Wang Wenhong raised his eyebrows slightly, from his point of view, this comic is okay, if this comic is passed, it will not be too much of a problem.

Yan Fei directly denied it...... Are the requirements too strict?

Wang Wenhong glanced at Zuo Yuan, his expression also showed surprise, and after his face changed slightly, he took a deep breath, "Teacher Yan, what are the shortcomings of this name, please tell me." ”

"The story is very flat, and it is mainly progressed by the small things that happened at school, which shows that you should have thought carefully about the school things, but there is one thing, a good manga must have a highlight or selling point.

"The light style of this comic is also a selling point, but you have to be clear that more than one comic in Huaxia has such a style. Jumping out of the three major magazines, there should be a lot of comics in this style. ”

"Yes, it's not impossible for you to choose this kind of comic, but I always feel that you are not ready." Wang Wenhong also interjected.

Yan Fei turned her head and glared at Wang Wenhong with cold eyes.

Wang Wenhong knew that Yan Fei was dissatisfied, so he immediately raised his hands, turned around helplessly, and prepared to leave.

"Wait...... This teacher, I would like to ask, why do you say that? Zuo Yuan hurriedly stood up and stopped Wang Wenhong.

"On the main line." Wang Wenhong reminded, "She is your editor, let her speak." ”

Zuo Yuan looked at Yan Fei with a puzzled expression.

Yan Fei held her cheeks angrily, pondered for a while, and then explained: "What he means is that this comic has no main line. ”

"Huh?" Zuo Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Even if there is no main line, I can draw ...... well."

"That's not what he meant. Comics without a main line are actually very difficult to create. Long comics, even longer ones, will have a main line! The role of the main line, in fact, is obvious, is to give readers expectations, and by the way, tell readers that the plot will be very exciting, so that readers can follow the comics and read them.

"However, there is no main line in the daily comics, it is basically composed of a story, and each story is relatively independent, even if you miss one or even several issues, and then continue to read the comics, you still won't feel that there is anything missing. This is the first feature of everyday comics.

"The second characteristic is the creation. That's the problem he just mentioned. The creation of everyday manga is very difficult. ”

Seeing the puzzlement on Zuo Yuan's face, Yan Fei sighed.

In terms of long-form serialization, Zuo Yuan still has too little experience.

"In order for a long-form comic to be attractive, it must have a wonderful plot, so that readers can feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the comic characters, that is, it can mobilize the emotions of readers. However, the daily comic plot is light, and it doesn't have an advantage in mobilizing emotions, and if you want to get good results, you have to put a lot of effort into the name. ”

Zuo Yuan looked at the name placed on the table, a little disheartened.

I thought it was my own proud work, but I didn't expect it to be full of loopholes.

Yan Fei saw Zuo Yuan's lost look and knew that the beating was almost over, so she coughed lightly, "However, it's not that there is no chance of remedy." ”

"Yes...... Have it? Zuo Yuan looked at Yan Fei in surprise.

"How could it not be? Comics of any kind of theme have the potential to be popular. Is Go a niche? Isn't there still a comic with excellent results like "Chess Soul"? Daily orientation is also a common theme, and the difficulty of creation is far less than that of "Chess Soul". If you don't have a main line to attract the audience, then you can use other methods, and this is what I call the 'selling point of comics'. The story can take place in a strange place, and the protagonist can be different, it may be Superman, or it may not even be human.

"Secondly, there is more than one way to mobilize emotions. It can be warm and make the reader feel peaceful, but it can also be humorous and funny, and when the reader sees such a plot, he can laugh it. Use a 20 or 40 page story to engage the reader.

"Any subject matter can attract readers, but you must be careful to find the highlights of the story." Yan Fei said seriously.

Zuo Yuan suddenly brightened, and his eyes fell on the table again.

"By the way, let me remind you once again that you must submit the final version of the name next week. Next, in two weeks, I drew more than 30 pages of the original manuscript. Otherwise, you won't be able to catch up with the Chinese New Year Cup. If you can, see if you can put aside the work of the bookstore for a while, otherwise it will be too late. Yan Fei reminded.

"I will, thank you." Zuo Yuan took a deep breath, and his face finally became rosy.

After Yan Fei's guidance, Zuo Yuan's thinking became clear.

After sending Zuo Yuan away, Yan Fei turned around and returned to the editorial office, Xu Jie looked at Yan Fei in surprise, "Xiao Yan, what did you say to him, he seemed to be very happy." ”

"Words of encouragement, of course. Also, let him know why this work doesn't work. Yan Fei explained.

"That's what I told him before, why haven't I seen him so happy?" Xu Jie was puzzled.

"Then you told him, how to solve the problem?" Yan Fei asked rhetorically.

"Definitely said ......"

"That's that you didn't analyze it thoroughly enough!"

“……”

Xu Jie regretted it a little, what did he have to explain to her? Anyway, she has a reason.

At this time, a landline bell suddenly rang in the editorial office.

The people in the editorial department looked left and right, Shang Haozhi sighed, and muttered to himself, "It's those product companies asking about "Steel Forge" again......

The editors were somewhat sympathetic to Shang Haozhi.

"Hey ......"

"Come up."

The person who spoke was Bao Jiyi.

Shang Haozhi was stunned, "Oh, I know." ”

Others were confused and didn't look like that.

Shang Haozhi didn't quite understand what Bao Jiyi meant, so he left the editorial office full of doubts and came to Bao Jiyi's office.

After pushing open the door, he glanced inside the room, Bao Jiyi was sitting on the sofa on one side, and opposite him was sitting Long Tian, the general manager of Long Yao Animation.

Why is Long Tian here?

Shang Haozhi was confused, turned around and closed the door, walked quickly to Bao Jiyi's side, nodded to Long Tian, said hello, and looked at Bao Jiyi puzzled, "Dong Bao, what's the matter?" ”

"Sit down and talk." Bao Jiyi pointed to the couch on one side, and after Shang Haozhi sat down, he cut his hair again, "How is the recent sales of "Steel Refining"? ”

"Okay, 600,000 copies sold, there's one week left in the month. By the time November comes, the 14th volume of "Steel Refining" will be released, and it is estimated that the total monthly sales of "Steel Refining" should exceed 1.5 million copies. ”

"Sure enough, a work like "Steel", as long as the animation is launched, it will definitely be able to become a hit!" Long Tian answered.

"Huh?"

The level of animation of "Steel" can't be made by any company, right?

Shang Haozhi said suspiciously.
