Rebirth of the God of Comics

Chapter 3: Hit the wall again and again

   "Your drawing has not yet reached our submission requirements, so it will not be submitted. However, thank you for your support to our Lotte Magazine. You are welcome to continue submitting it next time."

   Chen Ze couldn’t believe his eyes when he looked at Lotte’s reply? Nani, my eyes are broken! The manga "Slam Dunk" that swept the entire Asian basketball frenzy in the past, with only 31 volumes but with sales of more than one billion, was rated as the most worthy of being left to future generations. Can't even pass the draft here?

  Chen Ze thought for a while, it must be because the editors of Lotte Club have too strange taste, otherwise, how could he make himself unable to pass the manuscript. Fortunately, the cake of China Animation Industry is big enough. In addition to Lotte News, several magazines are also very strong. Thinking about this, he submitted the drawings to the major magazines.

   It's a pity that the editors of those magazines and Lotte had the same attitude. They saw that Chen Ze's subject matter was sports basketball, so they rejected Chen Ze directly. He has been busy for more than half a month, but what he got is a rejection letter.

   Nima, you play mine, God!

Looking at the full table of rejection letters, Chen Ze really wanted to ask God, Nima brought me into this world and gave me such a big advantage. As a result, people in this world did not accept their original world. Anime.

   It's no wonder that Chen Ze has lost his attitude. Whoever thinks he has the ability to change the world, but the world does not accept you at all, everyone will lose his attitude.

  DiDiDi!

   At this moment, Chen Ze's TT rang again. He took it out to see that it was sent by the Heart of Time. A few days ago, Chen Ze told him about his contribution, and he came to ask about the situation.

   "How about it, is it finished?"

"No, return it to me." Chen Ze replied gloomily, obviously "Slam Dunk" has made a huge splash in the past life, and even after more than ten years, there are still people who are enthusiastic about discussing it on the professional basketball forum website. With the plot inside, how could it be impossible to even pass the draft?

   What Chen Ze didn't know was that this kind of predicament was not only for him, even the Great God Inoue Takehiko had encountered at that time. He won the Tezuka Award at the age of 21 and became a newcomer that attracted worldwide attention. But that's it. When he proposed the serialization of "Slam Dunk", he was still questioned by the editor and almost cut it.

   And Chen Ze does not have the reputation of Inoue Takehiko now. The basketball of China in this world is even smaller than the previous island country, so it is naturally impossible for the editor to value the draft.

   "It's okay, the manuscript without you can only show that the editors' insights are not enough." Perhaps feeling the loss in Chen Ze's heart, the Heart of Time comforted him, "Or, would you give me a try?"

   "Which magazine are you in?"

"Yes, the new animation magazine. Now they have just been established, and the requirements for submission are not as high as those of other large magazines. And although their reputation and channels are not as good as Lotte, the compensation is still pretty good, even for newcomers. Can get a better price." The Heart of Time explained to Chen Ze.

   Chen Ze thought for a while, now there is no other good way. All the big comic companies in the world rejected him. If he didn't join this small magazine, he would have to give up drawing comics.

   But the question is what else can he do besides comics. In his previous life, he came to this world as a street cartoonist, and his only advantage was those comics that he had thoroughly studied. If the comics are not good, you can't copy the novels. Who remembers how many millions of words there are.

   "Well, then you send me the address of the new animation magazine you are in, and I'll post it later." Chen Ze asked for the address of the heart of time, and then posted his own comic.

  ······

"How do you guys review the manuscript? How come this kind of comics are passed, and do you still have a professional vision." In an office in a large building, a woman in her twenties faced the person in front of her. Four or five men shouted loudly.

   Although this woman is quite beautiful, especially her figure, she is extremely hot. But the group of men in front of her were all conscientious, and none of them dared to raise their heads to admire the figure of this woman. Obviously, this woman is usually extremely majestic.

"I have emphasized to you a long time ago that the purpose of our magazine is friendship, hard work, and passion. All our drawings must be drawn around these three points. But you can see what the manuscripts you have passed, either selling meat or selling meat. When selling rot, do you always listen to me?"

   The beautiful woman said as she raised her hand and rubbed her temples, she was obviously tired. It's no wonder that her name is Lin Lan, and she is the owner and editor-in-chief of this new animation magazine. She is actually the daughter of the owner of a major real estate developer in China, but she is unwilling to follow the path her dad arranged for her—to enter his company and find a right person to marry.

   So he made a bet with her dad and gave her three years to start a business. If it succeeds, her dad won't force her again. If you fail, go back and marry honestly. And her choice of starting a business is her favorite comic industry.

"But the editor-in-chief, we are all considering the interests of the company. What is popular in the market now is to sell meat and sell rotten products, and readers will eat this one. Survive." An editor explained.

   "If I say no, it means no. All our comics must follow the three principles I have determined." Lin Lan said firmly.

   She grew up watching comics since she was a child. Many classic comics are basically drawn around dreams and passion, which is like now that she doesn’t need a bit of discipline for the market. She believes that a comic that can be called a classic and a great one must have three very correct views and resonate with people. Therefore, the three principles were set at the beginning of the magazine.

   "Well, then, editor in chief." Listening to Lin Lan's firm words, the editors nodded helplessly, but I am afraid that they are all laughing at Lin Lan for not understanding the market, and they will definitely suffer a big loss.

   "Well, then you will review all the manuscripts again, this time you must follow what I said." Seeing their compromise, Lin Lan nodded and prepared to go back to his office. But just as she turned around, a drawing on the table attracted her peripheral attention.

   There are only two men on the drawing. They are wearing red No. 10 and No. 11 jerseys, leaping high and grabbing rebounds. One had bright red hair, and the other had a cold face.

   Such a simple painting attracted her attention. Lin Lan walked over, picked up the stack of drawings and looked at it carefully.

   "Editor-in-chief, this is a rejected manuscript. Although the pictures, characters, and shots are good, but the subject matter is too small and has no commercial value." Seeing Lin Lan picked up the manuscript, an editor beside her said. Obviously this was the drawing he reviewed just now, and it has already been eliminated.

   Lin Lan didn't respond to what the man said, but began to look at it carefully. When he saw the protagonist face off with the basketball captain inside, he couldn't help but laugh when he accidentally tore off his pants. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   Soon she read the stack of drawings, and after closing the drawings, she whispered: "Sakuragi, Rukawa Kaede, Akharu, Akagi! This "Slam Dunk" has a little meaning."

   Based on a woman's instinct, she felt the value of this drawing. The characters and storyboards are very good, and the story looks very interesting. As for the subject matter is too small, she has a different view from others.

  As a rich second-generation, she had the opportunity to go to the United States since she was a child. After being entertained by her friends from the United States to watch basketball, she became completely obsessed with the sport. Is the basketball niche? Maybe it is right now, but Lin Lan is well aware of the charm of basketball. Once it is publicized, countless men will probably be completely fascinated by the sport.

   And as far as she knows, now the NBA has set its sights on the China market. Maybe there will be a basketball hurricane hitting China soon, so Lin Lan is not worried about this issue at all.

   What Lin Lan didn't know at this time was that it didn't take long for China and even the whole of Asia to blow an unprecedented basketball hurricane, but it was not caused by the NBA, but the thin drawing in her hands.

   "Contact the artist immediately and tell him that we have passed his manuscript." Lin Lan made a decision that surprised all the editors present.
