After a week of hard waiting, Wu Xiaoli once again won the small book ranking.

It's a bit of an improvement from the last time.

13th place.

For "Xianyuan", this achievement still does not change the situation that it may be cut in half.

This time, even the late reading was not calm, he clearly felt the pressure from the waist cut - the results of this comic are not only related to him, but also have some connection with Xiao Ji, because Xiao Ji just worked as an assistant here, and he can't be unemployed just after he gets a job, right?

Wu Xiaoli knew the seriousness of the situation, took the name of "Xianyuan", ran to Shen Xin's studio, and handed the name to Yan Fei.

"My good sister, you must help me ...... this time" Wu Xiaoli folded her hands and showed a pleading look.

"Go, go, where it's cool, where to stay. This is your author, not Yan Fei's. Why should she help you see it? Wang Wenhong grinned, a picture of wanting to blast Wu Xiaoli out.

"Are you going out? The three of us are all women, and you are a big man to stay here, is it appropriate? Wu Xiaoli was not to be outdone.

"Hey, envy, right? No way, this is my office, you can't get rid of me. Wang Wenhong was triumphant.

"Then I'll tell Mr. Shen that you chat during work." Wu Xiaoli glared at Wang Wenhong fiercely.

Wang Wenhong immediately glanced at Shen Xin, but saw him painting at his desk in his office, obviously not noticing the situation here.

"Ahem, I'm not afraid of you, Xiaohan is still here?" Wang Wenhong pulled out Xi Muhan.

"Huh?"

Xi Muhan was stunned, she didn't understand why the argument between the two involved her.

There must be a reason why comics don't get results.

Take "Immortal Yuan" as an example, the poor painting work of the late reading is one reason, one is in the atmosphere of the story.

"It's too serious and the reader will be ...... It's boring.,Readers like to read comics that are more relaxed or a little more enthusiastic.,More serious comics like this.,It's a relatively slow one.。 ”

"Change the style, then?"

"You stupid, can the style of the comics change? This thing, as soon as it changes, the story collapses. Wang Wenhong said unabashedly.

Wu Xiaoli glanced at Wang Wenhong with her white eyes, but she didn't refute, she knew that what Wang Wenhong said was also the truth.

"Selling point...... At least every word has to be a selling point, right? I watch "Immortal Yuan", including the name of the latest episode...... It seems to be deliberately pressing the rhythm. Yan Fei took advantage of this time to turn over the name twice.

Yan Fei will read every issue of "Comic Future", so she is clear about the shortcomings of "Xianyuan".

The advantages of "Xianyuan" are obvious, because the late reading was originally to study history, therefore, a world with a strong sense of substitution can be constructed, but the shortcomings are also very prominent, of course, the painting is a minus, but the biggest impact on a comic has always been not the painting, but the plot - whether the reader will find it interesting.

This kind of fun doesn't have to make the reader happy, but it has to give the reader a sense of anticipation.

Xi Muhan lay on the table, holding his chin with both hands, and looked at Yan Fei and Wu Xiaoli with interest, as if the two of them were performing an interesting show.

Wang Wenhong looked at Xi Muhan, and was also a little curious, and said puzzled: "Xiaohan, you don't know much about new works recently...... It's not going to be giving up, is it? ”

"I'm looking for a bottle." Xi Muhan said with a smile.

"Huh?"

"What Brother Xin said...... Compare a work, whether it's a comic, or a bottle of wine. Different types of comics are different types of wine. Some bottles are old bottles, that is, old wine in old bottles; The other part is the use of new bottles, that is, new bottles of old wine. However, no matter what kind of wine bottle, the raw materials of the wine are similar, and the difference lies in the process of making the wine.

In other words, wine is the story of comics, including the classic scenes that often appear in comics, and the bottle is the carrier of comics, and in what form the story is presented in the reader's field of vision. Brother Xin also gave an example, "Chess Soul" and "SLAM DUNK" are two different 'bottles', one is Go and the other is basketball, but the 'wine' in it has something in common, for example, it is all based on the premise of hard work, the growth of the protagonist is accompanied by sweat, the protagonist's companions and opponents are very charming, and the healthy competition between the characters will make the reader's blood boil...... In short, everything that can be found in sports can be seen in comics.

"I've read a lot of comics, and I've seen some classic sequences and routines, but I'm missing a bottle for them. There are some signs of it, but it's not certain. Xi Muhan explained.

Wu Xiaoli's eyes widened and she looked at Xi Muhan.

"How...... What's wrong? Being stared at by Wu Xiaoli like this, Xi Muhan was a little flustered, "I'...... Is it wrong? ”

"Of course not." Wu Xiaoli shook her head, "I just thought that the problem of "Xianyuan" is in 'wine'. Because it is a 'halfway monk', many of the comics may not be understood. ”

When many people create works, they seem to want to get rid of classic bridges and routines and make their comics look different, but as everyone knows, many people's self-confident works are precisely the routines that he himself criticizes - if you don't want to draw so routines, at least you need to know what the routines are, right?

In Wu Xiaoli's view, the biggest weakness of late reading is that he has not been in contact with comics for a long time, and he has served as Wang Yunze's assistant for more than a year, so he came to create comics. Occasionally, a few wonderful short comics come out, and they are more created by instinct than skill.

Once you run out of inspiration and don't know the skills, the quality of the comics will decline.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why "Xianyuan" is in trouble.

Wu Xiaoli was overjoyed, packed up her name, and said goodbye to Yan Fei, Wang Wenhong and Xi Muhan.

"Don't want the 'bottle' from before?" Sending Wu Xiaoli away, on the way back, Wang Wenhong asked.

"It's hard to make a comic look like that." Xi Muhan shook his head, "Especially, at Brother Xin's level, it's really aggrieved to draw those cartoons." ”

"And what are you going to paint?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"Stupid, Xiaohan's attitude is so obvious now, you can't even observe it?" Yan Fei looked at Wang Wenhong coldly and pushed open the door of the studio.

Wang Wenhong followed in, and then glanced at Xi Muhan who was following him, and an idea flashed in his mind, "Hey, Xiaohan...... Didn't you think you wanted to use a cartoonist as a theme? ”

"What's wrong? So surprised? Xi Muhan was taken aback.

"It's not...... It's very difficult, no one in China will use cartoonists as the theme. Wang Wenhong scratched his head, "Who will watch?" Who are your target readers? ”

Wang Wenhong's head is big.

He felt that Xi Muhan's "wine bottle" should have been found, but what about "wine"?

If the manga can really come out, this should be "new wine in a new bottle", right?

Xi Muhan scratched his head, "Aren't I just sure?" Especially Fan Yinmo's revelation, it feels very interesting. ”

"It's interesting...... But it's really hard to operate. Wang Wenhong rubbed his forehead.

"We're both editors, and we're familiar with cartoonists. It's still a long time, and we can always come up with the right name, right? It's a big deal, isn't it okay to draw Teacher Shen's experience? Yan Fei was quite interested.

"Huh? Wouldn't it be too obvious? ”

"The creation of the work itself is taken from life and higher than life, what are you obviously afraid of?" Yan Fei was not worried, "However, this kind of cartoon should be realistic, and we have to collect more typical events." ”

"Recently, is there anything more typical than Fan Yinmo's studio incident?" Wang Wenhong asked rhetorically.

"Alas, isn't the problem now that Fan Yinmo is completely silent?" Xi Muhan sighed and said, she kind of wants to eat this melon, but she may not be able to eat it.

"Not necessarily." Wang Wenhong shook his head, "Actually, there is movement, but you haven't noticed it yet." ”
