Chapter 1174: Suddenly
Since Xi Muhan targeted the theme of "cartoonist", he wanted to read all the comics related to Area 11.
However, most of the comics introduced to the 11th district in China are very famous works, and the theme of cartoonists is not among them. For this reason, Wang Wenhong could only mail order a batch of originals from District 11.
The theme of "cartoonist" has a certain advantage for Xi Muhan, that is, she has participated in the drawing of two comics, has been in contact with different editors, and has also been to the editorial department of "Youth Leap", so she is very familiar with this part, and Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong are responsible editors, and no one knows better than the two of them from the creation, to the serial meeting, to the signing of the contract, the sale of a single book, and a series of procedures and operations.
But this genre also has a disadvantage - it is difficult to get results.
In District 11, there are not no comics with the theme of "cartoonists" and achievements, but the most recent comic is almost 20 years old. Who knows if today's readers will accept that style of comics?
"After reading for a long time, the comics with good grades are divided into two categories, one is about cartoonists, and the other is about cartoonists and assistants. Due to the limited subject matter, the age of the cartoonist is usually not too old, so the daily life of the campus and the daily life of the cartoonist are a type of comic...... And then there's the relationship between the cartoonist and the assistant......"
Xi Muhan rubbed his face, unable to find a clue at all.
I thought that the "wine bottle" was difficult to find, but now I have found the "wine bottle", but I don't know what "wine" to hold in the "wine bottle".
It's hard.
"Sister Yan, which one do you think is better?" Xi Muhan glanced at Yan Fei, who was flipping through the comics, and asked.
"Neither."
"Huh?"
"Look at the results." Xi Muhan took out a page from the folder on the side and handed it to Xi Muhan, "Among these comics, the highest volume is only 400,000 copies...... Animation promotion is also added. What do you think is the reaction of the magazine society when Mr. Shen drew a comic with an average volume of only 400,000 copies? ”
"Huh?"
Xi Muhan blinked, and then quickly shook his head.
400,000 volumes average? Isn't that equivalent to smashing the "Shen Zheng" brand?
"Sister, will it ...... This subject matter is not good? Xi Muhan frowned, looking helpless.
She also thought about other types of comics, but none of them fit.
Take the comics that Shen Xin has already drawn, the royal comics have "SLAM DUNK" and "Steel Chain", the sports comics have "SLAM DUNK" and "Chess Soul", the love comics have "Y's", and even the evil comics have "DN...... In a sense, "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" can also be regarded as an evil comic.
If the type of comics is drawn as polygonal, Shen Xin is almost full of juvenile comics.
Love comics can be a bit of a try, but she has to compete not only with Y's, but also with other manga artists' love comics.
In Xi Muhan's opinion, losing to these comics is not a shame, but losing to other cartoonists, she is really difficult to accept.
All things considered, industry comics like "cartoonists" may have highlights, but no one can guess how high the ceiling is.
"Why don't you discuss it with Mr. Shen, maybe he has any good suggestions?"
"Huh? I'm afraid he says I'm thinking too much...... Why don't you think about it anymore, what if you get inspired? Xi Muhan shook his head, "I want to give him a finished product." ”
"Actually...... Personally, I think the first type is probably a little better. Yan Fei thought about it and gave her opinion.
"Huh?"
"First of all, since it's a shonen manga, the age of the protagonist must not be too big. The middle school students are just the right age, and then, add some school plots, on the one hand, to keep the story in a more relaxed atmosphere, and on the other hand, to mediate the plot of the comics. ”
"Mediation of the plot?"
"yes, if it's all about drawing comics, readers should be bored, right?" Yan Fei speculated.
"Yes." Xi Muhan looked back on the "Ding Food" he created, although it was a food comic, but he didn't cook all the time, "But, Sister Yan, I have a question, like "Chess Soul" and "SLAM DUNK", these two comics seem to have few other plots, right? "Chess Soul" is about Go, and "SLAM DUNK" is mainly about basketball games, and sometimes, a game can even be drawn for seven or eight months......"
"That's the other point I'm going to make......"
"What?"
"Professional. Needless to say, Mr. Shen hired Xie Shiqi as a consultant, many of the places in it are very professional, and Mr. Shen also went to the scene many times to collect materials when painting "SLAM DUNK", which you should know. But the daily life of a cartoonist is to stay in the studio and draw, and if this is the main plot, uh...... Can readers really read it? ”
Yan Fei was a little embarrassed.
"This ......" Xi Muhan scratched his head, "I actually think that cartoonists have a lot to write about, such as the intersection between my brother and Zuo Yuan, as well as this studio incident, we can also discuss the D version ......"
Yan Fei heard Xi Muhan's words and was considering its feasibility, when suddenly, Wang Wenhong quickly ran into the studio, and under the surprised eyes of the assistants, he entered the office where the two people were.
"Didn't you go pick up the comics? What about comics? Yan Fei saw that Wang Wenhong's hands were empty, and she looked puzzled.
Wang Wenhong didn't make a sound, but unscrewed a bottle of mineral water. After drinking a bottle of mineral water in one gulp, he casually threw the mineral water bottle into the trash, "in the car, I didn't pick it up...... Something went wrong. ”
"Something? What's wrong? Yan Fei was surprised.
Xi Muhan also nodded again and again, she also wanted to know what was going on.
"There is no demon in the world" was determined to be cut in half, readers made a fuss on the Internet, Fan Yinmo dissed "Comic Future" on the Internet, and at the same time, it was determined to dissolve the studio. The rookie cartoonists in the studio are not satisfied either. It was so sudden that they didn't even have a chance to adjust. Wang Wenhong told what he knew.
"Is there any news on the Internet?"
"Yes, whether it is Manjia.com or Weibo, it is very noisy, and the cartoonists of the studio and "No Demon in the World" accuse "Comic Future", while other netizens are also blaming the studio. In short, it's a mess online. Now after such a fuss, this matter has made headlines on Weibo. ”
Yan Fei rubbed her forehead, the progress of this matter was really faster than she imagined.
Seeing Wang Wenhong holding the pad and opening the door, Yan Fei asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Teacher Shen told me to follow the direction of this matter...... Now that it's like this on the Internet, Mr. Shen should know, right? After Wang Wenhong explained, he walked out of the office.
