My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 1140: Newcomers and images
"Editor in chief, what do you think of these new works?"
During the serialization meeting of the editorial department, Hook, who was the team leader, tapped the table twice and looked at Yu Chen. 【-Hand-written text novels】
"what?"
Yu Chen woke up from a trance.
Participating in that **** talk tonight was the worst decision he made a year ago. Thinking about it now, he is still secretly annoyed.
At that time, it was fortunate that Shen Xin had gone to District 11. Otherwise, it would have been maddening that Shen Xin would go to support a cartoonist from a foreign agency, Yu Chen.
Yu Chen retracted his attention, and his gaze fell on the 6 comics in front of him.
Among these 6, 4 is n, which is a drawn original.
There is an unsuccessful rule in the comics circle. More than one magazine company must submit the original manuscripts in accordance with this rule.
For cartoonists who already have serialization experience, even if they only submit n, the editor can evaluate the overall quality of the comics, but newcomers cannot. Because they have no serialization experience, even the editors are not even sure about the newcomer's painter. If the manuscript is not submitted, the editor will not risk submitting the newcomer's draft to the serialization meeting.
A manuscript means that two newcomers contribute.
6 comics were eliminated, and 4 were left. One of them was a new author, but Yu Chen didn't want to make all of them. Moreover, the remaining 4 did have a place to discuss.
"What are your opinions?" Yu Chen glanced at the four cartoons, one in love, one evil way, one funny cartoon, and one fairy man, with rich themes.
The comics on the theme of Xianxia are mostly collected in magazines like Feiyue. After all, the style of the magazine is tough, which is very suitable for the theme of Xianxia.
However, this Xianxia did not match Feiyue's style, and Yu Chen hesitated.
If the author of this manga is a manga artist with previous achievements, he may have decided directly, but its author is a newcomer, which makes people very entangled.
"The advantages and disadvantages of these four comics are very obvious, but love, evil and funny are the themes that have a good response. From this point of view, I prefer these three. As for the fairy man, it is not right, and he does not look like a fairy man. The style of painting is not good. , And more importantly, our magazine rarely serializes Xianxia comics, right?" Jia Hui scratched his head.
"It can't be so. The other three comics also belong to the category that can be serialized, but they are not serialized. If serialized, we have added limited non-serialization to our magazine, and our magazine will not lose much. In this case, we might as well try other types of comics. Maybe there will be a miraculous effect." Hook raised an objection.
This is the work submitted by his editors, and he must help.
"Now that the situation is stable, it is already good. What if the effect is not good after the serialization?" Jia Hui continued to ask rhetorically.
"What do you do? If it really doesn't work, cut it in half. We have to cut the comics in half every time, don't you want to bear it." Hu Ke stared at Jia Hui.
"I'm afraid, you are the one who is reluctant? You are not my author. Why am I reluctant?" Jia Hui curled his lips.
Hook tapped on the table and was about to refute. Li Jun raised his hand and said, "I have to say a few words. The subject matter is set aside for the time being, but it is undeniable that the newcomer's work is indeed worthy of caution."
"However, the magazine needs fresh blood. If it keeps doing this, let the old cartoonist stand, the magazine will go downhill sooner or later, right, editor-in-chief?"
This time, Hook directly cast his gaze to Yu Chen.
"Newcomer" Yu Chen leaned back in his chair and swayed twice, "It is true that the newcomer is also very important."
Hook was overjoyed, "This is the cartoonist in Li's hands. She still has a hand at seeing people."
"Uh, don't panic" Yu Chen leaned back in his chair and looked to the ceiling, "How about the newcomer author's previous short story?"
"The short story is the first. If it is not the first, Li will not submit it." Hook explained patiently.
"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Yu Chen asked back.
"Ok?"
"I have something to say in the last issue of Tonight. Teacher Luo Zheng and Teacher Ye have participated, and everyone knows the result. I am wondering whether we will also find a TV station to run it once. Although the two teachers are supporting roles in this issue, Wei It only took a year for Mao to become well-known in the industry from a little bit of fame. Using this style to hold one or two people, there is no pressure on the magazine."
"Editor-in-chief, I think that Wei Mao can be praised and his image is also very important. Cartoonists rely on works for food. Many people engage in this profession, partly because they don’t have to deal with the outside world too much. If you become a cartoonist, , And keep dealing with the media, aren't they too pitiful?" Hook asked rhetorically.
Cartoonists rarely have time to rest, and sometimes get busy, even all night long.
Rest is affected, three meals are uncertain, resulting in a poor image of many cartoonists.
"I know that." Yu Chen was a little embarrassed and rubbed his temples. "By the way, what is the image of this newcomer?"
"Mr. Yu, don't think about the image. How many cartoonists have good images? There is no need to demand such a high level of newcomers, right? They are all innocent, we still have to look at the works." The editor-in-chief of the monthly magazine R explained.
""
Han Ye is too introverted, Luo Zheng is heavy metal, Ye Hexu is short, and the only person with a good image is Shen Xin, but Shen Xin does not need to be a show to improve his reputation.
Yu Chen regretted inwardly, but could only give up. I have to, using a method similar to "star making" to select newcomers is indeed the fastest way to increase the visibility of newcomers. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to implement it.
But ~lightnovelpub.net~ people who think of this idea are also looking for a smoker, so what kind of stars are they okay? It made him want to take shortcuts.
"If it's these four," Yu Chen rubbed his face, "Shall we vote together?"
Wu Li was already fidgeting when the serialization meeting was held.
After the new work between Xi Muhan and Lu Ning was finished, she only had a cartoon in her hand. It was not until she met this newcomer that she felt that the work had some freshness. Moreover, although the theme of "Xian Xia" is rare in r, it is not impossible. As long as the story is interesting, it mainly depends on how to deal with the plot.
The five people in the glass compartment stood up, and Wu Li's eyes turned away.
Hook was the first to open the door, holding a stack of envelopes with manuscripts in his hand.
"Ms. Lichi's new book is approved and will be serialized in five weeks. Newcomers and new subjects, in short, you have to work hard."
"Yes! Got it." Wu Li stood up, took the envelope, and the tension in her heart eased.
