Chapter 63: Supplement

Bao Congyun didn't say anything for a long time. His eyes were blocked by the reflection of the glass sheets, and he didn't know if they were open or closed.

Zhao Pang and Bian Wenqing didn't dare to speak out, so as not to disturb the editor-in-chief's thinking.

These two comics are indeed a bit difficult to choose.

There's no doubt that the idea of traveling through time and space is very good, and it has the potential to be a genre comic. And Wang Daoyi's story is very mainstream. The results in the magazine must be very stable, and even if it is not popular, it will not be ugly.

And "Shangjing Ghoul", although it has completely exploded another comic in terms of story and drawing skills, but this dark style of evil comics, it is difficult to say what the final result will be. There is a possibility of a fire, there is a possibility of a big pounce, there is absolutely no possibility of being caught in the middle.

If you ask for stability, "Back to the Past as a Eunuch" will definitely not disappoint. But if you want "Weekly Shangjing Boy" to challenge higher sales, "Shangjing Ghoul" has a very different style and is extremely good, which can undoubtedly attract more fans who don't read "Weekly Shangjing Boy".

From the perspective of the editors' personal tastes, except for those like Bian Wenqing with colored eyes, they all have to say that "Shangjing Ghoul" is indeed more in line with their spleen and stomach.

No matter how delicious the dish is, you will get tired of eating it every day, and you will get tired of reading the comics of the royal road every day.

Since the last century, because "Weekly Shangjing Boy" focuses on "hard work, blood, and friendship", most of the magazines that have been invested in "Shangjing Boy" have also featured comics with this theme.

It can be said that you have been an editor for as many years as you have watched this kind of comic.

It's not necessarily that a manga with three elements is necessarily good, especially for adults. I know that any hard work, blood, and friendship in reality are all dreams created by some cartoonists, but I still have to read this kind of comics. And the newcomer's contribution is full of all kinds of problems, so that they almost feel the urge to vomit when they see these three words.

Evil comics are diametrically opposed to the royal way. Their core is to tell the reader that hard work, enthusiasm, and friendship are all useless. If such a setting is accepted, the successful royal comics of the past will instead become the food for evil comics, and readers will become avid fans of this type of comics.

"Shangjing Ghoul" has such potential.

From Zhao Pang's professional point of view, this comic is undoubtedly so good that it makes people tremble. It's hard to imagine that such a comic is actually from the hands of a rookie editor + rookie cartoonist, and then by coincidence, they happened to bump into a serial meeting that had been scheduled.

Is it necessary to watch such a good work be replaced by another, not-so-mediocre work?

"Hmm......" A voice finally came out of the throat of Editor-in-Chief Bao, "Then the work that has been serialized this time is ......"

…………

"I'm rubbing, why are you so calm. Zhang Huaishan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I, an unrelated person, am more nervous than you." Are you the original author or am I the original author?"

"What's the use of being in a hurry. Am I nervous here, and I will have a better chance of winning the serial?" Li Er picked up the font ruler and continued to make marks on the original paper he copied, and even at this time he did not forget to continue to do the work at hand.

What he is doing now is determining the font size for the text on the original manuscript. After receiving the original manuscript of the cartoonist, the editor-in-charge will use a font ruler similar to a glass plate to mark the font size of each box, and then mark it with a red pen.

After the marks are made, the original will be swept into the computer, and the handwritten lines on the original will be removed with software, and the lines in different fonts will be put in according to the marks made at the beginning.

Once the layout is complete, the magazine is sent to the printing house for printing. This is the process that a set of comics must go through in the editorial office.

"Ah, they're done. The editors-in-chief are back!" Zhang Huaishan, who had been paying attention to the movement outside, saw the movement in the elevator room at a glance.

Lear's seat was closer to the corner, and there was a partition in front of it, so there was no movement in the corridor. In addition, he was busy with the work in hand, so he didn't get up.

"Li Er, Editor-in-Chief Bai called you, it is estimated that it is news about your comics!" Zhang Huaishan said with some excitement.

"Huh?" Li Er stood up and looked around, and sure enough, Bai An held up a general's belly and slapped a big white palm like a fan at him. Li Er looked over there and pointed at himself with a surprised expression, and Bai An nodded.

He ran over and said, "You're looking for me?"

"Come to the office and talk about it. "Bai An is a little mysterious.

Looking at the reaction of the editor-in-chief Bai An, Li Er was a little confused. There were just the two of them in the office. Bai An slowly poured himself a cup of tea: "Drink, good Tieguanyin." ”

"No, thank you. Editor-in-Chief Bai, did the comics I submitted pass or not?"

"Young man, don't be in a hurry. You sit first. Bai An took a sip of the elegant fragrance of tea and closed his eyes intoxicated. "Xiao Li, what about your comics, I've also read them. The quality is very good, and if it were placed in any of the previous serial conferences, it would be able to pass guò. ”

Li Er chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Bai An said: "However, Wang Daoyi's new work this time is also very good." And his comics are more royal than yours and more in line with the style of the magazine, so ......"

"So he's got through, I can't serialize?" Li Er's face had turned pale. "No, I can't accept such an outcome. ”

"I'll just say, young man, you're too impatient. I haven't finished yet......" Bai An took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Your "Ghoul in Shangjing" has also been serialized. However, it is not on "Weekly Shangjing Boy", but "Weekly Shangjing Teenager NEXT". ”

""Weekly Shangjing Youth NEXT", is it a supplement that comes out once a season?"

Although "Weekly Shangjing Boy NEXT" claims to be a supplement to "Weekly Shangjing Boy", it only sells about 200,000 copies, not even a fraction of "Weekly's Shangjing Boy".

Most of the serialized ones above are the end of the manga, or the experimental works of new writers. Occasionally, veteran writers publish some short stories on it, but neither the quality of the works nor the influence of the magazine can compare with that of "Weekly Shangjing Boy".

Once when "Wanyou King" was almost cut in half, he almost appeared in this supplement. But in the end, I missed out on this magazine. Unexpectedly, Li Er and Zero's new work, "Shangjing Ghoul", would actually start in this supplement.

"That's right, although the www.biquge.info of the Pen Fun Pavilion is a little lower, but it's better than no serialization opportunity. Originally, the editor-in-chief decided to let you be eliminated directly, if it weren't for the hard work of a group of editors-in-chief Zhao Pang, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have the opportunity to experiment with serialization, you have to thank Editor-in-Chief Zhao. ”

"That Zhao Pang Zhao Editor-in-Chief?" Li Er said with some surprise. You must know that he and Editor-in-Chief Zhao have not spoken a few times, but Editor-in-Chief Zhao has tried his best to get to this kind of Cheng for him, and this time he owes a lot of favors.

"yes. If the results of the trial serialization are good, there is a chance that it will be transferred to the main journal for serialization. Keep it up. It's a bit of a shame to say, if your story were a little more royal, it might go straight to guò. Ay...... In fact, the quality of one or two stories between you and Wang Dao is very good, and if you participate in the serial meeting separately, you will be able to get through guò if you don't do it well. It's a pity that it's all right together. ”

"By the way, Editor-in-Chief Bai, Wang Daoyi's new work, what type of comics is it? ”

"Oh, I've got a copy here, you can take it back and read it. Bai An thought that he wanted to learn from his failures, "You don't have to pay it back, summarize it well." Huh?"
