Chapter 425: Webtoon and the Hot List
Shen Xin spent half a month drawing and determined 32 sketches. It sounds like it's going slowly.
In fact, due to the normal serialization, the time that Shen Xin can use to draw sketches is extremely limited, and Shen Xin has to work overtime every day.
What's more, the original "Steel Chain" is a monthly magazine, so the page ratio of each word is inconsistent.
Some sentences can be divided into two words, one sentence is more than 20 pages, while some words are only more than 30 pages.
Fortunately, the previous manuscript was sufficient, even if the work was a little busy, it was harmless.
The production team of "God Descent", after a whole day of discussion, determined all the choices of characters.
Next, Shen Xin is going to start copying the line drawings with a transparency table and coloring the characters.
It sounds like it's going to be hard, but it's actually the most difficult to design the characters, and the coloring is only a little tedious.
Gao Hang and they also have the ability to color, but Shen Xin and Ji Yinxuan signed a contract, and it is inconvenient for others to come into contact with the original paintings, and these works can only be completed by him alone.
"It's time to eat."
The aunt came out of the kitchen and said to the crowd who were drawing.
Gao Hang stretched his waist, took a deep breath, and looked happy, "It's time to eat." ”
"Auntie, the food you cook is so delicious, I guess I'm going to get fat." Liu Rui said with a sad face.
"If you like it."
Auntie's words have a strong Hongchuan accent, at the beginning, everyone didn't understand it, after a period of contact, everyone also got used to it, not to say 100% can understand, but it's still okay to listen to seven or eighty percent.
"Brother Xin, it's time to eat." Xi Muhan closed his notebook and said to Shen Xin, who was drawing the original manuscript of "Steel Forged".
"Okay...... Hold on. ”
Shen Xin sent the drawn line draft to Gao Hang's mailbox, then stood up and went downstairs with Xi Muhan.
The other four people (including the aunt) had already sat around the table, and when Shen Xin and Xi Muhan came over, Gao Hang also put the rice in front of everyone, "Let's eat!" ”
"Eat less, it's too fat to find a daughter-in-law." Shen Xin said with a smile.
Gao Hang's face flushed, "I've lost weight." ”
"Huh?" Shen Xin looked at Gao Hang, whose cheeks were gradually rounding, and was a little surprised, "Why didn't I see it?" ”
"I lost a pound." Gao Hang said seriously.
"I'm afraid it's not one less dress, right?" Liu Rui pulled the rice into her mouth and muttered quietly.
"Where...... What's the matter? Slander! Gao Hang stiffened his neck and retorted, "It's just that I wear one less set." ”
Sensing that the others looked at him with a smile, he quickly explained, "I only weigh it when I have a full meal." ”
"......" Shen Xin took more than ten seconds before turning his head and saying to Yan Fei, "Go back and buy an electronic scale, so that Xiaohang can know his weight at any time." ”
"Huh? Teacher Shen, you are too bad! Gao Hang solemnly protested.
"That's it. It's not good to eat too fat, otherwise, if you lose weight, I'm afraid it's really Prince Charming? Shen Xin stared at Gao Hang.
Actually, in addition to being a little fat, this kid is also a problem with his height.
"Teacher Shen......" Hang Jian scooped a bowl of fish head soup for Shen Xin, "Now there seems to be a lot less discussion about "Steel Refining" on the Internet. ”
"I don't know...... However, the ranking of the small book has dropped a little. ”
Shen Xin heard Wang Wenhong mention it, and it seemed that he was surpassed by "Game".
However, he can't help it, this plot happens to be the weakest part of "Steel".
The first few words are about the Elric brothers sending Winley to the valley of Rasha, and then the two of them go to Dabris to meet their master Izmi.
The latest episode is to recall that after the death of their mother, the Ellik brothers wanted to worship Izmi as a teacher in order to resurrect their mother, but they were thrown to York Island by Izmi.
Maybe it will be better down, Shen Xin thought in his heart.
It won't be long before the artificial personality (greed) comes out, and the battle between the androids should bring a short climax.
"I remember that in the popularity of online comics, "Steel" seems to have fallen to fifth." Liu Rui said.
"Heat? List? ”
Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to hear this word.
"yes. It seems to be a ranking based on the number of searches of manga on the Internet. Liu Rui recalled.
"There's really no authority in that ranking. After all, people searching for comics are not necessarily readers, but may just be curious. No one looked at this list before, but recently, webtoon artists have gradually risen, and this list has gradually gained popularity. There are some webtoons that I have never heard of at all, and they are even higher than the signboards of some small magazines, and in the end, those signboard comics still suffer from unpopularity. Hang Jian said.
"Not necessarily. The reader's eyes are bright, and it is impossible to search for comics that you don't like to read. Liu Rui retorted.
"You're raising the bar. Some small magazine cartoons are not famous at all. If most netizens haven't heard of it, how can they search on the Internet? Besides, what about searching? Don't have a comic to read on the Internet? Readers who want to read comic magazines have to pay for it. It's not like webtoons, many of which are free to watch. Hang Jian explained.
Liu Rui's mouth opened slightly, and just wanted to refute, Gao Hang answered again: "I think what Brother Hang said has some truth, but I think that sometimes, the editor in charge is still very important, and those webcomic artists should not be in charge of editing." ”
Editor-in-charge...... Not necessarily. is like Xiaohan's sister, she rarely listens to the editor's advice when she writes manuscripts, right? Liu Rui looked at Xi Muhan.
"The creation and comics are still different. For example, when I give the editor in charge of the manuscript, the editor in charge asks me to delete the number of words, well, I say that I should be concise and to the point, don't irrigate, every time I change the text, it is painful. Xi Muhan sighed.
Shen Xin took a sip of fish soup and glanced at Xi Muhan with a sad face, it seemed that it was really painful to change the text.
He has a say in this kind of thing, because he used to be an online author.
When it comes to "irrigation", the Internet is the "vast ocean".
But to put it in conscience, there is no way for online authors, because deleting the extra number of words has to be revised and checked repeatedly, and some authors don't even have time to check for typos, let alone have time to delete water words.
Also, old authors may not need the editor's guidance, but first-time authors must know. Because there will be a phenomenon of Kavin in creation, editors can help the author through this difficult time, Brother Xin, you should have had this experience, right? Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin.
Shen Xin nodded again and again, empathetic.
Although he didn't get stuck in the plot when he created the comics, after all, he already had a name, but when he wrote it, he did get stuck in the text.
A person sitting in front of a computer may not be able to write a thousand words in a whole day.
Maybe you wrote a hundred words and deleted five crosses, and in the end you may still be dissatisfied, or you may press your fingers on the keyboard, but you still can't think of the next plot.
