Zheng Nan still remembers that on his 13th birthday, his uncle gave him a set of gifts that he has kept to this day - "Astro Boy" comics, different from the popular comic books in China at the time, the story of "Astro Boy" is no longer the famous story he used to know, but a science fiction story, about the son of Dr. Tenma who died in a car accident, and the grieving doctor wanted to resurrect his son by building a robot, but after discovering the fact that the robot could not grow, he angrily sold it to the circus, and this robot is Astro Boy. Astro Boy is taken in by Dr. Chasui and given new abilities: 100,000 horsepower and 7 weapons, becoming the guardian of justice and peace for humanity. With regret that he could not become a human being, Astro Boy continued his battle against the forces of evil.

This comic immediately attracted Zheng Nan, the robot Astro Boy with a sense of justice, became his childhood idol, every time he saw Astro Boy defeat the bad guys, he couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud Astro Boy, it can be said that this comic brought many good memories to his childhood.

However, at that time, his understanding of comics was still very shallow, not to mention that he didn't know anything about the author Osamu Tezuka, and even regarded "Astro Boy" as a Japanese comic book, and when he lent that set of comics to his classmates, he didn't forget to sigh to the other party that "Japanese comic books are better than Chinese ones".

Of course, the ignorance of his childhood can be understood and forgiven, although Zheng Nan's understanding of comics at that time was almost zero, but "Astro Boy" opened a door to the hall of comics for him, and since then, Zheng Nan has developed a strong interest in comics, from "Doraemon" to "Saint Seiya of the Goddess" and then to "Dragon Ball", all Japanese comics that have been introduced to the mainland, he has not let go. At this time, he was no longer a comic novice who didn't even know who Osamu Tezuka was, and became a editor of the first Chinese comic magazine "Painting King".

Every morning at half past nine, Zheng Nan has to go to the editorial office, although there are only him and another editor Lu Jian in the entire editorial department, but because "Painting King" is a pure comic magazine, there are not too many things that need to be done by the editor, so I still don't feel too tired. Jung Nam has also been secretly happy to join "The King of Paintings" more than once, not to mention that this job is easy, and he can also watch the latest Japanese manga for free, what job could be more appealing for a manga fan.

However, recently, Zheng Nan has clearly felt that the pressure of work has doubled, and reading comics is no longer a simple enjoyment, but a responsibility, and the reason why there is such an obvious change is to start with the call for papers in the 10th issue.

Indeed, after the tenth issue of "The King of Paintings" published a call for papers, the passion of domestic fans was even more stimulated.

For a time, a large number of comic submissions piled up in the mailbox of the "Painting King" magazine like snowflakes, and Zheng Nan and Lu Jian, who originally only needed to read Japanese comics, proofread typos and harmonize some inappropriate pictures, received the assignment of Wang Yongsheng, the editor-in-chief, to review these comic submissions.

The two of them must divide this batch of comics into three grades: upper, middle, and lower as required. The comics of the upper grade will be accepted by Wang Yongsheng as a candidate for the publication of the work, and if the final review is passed, then this comic will be published in the next issue of "Painting King" to meet readers across the country.

And the middle-grade comics are not so lucky, this kind of comics are not good enough to be published in magazines, but they are not as unsightly as the works of the lower grades, for this kind of comics, Wang Yongsheng's opinion is that the authors of this kind of comics have potential to be tapped, so they can't discourage people's enthusiasm for creation, so they must write a reply to each author, attach a brief review of the work, and the author will correct it after attracting the opinions of the editors, and seek progress.

As an editor-in-chief, Wang Yongsheng's ideas are understandable, and it is a blessing for the author, but for the two editors, the surge in workload is not a laughable thing.

To be honest, in the early days of this new comic movement, although domestic comic fans were in high mood and full of creative enthusiasm, the quality of this work was indeed not flattering. Although the drawing skills of some contributors are still passable, it is a pity that the commendable place is only the drawing skills, the basic skills of comics-storyboards are so bad that I don't want to, after reading the author's submission, Zheng Nan remembers only the hero's pretty handsome face, and this face is still an expression from beginning to end, like a zombie. As for the plot, forget it, the stream-of-consciousness comics that are used indiscriminately in flashbacks and interludes are estimated to be understood only by the author himself. For such a work, just looking at it is already a kind of torture, not to mention writing a brief review for it, and the number of words cannot be less than 200 words, which makes Zheng Nantou like a fight.

Of course, in order to make it less laborious, Zheng Nan thought about summarizing the submission in the lower-level work, so that he only had to reply "I'm sorry, your sketch was not accepted, please continue to work hard" and it was over, which was much simpler. In fact, he did the same at first, not to be lazy, but according to his judging criteria, comics like that can't explain the story are not qualified to be placed in mid-level works.

But that day was unfortunate, Wang Yongsheng, who had always been very busy, actually took the time to look at the comics of the lower grades, and when he read the comic "The War of the Southern Kingdom" that Zheng Nan disdained, he came to Zheng Nan with the sketch and said seriously: "Xiao Zheng, I still have merit in this comic, how do you summarize it into the subordinate works." ”

At that time, Zheng Nan of course explained to Wang Yongsheng, saying that the author had no experience in drawing comics at all, and the storyboard of the whole comic was extremely poor, and he couldn't figure out what the author was talking about.

However, at that time, Wang Yongsheng replied: "Although you are right, but at present, there are too few cartoonists in our country, especially those who draw this kind of juvenile comics. Man, it is impossible to do anything in one step, there is always a time process. I think this author still has some painting skills, although the ability to make up stories is not very good, but it can't be too demoralizing people's enthusiasm. As for you, you should write back to this author and tell him that our editorial department still appreciates his work, but unfortunately the work itself is still flawed, so it can't be published, so let him not be discouraged and continue to work hard in this regard......"

