Chapter 6
Chapter 6 Dreams and rejections
“So, did you reject our invitation?” Director Ma thought for a moment, tapping the teacup lightly with his finger, and squinting at He Chen.
This is not the first time he has been rejected. There are so many champions in the domestic college entrance examination. There are always times when he is late and is snatched by other prestigious schools.
But this was the time he felt the most regretful, puzzled, and even the most angry!
You said that if you want to go to other prestigious schools, he can understand, he will only sigh that he is a step slower and send his blessings.
However, Mr. Ma was extremely angry when he was rejected by He Chen on the grounds of what kind of kid’s stuff.
How many scholars work diligently and make contributions, but are ultimately blocked by the elites because of their talents, but He Chen spoiled his talents. This is an insult to those unknown scientists who have contributed their lives. !
Yao Ning stopped writing. In He Chen’s body, she suddenly saw who she used to be-that was the youth who was chasing dreams!
Once upon a time, she forgot the original intention of reporting everything fairly and objectively, and began to pursue readers’ attention.
Compared with the stubborn He Chen, she compromised and was smoothed by reality; but He Chen did not compromise, even if he was not accepted by the world, even if he was despised by the world, he was also fighting for his dream!
She suddenly wanted to see He Chen, can he fulfill his dream?
He Xian is angry. If you don’t cherish the opportunity that others can’t ask for, you don’t cherish it or say it, and you still rant about it. He just wanted to teach He Chen, but Chen Ping stopped him.
I saw Chen Ping shook his head slightly. For many years, the couple had already understood each other. He Xian understood what his wife meant: the child has grown up, and he can decide for himself what he wants to do in the future.
He Xian looked at his steadfast-eyed son. From the very beginning of his speech, everything was organized. Obviously this was not his impulse, he had been preparing for a long time.
He Xian sighed, his son’s stubbornness is very similar to his own. Once a decision is made, no one can influence him. He completely let go of his body and leaned deeply on the sofa. He no longer interferes with the decision of the child. As a parent, he does not ask the child to succeed, but asks him to be safe for the rest of his life…
“Do not.”
He Chen shook his head and looked at the manual in his hand. As a comprehensive institution, Yenching College certainly has an art school, and there is an art major in it, and there is a painting class in the course introduction.
Since there is no manga major in this world, choose this one to learn basic drawing strokes.
“I want to enter the art major of the Art College of Yenching University.”
Director Ma was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly, it seemed that this child was really not whimsical, and he hoped to incorporate art into the little book.
But is this possible? Can kids understand? Will adults go to see it?
“no problem!”
Yanjing University Art College still needed to assess professional skills, but Director Ma wanted to see He Chen’s reaction after recognizing dreams and reality, so he made a direct decision.
“If you want to change your major, you can find me at any time! This sentence is valid for two years.”
Director Ma really couldn’t bear to He Chen’s ruin, and he gave a promise.
The weight of this commitment is extremely heavy. Under normal circumstances, it will not be allowed to change after the major is selected. If it is to be changed, it can only be done in the first year, and it needs to have a certain relationship, and it must pass a professional assessment. The procedure is extremely troublesome. .
Therefore, people are cautious when choosing a major.
But Director Ma actually gave He Chen a promise within two years, which means that as long as He Chen gives up his comics within these two years, he can change his profession at any time!
But will He Chen give up?
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid you will never wait for me!” He Chen raised his head and smiled confidently.
Director Ma also laughed: “Then wait and see, I also hope you will never come to me.”
If he is looking for him, He Chen’s dream will be shattered;
If he didn’t find it, then He Chen’s dream may have been successful. Even if he didn’t succeed, it means that He Chen still has not given up on his dreams. Those who chase dreams, even if his dream is not accepted by others, his spirit is worthy of everyone. respect.
He wanted to see where He Chen could go in the future.
After the matter was settled, Director Ma and others said goodbye, and He Chen and his parents sent them to the door.
Although He Chen has a disagreement with Director Ma, it is just a different philosophy. He Chen respects Director Ma who can speak such heartfelt words to him.
Before leaving, Yao Ning said to He Chen: “Your comic story is very exciting.”
She is the only one who has browsed through the content of those short four episodes.
“Thank you!” He Chen smiled, very happy, not because Yao Ning praised him, but because even after crossing the world, the charm of EVA is still recognized.
This is the first reader, and He Chen’s goal is to promote those classics to the world!
“Xiaochen, are you so self-confident? This kind of little book really has such a big charm?” When he returned home, his father He Xian looked at EVA casually, and he was puzzled.
Four Chapters is only the first episode. It has just introduced a few characters of EVA. The depth is far from unfolding, and this is a fantasy story. The target audience is teenagers. It is only natural that parents do not like it.
