Big Manga

At 8:30 in the morning, the continuous spring rain covered Manga Island. There were not many pedestrians on the street. Qin Ya walked out of a bookstore and ran into the Phoenix Building with an umbrella.し

Coming to the door of the island studio, Qin Ya put down the umbrella and walked in. It was already working time, and Qin Ya was a little worried that Meng Huo blamed her for being late, but when she walked into the studio, she didn't find him.

"Teacher He Xi hasn't arrived yet?"

She was a little surprised. Meng Huo always went to work on time, but maybe he had already arrived at the company and was working on other tasks, but he hasn't come here yet.

Qin Ya thought so, she was really lucky today.

However, as soon as she sat down, another person came to the island studio. Meng Huo’s secretary walked in and found Qin Ya and said, “Ms. Qin, the vice president can’t come over today if there is something to do, please take care of the work here.”

"...Oh, good..." Qin Ya nodded blankly: "Does he have any job today?"

"It's not a job, it's a leave." The secretary shook his head and said, "I don't know what exactly is going on, Miss Qin, I'm up to you for the work here."

He said goodbye and left, and the painters in the island studio began to make a noise.

"It's really rare, why did the teacher ask for leave?"

"Did you catch a cold?"

"It's easy to catch a cold in this weather!"

They discussed that several painters have caught colds one after another recently, and this conjecture is not unreasonable. However, Qin Ya felt that the possibility of Meng Huo catching a cold was remote, and she had never seen her sick.

What's more, there is something wrong with Meng Huo these days. Yesterday he left in a hurry, and today he asked for leave directly-it is very rare for Meng Huo to ask for leave.

He had no invitations from TV stations or newspapers, no activities, and no travel. How could he suddenly ask for leave?

"I bought this comic for nothing."

Qin Ya took out a magazine from her bag, feeling a little pity in her heart. This is the "Summer Magazine" that she bought on the road when she came to work. A comic that Meng Huo said casually before. Today is the first day of serialization of that comic.

Qin Ya wanted to buy it to surprise Meng Huo, but he didn't expect him to be there.

"Princess, are you also reading "Sino Summer Magazine"?"

An artist noticed the cartoon Qin Ya produced. Asked curiously.

"I didn't usually watch it." Qin Ya asked back: "Will you watch it?"

"Well, I'm chasing Mirror Moon comics."

"Me too... it doesn't matter if you don't see other comics, but Mirror Moon's comics are worth watching."

Several painters replied, the same comic magazine. Naturally, the Phoenix Company is more worth seeing than Zhongxia Company. The quality of the magazines on the two sides is actually not much different, but the original comics of Phoenix Company are much more attractive than the adapted comics of Zhongxia Company.

Although Zhongxia Company also develops original cartoons, the quality is not as good as Phoenix Company. Phoenix Company has a large number of outstanding original cartoonists, what a pity. When the prices of the two company magazines are not much different, most people will give priority to Phoenix.

However, Mirror Moon’s comics are only available in "Summer Magazine". Many comic fans buy magazines in order to read her comics. Some of the artists at the Island Studio are also fans of Mirror Moon.

"Except for Mr. He Xi's cartoons, my favorite cartoonist is Jingyue."

"Her previous style was too paranoid, but since last year, Jingyue's comics have become better and better."

The painters were discussing Jingyue, and Qin Ya suddenly remembered what Meng Huo had said-that woman who looked like Alice was Jingyue.

Does his leave have anything to do with Jingyue?

Qin Ya felt weird. It was said that Jingyue had mysteriously disappeared since she appeared. The reporters of Huaxia could not find her. Maybe this matter is also related to Meng Huo.

There are two reasons for her to have this association. One is because Meng Huo knew Jingyue's identity, and even CCTV reporters didn't know it. How could he know?

The second reason is that during the more than half a month since Jingyue disappeared, many people on newspapers and the Internet regarded Jingyue as a big fuss about Alice, and many people attacked Meng Huo and Phoenix.

However, Meng Huo knew the truth and could tell it, but he did not do so. Not only did he fail to tell the truth, he also took special care of Jingyue when dealing with these rumors, and tried to avoid others from digging into her secrets-this was not normal in Qin Ya's view.

