"Mr. Ye Chuan, please help me take a look at this." In the editorial department of Juvenile Fantasy, Guo Pinyuan put a few photocopied manuscript papers in front of Ye Chuan.

"Hey, what's wrong, I just got to work......" said so, but Ye Chuan still took the photocopies and flipped them over: "What, is this the script, ah, by the way, is the original work of the newcomer you are responsible for, I'll take a look." ”

Guo Pinyuan stood by Ye Chuan's side and waited patiently for him to finish reading.

"Hmm," Ye Chuan opened his mouth after reading a few lines, wanting to say something, but he couldn't help it, and instead read it more seriously, and when he saw the end of the last word, he reset the manuscript and read it all over again.

"How?" After Guo Pinyuan saw Ye Chuan put down the manuscript paper, he couldn't help asking.

Ye Chuan pondered the language and said: "This original author is undoubtedly very talented, and the problems exposed in the last work have been revised to a great extent this time, and the content of this time does cater to the theme of our Fantasy about the victory of hard work and friendship." ”

Guo Pinyuan was not deceived by this series of praise, he knew that the real problem was still hidden behind.

Ye Chuan picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, his face was a little dull: "To be honest, the story is impeccable, better than the previous ones, but...... It's written about Go, and this one is a bit too much. ”

"It's too much." Guo Pinyuan also echoed.

"There's really no way about this, judging from the completion and design of the content of this story, it fully shows her intentions, but how are we going to tell the author, your story is very good, but the audience for this thing is too small, none of the hundred readers know Go, and no one buys it in our magazine, so I'm sorry - if we tell her like this, will she get angry and leave?"

"I told her last time that there is no limit to the theme of our Fantasy, but I didn't expect her to really come out with such an unpopular thing." Guo Pinyuan smiled bitterly.

"Actually, it's not that no one draws.,Baseball,Football,Table tennis,Gambling,Chess,These are serialized in the juvenile weekly Saturday.,But when it comes to popularity,,It's always been a tepid type.,We also used to have a very popular football comic called "Football Kid Space Ji" on Fantasy, which was popular for a while with exaggerated nirvana, and even drove football fever, but after this theme became popular, its nirvana setting was learned and used by other similar comics. This comic was eventually moved to a separate volume for serialization.,Now the author still insists on drawing.,But the popularity is not as good as before.。 Guo Pinyuan commented.

"Soccer kid, it's really nostalgic."

"That's right, but "Soccer Kid" is popular for a reason. First, football itself is a popular sport, and the World Cup, which is held every four years, is an international sport comparable to the Olympic Games, and secondly, thanks to the wisdom of Mr. Yoichi, at the age of elementary and junior high school students, which is the age of curiosity, he created all kinds of characteristic and exaggerated nirvana, which have prototypes in reality, that is, they can cause discussion and even imitation. Although it is also interesting to read the manga alone, it is even more fascinating to have a few like-minded people to discuss it, which is why "Soccer Kid" is so popular. But look at this script," Ye Chuan pointed to Liang Yu's original script with his finger and said: "In the world of Go, you can't use any eye-catching nirvana, that's too discordant, you can only follow the rules to divide the winner and loser, but if it is drawn in the form of a comic, it is two people who put chess pieces on the chessboard to each other, to be honest, I don't know anything about Go, even if I take a game of peerless chess in front of me, I don't think there is anything interesting, it is not as good as football and baseball, when shooting or hitting the ball, First of all, there is an impact on the visuals, which can quickly infect the audience. ”

"In terms of graphic sense, poor expressiveness has always been the weakness of this type of work."

"That's right, and how to put it, the first impression of Go is that it's too complicated, too difficult, and people have a natural urge to resist, and although there are works that are stuffed with a lot of explanatory text, I still insist on comics as a medium, and the dialogue must be concise and smooth to be more popular."

"Yes, a lot of readers get bored and skip a large paragraph of text after seeing it."

"In this way, if you want to tell a good story, it all depends on the author's storytelling skills, in contrast, the genre that should be the first in the comics has become a secondary thing, but instead," Ye Chuan looked at the manuscript paper and shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This story is really interesting, not funny, not funny, but the story and the characters themselves are fascinating, so that people can't consciously be attracted by the story itself at a glance - in fact, I want to say, since there is this level, Wouldn't it be just right to write about it on a popular topic, why do you have to pick something as niche as Go? ”

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Guo Pinyuan said that he wrote about the unpopular subject that he talked to Liang Yu about that day.

Ye Chuan touched his chin after hearing this: "I can't say that what you said is wrong, in fact, compared to the popular comics serialized in the weekly magazine, the sword can indeed get more votes from neutral readers, but this author definitely has the qualifications to be as famous cartoonists, and she has this talent-Lao Guo, I remember you said that she is only a middle school student now, right?" ”

"Yes."

"It's true that the comic industry is like this, talented people are of all ages, and they will show up as long as there is the right time," Ye Chuan nodded and continued to ask: "I remember you also said that you planned to make a combination of two middle school students, how did you go?" ”

"Oh, I've already told the original author about this, and she's still thinking about it, so I didn't contact the artist first."

"I understand," Ye Chuan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and stood up from his chair: "I will take this manuscript to the editor-in-chief and ask for the editor-in-chief's opinion." ”

"Huh, editor-in-chief?"

"Even if he says no, I'll take this and vote it in SD's script contest, listen up, Lao Guo."

"Mr. Ye Chuan?"

"This little girl is very talented, we must keep her in Fantasy, we have her eyes on her future, understand?"

"Clear, understood." Guo Pinyuan was obviously shocked that Ye Chuan, who had always been sophisticated, would say that he must leave so-and-so, he hesitated for a moment and asked: "If the editor-in-chief responds well, will this cartoon be allowed to be drawn into serialization?" ”

"Hmm......" Mr. Ye Chuan held his chin and thought for a while: "The other party is still a middle school student, don't you have to be in such a hurry to serialize, won't you delay your studies?" ”

Guo Pinyuanxin said that his painter has always been full of enthusiasm and wants to become a profession, but it is better not to say this kind of thing here.

"Anyway, leave this script with me for now, I'll show it to the editor-in-chief as soon as possible, and you can wait for my news."

"Understood, please."
