: Recruitment

“Plot? New idea? Being said so by a group of amateur cartoonists really makes me feel uneasy.” Facing the aggressive questioning of Mizuno Shuhei and the others, Su Jie just smiled contemptuously. The expressions of the cartoonists competing on the same stage changed.

Before they could react, Su Jie slammed “Oupai Hunter” on the table and shouted deafeningly: “What is a plot? What is a novelty? Only when the audience and readers like it can we be qualified to talk about the plot and the plot.” What’s new? The sales data of “Oupai Hunter” for half of this morning, Ying Lili, come and tell them the answer.”

Su Jie blinked at Ying Lili. Although Ying Lili was a little nervous on this occasion, seeing that Su Jie was still so ‘calm and composed’, even so strong, she couldn’t help but feel more at ease. Following Su Jie’s direction The question said: “A total of 1,500 copies of Opie Hunter were printed, and they were all sold out this morning.”

“Very well, if this is not enough to prove the plot and novelty of Opie Hunter? How can there be anything else to prove it? The audience will not pay for fake and inferior products.”

Su Jie glanced at Mizuno Zhouping and the others. The sharp eyes showed Su Jie’s strong self-confidence.

The few people didn’t speak for a while, and they are probably still thinking about how to answer. In fact, Su Jie has secretly changed a concept here, linking the plot and novelty with the sales volume of the work.

“This…this is different. Erotic books can’t be generalized. The audience bought this European hunter not because of the plot and novelty.”

After all, those who can stand here are not stupid. Nagai Takashi and Mizuno Shuhei looked at each other, and soon discovered the loopholes in Su Jie’s words.

“No, no, in my opinion, this proves that the plot of Opie Hunter is excellent. This is a second fan creation based on the original work. Most buyers know the plot of the original work, but they still choose to buy it? What if the plot is not new? If it’s not exciting enough, will readers waste money on repeated purchases?”

Su Jie said unhurriedly, he insisted on linking the plot and sales, otherwise, strictly speaking, no matter how good Ying Lili’s erotic book is, the gold content in the plot will be weaker than that of normal comics, you see But in that erotic book, the plot is the majority, and the strong action scenes basically occupy the theme.

“Mr. Su explained, Mr. Mizuno, what do you think?”

The hostess looked at Su Jie with admiration, and then turned the microphone on Mizuno Shuhei, who was the most vehement opponent just now.

“In short… In short, erotic books are not elegant, they can only develop in dark corners, and their sales are just extensions that mislead people’s children.” Mizuno Shuping’s face was slightly sweating, he did not expect Su Jie to be eloquent So powerful, I can’t talk about him anymore.

“You have to say this to the tens of thousands of doujinshi book lovers at the exhibition outside. Oupai Hunter is expected to sell 100,000 copies in the three-day doujinshi exhibition. If such sales are considered insignificant, Then how many people can surpass it, Mizuno Shuhei, are you?”

Anyway, boasting that there is no need to pay taxes, Su Jie boasted about the sales volume, and looked at Mizuno Shuping with disdain.

“One hundred thousand copies, you dare to say such unreasonable things.” Mizuno Shuhei almost jumped up, and sold 100,000 copies of the work in a few days. Su Jie is too good at blowing.

“Don’t worry about how much it can sell. Anyway, it is an indisputable fact that European hunters are loved by readers.”

Su Jie and Mizuno Shuping stared at each other, not at all ashamed of bragging and being exposed.

Mizuno Zhouping and the others were speechless, but in fact, even if the data Su Jie said was outrageous, the real European hunters were also selling well, but it was not as exaggerated as Su Jie said.

“The situation is like this. There is an old saying in China that sales volume does not mean everything, but sales volume can explain everything. The eyes of the masses are discerning, and readers have standards in their hearts to measure the excellence of works. Readers who buy Oupai Hunter The truth has been restored with the sales volume.” Su Jie said confidently.

Was there such a saying in ancient China?

Many people complained in their hearts.

“That’s the end of my introduction. If you still want to mess around, wait until the sales volume of your works exceeds that of Opie Hunter.”

In the end, Su Jie made a final decision. He chose to end this topic. The main reason was that he had talked too much. Su Jie was afraid that he would not be able to handle it, so it was a wise choice to end it now.

After Su Jie finished speaking, the hostess smiled lightly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Su, for your answer. Next, we will invite Mr. Gu Chuanming to give an introduction.”

