Two days later, Xi Muhan took the high-speed train back to Yanjing and left Hongchuan.

Shen Xin was the only one left in the studio again, but he didn't feel the slightest loneliness.

While consulting materials related to alchemy, he also used the pen screen to organize the concept and setting of "Steel Forge".

Shen Xin is busy every day.

However, through the practice of the past few days, Shen Xin also has a more intuitive understanding of the pen screen.

When drawing, the smoothness of the lines and the pressure sensation formed when the pen is in contact with the screen are not bad.

Since the size of the pen display is 22 inches, it is easier for him to work with details than on paper, not to mention, he can also use the touch screen to reduce and enlarge parts of the picture, and then draw.

However, pen displays don't all bring benefits.

Since the screen is glass, the damping of the nib and the screen is very small, and the control of the lines becomes very difficult.

In addition, the reason why manga artists use G pens is that they can draw lines of different thicknesses by controlling the strength of their fingers, and the emotions of the characters can be expressed through the changes in the lines. The screen of the pen display is relatively hard, and it is difficult for cartoonists to control the force and change the thickness of the lines.

In short, it will take a while for Shen Xin to get used to the pen display.

Now, what Shen Xin lacks most is time, the system and setting of "Steel Refining" itself are relatively complex, and it is very time-consuming to sort out, plus it is necessary to consult information, so the progress of the work is not fast.

In his free time, Shen Xin also contacted Gao Hang.

"When am I going to pass?" As soon as the little fat man heard Shen Xin's voice, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Wait a few days, shall you? The studio is completely different from before, and I hope you can adapt to it. Shen Xin said with a smile.

Not the same?

Gao Hang was confused, and he didn't know what Shen Xin's "different" meant by "different".

"Just wait two days, don't worry." Shen Xin comforted.

He regrets it now, if he had bought two more pen displays in District 11 at that time, it would not have been that Gao Hang would have no machines available.

After dinner, Shen Xin returned to the studio, did a set of non-standard gymnastics, stretched his muscles, and then returned to the workbench, picked up the pressure pen, and prepared to continue to sort out the system and settings of "Steel Chain".

I had just made two strokes, and the phone on the table lit up the screen.

He glanced at it roughly, it was Wang Wenhong's call.

"Hey, Brother Wang. What's wrong? Shen Xin stopped his pen and connected the phone.

"Where are you now?"

"Studio."

"Wait for me...... The editor-in-chief and I are now in the community. ”

Well? The editor-in-chief is also here?

Without thinking about it, Shen Xin guessed the reason why Shang Haozhi came over.

Next, it is a game between the two sides, and you must cheer up.

Shen Xin got up and came to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, the whole person was in a lot of energy, and just returned to his seat and drew two more strokes, the doorbell downstairs rang.

Opening the door, Shang Haozhi stood behind the door, exhausted, with two black eye bags under his eyelids, it seems that he should not have had a good rest in the past few days.

Wang Wenhong in the back winked at Shen Xin, but his face showed nervousness.

He believes that Shen Xin will eventually sign the contract, but until the contract is finalized, there are still variables.

Shen Xin smiled, "Mr. Shang, you've been busy lately, right?" ”

"I'm not busy, I'm not busy at all, there are fewer authors, and the magazine is a little more leisurely." Shang Haozhi said curiously.

In two more words, "Killer Diary" is over, and "ComicFuture" is equivalent to missing two arms, but the person concerned, Shen Xin, is not in a hurry.

Shang Haozhi is bitter in his heart.

"Yes."

Shang Haozhi didn't expect Shen Xin to nod his head very seriously, and said something that made him almost go berserk.

"Otherwise, you won't have time to come to me."

Isn't it all because you don't give it your strength?

Shang Haozhi has a black line.

Wang Wenhong pinched his thighs very much, so he didn't laugh.

This kid is usually silent, and he is not ambiguous at all.

The relationship between the three of them is not bad, so they can joke with each other like this.

If the relationship is stiff, I'm afraid it's "more than half a sentence without speculation".

Shen Xin let the two people into the house and closed the door casually.

Shang Haozhi glanced at the assistant's workbench and was a little surprised, "Mr. Shen, the assistants are all using computers." ”

"Keeping pace with the times, cartoonists should also enjoy the benefits brought by technology." Shen Xin said with a smile.

"You're a little late to enjoy this benefit, and other cartoonists have already enjoyed it for a few years."

"I couldn't afford it at the time. Mr. Shang, are we talking on the first floor, or on the second floor? ”

"Isn't your place of work on the second floor? Let's go up and say. Shang Haozhi stepped on the stairs and walked towards the second floor, "Listen to Xiao Wang, your next comic is going to be set in a different world?" ”

"Hmm."

"How's the new work going?"

"I'm looking for information and constructing a 'different world', so the time to submit the name may be delayed."

Shang Haozhi suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Shen Xin who was writing diagonally, "Late?" ”

"It starts in three months, and it could be longer." Shen Xin explained.

"Three months? Still 'getting started'? Shang Haozhi was angry, "Why don't you say a year?" ”

"A year? That's even better. Shen Xin nodded.

“……”

Before meeting Shen Xin, Shang Haozhi just felt tired, but now he feels bad.

"Are you a monkey? I set up a 'pole' and you climb up? Even if you resist? People must have the spirit of resistance. ”

Shen Xin looked innocent, "Mr. Shang, do you think I'm joking?" I'm serious. ”

"Then I'd like to hear what your reasons are."

Ascending to the second floor, Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong sat on the sofa, while Shen Xin took out three cans of coffee from the drawer of the workbench and gave one bottle each.

"I know that you came to me for the contract, so I won't take a step and directly put forward my conditions."

"Last year, I was waiting for you to say that." Shang Haozhi opened the coffee and took a sip, "Say it earlier, it's fine." ”

"First of all, I have the power to decide the length of the manga, which is the same as the previous one."

"Okay." Shang Haozhi nodded.

Since there is a first time, Shang Haozhi doesn't care that there is a second time.

"Second, I have to nod the animation of the new work to which animation company produces it. Rest assured, I'm not doing this for any gain, but to guarantee the quality of the animation.

No matter what you say, "Steel FA" is also an animation with zero negative reviews, and Shen Xin will definitely not allow the reason to reduce the quality of this animation.

Shang Haozhi frowned, his expression solemn, "Is it necessary?" The company is very interested in signature comics, isn't "Chess Soul" jointly produced by Long Yao and Orochi? ”

"I'm sorry, this time Long Yao can't. At least the level of オロチ. ”

Long Yao is already the best animation company in China, and Shen Xin's implication is that all the animation production companies in China will be passed.

"It's very difficult." Shang Haozhi looked at Shen Xin seriously.

"I know that if I can't find the right company for a new work, I'd rather not make anime." Shen Xin said seriously, "Of course, correspondingly, I will make concessions on the copyright fee." ”
