I just want to draw cartoons quietly

Chen Chu was tall and thin, wearing glasses, he looked a bit delicate.

"You'll know about this kind of thing later, it's useless to talk about it now!" Li Xi said.

Chen Chu was a little embarrassed, and he also knew what Li Xi meant, didn't he just come here to strike up a conversation and talk about it.

There are four serial slots, and Chen Chu doesn't think that Li Xi and him are competitors. Anyway, he is very sure that the work he proposed will get a serial slot, and he also thinks that the work submitted by Li Xi will definitely get a serial slot.

Li Xi is different from other lucky editors. With her work style, if the work is not as good as her eyes, she will not propose serialization of the work.

But on the contrary, basically 60.00% of the works she proposed to be serialized were qualified for serialization.

Now Li Xi is in charge of two popular manga, Natsume and Dream World, or she will not participate in the competition for seats in this serialization meeting. If she comes, she will definitely not submit an ordinary work.

But everyone's discussion was immediately interrupted.

Because the editor-in-chief Deng He spoke, the serialization meeting started.

There are dedicated staff members to distribute copies of each work to the editors!

Although it is Deng He who decides which work is eligible for serialization at the serialization meeting, the opinions of ordinary editors are equally important.

As far as comics are concerned, only those that are liked by the public are good works. It’s just that a person’s preferences often differ greatly from the market situation.

So this kind of meeting is where everyone speaks enthusiastically and expresses their own ideas, and then Deng He makes a decision after listening.

The reading time of each work is 5 minutes, and the discussion time is 5 minutes. If the work is really excellent, the time will be extended accordingly, otherwise, the time will be shortened.

"A total of 54 works have been submitted for this meeting, and the meeting time will be a bit long, so everyone should be mentally prepared!" Deng He said, taking a sip of water.

After finishing speaking, many editors attending the conference lowered their heads and began to read the comic manuscript in front of them. While reading it, they wrote down their opinions on the work with pens......

As time passed, the expressions of many editors in the conference room gradually became serious.

The quality of works submitted at this serial conference is indeed much higher than in the past.

Now that I have read less than ten comics, there are several works that are eye-catching.

But when the meeting lasted for two hours.

A work called Extreme Boys has attracted the attention of many editors.

Of course, the main reason for their attention to this work is the author of this work... Zong Lei.

Looking at the cover again, the editor who proposed to serialize this work is Chen Chu...

Everyone suddenly realized why there was news that the high-level executives valued the serial works proposed by Chen Chu.

Chapter 165 Meeting Two

Looking at it this way, indeed, this work is very interesting. Just because the author is Zong Lei, the popularity of this work cannot be bad.

Zong Lei, a well-known cartoonist in Shanghai a few years ago, before Tang Xin rose to prominence, he and Zhou Qin, the author of Scarlet Abyss, competed together for the title of Water Edge for quite a while, although in the end because of Scarlet Abyss The plot of the abyss was getting better and he lost the chance to compete for the top spot. However, during the serialization of his works at that time, he basically maintained the top three popularity in the water edge for a long time.

It's just that after the previous work was over, he traveled all over the world, and there was no news for two years. I didn't expect him to come back at this serial meeting.

Many editors looked at Chen Chu.

Although I haven't read this work carefully, everyone basically understands that one of the four places is already occupied.

Zong Lei has accumulated two years of work, how could it be possible to collapse at the serialization meeting?

But having said that, the editors quickly set their sights on this work called Extreme Boys.

Generally speaking, this work tells about a fictional city in the work, Fengling City, where there are many extreme sports enthusiasts and various groups formed by them.

Of course, if a group of people engage in extreme sports in reality, they will definitely be regarded as crazy by everyone. The technological progress is so great that they eat too much...

But in the comics, all of this seems to be taken for granted. Groups are fighting extreme sports regardless of the danger of their lives.

And the protagonist is a young man who has never felt the sense of fear since he was a child... because he broke into this group by chance, in order to rescue his good friend who was controlled by the other party due to a misunderstanding, the protagonist agreed to brake the bicycle Destroy, only let the brakes only be used once, the proposal of a downhill race or a test of courage on a very steep mountain in the local area, whoever can't resist the fear and press the brakes, whoever loses... ....

To be honest, the picture is very eye-catching, and many dangerous scenes also make everyone feel nervous.

And according to the setting in the comics, if the mountain descended purely and naturally without braking, it could easily reach a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour.

And in the end.......Because there is no sense of fear, the protagonist of the bicycle is perfectly controlled, until the bicycle reaches the bottom of the mountain, and the brake that can only be used once is not pressed...

This work is obvious that the protagonist's halo is too heavy, but the excellent work can make readers ignore this point. In the comics, the protagonist's face is scratched by splashed stones, and his clothes and hair are blown everywhere by the strong wind. As long as the car overturns At least when he was seriously injured or even died, his calmness did not waver at all.

