Chapter 3: High School Entrance Exam

However, in the following weeks, a flash of inspiration flashed like a flash of time and never appeared again.

If it weren't for the picture still in hand, Meng Huo would definitely think he had a daydream. He was worried about how to get back that feeling and didn't even continue to draw the comics.

He decided to submit the first chapter first. Two days before the high school entrance examination, Meng Huo found information on comic submissions in the bookstore, and two companies entered his vision.

The first is the comprehensive publishing company Longteng Company. This company mainly publishes literary works, novels, and its comics industry is also an industry giant, which almost monopolizes all well-known cartoonists. The second is Phoenix Company, which focuses on comic publishing. The scale and market of this company are not as good as Longteng, but it gives new cartoonists the highest remuneration.

Meng Huo submitted the original manuscript to Phoenix Company. He felt that Longteng Company, which monopolizes excellent novel resources, may not be able to like him, and the manuscript fee is also very important.

The editorial department of Phoenix Company is in Ninghai City, the second largest city in China. It is still some time before the comics are delivered and the results are released. Meng Huo focused on the high school entrance examination in Jiangnan Province.

The entire high school entrance examination lasted for three days, and I never forget to remember that Meng Huo was as good as a fish in water after reading it. He believed that he could get full marks in most subjects, but Meng Huo didn't want to be too exaggerated. He deliberately left mistakes on each test paper, without a full mark.

Chinese is arranged on the last day, and it is the subject that China attaches most importance to.

Meng Huo estimated the scores of the previous exams. He felt that the score was still too high, so he could lower it again, as long as he could enter most high schools.

However, unexpected things happened. Not long after the exam bell rang, an inspiration flashed and appeared again.

At that time, Meng Huo was writing his name. He felt that the whole test paper was clear like a slow motion screening, and even he was confident in solving the problem.

Meng Huo was very excited in this state, and he couldn't help but start writing quickly.

"Swish swish swish swish!" The quick sound of writing attracted the attention of an invigilator behind him. He frowned and walked before checking, but he almost dropped his chin.

Meng Huo's hand moved from the test paper like a harvester. He almost didn't have to think about it, and all the blank areas were quickly filled with words. The invigilator himself was a Chinese teacher. He felt that Meng Huo's answer was unexpectedly accurate, so accurate that he felt like he was cheating.

He quietly took out the electronic instrument to scan it, but there was no reaction, not cheating.

"Isn't it cheating?"

The invigilator was full of shock. When he looked at it again, he found that Meng Huo had turned over the test paper and the speed in his hand still did not stop.

What kind of monster is this? - He was stunned.

Then when Meng Huo woke up from the "light of inspiration", his pen just ended his composition.

The remaining two invigilators gathered around at some point. They looked down at the test paper, their eyes looking dull.

"Ten...Ten minutes!"

A teacher looked at the clock on the wall, pushed his glasses and asked stammeringly, "Are you done?"

It was a miracle! These three invigilators had never seen a student who did the papers so quickly, and there was no sign of cheating, just as if they had memorized the answers long ago.

Meng Huo nodded calmly: "Well, I want to hand over the paper."

He stood up to pack up his stationery, and the other students in the examination room looked over in shock.

Silent.

It was not until Meng Huo left the teaching building that an invigilator remembered the most critical question. He ran out and shouted: "Hey, wait, it's not time to hand over the paper!"

But Meng Huo did not look back. The high school entrance examination in this world will not be awarded zero points because of handing in advance. Jiangnan Province has a total score of 750 points. Meng Huo feels that he should have more than 650 points, and his score is very sufficient.

A few days after the end of the high school entrance examination.

On June 18, Phoenix Building, Ninghai City.

The editorial team of "Weekly Boys" and Ye Xiong, who just started working, looked at the report with a depressed look. The sales of magazines have decreased. Weekly Boys Comics is their most popular magazine, but their sales are still far from that of Longteng Company.

"Did you get the strategic positioning wrong?"

In recent years, Ye Xiong had this idea countless times, but immediately shook his head and denied it: "No, it is definitely not wrong to take the original path!"

Phoenix Company focuses on original comics, while Longteng Company prefers novels. Phoenix Company’s capital and scale cannot be compared with Longteng Company, so Ye Xiong thinks that originality is their only way out.

However, over the years, why has the company's performance still been lukewarm?

"The cartoonist is still lacking talented cartoonist."

Ye Xiong couldn't help but sigh that the rise of comics was too short, resulting in the uneven quality of cartoonists, and this problem can only be solved by time.

However, he felt very unwilling to accept that the comics industry is developing rapidly, and now many children are working hard here. It can be foreseen that original comics will become the mainstream in five or six years. However, he cannot be the editor-in-chief for a long time, and the result of hard work is to build a bridge for future generations.

Why can't a comic genius come up in advance?

Just like hearing Ye Xiong's voice, an editor suddenly screamed and stood up, sprinkling the original manuscripts of the cartons beside him all over the floor.

"Haha, Professor Yang, have you seen the cockroach again?"

The entire editorial department burst into laughter. The editors knew that the young editor named Sun Yang was just as brave as a woman. When he saw the mouse, he couldn't help screaming.

"No, no, I have to clean it!" Sun Yang blushed and raised the manuscript in his hand excitedly: "Look, everyone, I have discovered a genius!"

"genius?"

"Isn't that a newcomer's contribution? How can a newcomer have a genius!"

The other editors did not believe it, and the editor-in-chief Ye Xiong did not believe it, but he still said, "Take it and see it."

Phoenix Company pays great attention to cultivating new cartoonists, but the current situation is that hundreds of people recommend themselves every month, and very few of them can enter the eyes of editors. In the long run, even editor-in-chief Ye Xiong no longer has any hope.

He took the manuscript handed over by Sun Yang and frowned at first glance.

"Detective Conan"

The title almost made Ye Xiong throw it away. The popular boy comics nowadays focus on combat, and the detective themes are greatly restricted.

However, he still frowned and looked down. When he saw this, the plot development behind him was beyond imagination. This comic started with the first young detective in China as his howl. The protagonist's process of solving the case was quite straightforward, and finally led to an amazing dark curtain!

The content of one episode attracted Ye Xiong in just one episode. The original author's grasp of the readers' psychology was extremely impressive, and his painting skills were superb. It would not be possible to take shape without more than ten years of practice.

The most shocking thing is the last picture, which is amazing! Ye Xiong believes that there will be no abruptness in putting it in the gallery exhibition, but it is just an ordinary comic original!?

Ye Xiong was stunned. He stood up after half a salary, holding the table with both hands: "Genius..."

He trembled, and his long-term dream seemed to have found a breakthrough opportunity, which made Ye Xiong so excited that he couldn't help himself: "If you want to buy it, you must buy its copyright!"

If such an excellent comic is obtained by other companies, Ye Xiong will regret it for the rest of his life!

"Sun Yang!" He looked up and cursed at his subordinate in front of him: "Why are you still standing there? Give me the author's phone number!"
Chapter completed!
