The editor-in-chief of Hetian heard Xiong Zexin mention the problems he encountered, and said to her: "Are you helping Mr. Qin Han find a comic assistant? ”

Under the guidance of the editor-in-chief of Wada, Xiong Zexin found a strong body, like a weightlifter.

"Fan Gangsang, do you have a good rookie cartoonist at hand, I want to recommend a few people to Teacher Qin Han as assistants. Xiong Zexin asked.

"Oh, you wait. "Because of my busy work, I slept directly in the office last night, eating bucket noodles while rummaging through the stacked tables.

Soon, he found several original comic manuscripts in brown paper bags.

"These are all unsuccessful candidates for the Spring Newcomer Awards, but the editorial department feels that they still have a certain strength, so they keep the submissions. See for yourself and choose whoever you think is suitable. The contact information is available on the paper bag. ”

Xiong Ze thanked him, took the manuscripts to his seat, and began to read each manuscript carefully.

What Qin Han needs is someone who can come in handy immediately after taking over the work of a comic assistant, and he must have a certain foundation for comic creation.

If the assistant you find is a layman who knows nothing but enthusiasm and drive, and can only start with coloring and sticking dots, then it is completely meaningless.

Xiong Zexin carefully looked through the unsuccessful submissions.

I have to say that there are indeed very good reasons for the failure of these manuscripts.

Some of the paintings have a strange style, and the proportions of the characters are completely distorted. Some of them don't even have the most basic painting skills, and the lines drawn are crooked, like earthworms crawling over.

There are also stories that are too stream-of-consciousness, and what is told in the first and second pages of the sketch has nothing to do with what is told at all.

"I was a little envious of Iizuna before, and I thought it would be a good job to be in charge of the preliminary review of the newcomer awards, and maybe I could find a future manga master. Now that I know that it was really an ordeal. It's not anyone's drawings, they are all the same as Qin Han's, they look pleasing to the eye, and it's a kind of enjoyment......"

Xiong Zexin frowned like this, and read the submissions one by one.

But she didn't find a suitable candidate. The only one I liked, after calling, the other party said that he had lost interest in drawing comics and was ready to apply for an animation company and become an animator.

"I hope the last person can meet the requirements, otherwise I will have to be busy again today. Xiong Zexin opened the brown paper bag, took out the sketch, and read it page by page.

This comic submission tells the story of a college student who suddenly entered the peach blossom period and became popular, and then got entangled with many cute girls and opened the story of the palace.

This kind of plot has no bright spots, and comics that can see very serious traces of imitation are indeed impossible to win the Spring Newcomer Award, only the part that fails.

However, after reading a few pages of the original manuscript, Xiong Zexin's face gradually turned red.

Because,In this comic,Some of the depictions of intimate behavior between men and women,It's too radical.,It's too real.,It's good that there is no detailed performance of a certain part.,Otherwise,It's a complete R18 comic.。

Xiong Zexin works in a comic magazine with a large scale like "young_animal", and has seen a lot of more radical content and missed some sketches, so it can be said that he is already a female driver who has seen a lot of battles. But this time, I was still a little taken aback.

Moreover, this contributor, although the story is mediocre, does not have any bright spots. But his style of painting is very beautiful - for men, it is also very "practical".

Just looking at his drawing skills, he is not only the best in the Spring Newcomer Awards, but even many cartoonists who serialized in "young_animal" are completely incomparable.

"Well, looking at the author's character style and the use of lines, it seems that there is a shadow of Mr. Qin and Han......" Xiong Zexin also knows that now in the comic industry, many people have begun to imitate and learn the painting style of Qin and Han, so he is not surprised.

After reading all the drafts, she finally smiled: "Great, I finally found someone with good strength who can recommend to Teacher Qin Han." ”

She looked at the contact information of the contributor left on the brown paper bag, and knew that the author's name was Saeki Jun.

So, Xiong Zexin immediately picked up the phone.

On the other side, Jun Saeki, who wears blue and white striped overalls and works part-time at a Lawson convenience store, is busy replenishing the goods on the shelves.

Hearing the mobile phone ringing suddenly, he took it out and looked at it, and found that it was actually the phone number of the editorial department of "young_animal", so he hurriedly apologized to the store manager and ran to the lounge to answer the phone.

"Hello, I'm Saeki Jun. After pressing the answer button, Saeki felt his heart beat hard.

Before, after receiving a notice from the editorial department of "young_animal", telling him that he did not pass the primary selection of the Spring Newcomer Award, Saeki Jun was very shocked, and even a little disheartened for a while.

But now, the editorial office of "young_animal" has called again, which seems to have turned things around.

"Could it be that for some reason my submission went to the second round?" Saeki thought to himself.

But things didn't seem to be what he expected.

On the other end of the phone, it was not the editor who had dealt with him, but a female voice.

"Hello, Saeki-san, I'm the editor of "young_animal", Kumazawa Shin. Your submission did not pass the preliminary screening of the Spring Newcomer Awards, but after reading the manuscript, I was very impressed with Saeki-san's drawing skills. ”

Saeki Jun's expression was a little stiff when he heard the other party mention that he had lost the election, but after the other party praised his painting skills, he smiled a little proudly.

"Everywhere, I've just been in the industry for a long time, and I've spent more time painting than everyone else. ”

"It turns out that Saeki-san is no longer a pure newcomer, so why do you want to participate in the newcomer award?

"Uh...... That one...... I used to mainly serialize manga in "comic_ Mahime" ......"

"comic_What kind of manga magazine is that, I don't think I've heard of it. ”

Saeki Jun slurred, "Yes...... An R18 comic magazine. ”

After all, drawing that kind of cartoon is not a job that can make people's chests straight, and it is difficult to even tell their parents and relatives seriously.

Xiong Zexin is not prejudiced. For a comic practitioner like her, there is no distinction between high and low subject matter.

She added, "Saeki-san, your drawing skills are very good, but you don't know how to tell stories. I have a job that might allow you to improve your comic writing skills in an all-round way, are you willing to accept it?"
