Chapter 5: Inexperienced and Romance Comics

The manga artist's drawing style and the style of the story actually complement each other.

For example, Gui Zhenghe's painting style is delicate and realistic, and the girl's demeanor and posture can be regarded as nuanced. Even if he himself wants to draw comics of bloody fighting, but because of his delicate and realistic painting style, he still gets twice the result with half the effort when drawing love comics.

Shen Xin's style also tends to be realistic, which is certainly not his original intention, but is forced by the pressure of life.

After the death of a loved one, the host must find a way to earn money. Because it's not good at making up stories, and the storyboard is a mess, it can only attract attention from the style of painting.

What kind of art style is most appealing to readers? Meat!

An ordinary comic, after adding the element of "meat", it is easy to produce results.

For this reason, the host deliberately bought more than a dozen half-price magazines, "Pink Circle" - similar to Earth's "XX Childe".

Spending this money made him feel distressed for a long time.

After all, there really isn't much money left by my parents and sister.

After a year of practice, the host's painting style gradually matured, but now Shen Xin doesn't like this style of painting.

In the final analysis, this style can only allow him to draw best-selling comics or classic comics, but he can't draw royal comics, and he can't maximize the potential of a cartoonist.

Thankfully, he still has a manga capsule, and in retrospect, that "100% drawing learning bonus" is indeed ...... It's so powerful, as long as he spends a certain amount of time, he should be able to imitate the style of some comic book masters on Earth.

Of course, these things can be pushed back. The most urgent thing he needs to do now is to draw the name of the love comic.

This is simply torment for Shen Xin, who died in the previous life and has no experience in love in the present life.

Of course, some people may say that the most important ability of a creator is imagination, just like Eiichiro Oda didn't eat a Devil Fruit when he drew "One Piece", so he didn't draw a popular manga?

The problem cannot be considered that way.

No one in the world has ever eaten a Devil Fruit, but most of them have been in love!

The atmosphere generated by love is still quite intuitive in the work.

As a last resort, Shen Xin asked Xi Muhan "What is love"?

Xi Muhan blushed and shook his head again and again.

She's only fifteen years old now, and she's still ...... Didn't think about any of that.

Shen Xin asked Yang Bo of the Manyan Club again, and Yang Bo's answer made him speechless.

"Soft and elastic."

Ahh You bastard have read too much of the book, right?

After pondering again and again, Shen Xin could only bite the bullet, imitate the comics he had read, and draw the name.

It happened in a certain high school, a certain introverted boy, who fell in love with a certain girl, but because of his personality, he didn't express it for a long time.

After the high school graduation trip, everyone will soon have to go their separate ways, and the boys muster up the courage to confess to the girls on this trip.

With the help of his friends, the boy has the opportunity to be alone with the girl, but after returning from buying a drink, he finds that the heroine is not waiting for him in the place where he is separated.

The boy searched all the way and eventually found the girl in a nearby grove, but the girl confessed to another boy......

At the end of the story, the hero and heroine are not able to get together - this is a grudge from a single dog.

Shen Xin spent a whole day drawing the name of the story, and Xi Muhan, who came home from school, was fortunate to become the first reader.

"How?" Shen Xin looked at Xi Muhan with expectant eyes.

"Hmm...... Overall good, but it doesn't look perfect. After reading the name carefully, Xi Muhan gave an evaluation.

Really......

"But that's the reality, not everything is perfect, and being rejected by your crush is part of life." Shen Xin spread out his hands and prepared to start preaching.

"Brother Xin, you misunderstood. When I say imperfection, I build on this story, and this story is too taken for granted and has no waves. Xi Muhan said seriously.

Hit the nail on the head!

Before the crossing, some readers commented on his novels.

"For example......" Shen Xin was like a studious student at this moment, looking forward to Xi Muhan's explanation.

"The girl accepts the boy's courtship, in fact, the girl has always liked the man's ......"

"This story is not as good as mine." Shen Xin immediately gave an evaluation.

"I'm not done yet - at the graduation ceremony, the girl suddenly fainted and was taken to the hospital, only to be told that she was terminally ill. The boy accompanied the girl on the last journey. What do you think? There are twists and turns, right? Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin expectantly.

“…… The plot is bloody, have you watched too many Korean dramas? Shen Xin looked at Xi Muhan angrily.

"I haven't seen it, but my classmates have been babbling in my ear...... Brother Xin, you know so well, do you often watch it? Xi Muhan asked curiously.

Hehe...... If I draw like this, name will be killed.

However, Xi Muhan's words reminded Shen Xin that short comics must have "starting and ending", and the name still has to be changed.

No...... It's going to be overhauled.

Shen Xin returned to the studio again, put the name on the drawing board, pulled out a dozen blank papers, and redrew the name.

In the past two days, Shen Xin has put all his energy on name. If it weren't for Xi Muhan taking the time to cook two meals for him, it is estimated that Shen Xin would have to spend all day with instant noodles.

Classmates in college also felt that Shen Xin had been mysterious in the past two days, and he hadn't seen anyone all day.

Shen Xin didn't care about this, he had to come up with the best name in the shortest possible time, on the one hand, to seize this opportunity, and on the other hand, to fight back against Wang Wenhong.

After two busy days, the final version of the name was finally drawn, and Shen Xin didn't bother to rest, and after checking that it was correct, he put the name in the file bag.

The editorial office of Weekly New World is located on the 33rd and 34th floors of the Hua Mao Building in the heart of the city.

Shen Xin came directly to the front desk on the 33rd floor to explain his intentions.

"Do you have an appointment?" The front desk lady asked politely.

"Yes."

Before coming, Shen Xin communicated with Yan Fei.

"Wait a minute." The front desk picked up the phone, said a few words to the editorial department, and then said to Shen Xin, "Please register first, and then enter through the left passage, the end is the reception room, Yan Bian will go over later." ”

After Shen Xin registered, he walked into the corridor on the left.

The hallway is surrounded by a wall on one side and frosted glass on the other, and people can barely be seen. There are a lot of posters on both sides, some of the comics are slightly famous, and most of them are not very famous.

This is also a matter of no choice, "Weekly New World" is a first-line magazine in Yunhai City, but in the whole country, it can only be ranked in the third line, compared with the top "Weekly Comic Future" single volume of 5 million, the gap is not ordinarily large, therefore, the reputation of the pillar of "Weekly New World" in China is not as good as the medium-level comics of "Weekly Comic Future".

Shen Xin just walked to the door, and before he could knock on the door, a girl with a ball head just came out, and saw Shen Xin stunned, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Looking for Yan Bian." Shen Xin said.

"Oh, you're Shen Xin? Wait a minute, you will wait in the living room now, I'll go and call her for you. "Maruko Head" said, pointing to the small compartment on one side.

Shen Xin was confused, he seemed to have never been here, right? How does anyone know his name? And listening to the meaning of "Maruko Head", she seems to have heard of him a long time ago.

couldn't figure out the reason, so Shen Xin could only find a seat to sit down first.

The so-called living room is just a small cubicle separated by a frosted glass wall, and the space is not large, only a round table and two chairs can be placed.

The main purpose of this compartment is to facilitate the discussion of names between editors and cartoonists.

Shen Xin put the document on the table, and as soon as it was done, Yan Fei walked into the compartment with two paper cups, and put one of the paper cups in front of Shen Xin, and the strong smell of coffee came to his face.

"Okay, let me take a look at your name, shall we?" After Yan Fei sat down, Zhengse said.
