Zongman: Why are your comics full of knives!

Signing?

When the old things were brought up again, Nangong Mu couldn't help but fall into thought.

Regarding this matter, the little editor mentioned it during the summer vacation.

But at that time, due to the summer weather, and other factors,

was directly fooled by him.

When I heard this proposal again this time, I had a completely different idea.

The purpose of the signing meeting is mainly to narrow the distance between you and fans.

An activity to increase the sales of works and personal fame.

At that time, Nangong Mu did not have much desire for fame.

Money also belongs to the salted fish mentality that as long as it is enough.

Although I have the work "Flower Name" in my hand, I didn't work too hard.

The degree of homework each time is only at the speed of one conversation per week.

But now it's different.

Whether it's personal fame or money, the more the better!

In this case, it is necessary to hold a book signing party.

Seeing that Nangong Mu was silent, Yinsha saw that Zhang had misunderstood his meaning.

Then he spoke: "Isn't "The Magic Circle" going to be broadcast on the new fan in October?" "

"It will definitely attract more new fans then."

"Take this as an opportunity to launch a book signing party, and the "Magic Circle" Collector's Edition, which will definitely sell a lot!"

"Of course, this is just a little bit of my immature advice, and it's up to you to decide."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Nangong Mu showed a strange look on his face.

Remember when you first met, even an internal letter would have the wrong newcomer?

In just half a year, it has actually grown to this point.

"Editor-in-Chief Mino really didn't misread you!"

Hearing Nangong Mu's heartfelt emotion, Yin Sha was stunned, and then his face flashed a little shy red.

"This... Is this praising me!? "

"Can you be bold and get rid of the latter and now you've grown into a pretty good editor?"

So that's how this guy sees me?

Hey.

It's really embarrassing!

He smirked like this, but his face was completely proud!

It will be a joy to be affirmed by outsiders for your work.

Not to mention being affirmed by the teacher in charge!

But.

After being happy for a little 04, Otosa saw that Zhang also came back to his senses:

"So, what are your thoughts on the book signing?"

"You have said the benefits so obviously, why refuse?"

Nangong smiled and said, "Although I may be a little tired, I am also a little curious about how popular I am now." "

"I just hope that there won't be no one that day, and that would be embarrassing."

Yinsha saw Zhang Renjun and couldn't help it: "I just hope that when that day comes, you won't complain that there are too many people." "

"Now that it's decided, how about October 1st? It happened to be Sunday. "

"No problem."

"The specific time is 10 o'clock in the morning, the specific location, I'll tell you after the selection later, remember to SNS to help publicize it?"

"Well, I don't want too few people to come that day, otherwise wouldn't it be very faceless?"

Hang up.

Nangong Mu returned his gaze to his workbench.

Today is Saturday, just when it is time to paint "Three Questions of Doom".

In my mind, I couldn't help but play back the passage of Otosa Mi Zhang.

"A collector's edition of The Magic Circle!?"

This sentence reminded him slightly.

A finished manga can be reprinted, with added quality and little things,

Do a secondary charge.

So...

"Why can't the Trivial Trivia, which was originally a light novel, release a light novel first!?"

There will be such mistakes, mainly because they fall into the thinking mistake at the beginning.

Because I myself draw comics, I subconsciously thought of launching this work in the form of comics.

But thinking carefully about his current situation, the two works are in serialization,

Until one of them ends, it will definitely not be possible to continue serialization.

If you directly launch a single book, you must wait until you have drawn at least 9 episodes.

At present, I want to promote these two works at the same time,

The difficulty encountered was slightly greater than expected.

The main focus of the story of "Three Questions of Doom" is the everyday aspect.

The protagonist's slightly lazy and warm daily life in the "Goblin Warehouse" makes people look forward to and move.

So when the maidens face the death that is coming,

It will feel so unforgettable!

Therefore, when comparing the anime version for manga adaptation, the main focus is also on this aspect.

Because of the foundation of the first two works, it is very easy to draw.

The main difficulty this time is actually on "Guilty Crown"!

After going through it many times in my mind,

Nangong Mu finally decided to make a certain adaptation of the plot!

First of all, about the background of the story,

Everything is the change that began 10 years ago, on what was called the Lost Christmas!

Therefore, it is necessary to make some explanation at the beginning.

At least from the perspective of fans who have never seen this work,

Without an explanation for this, there will be a strong sense of fragmentation and conflict in many places.

