Long-form comics are all made up of one small plot after another.

Take the plot of "Edward tells the truth about the Philosopher's Stone to the two guards", it is indeed inappropriate to take it out alone, but it plays a role in connecting the previous and the next.

"Wouldn't it be better if it had been changed to another story, such as Armstrong's accidental detection?" Hang Jian raised his hand.

He wanted to be a professional cartoonist before, and he also considered the arrangement of the plot, so after hearing Shen Xin's explanation, he raised his doubts.

"In principle, it's fine, but the pace will be slowed down." Shen Xin explained, "No matter how 'unintentional' Abstrand is, if he has to draw a certain amount of space, then during this time, the pace of the story will tend to be flat, and it will not come as quickly as Edward inadvertently telling the secret of the 'Philosopher's Stone'." ”

Sometimes in order to speed up the pace of the plot, the author selectively ignores the logic of the story.

Some episodes (some, but not all) are perceived by the reader as the author is not thinking or even having common sense, in fact, part of the reason is that the author wants to speed up the pace of the story.

Generally speaking, the protagonist is "stepped on" and then "slapped in the face" of the villain, which is a very normal rhythm, but with some foreshadowing in advance and telling the villain's reasons for doing so, the reader will feel that the author is in the "water" article. And if you ignore the reasonableness, in order to speed up the pace, there is no such concern.

As for the network, there is a part of the reason for "reducing intelligence" for characters.

Both sides are very rational and take care of the overall situation of each other, so it will be difficult to have conflicts, and the rhythm will tend to be flat. For this reason, the protagonist will have the attribute of "magnet", and many supporting characters find fault, but are "educated" by the protagonist.

Of course, characters can also have conflicts if they don't "reduce their intelligence", but it takes time to design the plot, and the speed of updates will decrease slightly. Otherwise, if there is a detailed outline, the author can also write a logical plot based on it.

But then again, although there are plots in other types of works that are praised by readers as "mentally retarded", in reality, there may be more unthinkable events. In hindsight, it may seem incredible to the onlooker, but the reality is real.

After listening to Shen Xin's explanation, the three assistants bowed slightly.

At first listen, Shen Xin seemed to be looking for a reason for that plot, but after careful reflection, there was some truth.

"My teacher seems to have said that, and I thought he was joking, but in retrospect, he seemed right." Liu Rui scratched her head and said.

"Your teacher? Is he also a cartoonist? Shen Xin was a little surprised.

These contents are said to be difficult, and they are not difficult, but without practice, it is indeed difficult to summarize.

"It's not." Liu Rui waved her hand again and again, "You are the first full-length cartoonist I followed." The teacher I'm talking about is a teacher at a manga school, and although he is not well-known, the lectures are really good, and the students like them very much. ”

Liu Rui leaned back in her chair with a smile on her face, recalling her studies at a comic school.

Manga school, as the name suggests, is where you learn manga skills. But it is difficult for a student to learn to control the rhythm in class.

Are the current teachers so good? Not...... Maybe it's because there are books on the subject?

Shen Xin didn't pay much attention to it, took the coffee, and returned to the workbench on the second floor.

This part of the plot is like a small flaw, although some people think that Edward is not rational enough, but the plot is really smooth.

At the end of this episode, the manga also reveals the secret of the "Philosopher's Stone" - made from living people.

The small book of "Comic Future" came out, and "Steel Forged" ranked second only to "The Legend of the Dragon King", which can be regarded as proving that there is no problem with the handling of this plot.

Wang Wenhong's mind has been muddy for some time recently.

Because the magazine wants to produce electronic versions of comics, he, Yan Fei and others have to flip through 50 comics in their spare time, and they also have to write comments on each comic.

For Wang Wenhong, reading comics is a happy thing, but within a certain period of time, reading a large number of comics is not so happy.

Most of those comics, although they are famous, are really unpleasant.

After all, it's been 20 years, and the style that readers like has changed.

A newly hired editor glanced at the editor-in-chief and others who were in a meeting behind the glass door, and then yawned, "To be honest, I think if the magazine really wants to attract readers, it is better to find some young manga artists and draw some fancomics." ”

"Impossible." Jian Xiaomei said, "If the cartoonist is famous because of fan comics, then, what about the original author? ”

"The original author should be okay, right? The copyright is all here. The rookie editor said.

"What about the next one? Will the original author's next work still agree to be published here? Yan Fei asked.

"That'...... Then negotiate with the cartoonist. ”

"Look, the question is back to square one, how to compensate the original author. In fact, the officially recognized fandom has an impact on the original work, and people who don't know why, still think that the original author has re-serialized. Also,Doujin authors sometimes draw the plot that the original author wants to draw.,Resulting in the original author can't follow the original plot progression.,That's how the original work comes from.,Some authors choose to end the comic because the content they want to draw is drawn by the same author.。

In contrast, the magazine must protect the interests of the original author. After all, if there is no original, there is no fanart. Yan Fei explained.

"That's just as well."

"Another point.,The painting skills of the same people are not very solid.,The quality will be different from the original.。 Wang Wenhong explained.

"Not necessarily, for example, Chen Zijiao, his painting skills are very good." Yan Fei retorted.

“……”

Wang Wenhong was a little depressed, he had obviously forgotten about the previous events.

"I remember, it seems that Mr. Shen also drew the same people, right?" Jian Xiaomei recalled.

"Wrong. Mr. Shen really hasn't drawn it.,The comics he draws,Strictly speaking, it's a personal chronicle.,It's just sold at the same exhibition.。 Yan Fei corrected.

Wang Wenhong nodded, although he and Shen Xin "passed by", which made him depressed for a long time, Shen Xin did draw a personal chronicle at that time, because there was no original work, or Shen Xin himself was the original author.

"Speaking of Mr. Shen, I remember that there was a person who imitated Mr. Shen's works and was very famous in the circle." The rookie editor suddenly remembered this.

"Huh? "Chess Soul" ...... Or "Steel"? Wang Wenhong immediately fell into his mind.

"Brother Wang, where do you think? If there is no chess player to guide you, where can "Chess Soul" be drawn casually? "Steel" is even more impossible.,Now the setting hasn't all come out.,There's no way to create a fan.。 That person imitated "Y's", and speaking of which, it should have been several years. The rookie editor said.
