Chapter 29 Painting King

Originally, Meng Zhe planned to complete the 31P version of the short story of Chess in two days on the weekend, but it was finally delayed until Monday night of the second week to complete the work with the help of Chen Xiang and others.

During this period, the last two people who received the invitation, Hu Qianrong and Zheng Xusheng, arrived on Sunday and Monday respectively. Their contributions were not selected into the third issue of "Anime Youth", so it was normal to hesitate for a period of time.

When they met Meng Zhe, their expressions were no different from those of Chen Xiang and Yao Feila before. They all did not believe that Meng Zhe, who was only 12 years old, was the Master Meng Jiji they admired.

However, this time, Meng Zhe did not need to prove it by himself. Chen Xiang and Yao Feila had explained for him. Coupled with Jiang Ling's help next to him, Hu Qianrong and Zheng Xusheng could only be skeptical and accepted the fact that Meng Zhe was Meng Jiji.

In this way, the first batch of future cartoonists gathered by the animation teenagers finally arrived.

Then Meng Zhe began to think, since there are already so many people, do we need to name this group?

Summer Island?

Well... not powerful enough, not ostentatious enough.

Look at Huang Yulang's 'Jade Dynasty'. How powerful the name is!

So, Meng Zhe grabbed his scalp and racked his brains to continue to think about the name. Finally, he thought of three team names that he felt good - 'Attraction', 'Morning News' and 'Ji Xiangtian'.

After thinking about it, Meng Zhe took out the two names he thought and told them to Kong Lan.

"Xiao Zhe, do you mean that the cartoonists under our magazine form a team and then appear as a team?"

Kong Lan was very interested in Meng Zhe's idea, and she thought of more things.

"No, everyone still uses their own pseudonym to publish comics, but they need to put the team's LOGO on their published works. In this way, as soon as readers see this LOGO in the future, they will know that this is the work of our magazine's cartoonists..."

Meng Zhe nodded and said that he basically meant that. In fact, he didn't think too much.

"Xiao Zhe, your idea is very good! We should strive to make each of the works of the cartoonists in the team become excellent masterpieces, so that the team's Peugeot will gradually be regarded by readers as synonymous with high-quality comics! No, it will definitely become a famous comic brand!"

Kong Lan interrupted Meng Zhe's words. She excitedly followed Meng Zhe's words. She really felt that Meng Zhe's idea was very good.

"Uh--"

Meng Zhe blinked his eyes. He was hesitating whether to tell Kong Lan. In fact, it was just a whim.

Before Meng Zhe could consider the results, Kong Lan had followed the idea and continued to expand the meaning of these selected team names: "Yes, I don't think this LOGO should be given to those cartoonists at the beginning. Only those comics that have obtained the top three favorite works in the three to five issues can be qualified to use this LOGO; then, the authors who have obtained the top five of several issues of survey data can continue to use this LOGO..."

"In this case, what about those short stories?"

Now, Meng Zhe has been thinking down with Kong Lan's thoughts.

"Short stories... Don't short stories have the opportunity to get a long series? If it doesn't work, why don't we just follow the Japanese Tezuka Award and set up a short story award? How's it going?"

Kong Lan frowned and thought for a time, and then said her opinion.

"It's a little early to set up awards. I think too much... It's enough for now to get a long serialization opportunity."

Meng Zhe changed his mind again. There is a chance for short stories to become long serials, so it doesn't matter without the certification of the team logo.

Certification?

Meng Zhe suddenly found that under Kong Lan's 'mystration', his original idea of starting a team name had become something similar to the ISO quality certification system.

First-class enterprises make standards, second-rate enterprises establish brands, and third-rate enterprises engage in production... It seems that we and Sister Kong Lan have begun to make standards?

Meng Zhe couldn't help but show a funny expression. He didn't have a chance to participate in this kind of high-end thing in his last life.

So, Meng Zhe's enthusiasm for participating in the formulation of this standard became even higher. He even suggested that Kong Lan say that if other magazines also publish comic magazines in the future, this logo can be issued to excellent works serialized in other comic magazines...

After thinking about this, Kong Lan thought about it carefully and gave his opinion that it was feasible. However, the prerequisite is that Tianjiao Society wants to become the hegemon in the industry. Even if it is not an oligarch, it must be the heavyweight of the British Society...

After finally setting all the selection rules, Kong Lan made it difficult to choose the name of the animation team, because she felt that Meng Zhe's three names were quite good.

In desperation, Kong Lan simply gathered Chen Xiang's five people. After making it clear what the name was for, he asked Chen Xiang's five people to make a choice.

After getting an accurate explanation, Chen Xiang's five people were very enthusiastic about their participation. They debated with each other about what name should be used. In the end... 'Attraction' got three votes, 'Ji Xiangtian' got two votes, and 'Morning News' got one vote.

"Well, the name of this certification logo is confirmed to be attractive! Everyone, I hope you can live up to the expectations of our magazine and become the first cartoonists to obtain the certification logo.

When the selection result came out, Kong Lan made a decision, and she encouraged Chen Xiang and others to say something.

"President, it is absolutely impossible for us to get this certification mark in the first batch."

Chen Xiang said with a bitter face, leaving the Sichuan-style Mandarin.

"Chen Xiang, why don't you even have this confidence? You should already know that in the first issue of "Anime Boy" next year, your "Little Mountain Day" will get the opportunity to serialize. If you don't even have the confidence to get the 'attractive' certification logo, I'm afraid your serialization will be cut in half!"

Kong Lan obviously doesn't like to listen to Chen Xiang's words. She thinks that this kind of speech is too inferior - she doesn't even have this confidence. Is he still a man?

"No, no, I'm not without confidence, president. I mean, the first person to get the attraction certification mark will definitely be Mr. Jiji--"

Kong Lan's words scared Chen Xiang, who was originally going to be funny. He saw Kong Lan's decisive female strongman, so he quickly explained.

"That's good. Work hard, Chen Xiang. Personally, I think it's not bad for you to get Xiaoshan after revision, but whether you can get the approval of readers depends on how hard you have to work!"

After listening to Chen Xiang's explanation, Kong Lan's face slowly calmed down. She comforted Chen Xiang like this, and then turned back to the president's office.

"Mr. Jiji, President Kong was really awesome just now! I almost scared me to death..."

When Kong Lan went far away, Chen Xiang stuck out his tongue and said to Meng Zhe.

"Ha ha, Sister Lan, she is like this. No one will stay at work, but it's different outside of working hours..."

Meng Zhe comforted Chen Xiang with a smile, and after answering a few painting questions raised by the other four people, he also returned to his own studio and began to work.

Unfortunately, Meng Zhe picked up the pen and finished a manuscript, and Kong Lan hurried into the studio with a comic magazine.

"Xiao Zhe, when Uncle Song went to buy office supplies just now, he accidentally saw this comic magazine that had just been tried out in the bookstore. This magazine is awesome! It's just the first issue of the trial issue, and it has been able to be sold to our small county..."

Meng Zhe turned his head and saw such a familiar but strange name - Painting King Boy.
