Chapter 1023 - Comic Textbook
The four of them were talking about Lu Ning in the studio, and Wang Wenhong hurriedly walked in with a package.
"What's the matter?" Yan Fei looked at Wang Wenhong's frizzy appearance and was a little surprised.
Wang Wenhong lifted the package and patted it twice, "The training materials that the Cartoonists Association began to produce in the first half of the year, this is the first draft of one of the volumes, send it over for us to see the content, if there is no major problem, the next step is proofreading and printing." ”
Shen Xin heard Wang Wenhong mention this matter two days ago, and he just said that he would mail it over, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
After receiving the email, after Shen Xin opened it, he found that it was a 16-carat textbook, which was printed on A4 paper and the paper was thicker, so it was extra weighty in his hand.
This kind of book reminded Shen Xin of the photocopied books he had seen in college, but fortunately, the content on the paper was clearer than that kind of book.
The background color of the cover is white, and it is full of words such as "sample book", "confidential", and "no business beast".
After Shen Xin opened it, he glanced at it casually, this book mainly talks about storyboards, and the materials selected are mainly from "Steel Tempering", in addition, there are some storyboards in "Chess Soul", which is the condition agreed between the Cartoonists Association and "Comic Future", and part of the content of "Chess Soul" will be used, and Shen Xin also agreed.
The textbook is roughly divided into two parts, one part is the specific operation and analysis of the storyboard of "Steel Forge", and the other part is an interview with cartoonists and editors, telling about the content related to storyboarding and composition.
Overall, the content is not bad, the front is very basic, and then the transition from the basic to the more professional part is quite similar to a book like "From Beginner to Mastery", which should be a "complete" thing.
Since the writer has teachers from training institutions in District 11, the style is more relaxed, and sometimes in order to illustrate a theory, original sketches are added.
The whole book is more than 300 pages, and I don't see the pricing, but the price shouldn't be cheap.
"Brother Wang, you and Sister Yan will help check it, it's nothing serious, just give them an answer, right?" Shen Xin handed the textbook to Wang Wenhong again.
He also wanted to read it carefully for himself, but he really didn't have time right now.
"Got it!" Wang Wenhong made an OK gesture.
Yan Fei glanced at the textbook in Wang Wenhong's hand, and sighed, feeling a little lost.
"The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" is over, and her work has come to an end for the time being, so she can't have nothing to do after that, right?
Of course, she also knew that she was pregnant now, and Shen Xin didn't want her to work harder, but she wasn't used to not doing things all day long.
"By the way, Sister Yan, I didn't want to trouble you, but now it seems that I may still need your help." Shen Xin looked at Yan Fei, a little helpless.
As he said before, Yan Fei shouldn't be too busy now, but he is really lacking in skills now, so he has to ask Yan Fei for help.
"What's the matter?" Yan Fei immediately had her spirits.
She is really not afraid of being busy, but afraid of idleness, she has nothing to do, and she is no different from a wasted person, which is what she hates the most.
Wang Wenhong smiled bitterly.
From his point of view, he definitely hopes that Yan Fei will take good care of it, but he also knows Yan Fei's temper, and what he believes will go all the way to the end.
Unless there's really nothing to do, she's still looking for something to do.
"That's right, we worked with the organizing committee of the high school league to draw the characters of 60 teams. The 60 teams must have their own characteristics, and if these characteristics are reflected in the personality, a lot of information must be found. Now I am on my own, and I have limited time, after all, it takes a lot of time to design the characters and compositions, and I have to draw "SLAM DUNK", so the whole person will be very tired. So, I'd like to ask you to sort out the characteristics of these teams, so that I can draw the characters directly without having to look for information. Shen Xin looked at Yan Fei.
After Yan Fei heard it, her face was full of joy and nodded again and again, when she was in "Comic Future", she did not draw a lot for the promotion of the comic book and made suggestions, but these things are still at hand.
Although 60 people are a bit much, there is plenty of time, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Wang Wenhong also nodded slightly, he could also see that Shen Xin's spirit was not very good recently, and it must have something to do with these things.
"Speaking of the high school league, Mr. Shen, you still want to go to Yanjing next year, right?"
"Yes, just take the material, feel the atmosphere of the scene, and hope to reflect it in the work." Shen Xin said.
At that time, Inoue Yuhiko went to the United States many times to watch the game in order to draw "SLAM DUNK", and it is said that the pinnacle battle of "SLAM DUNK", the game between Xiangbei vs Sanno Industry also has a prototype, which is related to Inoue's love for basketball.
Since all the names and manuscripts were in Shen Xin's mind, he didn't have to deliberately go to the scene to draw comics, but he still had to feel the atmosphere of the scene.
"I don't know if Yunhai No. 1 Middle School can enter the national competition again."
"It should be no problem, last season, Yunhai No. 1 Middle School also entered the national competition, and the kid named An Yuan became the ace of the team...... and Yang, that is, Zhai Yang, turned out to be the coach of Yunhai No. 1 Middle School, which was beyond my guess. If they go, I'd love to talk to them for a while. Shen Xin thought of An Yuan and Zhai Yang, and looked forward to the three of them meeting again.
"However, Brother Xin, when will the animation of "SLAM DUNK" come out? A lot of people on the Internet are urging this matter. Xi Muhan reminded.
"Animation? After the match between Xiangbei and Hainan, it can be discussed. Shen Xin recalled the progress of the comic and gave a more accurate answer.
After the match between Xiangbei and Hainan, the plot of "SLAM DUNK" is almost halfway through, and it is time to start the animation.
IT'S JUST THAT SHEN XIN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT WHICH ANIMATION COMPANY "SLAM DUNK" WILL BE.
I want to guarantee the quality of SLAM DUNK.
Shen Xin thought silently in his heart.
The other four people have different looks, "SLAM DUNK" is gaining momentum, "Shonen Leap" should do its best, right?
……
The editorial department of "Shonen Leap" is making final preparations for the release of the new single book of "SLAM DUNK".
As "SLAM DUNK" became more and more exciting, its sales in District 11 also began to compete with "Eternal Gate", and sometimes, it could even surpass "Eternal Gate" at a certain time, which made Murakami Toru very happy, knowing that the signing of "SLAM DUNK" made the sales of "Shonen Leap" not only stop the decline, but grow strongly, and now the sales have exceeded 3.7 million copies.
At that time, the efforts of deliberately running to Hongchuan were not in vain, which was really good.
Murakami Toru picked up the mug and took a sip of coffee, but before he could put it down, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
He subconsciously picked up the phone, and then asked "what's the matter".
A hurried voice came from the other end of the phone, "Editor-in-chief Murakami?" The chairman fell ill......"
What the?
Toru Murakami felt a chill behind his back, and his mood suddenly dropped.
