Chapter 102 Annual Meeting Anecdotes 1
On September 26, Meng Zhe, who was busy preparing for the first annual meeting of cartoonists of "Anime Boy", received the original manuscript sent by Zhang Heng again.
So after opening the big envelope, Meng Zhe saw a name that made him messy in the wind - Infinite Horror.
God, earth!
Although Meng Zhe wrote two letters to Zhang Heng, Meng Zhe did not mention the name "Infinite Horror" on which letter, but now the name has appeared.
After opening and seeing the portrait, Meng Zhe saw the names that made him familiar with: Chu Xuan, Zheng Zhi, Zhang Heng... After the repainting of the short story of "Infinite Horror", Zhang Heng took Zheng Zhi as the first protagonist and drew an infinite flow story related to the ghost of A Chinese Ghost Story. It can be seen that Zhang Heng has obviously seen the 91st version of A Chinese Ghost Story, so the scenes in the comics are very similar to those in the movies, but the characters are completely different, so there is no need to worry about being accused of plagiarism.
To be honest, Zhang Heng's storyboard is not very good, and the lines are slightly sluggish, but the story full of blood and ** has made up for the shortcomings of this part?
You should know that although Meng Zhe has been playing for more than a year, China's local comics are still just starting at this stage, and now there are five formal comic magazines across the country because of Project 5155 - so many magazines, how many cartoonists do you need to fill the gap?
Even if it is "Anime Boy" with a lot of talents, because the information magazine "Anime Time" is about to be founded, and all the short stories have to be transferred to the animation time, so the long serials are not enough.
So compared with the countless cartoonists in Japan who squeeze their heads and can't get serialization opportunities, the current Chinese local cartoonists are really happy. They only need that the painting is not lower than the average water quality, the storyboard is not too bad, and the story is not too bad... You can get serialization in comic magazines!
And Zhang Heng's painting skills and storyboards are no less than the average water products, and his storytelling ability is much higher than others. Meng Zhe has no reason not to give him a chance to publish short stories - this is different from typing Yao Feila's short stories back and repainting, because Zhang Heng is still in the name of a newcomer.
After reading the original manuscript of the whole comic and confirming that there is at least no problem with the story, Meng Zhe took the original manuscript to Du Yiwei, the preliminary editor of the magazine.
"Sister Huai Liu, help me check this manuscript. Is there any suspicion of plagiarism?"
While speaking, Meng Zhe handed over the original manuscript of the comic version of "Infinite Horror" in his hand to Du Yiwei's table full of all kinds of manuscripts on his desk.
"Immediately!"
Du Yiwei, who edited the nickname 'Huai Liu', chewed bubble gum and answered vaguely. While speaking, she put the red pencil in her right hand on her hair, and then reached out to take the comic manuscript of Infinite Horror.
Just after reading two pages, Du Yiwei made a surprised voice: "Huh? This Zhang Heng is very powerful. The original style of "The Slaughter" is very dark. Now such a change seems to be suitable for publication on animation teenagers. Friendship and blood are no longer lacking, and even the content of loyalty to the country is involved. The story is much more interesting than the original... Xiao Meng, editor-in-chief, I think now In this infinite horror, it is very suitable for expanding the growth series! And the results should be very good after the serialization.
"No one can tell the serial thing." After Meng Zhe said something, he repeated the question just now: "Is there any place suspected of plagiarism?"
"No!" Huai Liu quickly turned to the last page, and then shook his head to make a conclusion: "Except for the Lanruo Temple in the middle of the painting, which is a little similar to the Lanruo Temple in the Hong Kong movie A Chinese Ghost Story, other places should be original."
"Well, I know Sister Huai Liu!" Since even Huai Liu didn't find a problem, there should be no problem with this comic version of Infinite Horror.
After expressing his gratitude to Du Yiwei, Meng Zhe saw that Du Yiwei seemed to continue to read the original manuscript carefully, so he said, "Sister Huai Liu, help me take this infinitely horrible manuscript to Uncle Song later."
"No problem! No problem at all!" Meng Zhe's words immediately aroused Du Yiwei's fierce response.
However, after waiting patiently for Du Yiwei's answer, Meng Zhe said something that made Du Yiwei unexpected: "Since Sister Huai Liu likes this infinite horror, it's up to you to do Zhang Heng's responsibility."
"What?" Du Yiwei looked at Meng Zhe in surprise and almost swallowed the bubble gum in her mouth because she was too surprised: "Xiao Meng, editor-in-chief, I really like this comic. But I'm the editor of the preliminary review of the comics. Isn't it... a little non-compliance?"
For Du Yiwei's concerns, Meng Zhe simply dispelled them, and he also unintentionally stimulated them: "In the rules and regulations of the magazine, you can't be a responsible editor without the comic preliminary editor. Of course, if you think Sister Huai Liu is incompete, I'll just let other editors do it.
