Chapter 1219 Evaluation
Tachibana also knew that just changing his name would have no effect at all. The reason why he did this was more to relieve the depression in his heart.
After closing the name, Tachibana closed his eyes and calmed down, then opened his eyes and looked at China Kotani who was sitting not far in front, and asked, "What do you think, Kotani?"
"Ah?" Kotani China was taken aback, then turned his head and looked at Tachibana, "Editor-in-Chief, are you talking about this manga?"
"That's right."
Xiao Gu nodded.
"How should I put it? Although it is not Mr. Shen's original work, the rhythm of the first chapter of this manga is very good." China Xiaotani said.
"Tell me the reason..." Tachibana rubbed his chin and said softly.
"The editor-in-chief should have seen it long ago. The story first mentioned that the protagonist doesn't like comics, and later the protagonist chooses to be a cartoonist. This is a big reversal in itself, but what happened during the period made the protagonist react like this?" There is room for manoeuvre. "Man·Tao" takes a different approach and gives the protagonist a special background—his father is an editor.
"Is there such a possibility? Of course there is. For example, my son has this kind of background. His father is an editor, and the protagonist has a lot of ears and eyes, so he will have feelings for comics, so he will also imagine I can also draw a cartoon by myself—in fact, my son did. But, you also know, what children say they want to do when they grow up, in fact, has nothing to do with growing up, but the protagonist is different , because of the sudden death of his father, the "cartoonist" left a deep impression on the protagonist's heart, and became the hurdle that he couldn't get over, so he turned his attention to the cartoonist again.
"In addition, the cartoonist's son also played a key role in the protagonist's transformation. At the beginning, it was because of him that the protagonist asked his father to leave the cartoonist's studio early. He was not the murderer, but he triggered a series of events. This should be the 'butterfly effect'. Therefore, how the protagonist faces this cartoonist who is similar to his age is also a major attraction.
"The tone of the whole story is low, but Mr. Shen's name is trying to eliminate the low tone. He uses more pen and ink in the place where the comics bring joy to the protagonist. It took a lot of space, but the plot of his father's death was briefly mentioned, obviously not wanting his father's tragedy to affect the reader's emotions. In 68 pages, he has completed many reversals and successfully established an opponent. The plot is compact and smooth , From this point of view, I think the quality of the manga is very high."
"Then do you think there is a chance to serialize in "Young Leap"?"
"If I remember correctly, this should be Yue Geng's cartoon.
"Xiao Gu Qianming reminded.
"I know, but "icFuture" will also serialize this manga."
"That's because the background of this manga is "icFuture", so of course they can serialize it." Otani China struggled.
Tachibana sighed, the key point of this matter is indeed in the background of "Man·Dao".
The largest comic magazine in District 11 serialized a comic with "icFuture" as the background, which is indeed not appropriate.
"But...Mr. Shen's painting style has also changed. It is no longer the realistic style of "" but has returned to the previous one. If his new weekly works are serialized, will readers accept it?"
"Should...can you?" China Kotani looked at the character design in her hand and said bravely.
I have to say that the difference between this character set and "" is still quite big. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a new cartoonist without the name of the person.
"At that time, when "" was serialized, Mr. Shen suddenly changed his style. Isn't his grades very good?" China Xiaotani added.
"But this time Mr. Shen finished painting "" and then "Man·Dao". The height of "" is too high, are you sure readers don't need an adaptation period?" Tachibana asked rhetorically.
"It doesn't matter what the results of "Man·Tao" are, but how important the manga is in the next week, I don't need to say more, right?"
Only relying on "", Shen Xin's popularity in the 11th district comic circle is no less than that of Uematsuno. In addition to the previous "Steel Refining" and "Dn", in a sense, relying on the quality of the works alone has already Overwhelming Uematsuno, Tachibana also listed Shen Xin's next week's work as a must-win manga for "Shounen Leap".
If Shen Xin's next comic fails, and "The Gate of Eternal Life" is about to end, the sales of "Young Leap" are expected to continue to decline sharply.
What's more, compared with Tachibana, Shen Xin has an absolute advantage in being young.
Although Shen Xin has debuted for nearly 20 years so far, she couldn’t help but debut early and is only in her thirties now. Although Uematsuno is a pillar-level manga artist of "Shounen Leap", he is also nearly 50 years old.
The age difference of more than ten years old is definitely an exaggerated advantage, which means that Shen Xin still has a long peak period.
"If you say that... I have no opinion. I just don't know what the other team leaders think. If I support the serialization of this comic in "Gate of Eternal Life", will it cause dissatisfaction among other team leaders and editors?"
It would be fine if it was updated weekly, but "Man·Tao" is a monthly update, and a manga with "icFuture" as the background will be published on "Shounen Leap". Is this an advertisement for "icFuture"?
This villain, he won't do it.
"This is also a problem..." Tachibana rubbed his forehead.
Now, the problem is stuck here.
In principle, it is difficult to serialize "Man·Dao" on "Youth Leap", but in the long run, serializing it on "Youth Leap" will bring more benefits.
"Also, it's the original work... No one knows her level, right? Even if the first episode is excellent, it is doubtful whether the follow-up results will be stable." Tachibana worried.
"Actually... her previous works are also available in our magazine." Otani China reminded.
"Is there?" Tachibana asked back.
"Really." Otani China said seriously, "Probably because the works of "icFuture" are packaged and imported, and you may not care too much. She is the original work of two works, and her results in "icFuture" are very good .Later, it was also included in the app of our magazine."
"Huh? How's your grades?" Tachibana asked quickly.
"No. After all, it's a finished manga, and its popularity is not as good as that of the serialized works, and..." China Xiaotani took a deep breath, "Readers are not used to reading works that don't know the author, this is also a reason."
"What's your name?" Tachibana immediately became interested.
"'Ding Shi' and 'The Girl Who Traveled Through'."
Tachibana immediately wrote down these two comics in a notepad, and planned to read them after get off work. 8
