057 Rules of society
Xiong Zexin and Editor-in-Chief Wada looked incredulous, thinking that they had auditory hallucinations.
Ever, only cartoonists have put off publication, and I haven't heard of anyone who wants to take the initiative to add more work to themselves.
Xiong Zexin's qualifications are still shallow, but the editor-in-chief of Hetian has fought wits and courage with those cartoonists who want to be lazy before, and suddenly feels that Qin Han is rarer than the two giant pandas that Dongying just received from Huaxia.
"Teacher Qin Han, what you said just now, weren't you joking? Really thought it through? Editor-in-chief Hetian hesitated.
"Of course." Qin Han nodded, "I'm still very confident in my creative speed. And for the manga to be created, the whole story has already been finalized in the mind, and there will be no creative bottlenecks. β
I've really met a rare type of manga artist!
In this industry, there are many talented cartoonists, and there are also many hard-working cartoonists. But there are very few cartoonists who can have both the advantages of diligence and talent.
Editor-in-chief Hetian felt that the Qin Han in front of him seemed to be incarnated as a five-star golden card with super good attributes. If you are a mobile game player, even if you have 100,000 yen, you must draw him!
He hurriedly opened his briefcase and took out the contract he had prepared in advance.
After Qin Han read it carefully, he found that there was no objection, so he signed it and stamped it with a private seal.
After completing these paper work, the editor-in-chief of Hetian stretched out his hand: "Mr. Qin Han, I hope that with the help of our magazine editors, you can create excellent comic works." β
Xiong Zexin, who was on the side, saw that the two shook hands, rolled his eyes, and interjected: "Teacher Qin Han, I see that you are full of confidence, have you already drawn the original manuscript?" β
Rookie cartoonists generally have to draw the name first, and then submit it to the editor in charge for review, and constantly revise until they are satisfied and feel that the quality can be published in the magazine, and then they will start to draw the original manuscript.
But Qin Han is obviously not a newcomer, and it is okay to take out the original manuscript directly.
"That's right."
"So, can we take a look at it first?" Xiong Zexin looked forward to it.
"Little Bear, what are you doing, it's so rude!"
"It's okay, since the contract has been signed, and Xiong Ze has become my editor-in-charge, it doesn't hurt for her to take a look."
Qin Han brought the two of them to the studio and showed them the results of his work these days.
Including the character design of "Dragon Sakura", the storyboard of the first two episodes, and the four pages of the original manuscript that have been completed.
The first page of the manuscript is a large-scale landscape painting.
April with cherry blossoms flying, a new school season.
Such a scene can be said to have appeared in countless campus toilet paper light novels in later generations. Even now, it's quite common, clichΓ© openings.
The only eye-catching thing is about the fine painting skills of the Qin and Han dynasties.
But on the second page, the plot takes a steep turn.
The male protagonist of the harem who does not have a look of sexual impotence walks on the road, looking forward to the upcoming pink academy life.
It turns out that those flying cherry blossom petals are actually countless scraps of paper.
A short-haired girl with a lonely look stood on the pedestrian bridge, tearing up the exam paper with only five points and throwing it away.
"It's amazing, it's only the second page, and I can't help but immerse myself in the story. Is this girl the main character? Is she not good at reading, or did she fail in the exam? Xiong Zexin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Exquisite and clean graphics. Different from the past, the groundbreaking style of painting has created a character that makes people shine. There is also the excellent narrative and expressiveness of the pictures, which brings a sense of immersion and makes the reader eager to know what will happen next.
On the third page, the protagonist Kenji Sakuragi appears. The handsome uncle walked across the overpass, caught a glimpse of Naomi Mizuno, who was tearing the rolls, and said to himself in a playful and mocking tone: "Sakura High School, my head is empty." β
The story stage of the original work was Longshan High School, but since Qin Han was commissioned by Yan Mingliang and his mother-in-law, it was changed to Yinghua High School.
"Sakura High School, empty head? Could it be that the stage of this comic is a third-rate high school? The story of the protagonist, as a teacher, who struggles hard to save a group of despised poor students? How can a group of stupid poor students change their fate? Yes, it must be through sports. The editor-in-chief of Wada thought that he had "guessed" the subsequent plot development, and showed a smug smile.
After all, he is also the editor-in-chief of the magazine, and he has been in the industry for nearly 30 years, what cartoons have he not read?
However, he was soon slapped in the face.
Although the officially completed manuscript is only four pages long, and the names behind it are scribbled like graffiti, the two editors can still see that this is an excellent comic in terms of camera use and narrative skills.
The story is compact, the plot is unexpected, but logical and very realistic.
Especially later, when Kenji Sakuragi was assembling in the gymnasium, he saw a group of students who were out of tune, and what he said was even more impressive.
"A bunch of fools, you, you will be losers for the rest of your life!"
"Listen to me, failure means being deceived. If you continue like this, you will only be deceived for the rest of your life! β
"Society has social rules, and if you want to survive, you have to follow the rules. However, these so-called rules are made by smart people, for their own profit, in order to exploit and defraud you fools! β
"Taxes, pensions, insurance premiums, medical care systems, salary systems...... These are all deliberately done by smart people to make it difficult to figure out, so that they can get a little more benefit from those stupid people who don't want to think. β
"You guys who don't use their brains and are always troublesome will only be deceived for the rest of your life, and you will be upside down for the rest of your life."
"Smart people don't get cheated and they make a profit. And stupid people will only be deceived all the time. This is the unspoken rule of this society. β
"So you, if you don't want to be cheated and don't want to suffer losses and be a loser, just give me a lesson!"
Although the picture is just a simple draft, this series of lines still makes people feel a little goosebumps when they read it.
Although these truths are more or less understood by people in society who have been in class for several years. But it is rare to be able to say it in such a simple and understandable, albeit slightly secondary, but very incendiary language.
What's more, this is just a comic, not an elaborate book that discusses the education system or social conditions.
"Teacher Qin Han, this is a cartoon about how a group of poor students study hard?" The editor-in-chief of Wada asked, his lips trembled a little because he was excited, and he didn't feel the slightest pleasure because he was slapped in the face because of the previous plot speculation.
On the contrary, this kind of unique and groundbreaking comic is exactly what he is looking for.
It is also very in line with the style of "young_animal" with a variety of genres and creative freedom.
"Teacher Qin Han, can I make a copy of these names and bring them back to the editorial department? A month later, two manga are ending their serialization due to their lack of popularity, and your manga is just in time to fill the gap. β
