Chapter 107: Pressure from Hunting Abyss

The name of "Y's" is the same as before, and the quality is still very high, but in terms of plot, it really makes Yan Fei a little helpless.

There was a misunderstanding between the two again, and, seeing the new name of "Y's", Iori didn't seem to know that the magazine wanted her to take a photo of Quanguo.

"These two people are really not worrying. Teacher Shen, be careful, don't collapse the story. ”

It is impossible for Shen Xin to modify the plot, Yan Fei can only hope that he will not follow Chen Zijiao's example and let himself go.

"I know what to do. By the way, Sister Yan, if there is any movement related to radio dramas in the magazine, you must tell me as soon as possible. Shen Xin reminded.

"Yes." Yan Fei stuffed the copy of Name into her bag and said goodbye to Shen Xin.

After cleaning, Gao Hang took the single book of "Y's" and continued to practice the background, while Lu Ning took the name before "Y's" to observe the relationship between the grids.

Xi Muhan's fingers tapped on the keyboard quickly, ready to write the branch plot of the game in one go.

Shen Xin copied the name to the original, and the duckbill pen typed out the line frame, avoiding the light, and lay it flat on the floor. By five o'clock in the afternoon, he had finished five or six pages of line drawing.

It was getting dark, Gao Hang stood up and was about to turn on the lights, Shen Xin sat up straight and said to Gao Hang, "Let's eat first, right?" Come back and start drawing the original. ”

"Okay, I've been waiting for the manuscript for a long time." Gao Hang raised his hands.

Lu Ning put away the name before "Y's", "Mr. Shen, I have some questions on the storyboard that I want to ask you." ”

"Well, let's talk about it while we eat. What do we eat? Shen Xin asked.

"Incense pot, how's it going?" Xi Muhan asked.

"It's best this way, I know there's a fragrant pot shop nearby, it's delicious." Gao Hang swallowed his saliva, his cheeks filled with happiness.

"Pay attention to the body type, your current model is only two X's, if it becomes XXXL, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a girlfriend." Shen Xin reminded.

"Huh? No way? Gao Hang was startled, and hurriedly pinched the fat on his stomach, as if he was a little fat, and hurriedly covered his stomach.

Perhaps because of the thought of weight, Gao Hang was depressed all the way, but when he entered the fragrant pot shop and looked at the tender beef, he immediately put aside the question of whether to lose weight, picked the materials as quickly as possible, sent them to the kitchen window, and then took off his cotton clothes and sat on the seat beautifully.

After Shen Xin picked out the ingredients, he also sat down, but he noticed that Lu Ning, who was sitting opposite him, was staring at him.

"That's on the storyboard...... What's the problem? Shen Xin thought of Lu Ning's question before leaving.

"Well, how to choose the storyboard of the big grid and the small grid?"

"This one. In fact, the use of large and small grids is, in the final analysis, a change in rhythm. Shen Xin explained.

"Rhythm?" Lu Ning blinked, she was thinking about the comics by herself before, and she didn't know these details.

"That's right. The comics' frames come from the movie's storyboards. When does the movie give a character close-up? It's mostly when emotions erupt. The same is true for storyboards, the picture of the big grid is usually the frame where the emotions explode, and part of the role of the small grid in front is to accumulate emotions, and these pent-up emotions will not let the reader feel the emotions of the characters until the big grid erupts. In fact, the difficulty of name lies in the storyboard on the one hand, and the layout of the whole sentence on the other.

"In the case of a comic book, the page number of each episode is fixed. The first episode is between 50 and 55 pages, and from the second episode onwards, each episode is about 20 pages, and different magazines and societies have corresponding rules, but they are generally about the same. Therefore, when designing name, it is necessary to take into account the foreshadowing and high in this sentence. Tide. The cartoonist must find the right flashpoint within 20 pages. In addition to this, the consideration of single and double pages will also be different. ”

"Name also needs to consider single and double pages?" Xi Muhan was surprised.

