Chapter 385: "Poison" and "Immortal Grass"
"Mountain God" is a fairy tale comic.
A child who grew up in the city followed his parents to the countryside for the first time.
Sanitation and accommodation are not used to it, and children have no good feelings about the countryside.
"Go to bed early, or the mountain god will catch you." The grandmother in the countryside said to the child.
The child didn't believe it.
In the middle of the night, the child came out of the house, but unexpectedly saw a fox running in front of his eyes. The child trotted all the way, followed the fox, ran out of the door, and into the mountains.
So, he entered another world, where everywhere was full of fantasy.
Talking foxes, snakes, squirrels, and moving plants make children feel like they're in a dream.
He was playing with the animals, but the sky was raining heavily, and he could only hide under the huge leaves of the trees to carry the rain, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, he was sitting in the courtyard with a sore back, surrounded by no talking animals and no fantasy world.
……
The story is simple and the plot is bland.
Shen Xin likes the cartoonist's painting style, which looks simple and makes him feel very comfortable.
This is also why Shen Xin said that he likes this comic, but he does not represent the market, and he can clearly feel that this comic is difficult to be recognized by the market.
"The problem with Mountain God is that it doesn't reach the level of acclaim, and it doesn't attract a large number of readers. It is said that it is not a commercial comic, but it has a compromise with commercial comics, but the compromise is not thorough enough, and the story is too bland and there are no waves. That's why we're in the current situation. But for readers who like a slow pace, it's actually not bad to read such comics, you don't need to bring too much, you just need to think about the story itself. ”
Shen Xin said his understanding.
For the same theme, cartoonists have different angles.
This has also resulted in a lot of comics that seem similar, but are actually different.
If Shen Xin was asked to draw this cartoon, he would definitely not draw it like this.
Before creating, he must go through market research to know what type of comics readers like before he starts writing.
It's a utilitarian approach, but for most cartoonists, survival comes first.
Some people may enter this circle with dreams, but after entering, they will find that they have to face a problem called survival.
That's why some cartoonists are gamblers.
Unless you can live on the work for a lifetime, otherwise, even if there is a big hit, the author still has to worry about whether the next work will be a hit.
Wang Wenhong sighed, "It seems that he is old." ”
"Why do you say that?" Shen Xin said curiously.
"Because, I like this kind of comic more now, eh...... The mind can relax. Wang Wenhong was a little frustrated.
"But you should also know that such a work can't be a big seller." Shen Xin stretched his waist, "Besides, reading is a very personal thing, haven't you heard of, 'His poison, my fairy grass'?" ”
"Nope." Wang Wenhong frowned slightly, and slowly recalled the words "poison" and "fairy grass", which were indeed very similar to reading.
At this time, Xi Muhan came out of the kitchen, ran to the open space on the first floor, and said upstairs: "Brother Xin, Brother Wang, come down to eat." ”
"So fast?" Shen Xin was a little surprised, he wanted to draw this manuscript first, but it seemed that he could only talk about it after dinner.
Wang Wenhong touched his nose and smiled, "Successfully rubbed rice." ”
Shen Xin glanced at Wang Wenhong angrily, you just have a dream.
However, Xiaohan's cooking skills are indeed very high.
At least, Shen Xin thinks that he will not be able to reach Xiaohan's level in his life.
After the meal, Wang Wenhong left, the assistant continued to work, and Shen Xin also picked up the pressure pen and drew the words "The Distress of the Alchemist".
Xi Muhan sat opposite Shen Xin, looked at Shen Xin who was drawing the original manuscript for a while, and wrote a few words on the office software, and found that these words were not what she wanted.
"Who came with Lu Ning today is her editor-in-charge?"
"Hmm." Xi Muhan nodded.
"National Journey"...... What do you think? ”
"It's still being discussed." Xi Muhan took a deep breath, "'Girls' Century' is the most likely. It's just that the volume of this magazine is not as large as "Manga Fly", even if it ranks first in "Girls' Century", its fame in the market is still limited. The situation is similar with "The Whisperest". However, for the time being, this can only be done. ”
"Just write what you want to write. Magazines are just a link between you and your readers, and in the future, you may not need this bond. ”
Shen Xin lowered his head, the pressure-sensitive strokes were on the pen screen, and Nina and Alexander appeared under the pen.
It depends on how much the network can have an impact on the light.
Xi Muhan was confused, he wanted to speak and stopped, and when he saw Shen Xin bowing his head and painting, the doubts in his heart were put in his heart again.
……
"Carbon Mine City" is not a big plot, so "Steel Refining FA" omitted this sentence, but this sentence has a certain place in the early and late stages.
In this sentence, the reader clearly sees a message that although the "national alchemist" can have a lot of resources, some people are very disgusted with the "national alchemist" and call it "the lackey of the army".
"Alchemists are at the service of everyone, selling their souls to the army in exchange for all kinds of privileges, such alchemists will never be forgiven."
In particular, people who live on carbon mines are also affected by the military. oppression, these people have a deeper dislike for the "national alchemist".
The publication of the third episode also made readers wonder if Edward would really be in cahoots with the army.
However, there is another message in this sentence that makes the reader intrigued, that is, Edward and Master Alyou.
When watching the two people mention the master, sweating profusely and looking honestly afraid, the reader has an intuitive impression of this master - their teacher is definitely a very scary person.
According to the current plot, in a short time, this "terrifying" master should not appear.
In a way, this is also a manga routine. Since he is a teacher, he should be the killer feature of the protagonist, and it is impossible to come out until the critical time.
The end of "City of Carbon Mine" is in the fourth episode.
Rather than relying on violence or the privileges of an alchemist to deal with the domineering and insatiable Lieutenant Yuki, as in other comics, Edward used his intellect to overcome his opponents, and the two brothers settled the entire incident without even making a move.
Can hot-blooded comics still be played like this?
The reader's eyes were shocked, but they had to admit that the arrangement of "Steel Forged" had a new idea.
This pair of brothers is not the same as the protagonist they often see.
