In the early morning, the sky has just dawned, and the first rays of sunshine in the east have not yet appeared.

Wang Chu ran out of the gate of his own community, walked without hurry, the frequency between the steps was very harmonious, and ran towards the central park, this section of the road is five kilometers.

A month ago, when he ran for the first time, it took him more than an hour to barely finish, and he almost collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

At that time, his body was very weak, and then he continued to keep running, slowly improving, and a month passed, and now it only takes 20 minutes to use. And it was when he deliberately slowed down, otherwise he would have been sprinting out, and it would only take thirteen minutes, but that would be very tiring, the gains outweighed the losses, and there would be no exercise effect, but it would cause some damage to the body.

WhewW......

As he walked, he controlled his breathing and spit.

This is the family traditional Chinese art he practiced when he lived on the earth in his previous life, which combined the breathing methods of several internal martial arts such as Tai Chi, Xingyi, and Bagua, which has a more efficient exercise effect.

I have cultivated all my life in my previous life, and my body has always been very good, and I have never had any problems, so I ...... in this life He certainly couldn't be left behind, it was already in his bone marrow and deep in his soul.

Speaking of which, after coming to this world for a month, he gradually integrated into it and accepted the fact that he had become a teenager and lived like a normal person.

Wake up early every day to exercise, then go to school, get out of school, come home, eat, exercise, sleep......

Such a simple and regular life.

He once thought that he would live an ordinary life for fifty years like his previous life, and when his son was just in college, he was killed by a car accident.

Perhaps, a simple life is a kind of happiness.

However, after all, he had a dream in his heart, and when he was about to move, he finally had action.

Therefore, when he came out today, he carried a small bag with a small half of the works that he spent half a month to complete one after another.

After running for half an hour, he turned a corner from the middle of the road, and instead of going to Central Park to practice boxing as usual, he ran towards the headquarters building of the legendary picture magazine in the center of the city.

He inquired, and there were staff on duty 24 hours a day to receive manuscripts.

Legend Pictures is one of the three major comic magazines in Donghai City, second to the mainstream comic magazine Wushi, which focuses on martial arts, and the youth romance comic magazine.

It's not that Legendary Pictures is too weak, it's that the other two manga magazines are too strong.

Among them, Wu World is the second largest super martial arts comic magazine in the country, with a stable circulation of about 30 million copies every week, and a total weekly sales of more than 70 million copies, second only to the capital's comic magazine chivalrous spirit.

Another local youth comic magazine in Donghai City, Flower Season Rainy Season, is the seventh largest comic journal in the country, with a stable weekly circulation of about 20 million, and is the second largest in the field of youth comics, second only to Flower Dream in southern Guangdong.

Of course, the best thing is the chivalrous spirit located in the capital, which has been published for 25 years, and is the first martial arts comic magazine in China, with sales of more than 50 million copies per issue and a total of more than 100 million copies per week. In addition to the first five years of its establishment, it has not reduced this number in the next 20 years, and at its peak, it once reached a single sales volume of 70 million, and has been firmly occupying the champion of comic sales, which has not changed for 25 years, and is one of the symbols of China's prosperous comic industry.

The legendary picture that Wang Chu wants to contribute to is the third largest comic magazine in Donghai City, compared to those super magazines that sell tens of millions of dollars at every turn, the legendary film can only rank fifteenth in the country, and the circulation of each issue can only be more than three million, which is a medium-sized magazine outside the top ten.

In his previous life, Wang Chu has been working in the comics field for 20 years, and because of the cruel living environment of the industry, there has not been much development, but he has always had a dream of becoming a god in comics.

Therefore, when he arrived in this world, he couldn't help but pick up a paintbrush half a month ago, wanting to preach the supreme god in the field of comics in this world where the comics industry is extremely prosperous and can be called the first cultural industry.

Therefore, he specifically investigated the materials in the field of comics, and finally chose Legendary Pictures as his first magazine to submit.