Such works and protagonist setting can undoubtedly arouse readers' desire to read.

"I heard that Zong Lei became interested in extreme sports after the first work was finished. I didn't expect his new work to have such a theme... There is nothing to say about the plot rhythm of the first three episodes, especially that Painter, I'm a little terrified of seeing those dangerous scenes in the comics."

"That's right, and in recent years, similar sports have also become popular in Long Country. Although many people dare not try it, they can learn about it by watching comics. I think this comic may attract many readers if it is serialized." attention of class lovers.”

After Chen Chu saw everyone's expressions after watching this work, a smug expression appeared on his face.

For this work, Chen Chu placed great hopes on it. He didn't think there would be any problem with getting a serial seat at the serialization meeting. What he really cared about was that after this work was serialized, Xuangui would give It doesn't matter how much support it has.

However, when he looked at Li Xi, he found that Li Xi didn't see any admiration or nervousness in his eyes. Although his expression was indeed serious, it seemed like that.

Chen Chu's heart trembled, and he immediately felt that the work Li Xi submitted this time might not be simple, at least its quality would not be much worse than that of Xtreme Boys, otherwise Li Xi would not have such a generous expression.

The meeting continued, and everyone would have a heated discussion after watching each work, and the situation repeated itself.

By the afternoon of the meeting, a work called Initial D was distributed to the desktop by the staff.

For the previous works, some submitted the name draft, and some submitted the drawn manga manuscript. Generally, the submitted works are about three chapters, no more than five chapters.

But this work is different. The cover information says that the original manga has four chapters, and the name draft has five to ten chapters.

Obviously, within 5 minutes, it is difficult for everyone to completely watch the plot of so much content.

But even so, the comic agency still submitted so many plots to the table for everyone to watch.

"This work takes 10 minutes to read, and everyone can control it by themselves!" Deng He reminded after taking a sip of tea.

When everyone heard the words, they immediately knew that this work must be a work that the high-level officials were optimistic about.

The previous Xtreme Boys only submitted the manuscripts of three chapters, so the reading time was not extended. If Xtreme Boys also submitted the name draft of the tenth chapter like this work, the corresponding reading time will definitely increase.

Initial D?

Weird name!

But no one went deep into the true meaning of the name of this work.

For a work, the most important thing is the quality of the work.

But soon, many editors noticed two other important information points of this work.

Author, Shui Xin!

Suggest a serial editor, Li Xi!

Suishin?

There are almost no people who don't know this name in Xuangui.

One is less than 20 years old, a cartoonist who first came to Shanghai to serialize his first work became a hit, and now occupies the third most popular cartoonist in Shuiyuan Journal.

Such a person is in the manga world of Magic Capital, and it is difficult for you to find a few people who don't know him.

But the question is, isn’t this guy’s work, Natsume’s Book of Friends, currently being serialized on the water edge?

There are many female readers, and the fans are sticky and sticky. You don't need to develop these young lady fans, aunt fans, what new work are you coming here for?

An ordinary cartoonist would have a headache enough to draw one work. Tang Xin, for example, had to suspend publication every few months.

As a young manga artist, it is not bad to have been serialized for such a long time in a highly competitive periodical like Shuiyuan. Do you still want to double-publish?

No matter whether you have this ability or not, there are only [-] serial seats on Water Edge, so you have to give others a chance!

Right now, someone has an opinion.

"Editor Deng, the author of this work, Shuixin, has already published a serialized work in Shuiyuan Journal, and now he..."

"After reading this comic first." Deng He stopped him from speaking, and at the same time faintly revealed his thoughts.

He doesn't seem to care that one of his authors has two serial slots in Shuiyuan journals at the same time.

"But..." The man wanted to say more.

"Read it before commenting!" Deng He raised his eyebrows.

Everyone's thoughts of picking on the work of Initial D were dismissed for the time being, and their attention was first focused on the work itself.

At the beginning of the work, it is indeed relatively plain, mainly about the appearance of several main characters.

Fujiwara Takumi, Natsuki, good friend Takeuchi, the owner of the gas station, and Fujiwara Takumi's father...

But when Akagi REDSUNS came to the gas station to challenge the driver of Qiu Mingshan, the interesting part of this work gradually unfolded.

This is also the reason why Chu Yu asked Li Xi to submit the ten-episode plot. After all, the plot was a bit procrastinated at the beginning, and the match with Keisuke took ten episodes of manga to complete. If the original three-episode manga is submitted to the serial meeting In fact, you may not be able to fully appreciate the charm of this work after reading it......

When the plot of the first episode was over, the first climax of this work appeared. Takahashi Keisuke asked the team's younger brother to compete with the team formed by the seniors of the Fujiwara Takumi gas station, but this team is known as the fastest team in Akinayama However, none of them could keep up with the cars of ordinary members of Keisuke Takahashi's team Akagi REDSUNS.

