Chapter 659 The "Imperial Examination" In the Comics World

"Keep watching." Du Ziyuan leaned back on the chair, took an apple and took a bite.

Although Pei Mingyang was puzzled, this guy's previous works were always amazing, so even if the beginning was mediocre, he still had a little expectation. Even Madoka's poisonous comics can make him turn around, what else can't he do?

After the farce at the beginning, the protagonist of the first unit of "Fox Demon" officially debuted. He is the prince of the Fox Clan in the Western Regions, Fan Yunfei.

The story of Fan Yunfei and Li Xueyang is actually quite simple, the conflict between the two is entirely because of Fan Yunfei's bad dad. However, because it is the first story, the main purpose is to let readers understand the core setting of the whole story, so it is more appropriate to keep it simple.

After reading this story, Pei Mingyang felt his eyes a little sore. After all, Fan Yunfei waited for Li Xueyang for 900 years, failed several times, and finally achieved a positive result again in this life, which is very touching.

Seeing him put down the drawing, Du Ziyuan asked, "How is it?"

Pei Mingyang said: "To be honest, if you evaluate it with a full score of 10, the creativity is very good, the picture is 12 points, and the storyline is 7 points. If it is placed in the hands of other cartoonists, it can be regarded as the best, but if you compare it with your previous works , this can only be regarded as the worst."

Even though Du Ziyuan has now become a cartoonist at the supreme god level, as an editor, Pei Mingyang will still give the most pertinent opinions. If it's not good, it's not good. He would never compliment Du Ziyuan just because he was afraid of getting angry.

Du Ziyuan didn't have any rebuttal to this: "That's about it. Anyway, I didn't intend to make it well received by the first story. The main thing is to let everyone understand what the concept of reincarnation is. The real effort lies in behind."

"What about the rest?" Pei Mingyang flipped through the manuscript and found that there was no follow-up story.

"Don't worry, I will give it to you in due course."

Pei Mingyang has known Du Ziyuan for so long, and Pei Mingyang can probably guess what he is thinking: "Have you not painted yet?"

"Uh...you discovered all of this?" Du Ziyuan shrugged, and he didn't mean to deny it. Recently, I have been catching up with the animation of "Holy Grail War Zero". After finishing the first unit of "Fox Demon", he didn't draw any more.

However, this time Pei Mingyang did not urge an update, but said: "You can wait for the comics. Anyway, the promotion will take time. Can you hand in the follow-up drawings in a month? You only have enough for two volumes. "Other authors may have one episode a week, and a comic will be serialized for three or four years, but for Du Ziyuan, he draws comics to death, and basically publishes them volume by volume.

This terrifying amount of updates is also one of the important means for him to become fans. This is the same as the starting point. For some novels that are obviously written in general, as long as they keep updating 10,000 to 20,000 words every day, many readers will still follow them.

"No problem." Anyway, the production of "Holy Zero" is coming to an end, and it will be finished in two or three days. Just in time for "Holy Grail War".

Just when Du Ziyuan thought that Pei Mingyang was going to hang up the video, the latter suddenly said, "By the way, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Du Ziyuan was a little curious. Pei Mingyang knew his temperament. If it wasn't for some special things, he wouldn't tell him specifically.

"It's like this," Pei Mingyang said, "Because of you and Blank, the comics industry of Huntianxing has been developing rapidly recently, and all kinds of talented newcomers are emerging one after another, but the market is still in a state of hunger and thirst. We More cartoonists are needed, so my father discussed with me whether to hold an 'imperial exam' in the comics industry in conjunction with the surrounding powers."

"Imperial examination? Oh... draft, right?" Du Ziyuan was stunned for a second before he understood.

"Uh...you can say the same."

This is normal. It has only been a little over a year since comics appeared on Huntianxing, and the market cannot be saturated so quickly. Cartoonists are still a scarce resource, of course, this refers to excellent cartoonists.

The forces of all parties will definitely have conflicts in order to win those cartoonists. Everyone wants good talents. If they are peaceful, everyone will bid together. The highest bidder wins. If they are fierce, they will fight directly. These two, no matter which one is not beneficial to the sect.

So Pei Mingyang and the others thought of the draft, why did they have to look for them one by one? Wouldn't it be nice to let those cartoonists deliver it to your door? When the time comes, they won't be begging others to sign a contract, but they will take the lead. And large-scale auditions are much more efficient than relying on them to inquire one by one.

"However, if you want to draft a talent show, the first point is to be authoritative, and the second point is to be attractive enough," Du Ziyuan analyzed, "So I guess you want me to be a judge?"

It's been said that cartoonists are rare goods to live in now, so why do they have to travel thousands of miles to Tiangangzong to be picked and picked by others? Isn't it good to stay at home and wait for others to come to ask for talents?

Therefore, Pei Mingyang must give them enough motivation to let them walk out of the house willingly.

In today's manga world, Shanfeng and Blank are like gods. If you can see Shanfeng, it will definitely be the dream of many cartoonists. As long as you come to participate in this activity, you can see the mountain breeze, who cares about the few steps? This alone is enough to attract a large number of cartoonists.

Pei Mingyang also prepared extremely rich prizes. Seeing that Shanfeng is only a spiritual reward, material rewards are also indispensable.

Secondly, as Du Ziyuan said, if Shanfeng was the judge, the authority of this event would definitely be unquestionable, and it might become bigger and affect a wider range.

"Smart!" Pei Mingyang said, "I just want you to be a judge. I know you find it troublesome, so when you come, you just need to sit and be a mascot. I will arrange everything else for you."

"What kind of mascot! I don't want it!" Du Ziyuan said, "You go and pick a few people who have better grades in comics to be the reviewers in front of them. I will arrange them to appear in the next few rounds. The contestants You have to go through elimination before you can see me, otherwise God knows how many parallel importers will come to join in the fun."

When Pei Mingyang thought about it, he felt the same way. If you can see the mountain breeze just by participating, what if Du Ziyuan's fans also pretend to be comic books to participate in the competition? Anyway, they don't care about winning or losing, as long as they can see the mountain breeze. This will inevitably lead to an overload of the number of contestants.
