Chapter 346: Trends and Choices

The eyes of the others fell on Shen Xin's face.

He grinned, "I'm sorry, I haven't figured it out yet." ”

It's a fact, so far, he's only sure he's going to draw a royal comic, but he doesn't know what to draw.

When it comes to royal manga, Shen Xin first thinks of "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece", but neither of them is suitable.

"Dragon Ball" Needless to say, in the history of comics in District 11, it is the top royal road comic, especially the storyboard, which can be called the "textbook" level, but this comic impressed Shen Xin too deeply, if he didn't imitate Akira Toriyama's painting style, he couldn't accept it himself, but if he imitated, he would have to change his style, which was not what he wanted.

"One Piece" is also the top royal manga in District 11, but it is significantly different from "Dragon Ball".

"Dragon Ball" has been decided, but "One Piece" is not over, and there are many possibilities in the future. However, it was precisely because "One Piece" was not finished that Shen Xin gave up it.

Oda has been drawing for 20 years, and only half of the content of "One Piece" has been drawn, what is the remaining half of the plot? I'm afraid that except for Oda and his editor-in-charge, the others are not too clear.

Thinking of this, Shen Xin felt a big head.

As for other comics, at first glance, they can all be considered, so Shen Xin doesn't know what to choose.

"Hey, Mr. Shen, it's time to be sure, if you're not sure, it's the New Year." Wang Wenhong hurriedly said.

"It's just the ...... of the Chinese New Year," Yan Fei reminded.

"What happened just after the Chinese New Year? The new comic has to design the background and outline, and it is also necessary to look at a lot of materials and draw a name. Once the serialization meeting has passed, the original manuscript is drawn. If Mr. Shen drags on for a few more months, won't it be the New Year? Wang Wenhong reminded.

After being reminded by Wang Wenhong, Yan Fei also noticed the urgency of time, and asked Shen Xin uncertainly, "Do you want to take a year off?" ”

"Uh...... It depends. ”

How can such a thing be determined?

Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong glanced at each other, then looked at Shen Xin, and said in unison: "It must be determined today." ”

Shen Xin looked at the others, except for Xi Muhan's pitying gaze at him, the expressions of the others were almost the same--you should work.

Shen Xin sighed helplessly, seeming to ...... Lazy cancer is committed.

People are like this sometimes, and often the first step is the hardest.

It's like sleeping lazy, people are obviously awake, they still want to curl up in the bed, and even see if they can be lazy for an hour or two, if they rely on their will to force themselves to get up from the bed, they will find that there is nothing wrong with leaving the bed - but they just don't want to get up.

It's the same with creation, if you don't want to do it all the time, over time, it will be delayed.

The same is true for online authors, such as stopping updates for academic or card reasons, and then issuing a statement, and coming back after a period of time to renew it, and the result is that the author is likely to be gone forever.

They may really have their own business, or they may have a lazy cancer attack, stop updating, and never pick it up again.

Shen Xin didn't want to be such a person, so he took a deep breath and said to Wang Wenhong: "Then after eating, let's determine the idea first." ”

Wang Wenhong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again, Shen Xin's words were exactly what he was looking forward to.

After dinner, Xi Muhan, Ji Yinxuan and others went to the cinema together, while Shen Xin, Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei came to the café, ordered a cup of coffee each, and then sat down around the round table in a triangular shape.

"Let me start with it, I want to draw adventure comics, after all, no matter how good niche comics are, in the end, these kinds of comics have to prove themselves." Shen Xin looked at Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong.

"I know." Wang Wenhong nodded, "Many of the popular royal comics in China are imitating District 11, that is, the blood is supreme, like the most popular "Legend of the Dragon King" in the magazine. Although the protagonist of "Hunting the Abyss" relies more on his own efforts and keeps forging ahead, he also has the role of blood. Isn't there a saying? 'The protagonist of the royal road comic must have 90% sweat and 10% blood, but it is precisely 10% of the blood that determines the direction of the comic.' ”

"That's right."

This is the standard mode of most Japanese comics, such as Naruto, Ichito, Inuyasha and other familiar characters, but this is not absolute, like Seiya, and there is no overly strong bloodline, but it is still the protagonist of the royal manga.

Bloodline comics are indeed very burning, after all, in case the protagonist can't beat the opponent, he can rely on the bloodline to flip the situation.

"There's also martial arts, but those comics don't fit into ComicFuture."

After hearing Wang Wenhong's explanation, Shen Xin probably also has an understanding of the current Chinese comics, and the royal comics with "blood" as the golden finger are still the mainstream.

Creation is like this, sometimes editors are under pressure from the business, and often ask cartoonists to imitate popular works, commonly known as "following the trend". This approach will make the risk of magazines and cartoonists much less, but it will also bring a problem - the works will converge.

In the case of the Internet, if a certain genre of fantasy is sought after by readers, such as "systematic flow", other authors will follow suit. Similarly, the light of the 11th area also tends to the harem and the dragon Aotian.

When the painstaking work is not recognized by the market, the author will naturally start to imitate it in order to win the maximum profit. It doesn't matter if this trend is right or wrong, people tend to pros and cons, and once they encounter setbacks, they will reduce the risk of failure.

But for the market as a whole, it is not necessarily a good thing that there are too many works with similar styles. The prosperity of the market fades, and those authors who can only imitate will be eliminated by the market.

Now there are two paths in front of Shen Xin, whether to use blood and blood as the selling point like traditional comics, or find another way.

Shen Xin fell into a long thought, and the coffee cup was in his mouth, but he didn't drink it for a long time.

"Or, you can think about the subject matter." Yan Fei, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

Subject matter?

Shen Xin put down the cup and looked at Yan Fei puzzled.

"Wang Wenhong just now considered from the perspective of the protagonist, even if it is determined that the protagonist is given some kind of blood, but the subject matter is outdated, and it still can't attract readers. On the contrary, as long as the subject matter is novel enough, whether it is bloodline, it can still win the love of a large number of readers. Therefore, if it cannot be determined, it can be considered from the element of subject matter. What you want to bring to your readers, and who you want your readers to be. ”

Yan Fei's words gave Shen Xin another idea.

"Yan Fei, what you're thinking about is too complicated, right? Since it was serialized on "ComicFuture", it must be a domestic comic. Wang Wenhong said impatiently.

"I think so, Mr. Shen has already won a lot of domestic comic awards, in this case, why not prove yourself in the overseas market?" Yan Fei looked at Shen Xin.
