254 The only candidate
When editor-in-chief Hotan heard Xiong Zexin raise the difficulties he encountered, he said to her: "Are you helping Teacher Qin Han find a comic assistant? You can go to Fan Gang for this matter. He was responsible for the preliminary review of the contributions for the Spring Newcomer Awards, and there should be many suitable candidates on hand."
Under the guidance of editor-in-chief Wada, Kumazexin found a strong figure, like a weightlifter's fantasy.
"Izukuan, do you have a new cartoonist with good skills? I want to recommend a few people to be assistants to Teacher Qin Han." Xiong Zexin asked.
"Oh, wait a moment." Because of busy work, I slept in the office last night, and rummaged on the pile of tables while eating bucket noodles.
Soon, he found several original manuscripts of comics in kraft paper bags.
"These are all the newcomers who have not been selected in the spring, but the editorial department feels that they still have certain strength, so they have retained submissions. You can take a look at them yourself and choose whoever they think is suitable. There is a contact information on the paper bag."
Xiong Ze expressed his gratitude, took the manuscripts to his seat, and began to read each manuscript carefully.
What Qin Han needed was people who could be used immediately after taking over as a comic assistant, and they needed to have a certain foundation in comic creation.
If the assistant I found is an outsider who knows nothing except enthusiasm and enthusiasm, and can only start with the work of painting coloring and pasting paper, then it will be completely meaningless.
Xiong Zexin carefully looked through the failed submissions.
I have to say that there are indeed very good reasons why these manuscripts were not selected.
Some have a unique style of painting and completely distorted character proportions. Some do not even have the most basic painting skills, and the lines drawn are crooked, like earthworms crawling.
Some stories are too stream of consciousness, and the content told in the two pages of the drawings are completely unrelated.
"I was a little envious of Fan Gang before, thinking that it was a good job to be responsible for the preliminary review of newcomers' rewards and submissions. Maybe I could find a future comic master. Now it seems that I realized that this is really a torment. Not anyone's drawings are the same as Teacher Qin Han's, and they look pleasing to the eye and enjoyment..."
Xiong Zexin frowned and read the submissions one by one.
However, she did not find any suitable candidate. The only one she liked, after calling, said that she had lost interest in drawing comics and was preparing to apply for an animation company and become an animator.
"I hope the last person can meet the requirements, otherwise I will have to take the time to do it again today." Xiong Zexin took out the kraft paper bag, took out the drawings, and read them page by page.
This comic submission tells the story of a college student who suddenly entered the peach blossom period and became popular, and then had an entanglement with many cute girls and opened the palace.
This kind of comic that has no highlights in the plot and can see the traces of serious imitation, it is indeed impossible to get the Spring Newcomer Award, only the one who loses the election.
However, after reading a few pages of the original manuscript, Xiong Zexin's face gradually turned red.
Because, in this comic, some descriptions of intimate behaviors between men and women are too extreme and too real. Fortunately, there is no detailed expression of a certain part, otherwise, it would be a complete r18 comic.
Kumaze Shin worked in a male-to-communication magazine with a larger scale like "young_animal". He has read a lot of over-the-top content and missed some drawings. It can be said that he is already a female driver who has seen many battles. However, this time, he was still shocked by Xiaoxiao.
Moreover, although the story of this contributor is mediocre and has no highlights, his style is very exquisite - it is also very "practical" for men.
Just looking at his painting skills, he is not only a standout in the Newcomer Awards contributions in the Spring Festival, but even many cartoonists who have serialized in "young_animal" are completely incomparable.
"Well, look at the author's character style and the use of lines, it seems that there is a shadow of Qin Han teacher..." Xiong Zexin also knew that now in the comics industry, many people have begun to imitate and learn the style of Qin Han, so it is not surprising.
After reading the complete drawings, she finally smiled: "It's great. Finally, I found someone with good strength and can recommend it to Teacher Qin Han."
She looked at the kraft paper bag and the contact information of the contributor left behind, and knew that the author's name was Sabuki.
So Xiong Zexin immediately picked up the phone.
On the other side, Sabuki, who was wearing blue and white striped work clothes and working in the Rosen convenience store, was busy replenishing the goods on the shelves.
Hearing the ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang, he took it out and saw that it was actually the phone call from the editorial department of "young_animal". He quickly apologized to the store manager and ran to the lounge to answer the phone.
"Hello, I'm Sabuki Joon." After pressing the answer button, Sabuki Joon felt his heart beating very hard.
Previously, he received a notice from the editorial department of "young_animal" telling him that he had not passed the primary election for the Spring Newcomer Award. Shun Sabuki was very hit and even felt a little discouraged for a while.
But now, the editorial department of "young_animal" calls again, which seems to have brought things a turnaround.
"Did my submission be elected for some reason?" Sabuki Jun thought.
But things seemed to be different from his expectations.
On the other end of the phone, it was not because he had had a conversation with him, but because he was a female voice.
"Hello, Sabusan, I am the editor of "young_animal", Kuma Zexin. Although your submission has not passed the preliminary review of the Spring Newcomer Award, I admire Sabusan's painting skills after reading the manuscript."
When Sabuki heard the other party mention that he was not selected, his expression was a little stiff, but after the other party praised his painting skills, he smiled a little proudly.
"I just have been in the industry for a long time, and I only have more time to draw than others."
"So Bosan is no longer a pure newcomer, so why do you still want to participate in the newcomer reward? What works did you have before?"
"Uh... that... I used to mainly serialize comics in "comic_Zhen Ji"..."
"Comic_Zhen Ji? What kind of comic magazine is that? I don't seem to have heard of it."
Sabuki stuttered: "It's... a r18 comic magazine."
After all, drawing such comics is not a job that can make people straighten their chests, and it is difficult to even tell their parents and relatives seriously.
Xiong Zexin has no prejudice. For comics practitioners like her, there is no distinction between the subject matter.
