Chapter 10 Only those who have been rejected can be called a cartoonist
If it weren't for this plagiarism, the story of "Dragon Ball" would have been shelved in Zhang Yao's memory, although the theatrical version would still be released every year when she crossed over, and "Dragon Ball Super" was also being broadcast. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But she really didn't have any interest in these stories, and she was full of resentment about the behavior of making it clear that she was here to make money.
Now she is revisiting it through plagiarism, and she herself enjoys it, after all, it is full of childhood memories. Although later, the deep memory became a ...... like "Turtle Wave X Gong"
"Dragon Ball" officially debuted in "Young Soloists" to start serialization, and there is a line of small print advertisements in the lower left corner of the cover, and the content of the opening article is as inconspicuous as this advertisement.
No work can become popular just by the first word, comics are a huge project, and both authors and readers must be prepared for a long-term war of resistance.
Along with "Dragon Ball", there are also "Psychic Swordsman" and "Armed Hunter", the former is an ancient work with a supernatural style, the author is already a senior manga artist, and he also has a certain reputation.
The latter is also a newcomer's work, telling the story of a mercenary in a modern city, and the same newcomer level is a little worse, and it is the worst quality of the three works.
From a professional point of view, a simple sentence can already show a lot of things, such as the story plot, painting skills, sub-shot arrangement and scene control, etc.
Of course, the level of being able to be serialized is not too bad, the quality is relatively speaking, and there are few readers who care about these at this level, they only care about whether the work itself is wonderful or not.
Serialized on "Shaotuan", every author will have the pressure of being cut in half, and Zhang Yao will inevitably start to pay attention to the popularity rankings to see which works will be cannon fodder and which will be his competitors.
If you want to pick out one of the twenty works serialized in "Shaotuan" that will never be cut in half, it must be "Robot Cat".
"Robot Cat" has been serialized for nearly 30 years now, and it has become a series of lifetimes in the true sense, even if the author name of "Yiye Zhiqiu" is no longer the original Zhang Qiuxi, Ye Qingqing and Zicai Xinnai, there is still no sign of ending.
In addition to the extremely important significance of the work itself to "Young Group", it is also because its popularity has always been high, and it is still ranked sixth in the last survey results, so it is absolutely impossible to be cut in half.
In the past two years, the top three have been entrenched in the top three are "Divine Soldiers", "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "The Wind Rises in Shushan".
The work is at the level of national comics, and the sales of a single book have exceeded 100 million, and the author is also the pillar of domestic comics.
If it weren't for their efforts, the domestic animation industry would not be so mature and hot, and Zhang Yao still has a long way to go if he wants to compete with them.
The rest of the works are relatively lacking, but the genres are indeed diverse, and there are only two youth love themes at least, and then there are sports themes, all of which are only three.
The martial arts genre occupies half of the country, although martial arts novels are dead, but the vitality of martial arts comics is very strong, perhaps because everyone in the sky/dynasty has a martial arts dream, and this theme is also the most acceptable.
Now at the bottom,It's also a work that was relatively poor in popularity before.,But for the time being, don't worry about cutting in half.,There's still enough time for them to climb the popularity slope.,If you can still salvage it.。
The new work has a two-month preferential period, which is not a long time, especially Zhang Yao is still serialized every other issue, and he is about to enter that cruel world with half of the space of others.
"I feel a lot of pressure." Zhang Yao put aside the newly bought "Shaotuan" magazine and yawned.
Comics are her favorite, and since then, she has always been a reader of "Young Tuan" not only to investigate her opponents, but she also really likes many of the above works.
A whole new world, with countless works that have never been touched before, is also a kind of travel benefit.
"If you can't keep up with the update, don't complain that you can't do others on the list, there is this idle time here sighing, you should hurry up and finish the character design." Yunsheng, who was still immersed in writing programs, was very dissatisfied.
Although all the settings only need to be copied, but the workload is still very large, Zhang Yao said: "The character image has been completed, but because there are still battle scenes, skills, damage, etc. need to be set, or let's do a general love game, that saves trouble." ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier, I'm almost done with the program."
"And the script, roughly estimated, the whole game just seems to have millions of words of dialogue."
"Anyway, no player will look at it word for word, and where it can be fooled, it will be fooled, in short, after the setting is done, write it quickly."
"Ah, is that my job, too?"
"Long-winded, the story is what you come up with, and of course you write the script."
"I think we should divide the work a little bit more." Zhang Yao slammed into the table.
It takes labor and sweat to realize your dreams, even if crossing is a shortcut to realize your dreams, except for eating and sleeping, Zhang Yao and Yunshang took out almost all the time, including class time.
Fortunately, this is a hobby in itself, and work and play are of the same nature, otherwise few people would be able to stick to it.
After a few lazy words, Zhang Yao was regaining his spirits, and suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Did the teacher find out?" Zhang Yao jumped up in shock.
