Chapter 13: Blind
Dreamer magazine has been busy lately.
Whereas Dreamer was revised, all contracts had to be re-signed, and the amount of work for editors increased.
Wang Wenhong not only has to worry about work, but at the same time, he also has one more thing to worry about - he saw the "Love Equation" drawn by Shen Xin.
Originally, he shouldn't have paid attention to Shen Xin's comics, but the one actually used his real name.
When he saw the new issue of "Weekly New World", he was attracted by the word "Shen Xin". originally thought that he could watch a joke, but in the end, "Love Equation" surprised him.
It's really blinding.
Now that I think about "The Witch" carefully, I have no impression at all, I just think the plot is quite cliché.
But this "Love Equation" is completely different, if you only look at the storyboard, it is much better than Chen Zijiao, even the most clichéd plot problems that he criticizes are not seen in this book.
The story is about a pair of high school students who have a crush on each other before graduating from high school.
First of all, there was a loss of fat ci in the school, and the heroine was also implicated, and the male protagonist secretly investigated, but was mistaken for a thief who stole fat ci, and the heroine also misunderstood the male protagonist at this time.
During the graduation trip, a good friend secretly helps the male protagonist and the two sides reconcile, but then another misunderstanding occurs, which makes the atmosphere very awkward. But because of this misunderstanding, the two had more contact.
Finally, at the graduation ceremony, the actor showed his heart without revealing his name in front of the teachers and students of the school, but in the end, he told everyone that this was just a made up story, just to let everyone cherish their feelings.
In this way, two young people who fooled each other in their hearts, but they did not have the courage to stand in front of each other and confess.
On the last two pages, four years later, two people meet again, looking at each other and smiling, all emotions contained in them.
How much truth is told through stories?
If the two of them had been more courageous at that time, maybe they would have been together a day earlier.
The story has an open-ended ending, and the relationship between them has not been broken, but the fates of the two have been closely linked.
After reading it, it makes people feel unfinished, but there is a trace of warmth in their hearts.
The shyness of the girl and the indecisiveness of the teenager were accurately expressed by Shen Xin through storyboards and delicate paintings.
There are also fat ci and lou backs in the whole article, but there are not many scenes, which can be regarded as adding spice to the whole comic.
If this cartoon was completed by Shen Xin independently, then his potential is no less than Chen Zijiao.
No, compared with Shen Xin, Chen Zijiao's only advantage is that he is more ornate in painting, especially in color painting.
Wang Wenhong sighed secretly, lifted the file bag containing the latest issue of "Weekly New World", and was about to go to Chen Zijiao's studio to collect the manuscript, but the female editor next to him secretly stopped Wang Wenhong.
"Hey, Brother Wang, have you watched the latest issue of New World? There is a very good-looking short story in it, the author's name is Shen Xin, it should be his real name, well, it looks a little familiar. ”
"I haven't seen it, I'm not familiar with it, I don't know."
Wang Wenhong glanced at the female editor angrily, can you not be familiar? You're also at that fanfair.。 At that time, I was not happy to let you pick it up...... Forget it, don't talk about it, depressed.
Wang Wenhong hurriedly left the editing room, took the subway, and came to the door of Chen Zijiao's studio.
Knocking on the door, a cool air hit his face, making him feel refreshed.
"Brother Wang, please come in." A middle-aged man with thick round lenses saw Wang Wenhong and hurriedly greeted him.
This person is an assistant deliberately found by Wang Wenhong for Chen Zijiao, and he is not very good at drawing backgrounds, but he has a very good level in blacking, whitening, and effect lines.
Wang Wenhong nodded and walked straight into the room.
It was a four-bedroom, two-hall room, with a workbench for three assistants in the living room. Chen Zijiao's office is in the study.
Wang Wenhong pushed open the study, and Chen Zijiao was standing in front of the mirror by the wall, sorting out the flower shirt on his body.