“No, I am not confident, but believe in the charm of comics!” He Chen specially emphasized that he believes not in himself, but in the charm of the classics that have surpassed the country, surpassed the race, and surpassed the world!
“Brother, villain… Manga is so good?”
He Feifei also looked at page by page. She hadn’t read it carefully before. She calmed down and took a closer look. Suddenly she discovered that these characters whose styles are radically different from those in real TV and movies suddenly produced an inexplicable attraction that attracted her to watch. Go on and show her a real world that is not weaker than TV movies.
“You will know… One day, my brother will let them list the comics in the textbook!” He Chen rubbed his sister’s hair, never being recognized, until it was listed in the textbook, He Chen’s ambition is very big, Lu Hui very long!
He Chen is very fortunate that he has an enlightened father. If it were not for the ultimate acquiescence of his parents, he would not be able to make such a rebellious decision. Therefore, he has to do better, so as to prove how correct his parents’ decision is.
He asked his father about some publishing houses. The publishing houses have self-financed publishing and publishing on behalf of the publishing house. The former has no requirements and can be published as long as the money is paid, but the publishing channel has to be contacted by the author; the latter It is a submission. After the submission is approved, a contract is signed with the publisher, and the publisher publishes and distributes it. The author only needs to write a book to collect money.
His parents do not object to him taking this path. He is very grateful, and he will not use his parents’ money to publish even if he is confident in EVA. So I can only submit articles.
He Chen selected a few publishers in the city that had published little people’s books and sent the EVA. Then I waited confidently for a reply while continuing to draw the content behind the EVA.
As he thought, EVA passing the review is a matter of iron nails. There is no possibility of failing at all. Even if the story content is not mentioned, the EVA style alone has already exploded those villain books several times.
But, only five days later, the first publishing house gave him an unexpected recovery.
Rejected…
It was rejected!
He Chen is angry, did the editor who reviewed the EVA look like a dog? What kind of garbage can pass, and why can’t it pass EVA? !
In his heart, he greeted all the female relatives of the publisher and the editor before he went to see the reason for rejection.
“Hello, Mr. He, because your work “EVA” does not meet the requirements of this publisher, we cannot publish it. You are welcome to continue to contribute. If you need to publish at your own expense, please contact the number XXX-XXXXXXXX to discuss related matters with the editor XX .”
non-compliant?
What is the request!
He Chen is a little crazy, EVA is going to be bloody, some pictures are indeed very bloody, and there are some margins… But none of these are in the first episode!
Moreover, EVA is an overhead world and does not reflect reality. The first episode talks about the resistance of human beings when faced with monster attacks. It is full of positive energy. Why does it not meet the requirements? !
In the past few days, the publishers have returned letters one after another, and without exception, they have all rejected manuscripts.
He Chen thought hard and even temporarily put down the content behind the EVA. He couldn’t figure out why the EVA, which is a milestone in the animation industry, was rejected?
Until I saw the reply from the last publisher…
“Hello, Mr. He, your EVA story is very exciting…”
Well, He Chen nodded while watching. This edit is not bad. At least I read it carefully. Unlike the others, I just glanced at it and threw the EVA aside. Now that this one has finished reading, it should be passed. !
“Character characteristics are distinctive…”
When it comes to image shaping, EVA is absolutely second to none, and even the animation after EVA can find a prototype in EVA.
“Painting techniques have never been seen before…”
Isn’t this nonsense? Although He Chen’s level is very poor, he copied it, and the style of UU reading www.uukanshu.com is still very obvious. Can you compare with professional painters based on the **** you hand-painted?
“But…”
Just after He Chen thought that the overall situation was settled and the publishing house had passed the review, these two words suddenly appeared, and he shook He Chen’s heart.
But? But what? What are the shortcomings of EVA?
He Chen was curious and kept watching.
“This subject matter is not suitable for children, and publication is not recommended.”
The letter paper fluttered from He Chen’s fingers. He Chen’s heart was like 10,000 first-issue machines running wild, and only the sentence “not suitable for children” reverberated in his mind.
He finally understood why EVA was rejected!
Together, their goal is only children! Where does that put our vast number of young people!
This time, He Chen didn’t even have the thought of scolding.
He finally understands the difficulty of his journey. This deep-rooted discrimination against comics is not just lip service, but is rooted in the consciousness of each of them!
First of all, if the target audience is not children, the publisher will not even consider it!
Does he really have to take the road of publishing at his own expense?
However, self-financed publishing is extremely expensive, and even if it is published, how can the sales channels be contacted? Publishers are all aware of this. How can they persuade distributors to agree to let their comics, which are not children at all, be distributed on the shelves?
He Chen is lost…
