In early November, the weather turned cold.
On Friday morning, Chu Yu walked into the classroom as usual. After a week of busy work, Chu Yu finally drew the manuscript of the Remembrance of Sanhua Rurouni Jianxin the day before yesterday. Yesterday, he went back to sleep in the afternoon. By daybreak, he looks more energetic today.
Ordinary, an ordinary morning as always.
Of course, this is just Chu Yu's idea.
In fact, even Zhao Qinyin, who is in a few classes away, would nervously check his mobile phone from time to time.
After all, today is the day that the Cuttlefish Comics Club held a serial meeting on the serialization of the vacancies in the comic periodical.
Although the author of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is Chu Yu, as an assistant, she certainly hopes that this work will be selected by the manga agency.
Moreover, because of participating in the drawing of this comic, Zhao Qinyin is more aware of the quality of this work.
Combat, politics, love, revenge and many other elements are integrated in the short plot.
Regardless of the painting skills or the connotation of the works, Zhao Qinyin feels that it is not much better than the works serialized on the manuscript now.
It's just a pity that I only drew three manuscripts before the serialization meeting...The plot has not been fully developed yet.
Different from the finished manuscript, the comic name that Chu Yu gave Zhao Qinyin for reference has been drawn up to the ninth chapter, and Zhao Qinyin can be regarded as knowing some of the plot behind it.
From her point of view, if such a work is serialized because the plot of the first three episodes has not yet started, it is definitely not Chu Yu's loss, but Cuttlefish Comics' loss.
...
At 9:30 in the morning, dozens of editors, large and small, all arrived at the Cuttlefish Comics Club and sat quietly in the conference room.
Many editors do not have suitable works in their hands, so they are not ready to compete for the vacant seats in the comics. These people have a very relaxed expression. They talked and laughed before the meeting, but more editors, then His complexion is dignified.
Among them, Su Lu is also included.
This week, after reading the comic name of the first nine episodes of Rurouni Kenshin drawn by Chu Yu and the manuscripts of the first three episodes, Su Lu finally got a general understanding of this work.
To be honest, aside from the estimated length of the sixteen chapters of this work, just considering the quality and depth of the work, it is definitely the most exciting comic that Su Lu has received over the years in this industry.
Especially in the early hours of yesterday morning, after going home with the manuscript in a daze, she only got up the next morning and read the manuscript of the three chapters from start to finish. She was stunned.
Handsome character modeling and fighting, exquisite painting style, and the panoramic picture of the umbrella in the rain on the last page of the third chapter.
At that moment, Su Lu realized for the first time that he didn't know Chu Yu at all. Su Lu has always regarded him as a potential rookie cartoonist.
But now, she doesn't think so. Only the second work can have such a quality cartoonist. It is obviously too pale to use only three words with potential to describe it!
At this time, editor-in-chief Pang Feng and deputy editor-in-chief Song Jiayu walked in together.
"Everyone is here, so let's start the meeting!"
After the two people are seated, they don't talk nonsense.
"A total of 18 works participated in the competition at this conference."
"Of course, although I said before that the purpose of this meeting is to select works to fill the gaps in the comics, but if many of the works are excellent, they can also be used as preliminary works for other journals!"
Next, the staff will hand out the name copies of the comic works submitted to participate in the competition to the editors one by one.
"This is not the first time everyone has participated in this kind of meeting, but even so, I'll talk about the selection rules again!"
"Each work has five minutes of viewing time. Please fill in your score for this work in the form on your desktop after reading it.
" "Finally, the top five works with the highest scores will be summarized for discussion and voting in the final session. The works with the most voting scores can get serialization opportunities."
"There are 37 people participating in the conference. Among them, the vote of the editor-in-chief in the final session counts five points, the vote of the deputy editor-in-chief counts three points, and the rest of the people who vote are counted one point, and abandon vote for a certain work is not counted!"
Generally speaking, the editors and associate editors of serials in general journals have a lot of right to speak, which can affect whether the works can be serialized to a large extent. Only in this periodical, the vacancy of serialization needs to be so serious. Election by voting has also been the rule of Cuttlefish Comics for many years.
Soon, the first work was submitted.
No one spoke during this time, everyone was watching the work in front of him intently.
The quality of the works that are confident to participate in this kind of conference will naturally not be bad. At least, even editors who have worked in this industry for many years on the spot can hardly find the obvious shortcomings of these works. , At least all on the pass line.
