Chapter 91 Nobuyuki Fukumoto
"Of course, but if you want to get a serial, you still need your own efforts. The quality cannot be worse than this one! Also, serialization is different from participating in newcomers' awards, and the length cannot be too short."
"I understand. When I go back, I will think carefully and try to write a better comic than this one. Then I will go to the World Club to find Zhao Chenjun!"
Kei Zhenghe was extremely excited. With his current status, regardless of whether the world club was just founded, as long as he could be serialized, the money and status he received were naturally far from comparable to some newcomers awards. Even the Tezuka Award of Shueisha, because only by winning the serialization can he be considered a real cartoonist! At that time, Kei Zhenghe believes that he has enough money to buy his own audio, and at the same time, he can also reduce the burden on his family.
"Well, wait for your good news! If you have any questions about the comics, you can go to Tianxia Club directly, with experienced editors there. If you think it doesn't work, you can also contact me directly!"
Zhao Chen attaches great importance to Gui Zhenghe, not only Gui Zhenghe's future position in the comics industry, but his in a vacuum period in the island country's comics company and lacks too many talents!
"I will!"
After the two said goodbye, Li Yuncong, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly asked, "Master Zhao Chen, is he really good? His painting skills are several levels worse than you!"
Li Yuncong usually reads Zhao Chen's comics, and that was why he took on the guide's job without hesitation.
"You don't understand! Painters can exercise slowly, but the most important thing for a cartoonist is to have his own style. He has found his own path! As long as he continues to work hard in the future, no one can tell his future achievements. Okay, let's go back! Perhaps a cartoonist has already contributed his articles."
Zhao Chen said this, but he knew in his heart that in addition to those comic lovers who did not know the "history" of Tianxia Society, they were all those comic artists. It was undoubtedly difficult to find a comic that could be successfully serialized from it. But as long as there are enough comics to contribute to it, there will always be some suitable ones that can stay, which will drive the normal operation of Tianxia Society.
After Zhao Chen and his wife returned to the World Club, the editors dug up from other comic clubs placed the submissions he received in front of Zhao Chen, and the combined height was as high as an exaggerated half a meter.
"Why are there so many?" Zhao Chen was stunned. According to the proportion, at least dozens of cartoonists or comic lovers have come to contribute in the past few days. This is rare and ordinary for comic companies with some history, but the World Club has just been established for a short time, which is not in line with common sense at all.
One of the editors immediately replied: "President Zhao Chen, in order to complete the tasks you assigned, we have to use our connections to let the cartoonists we were responsible for submitting! In addition, some of them are drawings of those cartoonists and comic lovers, and we dare not make decisions without making any decisions!"
"Oh, you did a good job! By the way, you should have read these drawings. If you think you meet the serialization standards, you will take them out!"
The editor nodded, took a few drafts directly from the top of the drawing, and placed them on the other side.
"We think these five comics can be serialized, but we think there is no potential for these five movies to become a hot topic!"
"That's not bad. At least you can barely publish a comic weekly magazine by finding a few more cartoonists. The comics and publishing houses will be able to operate. Okay, you all go back to work and try to collect more drawings!"
"Yes, President!"
When these editors left the president's office, Zhao Chen picked up the five comics that the editor thought could be serialized and started reading quietly.
"Hey, Shin-kyu Fukumoto, this name feels so familiar! By the way, isn't this the cartoonist who has become famous for gambling comics? I didn't expect to come here to contribute. Shin-kyu Fukumoto is a well-known cartoonist in the future. It seems that he is lucky, and he may have a big fish."
Zhao Chen thought to himself, looking at Fukumoto Shin-kai's comic carefully. This "Please take care of me! The Pure Love General" is a comic with a relatively ordinary plot and highlights, and there are not many highlights, but that's enough to be serialized.
After reading these five comics, Zhao Chen found that the editors' eyes were pretty good, at least these five comics could indeed meet the serial standards.
Then, Zhao Chen, who was looking for the future master, turned his attention to the original manuscripts that were nearly half a meter high.
Most of the original manuscripts of these comics are rough and have no highlights. It is no wonder that the editors did not choose them. Compared with the previous five comics, the quality is undoubtedly one or two levels lower.
Zhao Chen's hand was flipping very quickly, his brows were slightly frowning. For him, these "garbage comics" were simply torture. But for the purpose of washing away the sand, he continued to flip, hoping to find a great god in the future.
"Hey, Hara Takao, isn't this the cartoonist who created "Bei Dou Shenquan"! I didn't expect to come to the World Club to contribute to it!"
The drawing that Hara Takao came to submit was "Modern Life". The drawings of this comic are very thick. Due to Hara Takao's relationship, Zhao Chen finished reading them carefully. After he finished reading them, he found that the comic had been finished.
