Chapter Twenty-Nine: The King of Paintings
Originally, Meng Zhe planned to spend two days on the weekend to complete the 31p version of the short story of "Chess Soul", but in the end, it was delayed until Monday night of the second week, and the work was completed with the help of Chen Xiang and others.
During this period, the last two people in the first batch to receive the invitation - Hu Qianrong and Zheng Xusheng arrived in Zhou Yue and Monday respectively, and their submissions were not selected for the third issue of "Anime Boys", so it is normal to hesitate for a while.
When they saw Meng Zhe, the expressions of the two were no different from those of Chen Xiang and Yao Feila before, they didn't believe that Meng Zhe, who was only twelve years old, turned out to be the Master Meng Jiji they admired.
However, this time Meng Zhe didn't need to prove it himself, Chen Xiang and Yao Feila had already explained it for him, plus Jiang Ling's help beside him, Hu Qianrong and Zheng Xusheng could only half-believe it and accept the fact that Meng Zhe was Meng Jiji.
In this way, the first batch of future manga artists gathered by the anime boys finally arrived.
Then Meng Zhe began to think, since there are already so many people, do you need to give this collective a name?
Summer Island?
Not...... Not powerful enough, not flamboyant enough.
Look at Huang Yulang's 'Jade Dynasty', how mighty the name is!
So, Meng Zhe grabbed his scalp and racked his brains to continue thinking of names, and finally he came up with three team names that were consciously good - 'Attraction', 'Chaowendao', and 'Ji Xiangtian'.
After thinking of it, Meng Zhe took out the two names he thought of and told Kong Lan to listen.
"Xiao Zhe, you mean, let our magazine's cartoonists form a team, and then appear as a team?"
Kong Lan was very interested in Meng Zhe's idea, and she thought of more things.
"No, everyone still publishes their own pen names, but they need to put the team's logo on the works they publish. In this way, as soon as readers see this logo in the future, they will know that this is the work of our cartoonist under the magazine......"
Meng Zhe nodded and said, that's basically what he meant, but he didn't think too much about it.
"Xiao Zhe, your idea is very good! We want to strive to make the works of the cartoonists in the team become excellent quality products, so that this team Peugeot will slowly be regarded as synonymous with high-quality comics by readers! No——, it will definitely become famous as a famous manga brand! ”
Kong Lan interrupted Meng Zhe's words, she excitedly continued Meng Zhe's words, she really felt that Meng Zhe's idea was very good.
"Uh-"
Meng Zhe blinked his eyes, he was hesitating to tell Kong Lan, but it was actually just a whim.
Before Meng Zhe could think about the results, Kong Lan had already followed the train of thought just now and continued to expand the meaning of the names of these teams to be selected: "By the way, I think this logo should not be used by those cartoonists at the beginning. Only those comics that have received the top three most popular works in the return questionnaire in the third to fifth issues can be eligible to use this logo; Then, the top five authors who have obtained several survey data can continue to use this logo in the next comic......"
"In that case, what about those short stories?"
At this moment, it became Meng Zhe to follow Kong Lan's train of thought and think downward.
"Short story...... Isn't there a chance for a short story to be serialized in a long form? Is it okay, let's just follow the Tezuka Award of the book and set up a short award? What do you think? ”
Kong Lan frowned and thought for a moment, and then said her opinion.
"It's a bit early to set up the award, but I think too much...... Getting a long-form serialization opportunity is enough for now. ”
Meng Zhe changed his mind again, and there is a chance that a short story can become a long-form serial, so it doesn't matter if there is no certification of the team logo.
Authentication?
Meng Zhe suddenly found that under Kong Lan's 'misinterpretation', his original idea of just coming up with a team name to play had actually become something similar to the ISO quality certification system.
First-class enterprises do standards, second-rate enterprises build brands, and third-rate enterprises engage in production...... We and Sister Kong Lan seem to have started to make standards?
Meng Zhe couldn't help but show a funny expression, he didn't have the opportunity to participate in this kind of high-end thing in his previous life.
As a result, Meng Zhe's enthusiasm for participating in the formulation of this standard became even higher, and he even suggested that Kong Lan said that if other magazines also publish comic magazines in the future, he could promulgate this logo to other comic magazines for serialized excellent works......
In this regard, Kong Lan thought about it carefully, and the advice he gave was feasible. However, the prerequisite needs to be that Tianjiao Society wants to become the overlord of the industry, even if it is not an oligarch, it must be the heavyweight of Shueisha......
After easily setting all the selection rules, Kong Lan had a difficult time choosing the name of the animation team, because she felt that Meng Zhe's three names were quite good.
In desperation, Kong Lan simply summoned Chen Xiang and the five people, and after making it clear what the name was for, he asked Chen Xiang and the five people to make a choice.
After receiving an accurate explanation, Chen Xiang and the five of them were very enthusiastic about participating, and they debated with each other what name should be used. In the end...... 'Attraction' got three votes, 'Ji Xiangtian' got two votes, and 'Chaowendao' won one vote.
"Well, the name of this certification mark is sure to be attractive! Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you will live up to the expectations of our magazine and become the first cartoonists to receive the certification mark. ”
When the selection results came out, Kong Lan made a decision, and she also encouraged Chen Xiang and others.
"President, it's absolutely impossible for us to get this certification mark in the first batch."
Chen Xiang pouted in Sichuan-flavored Mandarin and said with a bitter face.
"Chen Xiang, why don't you even have this confidence? You should already know that in the first issue of "Anime Boy" next year, your "Little Mountain Story" will get the opportunity to be serialized in a long form, and if you don't even have the confidence to get the 'attractiveness' certification mark, your serialization will probably be cut in half! ”
Chen Xiang's words Kong Lan obviously didn't like to listen, she thought this kind of remarks were too inferior--didn't even have this confidence, was he still a man?
"No, no, it's not that I don't have confidence Wow President, I mean the first one to get the attraction certification mark will definitely be Mr. Jiji-"
Kong Lan's words scared Chen Xiang, who was originally going to be funny, and he could be regarded as a strong woman who saw Kong Lan's decisive killing, so he quickly explained.
"That's good, work hard Chen Xiang. Personally, I think it's pretty good for you to revise the Xiaoshan Chronicles, but whether or not you can get the approval of readers depends on how hard you have to work! ”
After listening to Chen Xiang's explanation, Kong Lan's face slowly softened, she comforted Chen Xiang like this again, and then turned around and went back to the president's office.
"Teacher Jiji, President Kong was really amazing just now! It almost scared me to death......"
When Kong Lan walked away, Chen Xiang stuck out his tongue and said to Meng Zhe who was left.
"Hehe, Sister Lan is like this, no one will leave her affection when she is working, but it's different outside of working hours......"
Meng Zhe comforted Chen Xiang with a smile, and after answering a few painting questions raised by the other four people, he also went back to his own studio and started to work.
It's a pity that Meng Zhe picked up the dipping pen and finished sketching an original manuscript, Kong Lan hurriedly walked into the studio with a comic magazine.
"Xiao Zhe, when Uncle Song went to buy office supplies just now, he accidentally saw this comic magazine that had just been tried out in the bookstore. This magazine is amazing! It's only the first issue of the trial issue, and it has already been able to make the goods shop in our small county......"
Meng Zhe turned his head to look and saw such a familiar but unfamiliar name - "Painting King Boy".