There are three reasons for this.

First, Legend Pictures has just changed owners and was acquired by Donghuang Entertainment Group, which ranks fourth in China, and now the entire Donghuang Entertainment Group is larger and more complete, realizing the upstream and downstream entertainment industry chain of content production and film and television shooting.

Therefore, Donghuang Entertainment Group is now spending a huge amount of money to support Legendary Pictures, to enhance the strength of Legendary Pictures, and to obtain high-quality content from powerful cartoonists.

Second, in fact, it's almost the same as the first, and now Legendary Pictures is a good time for people to be stupid and make money faster, and they are throwing a lot of money. In order to attract newcomers, they held a newcomer competition, the theme is who has a bigger brain, and the subject matter is not limited, whether it is martial arts, science fiction, or suspense, or even romance. As long as you have enough amazing brains to make people look amazing, you will win, and the first place will not only have a million cash prizes, but also the opportunity to be supported by Legendary Pictures.

Thirdly, it's very simple - because it's near!

The headquarters of Legendary Pictures is more than three kilometers near Wang Chu's house, and the martial arts world is on the other side of Donghai City, more than thirty kilometers apart.

Donghai City, as the second largest super city in China, is also an international metropolis dominated by commerce, with a population of tens of millions, an area that is definitely large enough, and a large population also provides a good soil for the survival of comic magazines, so there are two top ten large comic magazines in a city, and the citizens of the city alone can provide tens of millions of market sales for each issue of comics.

Therefore, because of the proximity and because Donghai City is a good place, Wang Chu chose Legendary Pictures, instead of choosing the martial arts world, which has a circulation of more than 30 million copies per issue, nor did he choose comic magazines in other cities.

WhewW......

After more than three kilometers, it only took him ten minutes to run, and he only felt comfortable and relaxed, without a trace of sweat.

Coming to the headquarters building of Legend Pictures, Wang Chu walked into the building slowly, and immediately a reception lady stepped forward to ask: "May I ask sir, are you in trouble?" ”

Early in the morning, someone went to work and had a good attitude.

Wang Chu had a good first impression of this place, and said calmly: "I'm here to contribute, and I want to participate in your newcomer brain hole essay contest." ”

"Good!"

When the reception lady at the front desk heard Wang Chu say that he was here to contribute, she was suddenly stunned and a little curious. Because Wang Chu looks very young, at most ten ** years old, and there is a little baby fat on his face, this grade should be studying in school now, did he start drawing comics at such a young age?

Seemingly, this is also relatively common......

It is said that one of the god-level manga authors in the rainy season is a local high school girl in Tokai City.

In addition, she often hears that there are submissions from high school students.

The front desk lady didn't think much about it, nor did she slack off, and politely brought Wang Chu to the editor on duty inside.

"Xiao Zhou, a handsome guy has come to contribute."

The front desk lady and the editor on duty seemed to be familiar with each other, and said in a joking tone.

Editor Zhou looked up from the pile of comic books in front of him, his eyes were a little bloodshot, obviously he had stayed up late. He looked at Wang Chu, and when he saw Wang Chu's young face, he was a little impatient, pointed to a stack of comic books standing tall next to him, and said, "Put it here, write another piece of information, and go back and wait for news." ”

Wang Chu asked lightly, "Then how long will it take to reply?" ”

Editor Zhou also said nonchalantly: "Three days at the earliest, one week at the latest." ”

"Okay."

Wang Chu agreed, not caring about Editor Zhou's attitude, after all, he was still young. He immediately took out his manuscript, filled out another entry and handed it to Zhou Wenfang.

Zhou Wenfang took the information and looked at it, but didn't read Wang Chu's comic draft, but said casually: "Okay, you go back and wait for news." ”

Wang Chu nodded to the two, didn't say much, turned around and walked out, and continued to run towards the downtown park to complete today's morning exercise task.

