There is no problem with the contract, after all, before Liang Yu, Fantasy had signed so many authors, so Liang Yu also hastily signed his name and joined one of them.

Guo Pinyuan took the contract between the two and glanced at it, and said: "Liang Yu, this signature of yours is really fantastic, you don't need to practice when you sign autographs for fans in the future, you can use it directly." ”

"Where."

Putting away the jokes, Guo Pinyuan changed the topic: "By the way, how are the two of you doing with the manuscript?" ”

"Chess Soul" No. 15 was officially launched on Fantasy, Liang Yu and Chen Nan have different division of labor, Chen Nan needs to submit the original manuscript of the first episode before the 10th, and Liang Yu is responsible for discussing the next story with the editor-in-charge, and deciding the plot direction after the 3rd episode.

The person who reacted first was Chen Nan, the original manuscript of the first sentence has been prepared since the Red Dragon Award was awarded, and she didn't come in vain for two weeks. In order to draw an excellent manuscript that fits the theme, Chen Nan went to buy Go books like Liang Yu, and also went to the Go Hall to take pictures.

Now that her original manuscript is nearing completion, there are only some outlets background to deal with, and this delay is only due to Chen Nan's repeated deletion and redrawing when she first drew the first draft.

Guo Pinyuan looked intently at the original manuscript handed over by Chen Nan and stared at him, yes, quite good, sure enough, his opinion is completely correct, the combination of these two people is by no means as simple as one plus one.

Chen Nan's delicate painting style and Liang Yu's story, what are you really looking forward to, how far can the chess soul go......

To be honest, there are not many editors in the editorial department who are optimistic about this newcomer, after all, it is common sense that the story of Go is not easy to draw, and among the newcomers, there is rarely a work that is popular, if you don't count the Heyue teacher who caught up with an era, the first work of the newcomer basically can't last half a year.

Therefore, it is also very likely that "Chess Soul" will gather popularity because of the novel theme at the beginning, but then it will quickly fall in popularity without a substantial breakthrough, and the voice of being cut in half is also very loud if it can't hold on, which is not something that Guo Pinyuan or Ye Chuan can change if they say that they support the author.

Let's get back to the topic, Guo Pinyuan thought to himself, such a heavy topic really shouldn't be said to two middle school students who are full of vitality and are looking forward to the future infinitely.

"The original manuscript is well done, have you already read Liang Yu?"

"Not yet." They drove straight to this side all the way, and there was no chance to read the manuscript on the way.

"Let's take a look." After Guo Pinyuan handed Chen Nan's original manuscript to Liang Yu, he turned his head to Chen Nan and said, "Chen Nan, how much time will it take you to draw a 16-page serial content now." ”

"It's going to take about 7 or 8 days."

"Well, if it's just storyboards and characters, blackouts, dots and backgrounds, it doesn't take much time."

"In that case, five days is basically enough."

"Well, that's no problem, I'll help you find a suitable assistant, forget the first word, you should be able to finish the rest of the work soon, just start with the second word."

"Okay." Chen Nan replied with some joy, if you hire an assistant cartoonist, you should be called a teacher, after all, she officially debuted as a contracted author of the magazine.

"The specific commission and working hours will be discussed at the time."

"yes, got it."

"Then ...... next" Guo Pinyuan stopped the conversation and looked at Liang Yu, who was looking at Chen Nan's original manuscript, "How about it?" ”

Liang Yu was stunned by this question, but she quickly realized that the editor was asking her what she thought of the manuscript.

"Ah, it's really great, it feels like the story in my impression is suddenly presented on paper, and even the details that I used to feel vague have become quite clear and intuitive." Liang Yu looked at the original manuscript and said: "Chen Nan's painting is really good, Zuo Wei is very beautiful, Ah Guang and Xiao Ming are also very cute, I am really moved." ”

Hearing Liang Yu's comment, Guo Pinyuan laughed, and Chen Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"To be honest, at the beginning, I just mentioned it in a casual chat with the seniors of the editorial department.,What is the nature of a middle school student group to match you.,I thought that even if you want to appear on the stage of Fantasy,,It will take at least a year.,But I didn't expect that in just two months.,You have won the Red Dragon Award.,Officially debuted.,Now there are serialized works.。 Recalling, the process was really bitter, Guo Pinyuan sighed and shook his head: "You will also work closely in the future and work hard." ”

"Yes."

"Hmm."

Liang Yu and Chen Nan both replied.

Seeing the two energetic looks, Guo Pinyuan also laughed: "That's what it looks like, then next, it's Liang Yu's turn, how is the latest story conceived?" ”

Liang Yu quickly put down the original manuscript on the table after he asked this, turned around and took out a stack of storyboards from the bag he brought with him.

Drawing a storyboard is indeed much simpler than the official manuscript, and the reason why I still feel struggling now is because Liang Yu himself is not very used to it. It takes a lot of painstaking time and effort to make comics, and I remember that some seniors in the industry once said that comics are made from the blood and tears of cartoonists.

In a sense, Chen Nan's decision to drop out of school is extremely correct, if she is not full-time but part-time, it will be extremely hard, and the works squeezed out of the gap in time will not meet the requirements of Chen Nan who is extremely strict with herself in any case.

In contrast, Liang Yu, who only thinks about the story, is much happier, but it is precisely because of this that she also truly realizes the naivety of her previous ideas, the idea that she just paints casually, and as long as she works hard, she will succeed, how ridiculous and unrealistic it is.

"Well, this work feels very interesting, Liang Yu, I've always wanted to ask this question before, do you know how to play Go?" Guo Pinyuan flipped through it hastily, because it was a storyboard, and all he saw was dialogue and content, so he watched it quickly.

"Just a little fur." This is not Liang Yu's modesty, but the truth.

"That's why you really dare to draw this series of comics."

"That, I have checked the information specifically, and the chess game is also left by a famous chess player in the past, it should be no problem, right?" was said like this, Liang Yu was also a little uneasy.

But Guo Pinyuan affirmed here: "That's right, that's it, don't worry too much about these hard things, the chess master won't come to see comics, just create according to the public's preferences." ”

"Got it."
