In "Chess Soul", when Xiaoguang met Shi Liang for the first time, he defeated Shi Liang with the help of Zuo Wei's strength. At that time, Shi Liang could be said to be a genius in the Go world, and anyone thought he would win, but he lost to Xiaoguang. Isn't this a typical 'pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger'? Also, Xiaoguang replaced high school students and participated in high school competitions, and finally defeated someone who was better than him in the surprise of many passers-by, which is also called 'pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger'. What's wrong with the routine? Is it a shame to use routines in comics? The problem of creation is not in using routines, but in how they are used. Wu Xiaoli said bitterly.

After listening to Wu Xiaoli's words, he was a little dumbfounded, when he first watched "Chess Soul", he didn't think so, he just thought that the comics were good-looking, and now listening to Wu Xiaoli's words, it seems to make a little sense.

"You still have a long way to go to become a good cartoonist. Also, don't think that you are very good, complacent people often don't get far. Wu Xiaoli advised.

Reading his head late, but his mind was a little confused, he didn't know how to combine routines with works.

Wu Xiaoli also saw that Chi Yue had something on her mind, and coughed lightly, "Fortunately, due to the matter of "No Demons in the World", we still have some time, whether "Xianyuan" can turn over is a matter of action." ”

Chi Yue put away his contempt and said with a little worry: "Is "Xianyuan" stable? ”

"It depends on whether "No Demon in the World" and Fan Yinmo really have something to do with it."

"Comic Future" demands absolute control over the work, saying that if you want to cut the comic in half, you must cut it in half, and it is impossible to give the other party the illusion that you can bargain.

Once the cartoonist has the support of the management behind him, things become complicated, and it is even possible to go to the Internet to win the sympathy of unreasonable people and force the magazine to give in.

Prevention is better than prevention, even if the results of "No Demon in the World" are very good, the magazine will not agree - it is popular, and there are very few comics on the street, but it does not mean that there are none, those comics that were initially popular, and then transferred from this magazine to a monthly magazine or other platforms, are examples.

"By the way, Xiao Ji, when you were a cartoonist, did you know who else participated in "No Demon in the World" except for two cartoonists?"

Ji Luo hurriedly shook his head, "How can I be qualified to know this?" I met with Fan Yinmo twice, and the notice of the final cut of the work was also known by Fan Yinmo when he sent a text message. ”

"Don't you have a group?"

Ji Luo shook his head again, "No." Fan Yinmo uses SMS to contact us...... Privately, he doesn't want too much communication between cartoonists. But ......"

"Huh?"

"I heard that "The Demon King's Family Teaching" is related to Fan Yinmo, and Shi Qun and Fan Yinmo met in District 11...... I don't know about the rest. ”

Wu Xiaoli opened her mouth, she wanted to ask more clearly, and then remembered that it was not appropriate to get too involved in this matter, and what decisions the magazine wanted to make was not something that she could influence as an editor.

She has only one task, to get "Xianyuan" out of the danger of being cut in half.

"Okay, the next thing is to modify the name, set a small goal first, and then let the small book of "Xianyuan" enter the top ten. Anyway, let's get rid of the 'bad end' of being cut in half. Wu Xiaoli clapped her hands and cheered up Chi Yue, "You won't be without confidence, right?" ”

"Who doesn't have faith? Isn't it the top ten? Chi Yue said stubbornly.

The top ten is easy to say, but it's not easy to make, especially for a cartoonist like him who has not received systematic training.

"By the way, the Huaxia Cartoonists Association has created a set of teaching materials, using the content of "Steel Forge" as an example, the quality is very good, have you read it?"

"I've heard that it seems to cost more than two hundred a copy, which is a bit expensive." Late reading laughs awkwardly.

This set of books is certainly not expensive for a normal serialized cartoonist, but like late reading, I am worried about the cut in half at the moment, and I don't have much money to buy such an expensive set of books.

Fortunately, the editorial department has this set of books, although it is only a sample book, but there is no big problem in reading.

If you can train a qualified cartoonist, it means that this set of books should also be useful.

"The editorial department has a set, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow...... It's up to you whether you can stay or not. Wu Xiaoli said seriously.

Chi Yue nodded, but the pressure in his heart suddenly increased a lot.

was expected by the editor-in-charge, and in order to improve his comic skills, Wu Xiaoli even lent him the training materials of the comic school, in case "Xianyuan" was cut in half, he estimated that he would not have the face to see Wu Xiaoli.

……

Wu Xiaoli and Chi Yue's meeting, in her opinion, can be described as a very rewarding, not only let Chi Yue abandon the idea of wanting to be a maverick, but also think of helping him borrow a set of teaching materials to improve his abilities in all aspects.

The criterion for judging commercial comics is whether they can make a profit, and the reason why classic bridges/routines are classic is because they have been recognized by the market. Therefore, if you want to make money, you must get rid of the inherent ideas.

Wu Xiaoli is full of confidence, but Xie Yu, who is also the editor in charge, is like thin ice.

He swore that he would only reveal a little bit and wanted Shi Qun to start collecting the idea of the comic plot, and the sensitive Shi Qun immediately guessed what Yu meant.

When Xie Yu was resting, Shi Qun sent a text message to Fan Yinmo, telling "Comic Future" that it had made some moves and might end "No Demons in the World".

Half an hour later, Fan Yinmo rushed back, didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and came directly to Xie Yu.

"What do you want to do? Don't you let go of "No Demons in the World"? Fan Yinmo's eyes widened and stared at Xie Yu, "In this work, I didn't make any excessive requests, right?" I'm sorry for the other manga artists, but I'm not sorry for Comic Future. ”

At this moment, Fan Yinmo is in no mood to deny the relationship with "No Demons in the World".

"I'm sorry." Xie Yu didn't know what else he could do except apologize?

This situation is no longer beyond his control.

"Get out! Get out! Fan Yinmo pointed to the door and roared loudly, "Tell your editor-in-chief, I will go to your editorial office tomorrow to deal with this matter." ”

Xie Yu apologized again and left the studio with his briefcase.

Fan Yinmo sat on the sofa angrily and didn't say a word for a long time.

"What did the old man say?" Shi Qun had no confidence in his heart.

"What else can I say?" Fan Yinmo said angrily, "Let me stop, don't embarrass him." ”

“……”

Shi Qun's mouth opened slightly, and then sat on the sofa, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.

He didn't recruit anyone to mess with anyone, even if the income he received was far less than the income he earned, he just wanted to have a quiet environment to create, and now his works had to be cut in half.

If the results are really bad, he also admits it, but the results of "No Demons in the World" are obviously good, and there are specific readers, so it is difficult for him to accept being cut in half like this.

Fan Yinmo glanced at Shi Qun, saw him with tears in his eyes, and asked, "Reluctant?" ”

"Hmm...... Obviously, there is still a lot of content that has not been drawn...... "There Are No Demons in the World" should be over for a long time. I...... I really don't want him to end up like this. ”

Fan Yinmo shook his head, glanced upstairs, but saw Jin Yingchen standing at the fence on the second floor, looking at the two people condescendingly, with a confused expression.
