On September 26th, Meng Zhe, who was busy preparing for the first annual meeting of "Anime Boys" cartoonists, received the original manuscript from Zhang Heng again.

So after opening the big envelope, Meng Zhe saw a name that made him messy in the wind - "Infinite Terror".

O heaven, O earth!

Although Meng Zhe wrote two letters to Zhang Heng, Meng Zhe never mentioned the name "Infinite Terror" no matter which letter he was in, but now this name has appeared.

And after opening and seeing the character map, Meng Zhe saw the names that he was familiar with: Chu Xuan, Zheng Qi, Zhang Heng...... In the short story of "Infinite Horror" after the redrawing, Zhang Heng took Zheng Qi as the first protagonist and drew an infinite flow story related to A Chinese Ghost Story. It can be seen that Zhang Heng has obviously watched the 91 version of the "A Chinese Ghost Story" movie, so the scenes in the comics are very similar to the scenes in the movie, but the characters are completely different, so there is no need to worry about being accused of plagiarism.

To be honest, Zhang Heng's storyboard is not very good, and the lines are slightly sluggish, but the story full of blood and passion has made up for the shortcomings of this part?

You know, although Meng Zhe has been tinkering for more than a year, China's local comics are still just starting at this stage, and now because of the 5155 Project, there are five regular comic magazines in the country at once - so many magazines, how many cartoonists are needed to fill the vacancy?

Even "Anime Shonen", which is "full of talents", is about to launch the information magazine "Anime Time", and all the short stories have to be transferred to Anime Time, so there are not enough long-form serials.

So compared with the countless cartoonists over there who can't get serialization opportunities, the current local Chinese cartoonists are really happy, they only need to draw no less than the average water quality, the storyboard is not too bad, and the story is not too bad...... You can get serialized in manga magazines!

And Zhang Heng's painting and storyboard are no less than the average water quality, and his storytelling ability is much beyond the others, Meng Zhe has no reason not to give him the opportunity to publish the short story - this is different from sending Yao Feila's short story back and redrawing, because Zhang Heng is still in the name of a newcomer.

After reading the original manuscript of the entire comic and confirming that there was at least no problem with the story, Meng Zhe took the original manuscript to Du Yiwei, the preliminary editor of the magazine.

"Sister Huailiu, help me check this manuscript and see if there is any suspected plagiarism."

While speaking, Meng Zhe handed the original manuscript of the comic version of "Infinite Terror" in his hand to Du Yiwei's desk, which was littered with various manuscripts.

"Right now!"

Du Yiwei, who is nicknamed 'Huailiu' by the editor, chewed bubblegum and replied vaguely, and as she spoke, she put the red pencil in her right hand to her hair, and then reached for the original comic manuscript of "Infinite Terror".

Just after reading two pages, Du Yiwei let out a surprised voice: "Huh? This Zhang Heng is very powerful, the original style of "The Slayer" was very dark, but now it seems to be suitable for publication on the anime boys, there is no shortage of friendship and blood, and even the content of loyalty to the country is involved, and the story is much more interesting than the original...... Editor-in-chief Xiao Meng, I think this infinite horror is now very suitable for expanding the long serialization! And the results should be very good after the serialization. ”

"No one can say for sure." After Meng Zhe said noncommittally, he repeated the question just now: "Is there any suspected plagiarism?" ”

"Nope!" Huailiu quickly turned to the last page, then shook his head and made a conclusion: "Except for the Lanruo Temple painted on the middle pages, which is a bit similar to the Lanruo Temple in the Hong Kong movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", the rest of the place should be original." ”

"Well, I know Sister Huailiu!" Since even Huailiu didn't find that there was a problem, then now this comic version of "Infinite Terror" should really have no problem.

After expressing his gratitude to Du Yiwei, Meng Zhe saw that Du Yiwei seemed to have the intention of continuing to read the manuscript carefully, so he said again: "Sister Huailiu, I will help me take this infinitely terrifying manuscript to Uncle Song and him." ”

"No problem! No problem at all! Meng Zhe's words immediately aroused Du Yiwei's fierce response.

It's just that after patiently waiting for Du Yiwei's answer, Meng Zhe said something that Du Yiwei didn't expect: "Since Sister Huailiu, you like this infinite horror, then you will be the editor of Zhang Heng." ”

"What?" Du Yiwei looked at Meng Zhe in surprise, and almost swallowed the bubble gum in her mouth because she was too surprised: "Editor-in-chief Xiao Meng, I really like this comic." But I'm the first editor of the comics, is it ...... to be the editor-in-charge Something out of order? ”

Regarding Du Yiwei's concerns, Meng Zhe simply dispelled them, and he also stirred up intentionally or unintentionally: "In the rules and regulations of the magazine, there is no article that the comic preliminary editor cannot be the responsible editor." Of course, Sister Huailiu, if you feel that you are not competent, then I will let other editors do it. ”

"I'll do it!" Although Meng Zhe was just lightly excited, Du Yiwei immediately exploded, she didn't care what the problem was that she was an employee and Meng Zhe was the boss, and raised her eyebrows and provoked Meng Zhe to say: "Editor-in-Chief Xiao Meng, when you are the stupid guardian of the Three Kingdoms, you are suppressed by this infinite terror or something, don't cry your nose!" ”

Ha?

