Whenever the serial meeting begins, the atmosphere at the headquarters of the Weekly Youth Jump will begin to become solemn. An important step in the future is to determine which comics millions of readers of the Weekly Youth Jump see. This is also a meeting that comics that are not worthwhile and hope to enter.
Works that can enter the serialization conference represent hope of publishing a serial. Even if the probability is small, one-tenth, or even lower, there is always hope when submitted. More cartoonists are kicked out before publishing.
This is undoubtedly cruel, but there is no kindness in the comics industry. Whoever has more exciting and interesting comics is destined to be serialized, popular, best-selling, animation, and adaptations of various copyrights...
On the other hand, this is absolutely fair. Readers' eyes are always sharp. Even if there is some mercy, this is the meaning of the comic. Let more and more people see this comic.
When each serial meeting is started, the editors of the branch offices in major cities across the country will return to the headquarters in Tokyo to attend this serial meeting.
Even though the number of people was controlled, there were still as many as 20 editors who decided to serialize the meeting.
At this time, the headquarters of the weekly youth jump was busy.
"Hey hey hey! Hattori! What are you doing? Quickly submit the manuscript to the serial meeting and submit it. If you don't submit it, it will be too late!" An editor-in-chief said loudly to his editor.
"Oh? What are you doing? Didn't I ask you to send the manuscript here as soon as possible? What? Are you already on the road? Are you dreaming? Still on the road at this time? Do you know? The serial meeting is about to begin!"
"What? Have you arrived? OK, hurry up, really, it won't save me any worries, you bastard..."
"Where are you? Are you lost? What are you doing? I'll pick you up!"
"Submit the prepared manuscript as soon as possible. If you miss this serial meeting, you have to wait for many days. If you are qualified to submit it, please send it as soon as possible!"
I was busy until 9 o'clock, and this was the time when the serial meeting started.
The 20 editors came to the conference room that specialized in serial meetings. After each of them sat down, they passed on the manuscripts they brought to each other and the comments and analysis of the editors' comments and comments to all parties, and everyone quickly read all the manuscripts.
This is the first step. Among the numerous manuscripts, choose a serial that can be published.
This time, the manuscripts look like about 50 comics.
After careful selection, everyone selected 5 series of books that were qualified to be published from these 50 comics.
"Is it meaningless for everyone? These 5 books are qualified to be serialized." The editor-in-chief said with a narrowed eye.
"There is no objection. "The Chess Boy", "The End of the Day", "PPK—The Decisive Battle" and "First Meeting", these comics are all very outstanding! In addition to "The Chess Boy", and "The Chess Boy", the other three comics are all teachers who have experience in jump. The comics of these people are very experienced, especially the love comics of "The First Meeting", which makes people feel very touched."
"I think Mr. Shizuka's "The End" is very interesting, and the story is very exciting and courageous. As for "ppk--The Great Decisive Battle" I think there is something wrong with it."
"Well? Isn't this "PPK - The Great Battle" very good? Funny comics have unique advantages and funny points. Didn't you laugh when you just read it? What's wrong with it? As long as it's interesting enough, this teacher's comics are all like this. Although the style is not very good, the plot is completely nothing to say!"
"But I think this "is interesting, different interesting, a style that has never appeared before."
"This book is a bit adventurous, and I don't think it's very suitable for the style of a weekly boy jump."
"Although I think it's good, I agree with the post editor."
"The "Jiang Chess Boy" is also very interesting? Don't ignore this book casually, okay?"
"Although it's just a newcomer, it has endless potential!"
"This style looks familiar. Hey, it's not that the teacher has opened a new pseudonym to contribute, right? Hey, hey, this style may really be like this?"
"Hahaha, what you said is really right. This is probably the new pseudonym of that teacher!"
"What are you doing, this guy..."
"No matter what, let's confirm these comics that have serialization qualifications."
Listening to the messy discussions in the conference room, the editor-in-chief of the weekly boy jump nodded and said, "Okay, okay, the discussion has ended here. What you said makes sense. Now let's take the second step."
