Chapter 13: Misunderstanding

"This kid, what's going on lately, don't talk about the food if it's not delicious, the whole person is like losing his soul, and he doesn't have any vitality." When he saw that his son had not finished his meal again and went back to the dining table, he couldn't help but worry.

Xiang Guozhu said while shaving rice: "Could it be that the pressure of studying is too great, you see that the child is not going to face the entrance examination this year." ”

"It's just that from primary school to junior high school, where do you need to worry so much, besides, our son's grades have always been top, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to get into a good school, I'm worried that my child will be the same!"

"Will it be which, you can make it clear, what kind of appetite is hanging!"

At this time, Shen Xiuli lowered her voice and whispered: "I'm worried about whether the child will be in early love!" ”

"Hey, what are you thinking about, the child is so young, then you will think about that, you must be too careful." Xiang Guozhu shook his head in disbelief.

"Is it I, the mother, who understands the child's mind, or you, the father, who understand the child's mind. Let me tell you, the children of these years are not as simple as we were back then, they are really small people. Let me tell you, when I went to buy vegetables yesterday, I saw Wang Tiesheng's son and a girl walking hand in hand on the fourth floor, and I knew that the two children were in love. ”

"No, I remember that the child of the old Wang family is not a few years older than our Xiaofei, and he should still be in junior high school now!"

"How could I be wrong, my eyes can take so much that even people admit that they are wrong, besides, after that kid saw me, he immediately let go, isn't this just a thief who is afraid that I will complain to his parents!"

"That's what you say. I really don't understand what today's children think, obviously they are still so young, and there are some messy things in their heads, alas! ”

"Actually, you can't blame the children, after all, the times are different, you look at the TV shows now, that's not about any love, love, children watch these programs every day, you say you can not learn badly. Now seeing Xiaofei like this, I, as a mother, am really worried that he will fall in love, if a child of their age is really trapped, it will be a big trouble. ”

Hearing what Shen Xiuli said so seriously, Xiang Guozhu suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Then what do you say we should do?" ”

"Well, look at the time, you go and talk to the child, tell him about the disadvantages of early love, get a full vaccination, and finally ask him if he has a girl he likes...... Anyway, it's that business, you look at it, and it's done. ”

"I'm stupid, I'm not good at saying this, so you should go and talk to the child."

"Look at you, old man, you can't do this little thing. You don't think about it, when you talk about this topic, it is more appropriate for you as a father to talk about it than I am to talk about it as a mother, and the child will not feel embarrassed. Besides, the child is not my alone, so I am responsible for everything. ”

Xiang Guozhu is an honest man, seeing that his wife lost her temper, where will he postpone it again, so without Xiang Junfei knowing, he is so sure that the teacher of the adolescent education class is so sure!

In fact, Shen Xiuli is not mistaken, Xiang Junfei is really not quite right in recent days, he doesn't think about tea and dinner all day long, and he is always distracted, and he doesn't even paint, he is indeed guilty of lovesickness, but Xiang Junfei is not thinking about women, but thinking about the sketch he sent to the editorial department of "Painting King" last month.

After he bought back the 12th issue of "The King of Paintings" a few days ago, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand why his two works were not published. Judging by common sense, from the day he sent the draft, within a week, the letter should be sent to the editorial office, and then plus the time for review, within half a month, his work should be seen by the editors, but why is it that a month has passed, and there is still no news. Even if his work did not pass the review, he wrote clearly in black and white in the letter, asking the editors to send the manuscript back, but he still has not received the manuscript to this day. You know, how much energy did these drawings cost him, and now there is no news, how can this not make Xiang Junfei think about it.

"Damn, why hasn't there been a reply to this day, my work is not so unsightly." Xiang Junfei, who was lying on the bed, flipped through the 12th issue of "The King of Paintings" and said depressedly.

"No, "Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" are all works that I carefully selected, both of which are recognized as masterpieces, even if I don't paint as beautifully as the original, but how can it be regarded as excellent, and there is no discordant picture in it, there is no reason to card me, is it in the process of shipping, what happened?"

The more Xiang Junfei thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reliable, after all, he had heard of many cases of errors in the mailing process, although this proportion was very small, but it could not be denied that there was such a possibility. Xiang Junfei called a fire, and in his heart he only greeted the post office for being unfavorable.

However, he also knew that it was useless to be angry at home, so in order to track down where his drawings were, Xiang Junfei picked up his pen again and wrote to the editorial department of "Painting King", wanting to ask if they had received their works. If the other party answered no, Xiang Junfei must have made a mistake at the post office during the mailing process, so he would go to the post office with the bill of the day to ask if he could retrieve the sketch.

Of course, Xiang Junfei still hopes that the other party will be submitted, in this way, even if his sketch does not pass the review, as long as he knows accurate information, it is like a headless fly like he is currently like this.

After the publication of the call for papers in the 10th issue, "The King of Paintings" has become more and more important in the hearts of domestic fans, and the sales of each issue have been steadily rising. As the editor-in-chief, Du Wang Yongsheng also considered that with the current scale of the magazine, there are indeed fewer editors, so he also recruited a new editor for the editorial department - Cai Yu.

Cai Yu is a fresh college student who has just graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, although she studied advertising design, but out of her love for comics, she did not join an advertising agency like her classmates, but chose to come to "Painting King" magazine as an editor.

Zheng Nan and Lu Jian were very happy about the arrival of their new colleagues. After all, after the magazine entered a period of steady development, their workload is getting bigger and bigger, and at this time, new colleagues have to join, which can greatly reduce their burden, not to mention that the new colleague is still a cute girl, which is not welcome. Therefore, from the first day Cai joined the company, Zheng Nan and Lu Jian actively taught Cai the key points of editorial work.