Noticing that Wang Wenhong pushed the door in, Chen Zijiao turned around with a smile on his face.
"Long time no see, Brother Wang."
"How's the original?" Wang Wenhong asked.
"The first episode has been completed, and the second episode is in the works." Chen Zijiao straightened his collar with a chuckle on his face.
Wang Wenhong breathed a sigh of relief.
The first word is a color page, and it is also the longest time-consuming part, Chen Zijiao completed the first word, and Wang Wenhong's pressure was much less.
Chen Zijiao picked up an envelope on the table and handed it to Wang Wenhong, "Brother Wang, you first see how the quality of the color page is." ”
"I immediately identified you because of the cover you drew, so the quality of the color pages must be fine, right?" As he spoke, Wang Wenhong pulled out the manuscript, his eyes swept over the manuscript, and his eyes were immediately attracted.
Chen Zijiao's dedication to color, like his pursuit of clothes, uses a lot of strong colors in his sketches, and the watercolor pen is dipped in advertising white and painted in the highlights, creating a sense of luxury visually.
From the composition of the whole page to the folds on the characters' clothes, all the details seem to have been calculated by Chen Zijiao.
Because Wang Wenhong had already seen the name before, he had a general understanding of the later storyboards. However, when he saw the storyboard of the original manuscript, he found that there had been quite a few changes, and even a full page appeared in it.
"You changed the storyboard, right?"
"Yes, I did change it, how did it work?" Chen Zijiao asked.
"The impact is stronger...... The other storyboards are also good. Wang Wenhong flipped through the storyboard and was excited.
Although Shen Xin is also good, from the current point of view, Chen Zijiao is obviously better.
Chen Zijiao, and Su Han...... The two are geniuses in their respective fields, and their cooperation, among their peers, is simply incomprehensible.
The corners of Chen Zijiao's mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes showed a look of pride, "By the way, how is the 'baby' that Yan Bian picked up?" ”
"It's okay, he's better than the average newcomer, but not as good as you. I compared your manuscript with his, and I think your manuscript is better. Wang Wenhong touched the file bag, and the new "New World" didn't need to be taken out, so let Chen Zijiao read it, right?
"Of course, I'm the one who was destined to change the history of Dreamer." Chen Zijiao chuckled.
Wang Wenhong just wanted to remind Chen Zijiao not to be too proud, but then he thought that this cartoon was a collaboration between Su Han and Chen Zijiao, and it might really reach a very high height, well, and even have a chance to win the crown of "Rookie King".
Before the press release was released, Wang Wenhong had already begun to fantasize about what would happen next.
……
At the same time, in an apartment in Hongchuan City, a teenager squatting on a swivel chair picked up a G pen and sketched a line drawing on the original paper.
The mobile phone on the table suddenly rang, and the G-pen in the boy's hand stopped, and after a moment of contemplation, he pressed the speakerphone.
"Hey, Mr. Ye, the first episode will be published next week, is the original manuscript of the first three episodes ready?"
"Hmm." The boy lowered his head and continued to draw the manuscript.
"Teacher Ye, please be sure to get the next 'rookie king'."
The young man's pen stopped, because of too much force, the tip of the G pen was forked to both sides, and after pondering for a while, he said: "It's boring, I don't want to take any 'rookie king'." I just want to see more interesting comics, Huaxia comics, which shouldn't be so boring. ”
"Teacher Ye still speaks so casually."
Casual and casual?
The young man surnamed Ye raised his head, pondered for a moment, put on noise-canceling earplugs, and continued to bow his head to paint.
"Hey, teacher, didn't I tell you not to wear noise-canceling earplugs when talking to someone on the phone?"
The assistant behind him noticed the editor's loud question coming from the mobile phone, but the boy didn't answer, so he quickly turned around, and sure enough, he saw that the boy was wearing earplugs.
The teacher ...... Not only does he speak casually, but he also does things without regard for others.
The assistant sighed helplessly.
