Chapter 206 The Competition of Cartoonists

When Wang Wenhong saw this coloring page for the first time, he was surprised. At this time, the exclamation from the editor in the editorial department reminded him of his feelings at that time.

Just looking at this coloring page is enough to make everyone look forward to this comic.

The second color page shows Zuo Wei and Jin Tengguang. Zuo Wei opened his folding fan to cover his cheeks. Jin Tengguang, who was standing in front of him, held a sunspot in his hand and put it on the chessboard.

If the first color picture is more realistic, then the second color picture has the flavor of a comic book cover.

Seeing this, Hu Ke nodded again and again, "Mr. Shen's painting style is a little different from before, but his painting skills are still good."

"It's more than good. Let's take the first color picture as an example. How many cartoonists at his age can draw it?" said an editor.

"Having said that, the quality of a comic still depends on the story."

"Didn't name already read it in advance?"

"But I haven't read the original manuscript... Sometimes the feeling of reading the manuscript is different from reading the name."

Hook patted his hands twice, "Everyone be quiet, we will read the manuscript soon."

His heart was itching from being scratched by two coloring pages, and he couldn't wait to open the manuscript of the first chapter.

Even though he had already read the name, even if he knew the outline of the story, when he read the text, Hook still felt a sense of freshness.

This freshness, on the one hand, comes from the change of Shen Xin's painting style. From the current point of view, although the painting style still has some shadows, the painting style shown in the original manuscript is more suitable for matching; on the other hand, After supplementing the game record and Go-related knowledge, this comic suddenly has a heavy feeling.

This may be the characteristic of Go that has been accumulated for thousands of years.

When he turned to the last page, Hook still didn't feel at peace in his heart, and then read it two or three times in a row before closing the manuscript.

"The next issue of the magazine must be a poster!" Hook said in a deep voice.

"Why?" exclaimed an editor.

"A coloring page of this quality can't be justified without a poster, right?" Hook tapped Zuowei's single coloring page and said softly.

"That's what I said, but the posters for the next issue have already been confirmed. Moreover, Mr. Shen's is scheduled for issue 21, and now issue 14 has just been released. How can there be an advertisement more than a month in advance?" The editor retorted road.

Hook stroked his stubble, and this man was right.

"Team leader, there is no need to advance so many issues. It is best to give away 20 issues, and then 21 issues will be serialized. Readers will also have a sense of expectation."

The editor-in-chief was not qualified to participate in many meetings of the magazine. Wang Wenhong could only establish a good relationship with Hu Ke, so that Hu Ke could say a few good words at critical times.

Hook nodded, and the others cast contemptuous glances at Wang Wenhong, but they also understood that if it was their work, they might have made it even more exaggerated.

The first chapter of the book caused a lot of controversy in the editorial department. However, the editorial department quickly put the focus of the debate on the reader survey.

In the "Little Book" released on Friday, she fell back to the third place again, and Jian Xiao brows furiously for a long time without saying a word.

Sometimes the editor-in-charge is quite helpless. Although I am in a depressed mood, I still have to adjust my mood and comfort the author.

When she told Ye Hexu the result of "Little Book",

Ye Hexu's expression didn't fluctuate much.

"What's the matter? Aren't you depressed?"

"What are you depressed about? This is a good thing." Ye Hexu lowered his head, holding a pen in his hand, and looked back at Jian Xiaomei with a chuckle.

"Good thing?" Jian Xiaomei looked puzzled.

"The style of the book changes, and readers will also be affected. The ranking will either rise or fall, and it is impossible to remain in the third place. This can only show that the previous works also felt the pressure from... Soon, Mr. Shen also It will be involved, and at that time, the reader survey will be interesting." Ye Hexu stretched his muscles and showed a confident smile on his face, "This time, I won't give up so easily."

Jian Xiaomei scratched her head, although half a year had passed since the comic festival, Ye Hexu still did not forget the defeat at that time.

This year, Shen Xin has not opened a book yet, and Ye Hexu has no suitable projects, so it is impossible for the two of them to participate in the comic festival. The duel between them can only be determined based on the ranking of the reader questionnaire.

Perhaps this is exactly what Ye Hexu expected.

At the same time, in another residence, a middle-aged man with a shaggy beard was painting at his desk when the doorbell rang.

The assistant immediately stood up from his seat and opened the door. A thin middle-aged man with small round glasses stood outside the door.

"Hello, Teacher Jia." The assistant smiled.

"Is Mr. Wang's drawing finished?" The thin middle-aged man smiled.

"The painting is finished, Mr. Wang is waiting for you in the studio."

"Really? It's rare."

The middle-aged editor was taken aback, followed his assistant into the living room, and tapped on the door twice, and the words "Please come in" came out.

Pushing open the door, the middle-aged editor saw that the bearded cartoonist had turned around and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Wang, you should shave your beard... Also, hasn't your hair been cut for a long time? You just turned 40, but you look like you're 60."

The middle-aged editor looked helplessly at the cartoonist. If he was not familiar with him, no one would have guessed that this slovenly middle-aged man was the author.

"Oh, I'm really too busy, I keep forgetting these things... But, these are not important." Wang Yunze smiled slightly, "Mr. Jia, this is the original manuscript and the name of the next chapter, please keep it safe."

"Mr. Wang, you seem to be in a good mood now."

"Um."

"Anything to be happy about?"

"I remember Teacher Ye is the author of your group, right?" Wang Yunze asked.

"That's right, it's Jian Xiaomei's author."

"Some cartoonists may not be able to persist for eight years, but they have persisted for nearly nine years, so I am a little tired." Wang Yunze sighed.

"Teacher, you must not think so, you must not have it."

"I know. At that time, the editor-in-chief Shang was really sincere in order to invite me, so I persisted until now. He said that he could paint for eight years, but he didn't necessarily have so many things in his mind. But now he doesn't Same." Wang Yunze narrowed his eyes.

"Eh?"

"The change made me feel happy, but also a little bit of pressure. In addition, Mr. Shen's work will be published, right?"

"That's right, it's Go, but I don't know if its future performance will be a threat."

Wang Yunze waved his hand.

"The subject matter is a bottle. Whether the manga is eye-catching or not depends on the story in the 'bottle'. An interesting manga will be very interesting no matter what the subject matter is. It is just an ordinary love theme, but Mr. Shen has the ability Draw different content. Therefore, I cannot admit defeat in the face of such a young author. Teacher Jia Hui, this time, we must withstand the impact of newcomers."

"Of course, it will definitely become the benchmark." Jia Hui pushed his small glasses, with a confident smile on his face.