Keisuke Takahashi's older brother's assessment of Akinayama Rider is...a bunch of trash.

There is no doubt that Qiu Mingshan lost miserably in this exchange match, but this is not over yet. This match can only be called a friendly match, but the main match is on Saturday... If you still lose by then, then The driver of Qiu Mingshan is really shameless...

Under such circumstances, the protagonist Takumi Fujiwara appeared on the stage. After the friendly match, Takumi Fujiwara drove his own AE86 on the way to deliver tofu after the friendly match, and ran into Keisuke Takahashi who was driving his car on Akinayama Road... .....

At the beginning, Takahashi Keisuke thought that the car following him was a member of the team, but later found out that it was a post-86. He was a little annoyed and said bluntly that the car disappeared from the rearview mirror after two curves.. ....

But... the 86 that has been overtaken in a straight line can always catch up in the corners.

Before a sharp bend, Takahashi Keisuke drove the FD to slow down, but the 86 seemed to be unafraid of death, and kept rushing towards the bend at high speed.

When Keisuke thought that the 86 was bound to have an accident, the AE86 in front of him flicked its tail, and a handsome inertial drift surpassed Keisuke Takahashi on this curve......

When the editors saw this, their scalps were numb, and they even squeezed the manga manuscript a little harder.

Chapter 166 Argument

Unlike female editors like Li Xi, which of these male editors doesn't have a car?Most of us have fantasized at one point or another that we are a superb driver, passing a car with our favorite car on the road.

There are even some people who drive in urban areas with a speed limit of [-] kilometers on weekdays, competing with the cars on the side of the road for speed.

As for such comics, Fujiwara Takumi and the others, who are driving the AE86, can easily substitute into the characters, and a feeling of enthusiasm immediately rushed to my heart.

Seeing this, the second chapter of Initial D is over.

In this plot, although Fujiwara Takumi did not show up, and the manga has never mentioned that the driver of the 86 is Fujiwara Takumi, but through some of the previous details, this fact is not difficult to guess.

This unofficial fight between Fujiwara Takumi and Takahashi Keisuke at night not only showed Fujiwara Takumi's superb driving skills as the protagonist, but also avenged the seniors at the gas station by the way, and also protected Akinayama The dignity of the rider.

In the previous plot, because Qiu Mingshan is full of a group of amateur drivers who are crushed by foreign drivers, the depressing feeling brought to the readers is swept away.

only........

But what about the race against Akagi Redsuns on Saturday?

At the end of the second episode, the editors with such doubts immediately had a strong sense of anticipation for the plot of the third episode of this work.

Many editors before reading this manga thought in their hearts how to make this work be eliminated. In fact, like Chen Chu, they thought that the manga submitted by Li Xi would most likely occupy one of the four serial seats, but The author of Li Xi's comics was Shui Xin, which made them see a turning point in this matter.

As the top journal of Xuangui, Shuiyuan, there are only so many serial seats in total, and Shuixin wants to occupy two of them. Not to mention that editors like them have opinions, I am afraid that many cartoonists will also have ideas about Shuixin.

These people naturally want to bypass the quality of the work, but talk about the industry's default rules to kick the initial D out of the game, so that there is an extra seat in the serial conference.

It's just that now, basically, they all forgot what they thought in the beginning, and instead focused all their attention on the plot of this work.

Takahashi Keisuke's match at the gas station on the second day, the AE86 that was much-anticipated on the mountain road on the day of the match.

And I thought it was Takumi Fujiwara's father who was driving the AE86, but all the Akiyama drivers finally found out that it was Takumi Fujiwara who got off the 86 car......

After the start of the race, no matter how much it exceeds 86 on the straight line, it will always be overtaken by 86 on the corners........

And finally at the five consecutive hairpin bends on the downhill road of Akina Mountain, the AE86 driven by Fujiwara Takumi passed Takahashi Keisuke's FD in a strange way without slowing down on the inside of the curve during high-speed driving.

Seeing the editors here, including Chen Chu, there is only one feeling... cool!

Keisuke Takahashi, who has been pretending since his appearance, drove the FD with up to 350 horsepower, but eventually lost to the 150 with only 86 horsepower.

Fujiwara Takumi used pure technology to crush Gao and told the drivers of Akagi REDSUNS who was the fastest person to go down Mt. Akina.

However, all the editors were wondering why the 86 could surpass Takahashi Keisuke's FD at a speed beyond the grip in the inner circle of five consecutive hairpin turns. This is unscientific...

Could this be forcibly giving the protagonist a halo?That would undoubtedly fall into a cliché.

In the plot of the name draft, this is explained immediately. After the game, Keisuke’s brother Takahashi Ryosuke came to the scene and immediately noticed the method of Fujiwara Takumi surpassing Takahashi Keisuke in the five consecutive hairpin turns, but When he said this method, it made all the editors' eyes wide open......

And this kind of operation?
