Chapter 904: First Contact

If in terms of the quality and storyboard of comics, ordinary cartoonists really can't draw comics at this level, and it is normal to say that it is Shen Xin's work.

Murakami looked back and forth twice, nodding his head non-stop.

If the long story had this quality, it might really fill the gap left by the departure of the beloved Yamagishi.

"That...... Editor-in-chief, how's that? Kotani asked in a low voice.

"Yes, just relying on storyboards can make people nervous, similar to the feeling of "Chess Soul". Moreover, basketball is different from Go, there are more readers, and it is easier to mobilize the emotions of readers...... Perhaps, it's really okay. By the way, who translated this manga? ”

"There's no one to translate, but that's it......" China Kotani shook his head.

Murakami's brows were furrowed, silent, but his mind was cranky.

Why...... Will this translated manuscript appear on the Internet?

Murakami couldn't think of a reason for it in a short time, but there was one point, the editor-in-chief who had ideas about Shen Xin's new work was not the only one.

Maybe "Zhou Man Top", maybe Wulin Zhi, maybe ...... Myself.

Toru Murakami is in a tangle.

……

Yu Chen and Shang Haozhi came to Shen Xin's studio as soon as they got to the end of the day, but they were shocked - the assistants told them that Shen Xin was talking to visitors on the fifth floor.

The two hurried to the fifth floor again, and while finding Shen Xin, they also saw the so-called visitors, Yuan Zhe and Qian Sheng.

These two bastards!?

Shang Haozhi's head was bruised, and as soon as he rolled up his sleeves, he was persuaded by Wang Wenhong.

There is no doubt that these two people also want to talk about Shen Xin's new work, and the price given makes Shang Haozhi secretly stunned - the electronic version of the comic starts from 20,000 per page, and the color page is multiplied by 1.5.

It's just a single copyright, that's the price, and the next single contract can be negotiated...... In China, there will definitely be no platform that can give this price.

Shen Xin's answer was more consistent, now is not the time to talk, wait a while.

The four of them stared dryly, but they were helpless.

The two platforms have each other's wins and losses in terms of strength and influence, although Duoman is not as rich as Yishu Culture and "Comic Future", but it is also a large platform nationwide, for Shen Xin, these gaps are equivalent to nothing.

And Shen Xin's reaction told the four people that this cooperation is definitely not as simple as before.

Shang Haozhi and Yu Chen looked at each other, and felt pressure in their hearts.

They also thought about cultivating other outstanding cartoonists to balance Shen Xin, but after the release of the short story yesterday, there was only one thought in the minds of the two of them, sign the contract first, and talk about other things later.

If the contract of "DN" makes them take a step back, Shen Xin and "Comic Future" are basically in a relatively fair position.

By now, Shen Xin must ask for more.

Disagree?

Yes, Shen Xin can not sign, and they may also invite another master.

But as for yesterday's 65-page sketch, no one in China could draw it, and the two of them can be sure.

It's hardβ€”

The four of them left the conference room with their own concerns.

"Just let them go?" Seeing the four people get into the car separately, Wang Wenhong turned his head to Shen Xin and said.

"If you don't let them go, you will leave them to eat?" Shen Xin rolled his eyes.

"No, I mean, at least talk to them again."

"It doesn't matter, even if there is no platform in China willing to accept our works, we have other ways to go." Shen Xin was not worried at all.

"Huh?"

"First, we can serialize it on Weibo; Second, we can even make our own website, and at that time, we can bring some cartoonists who have a good relationship, like Ye Hexu, Wang Yunze, and Lu Ning, which is also a way out, right? ”

"There's a play?"

"No play." Shen Xin shook his head, then turned his head to look at Wang Wenhong, "It's too troublesome, I'm not interested." ”

This is not a lie.

After creating the website, all works are subscribed and billed, and he doesn't spend much money at all, but being a cartoonist is not a master, even if he has a comic capsule and can remember the comics he has read, but turning the stories in his mind into comics requires a pen to draw, not to mention, the direction of reading comics in Area 11 is the opposite of Huaxia, and it is impossible to draw storyboards simply upside down, and you must use your own comic language to express these stories.

Some collapsed comics have to be recreated, the plots that do not conform to the actual situation in China have to be changed, and even the storyboards will be re-disrupted and integrated, which will take time.

What's more, time is limited, after Shen Xin finishes painting "SLAM DUNK", he will paint two more novels at most...... His time was already tight.

So, he didn't want to do it unless it was necessary.

Wang Wenhong shook his head with a wry smile, but he had to say that this was Shen Xin.

Relying on four comics, if Shen Xin doesn't squander, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and the next basketball comic, if nothing else, is also a hit.

In addition, whether it is him, Yan Fei, or his assistants, the salary is higher than that of others in the industry. Now with six assistants, he can be sure that with two or three of them, the studio will be up and running.

In the final analysis, Shen Xin wants everyone's workload to be reduced as much as possible, do a good job, and then take care of the body, that's all.

As for money, in Shen Xin's words, money is inexhaustible.

"What do we do next?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"What's next?" Shen Xin stopped in front of the elevator, "I continue to draw the name of the first three episodes of "SLAM DUNK". Negotiations are about to begin, and something decent must be presented. As for you, check the color page, and if there is no major problem, find a time to send it. ”

Wang Wenhong nodded.

65 color pages, even if there are six assistants, it is not easy to draw them in one breath in a short time, but in the past year or so, these six people have really not wasted time, Liu Ruoxing alone can be worth two people, not only fast, but also good quality.

Gao Hang is also very experienced in coloring, the speed is not as good as Liu Ruoxing, but the quality is not weak.

Even Liu Rui can complete the manuscript with high quality.

Of these, the only one who struggled was Chule. But there are also reasons, he is not only the youngest, but also the least experienced, so he is still slightly deficient in all aspects and needs to exercise again.

Not long ago, Shen Xin said to his assistants like "chicken blood" to Gao Hang and others, they definitely didn't want to be picked on by Shen Xin, and they worked hard one by one.

The 65 color pages were all completed in less than a week, which is higher than the frontispiece color pages of "Comic Future", and even if it is serialized on "Shonen Leap", there is no big problem.

Therefore, Shen Xin's requirements have been completed, and the next thing is to proofread the typos, fill in the dialogue, and if you want to upload it, it is estimated that it will not be done until tomorrow.

However, there is no rush for a while, the discussion on "Basketball Sky" on the Internet is intense, and it should be no problem to upload it tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Wang Wenhong breathed a sigh of relief and followed Shen Xin into the elevator.
