Chapter 2 Cooperation
Although he felt that the work of The Garden of Words was very appealing to him, it would be useless if it wasn't to the magazine editor's appetite.
Chu Yu's consciousness was immersed in the system space, and Chu Yu's heart was really itchy when he saw the works of the earth plane floating in the system space showing an unlocked state.
Because unlocking those works requires world points of varying values.
The only way to get world points, according to the system, is that Chu Yu became a cartoonist, and he obtained it by disseminating comic works on the earth plane. The more popular the works, the more world points obtained. Of course, this is ideal. Happening.
The reality is that the novice reward when the system is bound, and the free work The Garden of Words and Leaves is facing the embarrassing situation that no one has asked for it for ten days.
In this regard, Chu Yu was also helpless.
Forget it, if the editors of the three magazines don't like it, they can publish it on the Internet for free.
Anyway, as long as the work is spread in this world, no matter what channel, as long as someone reads it and thinks that the work is good-looking, there will be some money in the world. Not far.
With a sigh, Chu Yu was disturbed by the class bell and exited the system space.
At this moment, the mobile phone in Chu Yu's pocket suddenly vibrated.
Chu Yu picked up the phone and looked at it, his eyes suddenly condensed.
A text message came from the phone.
"Hello, I'm Su Yan, the editor of Cuttlefish Comics. The magazine has the intention of cooperating with your work, Yan Ye Zhi Ting. You are now invited to come to the magazine for an interview tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning. The location is."
Although Chu Yu wanted to keep his face expressionless and cool, he finally pretended to say "this is the expected result".
But the unbearable smile on his face betrayed him. After all, the works he copied over more than ten days were recognized by some people, so he really couldn't keep a low profile.
After ten days of waiting, it finally arrived.
So after a few seconds, Chu Yu found that the whole class was staring at him intently.
In front of Chu Yu, the math teacher, an old man in his fifties looked at him with a bad expression.
The smile on Chu Yu's face solidified.
Ten o'clock the next morning.
Chu Yu came to the office of Cuttlefish Comics, which is located on the 18th floor of a building in the city center.
After explaining the purpose of his visit, under the leadership of the lady at the front desk, Chu Yu passed through the noisy office area and entered an office.
The office area is not large, only about ten square meters, with an office chair and a desk.
All kinds of materials and drawings were placed on the table in a mess, and a woman with black-framed eyes lowered her head and carefully looked at the drawings in front of her.
Her reading speed was slow at first, and then became faster and faster, but in the end, she roughly browsed the work.
"No, the level is too different!"
The woman shook her head.
"Hello!" Chu Yu interrupted her at the right time.
Because Chu Yu saw that she was ready to reach out to the next work.
It's too concentrated, I've been in for two minutes, haven't you noticed me yet?
"Wow!" Su Yan was a little startled.
Raising his head, a fair and delicate face faced Chu Yu, with doubts in his eyes.
"You are?"
"I'll introduce myself first." Chu Yu didn't dislike this kind of serious people.
"The real name is Chu Yu, and the pseudonym is Shui Xin."
"I received a text message from you yesterday."
"Are you, Teacher Shui Xin?" Su Yan's eyes widened, and he saw Chu Yu from head to feet, and from feet to head.
"You are a male?"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Chu Yu's face.
"Uh, do I look like a woman?"
"Ah! I'm sorry, that's not what I meant, but I always thought that Teacher Shui Xin who drew the Garden of Words was a girl. After all, it's a comic of this type, and it's also a pseudonym." Su Yan also hurriedly waved his hand.
The pen name is also very feminine, right?
Chu Yu knew what Su Yan wanted to say.
To be honest, it is reasonable for the other party to have such an idea. After all, in the Dragon Kingdom, most male cartoonists prefer reasoning, suspense, and battle royale comics, similar to youth comics such as the Garden of Words. It is more of a female manga home.
As for the pseudonym "Shui Xin", it is homophonic "casual".
After all, Chu Yu is a person who is very entangled in choosing a pseudonym.
"Oh, by the way, it's the first time we met, I am Su Yan, the editor of the Cuttlefish Comics Club." Only then did Su Yan realize that he had not introduced himself to Chu Yu for a long time.
"Please take a seat!" Su Yan's face became straight, and he pointed to the chair next to him.
After Chu Yu sat down.
"I'm not talking nonsense anymore, I'll get to the point immediately." Su Yan looked at Chu Yu and said.
