Chapter 396: Doujin Manga Artist

It is not difficult for anyone with solid basic skills to imitate the style of a cartoonist, so it is normal for Shen Xin's painting style to be imitated, especially when painting "Y's", Shen Xin is more inclined to realism, and his style is not fixed.

If you want to imitate Shen Xin's current painting style, it is estimated that it will be difficult.

"Is there a fanshi he drew on the Internet now?" Wang Wenhong said curiously.

"At that time, he was still selling doujinshi at the same exhibition, and I guess there was no one on the Internet." The rookie editor shook his head.

"That's a shame."

Yan Fei sighed, she really wanted to see what level of this fanfic manga artist's drawing skills was.

"What's his name?" Wang Wenhong asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, I just know that his screen name is 'Spiral'." The newcomer editor said, wrote these two words on a sticky note, and handed them to Wang Wenhong.

"Spiral?" Wang Wenhong frowned, he had no impression of such a painter at all.

"Does he still paint?" Wang Wenhong asked rhetorically.

"Then I don't know. The same author is updated very quickly.,If there's a same author who can draw it.,Even if it's a book cartoonist.,It's definitely going to debut.。 If you don't make a name for yourself, then you have to look for a job, right? After all, fanfiction manga artists have a small income, and it is impossible to draw fanjins for a lifetime. ”

This is true.

"However, if his painting skills are really so good, he shouldn't be obscure."

"It should be a rich second generation or something, right? If you don't work hard to draw manga, you will be forced to inherit the family property. Despite his very hard work, he was caught back. Jian Xiaomei smiled.

"Isn't it fun to skin it?" Wang Wenhong asked rhetorically.

"Interesting." Jian Xiaomei read a joke on the Internet two days ago, and it is quite appropriate to use it here.

“……”

"Brother Wang, I bought that fanshi." The rookie editor raised his hand.

"Huh? Ever bought? When will I take a look at it? Wang Wenhong said expectantly.

"Uh......" The rookie editor scratched his head, "I moved some time ago, I don't know if it was sold?" ”

“……”

What do you say without it?

Wang Wenhong shook his head, the newcomer is still unreliable.

In the entire editorial department, only Xu Jie did not make a sound, he held the signature pen, clasped his hands, and looked nervous.

"Brother Xu, can't you put your mind at ease?"

Wang Wenhong and Xu Jie's desks are next to each other, and the relationship between the two is usually not bad.

"I'd like to, but I'm still nervous right now that I'm in a serialization meeting." Xu Jie said nervously.

For cartoonists, the serialization conference is like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, whether it can soar into the sky, all in just a few hours.

With serialization, you can get a contract from a magazine, have a contract money, and also have an income from manuscript fees. If the results are good, you can also sell a single book.

Then, you can live on royalties later.

This should be the dream of all cartoonists.

And for editors, serialization meetings are not as important as cartoonists, but they are also nervous.

It's like a student waiting for a test result, and the nerves are tense until the final results come in.

"Don't worry......" Wang Wenhong glanced back at the editor-in-chief of the meeting and others, "Today, only Mr. Shi Yan's works will be serialized, so Mr. Zuo has a chance." ”

"I hope so." Xu Jie bowed slightly.

The process of the serialization meeting is to first determine the serialized works, and then finalize the works according to the serialized works.

That being said, there is a limit to the number of serialized works, generally no more than four. If there are more than four, a second round of selection and review will be conducted.

Now except for one of Shi Yan's comics, the other comics can't be determined.

Shang Haozhi opened the name of Shi Yan's new work and took a quick look.

The style is still a funny type, and it is also very targeted, that is, children under the age of 13, the characters are exaggerated, and the picture is simple, but it can make people laugh.

The new work is based on the theme of the restaurant, and the title of the book is "Otherworldly Restaurant", which is a otherworldly stream.

The protagonist is a very good cook, but he is a little chef who cares about money, and opens a restaurant next to Warcraft Valley, and the price of each dish is very high.

The people who come to this restaurant are adventurers who have come back from hunting. After ordering, you can either pay with silver coins or replace it with rare ingredients.

Since someone pays, there is naturally someone who pays on credit.

As a result, people who have no money to pay off their debts act as waiters in restaurants, such as elves, mages, warriors, etc.

"Everyone has read the whole comic, is there anything you need to say?" Shang Haozhi's gaze swept over the faces of the others and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Shi's work is as interesting as ever, and this time it is the same. With a different world as the background, I think it's worth considering whether we can reproduce the original results. However, I am optimistic about Mr. Shi's control of the plot and look forward to good results in this work. Li Junwen said.

"I also think it's okay, Mr. Shi's strength is not to say, and he is good at drawing funny comics. However, I disagree with Team Leader Li on one point. Under the leadership of "Steel Refining", a gust of otherworldly wind has gradually blown in China, and other magazines have also begun to look for breakthroughs in otherworldly themes. Therefore, I think "Otherworldly Restaurant" may be another blockbuster. Jia Hui flipped through the name and said his opinion.

It is said that serialization depends on the quality of the work, in fact, the old author also has the advantage of the old author.

Some new writers question why veteran authors can not only be favored by magazines, but also publicize and promote far more than them.

In fact, empathy, it is not difficult to understand.

First of all, the old author is popular among the readers, and after the release of the single book, the sales will be guaranteed.

Secondly, the old author is able to cope with unexpected situations because of his experience in writing long novels. Comic creation is not a 100-meter race, but a marathon, and new authors may not be able to guarantee the stability of the quality of their works due to unstable mentality, lack of experience and other reasons.

Sometimes, if the author's mentality is wrong and he fails to adjust it in time, the story is likely to jump to the bottom.

Shi Yan is an accomplished veteran author, who has won the "Best Long-Form Comic of the Year Award", and is the most popular cartoonist except for Wang Yunze, Shen Xin, and Ye Hexu.

Hook breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, when Mr. Shi was drawing this work, he deliberately bought a large number of food books, in order to bring readers a sense of reality. ”

"Since it's another world. There will definitely be creatures that don't exist in reality, and different creatures, such as griffins and dragons, will certainly not be able to cook with ordinary kitchen utensils. Shang Haozhi touched his beard.

"Editor-in-chief, Mr. Shi didn't plan to draw these...... He just wanted to draw a funny comic. Hook was embarrassed.

"Oh...... I didn't let him draw either, I just said, leave a way out for the setting. If it doesn't cover it, don't talk about it first, and the reader doesn't know. If you can use it, there will be no contradictions in the setting, and in case the results decline, there will be a killer feature. After all, a comic will take years to draw, and no one can say what will happen next. Shang Haozhi explained.

Hook bowed slightly, this is true, don't dig a hole for yourself.