The comic "Modern Life" is based on a super short story and was created by Tetsuo Hara in high school. The painter is quite rough for Zhao Chen. Since Tetsuo Hara is just a comic lover, the quality of his work can be imagined.
If we look at the future trajectory, Hara Tetsuo has graduated from high school and is working as an assistant under Takahashi Yoshihiro's school to make money and study, he also studied in the comics study class of Ichio Koike.
"Although Haraki's strength is not as good as a cartoonist at this time, it doesn't take long! As long as he becomes a contracted cartoonist of the World Club, he can learn better, and he will definitely be a general of the World Club in the future!"
Zhao Chen soon made a decision in his heart that Yuan Zhefu was a big fish. As long as he successfully made him a contracted cartoonist, it would be very important to the world club in the future. The price he paid was only some manpower and financial resources, and Zhao Chen could still afford it.
It took a few hours to read all the other "garbage comics", but unfortunately, he could never find a big fish like Hara Takao again.
...
The problem of Takao Harashi's problem can be said to be quite smooth, and Takao Harashi himself did not expect to get such benefits by just submitting it casually. Naturally, he agreed to become a contracted cartoonist of the World Society without thinking too much.
The price paid by the World Club is only some training costs and better teaching Hara Takao, which also makes Hara Takao feel more belonging to the World Club.
As for Fukumoto Shin-kun, he encountered a problem. After all, Fukumoto Shin-kun has been an assistant for nearly two years and is more aware of the situation of Tianxia Society. Today, Tianxia Society is just a newly established comic club and has no reputation. Fukumoto Shin-kun will never put his treasure on Tianxia Society. Therefore, he refused to become a contracted cartoonist of Tianxia Society, even if the benefits given to him by Tianxia Society made him a little moved.
Fortunately, although Fukumoto Shinsuke did not become a contracted cartoonist for the World Club, he was willing to hand over his debut work "Please take care of me! The Innocent General" to the World Club for serialization.
However, some problems arise here, mainly because the creation speed of Fukumoto Shin-kun was not fast at this time, which led to the fact that he could not complete the tasks of the weekly magazine with his personal ability. In order to Shin-kun, Zhao Chen had to start recruiting cartoonist assistants, intending to recruit assistants for Shin-kun-kun and himself to reduce the workload.
The assistant has a great effect and can greatly reduce the work of cartoonists. Excellent assistants can even give cartoonists some suggestions and insights.
To gain a foothold in the island country, not only do you need enough comics, but also a large number of excellent assistants. Comic club giants like Shueisha have their own assistant group. These comic club giants can easily find any type and style of assistants and give great help to the comics themselves.
In order to recruit assistants with excellent quality, Zhao Chen directly asked the World Club to hold an assistant competition to select assistants with excellent quality to add to the World Club. You should know that excellent assistants may become real comics, and many comic masters also start with assistants.
If you are lucky enough, you may be able to find a future well-known cartoonist or comic master in this assistant competition. The future of the comic club is just around the corner.
In order to make this assistant competition sensation, Zhao Chen directly set the rewards of the top three at 1 million yen, 500,000 yen and 300,000 yen. If the assistant who won the ranking wants to submit his own comics, even if the quality is slightly worse, Zhao Chen will agree to serialize it, and then make a decision based on the serial results.
In order to successfully hold the comic assistant competition and attract enough assistants to participate, Zhao Chen once again used the money offensive to publish this news in several Tokyo newspapers to attract a large number of assistants or comic lovers and use it to gain the reputation of the comic club.
The advertisement will last for a few days, and even so, it will cost Zhao Chen millions of yen, but the effect is undoubtedly not bad. At least the assistant competition will soon become well-known in the comics industry, and many assistants are eager to try it. After all, the rewards of the top three are a considerable fee for them. And they can also gain their fame. Fit competition with a large number of competitors may also improve their own level. Why not do it?
It is precisely because of this that the comic assistant competition is becoming more and more well-known. After all, the island country is the world's largest comic market, with a large number of comic fans, and thus a large number of comic lovers have been born. This directly led to the effect of this comic assistant competition being better than Zhao Chen imagined, and initially gained the reputation of the comic club. This is a typical case of spending money to buy reputation.
The Assistant Competition was held as scheduled and was held on Sundays. This time is basically holidays, allowing more people to participate.
As for the venue, it was the famous Red Brick Plaza in Chiyoda District. Zhao Chen only rented a small part of the Red Brick Plaza for a day, but it cost millions of yen alone.
Although the price is very expensive, it brings a comfortable environment and a wide area. After all, the office locations rented by Tianxia Society cannot accommodate so many participants, and it is even more impossible to accommodate more comic lovers to watch.
