Chapter 25: I Want Coloring Pages
Sensing that everyone in the conference room was looking at him, Yan Fei did not refuse.
This work is related to whether Shen Xin will be valued by the magazine, and may even have an impact on his career as a cartoonist, for which Yan Fei must show confidence and decisiveness, as well as the determination to win the color page.
Xiao Zhang said casually, and after Yan Fei stood up from his seat, he suddenly became nervous.
"Smack!"
Yan Fei put a copy of the name in front of him.
“《Y's》?” Xiao Zhang was a little puzzled when he saw the name in front of him.
It's really rare to have a comic book title with two English letters.
Is this comic really reliable?
Xiao Zhang opened the name with doubts.
The first page of the name is a girl in a sweater standing in front of the window.
Although it was only a pencil sketch and the background was not carefully drawn, the image of the girl's innocence came to life.
At first, he thought it was just a cover page, but when he turned to the second page, he found that it was a picture of a girl's swimsuit, and there was a text description of the girl next to it.
It was as if he wasn't looking at a name, but a picture book.
Turning to the fourth page, when the actor closes the magazine, Xiao Zhang suddenly realizes that the first four pages are not really a picture album, but the first few pages themselves are part of the magazine.
From this page on, Zhang was immersed in the name of "Y's", until he turned to the last page, and realized that the name was finished.
"Gone?" Xiao Zhang looked at Yan Fei in surprise.
"No, you read three words in one breath, it's much better than me." Yan Fei saw Xiao Zhang's unwillingness on his face, and sighed in his heart.
The content of the first two episodes is very attractive to readers in itself. And in the third episode, the contradiction between the hero and heroine is not solved, but a new crisis is added.
After seeing the fruit photos that passed through PS, Iori tore up the photos with a smile, and the relationship between her and Yi Gui also dropped to the freezing point.
Due to the school flower selection, Iori went to take promotional photos after class, but Gu Jingya accidentally discovered that there was a camera installed in the dressing room.
Subsequently, Iori prepares to change his clothes in the room with the camera, while Yi Gui on the other side immediately shows anger when he learns the news.
Name ends here.
Next, will Yi Zhi be captured by the camera, and what kind of reaction will Yi Gui have after learning about this incident, and will the misunderstanding between the two be resolved. Knowing these answers, we can only wait until the fourth word.
Yan Fei understood Xiao Zhang's feelings very well, and after reading the third episode, she couldn't wait to ask about the story behind her, but in the end she endured it.
She enjoyed the different feelings brought about by the dissolution of old contradictions and the creation of new contradictions in this comic, and if there were spoilers, it would be not interesting.
"What do you think of this name?" After reading it three or four times, the editor-in-chief also came to his senses from the name, but his eyes were bright.
After working in this industry for more than ten years, he still has an eye for judging the quality of his works.
Judging from the first 3 episodes, the quality of "Y's" is better than that of "Crumbling", and as long as there are no accidents, it should be able to achieve good results.
With this work, "New World" can not say that it can turn over and surpass "Dreamer", but it should be possible to stop the decline of "New World".
Xiao Zhang's face is a little ugly, compared to "Y's", "I Can Meet You Anywhere" really needs to be greatly improved.
However, a good work is a good work, even if he is dissatisfied with Yan Fei, he will not speak with a clear conscience.
"I ...... I think it's okay and meets the requirements for serialization. Xiao Zhang said.
Other editors also nodded, and there was no reason why a manuscript of this quality, even if it was placed in "Weekly Comic Future", should not be serialized.
"In that case, "Y's" is over, and now let's discuss Mr. Zhang's name."
"Wait a minute, editor-in-chief, I have something to say." Yan Fei stood up from her seat.
"Y's" was serialized, as she expected. Her main purpose, but what happened next.
"What else is there to do?" The editor-in-chief asked.
"Graving! I think this name is completely worthy of the headlining! Yan Fei took a deep breath and said loudly.
"What?" When Xiao Zhang heard Yan Fei's words, he was amused, "Sister Yan, our magazine has never been a newcomer, and he got the headpiece color page in the first episode of the serial. ”
Yan Fei glanced at Xiao Zhang, did not speak, and quickly returned to the editor-in-chief.
"Editor-in-chief, if you want to give full play to the greatest charm of this comic, if we want to have our own signature comics, we must have a headline color page." Yan Fei knew that she couldn't back down at this time, even if she gritted her teeth.
The editor-in-chief clasped his hands to his chest and fell into deep thought.
"I remember correctly, this author has only published a short story in our magazine, right? If it's so easy to give him coloring pages, then, what about other old authors? A middle-aged editor objected.
The other editors nodded.
It's not that they don't like this serialized comic, but a magazine has limited resources.
The headline is more eye-catching than the black and white pages, and the comics at the front of the magazine are more likely to be liked by readers than the comics at the back of the magazine.
Therefore, every editor is very nervous about whether their authors will fall in rank due to the lack of resources, and then be on the verge of being cut in half.
"Everyone has read the first issue of "Weekly Dreamer", right?" Yan Fei said as calmly as possible, "A magazine that is trying to turn over, dare to put the works of newcomers on the front page of the magazine, why can't we do it?" ”
"That's because the original work of "Crumbling" is Su Han." The middle-aged editor retorted.
"Do you think this article is not as good as 'Crumbling'? Or is there a better name? Then take it out and let us all judge together. Yan Fei asked rhetorically.
"You ......" the middle-aged editor slapped the table hard, but couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Yan Fei ignored the middle-aged editor and continued: "The latest issue of "Monthly Comic Future", everyone should have read it, right? As a newcomer, although Ye Hexu did not get the headpiece color page, he got the cover of the magazine. Other magazines can boldly use newcomers, why can't we? Editor-in-chief, the current situation of our magazine is not optimistic, I think you should know better than us, right? ”
In the entire conference room, there was silence, and the editors present had different expressions, thinking about the pros and cons.
"I'm sorry, I'm done with what I'm going to say." Yan Fei bowed slightly, and then sat down.
Now that you've made it clear, you don't need to talk any further, otherwise it might backfire.
"Ahem, let me tell you what I think." The deputy editor-in-chief, who had been watching the play next to him, suddenly spoke, but his eyes did not take off Name, "Just look at Name, no matter the setting of the story, or the storyboard, and composition, there is a very high level." And the author's painting work is also performed in "Love Equation", and the basic skills are still very solid. Considering that the comic begins with a portrait of the heroine, I don't think it's too much to give the headpiece color page to this comic, and we really need to come up with a newcomer who can carry the beam. However, if he wants to make a jackpot, there will be two difficulties. ”
"What's the difficulty?" Yan Fei frowned, this matter really won't be smooth sailing.
The gravure color page is really not so easy to take.
"His painting is fine, but drawing color pages is not the same as drawing black and white comics, how good is his coloring level?"
"No problem." Yan Fei said categorically.
She hadn't seen Shen Xin coloring either, but she couldn't show hesitation now. Take down the color page on the headpiece first, and as for Shen Xin's coloring level, we'll talk about it then.
"The second question is difficult - if I'm not mistaken, the coloring pages for the next month have already been distributed. Editor-in-chief, what do you think of the arrangement? The deputy editor-in-chief turned his head to look at the editor-in-chief.
