156. Slam Dunk
Guo Pinyuan calmed down, needless to say, Chen Xiongye's painting work is very good, after the earlier "Chameleon" and this half-day assistant work honed, his painting skills have been perfected, although there are still a few shortcomings, but compared with the original submission of the Red Dragon Award, it has become more and more professional cartoonist style.
Like Chen Nan, his painting style is realistic, which is understandable in sports comics, but the problem is that Fantasy is not a strong magazine for sports comics. Although the strategy of content to be inclusive was set at the beginning of the publication, to be honest, sports comics are not popular on Fantasy, except for a "Football Kid Space Ji" that opened the mountain, the others can be said to be very few, and it is inevitable to be beheaded after a while, so it makes sense for the editor in charge of Chen Xiongye to be careful, if you want to say why, this category now has "Chess Soul".
A comic magazine has a maximum of 25 serials on it, the mainstream of Fantasy is still the bloody battle comics of the royal road, and then it is a funny comic, which is distributed to other youth love, and there are only a few places in sports competitions, just as the goal of the "Chess Soul" serialization was to get the first, Chen Xiongye's basketball comic wants to be serialized, and it must have the courage to kill "Chess Soul".
What are the facts?
After Guo Pinyuan hastily flipped through it, he began to look at it again, he raised his head and met a pair of eager and persistent eyes.
It's not just Chen Xiongye who is waiting for the editor's answer, Chen Nan is also looking at him.
"Have you read this cartoon Chen Nan?" Guo Pinyuan asked.
Looking at Chen Nan's reaction, she knew that she must have already known about it, maybe she still recommended Chen Xiongye to be the middleman who submitted to her, Guo Pinyuan asked, and Chen Nan simply admitted: "Well, I've seen it." ”
"What do you think?"
"Liang Yu and I both feel that with Ah Ye's strength, it's a pity to be an assistant here." Chen Nan has always been more direct, although what she said was indeed her heart, but she forgot that there were two other assistants here, and it was quite inappropriate to say this.
Guo Pinyuan was stunned: "Is Liang Yu too?" ”
"Hmm."
This sentence made Guo Pinyuan start to look at this cartoon again, Chen Nan was not stupid, he knew what Guo Pinyuan was thinking, and hurriedly said: "Liang Yu just made some suggestions at the beginning, and this cartoon was drawn by Ah Ye himself." ”
"That's really good," Guo Pinyuan looked at the original manuscript and commented: "To be honest, I haven't been in charge of sports authors in Fantasy, even if it's Liang Yu, I wasn't optimistic about her story at first, Fantasy had a law at the time, that is, newcomers were serialized for only 50 words, and this record was the first to break Teacher Heyue, followed by Gu Chengfeng, and then to Liang Yu and Chen Nan's "Chess Soul", it can be said that the really powerful author has to surpass his editor, Prove your worth with comics. ”
Guo Pinyuan continued with this opening sentence: "The carrier of comics is different from others, and there is a lot of content that can be contained in novels, especially business magazines like Fantasy that determine the order by popularity, the first word must firmly catch the reader's attention, and the beginning of this "Slam Dunk" does not depart from the framework of general campus comics, giving people a particularly bright feeling, but when I see the protagonist's last high leap, grabbing the basketball and preparing to slam dunk across the page, I have to say, My eyes were firmly drawn to it, and even those who don't know much about basketball felt the charm of basketball, and I think it was very successful in that regard. ”
"Then ......" From Guo Pinyuan's words just now, Chen Nan and Chen Xiongye both heard hope.
"But I'm sorry, I can't accept your manuscript." Guo Pinyuan suddenly took a turn, and one sentence immediately made the atmosphere in the studio change sharply.
The expression on Chen Xiongye's face was shocked, and Chen Nan also asked anxiously: "Why, isn't this work very exciting, Liang Yu and I both think it can be serialized in the magazine." ”
"I also agree with this," Guo Pinyuan also nodded, his reaction made Chen Nan and Chen Xiongye incomprehensible, seeing their inexplicable expressions, Guo Pinyuan sighed: "It seems that you haven't realized what the problem is?" ”
"What the hell is going on, doesn't Fantasy accept basketball comics?" Thinking of what the editor said in the past, Chen Xiongye felt a little disheartened.
"No, as I said before, sports are considered unpopular in Fantasy, but Fantasy magazine has another one, and that is interesting comics that are eligible for serialization. I think it's inappropriate for your approach, whether it's Fantasy or not, it's taboo to let another editor in charge review the manuscript when there is a responsible editor, but fortunately I am the one who got the manuscript, otherwise even if your work is excellent, it will not be hired. ”
"So what should I do, when I said I wanted to draw basketball, my editor didn't pay attention to my work at all......" Chen Xiongye was also a little emotional, and raised his voice and shouted.
"Yes, Editor Guo, you can help you think of a way." In this case, Chen Nan also pleaded.
"Mu ......" Guo Pinyuan thought about it with his cheeks, looked at Chen Xiongye and said: "In this way, you go and draw the next two words, you don't need such a detailed manuscript, you only need a detailed storyboard, and then take these to the editor in charge of your submission once." ”
"But."
Chen Xiongye obviously thought that this was just useless work, but Guo Pinyuan stretched out his hand to stop him: "I understand what you want to say, if you believe me, do what I say, if it doesn't work, I will listen to your request, and then submit the original manuscript for you?" ”
Chen Nan and Chen Xiongye couldn't help but look at each other, but at the moment, this method is obviously the best.
"I see, I'll go draw the remaining two storyboards, and I'll give you trouble." Now Chen Xiongye has completely calmed down, although it is useless to continue to submit articles to the original editor-in-charge, but since Guo Pinyuan promised that if he did not accept it, he would transfer it to the above, which can be regarded as giving him a hope.
However, to Chen's surprise, when he went to Fantasy Magazine a week later with the finished storyboard and the original manuscript in hand, this time the editor read his story carefully and agreed to his request, submitting the basketball comic to a new serialization meeting at the end of the month.
Half a month later, the comic called "Slam Dunk" officially began to be serialized on Fantasy, and it also unveiled the prelude to a legend.
