With the release of the first issue of the magazine in the new year, the interview with Shen Xin by "Young Leap" was also published.

There is a small circle in the upper right corner of the cover of the magazine, with Shen Xin's portrait printed on it, and a line of words printed below the avatar - "Young Leap" editor-in-chief Tachihana Shen talks to Shen Zheng & Uematsuno.

Since Tachibana Shen originally planned to interview Shen Xin, Uematsuno's Q&A was added temporarily, and the interview content was limited, so even on "Shonen Leap", Shen Zheng's name was in front of Uematsune.

But the cartoonists who got the magazine didn't care most about this issue of "SLAM DUNK" - even in this episode, the gap between Xiangbei and Shangong widened to 22 points, and Hanamichi was replaced by Coach Anzai - they were more concerned about the interview with Shen Xin in "Young Leap", especially the part involving cartoonists.

"Teacher Shen said a lot of vernacular, it should be very common for newcomers to serve as assistants, right? Even if he doesn't say it, I know. A cartoonist asked rhetorically.

"Will the newcomer be annoyed and angry when he accepts the correction?" Another cartoonist questioned it.

"Probably not, right? Anyway, if someone points out the shortcomings in my comics, I'll be grateful. A cartoonist spoke his mind.

"The reason why I became a cartoonist is that I want to convey the story in my heart to readers through the brush, and of course, to make money - why do I have to give up one instead of both?"

Not long after the rookie cartoonist got into the debate, the editor joined the "scuffle".

"As an editor, I've met not 1,000 but 500 new people, and I can say responsibly that even if we give advice to new cartoonists who come to submit articles, there is a high probability that we will meet the kind of people who think they are right. Then, he insisted that we serialize. The number of serialization places in magazines is limited, and the serialization of one work means that another work is cut in half. We let rookie cartoonists revise their comics for their own good, because they have to compete with the comics that are being serialized, otherwise, we don't have to cut the comics that are being serialized in half. ”

That's right, some readers even admit that they are not wrong, but also ask the editor why their work is flawed. On what basis? Is it a new editor? When I met such a cartoonist, even if the drawing was good, I had to give up. ”

Not long after the latter editor posted on Weibo, someone immediately @ the editor, "May I ask which magazine are you from?" I'll post around the point in the future. ”

Not to be outdone, the editor said, "Or your pen name?" I'll see your pseudonym in the future and pass it on directly to the other editors. ”

"Mr. Shen also said that if newcomers want to get ahead, they not only need their own efforts, but also need the environment provided by the platform. A cartoonist immediately threw out another question.

"Major magazines have newcomer awards, 'Comic Festival' also has newcomer awards, Duoman has a Golden Brush Award, and even "Comic Future" also sets up awards for newcomers, aren't these all the efforts made by the platform?"

"However, even if it is an award-winning work, there is a possibility that it will be cut in half."

Shouldn't it be up to the cartoonist himself to answer this question? The platform provides a lot of convenience for newcomer comics, but getting bonuses is cut in half, no matter how you look at it, these are all related to the burnout behind the cartoonist, right? Winning an award is not the end of a cartoonist, but the starting point. You only saw that sentence, but Mr. Shen also said that cartoonists have a 'gambling' nature, if you don't plan to do so, it's better to give up as soon as possible, right? Or work as an assistant to a cartoonist. ”

The topic suddenly jumped to the "unstable" professional characteristics of cartoonists, and attracted some old cartoonists who have made achievements.

That's right, cartoonists do have the characteristics of instability. The last work was a big hit, but the new work may be directly on the street, and the serialization is cut in half after a dozen words. In today's world, it's hard to mix not only new manga artists, but also manga artists like me who have had old works in the past. ”

"Does Mr. Liu Xing know? The author of "Otherworldly Detective", his new serialization was also cut in half, and he did not survive 3 volumes. ”

"Teacher Liu Xing? That's a first-line cartoonist, I remember that the volume of "Otherworldly Detective" has an average of 600,000 copies? ”

"Who's to say it isn't? In this industry, even first-line cartoonists can't. If you want to have stable results, every manga is a big hit, which is simply unrealistic. ”

"The first-line cartoonists are no different from us, at most they make more money, but they are not sure that the next book will be popular."

"If you can determine the results of the next comics, there should be no more than 5 people in China."

"Yes. It's not just newcomers who are under pressure, but old guys like me are also under pressure, after all, the family's expenses are all on me. ”

……

Unconsciously, the topic shifted from the dilemma of newcomers entering the industry to the difficulties of serialization by old cartoonists, which Shen Xin never expected.

During the break, I was surprised to hear the assistants talk about it. However, it also has benefits, at least a wake-up call for cartoonists.

There are too many accidents in the profession of cartoonist, and sometimes the work is so popular that even the cartoonist himself may not understand the reason.

After returning from the 11th district, "SLAM DUNK" continued, and Shen Xin had to put "SLAM DUNK" in the top priority.

