Chapter Thirty-Eight

Put down the manuscript, Li Er's stomach was already roaring.

Touching the obviously sunken stomach, Li Er looked at his phone, it was already a little past. He actually missed the meal, which is simply unthinkable for a foodie.

Or because he was so shocked by the quality of this manuscript that he unconsciously read it. Although the level is not up to the level of small TV, it is a genius compared to many bland serialized works!

First of all, the idea is original. In the original ordinary detective suspense comics, magic elements were added and a medieval setting was set.

There was a straight cliff at the beginning. The image of a protagonist burying his own corpse immediately attracts his attention.

Then at the beginning, two consecutive frames are used to echo each other, that is, the protagonist looks at the pocket watch in his hand. This detail actually implies that the protagonist has traveled through time, because the prophet's ability is to rewind the previous thirty minutes of imagery as mentioned later.

The hands on the watch are exactly thirty minutes apart from the previous hands.

Then deduce this part of the plot, and also introduce the three most important messages of the Shadow Knight, Holy Water, and Blood Witch Philia through the mouth of the prophet.

And later, sure enough, the two concepts of witch Philia and saint were used. As for the Shadow Knight, although there is no introduction, it can be guessed that the stream should be the Shadow Knight. However, it is unknown why he killed Philia, the witch who is also a Shadow Knight.

The final battle ends, ending in a white grid, in exactly what a loop. Because at the beginning, the manga starts with a black grid and ends with a white grid. And the composition of the two is exactly the same.

The plot is reasonable, suspenseful, **, and there are ups and downs. The story is cleverly conceived, and the creativity is also novel, and if this can't be selected, he really doesn't know what works will be selected.

He subconsciously looked for the cover, and it was then that he noticed that the work was called "5_wizard", which translates to five wizards. The author's name is also very interesting, called Not Dead. Not dead, doesn't it mean that you are not dead, and you can still draw comics, you are definitely not dead.

The only thing that can be picked on is probably the surviving painting. The painting is really bad enough, if it weren't for the fact that he could automatically fill in the picture in his head, other editors would probably brush it off when they saw it.

It's just that although the drawing is poor, the storyboard is very good. With such storyboard and story skills, why bother drawing original comics, find a drawing and redraw it, it's definitely much better than handing it over like this......

Another point is that its story is a bit dark, and it can be seen that the survivors like horror and dark stories. Although "Shangjing Boy" also has this type of comics, they are not mainstream, and even if it is a dark comic, the final ending is a positive energy plot such as the good guys being saved and the bad guys being punished.

And the comics that are not dead are a bit too bloody, five wizards, four actually died, and only the protagonist survived.

Shonen magazines would never serialize comics with such negative energy. In fact, many hot-blooded fans don't even dare to draw important main and supporting roles to death, and even many heavyweight opponents in "Adventure King" are only seriously injured in the end, rather than killed.

is the kind of "Weekly Beijing Youth" that faces the adult crowd, and there are more works in this style.

But there have always been such authors. thought that "Weekly Shangjing Boy" had the highest sales, so he deliberately submitted his work to "Shangjing Boy" to test the waters. It doesn't matter if it's appropriate or not.

Because if he can get the approval of the No.1 comic magazine "Shangjing Boy", this cartoonist can go to any magazine. It's not like "Shangjing Youth", which always feels like it's a layer of difference.

After thinking about it, Li Er stuffed the manuscript paper of "5_wizard" into the original kraft paper bag, and placed the thick kraft paper bag on the side of Tong Guò on his desk.

And there, there is only one envelope in which it is alone.

Although I don't know why Zou Gu put it in the rejection pile, according to Li Er's scoring criteria, this work does greatly exceed his score line.

You must know that he has read comics for a morning, and none of them have reached this level.

After finding this slippery book, he couldn't help but continue to rummage through the rejection area on the floor. If this area is full of comics of this calibre, then he is really lucky.

But an hour later, Li Er found that there was only one special "5_wizard". However, at this time, he also sorted the rejected manuscripts by the way, and the damaged envelopes were also stained with duct paper in time, and the intern editor would have much less work if he sent back the envelopes.

After doing all this work, Lear continued to look at his part of the manuscript. After seeing more, the speed naturally increases, and the efficiency in the afternoon is more than twice that of the morning.

And Li Er read every part carefully, not only read every line, but also noticed the details drawn by the cartoonist in every frame.

That's the attitude of an editor.

Mountains of manuscripts were wiped out one by one, and the Tongguò district, which had only a single manuscript, gradually rose up. But in the end, there are only three more works.

Both are mediocre works that don't say much, but the overall level is quite high, the way the story is told is interesting, and the picture looks comfortable.

There is another one, the painting skills are really first-class. Li Er once saw a compliment in the barrage of a small TV, called "Every frame can be intercepted and made into a desktop." "And this comic, every grid can be taken down to make a desktop.

This work, called "Zero, Water Droplets, Wings", is a very stream-of-consciousness and trivial comic work, as the title suggests. It's better to call it a picture book than a comic. However, the painter's painting skills elevate this very boring work to the level of a work of art.

His brushstrokes reminded Li Er of a cartoonist in a small TV, Ken Ohata. However, this author, called Zero Realm, draws better than Ken Obata.

If it weren't for the fact that his story was so bad, Lear would definitely recommend him as the first one. But the story of this comic is so bad!

Li Er looked at the two best works in his hands.

One is empty with stories and no painting skills, and the other is empty with painting skills without stories. Why don't you two complement each other?

It's a pity that he doesn't have that magic either, combining the two comics together.

The whole afternoon passed, and Zou Gu did not return to his room. That's fine, Li Er doesn't know what to do when he sees him. But Zou Gu didn't do it first, and he didn't want to do it. And not a violent maniac, who will be addicted to fighting.

Thinking so, the door suddenly opened, and Li Er looked back and saw that it was indeed Zou Gu. There was also a strong smell of safflower oil on his body, which could be smelled from afar.

Li Er rolled up his sleeves, if Zou Gu was not convinced, he would not build a fight with him again. Unexpectedly, Zou Gu didn't dare to look at him very cowardly, so he moved the stool to the corner and sat down. Lear opened his mouth in disbelief, as if he had punched the cotton......

That's it?

But it's normal to think about it, Zou Gu can't beat him, why do you still fight him. Zou Gu is not the kind of character who is very tough, but then again, if he really fights him to the end, Li Er will respect him as a man. If you don't fight like this, you will be directly cowardly, you are still a man, aren't you?

Zou Gu seemed to feel Li Er's eyes, and shrank back again.

Hey, no matter how shrunk you are, you can't disappear directly from a 1.9 meter man, right?

muttered a few words, and Li Er himself felt bored. Now that he had finished reading the original manuscript, he picked up the Tong Guò manuscript on the left and prepared to take it to Editor-in-Chief Zhao Pang for a look.