The method of expression can be in the form of a dream like "Magic Circle", but it also has to reveal more information accordingly.

The second is the compactness of the story!

According to the animation, the OP and ED sides are removed, and the duration of the episode is about 22 minutes.

It is expressed in the form of a manga, which is equivalent to the content of 2 episodes.

But there is no need!

Many parts of the story seem redundant, lengthy, and boring.

Although it is for the subsequent emotions, the change of the protagonist's personality as a foreshadowing, but it is somewhat too wordy.

At least Nangong Mu remembers that when he first saw this work,

The first two words were almost shown to him and fell asleep.

There are two main reasons for falling asleep,

One of the things is that I don't know what story to express.

Another reason is that even if you combine these two episodes, it will not seem too obtrusive.

So when it was adapted into a manga, there were 22 episodes in the whole work, but he wouldn't draw 44 out,

At most, the range of 24-26 episodes is almost enough.

Besides.

The beauty of the characters cannot be overlooked.

Cute is justice!

It is precisely because it is cute enough that it will make the reader feel sad enough when it dies!

Other characters aside, the school festival and the prayer must be liked by the reader!

With Nangong Mu's painting and the portrayal of the original story, it is not difficult to do this.

Finally, it is the expression of this work!

Needless to say, "Flower Name", which made readers cry yesterday, is itself an "everyday" work.

Although "Magic Circle" has magical girls, it looks like it is in terms of combat, but it is actually more "everyday".

The length is mainly composed of memories, interactions between girls, and personal monologues,

Fighting is only one very trivial aspect of this.

It's better to say that there is not much performance at all.

"Three Questions of Doom" will also take this form.

And "Crown of Sin" Nangong Mu does not intend to do this,

He's ready to give more to the battle!

With the content compressed, there were not too many battles throughout the text,

Bound to get a lot of increase!

This will give the reader the impression that this is a work of passion!

As we all know, there are almost no knives in the bloody works!

There will be more audiences too!

There is absolutely no idea of tricking fans into killing!

It is a mature judgment made after careful consideration!

And the protagonist's somewhat weak character at the beginning is also an indispensable metamorphosis in hot-blooded works!

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

"I think the day the protagonist blackens will also make the readers more shocked!?"

For these reasons.

Progress in "The Guilty Crown" is exceptionally slow at the moment.

It took more than a week to finish the second episode.

He also painted for more than a week, and now he has finished painting 4 of "Three Questions of Doom"!

The gap in speed is clear at a glance.

"By the way, the production of the Sword Drawing Divine Comedy must also be arranged in the plan."

There is also a representative "Departures ~ Love Song for You~", which can not be less. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

So much for that.

The main thing is to express that these two works in Nangong Mu's current hands,

If you want to meet the fans, you have to wait a lot of time.

This is "Three Questions of Doom" adapted from the light novel,

It happens to fill a certain vacancy during this time.

After all, unlike painting, it takes a lot of time to draw or even copy it.

Under the premise of having a template, the light novel can code 10,000 words in an hour with Nangong Mu's hand speed (this is typing speed, codewords still have to think, and copying is not the same thing at all, don't substitute it casually!) ），

Even if you write out the contents of a total of 5 volumes,

It will also not take more than a week.

Such a convenient wool, how can it be missed?

Thinking of this, Nangong Mu made a decision,

"Don't rush to draw today."

Write the first volume of the "Three Questions of Doom" novel first!

Other people's novels, illustrations, and animations can be contracted by one hand,

It should be reasonable for him to expand his business in fiction a little!?

As for writing a light novel, will there be no copyright in your hand and you can no longer draw manga casually?

Joke.

What about Shueisha in the manga business?

Everyone else has been involved in ACG.

It's just that comics are relatively the best developed.

The copyright is in the hands of a company, and after that it is not how he wants to come, how to come!?

Of course.

Even if you want to release a light novel first, don't worry about it for now.

"Let's wait until after the book signing meeting to talk to the editor of Otosha."

After planning the next arrangements accordingly.

Nangong Mu also calmed down, took out his mobile phone and entered SNS to send a dynamic, and then put into work.

"Is there really no way?"

The girl moved her plump legs to fold together, and the silk rubbed to make a "hissing" sound.

Long dark hair, dazzling white skin, perfect face, and a body that is the envy of any contemporary.

Of course, there are also the beautiful legs that can easily steal the attention of other men.

