Chapter 19: 1st meeting with the editor

On Sunday, the weather was normal, but it was a change from the hot weather in the past, and it was quite comfortable to blow.

Today, Chen Zijun took a break from work. In the morning, he cooked a large pot of tomato noodles for himself, put soy sauce on it, and it tasted pretty good.

Today, he wore a pair of black half sleeves with black sweatpants underneath. He was all black. Although they were not expensive clothes, they were also very handsome.

"Meow! Put the food away for me." Ju Xue lay lazily on the floor, meowing, but Chen Zijun's voice was instinctively translated into language.

"It's ready, the ugly words are in front. If you go to the ground to urinate, I will starve you." Since Chen Zijun has this skill, it is not without benefits. At least, after communicating with Ju Xue, let him No need to urinate casually.

"Meow, I get it, hurry up and leave." Ju Xue said proudly, but suddenly, there was a pool of water on the ground.

Chen Zijun's head was covered with black lines, and he picked up the prepared cat food.

"You can starve me."

"No, meow."

It took him a while to fulfill his duty as a **** shovel officer before he set off completely.

Chen Zijun locked the door, came to the station, and waited for the tram.

After a while, the tram came over. Probably because Sundays were all holidays, there were not many people on the crowded tram, so it was easy to find empty seats.

Clang clang clang!

The tram starts slowly, and seeing the scenery outside from the tram is also a unique atmosphere.

Many people on the tram are not holding mobile phones, but most of them are reading comic magazines. Occasionally, Chen Zijun can still hear some people's comments. The tram is also covered with many advertisements. The most famous natural It's one of the eight kings who's new volume is on sale or something.

Chen Zijun had to sigh with emotion, the title of the eight kings and four emperors is indeed very attractive, and it is also a status title that all cartoonists in the world dream of.

I don't know when I will achieve this achievement.

Soon, Chen Zijun arrived at his destination. After getting off the bus, he came to a cafe, which is located in the central area of ​​Chiba County. Although it was broad day, there were still many people coming, and it was very quiet inside. Mixed with the rich aroma of coffee beans, it is refreshing.

Chen Zijun found a seat by the window and waited patiently. While waiting, Chen Zijun ordered something.

About twenty minutes later, he received the message.

"Mr. April Breeze, where are you? I'm at the door of the coffee shop."

Chen Zijun replied: "Just come in, I'm in the second position by the window, just come in."

Gong Shaoyuan was outside the door at this time, and when he saw the information, he walked in and looked curiously at the second position by the window, because he was really curious about what kind of person April Breeze was.

It is an ordinary-looking middle-aged boy, or a very young and talented young man, but

After seeing Chen Zijun's body, the imagination in his heart was completely shattered. What moved him was that this bright face appeared to be a freshman in high school, and the one who was still in school was... Teacher April Breeze?

Did I read it wrong? Gong Shaoyuan looked at it again. Yes, it was near the window. That's right, it was indeed the second location near the window.

After hesitating for a while, Gong Shaoyuan walked over and asked, "Excuse me, are you Teacher April Breeze?"

Chen Zijun saw him as soon as he entered the door. Seeing him asking himself, he said, "Hello, editor Gong Shaoyuan, I am April Breeze. My real name is Chen Zijun. You can call me by my name."

"I... I'm really surprised. I didn't expect the teacher to be so young. It's really unexpected."

Gong Shaoyuan sat down and said in shock. At this time, he remembered that the painting skills of "She and Her Cat" are indeed not very good. It turns out that he is so young, but he is so young and has a high talent for comic creation.

At this time, the waiter also brought two cups of coffee. However, Chen Zijun's cup was rejected by him.

"Don't you drink, teacher?"

"I... I'll let it go."

"I'll invite the teacher to have a drink."

"No."

"Alright then." Gong Shaoyuan didn't force it.

"April Breeze, uh, I'll just call you Teacher April, are you still a student?"

Chen Zijun nodded: "Yes."

"So, you can draw cartoons while you are a student. Are you really a real genius?"

"Thank you for the compliment."

The two didn't talk about the topic at the beginning, but simply got to know each other. Although he was shocked by Chen Zijun's age, Gong Shaoyuan thought carefully about the talented cartoonists in the market today, who were serialized at the age of fourteen. At the level of the novel, Chen Zijun's age is not so shocking.

"Editor Gong Shaoyuan, let's get down to business. It's like this. I want to create a short comic to be serialized in Ximeng Magazine. The plot is about five or six episodes. It's a short comic."

"In addition to the long stories, Ximeng Magazine also sometimes serializes some short comic expansions, such as the Ximeng Award that my teacher won last time. As long as the quality is good and it passes the serialization meeting, there is no problem."

"That's it."

"Do you have any thoughts on the short manga April teacher? You can talk to me, and I may give you some advice."

Hearing this, Chen Zijun took out the storyboard that he drew all night last night and handed it to Gong Shaoyuan.

"This is a storyboard I drew. You might as well take a look at it as editor Gong Shaoyuan."

Gong Shaoyuan took it, and the first glance was a slightly sloppy drawing, which made him feel relieved. Although it was a little sloppy, it was very practical as a storyboard. In addition to being the backbone of a work, the editor must at least ensure that the editor can understand it. Gong Shaoyuan has heard some seniors say before that some of the storyboards that are given to the editor are simply children's graffiti. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com can't understand at all.

At least, this part of the mirror was drawn in great detail, and it was completely passed.

Throwing these feelings out, he put his mind back on the storyboard in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"The Self-Knowing Man"

This is the title, Gong Shaoyuan was a little strange, and quickly looked at it.

The story does not introduce the name of the protagonist, but only replaces it with 'I'. After seeing that he has the ability to see numbers, Gong Shaoyuan's sense of substitution comes. This ability is indeed very interesting, at least at this stage, this ability is indeed A very whimsical idea.

The story begins to develop, from the number, that is, his own life, and after five years of life lost due to high grades in high school, the indifference on Gong Shaoyuan's face disappeared, and it was replaced by a really serious look.

After the bus incident, especially the astonishing reversal at the end, it made him feel like he was hit hard, and he was very shocked.

As a short story, the events that I have experienced are very rare, but because it is short, it is also extremely small and short, at least, Gong Shaoyuan felt that this story...

sharp!

Amazing creativity, just the idea of ​​seeing the lifespan numbers extends such a wonderful story, it's really amazing.

"Mr. April, I feel that this story is really good. Due to my own inexperience, I can't give you any other opinions, but if a finished manga is produced, there is definitely a great hope that it can be serialized."

"Thank you, I'm really very happy with your compliment."

Gong Shaoyuan hesitated and said, "Mr. April, I feel that this idea is very good, and there is hope for a long-length serialization. I don't know if you have no idea and expand it into a long-form novel."
