"The two of you came to me today, definitely not to visit the door, just say something." Shen Xin asked.

"Hmm. The magazine is ready to let Mr. Zhou start serialization in "New World" next month, and he can be regarded as a signed cartoonist of our magazine. Before the series, he wanted to pay a visit to you, the top cartoonist of New World. Xiaoli said roughly.

"What's the first hand and not the first hand? I'm just doing my job. In the future, let's cheer together. Shen Xin stretched out his hand to Zhou Yang.

"I didn't ...... I will learn from Mr. Shen. Draw a good-looking comic. Zhou Yang blushed and held Shen Xin's hand tightly with both hands.

There was some sweat in the palms of his hands, indicating that this kid was a little nervous.

"Well, fatty...... Fat teacher ......" Shen Xin read Zhou Yang's pen name and felt a little dramatic, "If this pen name has no special meaning to you, it's better to change it, it's too dramatic." ”

I don't know why, Shen Xin remembers this pen name, and always thinks of "dragon playing in the water".

"I've been drinking Fat Dahai for a while, and I think this pen name will make me more manly, so I chose this name, which doesn't have any special meaning. In two days, I'll come up with a new pen name. Zhou Yang hurriedly explained.

Shen Xin bowed slightly, he could understand Zhou Yang's thoughts.

In fact, many authors' pen names are given casually, but when the work becomes popular, some pen names will be very embarrassing. On Earth, there have been cases where the copyright of a work has not been sold because the author's pen name is too poor.

"That's right. Fat...... Mr. Zhou, have you found your assistant too? ”

"Not yet. Something went wrong with the name.,In the last week.,Maybe you have to redraw the name.。 Zhou Yang scratched his head.

"The first time you create a feature, you may encounter some difficulties, but when you get used to it, it will be much better. Discuss with the editor if you have anything, don't be silent, and don't make your own decisions. I think most editors still want their writers to be on their own. ”

Shen Xin thought of Chen Zijiao and didn't want Zhou Yang to repeat the mistakes of the past, so he chatted a few more words.

He didn't have much contact with other cartoonists. In addition to Ye Hexu and Chen Zijiao, Zhou Yang in front of him has a sense of freshness in his heart, and Zhou Yang's personality is also good, at least he does not reject it.

At this time, Xiaoli secretly pulled Yan Fei, Yan Fei understood, coughed, and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Teacher Shen, do you have time now? Xiaoli and I would like to talk to you about things alone. ”

"No problem." Shen Xin nodded.

Xiaoli is usually busy, so it is impossible to deliberately bring Zhou Yang to him, it should be that she has encountered some problems.

"Teacher Zhou, you and the others stay here first, and we will discuss something." Xiaoli said to Zhou Yang.

"yes, okay." Zhou Yang nodded obediently.

Shen Xin handed the CD and voice actor information to Lu Ning and asked them to listen to the voice actor's voice.

Lu Ning bowed slightly, although she didn't say much, but the smile on her face told the others that she was also interested in these voice actors.

Putting the CD and materials on the table, she took out the player from her backpack again, and Gao Hang and Zhou Yang also surrounded her.

Shen Xin and the three walked into the reception room.

poured a glass of boiling water for each of the two people, and Shen Xin also sat on the single sofa, looking at Xiaoli puzzled, "Miss Wu, what's the matter?" ”

Xiaoli coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed in her heart, but considering the purpose of this trip, she still said it hard.

"Teacher Shen, is it like this...... In fact, Zhou Yang is a rookie cartoonist who is very optimistic about the magazine, and Song Shao even wants him to reach your current level. Not long ago, Zhou Yang's editor in charge was Li Jiming. Maybe the president felt that he and Zhou Yang were not very easy to communicate, so he asked me to replace Li Jiming. I also know that it is difficult for Zhou Yang to surpass you, but the magazine has high expectations for him. As a result, I was also under a lot of pressure and was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get good grades.

