Since "Wanyou King" won the first place, then "Bad Luck Superman" is likely to be outside the top ten. It's not like this kind of Waterloo hasn't happened, and 90% of that kind of work is cut in half in ten words.

Zou Gu grew his mouth, and his snot flowed out in fright. No...... No, he gave Wang Daoyi the exclusive secret of popularity, how could "Bad Luck Superman" fall out of the circle, definitely, he must be dreaming!

Zou Gu pinched his face hard, inhaling in pain. The other editors of the four groups were not stunned, they had always regarded the wrong analysis as correct, and at this time, they suddenly heard that "Wanyou Wang" won the first place, and they also felt impossible.

Although the editors of the second and third groups are not as sure as the first group, there are also many editors who speculate that "Wanyou Wang" is the main reason for the increase in sales, and naturally they are not as surprised as the people in the fourth group.

One group had an expression that I knew it would be.

"It doesn't matter, even if he wins the first place, he will have to be cut in half. Although my "Bad Luck Superman" slipped outside the top ten, at least there is still a chance to be serialized, and sooner or later it will be able to turn around......" Zou Gu lowered his head and whispered, his expression as hideous as a ghost.

The same is probably true of what others think. They all know that "Wanyou Wang" can only be cut in half, because the scarf trailer was drafted by the deputy editor-in-chief himself and sent out by the intern editor. The end preview is also something that has been planned for a long time this time. So even if Li Er gets the first place, it's useless.

There are also editors who feel sorry for Lear. He's a good editor, but he's arrogant. The first time I participated in the flash meeting, I made a lot of nonsense, although it was really done for him in the end, but it still left a bad image for the leader. If he had been more modest, it wouldn't have been like this.

If you make it like this, even if you have the ability, what's the use. There is more than one person who can work but is led to wear small shoes and sit on the cold bench because he offends people, Li Er is still too young and does not understand the way of life in the workplace.

Bao Congyun knocked on the table, drawing everyone's attention. He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone knows about this silent demonstration. Readers, as well as public opinion on the Internet, reacted more strongly to our halving of "Wanyou King". ”

"Originally, we wanted to cut "Wanyou King" in half, because "Wanyou King" was at the bottom several times in a row, and it was no longer popular. But in these two issues, the author has made great progress, and the story has become exciting. All of this is in the eyes of our senior management. ”

"To be honest, with such an excellent work, we don't want to let him finish it without permission. Ending such a work is a loss for the readers, and it is also a loss for "Shangjing Boys". ”

"So we decided to ......" Bao Congyun stroked his glasses and paused, "Let "Wanyou King" continue to be serialized. Well, it is a continuation of serialization in "Weekly Shangjing Boy". "Wanyou King" is indeed worthy of our exception. ”

"If you have that half-cut work, if you can get the first place in two consecutive issues like "Wanyou King", it will naturally make us make an exception. "Weekly Shangjing Boy" wants interesting works that can move readers. As long as it is such a work, we will never refuse it. Remember, "Weekly Shangjing Boy" is the best comic magazine in China, and it has been, is, and will always be!"

Slap, smack, smack. The applause gradually rang out. The editors-in-chief, while the editors applauded, did not forget to set their eyes on Li Er.

Li Er also applauded. Of course, he didn't believe Bao Congyun's rhetoric, if he hadn't found the chairman, the editor-in-chief would definitely have cut "Wanyou King" in half.

Having experienced so many things in the workplace, he also summed up an experience. That is, you should never take other people's words for it. What others say is just what he lets you hear, and what he really thinks still has to be analyzed from his behavior.

If Bao Congyun is really what he said, then why did he wait for the fans to demonstrate before doing so? He also asked the editor to close the comments and delete the scarf?

He wanted "Wanyou Wang" to be serialized in "Weekly Shangjing Boy", so why let Editor-in-Chief Zhao Pang prepare a new serialization?

To be honest, Li Er really hates this kind of behavior, isn't it over if he says something directly, why bother with these twists and turns.

obviously changed his mind because of the chairman's order, as if he pardoned it because he sympathized with "Wanyou King".

True Nyima is hypocritical.

Li Er couldn't get used to Bao Congyun, and Bao Congyun was also a little exhausted, so he didn't want to say more. casually explained a few words about the arrangements for follow-up matters, and then the meeting was dismissed.

