Chapter 1140 Newcomers and Image

"Editor-in-Chief, what do you think of these new works?"

During the serialization meeting of the r editorial department, Hu Ke, as the team leader, tapped the table twice and looked at Yu Chen. 【-Hand-typed version of the novel】

"ah?"

Yu Chen woke up from the trance.

Participating in that goddamn meeting tonight was the worst decision he made years ago. Thinking about it now, he still secretly regrets it.

At that time, it was fortunate that Shen Xin went to District 11, otherwise, Yu Chen, a cartoonist who asked Shen Xin to praise a foreign agency, would have been blown away.

Yu Chen withdrew his attention, and his eyes fell on Lu Manga in front of him.

Of these 6, 4 is n, which is the drawn manuscript.

There is an unacceptable rule in the comic circle, not just one magazine follows this rule, and must submit the original manuscript.

For cartoonists who already have experience in serialization, editors can evaluate the overall quality of comics even if they only submit n, but newcomers cannot. Because they have no experience in serialization, even the editors are not even sure about the artist of the newcomer. If they don't submit the original manuscript, the editor will not take the risk of submitting the draft of the newcomer to the serialization meeting.

A manuscript means that two newcomers contributed.

6 comics were eliminated, and there were 4 left, one of which was a new author, but Yu Chen didn't want to have all of them, and the remaining 4 did have room for discussion.

"What's your opinion?" Yu Chen glanced at the four comics, one about love, one about evil, one about funny, and one about fairy, with rich themes.

Most of the comics on the theme of Xianxia are collected by magazines like Feiyue. After all, the style of the magazine is tough, which is very suitable for the theme of Xianxia.

However, this Xianxia also didn't match Feiyue's style, so Yu Chen hesitated.

If the author of this comic is a cartoonist with previous achievements, he might just make a decision, but the 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 themes that have received a good response. From this point of view, I prefer these three. As for the fairy man, he is not right, and he doesn't look like a fairy, and the style of painting is not good. , and more importantly, our magazine rarely publishes Xianxia comics, right?" Jia Hui scratched his head.

"It can't be said that the other three comics are also serializable,

The category that can not be serialized. If it is serialized, the increase to our magazine is limited. If it is not serialized, our magazine will not suffer much loss. In this case, we might as well try other types of manga. It might work wonders. Hook objected.

This is a work submitted by his editors, and he has to help.

"In this situation, it's good to be stable. What if the effect is not good after the serialization?" Jia Hui continued to ask.

"What should I do? If it really doesn't work, cut it in half. We have to cut the manga in half every time. Don't be reluctant." Hook stared at Jia Hui.

"I'm afraid, you are the one who is reluctant, right? You're not my author, so why am I reluctant?" Jia Hui curled his lips.

Hook tapped the table lightly, and just as he was about to refute, Li Jun raised his hand and said, "I have a few words. Let's put aside the subject matter for now, but it is undeniable that the works of newcomers are indeed worthy of caution."

"However, the magazine needs fresh blood. If it continues like this, let the old cartoonists stand, the magazine will go downhill sooner or later, right, editor-in-chief?"

This time, Hu Ke cast his eyes directly on Yu Chen.

"Newcomer" Yu Chen leaned on the back of the chair and swayed twice, "It is true that newcomers are also very important."

Hu Ke was overjoyed, "This is the cartoonist in Li's hand, she still has a good hand at seeing people."

"Uh, don't panic." Yu Chen leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling, "How about the new author's previous short stories?"

"The short story comes first. If it wasn't for the first place, Li wouldn't submit it either." Hook patiently explained.

"You know what I'm thinking?" Yu Chen asked back.

"Um?"

"In the latest episode of Tonight's Talk, Teacher Luo Zheng and Teacher Ye both participated, and everyone knows the result. I was wondering if we should also find a TV station to operate it. Although the two teachers are supporting roles in this episode, Wei Wei It only took one year for Mao to become well-known in the industry from being a little famous. The magazine has no pressure to support one or two people in this way."

"Ahem, editor-in-chief, I think Wei Mao's image is also very important for Wei Mao to be promoted. Cartoonists rely on their works for a living, and 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 have to deal with the media all the time, aren’t they too pitiful?” Hook asked rhetorically.

Cartoonists rarely have time to rest, and sometimes they get busy, even all night long.

The rest is affected, and the three meals are uncertain, which leads to the poor image of many cartoonists.

"I know that." Yu Chen felt 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 are there with a good image? There is no need to have such high requirements for newcomers, right? They are all heretics, we still have to read the works." The editor-in-chief of the monthly r explained.

""

Han Ye is too introverted, Luo Zheng is heavy metal, Ye Hexu is short, and the only one with a good image is Shen Xin, but Shen Xin doesn't need to do shows to increase her fame.

Yu Chen felt regretful in his heart, but he had no choice but to give up. I have to, using a method similar to "star making" to select newcomers is indeed the fastest way to increase the popularity of newcomers, but it is a pity that there is no way to implement it at present.

However, the person who thought of this idea is also looking for a model, what kind of star is it okay to make? It made him want to take a shortcut.

"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 Xi Muhan and Lu Ning's new work was finished, she only had one manga left in her hand. It wasn't until she met this newcomer that she felt that the work had some freshness. Moreover, although the theme of "Xianxia" is rare in R, it is not impossible, as long as the story is interesting, it mainly depends on how the plot should be handled.

The five people in the glass compartment stood up, and Wu Li's gaze shifted there.

Hook was the first to open the door, holding a stack of envelopes with manuscripts in his hand.

"Ms. Li Chi's new book has been approved, and it will be serialized in five weeks. Newcomers and new themes, in short, you have to work hard."

"Yes! Got it." Wu Li stood up, took the envelope, and the tension in her heart eased.
