hung up the phone, Guo Pinyuan's expression was satisfied.

"Hey, Lao Guo, what makes you happy like this?" Colleague Wu Xin asked him.

"It's done!" Guo Pinyuan said ignoring the colleague who asked him, and glanced in the direction of Ye Chuan, and the other party also responded with a smile that looked at you.

Guo Pinyuan put on his work bag and left in a hurry, and Liao Hui in the back asked him: "Old Guo, why are you leaving so early?" ”

"I talked to an author about things, I made an appointment to meet, I won't tell you, I'm leaving." Guo Pinyuan had wind under his feet, and he disappeared all of a sudden.

Liao Hui, who was in the same group as Guo Pinyuan, asked strangely: "Lao Guo fought so hard early in the morning, did he take the wrong medicine?" ”

"Heh, I've found a treasure." Ye Chuan shook his head with a smile and turned around to leave.

Leaving Liao Hui and Wu Xin looking at each other.

Guo Pinyuan and Liang Yu made an appointment to meet in a café not far from Liang Yu's house, Guo Pinyuan asked her where she met, she thought about it and answered here, after all, she is a family of two women, although she is an editor, but she can't just put it into the house.

Liang Yu waited for about half a cup of coffee, and Guo Pinyuan hurriedly came in from the door and pulled out the seat opposite Liang Yu.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"Ah, no."

"Give me a cup of mocha." After ordering, Guo Pinyuan quickly entered today's theme: "Remember the painter I talked to you about before?" ”

"Hmm." Liang Yu responded.

"She's sent the storyboard, take a look." Guo Pinyuan opened the work bag with his hands and feet, then took out a stack of copy paper from it and handed it to Liang Yu.

This is Liang Yu's original creation of "Pursuit", but the storyboard after entering the eye gives people a completely unfamiliar feeling, the story is still Liang Yu's story, but both in the courage of the storyboard, or the tension of the story has been greatly improved, but the most distinct is Liang Yu's two protagonists, one is the avenger who was taken away from his identity and suffered injustice, and the other is the real criminal who impostor and disguised himself as a good guy - it has been completely designed.

The other party gave a complete character design draft, each character has a close-up of the head from three angles of various expressions, and a full-body portrait of the standing painting.

"It's amazing...... "No one can appreciate the power of this painter better than Liang Yu, the original author, and it can be said that it completely fits Liang Yu's idea when he created the story. And if Liang Yu is asked to paint in person, she will be limited by her skills, and sometimes even if she thinks of it, she doesn't know how to express it.

But look at the two characters in front of you-

Male No. 1: The seaweed-like messy hair is draped down, revealing the left half of the godless eyes, the face is shaved with a sandy beard, the face is yellow and thin, the jacket on the body is dusty, and the jeans are also fried.

Male No. 2: Hair is quickly refreshing, the face is handsome, the slender lips are always smiling, a straight suit, expensive leather shoes, is the type that everyone loves. But with the development of the plot, when it came time to reveal his really ugly face, the originally handsome face instantly became demonized, forming a strong contrast with the original image identity of the character.

And Chen Nan's ability is not only reflected in the shape of the character design, what really makes Liang Yu feel eye-catching should be her portrayal of the fight scene, this is just a storyboard, and it can't be as detailed as the real original, so the characters under the storyboard only have general movements, and the background is also very brief, but Rao is so, Liang Yu has the feeling of watching a martial arts scene, and the exaggerated form of comics can do things that many film and television works can't do, making this chase scene extremely exciting.

This part was originally Liang Yu's weakness, and the paragraph that was directly skipped by editor Guo Pinyuan when he reviewed it has now become the paragraph that most attracts Liang Yu's attention in the whole story.

"That's amazing, is this really the story I drew?" Liang Yu was a little unconfident.

Looking at the girl sitting on the opposite side of the table looking at the manuscript intently, Guo Pinyuan leisurely sipped the coffee brought by the waiter and waited patiently.

It wasn't until a few minutes later, after Liang Yu carefully read the storyboard, that he asked, "How is it?" ”

"Great, I don't have any more revisions." Liang Yu said.

"So be it." Although Guo Pinyuan felt that it was a little bad for the original work to nod so easily, but considering that Liang Yu was still a pure newcomer in the comics, he was more relieved to hand over the storyboard to Chen Nan to do, and in terms of results, it was quite good. "I will urge Chen Nan to finish the manuscript as soon as possible, and then submit it to the Red Dragon Award."

"What is the Red Dragon Award?" Liang Yu suddenly heard this word and had some doubts.