Cry?

Joke...... The editor-in-chief of this book is a person in his early thirties, so he will cry because of this kind of thing?

But then again, the TV series of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has just finished broadcasting, and in this issue of the investigation, the "Stupid Guardian of the Three Kingdoms" we drew immediately fell to the fourth place in the favorite work, this kind of thing, this kind of thing...... Aunt can bear it, Uncle can't bear it!

Yao Feila's "Digimon", because he drew a small **, so this issue of King Meng Zhe can't bear to look at it, Oda Eiichiro's "one-piece", the second issue of the serial noun is still in the second place, this Meng Zhe is a little difficult to accept!

The next issue of Kishimoto Kishimoto's "The World of Controversy" version of Naruto is about to start serializing on the anime shonen, and "The World of Controversy", which can get the second best score in the short story, will the results get worse when it is serialized in the long form?

Therefore, Meng Zhe feels that in the next issue of the Anime Boys' Reader Survey, if nothing else, he may not be able to keep the top three.

It's just been a year since the magazine was launched, and Meng Zhe, who is known as a 'genius boy cartoonist', has been squeezed out of the top three of the most popular works among readers, will Meng Zhe not care?

How can you not care about ——,!

Meng Zhe cares about it, although he doesn't cry his nose...... Therefore, if Zhang Heng is trained by Du Yiwei, he will bring "Infinite Terror" to suppress Meng Zhe's "Stupid Guardian of the Three Kingdoms" again...... This kind of thing is terrible!

What did Jiang Lang do...... The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach or something...... "Heh, Editor-in-Chief Xiao Meng, your face is a little bad." Looking at Meng Zhe, who had fallen into imagination, Du Yiwei, who consciously pulled back a game, said with a smile.

So, Meng Zhe, who was deliberately provoking Du Yiwei just now, clenched his fists and said enthusiastically: "I'm going to draw a new short story!" ”

Meng Zhe's serious expression scared Du Yiwei, and she finally remembered that Meng Zhe was the editor-in-chief of the magazine, and she was just the new editor, so Du Yiwei tried to remedy: "What, editor-in-chief Xiao Meng, I was joking just now, so don't take it seriously?" Although the popularity of the fool is indeed declining......"

Hey, the straightforward Du Yiwei's remedial words, especially the last sentence of the stupid person's declining popularity or something, it's really better not to say it.

Meng Zhe has completely made up his mind to draw a new short story!

According to the schedule set by Kong Lan and Meng Zhe, the consulting magazine "Animation Time" will be launched in January next year, and then exist in the form of a monthly magazine. At that time, the short manga that was originally published in "Anime Shonen" will be transferred.

And the short story of "Infinite Horror" submitted by Zhang Heng is about two to three issues later, that is, at the end of October or early November, and will be serialized on "Anime Boy" before the revision.

Then, if there is no accident, the long-form manga version of "Infinite Terror" will start a long-form series in early January, that is, in the first issue of "Anime Shonen" in the first issue of the first issue of '95.

In other words, Meng Zhe needed to draw a short story in about the same time, and then serialize it in the first issue of 95...... It's obviously a bit of a victory in the words of the deity, so Meng Zhe plans to open a 'little vest' at that time and draw new comics with the name of a new comic author, so that there is no shame in winning or losing...... Hmm, wait!

If you compare two people, it seems quite boring?

Why don't you use the annual meeting of cartoonists and the support for "Anime Time" as a reason, and gather the serialized cartoonists who are now on "Anime Shonen", as well as those short comic authors with the best grades, to draw a short story each, and then put it on the first issue of "Anime Time" for a competition?

In this way, not only is it a natural comparison, but it can also be promoted for "Anime Boys...... As soon as this idea came out of Meng Zhe's heart, it never lingered again!

So, Meng Zhe, whose eyes were shining with excitement, stared at Du Yiwei and showed a bright smile: "Sister Huailiu, thank you!" You gave me a really interesting idea! ”

After speaking, Meng Zhe didn't wait for Du Yiwei to react, so he ran to Kong Lan like a gust of wind to discuss this matter.

…… After discussing with Kong Lan about the "Anime Time" that will be launched in January next year, the "Serial Comics and Outstanding Short Cartoonists Contest" was held, Meng Zhe was directly caught by Kong Lan - on the inaugural issue of "Anime Boys", it was clearly stated that the annual meeting of serialized cartoonists, outstanding short cartoonists and enthusiastic readers will be held every year, so since the beginning of September, the Anime Boys Magazine has begun preparations for the annual meeting.

The matter of serialized cartoonists is the easiest to solve, except for Guangdong Eleven Tiger, who has never been to the Anime Boy Magazine, and Ah Heng of Jinhong Comics, the other serialized cartoonists are all in this small Wufeng County, so it is not troublesome to organize at all.

