Chapter 3: High School Entrance Examination

Yet in the weeks that followed, the flashes of inspiration never came again.

If it wasn't for the picture still in his hand, Meng Huo would have thought he was daydreaming. He was so worried about how to get back that feeling that he didn't even continue drawing manga.

He decided to submit the first chapter first. Two days before the senior high school entrance examination, Meng Huo found information on manga submissions in a bookstore, and two companies entered his field of vision.

One is Longteng Company, a comprehensive publishing company. This company mainly publishes literary works and novels, and its comics industry is also an industry giant, monopolizing almost all well-known cartoonists. The second is Phoenix Company, which focuses on comic publishing. This company's scale and market are not as good as Longteng, but it pays the highest remuneration for newcomer cartoonists.

Meng Huo submitted the manuscript to Phoenix Company. He felt that Longteng Company, which monopolizes the resources of excellent novels, might not be interested in him, and the manuscript fee is also very important.

The editorial department of Phoenix Company is in Ninghai City, the second largest city in China. There is still some time before the delivery of the manga and the release of the results. Meng Huo put his mind on the high school entrance examination in Jiangnan Province.

The entire senior high school entrance examination lasted for three days, and his photographic memory made Meng Huo feel like a fish in water. He believed that he could get full marks in most of the subjects, but Meng Huo didn't want to exaggerate. He deliberately left mistakes in each test paper, and none of them got full marks.

Chinese is arranged on the last day, and it is the most important subject in Huaxia.

Meng Huo estimated the scores of the previous exams. He felt that the scores were still too high. He could lower it a bit, as long as he could get into most high schools.

However, something unexpected happened. Not long after the exam bell rang, a flash of inspiration appeared again.

At that time, Meng Huo was writing his own name, and he felt a blur in front of his eyes, and the context of the entire test paper became as clear as a slow-motion projection, and he was even confident in how to solve the questions.

Meng Huo in this state was very excited, and he couldn't help but start writing quickly.

"Shua, Shua, Shua!" The sound of writing quickly caught the attention of the invigilator behind him. He frowned and walked forward to check it. His jaw almost dropped when he saw it.

I saw Meng Huo's hand moving from the test paper like a harvester. He barely had to think, and all the blank spaces were quickly filled with words. The invigilator himself was a Chinese teacher, and he felt that Meng Huo's answer was unexpectedly accurate, so accurate that he felt like he was cheating.

He quietly took out the electronic equipment to scan, but there was no response, not cheating.

"It's not cheating?"

The invigilator was stunned, but when he looked again, he found that Meng Huo had turned the test paper over, and the speed in his hand still didn't stop.

What kind of monster is this? —he was dumbfounded.

Then, when Meng Huo woke up from the 'flash of inspiration', the pen just happened to draw the last full stop in the composition.

The remaining two invigilators gathered around at some point. They looked down at the test paper, their eyes dull.

"Ten... ten minutes!"

A teacher looked at the clock on the wall, pushed his glasses and stammered and asked, "Are you done?"

It is simply a miracle! The three invigilators had never seen a student who did the test so quickly, and there was no sign of cheating, as if they had already memorized the answers.

Meng Huo nodded calmly: "Yes, I want to hand in the paper."

He stood up to pack his stationery, and the other students in the examination room looked over in shock.

It was silent.

It wasn't until Meng Huo left the teaching building that an invigilator remembered the most critical question. He ran out and shouted, "Hey, wait, it's not time to hand in the paper yet!"

But Meng Huo didn't look back. In this world, the senior high school entrance examination will not be awarded zero points for handing in the papers early. The total score of Jiangnan Province is 750 points. Meng Huo thinks that he should have more than 650 points, which is quite sufficient.

A few days after the end of the high school entrance examination.

June 18,

Ninghai Phoenix Building.

In the editorial team of "Weekly Boys", Ye Xiong, the editor-in-chief who had just started working, looked at the report with a gloomy expression on his face. The sales volume of magazines has decreased. Weekly Shonen Manga is their most popular magazine, but the sales volume is still far behind that of Longteng Company.

"Have you made a mistake in your strategic positioning?"

In the past few years, Ye Xiong had this idea countless times, but he immediately shook his head and denied it: "No, it is definitely right to take the path of originality!"

Phoenix Company puts its strategic focus on original comics, while Longteng Company is more inclined to novels. The capital and scale of Phoenix Company cannot be compared with Longteng Company, so Ye Xiong thinks that originality is their only way out.

However, over the years, why is the company's performance still tepid?

"Cartoonists, the result is still a shortage of talented cartoonists."

Ye Xiong couldn't help but sigh, the comics have been around for too short a time and the quality of cartoonists varies, this problem can only be resolved by time.

However, he feels very unwilling. The development of the comics industry is changing with each passing day. Nowadays, many children are working hard in this direction. It is foreseeable that the original comics will become the mainstream in five or six years. But he can't serve as the editor-in-chief for a long time because he can't get results. The result of his hard work is to build a bridge for future generations.

Why can't a manga genius come out ahead of time?

As if hearing Ye Xiong's heartfelt voice, an editor suddenly stood up screaming and scattered the manuscripts in the cardboard boxes around him.

"Haha, Professor Yang, did you see the cockroach again?"

The entire editorial department burst into laughter, and the editors knew that this young editor named Sun Yang was as courageous as a woman, and couldn't help screaming when he saw a mouse.

"No, no, I have to clean!" Sun Yang blushed, and raised the manuscript in his hand with some excitement: "Look, everyone, I found a genius!"

"genius?"

"Isn't that the contribution of a rookie? How can a rookie be a genius!"

Other editors didn't believe it, and editor-in-chief Ye Xiong didn't believe it either, but he still said, "Let me have a look."

Phoenix Company pays great attention to cultivating new cartoonists, but the current situation is that hundreds of people recommend themselves every month, and very few can enter the eyes of editors. In the long run, even the editor-in-chief Ye Xiong no longer has any hope.

He frowned at the first glance when he took the manuscript handed over by Sun Yang.

"Detective Conan"

The title almost made Ye Xiong throw it away, and now the popular juvenile comics are mainly about fighting, and the theme of detectives is very limited.

However, he still frowned and looked down. Looking at it, the subsequent development of the plot was beyond imagination. It also leads to an amazing shady scene!

Ye Xiong was attracted by the content of a short episode. The original author's grasp of the reader's psychology is at its peak, and his drawing skills are superb. It is impossible to take shape without more than ten years of practice.

The most shocking thing is the last picture, that picture is simply amazing! Ye Xiong believes that putting it on display in the gallery will not cause any surprise, but it is just an ordinary manga manuscript! ?

Ye Xiong was stunned, and he stood up after half the payment, propping up the table with both hands: "Genius..."

He was trembling, the dream in his heart for a long time seemed to have found a breakthrough opportunity, which made Ye Xiong uncontrollably excited: "If you want to buy it, you must buy its copyright!"

If such an excellent comic is allowed to be acquired by other companies, then Ye Xiong will regret it for the rest of his life!

"Sun Yang!" He raised his head and cursed at the subordinate in front of him: "Why are you still standing there, give me the author's phone number!"
