Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

Cuaron, of course, hasn't left yet.

However, the artwork he submitted to the editor two days ago was ruthlessly rejected again.

"Cuarón, how many times have I told you, what we want is a work similar to the style of a superhero series, we want heroes, we want fresh stories, we want battles, we want blood, we want victory, we want fans to worship heroes, Rather than those beautiful environmental drawings you drew.”

Indeed, Cuaron's artwork is very beautifully drawn, especially after coloring, it is a completely new fantasy world.

Unfortunately, editors are not optimistic about these things.

No matter how excellent the world view setting and environmental description are, if there is no engaging story, it will still not be liked by readers.

Nowadays, most readers are more looking forward to seeing superhero series such as Iron Man and Spider-Man, rather than a strange fantasy planet, a group of strange animals and plants, and some strange-looking blue-skinned animals. Humanity.

Therefore, Cuaron’s works were ultimately not recognized by the editor.

Cuaron is the foreign painter Chen Feng met in the rain forest before.

He is indeed a comics author, and he previously published his own comics at the same comic company that once published Iron Man.

He even became famous among comic book fans for a time, and he lived a relatively prosperous life through this.

It's a pity that in recent years, he has begun to carefully polish his new works, but his manuscripts have been rejected by publishers' editors one after another.

The reason is simple. In recent years, almost all of the best-selling comics are superhero series. The most famous superheroes have become money-grabbing tools, earning countless amounts of money.

Even some other less famous comics can make a small fortune as long as they apply the style and model of the superhero series.

Nowadays, the market is full of copycat works created after superhero series.

Works such as Iron Man, Batman, Spider-Man, The Flash, etc. have become well-known series and have no worries about sales.

And there are more productions that follow the trend and do everything possible.

Some people even followed suit and created Fly Man, Mouse Man,

Toilet Man...

Such a work, as long as the idea is novel, the story is exciting, and the style of the work is close to that of the superhero series, it can sell well and make a lot of money.

This is the current trend in comic publishing.

Unfortunately, Caron didn't like this approach.

Relatively speaking, he prefers to create a fantasy world independently, carefully construct the structure of the worldview, constantly enrich and improve the details of his fantasy world, and then create wonderful storylines in his own fantasy world.

This is the direction he pursues.

For example, this fantasy world he is creating now.

This world is located on another planet. On this planet, there lives a group of humans like blue elves. They live in harmony with nature. They have various strange plants and strange animals. These blue elves-like humans have their own unique characteristics. The lifestyle and philosophy are all full of dreams.

Then, humans came to this planet. In order to develop resources, humans inevitably had conflicts and contradictions with the native residents of this planet...

This is the basic idea behind Cuaron's new comic book work.

If you are willing to read it patiently, you will find that Cuaron's new work is actually very good. This novel world view setting, native residents like blue elves, various magical animals and plants, and even the alien language system, everything Everything will make people feel that it is a real world.

However, if you want to experience this wonderful journey into a fantasy world, you must patiently read through some of the previous boring worldview settings. Relatively speaking, those things are not very attractive.

There is no doubt that this is not a good thing for Cuaron's work.

What people now want to see more is a story about an ordinary person who suddenly gains some kind of superpower and then becomes a superhero.

The beginning of the story is an ordinary and even a bit frustrating life, which can easily make readers feel involved.

After gaining superpowers, readers will feel very fresh, very exciting, and very exciting.

Then he uses his superpowers to transform into a superhero, saving his city or even the world, which will make readers feel the great emotion of selflessness.

And after becoming a superhero, being supported and loved by the public can make readers feel extremely proud and proud.

Why do readers like reading superhero comic series?

Isn't it just because reading such a story can allow readers to fantasize about becoming superheroes, and then feel psychologically satisfied?

This is the fundamental reason why superhero series are so popular.

Editors have naturally seen through this essence for a long time, so when choosing comics for publication, they will predict whether a work will be successful based on the psychological needs of readers.

Obviously, if you use this set of standards to review Cuaron's new works, there is no doubt that Cuaron's works are unqualified.

Cuaron's new work does not have a storyline that can make people feel immersed in it at first. On the contrary, it is a mess of very complex worldview settings.

Even the relevant physical data of the planet are written in great detail, such as atmospheric composition, climate conditions, topography, etc... These things actually occupy more than ten pages, which seems very boring.

Even readers with lower educational levels will have no idea what the work is about.

Under such circumstances, it’s no surprise that Cuaron’s new work is well received by readers!

In addition to these, Cuarón then went on to describe a lot of the living customs of the alien local residents, as well as many introductions to animals and plants, which took up another dozen pages.

There is still nothing exciting about these contents, and they all look dry.

Although if you calm down and take a closer look, these content settings are really interesting. Everything is gradually building a fantasy alien world. Although it is a bit slow, the details are in place and everything is very reasonable. It can give people an immersive feeling.

But in this day and age, how many people are willing to calm down and take a closer look at these things?

Even Chen Feng would have been baffled by Cuaron's paintings if he hadn't watched the movie "Avatar" in the dream world.

Therefore, in the end, the new work that Cuaron spent a lot of energy to create did not even pass the editing level and was directly rejected.

According to the editor's opinion, Cuaron should still imitate those superhero series works honestly. At least, that way he can still eat and make money!

Why do these thankless things?
