I just want to draw cartoons quietly

After handing over the manga to Su Yu, and sending the two away, Chu Yu also washed up and lay down on his own bed.

Although I wanted them to stay out of trouble and just rest at his house, but because of the difference between men and women, I didn't have the nerve to say this.

This week, the three of them were quite tired. Fortunately, with the help of Zhao Qinyin, otherwise, it would be impossible for Chu Yu to refine some of the previous manga drafts after drawing the original manuscripts of Chapter Three.

Now that he's done with his work, all it takes is Friday's serial meeting!

Compared with the small troubles of the Garden of Words and Leaves, Chu Yu is definitely not satisfied with being a third-rate cartoonist on Moying, Manying, Luoxing, or even the Dragon Country comic center, or even RB, the birthplace of the world's comics. The island is Chu Yu's future goal.

But the road has to be taken step by step. If you can’t make a name for yourself in places like Los Angeles and Mingcheng, Chu Yuzhen will go to Shanghai to submit manuscripts. I’m afraid people won’t even look at the manuscripts of an unknown cartoonist. Just throw it in the trash.

After all, comics clubs like the Seventh University of Shanghai seldom publish serial comics by newcomers. Basically, only well-known cartoonists from various provinces are eligible to submit to such comics clubs, and they may not necessarily like it!

Chapter 20 meeting

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 original manuscript of Chapter [-]: Rurouni Kenshin’s Memories the day before yesterday. Yesterday, he went back to sleep in the afternoon. By daybreak, he looked much 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 away, would nervously look at her phone from time to time.

After all, today is the day when Cuttlefish Comic Club holds a serialization meeting on the vacant serialization in the comic periodical Manying.

Although the author of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories is Chu Yu, as an assistant, she certainly hopes that this work will be selected by the manga club.

Moreover, because she participated 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 a short plot.

Whether it is the artistry or the content of the work, Zhao Qinyin feels that it is much better than the works serialized on Manying today.

It's just a pity that I only drew the manuscript of three episodes before the serialization meeting... The plot has not yet fully unfolded.

Different from the finished manuscript, the name of the manga that Chu Yu gave Zhao Qinyin for reference has already drawn the content of the ninth chapter, and Zhao Qinyin can be regarded as somewhat aware of the following plot.

From her point of view, if such a work fails to be serialized because the plot of the first three episodes has not yet unfolded, it will definitely not be Chu Yu's loss, but the Cuttlefish Comic Club's loss.

......

At 09:30 in the morning, dozens of editors, large and small, from the Moyu Comics Club all arrived and sat quietly in the conference room.

Many editors did not have suitable works in their hands, so they were not prepared to compete for the vacant seats in Manying. These people looked very relaxed, talking and laughing before the meeting, but more editors, It's a serious face.

Among them, Su Yu was also included.

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

To be honest, regardless of the expected length of [-] episodes of this work, in terms of the quality and depth of the work, it is definitely the most exciting manga that Su Zhe has received in this industry for so many years.

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

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

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

But now, she doesn't think this way anymore, only the second work can have such a high-quality cartoonist, and the word "potential" is obviously too pale to describe it!

At this time, editor-in-chief Pang Feng and deputy editor-in-chief Song Jiayu walked in together.

"Everyone is here, let's start the meeting!"

After the two of them took their seats, they didn't talk nonsense.

"A total of [-] works participated in the competition at this conference."

"Of course, although I said before that the purpose of this meeting is to select works that fill the vacancy of Manying, but if there are many works among them that are relatively good, they can also be used as preparatory works for other journals!"

Next, the staff distributed the name copies of the submitted comic works to the editors one by one.

"It's not the first time that everyone has participated in such a meeting, but even so, I'd like to talk about the selection rules again!"

"Each work has 5 minutes of viewing time. Please fill in your rating for this work in the form on your desktop after watching it."

"Finally, the top five works with the highest scores will be gathered for discussion and voting at the final stage, and the works with the most voted scores will be given the opportunity to be serialized."

"There are 37 people participating in this meeting. Among them, the editor-in-chief's vote in the final round is worth five points, the deputy editor's vote is worth three points, and the rest of the votes are worth one point. Abandoning a certain work will not count!"

Generally speaking, only the editor-in-chief and associate editor-in-chief have a great say in the serialization of ordinary periodicals, which can greatly affect whether the work can be serialized. Only in the journal Manying, the vacancy of its serialization needs to be used in such a serious way. It is selected by voting, which is also the rule of Cuttlefish Comics Club for many years.

Soon, the first work was submitted.

During this time, no one spoke, and everyone concentrated on watching the work in front of them.

The quality of the works that are confident to participate in this kind of conference will naturally not be bad. At least, even the editors who have worked in this industry for many years can hardly find the obvious shortcomings of these works. At most, they can only say a comment that is not excellent , at least on the passing line.

Soon, an hour passed.

After reading the manga name continuously for an hour, many people's foreheads were covered with sweat.

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

Because although there are some excellent works among them, to be honest, from an objective point of view, Su Zhe still thinks that there is a big gap between these works and the memory of Rurouni Kenshin.

Moreover, several of these works, like Chu Yu, did not submit their names for selection, but submitted manuscripts directly.

Of course, the authors of these works are definitely not the explosive players like Chu Yu, but some of the new works have been painted early, and they are only waiting for such a serialization opportunity before they come to contribute.

