However, in the following weeks, a flash of inspiration never appeared again.
If it weren't for the picture, Meng Huo would have thought he had a daydream. He was troubled by how to get that feeling back, and he didn't even continue to draw the comics.
He decided to submit the first chapter first. Two days before the high school entrance examination, Meng Huo found information about manga submissions in the bookstore, and two companies entered his vision.
One is Longteng, a comprehensive publishing company. This company mainly publishes literary works and novels. Its comics industry is also a giant in the industry, and almost monopolizes all well-known cartoonists. The second is Phoenix, which focuses on comic publishing. This company's scale and market are not as good as Longteng's, but it pays the highest price to newcomer cartoonists.
Meng Huo submitted the original manuscript to Phoenix Company. He felt that Longteng Company, which monopolizes excellent novel resources, might not be attracted to him, and the cost of the manuscript is also very important.
Phoenix's editorial department is in Ninghai, China's second largest city. There is still some time before the comics are delivered and the results are released. Meng Huo put his mind on the entrance examination of Jiangnan Province.
The entire senior high school entrance examination lasted for three days. He never forgot to make Meng Huo a fish in water. He believed that he could get full marks in most subjects, but Meng Huo didn't want to be too exaggerated. He deliberately left errors in each test paper, without a full score.
Language is arranged on the last day, it is the most important subject in China.
Meng was able to estimate the scores of the previous exams. He felt that the scores were still too high, and he could push it down a little bit, as long as he could enter most high schools.
However, something unexpected happened. Not long after the exam bell rang, a flash of inspiration reappeared.
At the time, Meng Huo was writing his own name. He only felt that the whole examination paper had become as clear as a slow motion screening, and he knew how to solve the problem.
In this state, Meng Huo was very excited, and he couldn't help but began to write quickly.
"Whhhhhhhhh!" The quick brushstroke caught the attention of the invigilator behind him. He frowned and walked to check, and he almost didn't drop his chin.
I saw Meng Huo's hand moving from the test paper like a harvester. He hardly needs to think, and all the blank areas are quickly filled with words. The invigilator himself was a Chinese teacher, and he felt that Meng Huo's answer was unexpectedly accurate, so accurate that he felt like cheating.
He quietly took out the electronic instrument to scan, but there was no response, not cheating.
"It's not cheating?"
The invigilator was shocked, but when he looked again, he found that Meng Huo had turned the test paper over, and the speed in his hand still did not stop.
What kind of monster is this? —He was dumbfounded.
Then when Meng Huo woke up from the 'light flash', the pen happened to be the last full stop on the composition.
The remaining two invigilators didn't know when they came up. They looked down at the test papers, their eyes looked dull.
"Ten...ten minutes!"
A teacher looked at the clock on the wall, pushed his glasses and stammered and asked: "Are you done?"
is a miracle! The three invigilators had never seen a student who did papers so quickly, and there was no sign of cheating, as if they had memorized the answers long ago.
Meng Huo nodded calmly: "Well, I want to hand in papers."
He stood up and packed his stationery, and the other students in the examination room looked over in shock.
is silent.
It wasn't until Meng Huo left the teaching building that an invigilator remembered the most critical question. He ran out and shouted, "Hey, wait, it's not time to hand in the paper!"
But Meng Huo didn't look back. In this world, the senior high school entrance examination will not be awarded zero points for handing in early. With a total score of 750 points in Jiangnan Province, Meng Huo felt that he should have a score of more than 650, which is quite sufficient.
A few days have passed since the middle school entrance examination.
On June 18, Phoenix Building in Ninghai City.
The editor-in-chief of "Weekly Youth", Ye Xiong, who just went to work, looked at the report with a sad expression. Magazine sales have dropped. Weekly Boys' Comics is their most popular magazine, but sales are still far from that of Longteng.
"Did you make a mistake in strategic positioning?"
In the past few years, Ye Xiong had this idea countless times, but immediately shook his head and denied: "No, it must be right to take the original path!"
Phoenix Company puts its strategic center on original comics, while Longteng Company prefers novels. The capital and scale of Phoenix Company cannot be compared with Longteng Company, so Ye Xiong feels that originality is their only way out.
However, over the years, why has the company's performance been tepid?
"Manga artist, as a result, there is still a lack of talented cartoonists."
Ye Xiong couldn't help sighing. The short time for the rise of comics has caused the quality of comic artists to be uneven. This problem can only be solved by time.
However, he feels very unwilling. The development of the comics industry is changing with each passing day. There are already many children working hard here. It is foreseeable that original comics will become mainstream in five or six years. And he couldn't serve as the editor-in-chief for a long time because he couldn't get the results.
Why can't a manga genius come out in advance?
Like hearing Ye Xiong's heartfelt voice, an editor suddenly screamed and stood up, sprinkling all the manuscripts in the carton beside him.
"Haha, Professor Yang, have you seen cockroaches again?"
The entire editorial department burst into laughter. The editors knew that this young editor named Sun Yang was just as courageous as a woman, and couldn't help screaming when he saw mice.
"No, no, I clean it!" Sun Yang blushed, and raised the manuscript in his hands with excitement: "Look, everyone, I found a genius!"
"Genius?"
"Isn't that a contribution from a newcomer? How can a newcomer have a genius!"
The other editors didn't believe it, and the editor-in-chief Ye Xiong didn't believe it either, but he still said, "Take me to see."
Phoenix Company attaches great importance to cultivating new cartoonists, but the current situation is that hundreds of people recommend themselves every month, and very few can enter the eyes of editors. UU read www.uukanshu.com for a long time, even the editor-in-chief Ye Xiong no longer holds any hope.
He took the manuscript handed by Sun Yang and frowned at the first glance.
"Detective Conan"
The title almost made Ye Xiong throw it away. Now the popular boy comics are mainly combat, and the subject of detectives is greatly restricted.
However, he still frowned and looked down. In this look, the development of the plot behind was beyond imagination. This cartoon started with the first young detective of China as a howling head. The protagonist solved the case quite simply and swiftly. In the end, Also led to an amazing shady!
The content of 's words and short words attracted Ye Xiong. The original author's grasp of the reader's psychology can be described as the pinnacle, and the drawing skills are superb, and it is impossible to form without more than ten years of practice.
The most shocking thing is the last picture, that picture is simply amazing! Ye Xiong believes that there will be no abruptness in putting it on display in the gallery, but it is just an ordinary manuscript! ?
Ye Xiong was stunned. He stood up only after half the payment, propped his hands on the table: "Genius..."
He was trembling, and his dream for a long time seemed to have found a breakthrough opportunity. Ye Xiong was so excited that he couldn't help himself: "If you want to buy it, you must buy its copyright!"
If such an excellent comic was obtained by other companies, Ye Xiong would have to regret it all his life!
"Sun Yang!" He raised his head and cursed at the subordinate in front of him: "Why are you still stunned? Give me the author's phone number!"
