"Doesn't that come to the second floor often...... Sister Ruoxuan? ”

Wu Hongyan's eyes were sharp, and she first saw Li Ruoxuan, who was sitting on the glass wall of the café and talking to a foreign girl.

Li Ruoxuan often comes to Phantom Animation, and over time, even newcomers like Wu Hongyan know about this editor, but she hasn't been here since May, and now seeing her in England surprised the two.

Li Ruoxuan's discussion with the other party seemed to have come to an end, she stood up and shook hands with the other party, and the girl who didn't look very old immediately left the café, leaving Li Ruoxuan alone.

"Really, she's coming to England too?"

Lin Shuyi had never heard of these things, and was very surprised at the moment.

After thinking about it, they went into the café to say hello.

Li Ruoxuan was a little surprised by the appearance of the two, but she didn't seem surprised.

"I said hello to Brother Yasuhara before, and I'm going to help you pick up the wind tomorrow."

She explained that as the main person in charge of New Front Media in Europe, Li Ruoxuan basically has to fly here and place all the time, and Li Ruoxuan was naturally contacted by Phantom Animation's trip to England.

"Sister Ruoxuan, was that the comic book author just now?"

Wu Hongyan asked rather mysteriously.

"Well, yes, she needs to work during the day, and only at night does she have time to discuss storyboards."

Li Ruoxuan has a document bag in her hand, which must be some comic materials.

"The editorial office here in England has just been established, and I have been staying here for the last month to maintain the authors."

She explained.

"I don't know what kind of cartoons the people here draw."

Wu Hongyan muttered to herself, of course she knew that Li Ruoxuan, as an editor, could not show the author's original manuscript or storyboard to outsiders.

"If you're interested, check out our magazine."

Li Ruoxuan took out a magazine from the bag behind her, compared to the small book of Huaxia, the comic page here is larger, almost equal to the size of A4 paper, Wu Hongyan looked at the cover in English, and suddenly had a wonderful feeling.

A few Chinese people discuss English comics in an English café, and there seems to be something wrong.

Wu Hongyan could tell that this was the second issue of the magazine.

Flipping through the page, she saw several familiar names, and it was obvious that this was the English version of several of the most popular works of "Monthly Junior Front", which even included "Music Girl", and it was directly a college chapter.

But the difference is that the whole magazine uses color pages, and the first time I read the colorful college story of "Music Girl", Wu Hongyan felt that there was a different flavor, she flipped through it, and found that they were basically British cultural works, and only two short stories were created by crooked nuts.

"People in Europe prefer to read on the Internet, and most of them used to read pirated translations of the Anglo-Chinese group, but the company weighed it off, so the progress of the comics started recently, and the previous content was put on the official website and can be read for a fee."

Li Ruoxuan explained that the promotion of legalization has always been a difficult problem, and for readers who are accustomed to seeing piracy, it is not so simple to immediately make them pay for it, and if tough measures like Tomato Video Network are taken, it is likely to backfire and hinder the promotion of legalization.

Therefore, the new front media is now divided into two routes to advance, the first is the British culture of well-known comics, and the second is to cultivate local cartoonists, in fact, because Europeans and Americans prefer full-color comics, the style of comics here is also different from that of China, if it is simply British, it is difficult to continue to develop.

This is also the result of Li Ruoxuan's investigation after coming over.

"It feels more realistic."

Lin Shuyi took a look at the two short stories, the painting style is tough, more like the realistic style of oil painting texture of "Bloodborn: Curse" than the cute style, the plot is half a pound and eight taels, and it is normal for the short stories to be more exquisitely conceived.

Excellent color comics require a lot of effort to color, generally in China, only the frontispiece color page of each issue will be in full color, and a month's notice must be given.

For example, the full-color comics in the overseas version of "Monthly Shonen Frontline" are actually not drawn by the author himself, but are colored by a more reliable outsourcing studio, and after the original author specifies the color, the studio colors them, and then returns them to the original author for confirmation, which is more like the creation method of animation coloring.

It's faster, but it's impossible to get as detailed as the original.

At the same time, color comics can cover up the problem of painting to a certain extent, Lin Shuyi carefully looks at these comics, more or less in the shadows, there are flaws in the lines, but the impact of color can make people ignore these problems when they see the picture at first sight, in a sense, it is more suitable for novices to create.

Of course, in the hands of comics, the impact of color comics is definitely stronger, but it seems unrealistic to let these newcomers to comics who are just starting out draw at that level.

"It's really hard, and I have to work so late."

Wu Hongyan flipped through the comics and felt a little emotional.

It's close to ten o'clock in the evening, and it should normally be the time to rest at home, but Li Ruoxuan still has to communicate with the author, which is really hard.

"Actually, I'm happy to see the slightly clumsy but persistent appearance of these creators here, even though everyone speaks different languages, they all have the same heart to create interesting stories."

Li Ruoxuan drank the black tea in the cup.

"I have neither a talent for storytelling nor a talent for drawing, but I love animation and comics, so I chose this kind of work, just to get closer to my dream, and now I can't be lazy when I see these ignorant creators working so hard."

It was not early, and the three of them chatted a few more words, and Li Ruoxuan drove the magazine to send the two back to the hotel.

At night, Lin Shuyi took a bath, wore pajamas, and glanced at Wu Hongyan, who was already exhausted and lying asleep on the bed, and smiled helplessly.

She came to the balcony, looked at the exotic city that gradually fell into sleep in the light, felt the air different from China, and suddenly, a little inspiration burst out in her heart.

"In "Your Name", when Ye exchanged his body to Long's body, did he also look at the unfamiliar city like this?"

As a girl who grew up in a small country town, she is full of longing for the big city, when she comes to Ningjiang, will she have similar feelings, will she think of her hometown?

A lot of emotion surged in her heart, Lin Shuyi took out her mobile phone and kept recording her thoughts.

After the recording was completed, she suddenly had some understanding and understood why Xu Rui would let herself come to England with her, which was not only a hone of skills, but also a sense of mood.
