However, what Guo Pinyuan never expected was that the next development of events greatly surprised him.

On August 7th, a week before the August issue of StoryDiary magazine, a subsidiary of Bird Society, was released, the voting results of the script contest were settled.

That afternoon, Ye Chuan received a contact number from SD magazine in the editorial office.

"Ah, well, is that true? Okay, I see, I'll pass it on on my behalf, thank you. Ye Chuan quickly wrote a number on the paper with a note, and then turned his head to Guo Pinyuan, who had not realized the big deal at this time, and announced: "Old Guo, there is a call from SD, saying that the two works you sent over last time have won awards." ”

"Really?" The other editors on the side gathered around and asked curiously, "What award?" ”

"Hmph," Ye Chuan deliberately sold a pass, and waited until everyone was urging before announcing the answer: "The third place in the mobile phone of "Magic Mobile", the first place in "Go of Light", !" ”

"First place!"

"Hey, is this the rhythm of serialization, is it Go, is the first place actually Go?" The editors on the side were amazed.

Ye Chuan coughed: "Listen, the most rare thing is that the authors of these two works are the same person, and they have just graduated from junior high school and are planning to go to high school." ”

"Junior high school debut!"

"And is it that two films were selected at the same time, hey, hey, hey, this result is too surprising, isn't it, is there no problem with SD?"

"This is the champion voted by SD readers."

"I thought that a guy like Gu Chengfeng was already unique, and there was even another one here, the newcomer king of the script competition, according to the past practice, his work was to be submitted to the serialization conference." The deputy editor-in-chief who came out of the office who spoke, he held his eyes on the bridge of his nose and looked in the direction of Guo Pinyuan: "Old Guo, remember to ask the author to draw the first place in the script contest into a new serialized storyboard and submit it before the end of the month, you can't get used to him because he is a middle school student, you have to instill in him the professional ethics of a cartoonist now!" ”

Guo Pinyuan responded with sweat in his head: "Hah." ”

After the deputy editor-in-chief left, the surrounding whispered discussion: "Speaking of which, the deputy editor-in-chief is in charge of that guy, the king of 10,000-year-old manuscripts, and now he will become so neurotic." ”

"Hey, the deputy editor-in-chief is also very hard."

"By the way, Lao Guo, when did you find such a powerful newcomer?" Colleagues were quite curious to come over.

Guo Pinyuan also had an expression that couldn't calm down at all in his heart: "To be honest, I didn't expect her to be able to do this......"

"Could it be that the other contestants in this SD script contest are weaker?"

"No kidding, published in the magazine through the editor's review, and accepted the reader's vote, the two works won awards at the same time and won the crown, which is undoubtedly the strength of the author," said Liu Xiang, the leader of another group in the editorial room, and he is also the editor in charge of Gu Chengfeng: "To be honest, I'm looking forward to having such a newcomer serialized in Fantasy magazine, so Chengfeng will also feel a little pressure from behind, right?" ”

After speaking, Liu Xiang didn't wait for others to express any opinions, waved his hand and left.

"Do you feel 'a little' pressure, you really dare to say it, but Gu Chengfeng's recent limelight is really strong."

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to use a newcomer compared to him?"

"No, I think this may be a good opportunity, after all, there is competition to develop."

"What do you think, Lao Guo?"

The editors are talking nonsense.

Guo Pinyuan, who was asked like this, honestly said that he was also a mess, he said before that he didn't expect it to be not a humble word, but he really didn't expect Liang Yu to really be able to win the championship, although this result was undoubtedly a surprise, but many of the expected plans were completely disrupted.

"Hey, Guo Pinyuan, come out." Mr. Ye Chuan over there greeted him.

Guo Pinyuan glanced at the colleagues around him, said "rudeness" and followed Ye Chuan out, the two walked to the windowsill outside the toilet, and Ye Chuan came over with a cigarette.

"Lao Guo, I know what you're worried about now, but at this time, you should laugh frankly, after all, it is the newcomer you have excavated and cultivated that has won the award, and you are also honored as an editor." Ye Chuan lit a cigarette with a lighter, and then lent the fire to Guo Pinyuan and said.