Then the other four amateur cartoonists began to introduce their own works and their understanding of cartoons one by one, trying their best to give a good impression to the judges below, and strive to get the only place to qualify.

Perhaps it was Su Jie who took the lead before. The performance of these people was not very good, especially the difficult questions that Su Jie raised from time to time were even more difficult to answer.

The novels created by these people include common types such as science fiction, comedy, and romance. Su Jie’s knowledge and understanding of cartoonists is not what they can.In comparison, countless manga masters in the previous life left the most valuable experience in Su Jie’s memory, leaving them speechless when Su Jie often asked them.

In the end, even if these people called in foreign aid, including editors and professional cartoonists, it was still difficult to compete with Su Jie. Their level was like hitting a stone with a pebble, not at the same level as Su Jie, who had the peak knowledge of comic development.

After the last set of procedures, several people took turns to finish their speeches. Except for Su Jie, the other four had bad faces.

After the game on the stage is completed, the judges will start scoring.

A total of 25 comic editors and 30 professional cartoonists, fifty-five people scored. It is hardly surprising that Su Jie’s outstanding performance allowed him to get the highest score.

When the results were announced, Su Jie remained calm. Ying Lili covered her mouth in ecstasy. As for Mizuno Zhouping and the others, they were downcast and were kicked out of the game by Su Jie.

Debates were held one after another. After the second round of fifty amateur cartoonists, only ten people were left to advance to the third round. This terrifying elimination rate is enough to show that people who want to become professional cartoonists Difficult, not everyone can cheat like Su Jie.

Su Jie originally planned to return to the seat, but Su Jie performed too well just now. At the invitation of the hostess, he followed Ying Lili to stay on it. In the second round of graduation, Su Jie almost showed a crushing performance. The pressing strength is more eye-catching than Yinglili.

Su Jie doesn’t plan to continue to stand out, his own task is completed, and we will see Ying Lili’s own performance later. I think there are only ten people left. The third round should be when the cards are revealed, and there won’t be too many eliminations , otherwise this specially created comic contest for newcomers would be meaningless.

The remaining ten cartoonists stood on the high platform. They were the only candidates for promotion to the third round. Standing next to them was the hostess, who was announcing the rules for the third round: “First of all, congratulations everyone for entering the third round. Being able to come here is enough to show that you are all excellent cartoon talents, and the third round is the last step for all cartoonists to turn from amateur to professional.”

Speaking of this, the hostess paused for a moment, looked at the 25 manga editors below, pointed to them one by one and said: “There are 25 editors of manga magazines under the stage, “Weekly Shonen Jump” and “Monthly Shonen” “New Century”, “Jiaoxi Bookstore”, “Bailang Club”, etc., each represent a comic magazine, and the next twenty-five editors will represent the comic magazine company they belong to, and recruit you. If you agree, I will formally sign a contract with the comic company and become a professional cartoonist who serializes works in comic magazines.”

The ten amateur cartoonists are all looking forward to and excited. They have come here all the way, isn’t it just to be picked up by comic magazines and become professional cartoonists?

“Kawano-san, are you willing to come to our “Bailang Club” for development? We can give you a regular newcomer treatment contract, which will increase depending on your future achievements.”

“Our “Lesoga” comic magazine also welcomes Kawano-san, and the treatment is…”

“Yoshii-kun, I have seen your work “Three Kilometers in a Different Place”. It just so happens that our “New Century” comic magazine is in the style of science fiction. Welcome…”

The hostess here has just finished the introduction, and the manga editors can’t wait to select candidates below. The manga artists who can make it to the third round are all outstanding, and the particularly outstanding ones are favored by the editors. Competing for higher salaries, what is most important in the 21st century – talent.

“I’m sorry, editor Cauchy, but I still choose to join “Water Phoenix.”

“I am willing to join the “Bailang Society”.”

“I…”

Soon, most of the ten cartoonists who entered the third round made their own choices, joined their favorite comic magazines, and became professional cartoonists.

There are also two or three people who have never been interested, and Ying Lili is one of them.

****

“Look at me, I’m not the same!” Su Jie was stared at by Ying Lili for the fifth time, and he spread his hands helplessly. The comic magazine was not opened by himself, and Su Jie couldn’t interfere with the selection.

