Chapter 20 Meetings

In early November, the weather turned cold.

On Friday morning, Chu Yu walked into the classroom as usual. After a busy week, Chu Yu finally drew the original manuscript of the three chapters of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance the day before yesterday. Yesterday, he went back to sleep well in the afternoon. By dawn, he looked more energetic today.

Ordinary, ordinary morning as always.

Of course, this is just Chu Yu's idea.

In fact, even Zhao Qinyin, who was in several classes apart, would nervously check his phone from time to time.

After all, today is the day when the Cuttlefish Comics Society held a serialization meeting about the vacant serialization in the comic journal Manying.

Although the author of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is Chu Yu, as an assistant, she certainly hopes that this work will be selected by the comics.

Moreover, because of participating in the drawing of this comic, Zhao Qinyin is more aware of the quality of this work.

Combining battle, politics, love, revenge and many other elements in the short plot.

Whether it is the artist or the connotation of the work, Zhao Qinyin feels that it is much better than the works serialized on Manying now.

It's just a pity that I only drew the original plot of the three episodes before the serialization meeting, and it hasn't fully unfolded yet.

Different from the finished draft, the name of the comic that Chu Yu gave Zhao Qinyin as a reference has already drawn the content of the ninth chapter, and Zhao Qinyin has some knowledge of the following plot.

From her point of view, if such a work is not serialized because the plot of the first three episodes has not yet unfolded, it is definitely not Chu Yu's loss, but the loss of Cuttlefish Comics.

At 9:30 in the morning, dozens of editors from the Cuttlefish Manga Club, large and small, all gathered 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 Manying. These people are very relaxed, and they are talking and laughing before the meeting starts, but more editors, then Is the face solemn.

Among them, Su Yan was also included.

This week, after reading the comic name of the first nine chapters of Rurouni Kenshin and the original manuscript of the first three chapters drawn by Chu Yu, Su Yan finally had a general understanding of this work.

To be honest, aside from the expected sixteen-episode length of this work, in terms of the quality and depth of the work alone, it is definitely the most wonderful comic that Su Yan has received over the years in this industry.

Especially in the early morning of yesterday, after returning home with the manuscript in a daze, she was stunned when she woke up the next morning and read the manuscript of the three-chapter comic from beginning to end.

Handsome character modeling and fighting, exquisite style of painting, and the panorama of Xuedaiba holding an umbrella in the rain on the last page of Chapter 3.

At that moment, Su Hao realized for the first time that he didn't know Chu Yu at all. Su Hao had always regarded him as a potential rookie cartoonist.

But now, she doesn't think so anymore, it's just the second work that can have such a quality cartoonist, and it's obviously too pale to describe only the word "potential"!

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!"

The two of them didn't talk nonsense after they were seated.

"A total of 18 works participated in the competition in this conference."

"Of course, although I said earlier that the purpose of this meeting is to select works to fill the vacancies in Manying, but if many of them are excellent, they can also be used as preparatory works for other journals!"

Next, the staff will distribute the submitted copies of the names of the competing comic works to the editors.

"This is not the first time you have participated in such a meeting, but even so, I will tell you about the selection rules again!"

"Each work has five minutes of viewing time. Please fill in your rating for this work in the form on your desktop after reading it."

"The top five works with the highest aggregate scores will be discussed and voted in the final link, and the work with the most votes will have the opportunity to be serialized."

"There are 37 people participating in this meeting. Among them, the editor-in-chief's vote in the final session will be counted five points, the deputy editor's vote will be counted three points, the rest of the votes will be counted one point, and no points will be counted for abandoning a certain work!"

Generally speaking, only the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief have a lot of right to speak in the serialization in general journals, which can greatly affect whether the work can be serialized. Only in the journal Manying, its serial vacancies need to use such serious words. To be elected by voting, this has also been the rule of the Cuttlefish Comics for many years.

Soon, the first work was presented.

No one spoke during this time, and everyone was watching the works in front of them intently.

