Chapter 1140: Newcomer and Image

"Editor-in-chief, what do you think...... How about these new works? ”

At the serialization meeting of the editorial department of "Comic Future", Hu Ke, as the team leader, tapped the table twice and looked at Yu Chen.

"Huh?"

Yu Chen came out of his trance and woke up.

Participating in the "Something to Say Tonight" was the most wrong decision he made years ago, and now that he thinks about it, he is still secretly annoyed.

At that time, fortunately, Shen Xin went to District 11, otherwise, let Shen Xin go to a cartoonist from a foreign society...... Yu Chen had to be angry.

Yu Chen retracted his attention and his gaze fell on the six comics in front of him.

Of these 6 books, 4 are name books and 2 are drawn manuscripts.

There is an unwritten rule in the comic book world, and Comic Future is not the only magazine that follows this rule - newcomers must submit their original manuscripts.

For manga artists who already have experience in serialization, even if they only submit a name, the editor can evaluate the overall quality of the manga, but not for newcomers. Because they have no experience in serialization, and even the editors are not sure about the newcomer's artwork, and if they don't submit the original manuscript, the editor won't risk submitting the newcomer's artwork to the serialization meeting.

2 manuscripts, which means that two newcomers submit.

Of the 6 comics, 2 were eliminated, and there are 4 left, one of which is a new author, but Yu Chen doesn't want to have them all, and the remaining 4 do have something to discuss.

"What's your opinion?" Yu Chen glanced at four comics, one in love, one in evil, one in funny comics, and one in Xianxia, which are rich in themes.

The comics on the theme of Xianxia are mostly collected in magazines like "Leap", after all, the style of that magazine is tough, which is very suitable for the theme of Xianxia.

However, this Xianxia is also inconsistent with the style of "Leap", and Yu Chen is also a little hesitant.

If the author of this comic is a cartoonist who has made achievements before, he may have made a decision directly, but its author is a newcomer, which makes people very entangled.

"The advantages and disadvantages of these four comics are very obvious, but love, evil ways and funny are themes that have a good response...... From this point of view, I prefer these three books. As for the Xianxia...... It's not right.,It's not like Xianxia.,The painting style is not brilliant.,What's more,Our magazine rarely serializes Xianxia comics, right? Jia Hui scratched his head.

"You can't say that...... The other three manga also fall into the category of serialized and non-serialized. Serialized, limited to our magazine; Without serialization, our magazine doesn't lose much. In that case, we might as well try other types of comics. Maybe it will work wonders. Hook objected.

It's a submission from his editors, and he has to help him speak.

"Now in this situation, it's good to be stable, but what if the effect is not good after serialization, what do you say?" Jia Hui continued to ask rhetorically.

"What to do? If it really doesn't work, cut it in half. We're going to cut the comics in half every time, don't say you're reluctant. Hook stared at Jia Hui.

"I'm afraid, it's you who can't be reluctant, right? It's not my author, why am I reluctant? Jia Hui pursed his lips.

Hook tapped the table, and was about to retort, when Li Junwen raised his hand and said, "I'll say a few words." The subject matter is put aside for the time being, but it is undeniable that the newcomer's work is indeed worth being cautious about. ”

"But magazines need fresh blood, and if it keeps going like this, and if the old cartoonists are left in their seats, the magazine will go downhill sooner or later, right, editor-in-chief?"

This time, Hook directly threw his gaze at Yu Chen.

"Newcomer......" Yu Chen leaned back in his chair and shook it twice, "Indeed...... Newcomers are also important. ”

Hook was overjoyed, "This is the cartoonist in Xiaoli's hands, she still has a hand at seeing people." ”

"Uh, don't panic......" Yu Chen leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling, "Rookie author...... What about his previous short stories? ”

"Short story first. If it weren't for the first place, Xiaoli wouldn't have submitted it. Hook patiently explained.

"You know what I'm thinking?" Yu Chen asked rhetorically.

"Huh?"

"In the latest issue of "Something to Say Tonight", Mr. Luo Zheng and Mr. Ye both participated, and everyone knows the result. I wonder if we should find a TV station to run it again...... Although the two teachers are supporting roles in this episode of the show, it only took a year for Wei Mao to go from being slightly famous to being well-known in the industry. With one or two people in this way, the magazine is completely stress-free. ”

"Ahem...... Editor-in-chief, I think that Wei Mao can be praised, and his image is also very important. Cartoonists make a living from their work, and many people do this profession in part because they don't have to deal with the outside world too much. If you have to deal with the media after becoming a cartoonist, then ...... Aren't they too pathetic? Hook asked rhetorically.

Cartoonists rarely have time to rest, and sometimes they get busy, even through the night.

Rest is affected, and meals are uncertain, resulting in a poor image of many cartoonists.

"I know that." Yu Chen was slightly embarrassed and rubbed his temples, "By the way, how is the image of this newcomer?" ”

"Mr. Yu, don't think about the image. How many cartoonists are there who have a good image of Comic Future? There's no need to be so demanding of newcomers, right? It's all sideways, we still have to look at the works. The editor-in-chief of the monthly magazine Comic Future explains.

“……”

Han Ye is too introverted, Luo Zheng is heavy metal, Ye Hexu is short, and the only person with a good image is Shen Xin, but Shen Xin doesn't need to improve his fame by doing shows.

Yu Chen regretted in his heart, but he could only give up. I have to say that using a method similar to "star-making" to select newcomers is indeed the fastest way to increase the popularity of newcomers, but unfortunately "Comic Future" cannot be implemented at present.

However, those who think of this idea are also looking for a draw type, so what stars do they have nothing to make? It made him want to take a shortcut.

"If it's these four books......" Yu Chen rubbed his face, "Let's vote together, shall we?" ”

……

Wu Xiaoli was already restless when the serial meeting was held.

After Xi Muhan and Lu Ning's new work ended, she only had a comic book left in her hand, and it wasn't until she met this newcomer that she felt that the work had some freshness. Moreover, although the "Xianxia" theme is rare in "Comic Future", it is not impossible, as long as the story is interesting, it mainly depends on how the plot is handled.

The five people in the glass compartment stood up, and Wu Xiaoli's gaze immediately shifted.

Hook was the first to push open the door, holding a stack of envelopes containing manuscripts.

"Xiaoli...... Mr. Chi's new book was approved and serialized five weeks later. New Talents, New Themes...... In short, you have to work hard. ”

"Yes! Got it. Wu Xiaoli stood up and took the envelope, and the tension in her heart eased.
