Is this cartoonist mentally ill?!

Chapter 32 Competition

And Zhou Wenwei is not the only one who thinks so. As mentioned earlier, the popularity of "edgerunner" gradually increased.

After all," edgerunner "is serialized in" Comic World", a well-known comic book in the industry. There are only seventeen comic works that can be serialized in this magazine.

These seventeen comics were also selected from hundreds of submitted works.

So it naturally attracts the attention of comic book fans.

But one of the comic book fans has now come directly to the instigator.

"Speaking of which, Qianli, isn't it the end of the semester for you recently?"

Lin Qingshan blinked and said, "Don't you need to prepare for exams or write a term paper or something?"

We are at the end of May and June is about to enter.

This period is the time when college students are about to take exams and take vacations.

Gu Qianli was stunned for a moment, but reacted quickly and said angrily, "you don't need to change the subject like that."

Lin Qingshan was a little embarrassed and laughed twice.

Then he relented and let Gu Qianli enter first.

"Pochita~"

Gu Qianli went to interact with Pochita immediately, then held Pochita in his arms and sat down on the living room sofa.

"Why did you come to me suddenly?"

Lin Qingshan kept asking.

Gu Qianli smiled and replied,"Don't worry, I won't be angry because you killed one of your comic book characters."

"Isn't it normal for comics to write some characters to death?"

She is very calm, after all she is an old two-dimensional person.

Others may not know that Gu Qianli, a rich Miss, who seems to be a winner in life, is actually a two-dimensional old person.

As comics have developed to this day, there are quite a few comics in which the heroine dies.

What's more, only one supporting character died.

Not to mention in comics, in novels, movies, TV and other human works of art, there are countless plots in which characters die.

only...

Lin Qingshan's plot to arrange the death of a supporting character without any foreshadowing is indeed a bit unexpected.

However, Gu Qianli had already seen the original plot of Maine and Dorio's exit from Big Brother and sister-in-law, so she was not only saddened by Pilar.

"On the contrary, I really like your work, Qingshan. "edgerunner" is a really good story..."

Gu Qianli said.

"But I still hope Lucy and David can survive."

She looked at Lin Qingshan expectantly and said.

David is so unhappy... If Lucy dies too, what will be the meaning of David's life?

Especially in Lin Qingshan's recent "edgerunner" series, he drew a lot of plots between David and Lucy.

Manga fans, including Gu Qianli, fell in love with this couple.

Therefore, Gu Qianli still hopes that Lucy the heroine can survive.

Lin Qingshan suddenly rolled his eyes, patted his chest, and said, "Don't worry, Lucy will live to the end!"

"That's good..."

Gu Qianli smiled slightly and said.

"By the way, we are planning to have a party next weekend. You can come with us."

However, at this moment, Gu Qianli suddenly said.

"ah?"

Lin Qingshan blinked.

…

"Professor Yang," Psychic Warlock " ranked 12th in this week's reader popularity poll. Congratulations."

"Twelfth place? Yang Shuzhun was a little dissatisfied when he heard the voice on the phone.

Because his popularity has really dropped this time... by one person.

He is one of the competitors of the Newcomer Grand Prix of the magazine "Comic World", and his pseudonym is Itchy Mouse.

Since the release of" Psychic Warlock " and its serialization in comic books, his popularity has only ranked 11th at best, and he has never been in the top ten.

Even once.

If that's all, forget it.

His popularity is in 11th place, and he should be ranked first among the works of debutants in this Newcomer Grand Prix.

However, there is a newcomer like him who has overtaken him in popularity polls in recent weeks and even entered the top ten several times.

"Zhexuan, tell me, Where is the popularity of "edgerunner" this week?"

Yang Shuzhun asked with some reluctance.

He always watched " edgerunner." Your exquisite painting skill and crazy background settings are so advanced that even your competitor can't help but get deeply immersed in it.

Is this really a work that a newcomer can draw?

Yang Shuzhun recalled his work "Psychic Warlock" and suddenly felt ashamed.

"Psychic Warlock" is the first time he has chosen to create his own work. Having worked as an assistant cartoonist for eight years, he is confident that his experience is enough.

And this time, he will rely on his experience to officially debut in the comic book industry and win the title of Rookie King to become famous!

Therefore, its setting system "Psychic Warlock "is also step-by-step, and the plot direction has always adhered to the so-called"royal" style. Simply put, there is nothing new.

It's just an ordinary painting that imitates the works of predecessors and adds some personal items of my own...

It is completely incomparable with such a wild and refreshing work as "edgerunner".

However, in the final episode of" edgerunner, " Pilar's exit gave her some hope.

And if... did readers choose not to vote for "edgerunner" because of Pilar's sudden and mysterious death?

However, the editor's apologetic voice came on the phone: "Sorry, this time "edgerunner" is in seventh place in popularity ..."

Yang Shuzhun's heart sank instantly, " it's okay... I know that..."

"However, Professor Yang, we still have a chance. Voting for the Grand Prix will begin in three months."

The editor's words made Yang Shuzhun smile bitterly.

With the current situation, does he really have a chance?

but...

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Yang Shuzhun took a deep breath and said on the phone, " then please clarify Zhexuan. Please pay more attention to the plot issues in the future."

"All right! I will work hard too!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Shuzhun's eyes became piercing.

He was a comics assistant for eight years before producing his first work.

Now that he is thirty years old, there are still many opportunities for fame left in his life, and this time he will certainly succeed!

After all... the winner of the Newcomer Grand Prix this time will have priority to serialize the next feature film with the comic book publisher, and their work will also have the opportunity to be animated.

As for the one million bonus, it's nothing.

So no matter what happens, he must give it his all!
