"This is a time long, long ago, a time no one has ever seen or heard of."
"Thousands of miles away from the city, deep in the mountains, there lived a young boy who made nature his friend and lived alone."
"Episode 1, Bulma and Son Goku."
Wang Manlin's attention was instantly attracted by the small child with a long tail!
"His name is Sun Wukong? Is it based on Journey to the West?"
Wang Manlin murmured to herself, "Journey to the West" is the most popular of the four great classics, and Sun Wukong is probably the favorite character of many children in their childhood. That unruly figure never lowered his proud head no matter whether facing the siege of a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, or the threats of many powerful immortals and gods.
But in this comic, Sun Wukong is a small figure, carrying a super huge machete, and looks super cute.
When Wang Manlin saw Sun Wukong calling "Grandpa" to a crystal ball with many five-pointed stars painted on it, her interest was immediately aroused!
"Is this Dragon Ball?"
Wang Manlin watched the whole process with great interest. Whether it was Monkey King luring a tiger off a cliff, or the little Monkey King taking off all his clothes and peeing in the river, or using his tail to fish, Wang Manlin couldn't help but smile.
The appearance of Bulma made Wang Manlin feel like she had seen through everything.
"A very cute girl, this should be the heroine, right?"
"Aside from the fact that Sun Wukong is a monkey, the rest of the story seems to have little to do with Journey to the West. It doesn't seem to be borrowing from the worldview of Journey to the West, which is interesting."
"But why does Bulma look like she's about 20 years old? She's much older than Goku! Is she younger than him?"
"If this is just another romance manga disguised as fantasy, it would be a bit disappointing."
When Wang Manlin saw Goku lifting Bulma's skirt, she smiled a little like an aunt.
“It seems that this author understands his readers.”
Some harmless little plots are very popular with readers.
"Collect all seven dragon balls to summon a dragon?"
"Can the dragon grant any wish?"
"Universal capsule?"
"Interesting! Interesting! This setting is so interesting!"
The light in Wang Manlin's eyes became hotter and hotter, and the more you looked at it, the more interesting it became!
To be honest, although there are some groundbreaking elements in current Chinese comics, a large part of them still fall into clichés, and there are almost only a few similar worldviews. However, this work is completely eye-opening!
Just the setting of Dragon Ball itself is already very attractive!
Moreover, the author's painting style and plot development do not seem like the work of a newcomer at all!
"It has great potential! If there aren't any major issues with its outline and storyline, this comic really has the potential to become a masterpiece!"
Soon, Wang Manlin finished reading the three chapters submitted. She felt that she had not read enough and immediately started to study the outline of the story.
"A masterpiece! It definitely has the potential to be a masterpiece!"
After reading the outline, Wang Manlin felt that all the irritability and depression she had felt in the past few days were completely gone!
Wang Manlin immediately looked up the author's information. She really wanted to talk to the author. She had a hunch that this work might be the most powerful one she had ever received since she became an editor!
——Author: Long Aotian
Wang Manlin: “.”
I don’t know why, but the passion that had just been ignited seemed to be a little extinguished.
What the hell is this non-mainstream, hot-blooded, middle school author?
You bastard Aotian!
So rustic!
When Su Bai received the call from Wang Manlin, he was still drawing the rest of "Dragon Ball" on the digital tablet. With his master-level drawing skills and amazing hand speed and body control, he has now drawn 19 episodes!
If other comic book authors saw this, their eyes would probably pop out of their heads in shock!
"Hello."
"Hello, is this Long Long Aotian?"
Su Bai was about to say, "I'm awesome!"
But just as he was about to say that, he suddenly remembered that his pen name seemed to be Long Aotian!
Then he immediately changed the subject and said, "Are you the editor of Manmankan?"
Wang Manlin's voice over there was a standard mature lady's voice, and she sounded a bit capable.
"Yes, yes! My name is Wang Manlin. I just saw your submission. I think the comic "Dragon Ball" is very interesting and the drawings are very good! It doesn't feel like the work of a newcomer at all. Are you a pseudonym created by some big shot?"
Su Bai chuckled: "No, this is my first time drawing a comic. I had some art skills before, so my drawing skills are pretty good."
"I see! But your plot and setting are also very attractive. Well, I want to talk to you about the contract. Is it free for you now?"
"How about this, I'll tell you my conditions directly, and you go and discuss them. If you agree, I'll publish it on your Manmankan. If not, I'll switch platforms."
Wang Manlin was stunned.
Is this guy really not a big boss's vest?
Isn’t it generally the first reaction of new authors to be ecstatic when hearing about signing a contract?
What's with the tone and response of this overbearing CEO?
Su Bai didn't wait for Wang Manlin's reply, who seemed a little stunned. He continued, "I want 70% of the revenue share. I can guarantee to update at least 4 chapters every day, but you must give me a recommended position on the homepage. Also, the copyright, I mean all the copyright of this comic, must belong to me completely and independently."
Su Bai doesn't really care about income. He has plenty of money anyway, but that doesn't mean he is willing to be a韭菜 (a fool).
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
