Fu Bo, who squinted his eyes, was like a boy next door, and with a baby face, Wang Wenhong couldn't be sure of his age.

Fu Bo put the schoolbag to the side, called the waiter, asked for a dessert and a cup of matcha, and then looked at Wang Wenhong in front of him.

"You are the editor-in-charge of Comic Future, Mr. Wang Wenhong?"

"yes." Wang Wenhong's eyes glanced at Fu Bo's schoolbag, "You just came back from school." ”

"Where's ......" Fu Bo waved his hand, and then looked at Wang Wenhong curiously, "Do I look young?" ”

"It's supposed to be in your early twenties, right?" Wang Wenhong glanced at Fu Bo again.

The skin reveals a touch of ruddy in the whiteness, as if it can wring out water at any time.

Girls' skin, nothing more than that, right?

Wang Wenhong thought to himself.

"Thirty ...... I'm thirty years old. Fu Bo said with a smile.

Yes?

Wang Wenhong looked at Fu Bo in surprise, this guy is even younger than himself?

No, he's already thirty? Younger than yourself?

Wang Wenhong couldn't figure it out.

"Then you're not a student?" Wang Wenhong glanced at Fu Bo's schoolbag again.

"On the contrary, I'm a teacher, I've just gotten off work, and the school is near here." Fu Bo explained.

"Is there a school around here?"

Wang Wenhong really didn't care about it, but Fu Bo turned out to be a teacher, so he should be very popular with students, right?

"Yes, it's not a regular school. Well, it's a comic school. Fu Bo put a piece of pastry into his mouth and smiled happily.

It's so cute...... It would be nice if the eyes were bigger.

Wang Wenhong meditated in his heart and recalled Fu Bo's words.

Wait a minute......

"Comic school?" Wang Wenhong said police.

The comic school was originally started in the 11th district, and later, some institutions in the country also started the idea of a comic school.

At first, the semester of this kind of institution was only one year, in order to allow some cartoonists with a poor foundation to grow up quickly. Later, with the addition of many zero-based students, the time limit for learning has also developed from the initial one year to two or even three years, and some universities have also opened courses in comics.

The curriculum varies from institution to institution due to the number of years, but most schools have only one goal – to make their debut for students.

In fact, top cartoonists are rarely graduates of comics professional schools, just like the most first-rate authors, few come from Chinese departments.

The reason is that creation is a very complex matter, which not only tests a person's basic skills in the profession, but also tests other factors.

Good drawing skills can be acquired through learning, but it is difficult to teach them to compose wonderful stories.

"That's right, it's a little embarrassing to say, because our school is not very good in China. In Hongchuan City, it can only be ranked third or fourth. ”

Speaking of these, Fu Bo's expression was quite lost.

"Why don't you serialize the manga? I see your previous painting skills, it's very good. ”

"Painting skills...... It's useless to have painting skills. There are many excellent illustrators in China, but there are only a few top cartoonists. Comics and illustrations are just a word difference, but there is still a lot of difference between the two. And ......" Fu Bo gestured his finger slightly, "Qian - since I am a comics teacher, I must have studied comics." In my opinion, cartoonists are speculators, fantasizing about a work becoming popular and changing their lives. ”

"This cannot be said to be wrong, and many people, myself included, aspire to be successful speculators. So, before this work comes out, no one knows how long they will hold out. So, I can't risk my future. ”

Wang Wenhong agrees with Fu Bo's statement.

Ten years of cold windows no one asked, and in one fell swoop became famous all over the world.

That's what a cartoonist is.

A living example of this is Zuo Yuan.

Although he has now started serialization, except for the first issue, most of the other rankings are outside the top 10.

Such achievements simply cannot be published in a single book.

This also means that he can only barely survive on the manuscript fee, and he may be cut in half at any time.

In addition to paying the assistant's salary and daily expenses, there is no room left.

People often only see those glamorous signature cartoonists, but they are not representative of the whole cartoonist because they are already at the top of the industry.

"I watched your serialized "Shengwu Academy" on the forum, and the name is very good, so, if possible, I hope you can come to us to serialize it."

"Really?" Fu Bo looked happy, "Can it be serialized on "Comic Future"? ”

"It should work. If you polish it well, it can become the signature of "Comic Future". Wang Wenhong's tone was firm.

"But...... If I could become a professional cartoonist, my life would not be guaranteed. Fu Bo was a little worried.

"Probably not. As an editor, I still have an eye for people. Wang Wenhong persuaded, "I am very optimistic about the Holy Martial Academy. ”

"That's ......," Fu Bo hesitated.

"Believe me, I've been in this industry for six or seven years, and I've never seen people...... Ahem, it's okay to look at people. ”

As soon as he wanted to say that he hadn't missed someone, Wang Wenhong remembered Shen Xin and Chen Zijiao.

"That'...... Mr. Wang, which comic is you the editor in charge of? Fu Bo looked at Wang Wenhong.

Wang Wenhong was stunned.

To some extent, although his help to "Steel" is limited, he is still the editor in charge of "Steel".

It sounds irresponsible, but it's true.

A good editor is not about expressing his suggestions when the work is moving forward smoothly, but about helping the author when the work is in crisis and the author is in a dilemma.

However, "Steel Forge" and "Chess Soul" have never encountered this kind of thing, which makes him somewhat disappointed.

Therefore, hearing Fu Bo's words, Wang Wenhong coughed lightly and said another comic that ranked around tenth.

Fu Bo scratched his head in embarrassment, "That's ...... You shouldn't have much say in the magazine, so I'd better do it first. ”

“……”

Looked down upon.

Wang Wenhong suddenly became depressed.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you."

"Huh?" Fu Bo looked up at Wang Wenhong.

"Why did you choose to post your name online? And not the original? ”

"Mr. Wang, because of the cost...... If you draw the original manuscript, whether it is the cost of time or money, it will be very high, it is better to put the name out first and see the reader's preferences. If someone really likes my work, I might have the opportunity to serialize it...... Although it's a name, the popularity of "Holy Martial Academy" is not weak, and on some forums, it ranks in the top ten, and you also saw my name and came to me, right? ”

Wang Wenhong bowed slightly, but did not make a sound.
