Qianwumei Also Wants To Be a Cartoonist

An Yi used her own actions to tell the two editors why she was qualified to make the almost outrageous request...

Ding Hebei looked at An Yi at this time, as if he was looking at a monster. If other teachers saw that An Yi could complete a perfect picture in less than two hours with just picking up a paintbrush. If she edited the original manuscript and did all the background, pasting, blackening, etc., she must be looking at a monster like Ding Hebei!

Like some novice cartoonists without assistants, it may take more than ten hours to draw a manuscript and modify it to perfection! Drawing manga is not just doodling!

Considering that readers don’t even need to read a page for even a minute, this kind of strong contrast is really embarrassing.

Not only cartoonists, but Internet writers with ideals and pursuits often can only write a few hundred words an hour in order to write high-quality articles. It takes three to four hours to write a chapter of 2,000 words, but readers only need I finished reading it in less than five minutes. Even though it is completely free to read sometimes, I still want to criticize the author after reading it to show my sense of superiority.

It is recommended that readers who like to spray the author write it in person to feel the hard work of being an author.

Authors and readers should understand each other.

Therefore, drawing comics and writing novels are not easy tasks...the former takes much more time and energy than the latter.

It is precisely because of this unimaginable hardship that ordinary people feel that the two editors, Ji Hongfei and Ding Hebei, felt that An Yi was talking nonsense before.

However, after An Yi directly used actions to prove himself, in the end, Ji Hongfei compromised and said: Popularity is what decides comics after all. If you, Mr. Yi An, can draw popular and commercially valuable comics with your creative method, Then I will give you such a privilege! But if the results of the new serialization are not good and the speed cannot keep up, then I hope Teacher Yi An will respect us.

I also agree with the editor-in-chief's proposal, but I also want to add that the average ranking of the readers' questionnaires in the first ten chapters is used to determine whether Mr. Yi An can retain such a privilege. What do you think Mr. Yi An has achieved? Ranking, can you retain such a privilege? Ding Hebei said.

Although Ding Hebei has seen the speed and quality of An Yi's paintings, far exceeding her imagination, but based on just one page of the original painting, of course it is impossible to tell whether An Yi can draw a new series with commercial value. And she still felt that An Yi's behavior of leaving the editor alone was nothing but nonsense!

Commercial comics originally had routines and techniques. A pure newcomer cartoonist like An Yi, who relies on talent to make a living, may be able to draw short comics that are widely acclaimed, but if he doesn’t learn some routines and techniques for long-form serial comics, he will definitely be able to draw. no!

However, the editor-in-chief Ji Hongfei was also right, since An Yi wanted to mess around, let her mess around a bit, even if she hit a wall.

Ding Hebei hoped that An Yi, who had run into a wall, would obediently draw a storyboard draft before drawing the original draft, and then discuss with her to create a popular work together.

So Ding Hebei directly proposed to use the ranking of the reader survey form of the top ten new chapters to decide everything!

Originally, in Kingdom of Martial Arts, the rule is: after the new serialization debuts, based on the ten chapters, the reader's opinions of each issue during the period are integrated, and then the fate of the work is determined based on this.

The data of each issue will be faithfully reflected in the front and rear positions of the comics layout, but the first place will always be reserved for the pillars or works that experience special moments (such as the debut of the first episode and the anniversary), and there will be about one to two new serials. months are treated leniently.

But obviously, Ding Hebei didn't even want to give An Yi a restless time of one or two months.

If the popularity index continues to rank at the bottom, regardless of the quality of the work, it will be cut in half to make way for new serialization, which has resulted in many short-term serial works with only 10 to 20 issues.

For works that do not belong to the above two categories, there are also guidelines for color pages in the volume to express the support of the editorial department. This will generally make the work a slightly higher position than the actual popularity.

Generally, only midstream and downstream works can actively express their willingness to end to the editorial department, and conditions may also be added, such as launching a serial that surpasses or matches the current work within a limited period of time. Ending under these conditions can be described as fraught with risks, and the worst outcome of failure to fulfill may be to leave the ranks of Kingdom of Arms forever.

Why did Mr. Ke Yongqun's Shadow of Heroes continue to be painted after ten years? It is precisely because even he himself is unable to end such a work that has become the iconic work of Kingdom of Martial Arts...

The editorial department of the kingdom of martial arts aims to keep the number of serialized works at 20. The works with the last two ranks in the comprehensive ranking will be considered for cut in half, and the works with the tens of ranks can be classified as the middle and lower reaches.

However, starting from the first five years, the works that were cut in half will be transferred to the magazine supplement Village of Martial Arts, and several episodes will be serialized to ease the problem of unfinished endings. In addition, many authors have lost popularity because they rashly tried martial arts comics. Then he could only sadly leave the highest stage of Kingdom of Martial Arts, and transfer to other comic magazines under the China Culture Media Group.

Therefore, it can be said that the twenty comics on Kingdom of Martial Arts are all works of senior martial arts cartoonists who have worked hard for many years, and each has its own readership. After the serialization conference, after starting a new serialization, in the end, it was hard to escape the fate of being cut in half!

Ji Hongfei couldn't help being amused when he heard Ding Hebei's suppressed dissatisfaction tone. Before coming, this little editor Ding was really full of affection for Teacher Yi An, and he was full of enthusiasm for discussing new ideas with Teacher Yi An. The enthusiasm for serialization is now really angry.

But if you think about it, if Ji Hongfei hadn't always been a big man, then An Yi would really be pissed off by An Yi if he were an ordinary editor. Arrogant to such an extent!

Let's be in the top ten, the top ten in the main issue of Kingdom of Martial Arts! This goal is already very high for newcomer cartoonists. But the storyboard drafts of the first three episodes... well, it's the original draft, I hope Mr. Yi An It can be drawn as soon as possible, no matter what, we still have to figure out the situation at the serialization meeting. Ji Hongfei said.

Ji Hongfei is actually quite happy now, because after he compromised and agreed to give An Yi such privileges temporarily, it meant that An Yi would become the contracted cartoonist of Kingdom of Martial Arts!

Top ten? The requirements are too low. If there is no top five, I won't draw martial arts comics. An Yi said solemnly.

Ding Hebei originally thought that the editor-in-chief's demands on An Yi seemed too high, after all, she is a novice who has never serialized comics... But when she heard An Yi say this again, she almost knelt down for An Yi!

What does the top five mean...An Yi, a comic book novice, really understands?