Soon, an hour passed.
After reading the manga name intently for an hour, many people sweated on their foreheads.
However, the more he went to the back, the more relaxed the expression on Su Lu's face.
Because although there are a few excellent works among them, to be honest, from an objective point of view, Su Lu still thinks that these works have a big gap with the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.
Moreover, some of these works, like Chu Yu, did not submit their name for selection, but directly submitted the original manuscripts.
Of course, the authors of these works are definitely not like Chu Yu's enthusiastic players, but some who have painted new works early, waiting for such serialization opportunities before they come to submit their articles.
Time passed, when the staff once again replaced the works in front of the editors, almost all the editors were bright.
Not the name, but also the original delivery, and the first page attracted the eyes of many editors.
The work is called Hidden Girl.
"This...screen?"
"This style of painting is so familiar."
"Author..."
"Dong Yun..."
All of a sudden, the meeting room exploded!
"Teacher Dong Yun, no way!"
"This is the backbone cartoonist of Fengyu Comics Club!"
"I heard that she was not in a hurry to renew her contract with Fengyu after her contract expired, but anyway, she left the platform where she had been fighting for seven or eight years, and what did she come to do with Cuttlefish?"
Dong Yun is the contracted author of Tianyin Comics, a comic magazine owned by Fengyu Comics.
In Los Angeles, there are three major comic magazines, Man Ying, Tianyin Comics, and Fire Dragon Comics, which belong to Cuttlefish Comics, Fengyu Comics and Dragon Tooth Comics.
And Dong Yun had been serialized on Tianyin comics before, and the upper work "Heart Mystery" was voted for forty-five weeks in Tianyin comics and ranked first, and it was one of the top girl comics authors in Los Angeles.
All of a sudden, all the editors present were heartbroken.
If such a character wants to come to Cuttlefish, it is normal to cut a piece of work directly on the comic to make way for her. What kind of serial meeting is she still participating in!
Isn't this bullying?
Who would dare not give her a chance to serialize?
Then tomorrow, her fans can send a bunch of bad reviews and block in front of the comics club to demonstrate.
Song Jiayu smiled. He had long understood that it would be like this when Dong Yun's work was unveiled at this conference.
He could have arranged for Dong Yun's work to be serialized directly on the comic, but he did not do so, instead let Dong Yun's new work enter this serialization meeting.
The purpose is nothing else, just want to make Su Lu feel what despair is.
After all, he had heard that Su Lu had been busy during this period of time, and it seemed that he hoped that the new work of the author of the Court of Yan Ye would stand out in this serial meeting.
Although he does not think that the newcomer author has the ability to draw works of sufficient quality from the numerous works of this serial conference.
But it's always good to be careful. After all, the serialization opportunities of other journals are basically the two editors-in-chief of him and Pang Feng. UU Reading www.uukanshu. Com only has a diffuse shadow, it is a voting election, and there may be some unexpected situations.
But in any case, even if the newcomer's work really exploded, it is impossible to explode Dong Yun's new work!
But what makes Song Jiayu strange is that when Su Lu saw this work signed by the author Dong Yun, his brows were frowned at first, but after reading this work carefully, the frowning brows were actually loosened and his face 'S expression seems to have some disapproving expressions faintly.
This shouldn't be!
Dong Yun's new work, Song Jiayu, has seen that no matter the style, plot, or opening is above the standard, it is no worse than the opening of the pinnacle "Heart Riddle". Could it be that the work of the newcomer named Shui Xin she brought is better than Is Dong Yun's work strong?
Ha ha....
Song Jiayu shook his head!
Five minutes of reading time passed quickly.
Most editors preparing to compete for this opportunity sighed.
It is worthy of Dong Yun's new work. Indeed, the quality of the work is not on the same level as those of the previous works.
Did not lose unjustly!
quickly...
Replaced with a new work.
Although everyone has acquiesced in their hearts that Dong Yun's new work "The Hidden Girl" has obtained the opportunity to serialize this time.
However, their professionalism makes them carefully examine the later works. After all, if there are really promising works, they can also be serialized in other journals.
"Rurouni Kenshin. Remembrance!"
The manuscript submitted is the same as the Secret Girl, signed by the author, Shui Xin.
"Here." Song Jiayu smiled.
He wanted to see how this work, which Su Lu had hoped for, was so much worse than Dong Yun's new work...