“What to do, what to do.” Ying Lili was in a hurry, and knew that what Su Jie said was the truth, but if she failed here, everything would return to the original point, and all the previous efforts were in vain. Ying Lili was very unwilling.

“It’s not over yet, don’t worry.” Su Jie looked down the stage, and when he saw Zhenhui, there was questioning in his eyes.

Zhenhui was also looking at Su Jie. After seeing Su Jie, the other party shook his head at Su Jie. The meaning was obvious, but he didn’t intend to recruit Ying Lili.

This is not surprising. Other comic companies have made moves, but Marie is as stable as Mount Tai. “Weekly Shonen Jump” is now the leader of Japanese comic magazines. I don’t know how many cartoonists want to join. If it is not for the excellent talents and works, is it right? Will consider making a move, this can be seen from the fact that Zhenhui has not spoken to recruit people from the beginning to the end.

Su Jie sighed in his heart. After all, Ying Lili drew erotic comics. There were so many editors present, no one had the courage to sign Ying Lili, and comic magazines were not allowed to serialize erotic comics, so the initial stage of this road was more difficult than others The difficulty is too high. If others start with a difficult level, Ying Lili starts with a hell difficulty.

“Look, as I said, no one who draws erotic comics will bring trouble to his company.”

Hideyoshi Yoshida just invited a manga artist to join the job, and saw that no one cares about it on stageYing Lili said to Marie with a smile.

“Our magazine focuses on comics with the theme of blood, adventure, and friendship. This is not suitable for us, otherwise I will consider it.” Zhenhui is actually a bit entangled. Judging from Su Jie’s help just now, Su Jie and Ying Lili have a very bad relationship Generally speaking, it’s a pity that this kind of thing is not something she can agree to, and the style of “Weekly Shonen Jump” is not suitable for Ying Lili.

Yoshida Hideo looked at Minano Tsunade again, and was about to prove to him that he had a unique vision. Minano Tsunade suddenly stood up, and said crisply, “Ms. Sawamura, I wonder if you would like to come to our “Monthly Shonen” for development?”

Jie Yeling’s words made the scene quiet for a few seconds, and then the noise blew past like a hurricane.

Many people find it inconceivable that “Monthly Shonen” is not as good as “Weekly Shonen Jump”, but it is also one of the top three manga magazines in Japan, and there is never a shortage of excellent manga artists to contribute. In the market where big fish eat small fish in the comics industry, their recruitment of talents is usually smooth, and strictly speaking, there is no need to participate in this kind of competition.

Who would have thought that Minano would send out an invitation suddenly, and the target would still be Ying Lili, whose entry was an erotic book, so many people were puzzled.

“I, me, really?” Happiness came so suddenly that Ying Lili was still a little dizzy. Like everyone else, she couldn’t believe it, and wondered if she had heard it wrong.

“”Monthly Shonen” is currently focusing on serializing several harem-like comics. Miss Sawamura, as an erotic artist, you must be the one with such themes. I hope you can come and show what you have learned.”

The loli editor-in-chief Minanoshou nodded, and extended an olive branch to Ying Lili. As long as Ying Lili agrees, the door of “Monthly Boys” will be opened to her from now on.

Will Yinglili not agree? Of course it is impossible.

Seeing that the girl didn’t hesitate any more, she said excitedly, “I agree to join “Monthly Boys”. Although I haven’t drawn harem comics, I will work hard.”

The other nine amateur cartoonists on the stage suddenly showed envious and jealous expressions, wishing to replace Ying Lili. After joining “Monthly Boys”, Ying Lili started much higher than them.

“Congratulations, you will become a professional cartoonist in the future.” Su Jie is also happy for Ying Lili. Being able to join a well-known comic magazine like “Monthly Boys” is something that many cartoonists dream of but is difficult to achieve. Satisfied.

Ying Lili rushed over to give Su Jie a hug, her little face flushed.

“”Monthly Shonen” wants to develop harem comics, which is a problem worth noting.” Marie took a look at Minano, from which she sensed the next development direction of “Monthly Shonen”, and as a competitor, she had to pay attention.

“Okay, all the editors have chosen to recruit, then…”

The hostess stood up and was about to end the newcomer manga competition. Before she could finish speaking, she saw the three-none girl Yano Tang with piercing eyes. road:

“Mr. Su Jie, would you like to come to “Monthly Boys” for development.
