Chapter 14 Editorial Department
It's the second day since Weng Ruyu received Yuemi's original comics, and the deadline for the rookie cup has also ended - in fact, the reason why Yuemi personally sent the comics to the magazine is because the deadline arrived four days ago.
Of course, just like Lin Lin thought before, even if the deadline for submission has arrived, it doesn't mean that you can't submit again, in fact, as long as the original manuscript is sent to the editor in time before the official opening of the Rookie Cup, you are also eligible to participate in the competition, and many cartoonists who have made their debut have done this.
At this time, in the editorial office of "Shonen Weekly", basically all the review editors were looking at the comics on their desks that were about to participate in the rookie cup competition.
Although the introduction of the Rookie Cup said that the entries would be judged by a panel of judges composed of the editors-in-chief of several editorial groups of "Shonen Weekly" and the cartoonists who serialized in "Shonen Weekly", in fact, before that, all the entries must first be reviewed by the editor-in-charge and then select the relatively good works.
Generally speaking, if the editor-in-charge has a favorite work, he will contact the author in advance, discuss it together, revise the manuscript to the better, and then send it to the judges' table.
Hawkers,It's also a matter of course.,Neither the editor-in-chief nor those cartoonists who serialize in "Shonen Weekly" will have so much spare time to read the entries one by one, so they will only evaluate the works selected by the editor-in-charge, and then select ten candidates from them, and then select the gold, silver and bronze awards from these ten films.
As a well-known magazine like "Youth Weekly", the rookie cup event it holds still has a considerable gold content, so relatively speaking, the evaluation will be more strict than the general competition. For this reason, the Gold Award for the Rookie Cup is often overshadowed when the judges believe that none of the entries are good enough to win.
There are many cartoonists who have already debuted and submitted to the Rookie Cup to make up for the regret that they did not win the gold medal in the first place - and there is a good chance that they still can't make up for it.
"Hmm......" Liang Yong suddenly raised his head, rubbing his eyes and stretching his body, although he is the kind of editor in charge who likes to read comics, but working overtime on weekends for the sake of reviewing manuscripts still makes him a little unbearable, and those manuscripts on the table are really very few, most of them are the impulsive results of newcomers, so he muttered with some dissatisfaction, "There are more newcomers who submit for the competition this year than in previous years......
That is, he complained casually, but he got a response from others.
Sitting next to him was Weng Ruyu, she put down the half-seen cartoon in her hand and put it in the pile that was not approved, but she didn't complain like everyone else, but casually mentioned it in a good mood: "I'm quite optimistic about a newcomer this time." ”
"Huh? Deputy Editor-in-Chief Weng, you rarely say who you like, which newcomer can get your favor this time? ”
Liang Yongrao laughed with interest, and in addition to him, several other people also coaxed.
Weng Ruyu is a person, these editors also know it, he is very easy-going, and he is easy to talk to when he gets along with colleagues, but he is only very strict and harsh when he treats the author, not to mention greeting him with a smile, it is already good if he doesn't have a cold face, and even in private, he rarely praises his cartoonists.
People who don't know think that she will be a comic editor just to toss these comic book authors.,Only people who know her well know that she just takes such a work attitude so that she can see better comics.,As for the attitude towards Yuemi...... Usually faced with some uncles or secondary school teenagers and secondary two young people, Weng Ruyu naturally has no psychological burden, but Yuemi is different, she is a girl, and she is very cute!
Good looks have special treatment no matter what world they are in, although this will definitely not affect Weng Ruyu's judgment of comics.
So it's really rare to hear from Weng Ruyu's mouth that he likes which newcomer he likes, and there are many cartoonists who can be serialized in "Shonen Weekly" and have not won such an "honor".
"It's the author of this comic, whose pen name is Kawakawakawa." Facing the words of his colleagues, Weng Ruyu also smiled, and took out the document bag containing "Beginning" from the drawer, "Although it is my personal opinion, I think this comic can win the award at the Rookie Cup, and at least the silver award." ”
It's still a bit shocking to put these words here.
After all, this is the Weng Ruyu who rarely even praises him! A few people even pinched their arms to try to determine if they were dreaming, and the editorial department was silent for a while.
You must know that the gold medal of the "Youth Weekly" Rookie Cup has been byed for two consecutive issues, and if the current trend continues, maybe the gold medal of this issue will also be bye, after all, there has not been a work that everyone thinks is very good so far.
So Weng Ruyu's words now are tantamount to saying to them: I think the comic I have in hand may be able to win the first prize in this issue of the Rookie Cup!
Almost all of the editors in charge couldn't help but lean over to Weng Ruyu's side, and they were all a little curious about what the cartoon that could make Weng Ruyu praise so much. And one of the editors-in-charge, Wu Renyu, who was a little chubby, pushed his glasses and couldn't help but remind: "Deputy Editor-in-Chief Weng, don't forget that there are three people who submitted this time, Mr. Yashangcun, Mr. Tu Wu and Mr. Wei Hai, is what you said a little ......?"
Mr. Yasuemura and Mr. Tu Wu are both cartoonists who have serialized their works in "Juvenile Weekly", and Mr. Wei Hai is also a very potential cartoonist who has won the Silver Award of the Newcomer Cup.
Among them, in order to make up for the regret that he never won the gold medal of the Newcomer Cup, Mr. Tu Wu opened the vest twice and submitted his manuscript three times, and his work this time also made many editors look forward to it.
Although Weng Ruyu didn't care much about the fact that debuting cartoonists were eyeing the Rookie Cup award in the past, after all, if you win the gold or silver award, you can get the right to serialize comics in "Shonen Weekly", but this time she scolded her mother in her heart: You old things are shameless! Wouldn't it be a good chance that you would be able to serialize a manga in a magazine even if you didn't come to the competition? What are you robbing with newcomers!
Ahem, in fact, the three cartoonists mentioned above are not very old, and the eldest teacher is only in his thirties...... But anyway, the name of this event is the Rookie Cup, isn't it?
But although she was shouting MMP in her heart, Weng Ruyu was still amiable on the surface, she didn't say anything, just pulled out the cartoon drawn by Yuemi from the file bag and put it in front of these curious editors: "You will probably know after reading it." ”
Rather than describing it in words, Weng Ruyu prefers to let them feel it for themselves.
