Manga Guidebook - Chapter 142
Miaobi Magazine, at this moment, is in full swing.
They are promoting the next day’s “Dragon Soul Knife”. The news package that “Dragon Soul Knife” was bought back spread on the Internet a few days ago, and the sales of Miaobi Magazine increased a lot, which cost a lot of money. The magazine of the price was overjoyed and felt that it was not a loss.
Tomorrow is the day when “Dragon Soul Blade” is officially released. They have been preparing for nearly a month to publicize, relying on the popular IP, plus the title of genius cartoonist Jiang Xian to write, full of confidence.
“Jiang Xian, let’s go out and celebrate at night.” Editor Mohe walked into the room and smiled when he saw Jiang Xian who was drawing cartoons seriously.
“It’s just on sale, the final popularity is still unknown, don’t you think it’s too early to celebrate now?”
Jiang Xian looked up at him and said.
“Ha ha ha, don’t worry, just focus on the popularity of the original work, it’s definitely not bad, just wait for your fame.”
“No matter how popular it is, it’s the popularity of the original, not mine.”
“That’s also your strength. The magazines you have adapted all feel that they perfectly meet the requirements of the original work. Otherwise, the editor-in-chief will not hand over the work to you. Don’t belittle yourself. There are many cartoonists competing for the writing of “Dragon Soul Sword”. You If you succeed, that’s your own strength.”
Jiang Xian became famous at a young age. He serialized comics at the age of 18, but his first work was serialized for two years. When he was 20 years old, he created about four or five works. It’s that his painting skills are outstanding, but the plot of his creation is not good, so that he has reached the current point.
In order to make a living, he fought out of the competition and took over the cartoonist who Miaobi Magazine asked him to write for “Dragon Soul Knife”.
This is an opportunity. Although it is not his own original work, as long as the adaptation is good, there is a chance to become famous. In order to make a better adaptation, Jiang Xian has read the original work over and over a hundred times, and there are many scraps. Finally, he created it now. the finished product.
“I don’t know if tomorrow’s release meets the expectations of the original.”
“Don’t worry, it’s fine.” Mohe encouraged him.
“By the way, has that guy in April released a new work?”
“You mean April Breeze of Zijin Magazine?”
“right.”
Mo He thought about it and said, “Not yet, he has only finished two weeks, and the new work shouldn’t come out so soon. In other words, why do you pay so much attention to him.”
“It’s nothing, I just think he’s very good. He has created so many wonderful works in less than two years. I have some admiration. There is also Senior Meng Junjie from Spring and Autumn Magazine.”
Speaking of this, Mohe had to sigh with emotion: “The Spring and Autumn Magazine is also a big deal, and the Meng Junjie they dug up is also a well-known cartoonist. But absolutely.”
“However, I just don’t know if they’re cocooning themselves, or if they’re really worth the price.”
“How to say?”
“Meng Junjie’s popularity is not low, but he has changed a lot of magazines, his character is not good, he is too arrogant, and he likes to criticize cartoons that are not as good as himself, so he is not good in the industry, but his public relations have always been very good. , did not break out among readers.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
……
“Mr. Meng, hello, I don’t know if your new work is finished.”
Spring and Autumn Magazine, the editor in charge of Meng Junjie’s name is Qi Zheng, an old editor who has been working for some years.
“Oh, new work, I have finished the new work.”
Meng Junjie is a middle-aged man with glasses and looks very simple and honest.
“That’s good, is it the type that the teacher said before?”
“Yes, youth manga.”
The comic he created is called “Different Braves”. It tells about the brave man Gu Yuan who looks upright but is a fake. The real brave man was killed by Gu Yuan. Lustful and greedy, he embarked on the road of the brave, and then changed his inner story because of constant changes.
“Unlike the hero comics on the market today, my structure full of innovative plots is also very selling. The evil hero embarks on the road of the hero to save the world. I think there must be many people who like this kind of plot.”
“That’s what it says…”
“You can talk after reading the first episode first, and there are also the second and third episodes.”
Hearing this, Qi Zheng took it over. The first episode was about Gu Yuan dressed as a brave man passing by a small village. The people of the small village welcomed him warmly and served Gu Yuan with delicious food. Gu Yuan was having a conversation. In the middle, I accidentally learned that the village had just received a fortune. These are the men of the village. They helped the Duke of Yas to repair the castle and got a lot of money. Gu Yuan was greedy, but he forcibly endured it. Seeing the daughter of Duke Yas, Alanya, the young and beautiful girl completely ignited Gu Yuan’s desire.
Gu Yuan used his best tricks to disguise himself as a villager, kidnapped the girl to the mountain, deliberately revealed his identity as a black magician, and wanted to forcibly get Alanya, but at the most critical time , written and directed by Gu Yuan, as a hero, he killed the black magician (the illusion technique he performed) and saved the girl.
The plan went very smoothly, saving Alanya and being a hero, he captured the girl’s heart, but the price was that the villagers were slaughtered by the enraged Duke Yass, leaving no one left.
“The story is indeed interesting, but teacher, it’s just that it’s really good to have such a dark character as the protagonist? Is it acceptable to readers?”
There are still too few such evil villains on the market, but they still appear as protagonists.
“This…” Meng Junjie couldn’t answer for a while, and turned to look at Zhang Wensheng, his assistant.
Zhang Wensheng immediately said: “The first chapter is mainly a prominent sense of excitement. This kind of villain-like protagonist is not available on the market, and there must be an audience. What we want to portray is a sense of reality. The world cannot survive, a kind of complete villain, although this kind of strange, but as long as the plot is well mastered, as long as it is interesting, this kind of story can be used.”
Although Qi Zheng was a little puzzled why Zhang Wensheng answered, he didn’t think much about it.
“I am personally interested in this kind of innovation. Yes, as long as it is interesting, it should be good. I understand, I will go back and discuss it with the editor-in-chief. If there is no problem, we will put it into serialization as soon as possible.”
“it is good.”
After Qi Zheng left, Meng Junjie looked at Zhang Wensheng with a smile, and said, “You talked a lot today.”
Zhang Wensheng said: “This is what you asked me to say, teacher. Besides, the idea of this comic was obviously proposed by me. Can’t you let me say a few more words after you requisitioned it?”
“No no, this is not a requisition, I bought it from you with money.”
“Yes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com spent a few hundred dollars.”
“I don’t know if your idea will be popular? It’s a lot to give you a few hundred dollars. If it’s popular, I’ll give you a little more.”
Hearing this, Zhang Wensheng could not help clenching his fists quietly. He is the assistant who has been with Meng Junjie for the longest time. He has been working hard to hone his drawing skills, that is, one day he will be able to complete comics alone and become a real comic artist. rather than assistants.
A few days ago, he thought it was okay, he planned to submit the manuscript, and asked Meng Junjie, he still remembers what he said.
“You are still too young. You might as well say what kind of cartoon you want to draw. You can tell me, and I will help you refer to it.”
Even though Zhang Wensheng was the longest assistant in Meng Junjie’s hands, he didn’t recognize his essence, and immediately said that “A Different Brave” was his creation, and he was looking forward to using this as a Taoist work. , but he didn’t create it for the first time. He wanted to be perfect, and he worked hard every day to conceive and set the plot.
After a week, I did learn that Meng Junjie had used it, and had signed a contract with Spring and Autumn Magazine, using his own idea for this work.
He questioned it, but it was obviously useless. Before the idea was published, it was just an idea of his own. Even if the other party used it, it could not be considered an infringement.
Meng Junjie has a lot of team.
“Hey, I only blame myself for being too stupid.” Zhang Wensheng sighed to himself.
