Chapter 902 - Server ...... Pumped
To tell the truth, Ye Hexu didn't expect that Shen Xin would choose the theme of basketball, without him, the difficulty of creating this theme is really high.
There are two most basic problems to be solved in action comics, the first is the action of the characters.
Under what circumstances, what kind of reaction the athlete has, whether the movement is natural, these are very particular, and if you are not careful, the character drawn will be stiff.
The second is storyboarding.
How to reflect the speed and trajectory of basketball, what actions to do to get rid of the opponent when the offensive player faces the defender, and how the defender follows the defense, these must be reflected through the storyboard.
A good sports storyboard, such as mercury on the ground, the character's movements will have a sense of elegance, which should start from the details, such as the dynamic sense of hair, clothes and the character's movements, etc., to improve the realism of the picture, and the poor storyboard is like a stone statue carved out with a carving knife, not only the action is clumsy, but also the form is stiff.
Basketball storyboards are not something that can be done if you want to draw them well. Just like Haruka Tamakawa's "Slam Dunk", this manga has become extremely popular in District 11, but the storyboard in the game is still not good. It's like dribbling people, in his comics, he will only give the result of dribbling, how to get by, but he doesn't draw it.
Isn't Haruka Tamagawa amazing? That's the person who won the first place in the small book in "Shonen Leap", and he is also a genius cartoonist in District 11, but even he still can't draw these storyboards.
In fact, the problem of storyboarding is not unique to one cartoonist, even the top cartoonists in District 11 still can't do everything, and more people can only show their expertise in one or some aspects.
In Shen Xin's previous comics, most of the characters were relatively quiet and would not engage in his intense actions. The level at which he draws sports storyboards is only reflected in "Steel", however, "Steelcore" is a fighting comic, which is very different from sports comics like basketball.
However, just looking at this color page, Ye Hexu can see that Shen Xin's basketball cartoon is of high quality - clear muscle lines, natural character movements, real looks, in addition, the sweat of the skin is also drawn in detail, skin, jersey, hair, and even in the air. As a reader, he can clearly feel the physical exertion of the characters.
Ye Hexu pulled down the post, and the black and white pages appeared in his field of vision one after another.
He didn't bother to look at the text in the dialog, but focused all his energy on the storyboard.
More than a dozen pages passed in a flash, Ye Hexu felt that it was not enjoyable, and refreshed the webpage again, this time, he actually brushed out sixty-five pages of sketches.
Teacher Shen ...... What does he want to do? Ye Hexu said in a lost voice.
"I don't know. If these drawings were to be submitted to magazines, it would be a lot of money. ”
With Shen Xin's current value, these sixty pages of drawings can really be sold for an exaggerated price, but he has posted them all on the Internet, and it seems that it should be a complete story.
Ye Hexu didn't respond again, but quickly browsed the screen, the protagonist had a 3v3 street basketball with others, and another character from the author's wheelchair joined, and the protagonist also had a competition with the wheelchair youth.
The tension of the story is conveyed to his heart through the storyboard, and his eyes do not want to take off the screen for a moment.
Ye Hexu saw the last compartment, and sighed on his back: "There are such cartoons, black and white and color pages, is there any difference?" ”
Jian Xiaomei also sighed, and a pressure appeared in her heart.
She has also been an editor for ten years, and she thinks she has a good eye, and after reading this comic, she has a hunch that this short story is going to be swiped.
If such a manga cannot be serialized on "ic Future", it will be a pity for "ic Future".
Picking up the phone, regardless of the time, it was already late at night, so Jian Xiaomei called Yu Chen.
Yu Chen was sleeping, but was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone.
When he received Jian Xiaomei's call, his mind was still a little confused.
What short stories does Mr. Shen serialize? Don't have a name yet?
Jian Xiaomei said it word by word, Yu Chen immediately sobered up, quickly sat up, and took the pad, but found that he couldn't open the app of Manjia.com.
He took the notebook again, clicked on Manjia.com, and left only one sentence on the webpage.
"Because a large number of readers have poured in in a short period of time, it is more than the server can bear, and it is now being repaired, so please don't worry."
The server turned out to be ...... Smoked!?
Yu Chen rubbed his face, secretly saying that he was unlucky.
Although he was resentful in his heart, he was completely able to understand the collapse of the Manjia.com server.
It is a place for senior comics enthusiasts or creators to communicate, and the traffic is basically a fixed value, usually a little more or less.
Now, Shen Xin suddenly put a short story on Manjia.com, which will definitely attract a large number of comic readers in a short period of time, and the server of Manjia.com may not be able to bear it.
Yu Chen looked up to the sky and sighed.
The wife opened her wistful eyes, glanced at him, and closed them again.
"What's wrong? Sleep...... I have to go to work tomorrow. ”
"I guess I won't be able to go to work tomorrow."
Yu Chen is not stupid.
If Shen Xin really wanted to sign a contract with "ic Future", he would have signed it a long time ago, why would he wait until now?
Since he put this short story on the Internet and let everyone read it, he is actually waiting for the conditions proposed by the major platforms, which platform has the best conditions, and he will go to which platform.
Want to find a new author and balance Shen Xin?
Hehe......
It should be "balanced" now, right?
His wife opened her eyes, her eyes full of doubt, and he patted her lightly, "You sleep...... I don't think there's time to sleep tonight. ”
After getting up, Yu Chen took out his mobile phone and dialed Shang Haozhi's phone.
Since he can't sleep, then pull another person to stay up all night with him.
……
Just when the Manjia.com forum collapsed, the comic forum in District 11 also set off a climax.
The 65-page manuscript was translated into Japanese and posted on the largest forum in Area 11, and just over ten minutes later, the manga immediately became the most popular post on the forum.
Haruka Tamagawa was about to rest, but Ishizawa called and asked if he knew what Shen Zheng had been up to lately.
"I don't know, I haven't been in touch with him for a long time." Haruka Tamagawa was confused, not knowing the reason for Ishizawa's call.
"Look at the top post of the 'comic community', somehow, a short comic of Mr. Shen was sent to the forum, if you want to see it, hurry up, if it's late, the server may crash. Huaxia's Manjia.com has collapsed. ”
"Oh, but, Mr. Ishizawa, why do you care about Mr. Shen?" Haruka Tamagawa was a little surprised.
Ishizawa and Shen Xin have no intersection.
"Do you know what this short comic is about?" Ishizawa asked.
"I don't know."
"Basketball. First, some people will compare it to "Slam Dunk"; Second, it's a sports comic that coincides with your readers. Moreover, it has been a long time since the magazine has serialized two sports comics at the same time, and you want news. ”
Haruka Tamagawa instantly had a spirit.
Basketball?
I wonder what kind of basketball cartoon Mr. Shen will draw? Like "Slam Dunk", or is it better than "Slam Dunk"?
Yuchuan Yao thought of this, suddenly became nervous, immediately turned on the computer, found the "comic community", and sure enough, at the top post, he saw Shen Xin's comic.
