First, Shen Xin can't cook; Second, he doesn't read many comics.

As a result, he didn't study much of gourmet cuisine.

However, food comics have to burst clothes, which is pure nonsense, "Late Night Canteen" did not burst clothes, and "Dungeon on the Tip of the Tongue" ("Labyrinth Rice") also did not burst clothes, and the quality of both comics is very good.

Although these two comics are also about food, they have their own emphasis, but in comparison, they are not as pure as "Little Master" and "The Spirit of the Halberd".

"Like food comics, the plot should be relatively clear and clear, in short, it is to introduce food. Often, in order to express the deliciousness of the food and at the same time attract the reader's attention, a competition between different chefs is indispensable. ”

"There are also competitions in 'Ding Shi'." Xi Muhan nodded and said.

"That's fine. There is a system of power...... No, is it an upgrade system? Shen Xin asked.

"What? No, Brother Xin, this is a food comic, how can there be an upgrade system? The characters of "Steel Forge" have never been promoted from beginning to end, right? ”

"Why haven't you been promoted?" Shen Xin retorted, "It's just that the upgrade of the protagonist is not the same as the usual comics. The upgrade in "Steel" is the growth of the protagonist. Edward initially naively thought that he could use the human body to refine and resurrect his mother, but he failed. I've seen the customs of other cities, and I've seen Nina's helplessness after becoming a synth. Along the way, Edward also gradually matured, and in a way, this was also an upgrade. ”

The growth of people is the most difficult to portray, and many of the protagonists of the Internet are decisive, but they rarely talk about their mental changes.

"Back to "Ding Food", the change of the protagonist's title, whether it is elementary, intermediate, senior, or special, this is an upgrade, and the level of the restaurant where the protagonist is located is also an upgrade."

Shen Xin's conversation made Xi Muhan or Lu Ningmao pause, nodded again and again, and agreed with Shen Xin's words.

They also know the beginner, middle, high, and special grades of chefs, but they just think that these are professional titles, and they don't associate them with upgrades.

The highest level pursued by the catering industry is a three-star restaurant, which is the highest pursuit of all practitioners.

In fact, comics, this kind of work, the nature is almost the same, as long as the upgrade system, or the power system is well structured, then, you can add the appropriate plot to the system as needed.

Shen Xin put forward two clues at once, and the story framework was immediately fleshed out.

"There's something else to remind you of."

Lu Ning and Xi Muhan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stared at Shen Xin.

"You've all heard of 'Pretty Food', right? This word describes the beauty of the girl, but in the food comics, the food you draw, should also have this effect! It is absolutely necessary to show the 'shape' and 'color' of the food through the brush and dot paper. ”

To a certain extent, the depiction of food in "The Spirit of the Halberd" has indeed reached the point of 'beautiful and delicious'.

Lu Ning nodded, this was her task.

"Also, there are so many kinds of cuisines in the world that it's amazing to be able to reach the top of one genre in your lifetime. So, a character can only be good at one type of cooking. Among the eight major cuisines, such as Sichuan cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, and Sichuan cuisine, each cuisine can have a very powerful character, and the character can have a distinct personality. ”

"Brother Xin, the eight major cuisines are not only Sichuan cuisine." Xi Muhan reminded.

"I know, but I don't know about the other cuisines." Shen Xin is very honest, because in "The Spirit of the Halberd", the only Chinese cuisine that can be named is Sichuan cuisine.

All his knowledge related to food comes from the two comics "Little Master" and "Halberd".

“……”

Lu Ning and Xi Muhan looked helpless, but no one is perfect, like Shen Xin, who even struggles to cook instant noodles, it is not easy to know a Sichuan dish and know the level of the chef.

They can't be too demanding of Shen Xin.

Shen Xin saw that the two girls were silent, thinking that they were thinking about what they had just said, and they had a feeling of being a teacher in their hearts.

"Teacher Shen, you can actually give a few lessons to new authors." Yan Fei took Zuo Yuan's name and walked over.

Shen Xin's mouth opened slightly, and he almost agreed, but fortunately he stopped talking in time and waved his hand slightly, "It's still over." Haven't you heard the phrase 'no first, no second'? What I say, others may not agree. When the time comes, someone excitedly refutes a few words, then I am bored with myself. ”

When creating on the Internet, some experienced authors want to give novice authors something for free, but they are ridiculed by novice authors. This has happened more than once.

Therefore, it is enough to talk to familiar people, there is no need to give a lecture to newcomers, and in addition, newcomers may not be able to listen.

Everyone's time is equally valuable, and there is no need for him to waste it on these aspects.

After Shen Xin finished speaking, he glanced at the manuscript in Yan Fei's hand again, "The original manuscript? ”

"Teacher Zuo's name, although it is two or three days later than the agreed time, but the quality is not bad. A total of 32 pages, I hope Mr. Zuo can work harder. ”

When Shen Xin heard this, he bowed slightly.

He didn't know much about these awards, and he didn't have the heart to participate, after all, he had already jumped out of that stage and didn't have the energy to take care of these things.

"By the way, one more thing...... Mr. Zuo is good at relatively flat, that is, the plot of the daily direction, and this short story is the same, I told him at the time that it is better for comics to have highlights. also said a few more special words, for example, the protagonist may not even be human! So, he took a cat as the main character and wrote the story from the perspective of a cat. ”

"Cats?"

Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, and the name of the book immediately appeared in his mind, and then shook his head.

It's not the same, it's a comic!

Shen Xin thought of another comic - "A Dog".

"If the protagonist is a cat...... It's okay, but to portray the whole story from the cat's point of view, you need to let the cat think like a human and reflect the progress of the whole story through inner activity. ”

The reader needs a sense of substitution, even if it's a cat, to make the reader feel its thoughts.

Yan Fei made an "ok" gesture, and her face was slightly relieved.

"How is Mr. Zuo now?"

"Not bad. He is also waiting for his chance, and now ComicFuture is also short of good quality manuscripts. ”

"By the way, I heard that you are also working on the app, how is it now?"

"It's in closed beta right now, and there are a lot of comics. But there is too little new content, and now the editor-in-chief Zeng Yue is also worried about the new comics. New authors have been sucked away by Duoman.com's 'Golden Brush' award, and the pressure on the magazine is too great. Yan Fei sighed.

Shen Xin pursed his mouth.

From the current point of view, it seems that Duoman.com has affected "ComicFuture", and I don't know how the magazine will deal with it next. This made him look forward to it a little.