It is easy to be impetuous, especially the return ticket is more difficult to buy, like Liu Ruoxing, who bought a ticket half a month in advance, but it turned out that there were three or four days left before the Spring Festival, and he had not bought a ticket, so he had no choice but to buy a ticket to Hongchuan for his parents.

The return ticket is not easy to buy, but the ticket to Hongchuan is still relatively sufficient, so Liu Ruoxing invited his parents to Hongchuan for the New Year.

Among the assistants, there is more than one person who has Liu Ruoxing's plan.

Asai Hui has just returned from District 11, Gao Hang and his wife also live with their families, plus Hang Jian, who has settled in Hongchuan, for a while, there are more people staying in Hongchuan for the New Year, not to mention Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong, who are choosing themes for Xi Muhan's new work.

In addition, to Shen Xin's surprise, Lu Ning also chose to stay in Hongchuan and discuss the new work with Su Han.

In Lu Ning's words, "strive to come up with new comics as soon as possible".

"There are seven days off for the Chinese New Year, but if you feel bored, you can also come to the studio to paint."

Shen Xin made a joke about the assistant who did not leave Hongchuan, but unexpectedly, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gao Hang, Liu Rui and Asai Hui came to the studio together, and the painting work was carried out normally.

However, after all, it is the Chinese New Year, and it is impossible for Shen Xin to let them get off work at five o'clock in the afternoon as usual.

In the first and second years of junior high school, the assistants can still get off work until five o'clock, and after the third year of junior high school, everyone will basically work until eight o'clock, and then sit together, watching TV and chatting at the same time.

Xi Muhan also seems to be in trouble, the selection of the theme is often the most difficult, Xi Muhan has read the comics and materials for more than a month, and has also circled several themes, but if she wants to say which theme can be serialized in "Youth Leap", she is not sure.

Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei are more about suggesting and sorting out materials, and as for creation, they still rely more on Xi Muhan.

The two of them didn't want to put too much pressure on Xi Muhan, after all, even if Xi Muhan drew the name, Shen Xin didn't necessarily have time to draw it, so he still had to wait.

Shen Xin yawned, rubbed his eyes, and stood up after making sure that the time was already ten o'clock.

It's still the Chinese New Year, and he doesn't need to push himself too hard, just finish the work.

Three assistants sit on a sofa in the lounge area, and the coffee table is filled with cola, potato chips, sugar and melon seeds.

Shen Xin stood behind the three people, glanced at the TV, frowned, since it was the animation of "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny", it happened to be said that Ah Zhi modified the IBN5100 and cracked the program.

"I remember, it looks like the anime has already shown in episode 6, right?" Shen Xin said suddenly.

"yes, we're making up for it, teacher." Liu Ruoxing picked up a Coke and held it high.

Shen Xin took the coke, "You should also pay attention, drinking cola often is not good for your health." Drink plenty of tea. ”

"Got it, teacher, you're paying attention to your health now." Liu Rui turned around and said.

"Of course, Mr. Ye...... No, Teacher Jian already has a child, you know? Shen Xin said with a smile.

"I know, Mr. Ye has posted several Weibo posts in a row, and I can't wait for people all over the world to know." Liu Ruoxing said.

"Wait, did he send it?" Gao Hang hurriedly asked.

Jian Xiaomei's pregnancy, he only found out about it when he went to the forum, and Ye Hexu's Weibo did not have this information.

"That's right, it was deleted later...... The gossip news is said to have been deleted by Mr. Jian. Liu Ruoxing explained.

“……”

Shen Xin couldn't cry or laugh, but this was indeed in line with Jian Xiaomei's style of doing things.

Ye Hexu made remarks, rarely taking into account the occasion, and whenever he said something inappropriate, Jian Xiaomei would fix it in time.

At the beginning, the relationship between the two of them was just the author and the editor, and it was not convenient for Jian Xiaomei to "repair" Ye Hexu, but now...... It is estimated that if Ye Hexu does not delete it, Jian Xiaomei will find a way to delete it.

"Teacher, are you going to have children too?" Liu Rui asked again.

"Yes, there is such a plan, but ......" Shen Xin glanced at Xi Muhan, who was discussing the name with Yan Fei, "It's hard to say now." By the way, how is "Gate of Destiny Stone" evaluated now? ”

Liu Ruoxing looked excited, "I didn't say that the production is very high-level, and the evaluation on the Internet is very high." It is said that the funds provided by Magi and Popot are also relatively sufficient, but teacher, you must know that the current plot of "Gate of Destiny Stone" is too bland, and the audience is also at the same level. tide, however, there are no spoilers in the barrage, which is amazing. ”

The most classic of "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" is the divine twist in episode 12, but anyone who has seen and comics knows this. Once there are spoilers, those who haven't seen or comics will have one less surprise.

Therefore, Shen Xin does not recommend netizens to spoil "The Gate of Destiny Stone".