"After the teacher comes back, I must ask him what's going on..."

The more Qin Ya thought about it, the more he felt that Meng Huo and Jingyue were not like strangers. She was a little unhappy, but she thought it was because Meng Huo was suspected of deceiving her.

"But there is no Kagetsu comics today, right?"

"Kagetsuki's comics are indeed not released today."

The painters were chatting, and suddenly it became strange that "Summer China Magazine" is basically on sale every day. However, Jingyue's comics are serialized once a week, and today is not her serialization day.

"Princess, you don't usually buy "Sino Summer Magazine", do you?"

"Why would you want to buy this magazine today?"

The painters were surprised that Qin Ya would choose to buy the magazine today, and she was almost late due to the rain. They had never heard of any Zhongxia comics she was chasing.

Qin Ya woke up from her thoughts and said, "Teacher He Xi told me a week ago that there were new comics serialized on it today. I was a little curious."

"He Xi teacher?"

"Teacher He Xi actually cares about a new comic!?"

The painters looked at each other. Everyone has a look of surprise on their faces-there are hundreds of new comics appearing every year, and few of them can be seen by Mr. He Xi, let alone the comics of Zhongxia Company.

"What manga is so powerful?"

"Can the princess borrow us to see today's "Sino Summer Magazine"?"

The curiosity of the painters was aroused, and Qin Ya agreed. There is not much work today. She originally wanted to read the new series in this magazine with Meng Huo before working.

Although Meng Huo is not there now, it is not easy to buy it and show it to other painters, so Qin Ya handed the magazine to others.

"Princess, don't you see first?"

"I'll see it later in the evening."

Qin Ya himself is not very interested in the new comics, as long as he finishes reading it before tomorrow, he can chat with Meng Huo.

The painters did not refuse. Several people who were interested in the new series gathered together and watched it. Today's cover of "Sino Summer Magazine" is the cover of a young man holding a sword, in ancient costumes and beautiful paintings.

""The Legend of Sword and Fairy"-martial arts comics? But this cover is a bit interesting, the level of cartoonists is quite high."

"I used to be accustomed to the painting of Jingyue on the cover. This one looks new, but the style is not like an angel. When did Zhongxia have such a powerful cartoonist?"

"Isn't there a name on it? Zhao Mei...I remember, isn't this the illustrator? I said a new serial a while ago. It should be this, right?"

"Who is Zhao Mei?"

"A very young illustrator with very good drawing skills-she actually drew comics? The person in charge of scripts and stories is called Qilin... Haven't heard of this person?"

Painters are full of praise for the beautiful cover. People who didn't know Zhao Mei now have an impression of her. After opening the magazine, the new serial "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is the first.

The first story of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is very simple. It just explained the background and the beginning of the story.

The name of the hero in this comic is Li Xiaoyao, an orphan who grew up in a small fishing village. Li Xiaoyao, whose parents had been missing since he was a child, was brought up by his aunt and became a second in the shop.

One day, Li Xiaoyao's aunt became seriously ill. In order to repay his aunt's nurturing grace, the young man resolutely embarked on a dangerous journey of seeking medicine.

This is the entire content of the first chapter of the comic. The development of the story is not new, but the picture is indeed good. The entire magazine has been turned over, and the picture quality of other comics is far worse than it.

"Outstanding!"

"This painting is so good, the angel comics are not so beautiful, right?"

"I want to collect it all... It's a pity that the plot is too short. I still don't see how the plot of the comic will develop. Do you think it is a very clichéd Daguai upgrade comic?"

"I don't know, but this painting is worth seeing."

The painters got an unexpected surprise. I will not talk about the plot for the time being. The picture of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is indeed a surprise. There are few such beautiful cartoons in the comic magazines on the market.

Zhao Mei proved his strength in The Legend of Sword and Fairy, and the effect of the first chapter of the comic was immediately revealed. In major bookstores, more people went to buy magazines at noon this day than in the morning. Comic readers have heard that there is such a high-quality new comic on sale.

Of course, the response is good. However, there was no panic buying when Meng Huo made his debut. There are already a lot of original comics, and comic readers have become accustomed to the comics of He Xi et al. The appearance of a beautiful comic can hardly cause the same kind of sensation in the past.

