Shen Xin was surprised by Shi Ping's words.

Is there a set of cartoonist textbooks to be made in China? And the choice is "Steelmaking......

He had to think about it.

The "Cartoonists Association" picked out "Steel Forge and really has a vision".

The plot of "Steel Forge" does not have many forks, there is only one main line from beginning to end, and the power system is also very complete, from beginning to end, the original setting has never been broken. The comics have a certain connotation, exploring the meaning of life and death, discussing "one is all", discussing human nature and anti-. On the contrary, "Steel" grasps these things just right, and does not make the reader feel difficult and obscure.

More critically, the characterization of "Steel".

There is no superfluous character throughout the story, most of the characters are very vivid, not to mention the creation of the protagonist team and 7 artificial people, even some small characters are also memorable.

As for the storyboard and composition, the standard is also very high.

Such a work is simply the perfect comic textbook.

The "Cartoonists Association" made such a request, and Shen Xin almost didn't need to think about it before agreeing.

From his own point of view, he is indeed very famous in the circle of Chinese comics, but this popularity will always continue, but the works are compiled into teaching materials and studied by some comics, and the fame of "Steel Refining" will come to another level, at least for a longer time.

In addition, if someone really learns some skills through "Steel Forge", or has some help for his future career, then he has done a good deed, not for himself, but for the Chinese comics of this world.

"I'm fine, but the copyright of the comic "Steel" is in the hands of "Comic Future". Shen Xin explained.

"The licensing fee for "Steel Forge" is too high...... "Shi Ping looked embarrassed.

After all, "Steel" raised the sales of "Comic Future" with 40 pages a week at the most dangerous time of "Comic Future". This kind of miracle, "Comic Future" has only appeared once, and Shen Xin has only done it once.

Therefore, "Comic Future" is also extremely cautious about the authorization of "Steel".

What's more, for a phenomenal work like "Steel Forge", it is normal for the cost to be high.

"In that case...... Shen Xin rubbed his chin, "I can be an intermediary, but there are conditions, I want to see your plan and overall plan." ”

"Yes."

Since he wanted to get the authorization of "Steel Chain", Shi Ping knew that he had to at least hand over the plan book, which was very fair.

"Well, please contact Wang Wenhong in the future, and he will be in charge of this matter." Shen Xin asked Wu Xiaoli, who was talking to Xi Muhan and Lu Ning, for paper and pen, and wrote Wang Wenhong's phone number on it.

This kind of thing, Wang Wenhong is relatively easy to handle, and he is just a cartoon.

Since Luo Zheng listened to Zuo Yuan's story, he also wanted to have a long chat with Shen Xin.

As soon as Bao Jiyi's speech ended, he looked around for Shen Xin, and when he found out, he saw Shen Xin talking to an old man, and waited for more than ten minutes before the old man left.

He came over immediately, for fear of being preempted again.

As a result, Shen Xin only ate two bites of fried noodles, and then saw Luo Zheng coming over again, and smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that it is basically impossible to eat an Ansheng meal tonight.

Before he came, he had expected this possibility, and the reality was exactly the same as his guess.

However, he really didn't expect Luo Zheng to come to him, and in his impression, the number of times the two of them talked was really only a handful.

"Hello, Mr. Luo."

"Hello." Luo Zheng's face was embarrassed, thinking of the situation of "Idol Era", he gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Xin, "Teacher Shen, you must tell me, what are the shortcomings of "Idol Era"? ”

"Huh?" Shen Xin's eyelids jumped twice, and there was a black line.

He didn't know if Luo Zheng wanted to hear the truth or if he wanted to hear lies.

"Mr. Luo, what do you mean?"

"Now the results of "Idol Age" have been declining, so, there must be a flaw, right?"

"You should discuss this matter with Xu Jie, right?"

I'm not the editor-in-charge.

Shen Xin muttered in his heart.

"He's a magazine guy, and a lot of times, the interests of cartoonists and editors don't coincide." Luo Zheng said.

The interests of cartoonists are also inconsistent...... Everyone is a competitor, and there must be jealousy.

Shen Xin thought to himself, and said: "Editors are the bridge between magazines and cartoonists, and magazines want to make money from cartoons, and on many levels, the interests of cartoonists and editors are the same. ”

"That's not what I mean, I'm saying that the gap between Idol Era and other manga — not just SLAM DUNK — is getting bigger, and it's hard to get back up. I want to transfer to other themes, but my grades are not good......" Luo Zheng sighed, his face full of sadness, "I...... I don't know what to do. ”

Shen Xin immediately understood.

He knew early on that a cartoonist could end up with a new serialization that would hit the streets.

Of course, the standards are different for different people.

Take the online article as an example, if an author's last book is 1,000 orders, then the next book is 2,000, which can be said to be a big step up, but if his last book is 20,000 orders, then even if the next book is 3,000 orders, he will think that he is on the street.

Luo Zheng is in the latter case, and as time goes by, if he does not adjust, the situation will become more and more difficult.

"It's over."

"The magazine disagreed, saying that my next work may not be able to go beyond this step. Moreover, I am not confident that the results of the next manga will be better. Luo Zheng said tangledly.

"No one can be sure about the market." Shen Xin shook his head, "Including the magazine club." ”

When Luo Zheng heard this, suddenly the hope he had just had was extinguished by the water, and he was about to turn around and leave, when Shen Xin asked again: "No one else can change the fate of the work, only yourself." ”

"But...... What do I do instead? This is what Luo Zheng is most concerned about.

"To put it simply, you have two questions. First, the magazine doesn't let you break the update because you don't know the quality of the next work, so if you let the magazine know the level of the new work, this problem should be solved. ”

"How?"

"Anonymous submission. If it is unanimously approved by the editorial department, then there is a high possibility that the new book will be serialized. At the same time as serializing "Idol Era", another high-quality short manga was drawn and submitted under the name of a newcomer...... It's going to be a hard time to get. Shen Xin explained.

This kind of operation is not uncommon in online articles, to paraphrase the words of industry insiders, "the great god author who does not have a few vests".

However, it is extremely rare in manga, because it is very difficult to "draw another work at the same time as serialization". It will be very painful in terms of energy and physical strength, and even lead to a decline in the quality of both works - if the online author is double-opened, it will be affected, let alone comics.