"Be honest," Guo Pinyuan chewed on this sentence and shook his head: "To be honest, although I think Liang Yu is talented and may win the award, I never thought that she would be able to go to the end with the unpopular work "Go of Light" and win the championship in one fell swoop, is it my lack of judgment?" ”

"No, aren't you the one who has tapped into her potential?" Ye Chuan patted Guo Pinyuan on the shoulder: "The editor is responsible for guiding the author's path, if the editor himself is not confident, then how can the author trust his future to you?" And the so-called excellent cartoonist must be able to exceed the editor's expectations and do better than the editor's proposal, otherwise, if you can succeed by theory, then the editor will be able to draw the cartoon himself. ”

Guo Pinyuan knew that this was Ye Chuan encouraging himself, nodded his head, and talked about business: "Mr. Ye Chuan, will the work that won the first place in the script competition be submitted to the serial meeting for serial review as the deputy editor-in-chief said?" ”

"That's the way it's customary," Ye Chuan nodded: "Speaking of which, the script contest on SD is held for the purpose of selecting excellent original authors." ”

"In this way, who will the editorial department hand over this work to," Guo Pinyuan glanced up at the azure sky, and said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, those old authors who have become famous, right?" ”

Talking about this, Ye Chuan was rarely silent for a while, and he flicked the cigarette ash with his fingertips: "The specific decision will not be made until the serial meeting where the script comes out is approved, and you also know that the publication of a new serial will mean the end of an old work, which is a very prudent thing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to step on the corpse of a loser." So the new serialization must have a considerable level.,But not all the authors who came out of the script contest are suitable for adaptation into comics.,There have been examples of people who have won the championship in the past.,But can't adapt to the long comics.,Instead, use the second-place work.。 ”

Guo Pinyuan didn't say anything, quietly waiting for Ye Chuan to continue, as an old man who has been in the editorial department for 10 years, Ye Chuan has much more experience than Guo Pinyuan.

"When the storyboard of the serialization is OK, the editor-in-chief will appoint an associate editor-in-chief or one of our team leaders to contact those cartoonists who are in line with the style of the story and have no serialization or serialization schedules in hand, and negotiate with him to cooperate with the original work to draw the story. Of course, it is customary to use the old author here, because the old author has completed works in the past, the painting style is stable, and at the same time, they all have the professional ethics that a professional cartoonist should have, and the most important thing is that the old author knows to cherish his work, unlike the newcomer who comes by his own temperament, and the editor is easy to control. ”

"That's ......" Guo Pinyuan's voice was really much lower.

If Liang Yu's "Go of Light" cooperates with other cartoonists, then she may not have a chance with Chen Nan, even if the short story created by the two of them wins the Red Dragon Award - the editorial department will not let a middle school student be distracted by the serial publication of two works, Gu Chengfeng? That's a special case that is smaller than the probability of winning the lottery, and if you want to hope for that, it's better not to have that expectation in the first place.

Ye Chuan looked at Guo Pinyuan like this and laughed: "Old Guo, you are still too obsessed, well, but this matter is not without room for change." ”

"How?" Guo Pinyuan immediately turned his head.

"Because this newcomer was excavated by you, and the work was submitted by me, there is a good chance that I will be responsible for the final job of finding someone." Ye Chuan said.

"Mr. Ye Chuan, please!"

"Don't worry, it's useless for me to grind my lips about this, in the end, the editor-in-chief has to nod himself, otherwise, I can't stop the scene if I sponsor a little-known newcomer."

"But it's too late for the Red Dragon Award." The deputy editor-in-chief also said just now that the storyboard will be handed in at the serial conference before the end of the month, and it will be a long time after the Red Dragon Award selection results.

"Stupid!" Ye Chuan said impatiently: "Why don't you understand what I said." ”

"Ah, please Mr. Ye Chuan, please make it clear."

"In the final analysis, the cooperation between the original work and the comic artist is a matter of your will, and if the original work does not agree, then the editorial department cannot force it."

"Are you asking me to persuade the original author to refuse, but the other party is still a fifteen-year-old middle school student, so it's too difficult for a strong person, and it's easy to offend people."

"Listen to me!" Ye Chuan showed a scheming gaze: "Actually, you don't need to be so troublesome at all, you can reverse the cause and effect, you can first persuade the two newcomers to form a combination, and when asked, they said that they were formed a long time ago, and the goal is to debut on Fantasy at the same time, so it is not good for the editorial department to break them up." As a result, it is not so easy for the editorial department to decide to serialize, and the editor-in-chief will probably choose to wait and see, at this time, as long as the short stories they co-created can prove their strength at the Red Dragon Awards, then the rest of the editorial department has nothing to say. ”

Guo Pinyuan patted his head, looked at Ye Chuan, and couldn't help but sigh that Jiang was really old and spicy.
