My Cartoonist Guide

"If "Y\'s" is involved, wouldn't it be better for you to go directly to Teacher Shen?"

Yan Fei also expressed her doubts after ordering a milk tea and a dessert.

"Oh, you said this... I think this is because of the nature of the job. The job of a cartoonist is to draw comics, not anything else."

"Yes, then?"

"So, I don't want to distract Teacher Shen because of these things. He only needs to draw a good cartoon. I can handle other things." Wang Wenhong said.

"What's the reward?" Yan Fei asked suspiciously. She didn't believe that Wang Wenhong was such a caring person.

"All said, I want to enter the field of vision of the three major journals. Of course, if you really want to repay it, it's not impossible. If the editor-in-chief of "ComicFuture" or "MangaFly" talks to you, you can tell me a little bit in front of them. , It's OK." Wang Wenhong said softly.

Yan Fei looked at Wang Wenhong more suspiciously, "Are you really so kind?"

"Am I a bad guy?" Wang Wenhong rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"That's hard to say." Yan Fei curled her lips.

"Don't worry, I don't want to dig up Teacher Shen. I just want to become the editor of "ComicFuture" or "MangaFly". However, with my current qualifications, I have no chance to enter these two magazines at all. I can only find another way. Let these The editor-in-chief turned his attention to "Y\'s". If "Y\'s" had the last laugh, and I played a role in it, my resume would be richer. In this way, you see. Right?"

Wang Wenhong looked helpless.

Yan Fei picked up the milk tea, took a sip, and then suddenly realized: "The editorial departments of these two magazines, shouldn't there be any vacancies?"

Wang Wenhong's face tightened, with an awkward smile on his face, "Yan Bian, you can guess all this...what should I say to you?"

He overheard Ye Hexu's editor mention this incident at Ye Hexu's book signing event.

"I'm not a fool... You should have gotten some clues, using the asymmetry of the two of us to engage in some mysterious actions." Yan Fei sneered.

Wang Wenhong waved his hand, "You really wronged me. Even if I tell you, there are some things you can't do. After all, we two have different styles of doing things."

Yan Fei nodded. This is a fact. At least she never does the work of digging other people's assistants.

"Then you said, what did you inquire about?" Yan Fei asked.

"You know, the judgment rules of the third stage, right?"

"Well, seven magazines are voting."

"General." Wang Wenhong shook his finger, "To be more detailed, it means that seven magazines voted on five works several times and were eliminated at the end until one of the works had more than 4 votes."

Yan Fei remained silent. It was indeed the first time she knew about these contents.

"Guess, what is the biggest difficulty "Y\'s" faces?"

Yan Fei shook her head.

Wang Wenhong sighed, "The editor-in-chief of the magazine that participated in the voting may not have read all the five volumes of "Y\'s" comics."

"How is it possible?" Yan Fei's first thought came out of Wang Wenhong's nonsense, "How could the judges have not seen such a high-end award at the comics festival?"

"It is the highest award, yes, and even to ensure fairness, certain precautions have been taken. For example, if the works of magazines participate in the third stage, their voting qualifications will be replaced by other magazines. Instead of them The magazine is randomly selected from the candidate magazines.

"The chief editors of the three major magazines and the four magazines with sales of 1.5 million copies may have seen all the participating comics, but the editors of the randomly selected magazines may not have seen all the works.

"The popular works of the three major magazines, as the vane of the comics market, many magazine editors will let their authors imitate, and even wish to analyze each of these works clearly. However, they treat " "Y\'s" has the opposite attitude, and even deliberately avoids "Y\'s"."

Yan Fei held the milk tea cup with both hands. She suddenly thought of a situation, "Jealous?"

"Yes. Their magazine and "NewWorld" may be at the same level, or even better than "NewWorld". When they see a second-rate magazine such as "Y\'s" suddenly appear as a big seller, they will have one This kind of rejection from the heart. This may just be their subconscious behavior, but in some ways, it is indeed very detrimental to small magazines.

"You should now know why the three major journals have won the most awards in the past ten years, right?"

Yan Fei's palms were full of sweat.

If the editor-in-chief of the candidate magazine has never read comics other than the three major magazines, when it comes to the selection, it is indeed possible that the crowd will follow the trend.

This is not what they did deliberately, but they have not read the cartoons of other magazines and do not know the quality of the cartoons. In order to cover up their ignorance, they can only follow the trend.

It sounds unbelievable, but if you think about it carefully, it is possible, because the comic festival does not only judge the "Newcomer Award", there are other awards that need to be judged, including the most eye-catching "Annual Best Comic Award".

The entries for this award are almost the leaders of various magazines. In the end, which comic can win the award, and what are the reasons for the failure of other comics, must be concluded.

During the one-week meeting, it is almost impossible to read all the entries. They can only pick the key comics to read.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Wenhong’s rhetoric is not unreasonable, but--

"How do you know so clearly?" Yan Fei asked in confusion.

Wang Wenhong took a bite of dessert and the corners of his mouth cocked, "I remember I told you, I am on overnight school, right?"

"Yeah." Yan Fei nodded.

"My teacher in the evening school used to be the editor-in-chief of a second-rate magazine, but that magazine has closed down, so he temporarily worked as a lecturer in the evening school. Last week, he drank too much and was bragging. At that time, he said that he had participated in the voting for the comics festival, and he leaked the news.

Yan Fei rubbed her forehead, this guy is really out of luck.

"What are you going to do?"

"That's my business." Wang Wenhong said confidently.

"Tell you~www.readwn.com~ if you dare to make the reputation of "Y\'s"..."

"Don't talk nonsense, okay? I still want to cooperate with Teacher Shen!" Wang Wenhong interrupted Yan Fei, "Besides, you are slandering me."

"That's because you have done'dirty' things." Yan Feisi did not show mercy to Wang Wenhong.

"If the result of the comic festival satisfies you and Mr. Shen, then once the three major publications dig you and Mr. Shen, you must mention me, even if you don't really recommend it." Wang Wenhong warned, "This is my condition. Of course, if you think I have any small actions at that time, you can also refuse."

"You're so sure, they will find me?" Yan Fei asked puzzledly.

"Not sure. If I were the editor-in-chief of the three major journals, I would definitely be interested in the responsible editor of "Y\'s". Of course, your attitude will not be too firm, but there will always be a sense of temptation. What if'the blind cat hits a dead mouse'?" Wang Wenhong said afterwards.

You are the mouse!

Yan Fei gritted her teeth, her voice low, "Yes, but only if...you can't use ‘dirty’ methods."

"Dirty...dirty?" Wang Wenhong rubbed his nose, "that...change the word? I don't need shameful means."

"Deal."

Yan Fei lifted the milk tea and touched Wang Wenhong's coffee cup, which was a final decision.
