The two people have different attitudes, and it seems that the relationship is not very good.

In fact, it is common for cartoonists to hate each other. After all, after participating in the same competition, then each other is a competitor.

"Competition" is a term that is sparse and common, and is often mentioned.

The whole society is full of competition, but in this industry of comics, it seems extremely cruel.

Take these two people as an example, Luo Zheng won the first place with honors, interviews, advertisements, serialization... Then one after another, if you can produce works above the standard, then, although it may not be able to reach like Shen Xin or Ye At this level of geniality, but at least half of my life will be fine.

If Luo Zheng was more astute and created a long series that was cut above the line, this cartoon could almost support the rest of his life.

The loser has no such good luck. In order to make a living, they have to look for additional jobs before serialization. If they are lucky, they can find a job as an assistant. If they are unlucky, they may be part-time workers in the supermarket or at a meal.

Therefore, the competition between cartoonists may not only be you lose and I lose, but the greater probability is the difference between fate.

The young man wearing a purple shirt came to Wang Wenhong's side and barely smiled, "Are you Teacher Wang Wenhong?"

"Yes. Do you know me?"

"My name is Li Jie, I have met you at the annual meeting, and I have also met Teacher Shen and Teacher Ye." Li Jie explained.

"is it?"

Wang Wenhong was so drunk at the annual meeting that he couldn't remember anything.

Luo Zheng passed by the two of them, snorted coldly, and continued to walk towards the editorial office.

Li Jie glared at Luo Zheng's back, but he was helpless.

From the current stage, he is indeed more promising than Luo Zheng.

"You want to give me a manuscript?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"Um. Yes." Li Jie quickly handed the envelope to Wang Wenhong.

"This is not a place to talk. Let's go to the room and talk?" Wang Wenhong held the envelope. It was almost fifty pages thick, and it should be a short story.

Li Jie nodded quickly.

In order to be quiet, Wang Wenhong deliberately found a seat in a corner, and then pulled out the original manuscript inside.

This is a science fiction comic named "The Value of Time".

The story is set in a different world, where people can extract the remaining time of the person and increase the lifespan of others through oral or injection.

However, human life is unique, and no one will let others propose their own lives, except for one kind of human being-slaves.

As a result, a war broke out between countries for this shortage of "resources."

The defeated side becomes a slave. The winner will extract the life of the slave and put it in a special container for sale to the public.

At the beginning, everyone can accept this scarce product. However, over time, the drawbacks of this product have emerged.

Even if it is placed in a special container, time will gradually disappear, that is to say, the value of a commodity named "time" will continue to decrease.

The value of the commodity decreases, the price should have fallen, but the decrease in the number of slaves increases the value of the commodity.

In this distorted relationship, the value of time has gradually become less stable...

It was the first time that Wang Wenhong saw this kind of story, so he read it twice before reluctantly letting it go.

"How about, Teacher Wang?" Li Jie asked quickly.

"Very good setting." Wang Wenhong said thoughtlessly.

"What about the story? And the storyboard, the rhythm...what about these?" Li Jie asked.

Wang Wenhong was a little surprised. For newcomers, only one highlight of their short works is enough.

It's not that Wang Wenhong underestimated them, but when newcomers are creating works, they are easy to be proud of themselves. The cartoons they draw think they are perfect, but in fact they are quite modest.

"Speaking like that? If I were your editor in charge, I wouldn't let this comic pass."

"Why?" Li Jie asked quickly.

"One word, chaos. This chaos is not only chaotic, but also chaotic in the structure of the story. There is too much narration in the front, and after the protagonist comes out, you speed up the plot. Therefore, it seems to have a top-heavy taste. You have written a composition. Right?"

"Yeah." Li Jie nodded.

"Whether a composition is attractive or not is very important at the beginning. It first comes up with a large parallel sentence, and then the content is meaningful, and the ending is refined and meaningful. It is estimated that the teacher will not be able to control the composition to score high. By the way, the cleanliness of the picture is also very important. In contrast, your comics have too many narratives, and few readers will clarify the relationship as meticulously, and the picture is also very messy. In short, the creativity is really good. , But the handling method is not good."

Li Jie scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard Wang Wenhong's words.

"Why, don't you believe me?" Wang Wenhong asked rhetorically.

"Of course not." Li Jie waved his hand again and again. "At the annual meeting, I met Yelaoshr. He also made a simple evaluation of my work... That may not be called evaluation. At the annual meeting, I was only I know that the editor’s grasp of the work is more lenient than the author. I... Mr. Wang, can you let Mr. Shen read this cartoon?"

Just kidding, how can Shen Xin have time to read newcomer cartoons now?

Wang Wenhong almost blurted out.

"You are at that level... I thought I won an award for excellence, so I got my nose upright, and I want to teach me the experience of drawing comics... I'm sorry, all your experience is old and useless at all. I really don't know how to use it. I don’t like."

A voice suddenly came from behind Wang Wenhong's ears~lightnovelpub.net~Wang Wenhong turned his head and looked at the person who was talking. It was Luo who was holding cheap sunglasses in one hand and five golden and ignorant metal rings in the other. Clank.

"I'm sorry." Xu Yang put his hands together and quickly apologized, then pulled Luo Zheng to the round table on one side.

Li Jie held the envelope tightly with both hands, his face flushed.

Wang Wenhong scratched his head. Originally, he didn't want to be troublesome, but now he just rushed Li Jie away, which seemed not so good.

"Li Jie, right?"

"Yeah." Li Jie nodded quickly.

"This is the situation. Teacher Shen now has one less assistant, so the recent work tasks are relatively heavy. I can't guarantee that he will be willing to see you. At 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening, wait for my call. If Teacher Shen has time , I will contact you again."

"Really?" Li Jie immediately became energetic, and the complexion on his face was obviously much better.

Seeing Li Jie's excited look, Wang Wenhong was also a little embarrassed. If Shen Xin didn't have time, he didn't know how to comfort Li Jie.

After leaving Li Jie away, Wang Wenhong and Shen Xin made a phone call to explain the cause of the matter.

Li Jie?

Shen Xin raised his head and thought about it for a moment. He was indeed a very interesting young man. Although the person is a bit ostentatious, but the heart is pretty good.

"Well, let him come? But, you'd better tell him, don't expect me to give useful advice." Shen Xin did not forget to exhort at last.
