Chapter 3

In the weeks that followed, however, the flash was like a flash in the pan and never came back.

If it wasn't for the picture, Meng Huo would have thought he had a daydream. He was worried about how to get back that feeling and didn't even continue to draw cartoons.

He decided to contribute the first words first. Two days before the entrance examination, Meng Huo found the information of comic contribution in the bookstore, and two companies came into his vision.

One is Longteng company, a comprehensive publishing company, which mainly publishes literary works and novels. Its cartoon industry is also a giant in the industry, monopolizing almost all famous cartoonists. The second is phoenix company, which focuses on cartoon publishing. The company's scale and market are not as good as Longteng, but it pays the most for new cartoonists.

Meng Huo submitted the original manuscript to Phoenix company. He felt that Longteng company, which monopolized excellent novel resources, might not look up to him, and the contribution fee was also crucial.

The editorial department of Phoenix company is located in Ninghai City, the second largest city in China. It is still some time before the comics are delivered and the results are published. Meng Huo puts his mind on the entrance examination in Jiangnan province.

The whole exam lasts for three days. He never forgets it. He believes he can get full marks in most subjects. However, Meng does not want to exaggerate. He deliberately left mistakes in each paper, and none of them got full marks.

Language is arranged on the last day, which is the most important subject in China.

Meng Huo estimated the score of the previous exam. He thought that the score was still too high. He could push it down as long as he could enter most high schools.

However, something unexpected happened. Not long after the test bell rang, a flash of inspiration appeared again.

At that time, Meng Huo was writing his own name. He only felt that with a flash in his eyes, the context of the whole test paper became as clear as a slow motion show, and he even knew how to solve the problem.

Meng Huo in this state is very excited. He can't help but start to write quickly.

"Shua Shua!" The sound of writing quickly attracted the attention of a invigilator behind him. He frowned and went to check, which almost didn't drop his chin.

Meng Huo's hand moved from the test paper like a harvester. He hardly needed to think, and all the blank areas were quickly filled with words. The invigilator himself is a Chinese teacher. He thinks Meng Huo's answer is surprisingly accurate, so accurate that he feels like cheating.

He quietly took out the electronic instrument scanning, no response, not cheating.

"It's not cheating?"

The invigilator was full of amazement. When he looked at it again, he found that Meng Huo had turned the test paper upside down, and his speed still did not stop.

What kind of monster is this—— He was stunned.

Then when Meng Huo woke up from the flash of inspiration, the pen just drew the last full stop on his composition.

The remaining two invigilators didn't know when to come up. They looked down at the test paper, their eyes were very dull.

"Ten... Ten minutes!"

A teacher looked at the clock on the wall, pushed his glasses and stammered, "are you finished?"

It's a miracle! The three invigilators had never seen a student do the paper so quickly, and there was no sign of cheating, just like reciting the answers.

Meng Huo nodded calmly: "well, I want to hand in the paper."

He stood up to pick up his stationery, and the other students in the examination room looked in shock.

Silence.

It was not until Meng Huo left the teaching building that a invigilator thought of the most critical problem. He ran out and yelled, "Hey, wait, it's not time to hand in the papers!"

But Meng Huo did not look back, the world's high school entrance examination will not be given a zero because of early submission. The total score of Jiangnan province is 750 points. Meng Huo thinks he should have more than 650 points, which is enough.

A few days after the high school entrance examination.

6 June 18, Phoenix building, Ninghai city.

Ye Xiong, editor in chief of the editorial group of weekly youth, just went to work, looked at the report with a gloomy face. Magazine sales have declined. Weekly youth comics is their most popular magazine, but the sales are still far behind Longteng.

"Did you get the strategic positioning wrong?"

In recent years, ye Xiong had this idea for countless times, but he immediately shook his head and denied: "no, it must be right to take the road of originality!"

Phoenix company focuses on original comics, while Longteng company prefers novels. The capital and scale of Phoenix company can't be compared with Longteng company, so ye Xiong thinks originality is their only way out.However, over the years, why is the company's performance still tepid?

"Cartoonists, the result is still a lack of talented cartoonists."

Ye Xiong can't help sighing that the short rise time of comics leads to the uneven quality of cartoonists. This problem can only be solved by time.

However, he is not reconciled to the fact that the development of the cartoon industry is changing with each passing day. Now many children are working hard here. It can be predicted that the original cartoon will become the mainstream in five or six years. He can't be editor in chief for a long time if he can't make achievements. The result of his hard work is to build a bridge for future generations.

Why can't a comic genius come out ahead of time?

Just like hearing Ye Xiong's voice, an editor suddenly stood up and spilled all the manuscript in the carton beside him.

"Ha ha, Professor Yang, do you see cockroaches again?"

The whole editorial department roared with laughter. The editors knew that the young editor named Sun Yang had the same courage as a woman. He could not help screaming when he saw a mouse.

"No, no, I did the cleaning!" Sun Yang red face, some excited raised his hand manuscript: "everyone look, I found a genius!"

"Genius?"

"Isn't that a new person's contribution? How can a new person have a genius?"

Other editors didn't believe it, and ye Xiong, chief editor, didn't believe it, but he said, "let me have a look."

Phoenix company attaches great importance to the cultivation of new cartoonists, but the current situation is that hundreds of people volunteer every month, few of them can enter the editor's eyes. In the long run, even editor in chief Ye Xiong no longer holds any hope.

He took the manuscript from Sun Yang and frowned at the first glance.

Detective Conan

The title almost made Ye Xiong throw it away. Nowadays, the popular juvenile comics focus on fighting, and the detective theme is greatly limited.

However, he still frowned and looked down. At this time, the development of the plot behind was beyond imagination. This cartoon started with the first young detective in China as the howling head. The process of the hero solving the case was very crisp, and finally led to an amazing dark curtain!

Ye Xiong was attracted by the content of a single word. The original author's mastery of the readers' psychology can be described as the pinnacle of perfection, and his painting skills are superb, which can not be formed without more than ten years of practice.

The most shocking picture is the last one. It's amazing! Ye Xiong believes that it will not be unexpected to put it on display in the gallery, but it is just an ordinary original cartoon!?

Ye Xiong was stunned. After half pay, he stood up and supported the table with both hands: "genius..."

He trembled, as if he had found a breakthrough in his dream for a long time, which made Ye Xiong excited: "if you want to buy it, you must buy its copyright!"

If such an excellent cartoon is obtained by other companies, ye Xiong will regret it all his life!

"Sun Yang!" He raised his head and scolded his subordinates in front of him: "Why are you still in a daze? Give me the author's phone quickly!"
