Comprehensive comics: great cartoonist at the beginning

The two of them followed the staff to the 9th floor without much argument.

"Go this way and go to the second room at the end where you turn left."

"The name on the room is Ivy Comics Creation and Publishing Department."

Thank you to the staff, and they turned around and entered the elevator. Tang Ming and the other five people walked towards the corridor with apprehension.

"Tang Ming, don’t let me down."

"Don't be nervous and have confidence in your work."

Hikigaya gave Tang Ming a rare encouragement, and Hiratsuka Shizuka on the side also patted Tang Ming on the shoulder and said:"I have read your works, there must be no problem."

"come on."

Tang Ming looked around at everyone, and their eyes all affirmed him.

A powerful force suddenly rose in his heart, pushing him to take steps and walked to the door of the office

"Is this the Qingteng comics creation and publishing department?"

Bang bang bang - there is a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

A hoarse man's voice came from inside the office. Tang Ming opened the office door and the five of them stepped in together.

"Hello, excuse me."

Tang Ming closed the office door, looked up, and was slightly startled.

Not only Tang Ming, but the other four people were also shocked by the scene in the office.

This?

The office is completely different from what they imagined. It is dozens of square meters in size, with bookshelves and manuscripts scattered everywhere, disorderly and piled up in mountains.

Various colors and styles are mixed together, giving it a messy look.

It looks like the room of a hardcore otaku comic fan!

"Hello?"

Tang Ming saw no one responding in the huge room. He swallowed and walked forward with a few people behind him.

They walked slowly and looked around. Their sight was blocked by a mountain of comic books. They always felt that something would happen. Crisis is everywhere...

Click -

Suddenly, a voice sounded from under his feet. Tang Ming took a closer look and saw that there was a person sitting on the chair on the side.

It was a man who looked to be in his thirties, with a beard on his face and sloppy hair. He was a little unkempt, wearing thick glasses on his face, and looked like he had not woken up.

At this time, he was staring at the computer screen intently.

"Hello, are you the editor Shota?"

Tang Ming asked tentatively, but the other party didn't seem to hear it.

"Hello?"

"Shhh...wait a moment."The man was typing something on the keyboard quickly, then clicked the mouse a few times, let out a sigh of relief, turned his chair around, and looked at Tang Ming.

"Um? What's wrong."

Tang Ming was shocked. This must be the editor.

No matter why the editor was like this, Tang Ming still said:"Hello, we are here to submit the article."

(Are all Shueisha's editors so strange?)

The editor touched his forehead and was stunned for a moment.

So many people?

"Who contributes?

Tang Ming stood up and said,"It's me. I'm Tang Ming.""

"Sorry, these are my classmates Hikigaya, Yukinoshita, Yuigahama, and my Mandarin teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka"

"Tang Ming……"The editor scratched his messy curly hair and thought lazily.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said calmly:"Ah, the high school student who recommended himself."

His expression looked a little careless. Tang Ming guessed that it might be because he was about to get off work, or the other party saw that he was just a person. I'm a high school student, so I take it for granted that there won't be any works worthy of attention.

Tang Ming, neither humble nor arrogant, nodded and said,"Yes."

The editor casually stood up from his chair, walked through the sea of ​​books, and said,"Well, come over here."

Tang Ming and the classmates around him looked at each other. , and then followed the editor to a relatively clean and tidy corner of the office.

There is a small table and two chairs here. It seems to be a place to"receive guests".

The editor sat down face to face with Tang Ming and said casually:"I am Shota Tezuka from Shueisha's Aoto Comics Department."

"So, please show me the thing."

Tang Ming took the comic manuscript out of his bag, put it on the table and handed it to the other party.

The editor took the manuscript bored, his eyelids feeling heavy from beginning to end.

Here, high school students like Tang Ming, who are so ambitious, There are too many students.

Shueisha receives countless submissions every day, and quite a few of them are young people with great ambitions. They are confident enough to bring their works to seek recognition, but it is obvious that the success rate is almost 0.

High school students do not have the same With considerable writing skills and skills, it is not enough to rely solely on passion.

However, when the editor opened the first page of the manuscript and saw the comic for the first time, his brows gradually wrinkled!

At the same time, his pupils also began to Shining light, he pushed his glasses slightly with his hand. The expression on his face changed from boredom at the beginning to extremely serious.

Professional editors like Shota, especially editors with a high level, will always first read comics submitted by newcomers. He read it quickly just to have a rough look at the author's painting skills, style, and storyboards.

Only if he passed these basic things would he read the content carefully.

But for Tang Ming's comics, he read them carefully from the first page. Get up.

There are many cartoonists with good drawing skills in this world, but on the basis of good drawing skills, they are very rare with strong storyboarding skills. Although the child in front of me looks young, the maturity of his works can be seen This also led to the editor deciding to read these manuscripts with full attention almost from the first page. On the first page, the content of the story was unremarkable, and it was probably about the first encounter between the hero and heroine in the rain pavilion.

But such amazing painting skills and storyboarding techniques made him want to stop for a long time. The editor watched the first two pages for a full minute.

Then, the editor looked up at Tang Ming with eyes full of disbelief, and then He picked up the stack of manuscripts and felt the thickness.

Based on his years of experience, this manuscript was at least sixty or seventy pages long.

The editor felt that the young man in front of him was not simple.

In comic companies, newcomers generally submit manuscripts. About 20 pages, because comics are a very time-consuming and energy-consuming job, and generally newcomers will not draw so many when submitting.

After all, if the manuscript is not published, the wasted cost will be huge.

But Tang Ming came to submit with so much , does this mean that this kid is full of ideas, or is full of confidence, and has long known that he will be able to pass the manuscript?

It’s not simple...

He watched the editor tossing around with the manuscript, but didn’t say a word, Yubi on the side Hama Yui couldn't help but ask:"Hello, Editor Shota"

"You look like you're troubled"

"Is there something wrong with the manuscript?"
