Chapter 12 Teacher Yi An's Manuscript

Anli walked into this office building belonging to the China Culture Media Group. "The Kingdom of War" is the largest-circulated comic magazine in China, and is also affiliated with this media group.

An Li, who held the original manuscript, filled out the form according to the requirements of the front desk, and then called Ding Hebei, the female editor who made an appointment with An Li.

Anli was arranged to meet the other party in the reception room No. 2. Just as he walked towards the reception room No. 2, he heard a voice like this coming from the reception room No. 1: "No need to read it. Just a painter is still far from being able to publish in a magazine, let alone serializing it."

Then, a young man in thin clothes came out of the reception room in a dusty face and glanced at An Li who was holding the original manuscript in his hand. He had a feeling of compassion for him. He nodded slightly at An Li, and then passed by An Li. Obviously, he felt that An Li would be rejected in this merciless way.

At this time, the slightly fat editor also came out, with a pair of glasses on his face. When he saw An Li, he said lightly: "Are you here to contribute?"

An Li thought this person was quite serious and serious. No wonder the young man just came out of the reception room and was so dirty. It was really worth getting along with such a serious person.

An Li nodded and said, "Yes, my editor and Ms. Ding Hebei have made an appointment."

The serious editor nodded and prepared to leave. He didn't make an appointment with him anyway, so he naturally didn't have to take responsibility.

In the view of this editor named Pei Yong, among the countless people who contributed to "The Kingdom of Martial Arts", they don't know if one percent of them can actually publish comics in magazines. Many people just try their luck with their passion.

For example, the young man just now had a terrible painter. He only bought a few books such as "Teaching You to Learn to Draw Comics for a Month", and then started writing after learning it. I don't know where he got the courage and confidence that he dared to contribute to the industry's largest comic magazine "The Kingdom of Martial Arts"...

Even if you don’t look at the painter, you can just look at it and imitate the plot of Teacher Ke Yongqun’s “Xiaying”, which makes Pei Yong completely uninterested in watching it.

However, when Pei Yong saw Ding Hebei appearing from the editorial department on the 12th floor very quickly in the reception room on the first floor, with enthusiasm and expectation on his face, he couldn't help but look surprised.

Pei Yong and Ding Hebei are old colleagues, so they naturally know what the other person's personality is. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is more harsh than him.

There are all kinds of editors in the comics industry. There are editors who can’t contact them during the day and they can’t contact them at night but must be in a nightclub. However, such editors have a vision comparable to Bole and can discover thousands of miles of horses from newcomers.

Both Pei Yong and Ding Hebei are such very coquettish editors. They are meticulous in their work and cannot tolerate any carelessness. But Pei Yong does not think that he will do something like Ding Hebei has done that has become a legend in the industry.

She once told a newcomer who had published comics once in other comic magazine supplements: "You have great potential to bring all the finished manuscripts."

After hearing this, the newcomer was very excited. This is the optimistic view of the editors of "The Kingdom of Martial Arts". Who doesn't know that the editors of "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" have excellent qualities and outstanding vision?

Then, in the expectant gaze of the newcomer, after Ding Hebei read the original manuscript brought by the other party for the tenth time, he put the original manuscript into the paper shredder in front of the newcomer without saying anything...

As a result, the newcomer was completely stunned at first, and then of course he was very angry and almost wanted to beat the female editor who played him. Everyone knew that it was really a matter of exhausting to draw the original manuscript. Not everyone can be as talented as An Yi.

In "The Sword of Yue Girl" and "The Sword of Eternal Life", there is only one picture of "Xizi holding the heart", which consumes An Yi's mind, and other places are all completed in one go!

In the end, the newcomer endured it, turned this anger and unwillingness into motivation, worked harder to draw comics, and eventually became a popular cartoonist.

Only then did Ding Hebei reveal the truth. It turned out that she thought the original manuscript she cut was actually very interesting, but she thought that he should not be praised at that time, so that he could create better works, so in impulse, he put the original manuscript into the paper shredder.

By the way, Ding Hebei knew that the newcomer's personality was indomitable, otherwise she would not have done this on purpose.

If her behavior did this to a fragile author, she might just hit her so hard that she didn't want to draw comics anymore...

Later, the author thanked Ding Hebei, and the two of them smiled and wiped out their grudges.

From this slightly comic-like thing, we can see that the editor Ding Hebei is a very responsible but very harsh person to the author. He always has a cold face.

But now, her face was filled with enthusiasm and expectation, which was really abnormal!

Pei Yong suddenly became curious about the young man who brought the manuscript. Then, when he accidentally saw the original bag with the signature "Yi An", he shook his whole body slightly and his eyes lit up. It turned out to be the original manuscript of Teacher Yi An!

He couldn't help but remember what happened two days ago. Ding Hebei was reviewing the contribution of the "Up Up Show" Newcomer Award assigned to her, and suddenly stood up with a sense of shock and ecstasy on his face, which immediately attracted the attention of all the editors in the office!

Although the final judges are composed of the editor-in-chief of the four editorial groups of "The Kingdom of War" and all popular cartoonists who have been serialized on "The Kingdom of War", if the works submitted are to appear in front of the judges, the first thing to do is to pass the review and editor-in-chief level.

If an editor is interested in a certain work, he will take the initiative to contact the author first to discuss the modifications, and then jointly modify the original manuscript better before submitting it to the final judges.

In the end, the jury will first select ten candidate works, and then choose from these ten works to get gold, silver and bronze. Generally, there will be no more than five works that can win.

When Ding Hebei found that all the editors were watching her, she quickly returned to her calmness, and then said unsurprisingly: "I think there is no suspense about the gold award for the 'ups rising stars' newcomer award this time!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was silent, because anyone who was familiar with Ding Hebei's style knew that she was not a person who liked to speak big things!
