Chapter 15: Completion and Celebration
On the side of Times Comics, because Liu Jian quickly rejected the manuscript, it didn't take long. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoTherefore, when Luo Zheng and Yao Yao arrived at Tianya Comics, it was still early.
Tianya Comics is not as large as Times Comics, and the entire magazine has only made two monthly magazines, which are divided into two editions of the sun and the moon. The Japanese version is a manga for boys, and the monthly version is a manga for girls.
Luo Zheng thought to himself that the loss was that Internet culture had not yet flourished, otherwise when the time came, I wouldn't know how to arrange these two sub-edition names.
If nothing else, the Japanese version of the word is definitely not good.
The rules of this magazine are not as numerous and clear as those of the period comics. Luo Zheng and Yao Yao were directly invited into the office by the editor.
In the editor's rest area next to the office, the editor of Tianya Comics began an interview with Luo Zheng and Yao Dongxia.
Luo Zheng didn't expect that they would be greeted by a rookie female editor.
This female editor's name is Cheng Yuan, she is not very beautiful, but she is clean and delicate, with a round face and baby fat, and she looks very cute.
Cheng Yuan didn't hide her qualifications, she came up straight to the point, and said generously: "I am a new editor, and in terms of experience, it is estimated that there will be shortcomings." Regardless of whether your manuscript is suitable or not, I hope that you will seriously exchange your thoughts and ideas with me. Of course, I will also make my recommendations. We make progress together. ”
…… It seems that Yang Jinwen has not reached here yet.
Luo Zheng and Yao Yao glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yao Yao handed over the manuscript, and Cheng Yuan looked down. Compared with Liu Jian of Times Comics, Cheng Yuan's speed of reading the manuscript is much slower.
After reading the manuscript, Cheng Yuan thought for a while and said: "Your ideas are very peculiar, most of the articles that come to us are drawn in the style of the magazine's young people." This kind of aspect of yours is generally considered when you read old comics. You're so bold. ”
Luo Zheng thought Cheng Yuan was saying good things, and said cheekily: "Thank you for the compliment." ”
Next, Cheng Yuan expressed her opinion. She thinks that Greatsword's worldview is very interesting, and the comics serialized in magazines in the past, even if they are dark style, are not as simple and crude as Greatsword's real cannibalism.
There is also the story of the Great Sword. Originally, shonen manga magazines didn't advocate tragic stories, but Bigsword is a short story, and it's a dark style that is different from the mainstream and rich in magazine style, so it's not in the way.
But even so, Cheng Yuan still thinks that the story of the big sword is too extreme and desperate. She hoped that Luo Zheng and Yao Yao would make changes to the ending of the big sword.
However, Luo Zheng insisted again and again, and Cheng Yuan finally had no choice but to give up this request. She felt that the story of the big sword was very mature, which had reached the bottom line of her acceptance, and she felt that she should also respect the author's ideas.
"This scripter seems to be more like a fiction writer with literary feelings. Otherwise, there would be no such insistence on the work. Cheng Yuan looked at Luo Zheng, and such a thought flashed in his heart. Thinking of this, she admired it a little, even in the fiction industry now, there are not many authors who insist on it. Only an author who insists in this way can write good works with a unique temperament.
Therefore, Cheng Yuan does not mind complying with the author's insistence if the principle allows.
And Cheng Yuan didn't know that when she thought like this, Luo Zheng thought really in her heart: "It's a shame that this editor didn't force it." It's not that I don't want to change it, it's that I really can't change it. ”
After these two scripts, Luo Zheng deeply realized that even if he has a work in the world, he must study hard and strengthen himself.
Kyoto Animation University has a course that specializes in storytelling, and this course is something he must master.
The works on the earth may not necessarily adapt to this world that has been forced by the traverser, and he wants to use it, and some of them are afraid that they will have to be modified.
After that, Cheng Yuan mentioned more about the decoration of the details. Including drawing and storyboard revisions. There are three people, Luo Zheng, Yao Yao and Cheng Yuan, and the original work in Luo Zheng's mind, on the basis of a fairly high degree of completion of the storyboard, it is enough to finalize the comic much better than the original work.
The three of them had a rather pleasant discussion. By the time the exchange ended, it was already dark.
"Ah, I accidentally discussed it all afternoon, and I had to work overtime again." Cheng Yuan only noticed the sky at this time, scratched his hair, and said miserably.
Luo Zheng and Yao Yao said: "I'm sorry for delaying Sister Cheng's time." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. I have no intention of complaining to you. Cheng Yuan said, "There is a good comic, which can be regarded as my performance." I'm still looking forward to relying on you to give me a performance increase and a salary increase. I hope you will draw the finished draft as soon as possible, come on! ”
"Thank you, Sister Cheng." Luo Zheng and Yao Yao thanked in unison.
It was also dark, and the two wanted to invite Cheng Yuan to finish dinner together, but Cheng Yuan was in a hurry to work overtime to complete tonight's task, so he didn't agree.
At the moment, after the two decided to contribute to Tianya Comics, they said goodbye to Cheng Yuan and left Tianya Comics Magazine.
On the side of the road outside Tianya Comic Magazine, the two had a casual dinner before taking the bus back to school.
There is a Malatang shop at the door of the magazine, Malatang tastes good, the two of them ate one each, and Luo Zheng also ate a meat sandwich cake.
While eating, Luo Zheng looked at Yao Yao's lips stained with oil and water, and suddenly remembered the joke about Malatang on the earth, and couldn't help laughing, making Yao Yao laugh inexplicably.
After going back, Yao Yao began to draw the original draft of the comic. Luo Zheng originally thought that there would be nothing for him to do next, but he didn't expect that the next time would be when he was really busy.
Formal drawing of the draft comics, each drawing is very detailed. Luo Zheng looked at the paintings drawn by Yao Yao, and had the feeling of looking at art students.
After Yao Yao finished painting the subject, he told Luo Zheng that he needed to paint black and paste the dots, and let Luo Zheng do these two jobs.
Luo Zheng bluntly said no, and was despised by Yao Yao a few times.
Then, Yao Yao instructed Luo Zheng and learned to draw black and paste dots, and after seeing Luo Zheng's skills, Yao Yao handed over all these two jobs to Luo Zheng.
With only two people working together, the manga draws slowly. It took a month for the two to draw all the cartoons.
When the entire comic manuscript was sorted out, Luo Zheng and Yao Yao stood in front of the workbench in the studio, and suddenly they both had a sense of accomplishment.
"Is that done?" Yao Yao, who has always been calm, asked this kind of knowingly questioning in disbelief.
"yes, it's done." Luo Zheng was also a little excited, and unconsciously stretched out his arms, just like he did when he finished his work in his previous life, and said, "Come, celebrate, let's hug one." ”
Yao Yao was stunned for a moment. But then, she also opened her arms and hugged Luo Zheng briefly.