"Fantasy magazine sets up some manga awards every year, among which the Golden Apple Award for new authors is the Golden Apple Award in the first half of the year, and the Red Dragon Award in August in the second half of the year, and if you win one of these two competitions, even if you officially debut as a manga artist, if you are popular, the comic can still be serialized."

Guo Pinyuan explained, put the storyboard returned by Liang Yu into the file bag, put it back in the work bag, and then changed the topic: "It's better to leave this matter to Chen Nan, he is full of enthusiasm this time, and then let's talk about the original stories that Liang Yu submitted to the SD script contest." ”

"Hmm." Liang Yu lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.

"All the entries have been submitted, and the 20 selected works will be published in the monthly magazine StoryDiary on the 14th, and readers will vote for popularity, and the results will be published in SD next month."

"Hey, isn't it Fantasy magazine?" This sentence exposes that Liang Yu's knowledge of comics is really quite limited.

Guo Pinyuan had to explain further here: "The monthly StoryDiary, as well as the weekly Fantasy book, and the shoujo manga Margaerylyn, like the weekly Fantasy, are all magazines published under the White Bird Society. In the final analysis, it is a sister magazine, and sometimes due to the adjustment needs of the magazine, the content of the basic magazine is linked or republished. ”

Liang Yu nodded and listened to Guo Pinyuan continue.

"For example, if you find an author who is suitable for adapting a comic into a serialized manga, you will be brought to Fantasy. But having said that,SD is still a monthly magazine with illustrations for normal novels.,Most of the contributors are also aiming at SD.,Like you, who wrote content in the form of comics at the beginning.,It's rare.,If you get the gold award back,,Properly you can be serialized on Fantasy.,Hahaha......" Guo Pinyuan choked after laughing for a while, cold sweat flowed down, wait, serialization?

Serialization is of course a good thing, and this is also the common goal of cartoonists, but if Liang Yu gets serialized at this time, the situation will be a little bad.

First of all, if the winning work of the SD script contest is adapted into a comic, then there is no doubt that Liang Yu is the original work, but the person who designated the painting is not Guo Pinyuan's words, even if he tries his best to recommend Chen Nan, but Chen Nan is just a middle school student who has repeatedly failed and has no actual results in the eyes of the editors, and there are many veterans who are more senior than him and have not been serialized in Fantasy for many years, but they will all come to compete for this position. In fact, the gimmick of the script contest was originally used to find original authors for cartoonists who couldn't write good stories.

But putting aside Guo Pinyuan's selfishness of wanting to match two potential middle school students, once the story wins the award, then the only one that can be adapted into a comic is the award-winning work, Guo Pinyuan thinks that "Magic Mobile Phone", "Unwanted Things" is good, but if you really want to get the jackpot, then it can only be the book "Go of Light" - However, Go is difficult to adapt into a comic, which is the common opinion of him and Ye Chuan.

"Editor Guo, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Guo Pinyuan's solemn face, Liang Yu asked in wonder.

"Ah, no, nothing." Guo Pinyuan hurriedly waved his hand.

Forget it, this is no longer something he can control, it's useless to think about it, the most important thing now is to get the thing in front of him.

"Liang Yu, do you have any reservations for the next time until the SD results come out?"

"I took a painting class."

"What about the others?"

Liang Yu shook his head.

"Can you think of a story that can be serialized for a long time?"

"Long ...... Serial? Liang Yu was stunned for a moment: "Does it mean that I can serialize comics?" ”

"No, that's not what it meant." Guo Pinyuan smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that the young man was still too anxious. "I mean you start trying to break free from the shackles of short stories and write stories in the form of long-form serializations."

“？” Liang Yu was still confused.

Guo Pinyuan patiently explained: "Like yours, "Pursuit" is a standard short story, both protagonists are dead, so naturally there is no next word, "Magic Phone" and "Things Not Needed" are the same, there is nothing that can be used as a long-form serial extension and expansion. ”

"So how about Go of Light."

"Go, well, Go is good, but ......" It's a pity that the adaptation of comics is too niche, Guo Pinyuan did not continue on this topic, but jumped from this paragraph: "In short, you try to create a story with an expandable world view." ”

"Oh."

"You only need to write the content of the first three words, and draw a mirror for me."

"Do you want me to paint?" Liang Yu pointed to his nose and asked cutely.

Guo Pinyuan was amused by her words: "We are comic magazines, and Liang Yu, your goal is to be a cartoonist who can draw, and a cartoonist can't draw a storyboard." ”

"Understood." Liang Yu replied sneeringly.
