Chapter 50: Revise the Script
When mainland comic fans were looking forward to the early resumption of "The King of Paintings" and the re-appearance of comic masterpieces such as "Full-time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar", these two works suddenly appeared in the Hong Kong and Taiwan comic circles.
"Full-time Hunter" began to be serialized in Dongli's "New Shonen Weekly", and "Next Stop Superstar" was also serialized in Taiwan's local girl comic magazine "Star Girl", at this time, other comic publishers in Hong Kong and Taiwan were completely unaware of what impact these two comics would have on Hong Kong and Taiwan's local comics, and it was not clear what a great cartoonist the cartoonist Kengzai, the author of these two comics, would grow up to become.
But it won't be long before those who have given up on Xiang Junfei Comic Publishing will know what a stupid decision they have made.
Although he has been dealing with the signing of the contract with Dongli some time ago, Xiang Junfei has not forgotten that he is the president of the sharing club, and today last month, he asked Chen Jia and Wu Lili to complete a 10,000-word comic script within a month, so today in the club activity time, he asked: "When the month is up, let everyone write the comic script."
How's it going, don't tell me it's not finished yet, right? ”
Chen Jia and Wu Lili glanced at each other, nodded, and then took out a notebook from each other's drawers and handed it to Xiang Junfei.
After Chen Jia handed over the notebook, she rubbed her hands and said, "As for the script, Lily and I have already finished writing, but ...... But we all lack self-confidence and don't know if it's good to write a script. ”
"No problem, I'll take a good look at the script you wrote, and take care of it, after all, when you draw the comics, you have to submit them to the magazine, and you must use a brilliant plot to attract the editors, so that the possibility of passing the review will be greater." Xiang Junfei answered as he opened the notebook handed by Chen Jia and began to review the script she wrote.
"What...... What, contribution? Do we still have to submit our comics? Hearing Xiang Junfei's words, Chen Jia asked in surprise.
"Of course, how difficult it is to draw a comic, are you willing to allow the comics you have worked so hard to create are only appreciated by a few of us, and you can't meet the thousands of comic fans across the country?"
"But...... But according to our level, how can we still be favored by the editors, and besides, "The King of Paintings" has been suspended, and there is no place to publish comics even in the pit, where can we go to draw and submit our manuscripts? Wu Lili seems to be less confident, of course, at their age, what experience do they have in drawing plot comics, and now their debut novel is said to be submitted, and it is inevitable that there will be this reaction.
"Hehe, in fact, you don't have to be presumptuous, although your painting skills are not mature now, but compared with some authors in the "Painting King" short story competition, you are not inferior to them. If other people's comics can be seen by editors, why can't you! Don't worry, although "The King of Paintings" has been discontinued, but believe me, it won't be long before new comic magazines will be founded, and these newly founded comic magazines will definitely solicit contributions from the outside world, as long as there are no major problems with the script, I believe that according to your comics, you can be featured in comic magazines.
Although they don't know why Xiang Junfei is sure that there will be a new comic magazine in the near future, Chen Jia and Wu Lili both feel that Xiang Junfei's words are 100% reliable, and now they are trembling with excitement when they hear Xiang Junfei say that their comics have great hope to be published in comic magazines.
"I'm here, I'm here, I've also written a script, Junfei, you can help me read it too." Ma Qiang was not willing to be lonely at this time, and handed over the script he wrote.
"By the way, I almost forgot that you also wrote the script. That's okay, I'll keep the script of the three of you first, go back and revise it tonight, and I'll give you comments tomorrow. ”
Of course, Ma Qiang and the three of them had no opinion on Xiang Junfei's decision, at this time, they seemed to have just finished the final exam, accompanied by anxiety and anticipation, waiting for Xiang Junfei's review opinions tomorrow.
After returning home, Xiang Junfei suspended the creation of "Full-Time Hunter" and "Next Stop Superstar", but sat at his desk, and began to read the script of Ma Qiang and the three of them carefully. The first thing he read was Chen Jia's draft, perhaps influenced by "Daughter of the Nile", and the script written by Chen Jia this time is also a time-travel, telling the story of an ordinary high school girl who traveled to the Sui Dynasty and met Li Shimin, who was in the age of the weak crown, and then fell in love with Li Shimin, and assisted Li Shimin in overthrowing the story of the tyrannical Sui.
Crossing the theme, although the topic selection is good, the script written by Chen Jia is too copycat, basically just a slight modification of some of the plots of "Daughter of the Nile", especially the character of the heroine, which is no different from Carol and has no characteristics of her own. For example, "The Sky is the Red River Bank" Although there are also many shadows of "Nile Daughter", people have spent a lot of effort on the character setting, and readers will not feel that Yuri and Cairol are overlapping people after reading this comic. Her script had to be changed drastically, otherwise readers who had seen "Daughter of the Nile" would see it as a mere plagiarism.
Xiang Junfei began to think about how to revise Chen Jia's script, the theme of crossing has always been popular with comic fans, so he will not move this theme, but the plot will have to be greatly modified. After careful consideration, Xiang Junfei modified the heroine's personality slightly, although she is still a high school girl, but she has joined the family background, the heroine has lived in a poor family since she was a child, so although she is not old, she is very sensible and praised by her neighbors. Later, the heroine traveled to the Shang Dynasty and became Daji, the wife of the king of Shang......
Compared with the above decent time-traveling drama, Xiang Junfei's revised script is undoubtedly much more interesting, a kind modern person is reborn as China's first enchantress, and the strong personality differences of this character will bring a strong visual impact to readers. Although in the era of online literature, such a plot is not outstanding, but in 95, such a time-traveling story is definitely novel and eye-catching.
After helping Chen Jia revise the script, Xiang Junfei looked at Wu Lili's script again. This script is about a young girl who loves ballet, but because of an injury, she can no longer step on the stage, and then, with the support of her friends, she cheers up and steps on the stage again and wins the competition.
Xiang Junfei frowned after reading the script, it was bland and boring, and the lack of drama was his evaluation of this script, there was no way, he could only pick up the pen again and start making changes.
