Chapter 47: Emergencies
Serial meetings, it's a war!
At the meeting, the first thing to decide is to make a new series of manga, and when the number of parts is decided, it will be decided which manga to finish or cut in half!
There are only 2 to 4 new serials that can be confirmed at a time.
And those comics that were cut in half were obviously not ranked well in the popularity survey.
Therefore, every time a new serialized comic is born, it means the end or halving of another serialized comic, which is undoubtedly a very cruel thing.
At this time, the editor-in-chief Ji Hongfei sat at the head of the conference table, and the long conference table was lined with four groups of editors-in-chief and deputy editors-in-chief, and in front of each editor there were about ten or so manuscript bags of new serialized storyboards, as well as a brief evaluation of each editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of their new serialization.
Ding Hebei is a little unsettled now, she doesn't know why she resisted "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" so strongly before, Teacher Yi'an's new serialization, and she didn't even review it, let alone evaluate it, maybe because she wanted Teacher Yi'an to draw the long story of "The Sword of the Yue Girl" too much......
This is actually a kind of rebellious psychology at work, anyway, she thought, no matter whether she reviews it or not, this new serial of Teacher Yi'an will eventually pass guò, so why do you have to review and evaluate?
And before Mr. Yi An, he didn't say that he didn't need any editors to criticize her work, which is undoubtedly what made Ding Hebei the most unhappy, since you said so, then why should I review it again?
This is the real reason why Ding Hebei resisted "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Although Ding Hebei is a responsible editor, he also has a temper.
If An Yi's work is not sure that it can be serialized, Ding Hebei will review it carefully.
At the serialization meeting, the order of discussion of the works was uncertain, so I heard an editor-in-chief named Yu Chenyun speak first: "Then let me start." "Baquan 2" is the work of my senior cartoonist Li Guoxing, and the editor in charge is Fu Lei. Since it is the sequel to Mr. Li Guoxing's most popular "Ba Boxing", I hope you can be cautious when discussing and evaluating it, after all, the sequel to the popular work is relatively difficult to get praise, and it will make readers hesitate to eat the old book......"
The editors heard that "Li Guoxing", a senior cartoonist who had once entered the top five in the popularity survey form with "Baquan", did not express any expectations, because Li Guoxing has opened several serials in succession since "Baquan", and the results were all dismal, and another new serialization submitted at the last serialization meeting was directly rejected, and there was no room for revision.
Works that can be submitted to the serial conference will first be divided into two types, one is the pass guò and the other is the rejection, of which the work of the pass guò will have two results, namely-
1. Serialization.
2. Re-revise and submit again according to the comments of the editors.
Generally speaking, if there are only 2 or 4 works of Tong Guò, then you can directly determine the new serialization, and if there are more than 4 works, some will be asked to revise them again and then submit them.
There are also two kinds of results for the rejection of works, namely-
1. Use the short story as a trial version to observe the popularity and then consider whether to serialize it.
2. It is not possible to directly reject it at all.
The most humiliating of these is undoubtedly the second type of rejection, and only works that have no bright spots at all will suffer this most tragic experience.
And Li Guoxing, a former first-line cartoonist, has now fallen to this point, which shows how cruel the competition in this serial conference is, and it can also be seen from the side that the decline of old-school martial arts works.
In this case, Li Guoxing can only choose to paint "Baquan 2".
All the editors present took out the storyboard of "Baquan 2", and everyone flipped through it casually, and then looked at the evaluation on the back of the manuscript bag, and basically did not look closely.
Then I heard Liu Haiqian, the deputy editor-in-chief of his personality, say unceremoniously: "The garbage of fried cold rice is directly dismissed, and there is no need to change it." ”
Yu Chenyun frowned, and said lightly: "Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu, please take a closer look." ”
Liu Haiqian shook his long hair like a rock band artist, pursed his lips, and didn't bother to say anything more.
Wu Yixiang, the editor-in-chief of the "Mediterranean" hairstyle, said: "The quality is not bad, and the various routines should be very in line with the appetite of readers who love to read "Xia Ying", and the previous "Ba Boxing" can compete with "Xia Ying" when it is the most popular, which shows that Mr. Li Guoxing still has a reader base, and I think "Ba Quan 2" can be directly serialized. ”
Ding Hebei also spoke: "Although there are still many readers who still miss "Baquan", but I don't think it's okay to "Baquan 2", Mr. Li Guoxing's research on routines has improved a lot, but it is still too uninnovative and not interesting at all. My opinion is to give Mr. Li Guoxing a chance to revise. ”
Hua Wenbin, the editor-in-chief of Liu Haiqian's group, said: "Mr. Li Guoxing should not reluctantly start a new work, painting "Baquan 2", I think this idea is good, but this kind of sequel needs to be considered again and again to surpass the previous work, so my opinion and that of Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ding are the same. ”
The editors spoke one after another, and finally voted by a show of hands, and in the end, the result of "Baquan 2" was Tong Guò, but it was sent back for re-revision, and it will be submitted to the serialization meeting next time.
Every serialized work that is submitted is probably such a process.
It wasn't until it was the turn of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that Ji Hongfei saw the blank evaluation on the back of the manuscript bag, and the editor-in-chief who had been smiling and saying "Tong Guò" and "Rejected" was the editor-in-chief, but he restrained his smile and said directly to Wu Yixiang and Ding Hebei's group: "This new serialization of newcomer Mr. Wang Yi'an, why don't you have any evaluation?" ”
The editors of the other three groups were also curious about this, and they all looked at Wu Yixiang and Ding Hebei.
Wu Yixiang's ability and vision are not very good, but his ability to shake the pot is first-class, and he said with an unchanged face: "Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ding thinks that there is no need to review Mr. Yi'an's work at all, anyway, it will definitely be serialized through Guò, I agree with Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ding's point of view." ”
"Uh...... I, I'm not ......" Ding Hebei was pitted very badly, her face was flushed, she couldn't say that she was just affected by strong prejudices.
"Who said that the new serialization of the newcomer king will definitely be able to pass the guò serialization meeting, what kind of place will the serialization meeting be? One word? Editor-in-Chief Ji, what do you think? No, you have to use the prerogative of the editor-in-chief to force the new series of guò, right? ”
Lei Ruili, the most powerful of the four editors-in-chief and the most coveted editor-in-chief, is said to have a backer at the top of the media group.
Ji Hongfei took a deep breath, his face sank like water, he didn't expect this kind of turmoil to happen at the serial meeting, one of his hands rubbed An Yi's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", sighed helplessly, and said: "Of course I won't do anything." In this case, let's review Mr. Yi'an's works together, Lao Wu, Xiao Ding, you can also take a look, it won't take long. ”
An Yi, An Yi, whether your new serial can pass guò this time, you really have to rely on hard power...... It's not just a matter of formality.