It is precisely because of Wang Yongsheng's attitude that Zheng Nan and they have to greatly lower their standards, painting skills or plots, as long as a submission is passable in one of these two aspects, they are all summarized and intermediate. The works that can be classified as subordinate are almost all graffiti works by elementary and middle school students.

Although Zheng Nan also admired Wang Yongsheng's attitude towards the author so responsibly, he also hoped that the other party would be considerate of their editorial feelings. Originally, when their school was a super-first-class Japanese comic, they had to turn their heads back to review a large number of Chinese comics, not to mention the big gap in their hearts.

"Should I propose to Mr. Wang to add editors, otherwise it will be a bit unbearable to rely on me and Lu Jian alone." When Zheng Nan walked to the company's mailbox, he couldn't help but have this thought. However, even if you want to add more editors, it will not be possible to recruit the right person in a while, so Zheng Nan knows that no matter what, he will have to work hard for a while.

When Zheng Nan opened the mailbox, sure enough, it was already filled with letters from readers and manuscripts from painters, Zheng Nan put all the letters into the backpack, and then walked into the editorial office, sat down in his place and opened the backpack again, sorting out the letters inside. Divide the contributions of readers and artists into two piles.

Just when Zheng Nan was sorting out the letters, another editor, Lu Jian, also walked into the editorial office and said to Zheng Nan: "I just said why there is no letter today, it turns out that it is all here with you." Damn, it's so much, I haven't finished reading yesterday's submission, and I'm completely depressed! ”

Zheng Nan smiled bitterly at Lu Jian, what is the way, since the above is so requested, the following can only do it truthfully, only hope that the editorial department can recruit another colleague as soon as possible to reduce everyone's burden.

Lu Jian also sat back in his place at this time, and took out half of the pile of submissions and put it in front of his desk. "Alas,I always thought that reading comics was a very easy and even pleasant thing.,But who knew that now it's such a terrible thing.,I really admire some authors.,The level is not enough.,Just stay at home and practice.,Why are you so active in contributing.,I'm not afraid of ugliness.。

After listening to Lu Jian's words, Zheng Nan couldn't help but think of the sad "Southern War", although the words are not good, but Zheng Nan's opinion is the same as Lu Jian's, that is, the author had better be a little self-aware, as the so-called ugly is not your fault, but it is not yours to be ugly and scary.

"Wow, I had great luck today, the first comic was superb, you would never guess what this comic was about." Lu Jian said to Zheng Nan with an expression of being defeated by you,

"Hulu Baby vs. Transformers! Oh my god, this author thought he was contributing to "Master of Humor", and he could think of such a spoof comic. Last time you complained that I was lucky and didn't win that zombie face comic, so you don't have anything to say today!

""Hulu Baby vs. Transformers", I guess after reading this comic, the original works of both works are going to cry, but then again, it's really not simple for this author to think of this plot. It can be seen that this person is by no means an idle person, hehe~~"

"Don't talk about it here, I have a headache at the thought of writing a brief review of this comic. Alas,Actually, I don't like to write this kind of brief review.,But at least you have to write for that kind of work that is of a little bit of grade to have energy.,Like this kind of work.,If it really reassures me to write, it's no problem.,Just write some spray author's words.,But the difficulty is to write some insincere words with a clear conscience.,It's really suffocating! ”

Zheng Nan deeply agreed with Lu Jian's words, and couldn't help but get goosebumps when he thought of the reply he wrote to the reporter of "Southern War" last time.

After putting aside the annoying things for the time being, Zheng Nan began to roughly browse the submissions that he needed to review today, with the mood of not pulling out the "best" comics.

I don't know if the prayer worked, Zheng Nan's luck today is not bad, I read the two submissions are still decent, although there is nothing attractive about the plot, but at least it will not be like the "Southern War", which makes people not know what kind of story the author wants to tell after reading it.

Just as Zheng Nan put down the second submission and picked up the third submission from the table to prepare for review, he was suddenly attracted by the address on the submission envelope.

"Chongqing Yuzhong District Yuren Primary School 6 Year 2 Class Xiang Junfei (sent)."

Seeing this address, Zheng Nan smiled, of course, wryly.

Originally, he was secretly glad that he hadn't seen the too unbearable submission today, which hurt his eyes, but he knew that he hadn't been happy for long before he saw such a primary school student's submission.

Under Zheng Nan's subconscious, how powerful a primary school student can be, even if the other party is very artistic, but at such a young age, he will definitely not be able to draw excellent comics, at most he can only draw some "half-orc" graffiti.

Although Zheng Nan already had a preconceived idea that Xiang Junfei's works must be naïve, he also admired Xiang Junfei for being able to draw such a draft. You must know that Xiang Junfei is a whole single book of "Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" sketches stuffed into the envelope, and the whole envelope was stuffed with bulge. The submissions Zheng Nan received before were all short comics, with a maximum of a dozen pages of sketches, and like Xiang Junfei, who stuffed almost 200 pages of sketches into an envelope and sent them.

"This little guy didn't stuff all the works from his previous art class in an envelope and send them over!" Surprise is surprise, but Zheng Nan doesn't want to read what he thinks is a half-orc manga for the time being, so he threw Junfei's contribution aside, ready to read it when he has time.

In this way, the contribution to Junfei was shelved, and Zheng Nan, who originally wanted to watch it when he had time, also carelessly forgot about it for a while.
