuss related matters. ”

Not up to the mark?

What a request?

He Chen is a little crazy, EVA wants to say bloody, some pictures are indeed very bloody, and there are also some edge-rubbing **...... But none of this is in the first episode!

And EVA is an alternate world, and it doesn't reflect reality, the first episode is about the resistance of humans when they face monster attacks, full of positive energy, why doesn't it meet the requirements?!

In the past few days, the publisher has replied to the manuscript one after another, and all of them have been rejected without exception.

He Chen pondered hard, and even temporarily put down the content behind EVA, he couldn't figure out why EVA, which can be called a milestone in the animation industry, was rejected?

Until I saw a reply from the last publisher......

"Hello, Mr. He, your EVA story is very exciting......"

Well, He Chen nodded while watching, this edit is good, at least I read it carefully, unlike others, I just glanced at it casually and threw EVA aside, since this one has finished reading, it should always be clear!

"Distinctive characters ......"

In terms of image shaping, EVA is absolutely second to none, and even anime after EVA, each of them can find a prototype from EVA.

"Painting techniques are ...... like never before"

Isn't this nonsense, although He Chen's level is very poor, but he copied it, and his style is still obvious. Just with those graffiti garbage, can it be compared with professional painters?

"But ......"

Just when He Chen thought that the overall situation had been decided and the publishing house had been reviewed by Guò, these two words suddenly popped up, pulling He Chen's heart up.

But what's the difference?

He Chen continued to read with curiosity.

"This kind of subject matter is not suitable for children, and it is not built to be published. ”

The letter fell lightly from He Chen's fingers, and He Chen's heart was like 10,000 primordial machines running wildly, and only the sentence "not suitable for children" echoed in his mind.

He finally understood why EVA was rejected!

Their goal is only children! Where do we put our young people!

This time, He Chen didn't even have the heart to scold.

He finally understood the difficulty of his journey, and this deep-rooted discrimination against comics was not just lip service, but rooted in the consciousness of each and every one of them!

First of all, if the target audience is not children, the publisher really won't even think about it!

Could it be that he really had to take the path of self-financed publishing?

However, the cost of self-published is extremely high, and even if it is published, how can the sales channels contact them? Publishers have this understanding, how can they persuade the distributors to agree to let their comics, which are not children's at all, be released on the shelves?

He Chen was confused......