"Mr. Chu Yu, this comic company received your submission for your work The Garden of Words and Leaves eight days ago, and the reviewer of this work is me."
Su Yan looked at Chu Yu, and the language was organized in his mind.
"To be honest, after reading this work, I personally think that in terms of story, structure, and style of painting, this work is fully qualified to be serialized in the comic magazine "Manying" under our Cuttlefish Comics Club. !"
"Hmm!" Chu Yu nodded again and again on the surface, but he was complaining inside.
Don't you mean to get into the theme, why are you talking about all this?
Didn't you ask me to sign the contract, come out with the contract!
"but."
Su Yan suddenly changed his tone.
Chu Yu breathed slightly.
Has things changed?
"I made this opinion to the editor-in-chief at the serialization meeting three days ago, but it was rejected."
"Rejected?" Chu Yu frowned slightly.
"Why, the editor-in-chief thinks that the Garden of Words and Leaves will not work?"
"It's not that I don't think it's impossible." Su Yan said.
"It's too short!"
no?
too short?
For a while, Chu Yu had an unnatural expression.
"There are many journals under this comic club, but the most famous is the comic journal "Manying"."
"Manying" Tongfengyu Comics' "Tianyin Comics" and Longya Comics' "Fire Dragon Comics" are also known as the three major comic journals in Los Angeles."
"Its sales channels are all over the province's large, medium and small cities, and the sales volume per issue is more than 300,000."
"The comics serialized on it are at least twenty episodes or more."
"But Teacher Shui Xin, your Garden of Words is over in only seven chapters."
"so."
"That's why Gui Comics felt that the Garden of Words, as a short story, had little commercial value, so it didn't agree to its serialization?" Chu Yu's frowning brows gradually stretched, and he sighed lightly.
Sure enough, things didn't go so well!
Chu Yu is not an unreasonable person. Although he thinks that the manga work of Yan Ye Zhi Ting is very good, he has nothing to say if the manga company cheats his work for commercial reasons. What about the manga boss?
After he figured it out, he could see it.
It's just a pity this work.
"Then, Miss Su Yan, you asked me to come here today just to inform me in person that my work has been eliminated?"
"You can send a text message for this kind of thing, so that I don't have to skip class to come to this meeting!" Chu Yu shook his head and said.
"Skip?" Su Yan was stunned. Judging from Chu Yu's age, she could see that she was a student, but she didn't expect him to skip class.
However, Chu Yu just complained casually, and didn't even mean to blame Su Yan. After all, the other party helped him win a chance, although he didn't succeed!
"If that's the case, let's stop here for today!" Chu Yu got up and prepared to leave without being sloppy.
"Wait a moment."
"I'm not done talking yet!"
From behind, Su Yan's voice came out.
Chu Yu turned around and looked at Su Yan.
"Teacher Shui Xin, you are too impatient!"
Su Yan looked helpless.
"Although the editor-in-chief disagrees with the serialization of Ye Zhiting on Manying."
"However, I still think this work is excellent. After discussing with the editor-in-chief, he agreed that this work can be serialized on "Ink Shadow", another journal of our comics."
"Today I asked Teacher Shui Xin to discuss this matter with the teacher."
"The teacher's contribution to the Garden of Words is to be serialized on Manying, but if the teacher is willing, our comic club is willing to serialize the teacher's work on Moying."
"I just don't know what you think, Teacher Shui Xin!"
Opposite Chu Yu, Su Yan had a serious expression.
Ink shadow?
Chu Yu thought for a while.
This is another comic journal under the Moyu Comics Club. It specializes in publishing some short comics. However, the quality of the works published on it is basically average. Compared with the signature Manying under the Moyu Comics Club, Moying is undoubtedly much less influential. The sales of each journal are in the tens of thousands.
However, do I have a choice?
Chu Yu smiled bitterly.
Now he has Baoshan but no Baoshan key.
In the comic system, each work is in an unlocked state of slumber, waiting to be unlocked by the world points he acquired through the spread and popularity of the Garden of Words.
Although the sales of ink shadows are average, it is always better to serialize the Garden of Words and Leaves on it than to upload the works to the Internet for free by Chu Yu to gain popularity!
So Chu Yu returned to his seat in only three seconds.
He looked at Su Yan with a smile on his face.
"I think we can discuss the specific cooperation details!"
