My Cartoonist Guide

Shen Xin was surprised by Shi Ping's words.

Should there be a set of cartoonist teaching materials in China? And I chose "Steel Refining"...

He must think about it seriously.

The "Cartoonists Association" picked "Steel Refining" and it did have a foresight.

The plot of "Steel Refining" does not have many branches. There is only one main line from beginning to end, and the power system is also very complete. From beginning to end, it has never broken the original setting. The comics have a certain connotation, discussing the meaning of life and death, discussing "one is all", discussing human nature and anti-war, which deepens the story. On the contrary, "Steel Refining" has just the right grasp of these. Did not make the reader feel difficult and obscure.

The more crucial point is the characterization of "Steel Refining".

There is no superfluous character throughout the story, most of the characters are very lively, not to mention the formation of the protagonist team and 7 artificial people, even some small characters are equally memorable.

As for the sub-mirror and composition, the standard is also very high.

Such a work is simply a perfect manga textbook.

"The Cartoonists Association" made such a request, and Shen Xin would agree to it almost without thinking more.

From his own point of view, in the circle of Huaxia Comics, he is indeed very famous, but this popularity will always go on, but the works are incorporated into teaching materials and learned by some comics, and the reputation of "Steel Lian" will come again. Another level, at least it will be longer.

In addition, if someone really learns some skills through "Steel Refining", or has some help in the future career, then he has done a good deed not for himself, but for the world. China Comics.

"I have no problem, but the copyright of the comic "Steel Refining" is in the hands of "ComicFuture"." Shen Xin explained.

"The licensing fee for "Steel Refining" is too high..." Shi Ping looked embarrassed.

After all, "Steel Making" at the most dangerous time of "ComicFuture", with 40 pages a week, boosted the sales of "ComicFuture". This kind of miracle, "ComicFuture" has only appeared once, and Shen Xin has only done it once.

Therefore, "ComicFuture" is also very cautious about the authorization of "Steel Refining".

What's more, it is normal for the high cost of such phenomenal work as "Steel Refining".

"In this case..." Shen Xin rubbed his chin, "I can be an intermediary, but there are conditions. I want to see your plan and overall plan."

"can."

Since he wanted to get the authorization of "Steel Refining", Shi Ping knew that he had to at least hand over the proposal, which was fair.

"Well, please contact Wang Wenhong in the future, he will be responsible for this." Shen Xin asked Wu Xiaoli who was talking with Xi Muhan and Lu Ning for paper and pen, and wrote Wang Wenhong's phone number on it.

Wang Wenhong handled this kind of thing relatively smoothly, and he was just a cartoon.

Luo Zheng also wanted to have a long chat with Shen Xin after listening to Zuo Yuan's narration.

As soon as Bao Jiyi's speech was over, he looked around for Shen Xin. When he found out, he saw Shen Xin talking to an old man. After waiting for ten minutes, the old man left.

He came over immediately, for fear of being preempted by others.

As a result, after only two bites of fried noodles, Shen Xin saw Luo Zheng walking over again and smiled bitterly in his heart. It seems that it is basically impossible to have an Ansheng meal tonight.

Before coming, he had expected this possibility, and reality and guesswork were exactly the same.

However, he really did not expect that Luo Zheng would come to him. In his impression, the number of times the two people spoke was really very few.

"Mr. Luo, hello."

"Hello." Luo Zheng looked embarrassed, thinking of the situation in "Idol Age", gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Xin, "Mr. Shen, you must tell me, what are the shortcomings of "Idol Age"?"

"Huh?" Shen Xin's eyelids jumped twice, a black line.

He didn't know whether Luo Zheng wanted to hear the truth or the lie.

"Teacher Luo, what do you mean?"

"Now the performance of "Idol Age" has been declining, so there must be flaws, right?"

"You should discuss this with Xu Jie, right?"

I am not the editor in charge.

Shen Xin muttered in his heart.

"He is a member of the magazine. Many times, the interests of cartoonists and editors are not consistent." Luo Zheng said.

The interests of cartoonists are also inconsistent...Everyone is a competitor, and there must be jealousy.

Shen Xin thought to himself, and said in his mouth: "Editors are the bridge between magazines and cartoonists, and magazines have to make money from cartoons. On many levels, cartoonists and editors have the same interests."

"That's not what I mean, I mean the gap between "Idol Age" and other comics-not just ""-has gradually widened, and it is difficult to get up again. I want to transfer other themes, but the results are not good..." Luo Zheng sighed He took a sigh of relief with a sad face, "I... don't know what I should do."

Shen Xin immediately understood.

He knew for a long time that after a cartoonist finished his hot work, his new serial works might be out of town.

Of course, different people have different standards.

Take web text as an example~www.readwn.com~ If an author’s previous book is a thousand orders, then the next book is two thousand, which can be said to be a big step forward, but if his previous book is two thousand Wan Jun subscribes, then, even if the next book is three thousand Jun subscribed, he will think that the novel is in ruins.

Luo Zheng is the latter case, and as time goes by, if there is no adjustment, the situation will become more and more difficult.

"end."

"The magazine disagrees, saying that my lower works may not exceed this step. Moreover, I am not confident that the performance of the lower comics will be better." Luo Zheng entangled.

"No one can be sure about the market." Shen Xin shook his head, "including the magazine."

Hearing this, Luo Zheng suddenly had hope that was extinguished by the water. He was about to turn around and leave. Shen Xin asked again: "Others can't change the fate of the work, only you."

"But... what should I do instead?" This is what Luo Zheng cares most about.

"To put it simply, you have two problems. First, the magazine will not let you stop the update because it doesn't know the quality of the lower work. Then, if you let the magazine know the level of the new work, this problem should be solved."

"How to do it?"

"Anonymous submission. If it is unanimously approved by the editorial department, then the possibility of serialization of the new book will be very high. While serializing "Idol Times", draw another high-quality short comic and submit it under the name of the newcomer ......This time will be difficult to pass." Shen Xin explained.

This kind of operation is not uncommon in online articles. To paraphrase the words of the industry insiders, "the author of the great **** does not have many vests."

But it is extremely rare in comics, because it is very difficult to "want to draw another work while serializing it". Both the energy and the physical strength will be very tormented, and even the quality of the two works will be reduced-if the online author double-opens, the novel will be affected, not to mention the comics.