"I'll do it!" Although Meng Zhe was just a light and excited, Du Yiwei immediately blew up. She didn't care that she was an employee and Meng Zhe was the boss's problem. She raised her eyebrows and provoked Meng Zhe's words: "Editor-in-chief Meng, at that time, your stupid guardian of the Three Kingdoms was suppressed by this infinite horror book. No, don't cry!"
Ha?
Crying nose?
Just kidding... The editor-in-chief is in his early thirties. Will he cry because of this kind of thing?
However, the TV series of Romance of the Three Kingdoms has just been finished. In this episode of the survey, our painting "Guardian of the Three Kingdoms" immediately fell to the fourth place of my favorite work. This kind of thing, this kind of thing... Auntie can't stand it!
Yao Feila's "Digimon", because he drew a small **, this issue of Wang Meng Zhe can't bear to read it. Oda Eiichiro's "ONE-piece", the second issue of serialized noun actually ranked second, which is a little difficult for Meng Zhe to accept!
The next issue of Kishimoto's "World of Great Struggle" version of Naruto will be serialized on the anime teenagers. In the short story, you can get the second good score of "The World of Great Battle". Will the results be worse when the long story is serialized?
Therefore, Meng Zhe feels that if there is no surprise in the reader survey of the next animation teenager, he may not be able to save the top three.
Just a year after the magazine was founded, Meng Zhe, known as a 'genius young cartoonist', was squeezed out of the top three of readers' favorite works. Would Meng Zhe not care?
Shit--, how can you not care!
Meng Zhe cares about it, although he won't cry... So, if Zhang Heng under Du Yiwei's **, he will bring "Infinite Horror" to suppress Meng Zhe's "The Guardian of the Three Kingdoms" or something... This kind of thing is terrible!
Jiang Lang did everything... The back wave of the Yangtze River pushed the front wave, and the front wave died on the beach or something... "Oh, Xiao Meng, editor-in-chief, you look a little bad." Looking at Meng Zhe, who had fallen into the imagination, Du Yiwei, who consciously pulled back a game, said with a smile.
So, Meng Zhe, who deliberately provoked Du Yiwei just now, clenched his fist and said passionately, "I'm going to draw a new short story!"
Meng Zhe's serious expression scared Du Yiwei. At this time, she finally remembered that Meng Zhe was the editor-in-chief of the magazine, and she was just a new editor, so Du Yiwei tried to remedy this problem: "What, Xiao Meng's editor-in-chief was just joking, so don't take it seriously? Although the popularity of fools is indeed declining..."
Hey, Du Yiwei's remedial words, especially the last sentence that the fool's popularity declined or something, it's better not to say it.
Meng Zhe has completely made up his mind to draw a new short story!
According to the schedule set by Kong Lan and Meng Zhe, the consulting magazine Animation Time will be launched in January next year, and then it will continue to exist in the form of a monthly magazine. At that time, the short comics originally published in Anime Boy will be transferred.
The short story "Infinite Horror" submitted by Zhang Heng now will be serialized on "Anime Boy" before the revision, about two to three issues later, that is, at the end of October or the beginning of November.
Then if there is no surprise, the long comic version of "Infinite Horror" will start to be serialized in early January, that is, the first issue of "Anime Boy" in 1995.
That is to say, Meng Zhe needs to draw a short story in about the same time, and then serialize it in the first issue in 1995... In my words, it is obviously a little invincible, so Meng Zhe plans to open a 'little vest' at that time and draw new comics with the name of the new comic author. In this way, it will not be shameful to win or lose. ...Well, wait!
If two people compare, it seems to be boring?
Why don't we take the cartoonist's annual meeting and the support for "Anime Time" as the reason, to gather the serial cartoonists on "Anime Boy" and those with the best short story comics writers together to draw a short story, and then put it on the first issue of "Anime Time" to compete?
In this way, it can not only make a comparison, but also promote "Anime Boy"... As soon as this idea came out of Meng Zhe's mind, it was no longer lingering!
So, Meng Zhe, who was shining with excitement in his eyes, stared at Du Yiwei with a bright smile: "Sister Huai Liu, thank you! You made me think of a very interesting idea!"
After saying that, Meng Zhe didn't wait for Du Yiwei to react, so he ran to Kong Lan to discuss this matter like a gust of wind.
... After discussing with Kong Lan about the 'Serial Comics and Excellent Short Story Cartoonist Competition' in "Anime Time" launched in January next year, Meng Zhe was directly arrested by Kong Lan - on the founding issue of "Anime Boy", it is clearly said that every year The annual meeting of serial cartoonists, excellent short story cartoonists and enthusiastic readers will be held, so the animation youth magazine has begun to prepare for the annual meeting since early September.
The matter of serial cartoonists is the easiest to solve. Except for Guangdong Eleven Tiger and Ah Heng of Jinhong Comics, who have not come to the Animation Youth Magazine so far, other serial cartoonists are in this small Wufeng County, so it is not troublesome to organize them at all.