"Of course." Gao Hang looked at the kitchen with his eyes and swallowed, "Don't forget, there is a format for comics called spreads. The first page of the spread is a double page, and the second page is a single page. When I open the book, the left and right sides of the page together show a picture. If the first page is a single page, it is equivalent to seeing half of it, and then turning it over to see the other half. No one can be so stupid. ”

Gao Hang has been an assistant for two years, and it may not be possible to let him design the name, but some small knowledge points can still be told.

"I didn't expect you to know this in addition to eating." Lu Ning said.

"Not really. I have not only fat in my stomach, but also knowledge. Gao Hang looked proud.

"In a few years, though...... 10 years at most, right? Storyboards probably won't think about that. Shen Xin speculated.

Gao Hang was stunned, "Teacher, why?" ”

This time, he didn't know the reason either.

"Technology is evolving." Shen Xin said casually, but did not explain the reason.

In fact, when the electronic version of the comic becomes mainstream, there is no longer the problem of turning pages, which will simplify a lot of processes, and the skills of single and double pages will not be used. However, cartoonists who aspire to publish a single book still have to consider these factors.

The past few years may well be the last glory of paper magazines, and when the digital version of the comic appears, it will change a lot of things, and storyboarding is one of them.

Of course, if you want manga apps to become mainstream, you need to popularize smartphones and tablets first, and it will take some time for this world to happen.

After dinner, the group returned to the studio, Shen Xin handed the original manuscript with the ink line to Gao Hang, Gao Hang picked up the hair dryer and dried the ink line of the original.

Shen Xin also knows that from this issue onwards, he must do his best, otherwise, even with the blessing of "I"s", he may not be able to win this year's newcomer award.

However, the reality is more grim than he imagined.

The next day, Comic Future's Weibo released the sales of "Hunting the Abyss", with 50,000 copies on the first day, which is not at a disadvantage compared to "Punishment".

Of course, part of the reason is that it has just passed the Spring Festival, and students have New Year's money in their hands, but even so, it is still an exaggerated achievement to have 50,000 sales on the first day.

In the next few days, the trend of "Hunting Abyss" is still good, with 100,000 on the third day and 250,000 in the first week.

In the section of the comic network forum "Comic Future", most of the space is devoted to discussing the single book of "Hunting Abyss".

"The 'Royal Road' comic is just different." Shen Xin took the single book of "Hunting the Abyss" and read "Hunting the Abyss" again.

Ye Hexu's painting skills are not outstanding, but they complement each other well with "Hunting Abyss". Moreover, the storyboard of this manga is very smooth, which makes it natural to read it.

However, "Hunting the Abyss" is not flawless, and although his storyboard is smooth, the movements of the characters during the fight are a little stiff. In addition, even the storyboard during the fight is also very flattering, and many times, the protagonist swings his sword in one square, and the next youkai is killed.

Such a benefit is that it can enhance the forcing of the protagonist. grid, but the shortcomings are also obvious, some of the fighting process, need the reader's brain to make up.

Regardless, "Hunting the Abyss" became one of the hottest manga of February.

The reason why I say "one" is because "Manga Fly" also released a single book of the signature "Dream Eater", which is an urban fantasy about the protagonist who can freely enter other people's dreams and discover each other's thoughts through it. The sales volume of this single book in the first week of sale was 680,000 copies.

"Teacher Shen, are you stressed?" Gao Hang put the drawn manuscript in the corner, turned around and asked Shen Xin.

"Of course it's big. 250,000 copies in the first week...... I don't know when "Y's" will reach this sales. Shen Xin closed the single book of "Hunting Abyss" and was a little depressed.

"I said, Mr. Shen, it's better to worry about us than to worry about others. "Y's" was scolded by netizens again. When Lu Ning was copying the manuscript, he glanced at the webpage twice, and the Yunhai comic forum had already fallen into a heated discussion.
