Chapter 223: Carry Away, Next!
Just as she was about to go in, Yuzi suddenly hesitated, and she said hesitantly: "Boss...... Just now, the "Long Mankan" didn't accept our manuscripts, and this "Comics 321" is a big publishing house at the level of 2 million...... I'm a little weak-hearted. ”
Li Ze gave Yuzi a confident look: "What are you afraid of?" The editors of the big publishing houses are more professional and have a better vision. Our own quality is excellent, and there will definitely be Bole who will appreciate our comics. ”
Li Ze went in confidently.
And then......
The grizzled ones came out.
The editor of "Manga 321" commented: "Little shrimp? It's that brother and sister, right? I've reviewed their comics before, and the plot and drawing skills are lackluster. ”
"This time, the plot is pretty good, but the shortcomings in the painting skills are too obvious. There are a few storyboards that clearly lack a good understanding of perspective and line proportions, resulting in the collapse of the scene. ”
"Such a work, sorry, is still not enough to enter our "Manga 321". But I've also seen the progress of Xiao Xiami, so let's go back and work hard. ”
Li Ze was a little depressed, and he said the same thing: The plot is good, but the painting skills are not good.
But Li Ze thinks that if the story plot is good enough, it's not impossible to have a slightly poor painting skills, right?
Besides, from Li Ze's own point of view, the Tomie painted by the shrimp brothers and sisters does not have much of a problem in terms of painting.
I can't say how eye-catching it is, but it should be okay to get a passing grade.
After being deflated by "Long Look" and "Comic 321" in a row, Li Ze recognized a reality in his heart.
The million-level publishing house is not something that can be shaken by Xiaomi!
Li Ze had discussed it at a meeting before, saying that he would lock in small publishing houses with a circulation of 1 million, or even less than 500,000 copies.
Despite this, when it came time to choose to submit, greed and luck made Li Ze involuntarily choose million-level publishing houses such as "Long Look" and "Comic 321".
But now, after being ruthlessly rejected by two in a row, Li Ze can only say to Yuzi like this: "Well, let's check the smaller publishing houses." ”
……
In this world where the comic industry is super developed, various small publishing houses have also sprung up one after another.
These small publishing houses, which are weak, are fighting brutally among thousands of competitors.
Most of them don't survive more than two years.
But there are also some small publishing houses that have gained a firm foothold in the brutal battle and slowly increased their circulation to 10,000 or 100,000......
In the high-tech zone, there are also several small publishing houses.
Taking advantage of the rest of the time, Li Ze hurried to the nearest small publishing house non-stop.
And the result is:
"I'm sorry, we're a publisher for elementary school students, and your work is too bloody."
Carry it away, next!
"Well, the plot is a bit complicated, I didn't understand it."
Carry it away, next!
"Recently, we mainly collect horror comics of zombies and ghosts, and we don't accept others."
Carry it away, next!
"The storyboard is too messy, it's a newcomer, right? This one doesn't work. ”
Carry it away, next!
"The lines are too messy, and the perspective is not good, don't."
Carry it away, next!
"The lack of positive energy is not in line with the spirit of our party branch secretary."
Carry it away, next!
"It's late, the circulation is too low to hold on, and we're ready to close our doors!"
After a day of shopping, I went to five or six small publishing houses in a row, but they all failed!
Sitting on a bench on the side of the road, Li Ze said that his feet hurt and his head hurt.
It's obviously a very popular masterpiece on the earth, but it can't be sold in this world!
Li Ze couldn't help but doubt life.
Or is it not me who is wrong, but the whole world?
Yuzi also hung his head and said, "Boss...... I didn't expect the comics industry to be so difficult. ”
Li Ze comforted his employees and said: "Don't be discouraged, if you can't kill me, it will only make me stronger." Although we have lost today, we have tomorrow. ”
Li Ze still doesn't believe it!
Are all the people of this world blind?
Defeat today!
After going back, when he learned that the submission had hit a wall everywhere again, Zhou Yu sighed softly, and his decadent temperament was even more revealed.
And Zhou Mi also sighed: "Hey, aren't we really suitable for comics?" This time, our brother and sister really tried their best, but it was still the result of rejection...... Whining. ”
In Zhou Mi's eyes, there were dots of tears.
Seeing that the morale of the team was low, Li Ze could only solemnly give his promise: "The work determines everything, our works have a very high level, but there is a lack of Bole." Don't feel sorry for the blind editors, I promise I'll get the manuscript out. ”
"Otherwise, I'll broadcast the day...... Forget it, the five-gear electric fan is not very elegant, I will cut Cao Cao live! ”
The next day, 11 days before payday.
"Alright! Let's be full of energy today! Vow to sell "Tomie"! ”
Repeating yesterday's plan, Li Ze took Yuzi with the manuscript and went out early in the morning to several small publishing houses that were scheduled.
The first small publishing house, called "Manke World", is very domineering, but the scale is very small, it is completely like a private workshop, and the office environment looks like a small shrimp studio.
However, for the sake of this company's face with a circulation of 300,000, Li Ze still came.
The big man editor who picked his feet looked at the manuscript with a frown.
"Your comics are too rubbish, aren't they?" Picking the feet of the big Chinese out of amazing.
"The painting skills are completely at the level of interns, and the plot is so fascinating, I don't understand where the cool points are?"
"And these few photos, dense phobia, doesn't this drive the audience away?"
"I think it's better to forget it this time...... Hey, I'm not done yet! ”
Li Ze directly copied the manuscript and left, why are you still listening to this nonsense?
Walking out of the territory of "Manke World", Li Ze said disdainfully: "Such a garbage editor can even mix up with a circulation of 300,000, it's not me who is wrong, it's the whole world!" ”
Everything is difficult at the beginning, then difficult in the middle, and finally difficult at the end.
The beginning of the day was not opened well, and the result was not smooth all the way, and I visited more than a dozen small publishing houses during the day, and the encounter can only be described by a song.
"How do you and I repeat yesterday's story today......"
The sound of the waves is still the same, and the rejection is still the same.
Li Ze scolded his small publishing house for refusing to write here 10,000 times in his heart.
The masterpiece is right in front of you, but you are blind, no wonder you can only mix it up into a small publishing house!
And the younger brother Yuzi does not have a strong heart like Li Ze, and for two consecutive days, nearly 20 publishing houses, all of which were rejected, which seriously hit Yuzi's enthusiasm and confidence in work.
