With the experience of "Drawing King", none of the newly founded manga magazines dared to publish Japanese manga without authorization, so each magazine had to dig out potential manga artists from China to enhance the appeal of its own magazines.

If you want to ask which cartoonist these magazines want to include in their banner, there is no doubt that there is a pit boy who is the first comic artist in Chinese mainland. As early as the era of "Painting King", Pit Tsai has become the most well-known cartoonist in China, and the popularity of "Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" is not inferior to the popular Japanese comics. However, because Keng Tsai has now become a cartoonist under Dongli, unless they are willing to pay a large amount of copyright fees to buy the copyright of "Full Time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar" from Dongli, they can only stare at it.

For the time being, there is no way to fight the idea of pitting, these comic magazines can naturally only focus on other cartoonists, in the case of "more people and less porridge", they launched a fierce battle for talent, Yan Kai, Chen Xiang, Zheng Xusheng, Hu Qianrong, Jiang Ling and other outstanding young cartoonists have been included in some comic magazines.

However, the domestic new comic movement has only been carried out in China for a year or two, and there are only a handful of more famous mainland cartoonists, especially after such a scratch, each magazine feels that its camp is too thin, so they all put out a call for papers, hoping that they can dig out a new "pit" from the vast sea of people like "The King of Painting".

Now the mainland comic world is no longer the era when the "Painting King" was dominant, compared with the original, there has not been a significant increase in comic fans, but there are two or three comic magazines in the past, and they have become more than a dozen now, and at present, these magazines have no obvious style orientation, that is, everyone's readership is the same. You must know that most readers buy one or two comic magazines every month, so in this case, the competition between the major comic magazines is very fierce, especially in this "talent war", "Beijing Cartoon" belongs to the kind that did not take advantage, the group of cartoonists cultivated by "Painting King", only Yao Feila became its cartoonist, and Yao Feila only published a short comic on "Painting King", and the influence is not a grade compared with Yan Kai and others. can only be regarded as a newcomer with potential. Although "Beijing Cartoon" itself has a deep background and national policy support, it has been left behind by others in the competition with other comic magazines, so the magazine itself pays more attention to the cultivation of newcomers. Checking the submissions every day and selecting potential painters is a must-do job for editors.

After the suspension of "The King of Painting", Zheng Nan was unemployed, originally he was expecting "The King of Painting" to resume publication, and continue to go back as his comic editor, but later from Wang Yongsheng got the news that "The King of Painting" could not be republished, he had to find another way, when the country changed its policy and began to vigorously support the local comic industry, comic editors like him with rich experience did not worry about finding a job, and all newly founded comic magazines urgently needed an editor with work experience like him. Now Zheng Nan has become an editor of "Beijing Cartoon", and because of his past work experience, he has been appointed as the head of the editorial department, which also shows the importance he attaches to the former editor of "The King of Paintings".

"Alas, it's a pity that Pit Tsai has signed a contract with Dongli, otherwise with his past relationship, he would have been pulled under the banner of "Beijing Cartoon", and the sales of the first issue of the magazine would not be so pitiful." Thinking that the inaugural issue of "Beijing Cartoon" sold less than 10,000 copies, Zheng Nan couldn't help but think of the glory of "The King of Painting" in the past.

In the last issue of "The King of Paintings", the sales of the magazine were as high as 850,000 copies, and the current "Beijing Cartoon" is far from being able to catch up with even a fraction of the "King of Paintings", of course, it is unfair to compare the inaugural issue of a magazine with the peak period of a magazine, but the sales of the first issue of "The King of Paintings" are also more than 30,000 copies, and if it were not for Wang Yongsheng being too conservative and not increasing shipments, the results of the inaugural issue of "The King of Paintings" are not too much, and the sales of 50,000 copies can definitely be achieved.

The shipment of the first issue of Beijing Cartoon was only 10,000 copies, but the actual sales were just over half, and now the magazine has recalled a large number of magazines that cannot be sold.

"Forget it, what's the use of thinking about this, let's honestly see if there are any potential newcomers, as long as they have one-tenth of the talent of the pit boy, then the increase in magazine sales is just around the corner." Zheng Nan patted his cheeks with both hands, cheered up, and began to open the submission envelope on the desktop and review the manuscript.

To be honest, compared with the era of "The King of Paintings", the current painting skills of the painters have been significantly improved, which Zheng Nan can clearly feel when he reviews the submission, but he feels regretful that the painting skills of the painters have improved, but the ability to make up stories has not been significantly improved, and the phenomenon of disease-free ** is very serious, just like the submission he is reading now, which tells the story of a girl who fell in love with a boy, and the boy fell in love with a friend of the girl, Then the girl felt that she was hurt, and wrote something in her diary every day such as "Love is dead, in this dark night, so, I cried, and my tears turned into shooting stars that night!; I used to think that love is like the rose that never withers, always fragrant and fragrant, but the rose is withered! Later, the boy saw the girl's diary meaningfully and found that he was deeply loved by the girl, so he was moved to confess to the girl immediately, and the story ended successfully.

Such a comic script is neither funny, nor touching, not even a third-rate romance novel, and the reason why the heroine falls in love with the male protagonist is only because he is handsome, and he does not dig out some deep connotations at all, which makes Zheng Nan scratch his head.
