Rebirth of the God of Comics

"Your drawing has not yet met our submission requirements, so it will not be accepted. But thank you for your support to our Rakuten Magazine, and you are welcome to continue to submit next time."

Chen Ze couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the letter from Lotte Club. Nani, my eyes are broken! In the previous life, the manga "Slam Dunk" that swept across the entire Asian basketball frenzy, sold more than 100 million in only 31 volumes, and was rated as the most worthy of leaving for future generations, couldn't even pass the draft here?

Chen Ze thought for a while, and it must be that the editors of Lotte Club have too weird tastes, otherwise, how could he make it difficult for him to even pass the manuscript. Fortunately, the cake of China's animation industry is big enough. Apart from Lotte Club, several other magazines are also very strong. Thinking of this, he sent the drawing to those big magazines.

It's a pity that the editors of those magazines had the same attitude as those of Lotte Club. Seeing that Chen Ze's subject matter was sports basketball, they directly rejected Chen Ze. He worked hard for half a month, but what he got was a rejection letter.

Nima, play with me, God!

Looking at the table full of rejection letters, Chen Ze really wanted to ask God, Nima brought me into this world, and gave me such a big advantage, but it turns out that people in this world don’t accept my original world Anime.

It's no wonder that Chen Ze lost his composure. Anyone who thinks he has the ability to change the world turns out that the world doesn't accept you at all. Anyone will lose his composure.

Didi!

At this moment, Chen Ze's TT rang again. He took it out and saw that it was from the Heart of Time. A few days ago, Chen Ze told him about his contribution, so he came here to ask about the situation.

"How about it, is it overdue?"

"No, I returned it to you." Chen Ze replied gloomily. Obviously, "Slam Dunk" made a big splash in his previous life, and even more than ten years after it ended, there are still people discussing it endlessly on professional basketball forums. Looking at the plot in it, why can't even pass the draft?

In fact, what Chen Ze didn't know was that this kind of predicament was not only for him, even Takehiko Inoue also encountered it at that time. He won the Tezuka Award at the age of 21 and became a newcomer who attracted worldwide attention. But that's it, when he proposed to serialize "Slam Dunk", he was still questioned by the editor, and he was almost cut in half.

And now Chen Ze is not as famous as Takehiko Inoue. The basketball in China in this world is even smaller than that in the island country in his previous life. Naturally, it is impossible for the editor to value the draft.

"It's okay, not having your manuscript just shows that those editors don't have enough vision." Perhaps feeling the loss in Chen Ze's heart, the Heart of Time comforted, "Why don't you vote for the magazine I work for?"

"The magazine you are in?"

"Yes, New Animation Magazine. They have just been established, and the requirements for draft submission are not as high as those of other large magazines. And although their reputation and channels are not as good as Lotte Club, the pay is still pretty good, even for newcomers. I can get a better price." Heart of Time explained to Chen Ze.

Chen Ze thought about it, and now there is no other good way. All the big comic agencies in the world rejected him. If he didn't vote for such a small magazine, he would have to give up drawing comics.

But the question is what else can he do besides comics. In his previous life, he came to this world as a free-spirited cartoonist, and his only advantage was the comics he had thoroughly studied. If the comics are not good, you can't copy the novels, who can remember those things with millions of words at every turn.

"Okay, then you can send me the address of the new anime magazine you work for,

I'll vote for it later. "Chen Ze asked Heart of Time for the address, and then voted in his comics.

······

"How do you people review manuscripts? Why do you let this kind of comics pass the manuscripts? Do you have any professional vision?" In an office in a building, a woman in her twenties faced the person in front of her. Four or five men said loudly.

Although this woman is quite beautiful, especially her figure, she is extremely hot. But the group of men in front of her were submissive, and none of them dared to raise their heads to admire the woman's figure. It was obvious that this woman was usually very dignified.

"I have already emphasized to you that the purpose of our magazine is friendship, hard work, and passion. All of our drawings must be drawn around these three points. But look at what your manuscripts are, whether they are selling meat or I'm selling rot, do you usually listen to me well?"

As the beautiful woman spoke, she raised her hand and rubbed her temples, obviously a little tired. It's no wonder, her name is Lin Lan, and she is the boss and editor-in-chief of this new animation magazine. She is actually the daughter of a big real estate owner in China, but she is unwilling to follow the path her father arranged for her - to join his company and find a well-matched person to marry.

So she made a bet with her father and gave her three years to start a business. If she succeeds, her father will not force her anymore. If you fail, go back and get married honestly. And her choice of starting a business is her favorite comic industry.

"But the editor-in-chief, we all consider the interests of the company. It is popular in the market now to sell meat and rot, and readers will eat it. If we don't do this, it is difficult for a new magazine to stand out from this fierce competition. Survive," explained an editor.

"If I say no, it's not. All our comics must follow the three principles I determined." Lin Lan said firmly.

She grew up watching comics since she was a child. Many classic comics are basically drawn around dreams and passion. It's not like she doesn't need any morals for the market now. She believes that a comic that can be called a classic and great must have three views that are upright and resonate with people, so she set those three principles at the beginning of founding the magazine.

"Okay then, editor-in-chief." Those editors nodded helplessly when they heard Lin Lan's firm words, but they were probably laughing at Lin Lan for not understanding the market, and they would definitely suffer a big loss.

"Well, then you all review the manuscript again, and this time you must follow my instructions." Seeing their compromise, Lin Lan nodded and prepared to go back to her office. But just as she turned around, a drawing on the table caught her attention from the corner of her eye.

There were only two men on that drawing, wearing red No. 10 and No. 11 jerseys, jumping high and grabbing a rebound. One has bright red hair, the other has a grim face.

It was such a simple painting that caught her attention. Lin Lan walked over, picked up the stack of sketches and looked at them carefully.

"Editor-in-Chief, this is a rejected drawing. Although the pictures, characters, and shots are all good, the subject matter is too small and has no commercial value." Seeing Lin Lan pick up the drawing, an editor beside her said. Obviously, it was the drawing that he reviewed just now, and it has been eliminated.

Lin Lan didn't respond to the man's words, but began to look carefully. When I saw the protagonist in the confrontation with the basketball captain, he couldn't help laughing when he accidentally tore off his pants.

Soon she finished reading the stack of sketches, and after closing the sketches, she whispered: "Sakuragi, Rukawa Kaede, Akaharu, Akagi! This "Slam Dunk" is so interesting."

With a woman's intuition, she felt the value of this drawing. The characters and storyboards are very good, and the story looks very interesting, but she has a different opinion from others as the subject matter is too small.

As a rich second generation, she had the opportunity to go to the United States since she was a child. After being entertained by her friends in the United States to watch basketball, she was completely fascinated by this sport. Is basketball niche? Maybe it is right now, but Lin Lan knows the charm of basketball very well. Once the publicity spreads, countless men will be completely fascinated by this sport.

And as far as she knows, now that the NBA has set its sights on the Chinese market, maybe there will be a basketball hurricane blowing to the land of China soon, so Lin Lan is not worried about this issue at all.

What Lin Lan didn't know at this time was that it wasn't long before an unprecedented basketball hurricane blew up in China and even in the whole of Asia, but it wasn't caused by the NBA, but by this thin draft in her hands.

"Contact this artist immediately and tell him that we have passed his manuscript." Lin Lan made a decision that surprised even the editors present.