I am confident that the quality of the works participating in this kind of conference will not be bad. At least, even the editors who have worked in this industry for many years will find it difficult to find the obvious shortcomings of these works. At most, they can only say that they are not good enough , at least on the passing line.

Soon, an hour passed.

After reading the manga name for an hour, many people were sweating finely on their foreheads.

But the further back, the more relaxed the expression on Su Yan's face.

Because although there are several excellent works among them, to be honest, from an objective point of view, Su Yan still thinks that these works are quite different from the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

Moreover, some of these works, like Chu Yu, did not submit the name for selection, but submitted the original manuscript directly.

Of course, the authors of these works are definitely not gamers like Chu Yu, but some who have painted new works early and waited for such a serialization opportunity before they came to contribute.

Time passed, and when the staff uniformly changed to the works in front of the editors again, almost all the editors were bright.

Not the name, but also the manuscript delivery, and the first page attracted the eyes of many editors.

The title is Hidden Girl.

"This picture?"

"This style is so familiar."

"author."

"Dong Yun."

Suddenly, the conference room exploded!

"Mr. Dong Yun, no!"

"This is the backbone cartoonist of Fengyu Comics!"

"I heard that she didn't rush to renew her contract with Fengyu after her contract expired, but anyway, she left the platform where she worked hard for seven or eight years, and why did we come here to cuttlefish?"

Dong Yun is the contract author of Tianyin Comics, a comic journal of Fengyu Comics.

In Los Angeles, there are three major comic journals, Manying, Tianyin Comics, and Fire Dragon Comics, which belong to Cuttlefish Comics, Windfish Comics and Longya Comics.

As for Dong Yun, she was serialized on Tianyin Comics before that. The upper part of her work "Heart Mystery" ranked first in Tianyin Comics' popularity poll for 45 weeks, and is one of the best girl comics writers in Los Angeles.

All of a sudden, the hearts of all the editors present were relieved.

If such a character wants to come to Cuttlefish, it is normal to cut a work directly on Manying to make way for her. What serialization meeting is she 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 protest at the entrance of the manga club.

Song Jiayu smiled. He had long understood that this would be the case when Dong Yun's work was unveiled at this conference.

He could have arranged for Dong Yun's work to be serialized directly on Manying, but he didn't do that, and let Dong Yun's new work enter the serialization meeting.

The purpose is not for anything else, just to let Su Yan feel what despair is.

After all, he heard that Su Yan was busy during this time, and it seemed that he hoped that the author's new work from the Garden of Words would stand out at this serialization meeting.

Although he does not think that the new author has the ability to draw works of sufficient quality to smash out of the many works of this serialization 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. There is only Man Ying, which 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 Yan saw this work signed by the author Dong Yun, he initially frowned, but after reading the work carefully, the frown actually loosened, and his face His expression seemed to have a faint expression of disapproval.

It shouldn't be!

I've seen Dong Yun's new work Song Jiayu. Whether it's style, plot, or opening, it's all above the standard. It's no worse than the opening of the peak work "Mystery of the Heart". Could it be that the work of the newcomer called Shui Xin that she brought will be better than that? Dong Yun's works are strong?

Ha ha

Song Jiayu shook his head!

Five minutes of reading time passed quickly.

Most of the editors preparing to compete for the opportunity sighed.

It is indeed Dong Yun's new work. Indeed, the quality of the work is not at the same level as the previous works.

Not wrong to lose!

soon

A new work is replaced.

Although everyone has tacitly agreed that Dong Yun's new work "The Hidden Girl" has obtained the opportunity for this serialization.

However, their professionalism makes them seriously examine the following works. After all, if there is a potential work, it can also be serialized in other journals.

"Rurouni Kenshin. Memories!"

The draft submitted, like the hidden girl, was also the original draft, signed by the author, Shui Xin.

"Come." Song Jiayu smiled.

He really wanted to see how this work, which was hoped by Su Yan, could be compared to Dong Yun's new work.
