Chapter 57: The Royal Road of the Script (2)
After patiently reading the cartoon from beginning to end, Jung Nam lit a cigarette in frustration, took a deep breath, and then shook his head and put the submission on the right side of his desk. After Zheng Nan reviews the draft, he usually puts the accepted manuscript on the left, and the comic on the right means that the manuscript will be returned to the author. Although the author spent a lot of energy to create this comic, and the drawing skills alone are also worthy of recognition, but the plot is really average, and it can't make readers resonate after reading the story, and Zheng Nan can't let such a work be published on "Beijing Cartoon".
"It's a pity, if the author can change the plot to the heroine and her good friend like the male protagonist at the same time, and the male protagonist also likes the heroine, but the heroine doesn't dare to express her true feelings because of friendship, not only has she always supported her friends to chase the male protagonist, but also pretended to treat the male protagonist with a cold attitude, and she was very traumatized psychologically, and she could only appeal in the diary. Later, because the heroine accidentally left the diary at school, it was discovered by the male protagonist, and then the male protagonist learned the heroine's mind through the diary. When the male protagonist found the heroine with a diary, the heroine could no longer hide herself and finally accepted the male protagonist's confession. Then XX years later, the hero and heroine appeared in the marriage hall, and the heroine's friend also appeared at the wedding and sent blessings to the couple. Although Zheng Nan has never created comics, he has been a comic editor for so long and has personally reviewed so many submissions, so he also has unique opinions on what kind of plot can please readers.
Compared with the original plot of this comic, Zheng Nan's revised plot characters are more sincere, and compared with the heroine of the original plot, the revised heroine can win the reader's sense more
Love, the story can also bring readers a deeper sense of substitution, and after the end, the scene of the wedding ceremony also brought the story to a successful end, especially the blessings of the heroine's friends to the male protagonist, which added to the warmth of this comic. Although the overall plot is still too simple, as a short comic, it can be regarded as up to standard.
"I'll give this author a revision suggestion, if she is willing to accept it and redraw it according to the revision, then she can be given a chance to publish, if not, then there is no way." Zheng Nan, who has made up his mind, begins to review the next sketch.
When he picked up the submission envelope, he was so surprised when he found the address of the contributor that he almost didn't spray his rice - Xiang Junfei, the first (2) class of Chongqing Nantian Middle School.
"Xiang Junfei, Xiang Junfei isn't the real name of the pit? Could it be that he has some new work ready to be cast on "Beijing Cartoon"! Thinking of this, Zheng Nan, who originally had to rely on cigarettes to cheer up, extinguished the cigarette in his hand as if he had been stimulant, and quickly tore open the envelope and took out the sketch.
But when Zheng Nan saw the sketch for the first time, it was like being poured with a basin of cold water, first of all, the author's pen name is not "pit" but "SHARE" at all, of course, if the pen name is different, Zheng Nan will think that this is a new pen name taken by Xiang Junfei, but this comic called "Pure Love Codex" is really not flattering, not to mention compared with "Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar", it is inferior to any comic that Zheng Nan has just reviewed.
"Could it be that this author and the pit boy just have the same name, but in fact they are two different people? But they are all from Chongqing, and 'Xiang' is not a big surname, the last time I went to Chongqing, Kengzi was still a sixth-grade student, according to the time to calculate that he should also be in the first year of junior high school, no matter how coincidental it will not be! With a mind full of doubts, Zheng Nam began to review the comics and fell into a long period of contemplation.
When Zheng Nan read the 200-page sketch from beginning to end, he was already ninety percent sure that this was a script created by "Pit Boy". Although the painting skills of this "Pure Love Codex" are a little subclassy, the plot is very exciting, and the idea of a boy becoming a girl is very interesting in Zheng Nan's opinion. Even if he is a veteran comic fan who has read a lot of various comics, he has only seen this idea on "Ranma 1/2", and before today, he has not seen the same setting from any domestic comics.
With novel character settings, funny plots, and sincere emotions, the "Pure Love Codex" with elements can be called an excellent comic even if it does not have good drawing skills.
"Maybe this is a comic created by Pit Boy a long time ago, so his drawing skills are still a little immature, but such an interesting plot can only be imagined by a brain like him. It's a pity that he changed to a pen name this time, otherwise as soon as the news of "Pengzi's" latest work in "Beijing Cartoon" spreads, it will definitely not be a problem for the next issue of the magazine to increase its sales by four or five times, which is a pity. Forget it, it's gold that always shines, and when readers see the "Pure Love Codex", they will definitely like this comic, and the sales of the magazine will definitely not be like the first issue, not even 10,000 copies. Zheng Nan laughed excitedly.
Under Zheng Nan's strong request, "Pure Love Codex" began to be serialized in the second issue of "Beijing Cartoon", and also made a special recommendation on the cover. Although the special description of the Chinese version of "Ranma 1/2" of "Pure Love Codex" is suspected of being a title party, with the help of the super popularity of "Ranma 1/2" in China, "Pure Love Codex" has indeed made readers interested in this comic, causing many readers to watch it as soon as they buy this issue of "Beijing Cartoon".
"Have you heard?,Someone in Class 7 was selected to submit a piece to the comic magazine.,Now the comics are starting to be serialized in the magazine!"
"Of course, I've heard that the magazine is called "Beijing Cartoon", which is a comic magazine that has just been launched, and the comic that is being serialized is called "Pure Love Codex", and I have already read it. Don't say it.,That's pretty good.,Although the drawing is average.,But the plot is definitely good! ”
"It turns out that there is such a thing, I just said why was it so lively at the gate of Class 7 just now, even the second and third junior high school students crowded at the door of their class, and they thought something big had happened."
Hearing the classmates discussing the "Pure Love Codex", Xiang Junfei smiled bitterly: "Ma Qiang, this guy has only been on the market for three days, and he is so well-known that he really convinced him!" ”
