Chapter 50: Divergence
As soon as the words fell, Cao Shouxin, the editor-in-chief of the second group, raised his hand. Zhao Pang smiled and propped up his thick arms.
The two lone hands were like magnets, sucking up the fragmented arms. One, two, the editors' arms popped out like bamboo shoots after the rain, and they got four or five percent of the votes in an instant.
Only the third group is still waiting.
The editor-in-chief of the three groups, Bian Wenqing, crossed his arms. Qingxiu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he didn't read the content, and he didn't care about flipping comics that were so bad. But these raised hands seemed to hit him in the face, making him feel hot pain.
The only ones who didn't raise their hands now were the editors he had brought. In addition, Zou Gu also held on to his face and did not raise his hand.
“…… I, I can't deceive my conscience. A triad of editors raised their hands tremblingly.
"Me too. ”
"Sorry, editor-in-chief, I think this comic is pretty good. ”
One, two, three, and a few more people raised their hands. Bian Wenqing almost gritted a good tooth, and was so angry that the top of his head was about to smoke: "Good, good, good." If you like to vote, vote, anyway, I will definitely give this work a zero score in the finals. ”
"Then this work is over. After counting more than eighty percent of the editors who raised their hands, Zhao Pang said.
Cao Shouxin nodded.
The two most important works have passed, and the big stone in Li Er's heart has also fallen to the ground. Zou Gu's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, but Li Er didn't care very much. He had already torn his face with Zou Gu in the company, and it was not once or twice that he offended him. What is there to worry about such an incompetent villain?
The only thing that made him a little concerned was that Bian Wenqing, the editor-in-chief of the three groups, seemed to have a misunderstanding of him. Maybe his approach is indeed a bit unruly, but is it the right choice to really let a good comic dust?
Lear didn't think so.
An editor like Zou Gu doesn't even look at it, and brushes down the work after turning a few pages, which is absolutely wrong.
This is also a great disrespect to the author who works with his heart.
As an editor, the greatest joy is when you dig into an excellent work. Especially when others think it's a bad horse, you can tell at a glance that he's a maxima. Watching him become popular, such a refreshing is no worse than creating a best-selling work by himself.
But if you really let a work leak out of your fingers, and this work is still on fire! The editor who rejected the manuscript will also be depressed and have internal injuries.
Next, a few more works were selected, and when the scores were finally counted, "Water Drops, Zero, Wings", a comic that Li Er was not very optimistic about, actually entered the finals with the first place.
"5_wizard" was a little closer, but also finished in sixth place to make the final ten benches.
However, this is only a temporary position. The final round will be reviewed by the editorial department and the cartoonist, and the scores of each will be divided evenly. The one with the highest total score is the one who finishes first.
Time flies, a week passes.
Because Wanyou's God Card duel has ended. The ranking of "Wanyou King" was slightly lowered, and it was also fixed in the top three.
"One Punch Man" doesn't know if it gave up or what, the plot is getting weaker and weaker, and it has fallen from eighth to tenth.
The feedback from the teachers has also been sent back one after another.
Of course, Li Er looked at the evaluation of the two works he submitted for the first time.
Among them, "Water Drops, Zeros, and Wings", which has the best painting skills, has a good score on the editorial department. Especially Bian Wenqing, who actually scored ten full marks in painting skills, and the story is relatively low and has nine, and his evaluation of this work is: "The painting skills that are almost like works of art are amazing." The author has created a beautiful elven kingdom with delicate brushstrokes, and it is hard to imagine that this is a comic work. ”
Bao Congwen: "The best picture in this competition, the story is a bit empty, and the characters are not out of the body enough, and this aspect needs to be strengthened." ”
Zhao Pang: "It's hard to imagine that an eighteen-year-old young man can paint such a picture, and he is looking forward to his new work. ”
Cao Shouxin: "The painting skills are vivid. ”
On the cartoonist's side, it was a little worse, although Mr. Potato Bean of "The King of Adventure" gave the picture a score of 10, but gave a zero score in the story column: "I didn't even finish half of it, and I fell asleep halfway." ”
Other authors have similar comments: "The plot is very old-fashioned, like a stream-of-consciousness novel." ”
"I don't know. ”
In the case of "5_wizard", it is exactly reversed.
Bian Wenqing kept his promise to give all the options of this comic a zero score, and his evaluation was also very excessive: "I have never seen such a garbage comic, and the drawing is not as good as my niece in kindergarten, I can't imagine that such a picture will appear in a magazine!"
Bao Congwen: "The story is very creative, a little anticlimactic. The picture is a failure. ”
Zhao Pang: "A good work that can make people forget the author's painting skills, the plot is full of ups and downs, and the ending is unexpected, full marks!"
Cao Shouxin: "The story is good. ”
Unlike the mixed reputation of the editorial department, the cartoonists have received overwhelming praise. Potato Bean's evaluation is: "Great, great, great, if it weren't for the story only having a perfect score of 10, I really want to score 100 points!"
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a unique work, and the editorial department actually chose to send such a work, which scared me, but after reading it, I found that it was unexpectedly excellent!"
And Gao Qiao, the author of "Wanyou King", commented: "This style of painting reminds me of what I looked like when I was responsible for painting blue-eyed white dragons......"
……
When he was free, Li Er drew another sentence "One Punch Man" and posted it on the Internet. Click or three or two kittens, and there is no reply.
Although he was a little frustrated, he decided to update the story every week.
Anyway, I don't expect this to make money, I just hope that more people can see it and give him some feedback.
The results of the last three places are in. "Water Drops, Zeros, Wings", which was widely acclaimed for its drawing skills, won a silver award, and "5_wizard" also won a bronze award for the high rating of cartoonists. Both works entered the top three, and Li Er can be described as the big winner this time.
But Lear wasn't too happy. "5_wizard" minus Bian Wenqing's score, the average score is the highest among all works. All 0 lowered his score, otherwise the gold award this time should be "5_wizard".
However, after getting the ranking, it means that these three can make their debut as cartoonists. The editorial department also asked Li Er to contact the two according to the phone number left by the two when they submitted their papers.
In addition to the distribution of bonuses and other matters, it is also necessary to ask them to sign a contract with "Weekly Shangjing Boy". The level of the contract is, of course, a newcomer's contract, and the annual salary and benefits are less than that of the old author, and it also restricts the inability to jump to a peer company.
This is also a measure that comic magazines often take, otherwise the author who has worked hard to spend resources to cultivate will just leave, which is too unpleasant.
If Li Er and the author meet and sign the contract. Then it is tacitly accepted that the two new editors are under his name.
After all, their works were also excavated by Li Er. According to the regulations, who audits and who is responsible for serving as the editor. This is also a perk for review editors.
Unexpectedly, some people were unhappy to see Li Erlian win two potential seeds......