Under this kind of earnest teaching, within a few days, Cai Yu also mastered what she should do as an editor, and because she was born in an art academy and has a good art appreciation, she was handy in writing a brief review of the manuscript and helped Zheng Nan and Lu Jian a lot.

On this day, the three members of the editorial department, as usual, began to read letters and contributions from readers, although the number of submissions in the past month or so is quite a lot, but the ones that can make people shine are still rare, the number is limited, and because everyone is not fully prepared, so far, no artist has submitted a long comic.

Of course, this situation is actually expected by everyone, after all, "Painting King" is the first magazine in China to solicit new comics, and in a hurry, many painters are not prepared at all, so they rush to submit, which may not reflect their true level. In addition, in such a short period of time, it is too difficult to produce a long-form comic with a huge story structure and draw it, and these objective factors affect the quality of this batch of initial submissions.

Wang Yongsheng also sees these problems in his eyes, although he has always been determined to vigorously support local comics, but this does not mean that he will disregard the quality of the submission and rashly publish it in the magazine "Painting King". Although this is an encouragement to the author, it is an irresponsible performance for the reader. It is precisely because of this factor that the 11th and 12th issues of "The King of Paintings" still have not published a single submission.

Of course, the call for papers is not published for the sake of making a show, as long as the submissions meet the standards, they can still be published in the magazine, but until enough excellent comics are collected, this matter will be pressed back for the time being. It turned out that Wang Yongsheng already had a plan in his heart to organize a short comic contest for "The King of Painting".

This competition will be the first comic contest in China, and if successful, it will greatly increase the influence of comics in China and tap enough comic talents. In order to ensure the success of the competition, it is necessary to ensure that every entry published in the magazine is good enough, and it is for this reason that these measures are implemented.

The three editors also agree with Wang Yongsheng's decision, and everyone understands very well that even those works that are classified as superior grades and meet the publication requirements are compared with the Japanese comics currently published in magazines, and there is a huge gap between them, plus these works can only publish 1-2 issues of short comics, if they are placed in the magazine so casually, they will not attract the attention of many readers. However, if this short manga contest is held, the contest itself will have a great appeal to readers, and it will also increase the attention of the work.

In addition, the final winning work will be decided by the readers' voting results, forming an interaction between the contest and the readers, which greatly increases the attention of the readers, whether it is for "The King of Paintings" or for the author himself, it is a good thing that has all the benefits and no harm, and there is a reason for opposition.

"Hehe, Xiao Cai is going to trouble you again, you can help me take a look at this submission and help me write a few brief comments." Lu Jian put a submission on Cai Yu's table and said with a smile.

In the face of Lu Jian's request for help, Cai Yu also said happily: "Well, no problem, I'll wait and see." ”

"Haha, that's really helpful to me. It's like that sentence, when the book is used, you see that Zheng Nan and I are not studying art, although we can both see a comic

It's good and bad, but it's a bit overwhelming for us to explain the pros and cons of a comic from an artistic point of view.

Zheng Nan also said at this time: "So I said that Editor-in-Chief Wang fortunately recruited Xiao Cai to the editorial department, otherwise I and Lu Jian alone would definitely not be able to bear it." ”

Cai Yu looked at the letter in his hand and said: "No, in fact, the brief reviews you wrote before were also very good, and basically said the shortcomings of the analyzed comics." By the way, have any of you read a comic of "Full Time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar", and a handsome writer wrote to ask, why haven't you received a reply after more than a month? ”

""Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar", I haven't read these two comics, and the name is such a distinctive work, after I read it, but I don't have an impression!" Lu Jian shrugged.

Zheng Nan said without hesitation: "I haven't read these two comics either, so it can't be that there was an accident in the mailing process." Xiao Cai, what is the name of that author? ”

"The author's name is Xiang Junfei, and he is a painter in Chongqing."

“…… Chongqing...... Xiang Junfei, wait, I still want to see this author's manuscript somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while. Zheng Nan pounded his head and began to search for his memory.

The author said in the letter that the two comics had taken a lot of effort on his part, so he had to send him the drafts regardless of whether the works were published or not. Judging by the address, this author is a schoolboy. ”

"Elementary school students? Oh, I remember, I received this author's sketch, but I forgot to read it at the time, so I put it somewhere, so I'll look for it first. After Cai Yu's reminder, Zheng Nan remembered Xiang Junfei, so he looked for Xiang Junfei's contribution on his messy desk full of comics.

"Finally found it!" After sorting out the comics on the desk, Zheng Nan finally turned out the submissions that were pressed at the bottom from the comics pile.

Zheng Nan also felt a little guilty in his heart at this time, although until this moment, he also thought that the sketch submitted to Junfei would not be a good work, but even if the work was bad, it was painted by others, at least he should take a look at it and give someone a reply.

Forget it, no matter how bad the quality of the sketch is, write a brief review for others, as an encouragement to this little painter. Zheng Nan had this idea in mind, tore open the envelope, and took out the sketch inside.

ps: Today I also recommend to you a domestic comic that I think is not bad, Hu Rong's "Bai Qiu Lian", it is worth mentioning that the screenwriter of the work is the editor-in-chief of "The King of Paintings", Mr. Wang Yongsheng. This comic is adapted from Liao Zhai's "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", the plot basically respects the original, Hu Rong's clear and graceful, elegant, and ancient Chinese painting brushwork adds a lot of color to the comic book, even if you look at the original work, after picking up the comic version, you can also get the visual enjoyment of the non-text version.