Time passed, and when the staff uniformly replaced the works in front of the editors again, almost all the editors' eyes lit up.

It's not the name, it's the original manuscript submission, and the first page has attracted the attention of many editors.

The title of the work is The Secret Girl.

"This...screen?"

"This style of painting is very familiar."

"author......"

"Dong Yun..."

All of a sudden, the meeting room exploded!

"Teacher Dong Yun, no way!"

"This is the pillar cartoonist of Fengyu Comic 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 she had worked hard for for seven or eight years. What are you doing here with us Cuttlefish?"

Dong Yun, the contracted author of Tianyin Comics, a comic journal under Fengyu Comics Club.

In Los Angeles, there are three major comic periodicals, Manying, Tianyin Comics, and Huolong Comics, which belong to Cuttlefish Comics, Fengyu Comics, and Longya Comics.

And Dong Yun, before that, was serialized on Tianyin comics. The popularity of the previous work "Mind Mystery" ranked first in Tianyin comics for 45 weeks, and she is one of the best girl comic authors in Los Angeles.

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

If such a character wants to come to Squid, it is normal operation to cut a work directly on Manying and make way for her. What kind of serial meeting does she still participate in!

Isn't this bullying?

Who dare not give her a chance to serialize?

Then tomorrow her fans could send a bunch of bad reviews and protest at the door of the comic agency.

Song Jiayu smiled, he knew long ago that it would be like this when Dong Yun's works were presented at this meeting.

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

The purpose is nothing else, just to let Su Bao feel what despair is.

After all, he heard that Su Yu has been busy these days, and he seems to be hoping that the new work of the author of Yan Ye Zhiting will stand out in this serial meeting.

Although he doesn't think that the newcomer author has the ability to draw works of sufficient quality to break out from the many works in this serial meeting.

But it's always good to be careful, after all, he and Pang Feng, the editor-in-chiefs, have the final say on the chances of serialization in other journals. Only Manying, which is a voting, may have some unexpected situations.

But no matter what, even if the newcomer's work really exploded, it's impossible to surpass Dong Yun's new work!

However, what surprised Song Jiayu was that when Su Yu saw this work signed by the author Dong Yun, he frowned at first, but after carefully reading the work, the frown was relaxed, and his face There seemed to be a hint of disapproval on his face.

This shouldn't be!

Dong Yun's new work Song Jiayu has seen it, whether it is the style of painting, the plot, or the opening, it is above the standard. Dong Yun's works are strong?

Ha ha.......

Song Jiayu shook his head!

5 minutes of reading time goes by quickly.

The editors who were up for the chance mostly sighed.

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

It's not wrong to lose!

soon......

A new work replaces it.

Although everyone has already tacitly agreed in their hearts that Dong Yun's new work "Secret Girl" has already won the opportunity to be serialized this time.

However, their professionalism made them carefully examine the following works. After all, if there are works with potential, they can also be serialized in other journals.

"Rurouni Kenshin. Memories Chapter!"

The submitted drawing is the same as the mysterious girl's submitted manuscript, with the author's signature, Shui Xin.

"Here we come." Song Jiayu smiled.

He really wanted to see how far this work, which Su Yu placed his hopes on, was inferior to Dong Yun's new work...

Chapter 21 Rated!

"I'm dying..."

"As the times are, so are people's hearts..."

On the first page of comics, a handsome man sits on a stone in the woods late at night, looking up at the bright moon, accompanied by these two lines of dialogue.

There are no redundant pictures and dialogues, just the first page of comics, which brings people into the plot.

"not bad......"

"The painting style can also..."

"Seems a bit like a combat comic."

"Is this clothing and attire set in a story on RB Island? It's really rare."

In 5 minutes, read the three-episode manga, and you must not read it very carefully.

Everyone read it very quickly, about five or six seconds to flip through a page. Many editors read this manga called Rurouni Kenshin.

But after half a minute passed.

Everyone present, including editor-in-chief Pang Feng and deputy editor-in-chief Song Jiayu, none of them still had a bored expression on their faces. Some editors who had previously glanced at ten lines even saw the whole stack of manuscripts suddenly turned over in the middle, and started to read from the first chapter.

They are all people who have worked in this industry for many years. If a work is not good, you can basically estimate it by just looking it up.

But again, if a work is good...you can feel it by just reading a few pages.

The young Kenshin who was hunted down by human traffickers was rescued by a man with superb sword skills Hiko Seijuro.

Say goodbye to Jian Xin, who learned swordsmanship from Gu Qing, so far, although the whole work has beautiful pictures, it is still quite satisfactory.

But when the scene turned to the man named Qingli who was killed by Jianxin, he still cared about his fiancée, recalled his fiancée's appearance, and recited his fiancée's name. Chu Yu, who was spending pen and ink here, exhausted the cruelty of this scene with all his strength Expressed through the screen.

The editors who read this have basically entered into this comic.

Because he wanted to save more people with the sword skills he had learned, Jian Xin wanted to leave and had a quarrel with his master Bi Gu Qing.

Compared with Jian Xin who is full of sincerity, Master Bi Gu Qing undoubtedly sees more far-reaching.

The power of one person will eventually be exhausted, and one person cannot save this era. On the contrary, some organizations will use the name of justice to let Jianxin's power be used by those organizations.

"The sword is a murder weapon, and fencing is the art of killing!"

"No matter how flowery the rhetoric is used to cover it, it is always the truth."
