030 interview
Ned Barty dragged his tired body back to his dormitory. He'd been in the library for days trying to finish that damn report, and the sheer workload was exhausting.
He put a pile of materials borrowed from the library on his desk, turned on the computer, and prepared to stay up late today to finish the report.
"Ding Dong", the computer's push message indicates that he has received a new email. He glanced at the bottom right corner of the computer screen, and couldn't help but feel refreshed.
It's actually a reply from AC Comics!
Is there finally news about the last job application?!
Ned Barty grasped the mouse with a slightly trembling hand and clicked on the email.
"Dear Mr. Barty, Your CV and story work have been received and have been cross-vetted to meet our company's interview requirements. Our company will organize a centralized interview in the near future, the specific time and place of the interview are to be determined, and there will be staff to contact you by phone, please keep your mobile phone open at any time. Finally, thank you for your trust and support to AC Comics. ”
“YEAH!!!”
Ned Barty jerked to his feet, clenched his hands into fists, and roared wildly, and at this moment, his physical and mental fatigue was swept away.
In fact, Ned Barty also had the idea of giving it a try, and sent his resume to AC Comics, he felt that he had little chance, first, he was still a junior in college, and had not yet graduated, and second, he was too busy with his studies during this time to create a new story, so he had to send a science fiction novel that he had written for his own amusement.
Unexpectedly, I actually got the opportunity to interview!
Thank you, Lady Luck!
Just as Ned Barty was drowning in excitement and excitement, his cell phone rang at an inopportune time.
He answered the phone with some dissatisfaction, and a girl's voice came from the other end: "Hey, Ned, I said, I have two tickets for the musical here, just tonight, let's go see them together, okay?"
Listening to the voice, it seems to be the blonde.
"Oh, sorry, can you find someone else? I have something else to ......"
"Ned ......," the girl's voice was a little anxious.
"I'm sorry, I had to hang, bye-bye. ”
Ned Barty interrupted the girl almost rudely, and threw her phone on the table.
What are you kidding, I'm going to be preparing for an interview for AC Comics, and maybe I'll be able to meet Mr. Frankie Miller, and at such a critical moment, you actually asked me to go to see some musical?!
Then, Ned Barty looked at the report file he had just opened and the materials he had borrowed from the library, and said heavily, "To hell, damn the report, my brother is going to fulfill his dream!"

There are also many manga artists, screenwriters, and colorists across the country who, like Ned Barty, have received initial interviews for AC Comics.
Among these people, there are screenwriters who have become famous, there are also depressed cartoonists, and there are also those who really have no talent for painting but are determined to go back on the road of comics.
But no matter what, they all got what is probably the best opportunity of their lives.
On the Friday before the release of the fifth installment of Superman, these people came to San Antonio one after another. Because the next two days are the days of the AC comics centralized interview.
At half past eight on Saturday morning, nearly 50 applicants from all over the country came to AC Comics.
Since there is still some time before the official start of the interview, most of these candidates see themselves as visitors and are excited to walk back and forth in the company.
Although the company can't take pictures, there is no explicit prohibition on taking photos with the company's logo, so a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the company, all lining up to take pictures with the logo.
After all, even if you don't succeed in the interview, you should leave something memorable.
This is Frankie Miller's company, but it's the birthplace of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Superman!
When it was almost 9 o'clock, the staff of AC Comics came to gather the candidates for the interview, and due to the large number of people participating in the interview, the reception room could not accommodate them, so they had to rest and wait in the large conference room.
After all the candidates entered the conference room, the staff took out a large box and asked the candidates to draw lots in turn, and after the lottery was completed, the staff began to explain some precautions for this interview.
"The interviews will be conducted in the order in which the lottery numbers have just been drawn. There are a lot of friends who come to the interview today, so the whole interview will last for a long time, maybe in the afternoon, or even in the evening...... But don't worry, we at AC Comics have prepared a sumptuous lunch and dinner for everyone. Candidates who are waiting for the interview are free to move around as they please, but remember not to make any noise, otherwise they will be disqualified from the interview. ”
Generally speaking, although it is a centralized interview, the rules are still not too much, and it is relatively free, so these candidates have no opinions.
"Do you have any questions? If not, we're going to start interviewing......"
"Excuse me, will Mr. Frank Miller be the interviewer?" asked a voice in the corner.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a regular employee of AC Comics, and I don't know about Mr. Frank Miller's schedule," the staff member paused for a moment before continuing, "However, Bob Turner, the head of the Warla Bros. Animation Channel, and Mark Duhon, a critic of Comic Frontier, are said to be interviewers for this interview......"
There was a commotion in the crowd.
As long as there are people who have been in the circle of American comics for a while, there is no one who doesn't know Bob Turner and Mark Duhon, although one of these two is doing animation, and the other is writing reviews, but they are both considered to be the top people in the industry, even if they are not as red and purple as Frank Miller now, their qualifications are enough to make most animation practitioners look up.
Today's interview has these two people in charge, and it must not be easy.
"Wow, bro, AC comics are amazing!"
Just as Ned Barty was also frightened by the news carried by the staff, a white boy next to him dressed in a very hip-hop dress touched his shoulder with his fist and said a somewhat cold quip.
"Yes, but I'm sure it's also Mr. Frank Miller's influence......" Ned Barty's response was a bit more serious than that.
"Uh-huh, I'm really looking forward to getting into AC Comics now......" the hip-hop kid danced, "Hey, by the way, my name is Nick Young, what about you?"
"Ned Barty. ”
"What position are you applying for? Please don't be a cartoonist, I think you seem to be very strong, although I am also very strong, but I think you are also a great opponent......"
Nick Young's mouth kept moving, making Ned Barty's head widen.
"Screenwriter ......"
"Wow, that's great, how about we work together in the future?" Ned Barty was interrupted by Nick Young as soon as he spat out a word, and put his hand on his shoulder by the way, "Tell you, my drawing skills are very good, you must work hard to write a good script to be worthy of my painting......"
Ned Barty is full of black lines, what is this, who said he wants to cooperate with you!
However, after Nick Young's interruption, his originally nervous mood relaxed.
At this time, the first interviewer walked out of the conference room, and today's long interview kicked off.
