Chapter 1009: Surprised
Kosuke Tachikawa pursed his lips, and there was a sour taste in his heart.
However, now is not the time to think about this kind of thing, he still has a name to hand over to China Kotani.
Kotani took the original manuscript handed by Yusuke Hosaka and quickly flipped through it, while Yusuke Hosaka opened the magazine that Senmei Kotani had brought.
Noticing that Chimei Kotani had repacked the manuscript into the envelope, Kosuke Tachikawa immediately picked up his name and got up and walked to Kotani's side.
"Mr. Kotani, may you please help me see my new name?"
"Huh?" China Kotani was slightly surprised, "Let me see?" ”
"Yes." Kosuke Tachikawa nodded.
"However, I remember that Tachikawa-sensei seems to have his own editor." China Kotani looked up.
As long as the contract is in, the cartoonist will have a fixed editor, unless there is a change.
Tachikawa is not a manga artist of Kotani Senna, so when he received Tachikawa's name, he was a little stunned.
"I know...... I want to improve my level, and if I have the opportunity to serialize, but I accidentally squander it, I guess I'll be annoyed to death. Kosuke Tachikawa looked embarrassed.
"That's ......" Kotani Chiren bowed his head and pulled out the name in the folder.
Many manga artists are very sloppy, and this one is no exception, the storyboard is more regular, and the dialogue is relatively clear, and Kotani reads it without any pressure.
This is a science fiction comic.
Science fiction is divided into soft science fiction and hard science fiction, and hard science fiction often involves a part of the theory, most of which is the creator based on the existing theory and knowledge, put forward some guesses, and design the plot according to this guess.
Soft sci-fi abounds, and the most common is to use some futuristic scenes as a backdrop, and of course, the apocalypse also falls into this category.
Tachikawa's theme is soft science fiction, set in the era of ruins, technology has regressed, most people can only use cold weapons, and after the war, many species have mutated, whether it is humans, animals, or even plants, people can only survive in this environment, and they can only be enemies of these creatures and even mutated humans......
This kind of story is not uncommon in "Shonen Leap", if you want to come up with a result, you have to spend a lot of hard work, but it is very difficult to create, and the average author can't do it.
Obviously, Kosuke Tachikawa's name has not yet reached this level.
"This name ......"
"How?" Kosuke Tachikawa asked urgently.
Kotani Sena shook his head, "It's not good, the routine is too serious." Short comics should reflect the selling point of the work and make readers willing to continue reading. I have seen this kind of theme and routine no less than 10 times a year...... There is nothing new, the adventure I want to express is not expressed, and the storyboard is not smooth. In short, not very optimistic. ”
Kosuke Tachikawa's face turned pale, "Mr. Kotani, you mean that this manga is not qualified for serialization. ”
"Mr. Tachikawa, do you think it's more difficult to create a manga that is being serialized, or is it difficult to create a name that is submitted to serialization?" China Kotani did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
Kosuke Tachikawa was dumbfounded, for him...... It's hard.
Because of the difficulty, his comics will be cut in half, and because of the difficulty, after the cut in half, he will not be able to get serialized for a long time.
"Both are difficult, but the difficulties are different." China Kotani explains, "After serialization, the manga usually doesn't end within 10 episodes, which is the protection period of the work, and the author and editor can modify or correct the work during this time, and the error tolerance rate is higher, but it is difficult to get a result, and it is even more difficult to sell a work." As for the draft, you have to compete with other serialized manga artists, and you don't know who your opponent is. Because the number of serialization is limited, sometimes, even if the quality of the work is very high, as long as it encounters a higher quality work, then, it will still lose the opportunity to serialize - the number of serialization places is limited, and the competition is very high. ”
"If I had to choose which one was harder, I would choose to go through. Because only when the manuscript is approved, can it be possible to succeed later. So, Mr. Tachikawa, you have to come up with a manga that is more exciting than serialization. Why don't you re-polish the name? There is no way to pass a serialized meeting with a name of this quality. ”
Yusuke Hosaka's eyes fell on the magazine, but his ears listened to the conversation between the two people, and his heart was full of emotion.
If it weren't for Yoshito Yamagishi, it would have been difficult for him to serialize it in "Shonen Leap", even more difficult than Kosuke Tachikawa.
Yusuke Hosaka was cranky, subconsciously turned a page, his eyes swept over the magazine, and he involuntarily let out a "huh".
Tachikawa and Kotani then moved their eyes to Hosaka, only to see him look surprised.
"What's wrong?" Tachikawa said curiously.
"I didn't ...... IT'S SLAM DUNK. This spread is too powerful, right? Yusuke Hosaka looked up at the two, "I'...... If it weren't for seeing this spread, it would be really hard to imagine that Mr. Shen would be able to draw it. ”
China Kotani had read the manga in advance and was clear about the plot of "SLAM DUNK", so he was not surprised to see the surprise on Hosaka's face.
Kosuke Tachikawa looked confused and puzzled: "What spread?" ”
Yusuke Hosaka got up, took "Shonen Leap", came to the two of them, and spread it out on the coffee table.
This is a full-court picture, Miyanari dribbles, facing the defense of the Hainan team, observing the situation.
In front of him were Qing Tian and another team member, Gao Sha stretched out his finger and commanded the other teammates, while Makishiichi was keeping an eye on Shan Jing Shou.
Since you are looking forward from the back of Miyanari, even the spectator seats behind you and the top of the stadium are drawn. From this angle, the view of the picture is huge.
Each character has a different look, and you can see their hearts from their faces, and whether it is Gong Cheng who dribbles the ball or a defensive player, everyone is very natural.
Whether it's a spread, or a composition, it's just like a photo...... No, it's better than a photo, because the sense of speed it embodies is more obvious than the photo.
Kosuke Tachikawa saw this spread and didn't say a word for a long time.
Even if he were asked to copy a drawing of this quality, it would take him several hours, and it was basically impossible for him to create it alone.
"It's hard to see spreads of this quality now."
Yusuke Hosaka, who has been an assistant for more than twenty years, is well aware of the difficulty of this spread.
And that's not all, but there's an even more exciting spread below. Let's put it this way, and this statement will confirm SLAM DUNK's place in Shonen Leap...... That's my judgment. "China Kotani is full of confidence.
"Wait a minute...... You mean, there's a spread at the end? Yusuke Hosaka was surprised.
China Kotani nodded.
Hosaka's face changed slightly, and he was about to quickly flip to the back, but was grabbed by Kosuke Tachikawa.
"Wait a minute...... Looking at this from the beginning, okay? Hosaka-sensei? Kosuke Tachikawa hurriedly asked.
Yusuke Hosaka looked puzzled, didn't Kosuke Tachikawa hate "SLAM DUNK"? Has it changed now?
He couldn't figure it out, but he still listened to Kosuke Tachikawa's words and turned to the front page of this sentence.
