Chapter 886: Visit
When Shen Xin received Ji Yinxuan's call, he was also surprised, he had not seen snow, and the two had no contact.
Snow wanted to see him, and it was fine, and he had a few hours at most.
Illustrators and cartoonists are not a profession, but in the big picture, it doesn't hurt to meet top illustrators in the two-dimensional circle, and maybe there will be communication in the future.
About five or six minutes later, the doorbell rang, Xi Muhan opened the door, and saw Ji Yinxuan walking in front, followed by a man and a woman.
The woman looks to be in her forties and has been carefully dressed, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are already more obvious.
The man is relatively young, probably less than thirty years old, and he has some eyes.
"This is Mr. Shen's wife, Mr. Xi Muhan, the original work of "Ding Food". Kong Xian introduced.
Xi Muhan met Kong Xian at the annual meeting, but he was not impressed, but Kong Xian knew Xi Muhan better, because Xi Muhan once wrote the biography of "Steel Refining", which was published and sold by "Qichuang Library" at that time.
After Lu Yingxue heard this, she hurriedly greeted Xi Muhan.
He hadn't seen "Ding Shi", but he had heard the name.
"Mr. Xi, this is the famous Chinese illustrator Snow, who made a special trip to visit Mr. Shen."
"I heard Brother Xin say, please sit inside, I'll invite Brother Xin."
Xi Muhan let the three people into the room, and after the three of them sat down, he entered the study and told Shen Xin about Snow's coming.
"Got it."
Shen Xin put down the pen, and Xi Muhan came behind Shen Xin and pinched his shoulder twice.
"Comfortable......" Shen Xin twisted his neck.
"When will I be able to draw a name?" Xi Muhan asked.
"It's coming. I'm going to draw a short story first, ask for directions, and see which platforms are interested in the new work. Shen Xin leaned back in his chair, "I don't know if I can catch a big fish." ”
"ic Future doesn't work?"
"Absolutely. But how to say it? See if there are any other opportunities. Shen Xin stood up and stretched.
Xi Muhan smiled slightly, no matter what Shen Xin decides, she has confidence in Shen Xin.
The two of them left the study, and Ji Yinxuan had already made a pot of tea.
Lu Yingxue also stood up when she saw Shen Xin come out.
"Sit down, I'll wash my hands first."
When you use a dipping pen, you will also get ink on your hands, and although it may not be clean, it can wash away ink that has not yet solidified.
Lu Yingxue nodded hurriedly, took a deep breath, and mediated the pressure in her heart.
"Y's", "Chess Soul", "Steel Chain", "DN", these four comics cover four types of love, competition, hot blood, and evil ways, but readers who like comics, these four comics have read at least one of them.
Lu Yingxue has read all four comics and likes them all, and after these four comics, he has read the character design of "God Descent" and is completely admired.
Shen Xin's basic skills are very solid, and whether it is the line drawing of the character of "God Descent" or the vertical painting, in his opinion, it has a very high level.
If it were someone else, Lu Yingxue would definitely not be convinced, he felt that if he was in charge of the character design of "God Descent", not to mention that it was comparable to this level, but he should also have his own style.
But this person is Shen Xin, but he admires it very much. In the Chinese circle, the cartoonist's painting skills can be as solid as Shen Xin, basically not, even in the illustration circle, with the character design of "God Descent", he has already stepped into the ranks of top illustrators in China.
Therefore, Lu Yingxue was in a complicated mood when facing Shen Xin.
admiration, envy, and a hint of wanting to compete.
If the person visiting today was Ye Hexu, he really wouldn't have felt this way.
When Shen Xin came back from washing her hands, Lu Yingxue involuntarily got up again, "Teacher Shen......"
"Sit down, shall we? The three of them drink tea. Shen Xin smiled and signaled Lu Yingxue not to be nervous.
Lu Yingxue sat down and picked up the teacup.
Just now, when Shen Xin answered, he suddenly became a little nervous, as if he had met a senior or elder in the circle, but Shen Xin should be about the same age as him.
"This is supposed to be the first time I've met Snow-sensei, right?" Shen Xin said with a smile.
"Teacher Shen, my name is Lu Yingxue, don't call 'teacher' or anything, I'm Teacher Shen's junior. Just call me Yingxue. Lu Yingxue hurriedly said.
Yes?
Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had debuted too early, and in the eyes of some people, he might really be a senior.
"'There is a specialization in the art industry', so let's call you Teacher Snow, right?"
With the comic capsule, Shen Xin knows a lot of experience in drawing illustrations, but he is not a professional illustrator after all, so in terms of proficiency, he is not as good as Lu Yingxue, and there is no shortage in other aspects.
It took time for him to move from cartoonist to illustrator.
Then again, it can be done, but it's not necessary.
"That'...... Ahem, just follow Teacher Shen. Lu Yingxue touched her nose.
"By the way, how did Mr. Snow come up with the idea to come and have a look?" Shen Xin asked.
"I was talking to Mr. Ji about cooperation, and I thought that if I had the opportunity, I would draw a comic of "The Gate of Destiny Stone", but Mr. Another handed over the comic to Mr. Lu Ning, alas, I couldn't do it. Then I heard Editor-in-Chief Kong say that Mr. Shen was also here, so I thought, I have to come and see Mr. Shen no matter what. Lu Yingxue said what was in her heart.
Editor-in-Chief Kong?
Only then did Shen Xin remember that the elderly lady in front of him was Kong Xian, the editor-in-chief of "Qichuang Library", and he had met Kong Xian at the annual meeting or wedding.
I see that the copyright of "The Gate of Destiny Stone" should belong to "Qichuang Library".
However, Lu Yingxue said that if he wanted to draw the comic of "The Gate of Destiny Stone", it must be no play, no matter how good his painting is, he is not a cartoonist after all.
"You might as well try this later. However, illustration is different from manga, and even if you don't adjust your mindset, you may not be rewarded. Shen Xin reminded.
"I've drawn comics before, and the response from readers has been good." Lu Yingxue explained.
"Long?"
"Short."
"Short stories are not the same as long ones. The biggest difference between manga and illustration is that manga tells a story, and if a manga artist can use a story to engage readers, the manga artist is qualified. A lot of people have talked about this, right? ”
Lu Yingxue nodded.
"But there's one thing that a lot of people don't think about, and that's the mentality. Long-form comics can be as short as three or four years, as long as more than ten years, and every week, cartoonists are doing the same steps. Shen Xin asked rhetorically.
Lu Yingxue was dumbfounded.
He used to travel everywhere after a job. If he was confined to a room, he really didn't think about whether he would adapt to it.