"Although his name is a little new, but after careful analysis, I can clearly feel the shortcomings, and I can only find a few shortcomings. So, if possible, I'd like to ask you to help with a suggestion? Or, tell us how you went from being a rookie to becoming a professional cartoonist. ”

If it is an ordinary newcomer, it will be forgotten, but in the face of a newcomer like Zhou Yang who is taken care of, Xiaoli is always afraid that she will delay him.

Belch......

Shen Xin didn't expect Xiaoli to have this kind of problem. Indeed, it is important for newcomers to get started.

However, Shen Xin couldn't help.

It's not a question of whether he wants to help Xiaoli, but he doesn't know how newcomers can create best-selling comics.

"Y's" is based on "I"s", and the story itself is relatively complete, so he doesn't know how a rookie cartoonist should use to get the reader's approval.

Everything comes naturally and naturally. I want him to say one, two, three, four...... Aside from the experience given by the manga capsule, he really didn't know what to say.

Shen Xin fell into deep thought, and Xiaoli didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only secretly hold Yan Fei's hand.

"Can I see his name?" Shen Xin thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a good way, so he could only start with name first.

Whether a work can become popular depends partly on the author's strength and partly on luck. Even experienced editors can find it difficult to determine whether a work will sell well.

Therefore, Shen Xin could only look at the name first, and then think about whether he could make some suggestions.

Xiaoli hurriedly handed the name to Shen Xin and whispered: "I think his name is too scattered, he didn't point out the title, and the comic progressed too fast, only three words were drawn, and the protagonist participated in two fights." ”

Shen Xin quickly read the name of "Ghost Potential", pondered for a while, closed the name again, and handed it back to Xiaoli.

"You're right, this comic is advancing a bit fast. Moreover, the background is not explained clearly, and I feel a little anxious, and the content is too dry. This is the disadvantage of newcomers. ”

Xiaoli listened to Shen Xin's words, her brows furrowed, and it was really the same as she guessed.

"That'...... Is there anything that can be done to make up for it? Xiaoli hurriedly asked.

"The way ......" Shen Xin rubbed his nose, and after pondering for a while, he said an old-fashioned sentence, "Watch more and practice more." ”

"Watch more and practice more?"

Xiaoli's face twitched twice, and Yan Fei also rubbed her forehead.

These four words are simply a panacea, and they can be used anywhere.

"In addition to this, there are two ways. First, draw more short comics, on the one hand, to get the reader's approval, and on the other hand, the short story is also conducive to improving the author's ability to control the overall situation; The second is to find an original work like Chen Zijiao. Have a full experience first. This is the safest way to do it. ”

Xiaoli puffed out her cheeks, and was a little unwilling, "Mr. Shen, what kind of height do you think "Ghost Potential" can reach if it starts to be serialized?" ”

"Probably...... Chapter 40, right? If he writes at this pace, it will be over in about 40 words. ”

Shen Xin combined his own understanding, plus the experience brought by the comic capsule, to get an approximate number of chapters. But this prediction is often inaccurate, and many times, the comic collapses because of a small factor.

Chapter 40...... That is, less than a year......

Xiaoli's forehead oozed sweat.

"But these are just predictions, and if he grows up quickly, he could also become a New World signature." Shen Xin said with a chuckle.

If so, so be it.

Xiao Li pursed her mouth and sighed in her heart.

The three of them left the reception room and came to the living room.

Lu Ning wore headphones and auditioned for the CD, while Gao Hang looked intently at the voice actor information, with a lewd smile on his face, and nodded from time to time. As for Zhou Yang, he was flipping through some sketches, and he didn't even know that Xiaoli came out of the living room.

Xiaoli walked to Zhou Yang's side, glanced at the manuscript in Zhou Yang's hand, and found that it was the name before "Y's".

"Teacher Zhou, if there is nothing else, let's go back first, shall we?"

"Go back?" Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stood up, "By the way, Sister Xiaoli, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"Huh?"

"I ...... I want to be Mr. Shen's assistant! Zhou Yang rubbed his hands uneasily, with a hint of expectation on his face.