However, those short story cartoonists who have won the top three awards such as the "Chess Academy Award" and the "Red Theme Essay Competition" are scattered all over the country. Similar to the excellent short story artists, there are more than 100 enthusiastic readers selected from the enthusiastic readers who send back the reader survey in each issue...... In two or three days, this brigade of more than 100 dozens of people will come to Wufeng County to participate in the author's annual meeting.

In order not to be cold at that time, you need to think about various small activities in advance and choose someone with the ability to host. For this reason, Meng Zhe, who was caught by Kong Lan, racked his brains to think of some game projects - what is the prize "Three Kingdoms Killing" competition, what is the prize "killing game" competition, and what funny version of the various award ceremonies and so on.

As for the person with the ability to host, Meng Zhe, who was arrested by Kong Lan, changed hands and arrested the editor Xiao Zhao of the magazine, who is good at handling foreign affairs and has a very happy appearance.

It was easy to deal with these things, but Meng Zhe was caught by Yan Kai, who came to him with the revised short sketch, so Meng Zhe began to read the new short comics drawn by Yan Kai again.

When he opened it, Meng Zhe found that the name of the original "Fairy Sword 1\2" was modified by Yan Kai to "Transforming into a Sword Immortal".

"That's pretty much the name."

After reading the name, Meng Zhe commented.

was originally very nervous about salt boiled water, but after hearing Meng Zhe's words, he immediately showed a relieved expression, in order to think of the name salt boiled water, he didn't have a lot of dead brain cells!

As for the content of the manuscript, Meng Zhe just hurriedly swept it and didn't read it again, and after the somewhat messy manuscript was stomped, Meng Zhe made the final judgment to Yan Kaixia, who was apprehensive about the application: "There is no problem, take the manuscript and hand it over to your editor-in-charge, and you can start drawing the long story now." ”

Meng Zhe's words made the salt boiled water, which had been dormant for several months but had not taken out any works since he was dug up by Kong Lan to the anime boy, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and jumped up and shouted!

There is no manga published, but he enjoys the treatment of a serialized manga artist, how can this situation be that no one is talking about it behind his back? And how could he himself not have pressure in his heart when he boiled water?

Well, now, this new manga that has been painstakingly drawn for so long has finally received the nod of Mr. Jiji, is there anything more exciting than this? Anything else?!

If it weren't for the fact that Meng Zhe was next to him, maybe he would have made other more radical celebrations when he was so excited that he couldn't do salt boiled water.

After more than ten minutes, the excited salt boiled water finally calmed down, and after thanking Meng Zhe for a good meal, the salt boiled water finally went back with his sketches.

And after this delay, Meng Zhe obviously didn't have time to continue drawing comics, so he could only pack up his things and go home to wash and sleep.

The next day, the invited short story artists and enthusiastic readers began to arrive one after another.

In order to help with the reception, Meng Zhe handed over a fake note to Guan Yingluo early after the morning exercise, and asked Guan Yingluo to help ask the head teacher for leave.

Meng Zhe, a genius anime boy, personally took people to pick up the car, and his humble and polite actions made many short cartoonists and enthusiastic readers who came early feel very, very surprised and moved.

In everyone's mind, since Meng Zhe, a genius comic boy, is a young man, how can there be some rampant ambitions. Last semester, Meng Zhe, a genius anime boy, was stabbed in the arm, so many readers had to suspend the publication...... Dare to be ruthless, no, it's ruthless, and almost kicked someone else's genius comic boy Meng Jiji, who doesn't look good at all, not to mention being brave and ruthless, and how do you look like a humble gentleman like a little adult?!

Then, after eating the meal washed by the wind, Meng Zhe, who took everyone to visit around the Tianjiao Society, Jiji Animation Studio and the cartoonists' residences, let everyone know about his humorous and funny side.

In the evening, when the first prize "Three Kingdoms Killing" competition was held, he was eliminated in the first round because of his poor card skills and bad luck.

After a while, these short cartoonists and enthusiastic readers who came to attend the annual meeting saw the two big lolis of the Jiang family who came to find Meng Zhe...... Looking at Meng Zhe, who behaved intimately with the two big loli, everyone finally understood why Meng Zhe, who was a genius comic boy and seemed to be gentle, had the incident of being stabbed and kicking people hard.

If you change us, we'll kick it hard!

Of course, everyone can only think about this kind of thought in their hearts, and basically no one dares to give birth to other ideas - why? Because Mr. Gigi is too 'cruel'!

Subsequently, the highlight of the first annual meeting of "Anime Shonen" began.

After the serialized manga artists gave testimonials at one time、The funny version of the annual anime boy award ceremony began。

The first award was the Most Filial Cartoonist Award of the Year for Anime Teenagers, and the winner was Guangdong Eleven Tiger, the author of "The Most Glorious Labor", and he got a prize of a dragon head crutch because his mother was not in good health.

The next award was Yao Feila, and the award was the Most Popular Cartoonist of the Year Award.

As for the reason for winning the award, it is naturally the incident of Yao Feila's fanatical fan Bu Qiming who traveled thousands of miles with roses to court.

The third award is the Most Popular Female Cartoonist Award of the Year, and before the winner of this award has been announced, everyone's eyes have already fallen on Meng Zhe