The second step is to determine the comics that need to be cut in half according to the number of serials.
In the reader questionnaire, if you always have a few comics at the end, you will be notified to cut them in half and give the author one or two back to a hasty ending.
However, even the comics at the end of the weekly boy jump are also very popular!
After all, this is a weekly teenage jump with an average sales of more than 5 million copies per week.
Even if some comics at the end are serialized enough, if there is a 50 episode, they will probably be selected by the animation production company and start animation.
Works that can be animated may provide feedback to comics. Therefore, even if a comic with less popularity is animated, it means that there is a life-saving talisman.
Because of this situation, it is a very difficult choice every time you choose which comic to cut in half.
After all, even the worst comics will bring a lot of benefits to the weekly boy jump!
However... this is a must-have movie. It is constantly absorbing new, interesting, comics. This is the way to survive for all comic magazines, including the weekly boy jump.
"Ahhh~ It's a headache. This time I have to decide, which books should be cut in half?"
"No matter what, it is impossible to cut 5 copies in half."
"So it's up to you, and you still have to go back to the question of which book to decide."
"What books are cut in half? The top three books are now preparing to be animated. Let's deny them for now. The other two books have become a bit boring in recent days. I have also received a lot of complaint letters! Although there is a radio drama in progress, it's better to cut it out!"
"There is no objection to this, and now the problem has come back to the beginning."
"Yes, which one should I serialize "The Chess Boy", "The End of the Day", "PPK—The Great Decisive Battle" and "First Meeting"?"
"I personally prefer "First Meeting" and "The Day of End".
...
...
The meeting lasted from 9 o'clock until 2 o'clock in the afternoon and did not end.
Such a critical piece, almost all editors must be cautious and cautious.
After the final vote, the number of votes for these books has been determined.
The first "First Meeting", the second "PPK-Great Battle", the third "The Day of Ending", the fourth "", and the fifth "The Chess Boy".
The last one is decided by the editor of the Weekly Youth Jump headquarters to decide which book to serialize.
After voting, the first and second are naturally preferred.
However, except for that book, "", the other four comics are all works by teachers who have experience in the weekly boy jump, which can be said to be very interesting!
However, there are only 2 published!
You have to make a choice of 5 choices.
Not only that, this book "" is no less than a few comics.
How to choose?
The editor-in-chief of the weekly boy jump pushed his eyes and was silent for a moment, and did not speak.
...
...
4 pm.
Xiao Liu and Maba went back together after school. They also knew that today was the day when the serial meeting started. They had never received a call, so they were inevitably a little nervous.
"It should be no problem, right?" Shiina Mashiro asked, holding the corner of Xiaoliu's clothes and raised his head.
"No problem." Xiao Liu said.
He was also a little impatient. Although he was full of confidence, there were still many accidents... You know, this was not the original world, but the weekly boy jump of another world, and his popularity was even more popular! Who knows, what accident would happen?
Suddenly, Xiao Liu's phone rang.
"It's the editor's phone number." Xiao Liu answered the phone and listened to the editor's words, and was silent for a while.
"Well, I understand." Xiao Liu's face suddenly became gloomy when she hung up the phone.
"No..." Shiina Mashiro looked at Xiao Liu's expression and couldn't help but say with disappointment. So many days of hardship have been wasted?
Xiaoliu hung up the phone and nodded.
Shiina Masashi pouted and almost cried.
"I'm lying to you!"
Xiao Liu's sudden change and said with a smile: "It's successful! Our comics have been successful. Through the serialization meeting, it will be officially published at the end of this month!"
"Ah? Ah? Ah?!" Shiina Mashiro was stunned and then shouted something that was not like her style.
"That's great!" Shiina Mabashi jumped up excitedly and hugged Xiaoliu tightly: "That's great, great!"
Shiina Mashiba, who was so happy that he did not take Xiao Liu's naughty teasing at all. At this moment, he was filled with excitement and happiness.
