As soon as Tong Cheng heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears.

Before, Guo Pinyuan desperately resigned and insisted on letting the two newcomers serialize the matter spread throughout the editorial department, and even people related to the headquarters of the White Bird Society heard about it. This is not a joke, even if Liang Yu and Chen Nan's original work finally passed the selection of the teachers and was serialized, but Guo Pinyuan's resignation to threaten the editor-in-chief is a big stain on his editor's career, even if the matter is not resolved in the end, it also gives a very bad impression to the leaders above.

This is really gambling on your career.

Tong Cheng's psychology is very conflicted, on the one hand, he doesn't want to see his colleagues take the blame and resign, on the other hand, he also hopes to promote the cooperation between Liang Yu and Yuan Yu, it is really a dilemma, here I can only listen to the opinions of the teachers first.

But unexpectedly, the great guy in Toriyama's mouth turned out to be not Liang Yu and Chen Nan's work "Pursuit", but a comic called "Maple".

The maple here is not a description of maple leaves, and it has nothing to do with autumn, but the name of the protagonist.

What is surprising is that this story is not a mainstream fantasy adventure story on Fantasy magazine, but a story with basketball as the main line.

It's not that Tong Cheng doesn't know this story, but when he was selected for this work, the opinion in the editorial department was that since there is already Go, then it's not bad to have a basketball mentality, after all, although basketball is not as good as football, but at least it is much more popular than Go, especially in some parts of Southeast Asia, it is still quite popular, and it is not that no one in the comic industry draws this theme, but few people can draw it brilliantly.

It was only through Mr. Toriyama's recommendation that the other judges became curious about the original manuscript.

The main line of the story is simple and bright, in the basketball captain of Peking High School, Liu Feng, inadvertently broke through the bad Akagi want to make love with his girlfriend, causing the two to break up, and the angry Akagi vented his anger on Liuchuan's body, and then the two gathered their respective teammates to start a basketball duel, and finally the protagonist smashed the dunk after passing the people with gorgeous skills, so that the opponent admitted defeat and won the game convincingly.

The story itself doesn't have many twists and turns, but the drawing skills and rhythm are very good for newcomers, so everyone in the editorial department submitted this work, but I didn't expect Toriyama to give such a high evaluation.

Not only Mr. Toriyama, but also several other teachers praised it in unison: "The young man is very good, and he will definitely become a great man in the future." ”

Mr. Gui reviewed it for the last time, and after he stared at it, he said: "To be honest, the painter still needs to be sharpened, but it's not easy to be a newcomer, especially his storyboard is very good, and when watching his story, there is a general feeling of reading animation, although it is only a short moment, but if he can carry forward this characteristic in the future, I think he will definitely be able to shine on Fantasy - Chen Xiongye, I wrote down the name." ”

As the minutes ticked by, the judging meeting for the Red Dragon Award short story continued, but the editors who were sitting outside waiting for news were a little absent-minded, especially when they knew that the results of the Red Dragon Award would affect the career of a colleague, and the tension could not be shaken off no matter what.

Of course, the most nervous person at the moment is Guo Pinyuan.

"Relax, if even the editor is like this, what about the author?" Ye Chuan, who was sitting next to him, said.

"Hmm." Guo Pinyuan responded.

But although he said so, in fact, his face did not relax at all, holding the pen in his hand, but did not write a word, and this situation has lasted for more than half an hour.

Guo Pinyuan himself knows very well that as an editor, if he doesn't cheer up at this time, he can't set an example, because the author must be eagerly looking forward to the news, and the kind of anxiety with anticipation and anxiety is the same as he is now. But Guo Pinyuan didn't dare to call before the results came out, and he didn't even talk to Liang Yu and Chen Nan about what happened in the editorial department before.

In his opinion, it was his responsibility as the editor-in-charge, not because he had any special feelings for Liang Yu and Chen Nan, but because he firmly believed that those two girls were talented, and those who worked hard would be rewarded.

"You must win......" Guo Pinyuan clenched his fists.

In the conference room, the audit work has gradually come to an end, and the topics discussed by the teachers have also been drawn from the topics selected today to the trivial matters in life, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Gui recently left his job again and went to a concert of some idol group, my editor Xiaotong said so."

"Hey, I'm taking materials, so doesn't Mr. Araki have a habit of buying women's magazines?"

"Yes, I bought it, whether it was men's or women's clothing, as well as hair magazines."

"Mr. Araki is very serious in some strange places as always, hahahaha."

"Speaking of which, what do you use as a reference when Mr. Heyue usually creates?"

“……”

The topic suddenly broke off when it came to Teacher Heyue, and everyone looked up at him in confusion, only to hear a few small voices squeezed out of Teacher Heyue's mouth: "Gu ...... Peaking. ”

"What?"

"Why is he suddenly mentioned here?"

Teacher Heyue ignored the words of the others, and his expression staring at the original manuscript became extremely shaken, and he muttered to himself: "Another Gu Chengfeng......"

"Hey, Teacher Heyue, are you alright?" Duan Chang, who was closest to Heyue, leaned over to see his situation, but was grabbed by the other party's arm and asked loudly: "Is this really a work drawn by a newcomer?" ”

Only then did the teachers and editors realize the problem, it must be something unusual about the manuscript that made Teacher Kazuki so out of shape. But the original basketball manuscript recommended by Mr. Toriyama before, and Yue didn't have such a big reaction, and he kept chanting Gu Chengfeng's name in his mouth, for this newcomer who rose in Fantasy magazine, several cartoonist authors and editors are very clear, and now his name appears here, which just shows the weight of this original work.

Tong Cheng leaned his head over and glanced at it, and sighed in his heart, it was the work of Liang Yu and Chen Nan - "Pursuit".

From the perspective of the editor's professional perspective, this manuscript is undoubtedly outstanding among the contestants, but everyone's sensibility is different, and the criteria for thinking interesting and uninteresting will also deviate, and these teachers present will more or less have some of their own preferences, so the result cannot be said prematurely, but what Tong Cheng never expected was that Mr. Heyue, as a judge, would give such an exaggerated reaction.

This became a chain, allowing Liang Yu and Chen Nan's works to be dramatically presented in front of the other three judges.