However, those short story cartoonists who have won the top three awards such as the "Ches Academy Award" and "Red Theme Collection Competition" are scattered all over the country. Similar to the excellent short story cartoonists, there are also more than 100 enthusiastic readers selected from the enthusiastic readers who send the reader questionnaire in each issue... In two or three days, this hundred and dozens of people will come to Wufeng County to attend the author's annual meeting.
In order not to be cold at that time, you need to think about all kinds of small activities in advance and choose people with the ability to host. For this reason, Meng Zhe, who was caught by Kong Lan, racked his brains to think about some game projects - what the award-winning "Killing of the Three Kingdoms" competition, the award-winning "killing game" competition, and the funny version of various award ceremonies, etc.
As for the person with the ability to host, Meng Zhe, who was arrested by Kong Lan, changed his hand and caught Xiao Zhao, the editor of the magazine, who is good at handling foreign affairs and has a very happy appearance.
After dealing with these things, Meng Zhe was caught by Yan Kai with the revised short manuscript, so Meng Zhe began to read Yan Kai's new short comics.
When he opened it, Meng Zhe found that the original name of "Fairy Sword 1\2" was modified by Yan Kai to "Breally Become a Sword Fairy".
"This name is almost the same."
After reading the name, Meng Zhe made a comment.
The salt boiled water, which was originally very nervous, immediately showed a relieved expression after hearing Meng Zhe's words. In order to think of the name salt boiled water, he had a lot of dead brain cells!
As for the content of the manuscript, Meng Zhe just hurriedly scanned it and didn't read it again. After some messy manuscripts were neatly, Meng Zhe gave the final judgment to Yan Kaixia, who was worried about the application: "No problem. Take the manuscript to your editor-in-charge, and you can start drawing the long text now."
Meng Zhe's words made the salt boiled water, which had been dormant for several months but did not take out any works after being dug up by Kong Lan into the animation teenager, couldn't help but jump up and scream!
There is no comic published, but they enjoy the treatment of serial cartoonists. How can no one talk about this situation behind their backs? And how can he have no pressure in his heart with salt boiled water?
Now it's all right. This new cartoon, which has been painstakingly drawn for so long, has finally won the nod of Mr. Jiji. Is there anything more exciting than this? Is there anything else?!
If it weren't for Meng Zhe's next to him, he might have made other more extreme celebrations.
After more than ten minutes, the excited salt boiled water finally calmed down. After a good meal of thanks to Meng Zhe, the salt boiled water finally went back with his drawing.
After this delay, Meng Zhe obviously had no time to continue drawing comics, so he had to pack up and go home to wash and go to bed.
The next day, invited short story cartoonists and enthusiastic readers began to arrive one after another.
In order to help with the reception, Meng Zhe handed over a leave note to Guan Yuluo early after the morning exercise and asked Guan Yuluo to help ask the head teacher for leave.
Meng Zhe, a talented animation teenager, personally led people to pick up the car, and his humble and polite attitude made many short story cartoonists and enthusiastic readers who came early feel very surprised and moved.
In everyone's mind, since Meng Zhe, a talented comic teenager, is young and ambitious, there will be some rampant situations. Last semester, Meng Zhe, a talented animation teenager, was stabbed in the arm, so many readers had to suspend the publication vaguely until the inside story... He dared to be cruel, no, he almost kicked other people's talented comic teenager Meng Jiji. It seems that it is not easy to fight bravely at all, and how Why do you look like a modest gentleman like a little adult?!
Then, after eating the meal, Meng Zhe, who took everyone around in Tianjiao Club, Jiji Animation Studio and the residences of cartoonists, let everyone know his funny and funny side.
In the evening, when the first prize-winning "Three Kingdoms Kill" competition was held, he was eliminated in the first round because of his poor card skills and bad luck. Meng Zhe, who lost a disgraced face but kept trying to struggle to death, let the guests see the other side of his childishness.
After a while, these short story cartoonists and enthusiastic readers who came to the annual meeting saw the two big loli of the Jiang family who came to find Meng Zhe... Looking at Meng Zhe, who was intimate with the two big loli, everyone finally understood why Meng Zhe, a talented comic teenager and seemingly gentle, was stabbed. The knife incident and the incident of kicking people.
If it's us, we will kick it hard!
Of course, everyone can only think about this idea in their hearts. Basically, no one dares to come up with other ideas - why? Because Mr. Jiji is too 'ferocious'!
Then, the highlight of the first annual meeting of "Anime Boy" began.
After the serial cartoonists made a speech, the funny version of the annual animation teenager award ceremony began.
The first award was the Animation Youth's Most Filial Cartoonist of the Year Award. The winner was Guangdong Eleven Tigers, the author of Labor's Most Glorious. He won the prize of a leading crutch because his mother was in poor health.
The next winner is Yao Feila, and the award is the Most Men's Most Men's Cartoonist of the Year Award.
As for the reason for the award, it is naturally the incident that Yao Feila's fanatical fan Bu Qiming came to court for love with roses.
The third award is the Most Popular Cartoonist of the Year Award, and before the winner of this award is announced, everyone's eyes have fallen on Meng Zhe