Probably because of the resurrection of "The King of Ten Thousand Travels", the editors, who were afraid to avoid Li Er as an infectious virus, flocked to Li Er after the meeting and said hello to Li Er. made Li Er annoyed, made an excuse, and took Zhang Huaishan and the two of them to Gao Qiao for refuge.

Gao Qiao was sitting in front of the computer drawing a new card, because he didn't need to use the original paper, he was using a pen tablet to draw. Speaking of which, Gao Qiao was still the first person to contact the pen tablet, and when he was in a game company in 97, he used the Yingte generation for work reasons. Now it's the fifth generation of Yingte, but because the magazine requires hand-drawing, it is rare to draw with a pen tablet.

Drawing is much easier than hand-drawing, and if you want to cancel any line, just use the back key. Unlike hand-drawing, the outline part is difficult to modify, and the traces will be obvious if you use correction solution.

"Can I really start drawing the fourth episode?" Gao Qiao jumped for joy when he heard the news that he could continue the serialization. The strong man of 1.990 pounds jumped not for fun, Li Er was afraid that he would step out of a hole in the ground. Redecorating is still a trivial matter, and it is not good to scare the residents downstairs.

"Of course, according to the plot we were discussing at the time. We took first place both times, which shows that we are on the right track. You can draw a three-story storyboard for me first, and one original script. ”

"I can draw the script now, wait for me, it will only take half an hour. Gao Qiao hurriedly found his sketchbook, held a pencil in his hand, and drew it on the coffee table.

It was the first time that Li Er and Zhang Huaishan had seen the cartoonist's live sketches so closely. I saw Gao Qiao draw the grid very quickly. Then draw the shape of the head in a circle in the grid, and then draw a cross line on it, and the approximate facial features.

With a few strokes, the general folds of the clothes and the hairstyles of the characters are drawn, and the blackened parts are covered with diagonal lines.

Arms, hands, and feet are replaced by geometric shapes summarized in blocks and circles. Then there's the dialog, the scene dialogue box, and the dialogue inside. After finishing one page, go straight to the second page and continue drawing......

The structure that can be drawn clearly with one line is definitely not used by Gaoqiao. Smooth lines, joyful human body dynamics, clever composition. Make the whole picture look pleasing to the eye. Even if it's a draft, a comic editor like Lear can effortlessly make up the finished drawings of the original.

Gao Qiao clearly had a detailed idea of the whole storyboard in his head, and almost without thinking, his pen continued to draw the whole scene. The experience of the original game makes his human body structure very accurate, and it is commendable that he can easily complete various difficult human poses without any reference or auxiliary lines, and every muscle is in the right position. This made Li Er very admirable.

"It's done. Gao Qiao threw away the pen, picked up the sketchbook and was about to hand it to Li Er, but he almost fell down as soon as he wanted to stand up. It turned out that he had been kneeling for too long, which made his feet numb.

Zhang Huaishan picked up Gao Qiao and asked him to sit on the sofa. Li Er took the sketchbook and flipped it up.

Although I watched Gao Qiao draw it just now, it was a different feeling to read it continuously.

In painting, Li Er can no longer help Gao Qiao improve, and even he needs to learn like Gao Qiao. Especially in the storyboard, Li Er had no contact with relevant knowledge at all. It's just that after joining the company, I watched a book on basic movies and storyboards.

Movie storyboards and comic storyboards are similar, but they are very different. Comics are based on pages, and the spread between pages, the connection between the front and back of the spread, and the distribution of story content between pages are extremely important.

A good storyboard leaves the suspense at the end of a page, and the reader will be forced to keep scrolling back. This is also the reason why many people find some comics addictive.

If you re-read some of the works you have seen before, you will find that many manga artists are using this technique. Whether consciously or unconsciously, they will always put the suspense in the last box of a page and then force the reader to turn the page to reveal the answer.

Put it on "Wanyou King", it is the picture of card drawing. In the last square of a page, Wanyou draws cards. If the audience wants to know what card Wanyou is drawing, they have to turn the next page.

There are many such casual tricks that readers won't notice at all when they read them. Only from the perspective of the creator, to analyze, to find, these skills will be revealed in front of people.

Li Er likes to use this method to restructure the comics he has read. A successful comic, the techniques he uses can be replicated. When others realize this skill when they are creating, the stories they create can be taken to the next level.

Like Zhang Huaishan, it may be easier to use intuition. But that can't be copied, and it's not something that can be learned and mastered.
