Chapter 429: Xi Muhan's Choice
Shen Xin looked at Wang Wenhong suspiciously, "This is what the editor-in-chief means?" ”
"Hmm. "Hunting Abyss" doesn't know when it will end, and the magazine is under a lot of pressure. At that point, the pressure will be on "Steel" and "Game". ”
"I'm afraid that the length of "Game" will not be too long." Shen Xin said casually.
"Wouldn't it? The serialization time of "Game" is later than that of steel refining...... Wang Wenhong said.
"It has nothing to do with the length of the serialization." Shen Xin looked at Wang Wenhong, who looked puzzled, opened the drawer, and took out a can of Coke.
"Didn't Xiaohan let you drink it?" Wang Wenhong asked.
"Shhh Shen Xin chuckled, "As for me, I think the length of some comics can be judged from the beginning. ”
"Really?" Wang Wenhong was stunned.
"Of course. Let's put it this way, there is a part of the comics that are doing 'addition', and this part of the comics accounts for the vast majority. The story starts from one point and gradually spreads out to all sides. As the plot progresses, new companions will join and new 'maps' will appear, and in this way, the length of the manga will be extended. "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting the Abyss" are all of this genre.
"In addition, there is a kind of comic that is doing 'subtraction', which is fixed in one place at the very beginning, with a limited number of people, and as the plot progresses, the characters are constantly decreasing. Game is one such manga. The story is coming to an end when there is only 1 left in the final number, and there is no room for maneuver.
"However, comics are commercial creations after all, so there are ways to crack this type of comics. One is strung together with one story after another, and the length of each story is not long, which is the mode of common detective mystery comics. There is also a way to keep the length of the manga by keeping the number of characters in a stable range, even though some characters are leaving, but also new ones. ”
The representative work of the former mode is "The Book of Incidents of Kanedaichi Teenager", and the works of the latter mode are "Killing City" and "Infinite Horror".
"But so far in Game, nothing has changed, which means that the final number of people will be equal to 1 or even 0. At this point, the manga ends. Shen Xin explained.
This method is actually to firmly grasp the reader's attention, and no new characters are added halfway, but the number of people is constantly decreasing, so that the reader always maintains a sense of tension until the winner is decided, which reminds Shen Xin of Nobuyuki Fukumoto's "Gambling Apocalypse".
"If what you're saying is true, isn't Game almost over?"
"It's not so fast, and there are still half of the people? Except for a few protagonists, most of them are soy sauce, and it doesn't matter if they die. Sister Yan is the editor in charge of Mr. Yuchuan, so she must know more. Shen Xin said casually, "However, don't talk too much, it has nothing to do with you." ”
It's rude to point out to other cartoonists who are in charge of editing.
"You know, I'm not interested in his work." Wang Wenhong waved his hand, "Anyway, before the end of "The Legend of the Dragon King", you should keep some more manuscripts, right?" After all, it may really be up to you then. ”
"You're not looking for a new author?" Shen Xin asked curiously.
"That's it for now, right?" Wang Wenhong sighed, "A good author can be met but not sought." ”
"Don't say so many sighs...... This is the name of Episode 49, and I'll give it to you. There's also the original manuscript for episode 46 downstairs, so don't forget to take it when you leave. ”
"Got it." Wang Wenhong took the name of the 49th episode and glanced at the name of this sentence - "Wang's Eye".
The president speaks out of this and personally encircles the artificial Greed, the army plays against the synth, and the president plays against Greed.
The name of this sentence is also full of a lot of fighting, but it is a fist to the flesh, and the strength of the fist is reflected through the line and speed line.
It's the same name.,It's the same fighting.,Compared with "Holy Martial Academy" and "Steel Forge", the gap is suddenly reflected.
The level of two people is too far apart.
The words "Wang's Eye" made people want to stop, and Wang Wenhong finished reading the name in one go.
On the last page, the president's blindfold falls to the ground, and his left eye, which has been covered, finally opens.
There are no pupils on the eyeballs, just a devouring snake and a six-pointed star.
"Body-eating snakes? The president can't be an android too, right? Wang Wenhong lost his voice and said, "Wait...... That's where it gets interesting. ”
Normally, the author needs to discuss the plot with the editor-in-charge, but Shen Xin can handle the plot by himself, so he doesn't let Wang Wenhong get involved, or if Wang Wenhong is nosy, he will have a headache.
"After doing so many settings, you have to unfold slowly." Shen Xin chuckled, "The overall results of "Steel Forge" ...... It would be nice, I guess. ”
"I'll believe you this time." The corners of Wang Wenhong's mouth curled, and a thick smile appeared on his face.
Wang Wenhong walked downstairs to get the original manuscript of Chapter 46, and just after leaving the studio, Xi Muhan pushed open the door with a relaxed expression.
After greeting Gao Hang and the others, Xi Muhan went directly to the second floor and sat in front of his workbench.
"How's it going?"
"I didn't sign any more." Xi Muhan shook his head.
"Are you really willing?"
"What's so reluctant about this? The money I earned is enough for me, and I want to relax a little now, enrich myself, and think about the future by the way. By the way, Brother Xin, I will post articles on the Internet in the future, what do you think? ”
Shen Xin stopped his pen and looked at Xi Muhan incredulously, "How can you have such an idea?" ”
"I was thinking that sooner or later the Internet would become mainstream, and there were other authors who started to create online, and I wanted to give it a try."
"Do you want to know what I think?" Shen Xin's expression was solemn.
"Hmm." Xi Muhan nodded.
"Nope." Shen Xin's gaze fell on the pen screen again, "I'd rather you continue to write like "National Journey" than you publish your works on the Internet." ”
"Why?" Xi Muhan hurriedly asked.
"Troll...... You can't imagine how powerful the trolls on the Internet are. Shen Xin didn't look at Xi Muhan, "The decision is in your hands, but I don't want you to get hurt." ”
On Earth, there are many online authors who have been sprayed with self-isolation and then chose to give up.
Xi Muhan's mouth opened slightly and looked at Shen Xin.
"Don't believe me?" Shen Xin didn't hear Xi Muhan's voice, so he stopped his pen and glanced at Xi Muhan, but saw that she was puzzled.
"Well, somewhat." Xi Muhan was a little unconvinced.
Shen Xin nodded, "I respect your decision." ”
"Thank you, Brother Xin." Xi Muhan narrowed his eyes.
Shen Xin smiled helplessly, everything must be tried before he can have a feeling.
Online Literature ...... It sounds simple enough for anyone to mix in a bite, but when you really walk down this path, you find that this bite of rice is not easy to eat.