It's just that the girl's mood is obviously wrong at the moment.

Any stranger could feel her anxiety at this moment.

Not to mention Machida Enko, who sat across from the girl and had known her for a year.

Although she is also a big beauty, she looks mature and capable in a professional outfit,

There is both the sweetness of a mature woman like a peach and the competence of a professional woman.

But compared to Shiyu Kasumigaoka who is full of youthful aura in front of him,

But it's not worth mentioning.

It's as if women may have many demands on men.

A man only needs to meet one requirement, 18 years old.

Of course, a little smaller doesn't matter.

Facing Shiwa Kasumigaoka who looked irritable, Machida Sonoko sighed:

"Although I don't want to be so categorical, it is what it is."

"The sales of the third volume of "Love Metronome" are too low, and it is difficult to release the fourth volume."

To say that it is difficult is actually equivalent to announcing a decision to cut the waist.

After all, with the current situation, it is impossible for the company to continue to invest resources in publicity.

Rather, the release of the third volume itself did not use much resources.

Whether it's the newcomers who are getting more attention,

Or a new work that makes fans look forward to more after winning the big award,

They are all more worthy of investment than the first two volumes, which are average in sales and can even be said to be low, right?

Shiyu Kasumigaoka, who has excellent results in itself, can certainly hear the meaning of his own editor.

But she was still unwilling!

Unwilling to let his first work end like this!

"However, the third volume, whether it is praise or the quality of the article, has improved significantly from the previous one!?"

Of course, the conscientious Machida Enko knows this.

But ah...

"Shi Yu, you have to know one thing, the previous works are not attractive, and the reader has long given up."

"How can they know your ascension without seeing the third volume coming!?"

Saying this, Machida Sonoko sighed again:

"Think about it from another angle of 963, your current level is already very good."

"If you reopen a work, maybe it will sell directly?"

"Let's not dwell on this book, how?"

Shiyu Kasumigaoka pursed her lips.

Some stubbornly looked away and did not speak.

It's like a silent protest in this way.

Seeing this, Machida Enko sighed in her heart.

There was no further persuasion.

After all, this kind of thing is mainly the key to the fact that the parties can think about it.

No matter how much outsiders say, it is useless.

Right at this moment.

The mobile phones that the two placed on the table vibrated at the same time.

Machida Enko, who had nothing to do, subconsciously picked it up.

Seeing the prompt message above, a touch of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.

"Book signing?"

Shiyu Kasumigaoka, who had his head on the side, turned his head and revealed puzzlement in his eyes.

"That thing is useless, is it? For me, a small author who was already unpopular. "

I remember it was in the first volume.

At that time, she had just won the company's silver award.

After the publication of the first volume, I wanted to hold a book signing party to increase the popularity by relying on the popularity of the time.

The reality is mediocre.

"I'm even better now than I was when the first volume was released."

Saying this, a self-deprecating wry smile appeared on his delicate facial features.

"Even if you want to hold it now, the company is not willing to spend resources!"

As a mature editor, Machida certainly did not say this kind of thing.

Instead, he smiled and comforted: "Well, it's not what you think." "

“？"

"The hottest warrior of love and hope lately, you know?"

"A little freak that has just popped up recently in the company's comics section has just posted on SNS that he is holding a book signing."

Warriors of love and hope!?

Hearing this name, Kasumigaoka Shiwa was stunned, and then picked up his mobile phone.

I saw that the prompt just now said that the warrior of love and hope you follow released a new dynamic xxx.

Click on it without hesitation and read the above content.

As a fan, Shiyu Kasumigaoka nodded thoughtfully: "October 1st?" "

"Eh, you also pay attention to poetry?"

Machida Enko noticed a curious opening.

"Isn't it very out of place to peek at the girl's mobile phone?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu opened her mouth expressionlessly.

"Sorry."

The expression on his face eased slightly, and Kasumigaoka Shiyu replied: "You also said that the other party is a very powerful guy, isn't it normal to pay attention?" "

The actual situation is that the girl is a fan of the other party.

"That's what I said."

Machida Enko did not doubt him, and then sighed: "But it is really powerful!" "

"Even when I watched "Flower Name" yesterday, I couldn't help but cry."

"It is said that that guy is one year younger than you, and he is still in his second year of high school, what a monster!"

"It turns out that the rumors are true, and it's only a sophomore in high school..."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought silently in his heart.

"Well, anyway, you should think about my previous proposal, right?"