They still illegally occupy the activity room now, and Yunshang's club application has not been hacked down after all, not because the number of people is not enough, but because there are lessons from the past, and the teacher doesn't believe that they are going to make games at all.
The typical story of the wolf coming, albeit with the blame.
"What are you going to do, go open the door, if the teacher comes, he won't be polite enough to knock on the door." Yunshang also has a point, which teacher can still be kind and pleasant when he catches a student violating discipline, at least he should be stricter.
stepped forward to open the door, and it was the editor Yexi who appeared at the door, and saw her with her hands at her side and a smile on her face, "Hello, I'm disturbed by the sudden visit." ”
"It's not bothering, I'm strange, Sister Yexi, you can actually find here." Zhang Yao, who was full of surprise, welcomed Yexi into the house, which was the first guest since the "establishment" of their Yinghen Society.
Yexi was still wearing a professional suit, and the black silk on her long legs was particularly tempting, so she sat down and crossed her legs, explaining: "I went straight to No. 1 Middle School, and I was guided all the way by enthusiastic male classmates to find here." ”
Uh,Originally, high school boys are at a very delicate age.,It's not surprising that a big beauty like Yexi will be enthusiastic.。
It's just that the whole school already knows about their occupation of the activity room? Zhang Yao couldn't help but glance at Yun Sheng worriedly, and the latter didn't seem to notice anything wrong.
Hawkers, don't think about these questions, Zhang Yao turned her face and said to Yexi: "Sister Yexi, do you have something to do with me?" By the way, at this time, you should serve tea first, but unfortunately there is only the iced black tea you just bought, do you want Sister Yexi? ”
"Bottled tea is an insult to tea." Yexi, who likes to drink tea, also has its own insistence.
Zhang Yao rubbed his forehead and said, "Then there's no way, let's get down to business." Alas, it doesn't seem like there's anything serious, didn't I just deliver it? ”
"It's not a submission, then of course it's a rejection, stupid." Since it was a guest, Yunshang also temporarily stopped what she was doing, stretched her body and walked over to sit down.
"Rejection? You don't have that, do you? Zhang Yao couldn't figure out that even copying Dragon Ball would be rejected one day, and there was no reason for this.
Yexi was still smiling and said, "First of all, of course, I came to visit, after all, Mr. Yao has been to the park many times, although I have only seen it twice, but as an editor, it is really unreasonable not to visit its cartoonists." ”
Zhang Yao has delivered the manuscript more than twice, but sometimes it is delivered by intra-city express, and it is not easy to sneak out of school during class time, so finding an errand company is the best choice.
As soon as Ye Xi said this, Zhang Yao and Yun Sheng were as if they had been struck by lightning, and their faces suddenly became bitter, Yun Sheng twisted her head to the side and pretended not to hear anything, while Zhang Yao scratched her head in embarrassment.
"That, because I bought a complete set of single books of these works, such as Shenbing Lu and Fengqi Shushan, and there are many tools, and because I haven't paid for it at that time...... Anyway, it's my fault, and I promise I won't do it again in the future. ”
Zhang Yao was like being caught as a thief, but in fact it was really the same.
At first, she thought that it was a conspiracy for "Soloist" to set up the editorial department in Oriental Paradise, and if its authors had to buy tickets every time they went to the editorial office, they would have to earn a lot of manuscript fees back this month.
Later, I learned that the author didn't need to buy tickets to go to the editorial office, just say hello, so Zhang Yao was very clever to draw inferences from one another, and took advantage of the weekend to take Yunshang to enter the park for free in this name.
Moreover, a high school student's pocket money is really not enough to buy so many things, and the remuneration has not arrived, so she simply uses this wealth as a scalper to bring real tourists into the park, and the original standard ticket price for a single day is 580, and she only charges 380.
"Really, how can you be like this, it's so shameless." Yun Sheng reprimanded Zhang Yao's behavior with righteous words.
"Hey, don't say that it has nothing to do with you, okay, when you didn't participate, this idea is still up to you." Zhang Yao was furious.
Yunshang looked like I didn't know anything, and said, "When, how come I don't know?" ”
"Play stupid, huh? Then let me remind you, on the day we went to eat KFC, you also ordered two family buckets in a row. ”
"Oh." Yunshang looked like she was in a trance, clasping her hands and nodding, "Although they all sell the same thing, I feel that KFC's chicken thighs are better than McDonald's." ”
Zhang Yao also nodded and said, "Well, that's right." Just like Coke, Coca-Cola is meant to be better than Pepsi. ”
"What? Have you lost your sense of taste? Of course, Coke is Pepsi, but I'm a staunch Pepsi. ”
"All heretics are burned to death, for the sake of Coca-Cola's dignity, let's duel."
The two quickly scuffled together, Zhang Yao grabbed Yunsheng's ear, Yunshang tugged Zhang Yao's cheek, and secretly looked over here, "This should be fooled, right?" ”
Yexi still looked at them with a smile on her face.
