Chapter 16: Post-release waves

It has been three days since the release of Ximeng Magazine, and Chen Zijun has not received any evaluation of the work. The online discussion is all about super famous masterpieces. It is naturally impossible for a short story in such a small magazine to cause any big splash. .

However, the editorial department of Ximeng Magazine is indeed delighted by many people. The popularity of each issue of Ximeng Magazine is getting lower and lower, and it is in a state of sluggishness, and the sales volume of this issue has increased significantly. Many, after testing, are indeed brought by this issue of Ximeng, and many loyal readers have given high praise to the short stories of this event.

Among them, "Dark Heart" reflects the darkness of society, and many people find it interesting, so the gold award is acceptable, but some people do not agree with the silver award. Not worthy of the silver award, but many people gave "She and Her Cat" a high evaluation.

"Among all the three works, my favorite is "Dark Heart", but the most profound is "She and Her Cat", prose-like narrative, the plot is not too big, not too big The turning point of the story just tells a small and fresh story, warm but sad, but the main story is quite natural, and the emotional description is extremely delicate, although the painters are not good in many places, the mirror, some shadows There are mistakes in the usage and the details of the painting, but the comics and painting skills are not absolute, the plot is the key to moving people's hearts, this is a newcomer award, so this is a very normal thing, I like this work very much, it is true It made me feel healed and moved during this time.”

"Whether "Love and the Like" is really a new author, it can be seen from the style of painting. This work is a trumpet of Qiu Shikai, who serialized "Blood War Boy" before by Ximeng Magazine. I checked, some details The place is exactly the same."

"I was stripped of the vest when I opened the trumpet, haha."

......

Zhong Wenshan felt very frustrated. He was indeed the teacher of "Love and the Like", and this work was indeed drawn by himself. He used to be the author of a long comic serialized by Ximeng Magazine. That was in the past, and now, he was forced to be cut in half because of his poor grades. Recently, the manuscript he handed in was called back. At this time, due to the lack of living funds, he happened to see the Ximeng Award in progress. It was held, and the interest has increased greatly, so I plan to participate.

Although it is a newcomer award, as long as you change your name and coordinate with your own editor, 80% of them can participate.

In fact, he did not expect any mistakes. He did publish it smoothly through editing, but the results were somewhat unexpected. The masterpiece of his confidence did not win the first place as scheduled, but got an ordinary one. Silver Award, Silver Award is also Silver Award, which is not unacceptable. After the release, the reputation of the work that won the Bronze Award is far better than his second place, but the vest has been ripped off, he can't Not so depressed.

Are the newcomers already so strong? He had to feel that he was old... a ghost! How can the comics drawn by a group of stinky brats compare to me? I'm furious.

He had seen "She and Her Cat", but he really didn't feel how good it was. It was too loose. He didn't like the storyline, but Zhong Wenshan was very angry and couldn't help it.

......

Chen Zijun still works in a convenience store and occasionally acts as a cashier, but he sometimes focuses his energy on Ximeng magazines. In the past two days, some people have bought significantly more. In the past, they sold one or two copies this time. It was sold out. Of course, the boss, Lin Lekang, bought very little, which is also a big reason.

"Hey, get me a Western Union magazine." Today, a girl walked in.

Chen Zijun said politely, "I'm very sorry, the magazine has already sold out."

"Ah, isn't it here anymore?"

-

The girl's voice was a little regretful.

"I'm very sorry, but it's really all sold out." Chen Zijun could only repeat it again.

"All right."

The girl then left.

"Who is it, Zijun." Lin Ziyu just came back from her work.

"I asked the people from Ximeng Magazine, but they were all sold out."

"Recently, the sales of this magazine have increased a lot. It seems that Manager Lin can be asked to buy more in the next issue."

"Who knows?" Chen Zijun shrugged, indicating that it doesn't matter.

"Zijun, have you finished moving the goods?" Lin Ziyu asked.

"It's all done."

Chen Zijun is very efficient, so he benefits from this, he has a spare time to rest.

He can use this time to practice painting.

"Zijun, you really like painting. You spend all your rest time on painting."

"Well, I'm interested."

Chen Zijun knows what he is capable of, and his drawing skills are too weak. Although comics do not require a high level of ambition, good drawing skills must be of great benefit to him.

"By the way, you are still in school, right? Is it really okay to work like this every day?"

Chen Zijun's expression was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he was a little unsure.

"Probably." At least, Chen Zijun has not received an order to drop out of school, or Wu Chenghe has no plans to control his own thoughts.

During this period, apart from painting and part-time work, Chen Zijun also studied at UU www.uukanshu.com. Com is not doing nothing, he will also study, learn the knowledge of junior high school, but also to prepare for the upcoming high school entrance examination, as long as he passes the test, even if it is the worst high school, he will choose to go.

Although he decided to draw comics for a living, the main reason is that the system acts as a temptation to support Chen Zijun. He has no idea of ​​changing the whole world, nor does he have the kind of spirit that loves comics to the core. Perhaps, it will change in the future. Education is still a must.

Although what he said now is not convincing at all.

"Zijun, please go to the cooked food area and be in charge of the Oden part."

"OK."

Chen Zijun was a little helpless, put down the brush, and came to the Oden area. Oden was a kind of food in Japan in the previous life, but in this world, the two countries have merged, so this is naturally widely spread, and it is basically necessary in convenience stores. thing.

However, the fusion seems to be somewhat inconsistent.

He skillfully placed pork patties, chicken skewers, and the best-selling radish, also called daikon, in the spare area above. After being boiled in broth, it was soaked in and very delicious, although many people complained about the bad taste of Oden in convenience stores. , is not as good as the authentic taste, but after all, it is from a convenience store. For the convenience of the service, it is necessary to eat the authentic one, how can it be repaired.

At this time, several high school students just walked in. According to their current age, they are older than themselves.

"Bring me a chicken skewer and a big root."

"I want big roots too."

"I want some more soup, thank you."

Chen Zijun helped them fill them one by one, and when he was busy at night, after he finished moving the goods, he marked the lunch box with a half-price discount, which completely ended his daily life of working part-time.