Now readers care more about the plot. The sense of screen becomes secondary.

"Congratulations, a great success!"

In the evening, the female editor of Zhongxia Company found Zhao Mei and said hi, although the data has not yet come out, but according to today's daytime situation, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has already had a good start.

Many readers have expressed their intention to continue to follow it online. As long as the follow-up comics continue to maintain this high-standard style, this comic will inevitably become popular.

However, Zhao Mei couldn't be happy.

"It's not far, the bookstore doesn't even line up the line."

She has been paying attention to the sales of magazines all day, but there are no signs of panic buying in the major bookstores, and there are very few books even in line.

The performance of this release is not as popular as when she previously collaborated with other novelists to release novels.

Well-known novelists have to queue up to buy their novels when they are on sale, but "Summer Magazine" appears to be very calm, far from satisfying Zhao Mei's expectations.

"You are wrong... Don't confuse novels with comics and magazines. They cannot be compared."

After hearing Zhao Mei's complaint, the female editor couldn't help laughing. How could this metaphor explain the problem?

The novels are sold one by one, the weight can make the reader enjoyable, and the plot is also very clear. However, the newly serialized comics are sold in the magazine one by one. Their plot progress is slow, and the response is generally delayed.

Even if you want to compare novels, it should be compared to comic booklets, not comic magazines.

In addition, the Kirin group is a newcomer, not many comic fans join in. Although Zhao Mei is a bit famous in the illustrator world, the current illustrator's reputation is generally not high. In the comics world, not many readers care about it. Most readers only saw her in the comics of "The Legend of Sword and Fairyman" today. Illustrator.

"Anyway, your mind is calm, don't be too anxious... the comics will take a few words to be effective. You have to have confidence in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"!"

The female editor soothed, and Zhao Mei thought about it after calming down. She read the stories in novels and scripts, so she felt that today's release was very unsatisfactory, and it did not match the quality of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

However, readers don't know its quality. The content of the first chapter can't even see the beginning. Li Xiaoyao hasn't married Ling'er yet, and the whole story hasn't started yet.

Readers need time to experience The Legend of Sword and Fairy, and Zhao Mei also needs to give them time.

"I see, thank you, editor."

After calming down, Zhao Mei thanked the editor and said that he would no longer be affected by such emotions because of such things.

"That's right." The female editor smiled: "The most important thing to be a cartoonist is to have a peaceful heart. You have to believe in yourself and your partner. As long as you draw the cartoons well, you will be successful!"

Zhao eyebrow nodded, his face improved a lot: "The editor is actually here to comfort me, right?"

"Guaranteeing the psychological state of the cartoonist is also part of the editor's job." The female editor nodded, and then sighed: "But the unicorn is not under my control. I don't even know his information, and I don't know how his state is."

"Who is responsible for Qilin?" Zhao Mei was curious, that partner was too mysterious, and she still didn't know who his editor was in charge.

"The minister is personally responsible." The editor said. The minister she said was Yang Liang, and all of Qilin's works were transferred from Yang Liang to the editorial department.

"But today, the minister doesn't seem to be worried about Teacher Qilin's status." The editor frowned and said: "Mr. Qilin faces more criticisms than you."

It's more than just a lot—it's just one-sided.

After today's "Summer Magazine" was released ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Zhao Mei's drawing skills were highly praised. Basically all readers' eyes were on the screen, and no one said it was bad.

But also because of this, the slow-moving plot of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been greatly questioned, and even the Qilin has also received a lot of criticism.

"Who is Qilin? Is Zhong Xia's own son? Why use such a good painting to give him a job as a rookie scripter?"

"Bai was blind to Zhao Mei's paintings, and it would be even more popular to replace them with other works!"

"The unicorn gets thicker, let Zhao Mei draw better comics!"

——Zhao Mei also saw many such criticisms on the Internet during the day, and these were considered good, and some of them were even more unsightly, making her angry.

Especially when some of her former fans saw "Legend of the Sword and Fairy", they all said that a flower was planted on the cow dung. It is clear that the plot has not yet begun, but their views on the unicorn are really chilling. (To be continued.)
