In November, Hongchuan has gradually cooled.

It's obviously a scorching sun, but the temperature never rises.

After the end of "DN", the comic market in China fell into a "scuffle".

In the battle for the top of the small book list of "Comic Future", "Ding Shi" and "Demon Dao" fell into a dead pinch.

Shen Xin suggested to Xi Muhan and Lu Ning, asking the protagonist to change the recipe and change the taste of the food from the subtleties.

The two men heeded the advice and made changes not only to the protagonist's recipe, but also to the opponent's recipe, and to improve the flow of the story.

In the food manga competition, there is an unwritten rule that the contestant who serves the dish first must lose.

The reason why it is unwritten is because sometimes it is not necessarily the first to win and the first to lose.

Xi Muhan and Lu Ning made the most of this in a drawing food competition.

When the reader thinks that the protagonist has lost, the plot will be reversed, and the protagonist who strikes later wins the game by a narrow margin.

Seeing this, the reader is as comfortable as drinking a cold Coke on a scorching summer day.

Shen Xin also saw this.

The reason for this effect is that the rhythm of "Ding Shi" is very good, that is to say, this plot successfully mobilizes the emotions of readers, gives readers a sense of anticipation, and makes readers excited.

The person who gives this sense of expectation is none other than Xi Muhan. And Lu Ning, to be honest, did not reach the best state in the handling of storyboards.

Pay attention to the tone and frustration, the story must have ups and downs, and the same is true for comics. As a painter, Lu Ning's control of the storyboard is still lacking.

The storyboard of the animation comes from the movie.

Osamu Tezuka, the father of manga, was working on Shinho. Island", the combination of lens language and sound was introduced, and the prototype of the comic was born.

After so many years of development, the storyboard of comics has developed greatly, and the use of storyboards by cartoonists also occupies a great proportion in the creation of comics.

Through words, the ups and downs of the plot are expressed, and the cartoonist uses storyboards to do this.

For example, if the author wants to make the reader feel the excitement or anger of the character, he should use large grids, the most typical representative of which is full pages and spreads. The small grid is usually the accumulation of transitions or emotions, and the rhythm of the story is usually relatively low.

If you use it too much, it will make the reader feel tired because of the excitement for a long time, and if you use it less, the appeal of the story cannot be expressed.

Therefore, how to make the storyboard and express the emotions of the story through the picture is also what cartoonists need to master.

It's not that Lu Ning is not doing well, but because "Ding Shi" is currently the top comic in China, Lu Ning's storyboard did not achieve the desired effect.

For this reason, after the sample of "Comic Future" was published, Shen Xin would explain the storyboard of "Ding Food" to Lu Ning, and at this time, Lu Ning did not look like a best-selling comic at all, but more like a student, listening to Shen Xin's explanation meticulously.

"It seems that after the end of "Ding Shi", I will also start practicing storyboarding."

This is Lu Ning's often emotion.

The plot of "Demon Dao" is also very burning, and the protagonist is challenging the strongest of the eight demons.

Judging from the length of the manga, it is impossible for the Demon King to fight against the protagonist, otherwise, the length of "Demon Road" will be affected.

"DN" has ended, "Ding Shi" is about to end, and "Comic Future" can only rely on "Demon Road".

Even if "Comic Future" promised Ye Hexu that it would not limit the length of "Demon Dao", it is impossible to let it end now.

If nothing else, this big plot of "Demon Road" should be about to end.

The battle between "Ding Shi" and the demon road will end with the victory of "Ding Shi".

Whether it is against Xi Muhan or Lu Ning, this hard battle will make them grow a lot.

……

After entering November, there are mainly two things related to Shen Xin.

First, all the original manuscripts of "Y's" have been drawn, and he still holds the original manuscript of three words in his hand, which will be published one by one on Duoman.com for a certain period of time in the future.

Second, the first film of "DN" will also be put on the screen, and Fengshuo Media has also carried out large-scale publicity across the country.

For this reason, Shen Xin asked for a private room in a time-honored restaurant in Hongchuan, and gathered all the people related to these two things, including Yan Fei.

It was Ji Yinxuan who came uninvited, which surprised Shen Xin.

As the host, Shen Xin also showed the corresponding etiquette and left the seat at the top to Ji Yinxuan.

Ji Yinxuan didn't say it in her mouth, but she enjoyed it very much in her heart.

The banquet was divided into two tables, one table was five assistants, and the other table was Shen Xin, Ji Yinxuan, Su Han and others.

After everyone was full of drinks, Shen Xin rarely picked up the wine glass, came to the assistant's table, and said to Gao Hang and a few people: "Thank you for your help to me in the past few years." Now I declare that from tomorrow onwards, you will not have to come again. I might take a year or two off, and during that time, every month, I would pay you the full amount. It's equivalent to a paid break for everyone. ”

The relationship between the cartoonist and the assistant is very close. The run-in between assistants and cartoonists, and the tacit understanding between assistants, all take a certain amount of time to cultivate.

When a manga artist finishes creating a manga and wants to continue to hire the original assistant in the next work, he usually pays a certain retention fee for the assistant.

And Shen Xin pays the full honorarium every month, which is really rare, and it also makes every assistant overjoyed.

"Teacher Shen, Liu Rui and I will follow you." Gao Hang touched his nose and said excitedly.

"Teacher, I will always follow you!" Liu Ruoxing also raised his hand high.

Zhang Ziyue and Xingjian looked at each other, without saying a word, and raised their wine glasses at Shen Xin.

Such a generous cartoonist, almost nothing.

"Also, I built a building in the new town to serve as our studio for the future. At that time, each of you will be assigned a house, and when you choose to leave, when you will hand over the house keys. Now the house is still being renovated, and when we officially start construction, we will move in together. ”

There was silence in the private room, and everyone's attention was on something.

The value of a house is much more than the salary.

"Teacher, you are so good! Solved a lot of problems at once. Liu Ruoxing stood up excitedly, and Liu Rui on one side pulled Liu Ruoxing down.

"What about others watching?" Liu Rui whispered.

Liu Ruoxing stuck out his tongue and smiled awkwardly.

The assistants looked at each other, and the excitement in their hearts showed their faces unabashedly

"I have paid you the full amount of money, and I have spent so much money to find you a place to live, just for one thing. "Chess Soul", "Steel Chain" and "DN", with everyone's sweat in it, we are now also the best comic studio in China.

"To be honest, I'm feeling the pressure and it's not up to me to stay in this position in the future. So, I hope ...... No, it is a requirement, the basic skills of all of you, including people, scenery, ancient and modern Chinese or foreign backgrounds, architecture, use of color, CS, sai...... As long as it's related to the comics, I'd like to see you guys improve significantly. Everyone has to have such ambition -

"When we started serializing again, no matter who the opponent was, we had to press it down. That's the only thing I ask of you. If you think you can't do it, change people. ”

Shen Xin raised his head, drank a glass of wine, and drank it into his stomach.
