Chapter 36: Too Low Requirements
An Yi used her actions to sue the two editors why she was qualified to say the almost wild request before......
Ding Hebei looked at An Yi's eyes at this time, as if she was looking at a monster, if other teachers saw An Yi picking up a paintbrush and being able to complete a perfect manuscript on her own in less than two hours, and all the backgrounds, sticking dots, blacking out, etc., she would definitely be looking at a monster like Ding Hebei!
For example, some rookie cartoonists who don't have an assistant can spend more than ten hours drawing an original and revising it to perfection! Drawing comics isn't just scribbling!
Thinking about the fact that readers don't even need to read a page for a minute, this strong contrast is really embarrassing.
Not only cartoonists, but also online writers with ideals and pursuits in order to write high-quality articles, often can only write a few hundred words an hour, write a chapter of 2,000 words, it takes three or four hours, but readers only need less than five minutes to read it.
Readers who like to spray the author write it in person and feel the hard work of the writer.
The writer and the reader should be considerate of each other.
Therefore, it is not an easy thing to draw comics and write novels...... The former takes much more time and effort than the latter.
It is precisely because of this unimaginable hardship that ordinary people can hardly imagine that the two editors, Ji Hongfei and Ding Hebei, will feel that An Yi was talking nonsense before.
However, after An Yi directly proved himself with actions, in the end, Ji Hongfei compromised: "After all, it is still popularity that determines comics, if Mr. Yi An's creative method can draw comics that are popular and have commercial value, then I will give you such a privilege!" But if the results of the new serialization are not good and the speed cannot keep up, then I hope that Mr. Yi An will also respect us. ”
"I also agree with the editor-in-chief's suggestion, but I also want to add, use the average ranking of the first ten words of the reader's questionnaire to determine whether Mr. Yi An can retain such privileges, editor-in-chief, what kind of ranking do you think Mr. Yi An can achieve and retain such privileges?" Ding Hebei said.
Although Ding Hebei has seen the speed and quality of An Yi's paintings, which are far beyond her imagination, but only based on one page of the original painting, of course, there is no way to see whether An Yi can draw a new serial with commercial value, and she still feels that An Yi's behavior of leaving aside the editor and going alone is just messing around!
Commercial comics also have routines and skills, and a pure rookie cartoonist like An Yi, who relies on talent to eat, may be able to draw short comics that are widely acclaimed, but long-form serialized comics, if you don't learn some routines and skills, it will definitely not work!
However, Ji Hongfei's editor-in-chief is also right, since An Yi wants to mess around, let her mess around, and it's okay to hit a wall.
Ding Hebei hopes that An Yi, who has hit a wall, will obediently draw a storyboard before drawing the original manuscript, and then discuss it with her to create a popular work together.
Therefore, Ding Hebei directly mentioned yì in a businesslike manner, and used the ranking of the reader questionnaire of the first ten episodes of the new serialization to determine a qiē!
Originally, in "The Country of Martial Arts", the rule was: after the new serialization debuts, based on the ten words, the readers' opinions of each issue during the period are synthesized, and then the fate of the work is decided.
The number of each issue will be faithfully reflected in the front and back of the comic layout, but the first one will often be reserved for the pillars or works that experience special moments of significance (such as the first episode and anniversaries), and the new serials will be treated more leniently for about one to two months.
But obviously, Ding Hebei is not willing to leave even one or two months of loose time for the foolish An Yi.
If the popularity index continues to rank at the bottom, regardless of the quality of the work, it will be cut in half and give way to new serializations, which has resulted in many short-term serializations with only 10 to 20 issues.
For works that do not fall into the above two categories, there is also a guideline of color pages in the volume to indicate the support of the editorial department, which will generally put the work in a slightly higher position than the actual popularity.
Generally, only mid-stream and lower-stream works can take the initiative to express their willingness to end to the editorial department, and conditions may also be added, such as the serialization of existing works must be launched within a limited time. The end under these conditions is fraught with risk, and the worst outcome of failure to fulfill it could be to leave the ranks of the Warrior Nation forever.
Why does Mr. Ke Yongqun's "Heroic Shadow" continue to be painted for ten years? It is precisely because even he himself can't end such a work that has become the landmark of "Martial Country......
The editorial department of Takeshi no Kuni aims to maintain the number of serialized works at 20. The bottom two works in the overall ranking will be considered for halving, and the works in the more than a dozen can be classified as the middle and lower reaches.
However, starting from the first five years, the works that have been cut in half will be transferred to the magazine supplement "Martial Village", serialized several episodes to alleviate the problem of unfinished, in addition to many authors who have rashly tried martial arts comics but their popularity is dismal, and then they can only leave the highest stage of "Martial Country" and transfer to other comic magazines under the Chinese Cultural Media Group.
Therefore, it can be said that the twenty comics on the "Martial Country" are all the works of those senior martial arts cartoonists who have worked hard for many years, and each has its own readership.
Ji Hongfei couldn't help but be a little amused when he heard Ding Hebei's suppressed dissatisfied tone, before coming, this editor of Xiao Ding was really full of good feelings for Teacher Yi'an, and he was full of enthusiasm to discuss the new serialization with Teacher Yi'an, but now he was really angry.
But think about it, if it weren't for his Ji Hongfei's always atmospheric personality, then if he was an ordinary editor, he would really be angry with An Yi - she is just a newcomer who has not yet proven herself in the field of serialized comics, but she is arrogant to such a point!
"Then the top ten, the top ten of the main issue of "Martial Country"! This goal is already very demanding for new cartoonists. However, the storyboard of the first three episodes ...... Well, it's the original manuscript, and I hope that Mr. Yi An can draw it as much as possible, no matter what, it's still going to take a shape at the serial meeting. Ji Hongfei said.
Ji Hongfei is actually quite happy now, because after he compromised to temporarily give An Yi such a privilege, it means that An Yi will become a signed cartoonist of "Martial Country"!
"Top ten? The requirements are too low, and if there is no top five, I will not draw martial arts comics. An Yi said solemnly.
Ding Hebei originally felt that the editor-in-chief's requirements for An Yi seemed too high, after all, he was a novice who had never serialized comics...... As a result, when she heard An Yi say this again, she almost knelt down for An Yi!
What does the top five mean...... An Yi, a comic novice, really understands?
