Almighty Fat Goddess

Chapter 559 Difficult Serialization

The next day, after Watanabe Ito went to work, he received the submission of "Man Like a Pirate" again, and there were really two more words...

"Hehe, what a persistent and interesting manga author..."

……

Day [-]...

……

The first thing Watanabe Ito goes to work every day is to see where the plot of "Man Like a Pirate" is written, and he finds that he can't do without this manga...

While reading the latest submission, the old editor yelled across the table.

"Ito, it's a regular meeting, hurry up..."

It was only then that he remembered that today was Monday, and the company was going to have a monthly meeting, so he got up and went to the meeting room.

Their publishing house has a regular meeting on the 1st of every month, and needs to determine the new serial comics and other emergencies, so this time of every month is the time when the company has the most people, including some leaders who never show up. Investors will come.

The long table was full of people, most of the people around the table were the leaders of the company, and those sitting on the hard benches in the back were basically small editors, and Watanabe Ito sat in the far corner.

The editor-in-chief coughed and spoke.

"Let's discuss the new serialization first today."

The deputy editor-in-chief pushed his glasses and said:

"Now there are two vacancies. "Sakura Dancing" is over. "Beautiful Bride" has been disliked by readers for three consecutive weeks. The sales are too poor, and it is basically at a loss every day. We have decided to stop the serialization. The two vacated The serial number must be determined today."

The editor-in-chief sighed. Their publishing house is relatively small, and they can’t afford big cartoonists. They are too rubbish and they don’t like it, so they have to be careful every time they serialize, otherwise they will capsize. Even so, every month Corporate editors also often leave because there is absolutely no hope in sight.

"All the manuscripts recommended by your editors this month are here. Let's take a look again and choose two to go up."

The works recommended by various editors are already on the table.

All the leaders bowed their heads and flipped through the pages, while the recommended editor of the manuscript gave them an overview of the work.

"This won't work."

"Well, definitely not, I can't see what he wants to express at all, the logic is confusing, this kind of person can't draw comics at all, next..."

"The pace of this story is too slow. I bought a swimsuit and drew [-] episodes, but I didn't buy it in the end. What is the meaning of these [-] episodes?"

"This one is even more outrageous. I drew [-] chapters after eating and ordering food. I seriously doubt that the author is a chef or a foodie!"

"next."

"Huh? The idea of ​​this story is quite novel, and the technical level of the painting is not bad."

"But it needs to be changed a little bit. The background setting is not very good. But it's not a big problem."

"Next one, let's look at the others..."

……

Manuscripts were turned over one by one, and one after another was eliminated.

In the end, all the manuscripts were read, and only one "Vine on the Tree" barely caught the eyes of most people and was temporarily approved, and none of the others.

The editor-in-chief sighed, as if he couldn't come up with a better idea. You can't just do it casually in this business. If you do it, the readers will be even better. That would be like ruining your own job.

The deputy editor-in-chief coughed, and suddenly remembered that there was a new editor. He smiled and scanned the meeting room, and found Watanabe Ito in the corner.

"Ito, although you are the new editor, according to our regulations, you have to recommend an excellent manga work this month..."

Watanabe Ito let out a nervous cry, stood up from the corner, everyone looked at him, his heart beat faster, and wanted to find a manuscript to deal with, only to find that he accepted all the manuscripts that did not pass the review. Broken.

"Ito?"

"Oh... I, I, I... I recommend..."

He was stammering and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly saw "Man Like a Pirate" which he had brought in and hadn't finished reading yet, so he had no choice but to walk over with the manuscript and respectfully put it in the editor-in-chief's office. in front of.

"Editor-in-Chief, this is a contribution by a newcomer, whose pen name is Xiaobai. Although it was drawn by a newcomer, I think the story and plot are very good, and her drawing skills are very strong."

The editor-in-chief frowned.

"Didn't you debut?"

"No, pure rookie."

Another editor said: "The first work of a newcomer, in principle, cannot be directly serialized."

Watanabe Ito nodded awkwardly.

"I know, but the other party submitted almost twenty episodes in one go, and I read every episode. The continuity is very strong, and it fits the serial style of our glory animation."

Twenty words!Everyone was stunned, and then an editor asked in a low voice.

"Ito, do you recommend... "Man Like a Pirate"?"

"yes……"

Hearing Watanabe Ito's affirmative answer, all the editors who knew the inside story all suppressed their smiles, and some couldn't help but sprayed directly.

The editor-in-chief didn't review manuscripts, so he naturally didn't know about it, so he asked an editor next to him in a daze.

"What are you laughing at?"

The man replied embarrassedly.

"Editor-in-Chief, "A Man Like a Pirate" is too weird. It has submitted manuscripts to all the publishing houses of our animation center, and it has been submitted since very early, every day. But the setting of this comic is too strange Yes, and the character set is relatively small, so it was rejected by all publishing houses..."

Having said that, Watanabe Ito blushed even more, everyone thought he was dealing with an errand with "Man Like a Pirate", and immediately explained embarrassingly.

"Editor-in-Chief, this manga is really good. I read the latest serialization every day. Although the front is not very acceptable, after you read it, you will find that it is really..."

"Needless to say, you have been fired, now, immediately, take your luggage and get out of our company!"

The editor-in-chief angrily stood up and pushed people away. He thought that this was a manuscript that Watanabe and Ito was just messing with his salary, and that all publishing houses didn't like it. Why should he want to read it here?
In fact, there is another taboo in this industry, that is, submitting multiple manuscripts on one manuscript. Almost no editor is willing to share anyone's manuscript with other editors. No matter how good you are, it is the same as a car repair shop. If it is not repaired in other places, you will definitely have to pay a lot of money.

Just as Watanabe and Ito were about to leave dejectedly, an investor reached out and interrupted the embarrassing atmosphere.

"Wait a minute. Now that the manuscript is here, let's take a look. This artist can be considered a responsible artist if he insists on submitting manuscripts every day. We can't deny him without reading it!"

"Yeah, you won't lose anything if you take a look!"

"Let's take a look, there is still one serialization short, if there is no good work, we won't be able to do business this month..."

……

The investors had all spoken, so naturally no one dared not listen. Everyone lowered their heads and looked at it, and then they were dumbfounded for an instant.

"What is this?"

"This character is too casual!"

"The character design is second, mainly the background of the pirates? This is a bit too bold..."
