"As exciting as 'Steel'?"
Even if the person who spoke was Shen Xin, Yan Fei still expressed doubts about these words.
In China, "Steel Forge" is not only the ceiling of royal comics, but other types of comics cannot be compared with "Steel Forged".
Shen Xin is different, he knows the results of "DN".
In the history of comics in the 11th district, there must be a reason why the average sales of a single book can rank among the top ten in history.
Of course, there are still differences between the two comics.
"Steel Forge" is a hexagonal comic, with no obvious shortcomings, and the setting, plot, character building, concept, depth, etc., all have a very high level.
"DN" is different, the characteristics are too distinct, it is a battle of wits. Moreover, although it is a very logical comic, there are many non-logical factors in the book, such as the reason why L clung to the moon is not because the moon is flawed, but because of intuition.
In other words, the big thrush handed the note to the moon, but he stood behind L, making L seem to have opened his eyes.
Otherwise, L could not have "had no evidence that the moon was Kira" and yet "ninety-nine percent believed that the moon was Kira" (DN, chapter 34).
Therefore, "DN" is not a hexagonal comic, but its brain hole is really big, the rules of notes, unexpected reversals, and games between characters make readers look forward to this comic.
In order to speed up the pace, the plot that is not related to the theme is brushed aside, which is also more attractive to the reader.
"I have that confidence." Shen Xin nodded.
Yan Fei saw Shen Xin's expression firm, and her gaze fell on the name again.
"One more point...... Or the length of the story. Yan Fei took a deep breath and was worried, "L determined the location of the moon really too quickly, only in the second word, it was determined that L was in Hongchuan, and the two had their first confrontation...... At this pace, at most twenty words, it should be over. The magazine has put a lot of effort into signing a contract with you, and if the length of the comic is too short, the magazine can't determine the plan to promote the comic. In addition, you will also need a manga to determine where you are now. ”
Yan Fei said so much, also for Shen Xin's sake.
The comic industry is very cruel, even if it is a popular cartoonist, no one can guarantee that the next work will be a big hit.
The purpose of extending the length of popular comics is not only to make money for the magazine, but also for the authors to make more money.
Shen Xin bowed slightly, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Sister Yan, do you know how to create a character?" ”
"Huh?"
Yan Fei blinked, she didn't understand why Shen Xin asked her like this.
"The characters in the works are some thin, some are three-dimensional. What's the difference? Shen Xin asked.
"Personal...... Charm? ”
"Where does personal charm come from? It is from the words and deeds of the character, from the character and connotation of the character...... These contents need space to portray. Shen Xin asked and answered,
In "DN", L and Moon are portrayed as a pair of opponents who know each other, they have distinct personalities, have their own ideas, and also have their own readership.
The shaping of the two characters is through confrontation again and again, and it gradually becomes three-dimensional, and these require space, some words or two, sometimes five or six words.
"This manga is not a work that can be completed in one or twenty words. But as for when it will be finished, I don't know. Shen Xin didn't say it too directly, even if he knew that "DN" only had fifty or sixty words, he had to hide it.
"Since you say so, then I know." Yan Fei sighed, although she felt a little regret about Shen Xin's choice, she still respected the author's opinion, "There is one thing, I want to tell you in advance, after seeing the name, Mr. Yu may go to District 11, from the current point of view, "Young Leap" is a little worried about the quality of "DN", afraid of collapse." However, we'll do our best to talk about collaboration with Shonen Leap. ”
"Well, then please."
Shen Xin's attitude towards "Young Leap" was a little surprised, but after all, they hadn't read the serialized name, and it was normal for them to have doubts about the work.
"By the way, this is a human draft, can you take it too?" Shen Xin returned to his seat and printed out the designed characters.
Grim Reaper Sulfur bowed, his black wings spread out behind him, and he looked hideous.
Thiogram also appears in the short story. Yan Fei was quite familiar with him, but when she saw Sulfur's appearance again, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
The appearance of the moon is more handsome, the kind that attracts girls, with firm eyes, calm expression, and joy and anger. Wearing a white shirt, a blue tie, and a black suit, he has a sense of rigor and meticulousness.
What kind of development will the Note have in the hands of such a character?
As for L, it is a little different from what Yan Fei imagined. The hair is messy, dark circles, and a slight hunchback. Wearing a white T-shirt and light blue jeans, with both hands tucked into his trouser pockets, no shoes or socks, and barefoot on the ground.
Sloppy!
This was Yan Fei's first feeling after seeing L.
L and the month, are simply two extremes.
Then there is Tsuki's family, and the role of the police.
After reading these characters, Yan Fei compared the name again, although it was not a finished draft, but after bringing in the image of the characters, Yan Fei's mind was also clearly displayed.
There are two more characters in the back, that is, the setting of Sea Sand (Mi Sea Sand) and Death Reim.
One is a blonde girl who likes to wear a gothic loli suit, and the other is a white Grim Reaper.
The appearance of these two characters is beyond Yan Fei's imagination, because there are no two characters in the first three episodes.
"They're going to play too? Also, will there be a second Grim Reaper? Yan Fei looked up at Shen Xin.
"Didn't I already say the first word, there is more than one god of death in this world, so even if there are other gods of death appearing, it is relatively normal." Shen Xin thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, I heard that you still have to go to District 11, right?" ”
"That's right."
"Before you go to Area 11, I'll give you some of the settings as well, right?"
The rules of DN, the eyes of death, the rules of death and other settings, Shen Xin has sorted them out.
"And the setting? That would be great. Yan Fei was also excited.
"However, before I can hand over this setting to you, I will have to sign a contract for the serialization of DN. Please tell Mr. Yu and ask him to prepare the contract. Shen Xin reminded.
Magazines and authors generally do not sign a contract for short comics, and a serialization contract will only be made after the work has passed the serialization meeting.
Yan Fei calmed down, she knew that Shen Xin was not wrong to do this.
The highlight of "DN" is, to a large extent, how Tsuki uses notes, so the settings related to notes are very important and are also the selling point of the manga.
Before the contract was signed, it was impossible for Shen Xin to reveal it casually.
"I know, tomorrow, I'll give you the contract." Yan Fei put the name and character of the first three episodes of "DN" into the envelope, took the document, and left the studio.
