Chapter 383: Everyone's Troubles
Before Xi Muhan came back, Shen Xin's studio would often be deserted, and it would be better during the day, but after the three assistants left, he would sit alone in front of the workbench, and he would indeed feel lonely.
Xi Muhan took a cup of milk tea, put it on Shen Xin's table, pulled over a chair, and sat quietly opposite him.
"What's wrong? Don't go typing? Shen Xin asked rhetorically.
"Hmm...... Xi Muhan shook his head, "Take a break for a while." ”
"Because of the contract?"
Xi Muhan is already very well-known in the light circle.
Lu Ning has been painting Xi Muhan's lightness, and has sold more than 100,000 copies in a single month. If the now popular "National Journey" is revised, sales will definitely rise.
Now, "The Journey of the Country" has been released in four volumes, and the average sales of a single volume are more than one million copies, which should be the signature work of "The Softest Words".
"It's not. "National Journey" is almost a million words, and according to the length, it should be finished. The serial copyright of "National Journey" has been sold, and I originally wanted to sell the comic copyright, so I chose "Manga Fly", but as a result, it was not negotiated. In the future, maybe you will still cooperate with "Girls' Century", right? Xi Muhan said depressedly.
Shen Xin laughed dryly, it was strange that he could negotiate.
"Manga Fly" is a pure shonen manga, if it is like "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes", "Manga Fly" will definitely want it, but "National Journey" narrates the emotions of the characters too much, and the plot is placed in the second place, which is not very friendly to readers who like shonen manga.
Readers of "Manga Fly" still love hot-blooded comics.
"'Girls' Century' is also good. Besides, "National Journey" is going to be made into a series, which is a great thing. Shen Xin was quite envious.
Putting the work on the screen should be the dream of most families.
This is true both on Earth and in this world. When I was an online author, I often fantasized about this kind of thing.
"It's okay. However, there has also been a light very popular book recently. Xi Muhan said depressedly.
"Huh?" Shen Xin was a little surprised, and Xi Muhan cared about it.
"What is it called, "The Prince of Innocence and the Demon Girl"...... The title of this book is too direct and not subtle at all, and it is so light that it was bought by "Manga Fly" for the copyright...... The sales of this light single book also have good sales. I don't know what the readers think. Xi Muhan puffed out his cheeks.
Shen Xin only listened to the title of the book, and knew that it was a harem text, and it should be ambiguous and relaxed.
The editorial department of "Manga Fly" also chose it because it has a wider readership.
"Lost?"
"A little. It's more of a doubt, what kind of light is good, and what direction should I go in the future? Xi Muhan was a little confused.
"Go your own way." Shen Xin leaned back in his chair, "If you weren't famous, I might say 'imitation', but now that you've walked out of your own way, let's keep going, right?" ”
From imitation to having their own style, it is a big hurdle for many authors.
"Will you draw me later?"
"No, it won't."
"Why?"
"The style doesn't match." Shen Xin replied bluntly.
Xi Muhan puffed out his cheeks depressedly.
……
Bar.
Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei sat at the bar and each ordered a glass of whiskey.
"Why didn't you go to Mr. Tamagawa today?" Wang Wenhong took a sip.
"The settings are all ready, and he can handle the next name alone. Editing, just a crutch, at most provides the author with creative conditions, and if you participate too much, it may harm the cartoonist. You should be well aware of this. ”
Chen Zijiao......
Wang Wenhong rolled his eyes, this lesson is really profound.
"Re-revise the name.,Tamagawa-sensei's new work.,It's very exciting.。
"Definitely. Anyway, I think it's possible to win the first place not to mention surpassing "Steel". Yan Fei bared her teeth and smiled.
This is also what she expects from "Game".
"There's one thing I've always wanted to ask you, but I don't know if it's appropriate." Wang Wenhong sighed.
"What's the matter?" Yan Fei looked curious.
"Then again, why did you refuse Mr. Shen's invitation in the first place? You should want to cooperate with Mr. Shen, right? ”
"That's not cooperation." Yan Fei took a sip of wine, "He hired me." ”
"Does it make a difference?" Wang Wenhong was a little puzzled.
"Yes. Actually, after Mr. Shen invited me, I thought about it a lot. I may not be able to do the things he said. Yan Fei pushed the wine glass to the bartender and motioned for another drink.
"How is that possible?" Wang Wenhong shook his head.
"It's true."
Because of drinking a glass of whiskey, Yan Fei's cheeks were a little rosy, but her eyes were brighter and brighter.
"You don't understand." Wang Wenhong turned his head to look at Yan Fei, "Teacher Shen's idea is also very simple, that is, 'stability'. Stabilize the assistant and find someone to take care of something else, and help him look at the name when you have time. ”
"You're the one who doesn't understand, right?" Yan Fei's mouth opened slightly, and her expression fell, "With a character like mine, I can't do things smoothly enough." I'm afraid don't talk about helping Mr. Shen, I'm afraid that I will drag him back again. ”
"He won't blame you." Wang Wenhong said with a smile.
"But I'll blame myself." Yan Fei stared at Wang Wenhong.
Wang Wenhong was dumbfounded.
I'm afraid this is the fundamental reason why she has been rejecting Shen Xin.
"Haha...... That's fine. I have always been the editor of Mr. Shen. Wang Wenhong rubbed his nose.
"Think beautifully." Yan Fei took the wine glass from the bartender, "The next one, I will never let you." ”
"Next?" Wang Wenhong smiled, "Who knows what the next book will be?" ”
"Wang Wenhong ......"
"Huh?"
"If Teacher Shen invites you, will you go?" Yan Fei asked.
"I don't know. I'll only think about it when he invites me. Wang Wenhong did not answer directly.
……
The release of "Steel Refining" really attracted a lot of readers.
The first two episodes have a sleek plot, no mud and water, and the setting is also very novel, which soon became the new signature of "Comic Future".
The third episode "The City of Carbon Mines (I)" was serialized, and readers quickly discovered that this issue of "Steel Refining" was only more than 20 pages, and they were disappointed. In addition, the suspension of "Hunting Abyss" caused the sales of the 29th issue of the magazine to not be as hot as expected.
A young man stood outside the door, looking at the customers who came out, many of whom had "Comic Future" in their hands.
"Sure enough, "Hunting Abyss" was not published, and I kind of regret buying this magazine."
"Like, what kind of short comics did you say you had nothing to do? Now I have lost interest in buying all of a sudden. ”
"Then again, the long-form comics for Comic Future are fine. The short story really doesn't have the idea of making people read it. ”
Men in twos and threes passed by the young man, and he clutched the bag of groceries in his hand.
A murmur suddenly sounded in the young man's ears, and he hurriedly lowered his head, but saw the little girl holding the other hand with a bitter expression.
"I'm sorry."
"I didn't ...... Dad, don't be angry. The girl looked up at the young man.
"Nope." The young man's eyes narrowed and he shook his head slightly, "No." ”
