Seventeen: Truth Hui’s Expectations

In the editorial room, time passed by little by little, and the quiet atmosphere made people feel that time was moving extremely slowly.

It was already half an hour after Zhenhui finished reading all the sketches of One Punch Man. The sketches sent by Su Jie were not too many, so logically speaking, it shouldn’t take so much time.

But in the process, Mae Hui has already seen the excellence of this manga, unknowingly put all his energy into it, and carefully did not miss any details of the manga, from the plot, style of painting, storyboard, character creation and other aspects. evaluation, which is why it takes so much time.

I have to admit that this manga is very exciting, even the editor Marie couldn’t help but be attracted by the plot.

The manga protagonist Saitama is invincible and kills any enemy with one punch. Compared with the ordinary and simple life style, there are many funny plots and dialogues interspersed in it. At the same time, the pretense is maximized. The most refreshing time to slap your face.

I have seen interesting plots a few times, such as a child with a butt and a chin, I am bald and my funny language has become stronger, and the fighting style is exaggerated to the point of being invincible with one punch, all of which made Marie couldn’t help laughing out loud.

The story told by One Punch Man is not complicated, there is no huge and complicated world view setting that makes people unintelligible, and there are not all kinds of beautiful girls that often appear in urban comics, but the wonderful plot makes people want to stop. After watching the routine plots of anime, it will give you an unexpected reversal.

Especially the setting of the protagonist Saitama’s punch, people can’t wait to watch to see if there is any enemy who can defeat Saitama, or… take Saitama’s punch.

Raising his head, Marie smiled for the first time, and said: “Very good manga, no, to be precise, the level of excitement of this manga is beyond my expectation, it is the same age as you, I am very happy to cooperate with you. ”

Zhenhui’s evaluation is extremely high. Most newcomer cartoonists will hit a wall in front of Zhenhui, and what they get is often the same: “The work cannot meet the requirements for publication. Please continue to work hard on the next book.” “Such an answer.

“Happy cooperation.” When Su Jie heard Zhenhui’s words, he knew that the other party had recognized One-Punch Man and had hope of serialization.

One Punch Man comic Su Jie has a lot of confidence. It is normal to be approved by the editor, and it is not normal if it is not approved.

So Su Jie’s expression on his face was very normal. In the eyes of Zhen Hui, he valued Su Jie again.

It’s really rare to have such a calm attitude at such a young age. This is the most famous manga magazine in Japan.

Even a manga artist with several manga works would show excitement when he heard the hope of being serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump”. It is rare for Su Jie to be so calm.

“Just to clarify, I will submit your work to the editor-in-chief for review. This is not a big problem. I am very optimistic about your work. In the end, the editor-in-chief needs to make a decision on whether to serialize it on “Weekly Shonen Jump”, and it is not yet guaranteed. Your work can be featured in Weekly Shonen Jump.”

Zhenhui told Su Jie about the next operation. Before coming, Su Jie had checked the relevant information on the Internet.

The editors of “Weekly Shonen Jump” are divided into three levels: editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief, and editor-in-chief.The editor-in-charge is responsible for negotiating and communicating with ordinary cartoonists, managing drafting, review, operation, etc., and is the editor most often contacted by the author, and Zhenhui is the editor-in-charge.

The editor-in-chief is responsible for managing a branch, and conducts a second review of the comics that the editor-in-charge is optimistic about, or negotiates with veteran cartoonists. For example, the branch where Su Jie is now has an editor-in-chief who manages a dozen editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief, as the name suggests, is the biggest editor of the entire “Weekly Shonen Jump”, and the editor-in-chiefs of branches all over Japan are subordinate to the editor-in-chief.

If a manga wants to be serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump”, the editor-in-chief alone thinks it is useless. Finally, the editor-in-chief has to hold a meeting to call all the editor-in-chiefs to make a decision, and select the most promising ones from the many manga for serialization.

The success of “Weekly Shonen Jump” is also related to this layered and hierarchical editorial structure. The strict review level ensures that the standard of comics that can be serialized on “Weekly Shonen Jump” is not too bad.

The “One Punch Man” that Su Jie took out now has passed the initial review by the editor in charge of the truth, and has to pass the re-examination by the editor-in-chief of the branch, and finally sent it to the headquarters of “Weekly Shonen Jump” along with several new comics from this branch recently. The final review confirmed that the editor-in-chief and more than a dozen editor-in-chief voted to decide that only manga that passed the final review could be serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Of course, this is for Su Jie who is a newcomer. If there are veteran cartoonists with a few good works, they can directly contact the editor-in-chief and skip the responsibility of editing. If they are more powerful top-notch cartoonists, they can deal with the editor-in-chief Yes, the chances of being serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump” will be much higher.

Zhenhui now values ​​Su Jie very much, and believes that the comic work “One Punch Man” has enough potential. Even if it enters the final stage of final review, there is a 70% hope that it will be serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump”, and it is very big. It might catch fire.

At present, Zhenhui went outside to pour a cup of coffee for Su Jie, and then carefully explained the rules of “Weekly Shonen Jump” serialization, as well as the points that need to be paid attention to after successful serialization, and patiently guided Su Jie.

It was the first time Su Jie came into contact with the relationship between cartoonists and comic magazines. The information he searched on the Internet before was not very detailed. After Zhenhui’s explanation, he has already figured out a lot.

In addition to the excellent work “One Punch Man”, there is also the reason for Su Jie himself that Marie worked so hard.

Being able to create comics of this level at a young age, who knows if Su Jie grows up, will become the next master of comics and is famous all over Japan.

If “One Punch Man” can be serialized successfully, it can certainly bring a lot of performance bonuses to Marie, but compared with bringing out a well-known cartoonist, it is nothing at all.

The best way for an editor to be promoted is that the contracted works can sell well, and the more successful cartoonists he can bring out, the better.

Marie has been working in “Weekly Shonen Jump” for three years. Many manga works signed by her have been serialized on “Weekly Shonen Jump”. There are also a few well-received works, but this is far from enough. Works that are hot enough to arouse widespread discussion and praise cannot obtain strong and effective qualifications.

With such a mood, after explaining the rules of “Weekly Shonen Jump” to Su Jie, Marie stood up holding the sketch and said: “Our editor-in-chief Izumita Madara is still in the company, please wait a while, Su Jie, I will take your draft to the editor-in-chief Quanta Madara for review now, rest assured, your work is excellent, and there will be no problem passing the review.”

“I’m sorry.” Su Jie nodded with a smile. Seeing Zhenhui being so active, no matter what the other party’s purpose is, it’s always a good thing

ps: Because the protagonist will have more exposure to the comics industry in the future, I will write in more detail. I haven’t found out the detailed level division of comic editors. It is described according to the divisions edited by our authors. Just take a look.

In addition, I would like to thank Shengshi Banyue, Shuke 618957431 for their rewards and Si Lie for their monthly tickets.

Also, the signing contract for this book has been sent out, and it will be updated more in the future. If you think it looks good, please bookmark it.