Editor Zhou Wenfang watched Wang Chu leave, and for some reason he felt that he couldn't see through this teenager, but he still shook his head and said helplessly to the front desk lady: "Today's children, all of them think they are Zhang Ziyu, Zhang Ziyu's parents are well-known cartoonists of the older generation, they started drawing at the age of five, and began to serialize in children's comics at the age of twelve, and at the age of eighteen they are already one of the pillars of the rainy season. How many Zhang Ziyu are there in the whole country and the world? ”

The front desk lady had a good impression of Wang Chu, so she smiled: "Editor Zhou, children always like fantasy, it depends on whether some people can tell their fantasies into stories, this child may be a storyteller?" ”

Zhou Wenfang's heart moved, and he looked at this front desk lady in surprise, but he didn't expect her to have this opinion, but he still shook his head, and while picking up Wang Chu's information and comic book, he sighed and said: "Xiao He, you don't know, every cartoonist hopes that he can tell stories, so that he can become a god." In fact, there are not many cartoonists who can tell stories, and most of the veteran veteran god cartoonists are just eating old books. ”

Thinking of the ten supreme gods in the Chinese comics industry now, almost all of them have serialized comics for more than five years without opening a new pit, Zhou Wenfang shook his head helplessly, as a new intern editor, he has deep worries about this industry, and always thinks that he is the one who can save the world.

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Chu's information and read in a low voice: "Wang Chu, eighteen years old, a senior student of Donghai No. 1 Middle School, heh, is a middle school, with the pen name Chu Gongzi, and submits comics: The Matrix? What is it? Tell about computer hacking? If it is this field, then it is true that no one has written about it, after all, the professionalism is too strong, and computers and networks are still an emerging industry. ”

Xiao He also came up to take a look, his face was full of curiosity, and he said in surprise: "Or is it still a genius in No. 1 Middle School?" Talking about hackers? She picked up Wang Chu's comic book with great interest and opened the cover, wanting to see what this comic manuscript depicted.

No. 1 Middle School is the best public high school in Donghai City, and it is also ranked among the top high schools in the country. Among the hundreds of thousands of junior high school graduates in each session of the city, only 1,000 local students are selected in the first middle school, plus 300 places in other places, there will definitely be no more recruits, nor one less, so every student who enters the first middle school is basically a top student in the field of study, or a surprisingly large second generation in the background, otherwise he will not be able to enter this signature high school in Donghai City.

Every year, at least half and more than 600 of the college entrance examination graduates of the first high school can enter the top ten universities in the country.

Zhou Wenfang and Xiao He knew that if Wang Chu was really a senior in No. 1 Middle School, then after the college entrance examination was over in two months, Bacheng would be the social elite of the top ten famous schools, and at least the gold-collar class in the future.

It is reported that Zhang Ziyu, the top god in the rainy season, is Donghai City No. 1 Middle School, and it seems that he will also take the college entrance examination this year.

Zhou Wenfang paid attention to it, who knows if he met another young comic genius like Zhang Ziyu? If a teenage manga genius misses out in his own hands, then he is really a shame.

He looked at Xiao He and said, "Xiao He, show me the comic manuscript." ”

Xiao He was in a daze when he looked at the cool character modeling picture on the first page, and woke up: "Eh, Editor Zhou, look at this person's cool appearance." ”

Zhou Wenfang took the comic manuscript and saw the character modeling on the first page, and he was a little surprised at first sight, there is only one word to describe it, that is-cool!

I saw a man with a resolute face and a small head standing in a background light, with sunglasses on his face, his face was cold without a trace of expression, wearing a black trench coat, the trench coat seemed to be swaying gently in the wind, as if hunting, and the hands hanging down on both sides were holding two cool pistols......

Next to it are four eye-catching block letters - The Matrix!

For some reason, Zhou Wenfang felt a trace of excitement and infinite anticipation just by looking at the shape and name of this character.
