Chapter 2 Choice
"I don't believe it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yao Yao shook her head very directly and said. She looked calm, and she didn't despise Luo Zheng for talking big, nor did she show a look of disgust.
Luo Zheng said: "If you don't believe me, I can't help it." I don't believe what you're saying. In this way, what journal do you want to submit to, we have determined the general style of the publication, and try it according to the set, isn't it? ”
"Yes." Yao Yao blinked her eyes behind the lenses and said. After reading so many unreliable scripts, she no longer had hope of finding a scripter online. Now I don't have a clue for the time being anyway, so it's better to give it a try first, on the one hand, with a little luck, and on the other hand, I want to see how Luo Zheng will perform.
After speaking, Yao Yao turned around and walked to the bookshelf where the magazines were placed, browsed it roughly, and picked out three comic magazines.
Luo Zheng looked at it, and the three magazines were all semi-monthly juvenile comics. "God of War" was serialized in one of the magazines called "Tianya Comics".
This magazine is selling very well, and it is one of the best sellers in the shonen comics. And the other two magazines, one "Hot Blood Comics" and one "Big Comics Juvenile Edition", are also teenager-oriented.
Yao Yao said: "That's all there are three. "Tianya Comics" is more competitive, and we may not be able to choose it if we submit it, so I have prepared two more issues. But the premise of all this is that you can come up with the right story. ”
"Young Xiang?" Luo Zheng looked at Yao Yao suspiciously, "Are you sure you're okay?" ”
Yao Yao didn't say a word, took out a stack of papers from her schoolbag and handed it to Luo Zheng. On those papers, they are all comic compositions of "Hot Blooded Iron Fist" with a high degree of completion, and the content on the paper is not in the comics. In other words, it's a stack of fandoms.
Luo Zheng was a little surprised, these fanfics retain the painting style of the original's tough personality, and in the toughness, it is more exquisite, with a meticulous style that is obviously different from the original.
This stack of powerful paintings doesn't look like a girl's painting at all.
"You drew this?" Luo Zheng asked.
"Yes." Yao Yao believed in her own strength, so she didn't care about Luo Zheng's questioning, and said, "I also like "Hot Blooded Iron Fist" very much. If I could, Time Comics Shonen Weekly would be my first choice. But after all, we are still in school, and if we can really publish comics in magazines, we can't put all my energy and time into comic creation, so I had to give up time comics and choose these three, all monthly or semi-monthly. Of course, if you're not good at this one, I'm fine with other styles. ”
"Okay, if you're okay, I'll be fine." Luo Zheng nodded, got up and said, "Three days later, I will give you the script." ”
Although she still didn't believe what Luo Zheng said, Yao Yao still nodded and said politely, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”
Luo Zheng said goodbye and left, while Yao Yao carried her schoolbag and put the three magazines back in their original places on the shelves, but she was a little worried.
"Rub my comics and talk big. In three days, what good story can you come up with? Yao Yao muttered in a low voice and sighed, "Alas, there is really no way, I have to conceive the script by myself, whether it is successful or not, I have to work hard." ”
When Luo Zheng returned to the dormitory, he was thinking about what kind of comics would suit the current magazine style.
The first thing he could think of was the Sea of Dead Fire and Dragon Ball. These four comics are the most popular juvenile comics of his time. The theme of these royal works is not much different from those shonen comics, and they are also suitable choices in this era.
Of course, "Full-Time Hunter" is also possible. But the rich old thief is really a big hole, Conan and One Piece are over, and the end of the hunter is still missing. Luo Zheng had no choice but to pass this comic.
But Luo Zheng thought about it, so he ruled out "Bleach and Naruto" first. In these two comics, there are traces of Japanese culture that are not easy to eliminate for a while, from the name to the background content, if you want to be accepted by Shunguo readers, you still need to make a lot of magic changes.
After all, this is different from the earth, and there are not a large number of works in Region 11 for people to understand that small island country, some settings, as well as thoughts and baggage, if you don't explain in detail, I'm afraid that people will be inexplicable.
"So, is it Dragon Ball or One Piece?"
These two comics are highly universal comics. Among them, the regional atmosphere of the island country is also the weakest. Because of this, these two manga will be the hottest in the world and are the best choices right now.
However, Luo Zheng thought about it carefully and sealed the two comics for the time being. He is not famous yet, he debuted as a newcomer, and no matter how good the comics are, he can't fight for any benefits with the magazine and the publisher. These two comics can be said to be the top two comics in the hot blood royal road, and now they are taken out directly, which is a bit of a small loss.
And whether the comic can be popular or not, the quality itself is the most important aspect, but it is inseparable from luck, promotion efforts, etc. There are also a lot of high-level comics in this world, and he can't help but think that as soon as he takes out these comics, he can blind people's eyes and make people "bow down".
"For the first manga, it's best to choose one that will make people shine at first sight."
"Dragon Ball" and "One Piece" are both very orthodox royal manga, the plot, rhythm, and baggage are advanced layer by layer, step by step, and the main body of strengthening, struggle, dreams, and friendship is vented little by little, which slowly attracts readers. At this point, it is clearly not in order.
Luo Zheng remembered the statement in "Dream Eater" about the royal comics and evil comics. In those juvenile comic magazines, in addition to the royal comics with the theme of friendship, blood, and struggle, there are also other types of comics to enrich the style and characteristics of the magazine.
Luo Zheng went to the library again and looked through the magazines Yao Yao had selected to confirm. "Tianya Comics" has detective comics, and even dark wind adventure comics to enrich the general category, and "Hot Blood Comics" has added a story full of black atmosphere, as well as a battle story based on puzzles and battles by abandoning the theme of the royal road.
So, what should you choose?
After returning to the dormitory, Luo Zheng thought carefully and wrote down the names of the four works on a piece of paper.
"Great Sword"
Death Note
"Tokyo Meow"
Attack on Titan
The dark direction, outstanding style, background, and character design are all attractive, which are the common characteristics of these four works. Perhaps it is because of the unique regional environment of the island country, which has created a cramped and oppressive feeling in these works, and has also attracted the audience of the island country. For Luo Zheng, he was attracted to this type of work at the beginning, more because of the dark setting in the work, which makes people feel cool enough. Even EVA is the same.
The four works all have explosive points when they come up, and the atmosphere is tense and very attractive. So Luo Zheng made this choice. However, after thinking about it, he crossed out "Attack on Titan" and "Tokyo Mew".
The giant's painting style is weird, and you can't follow the comics. The painting style of the animation can be used for reference, but the naked giant and the strange species are the unique scenery in this comic, Luo Zheng doesn't want to give it up, and he is embarrassed to propose to a beautiful girl that she should draw a naked man, for fear that she will be treated as a pervert.
And "Tokyo Meow", the reason is the same as the Death Hokage, it needs to be changed.
As for "Death Note", it is set in a modern era, but there is not much content about the regional culture involved. Luo Zheng directly set up a city and changed the name of the supporting role, and it was fine. As for the protagonist Ye Shenyue, in this world, there is also a rare surname of "night", and Luo Zheng does not need to change it.
After thinking about it carefully for a while, Luo Zheng made a decision to make the first two scripts of "Big Sword" and "Death Note", and let Yao Yao choose which one to draw.
