Wang Wenhong informed Li Jie in the evening that he should come to the editorial office of "Comic Future", and the two went to Shen Xin's studio together.

As soon as the words ended, a cheer rang out from the microphone.

Are you so happy?

Wang Wenhong's mind was full of question marks.

After the two converged, they took the subway and came to Shen Xin's studio.

Along the way, although Li Jie didn't talk much, his complexion was obviously much better, and this time, he was not only holding an original manuscript, but carrying a schoolbag.

As for what was in the bag, I'm afraid few people knew it except himself.

Wang Wenhong knocked on the door of the studio, and Gao Hang opened the door and led the two people into the house.

"Is Mr. Shen still working?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"Hmm. Second floor. Gao Hang pointed upstairs, then returned to his seat, looking down to draw the background.

Li Jie came to Shen Xin's studio for the first time, and at first glance, he was a little surprised.

"Let's go." Wang Wenhong turned around and urged Li Jie, who was looking left and right.

Li Jie hurriedly followed Wang Wenhong to the second floor.

Seeing that Shen Xin was still painting with his head down, Wang Wenhong motioned for Li Jie to sit on the sofa first, but Li Jie just put his backpack on the ground but did not sit down.

Wang Wenhong walked to Shen Xin's side and saw that he was blackening with a brush, so he didn't make a sound.

When Shen Xin put down the brush, Wang Wenhong said, "Li Jie is here." ”

"Oh."

Shen Xin wiped the ink on his hands, then sat up straight, saw Li Jie standing next to the sofa, and nodded slightly.

Li Jie also nodded slightly, smiling all over his face.

"Where's Xiaohan?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"In the room, I'm writing a manuscript." Shen Xin said.

"By the way, why don't you let Xiaohan go to "Qichuang Library"? For the sake of your face, Bao Dong will definitely want everyone to promote it. ”

"Xiaohan is also good in "The Softest Whisper". Without the help of others, we also achieved good results. So, why borrow someone else's power? Besides, Yishu culture has a high reputation in the comic industry, but in terms of lightness, it is almost five or five years old with "The Lightest Language", right? Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

Wang Wenhong thought about it, this is also true.

As the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains.

Although comics and light are both books, the sales of "Qichuang Library" are not stable to win "The Lightest Whisper".

Whatever? Anyway, Shen Xin is now in "Comic Future", which is enough.

"Long time no see." Shen Xin walked up to Li Jie and said softly.

"It's been a long time...... Missing. Li Jie was a little incoherent, "Last time, I'm really sorry. I haven't met you, so I'm talking a little abruptly. ”

"It's fine. I think you're right. Although I know all the things you said, other newcomers may be able to use them. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Shen Xin feels that Li Jie is much more low-key than at the beginning of the year.

Li Jie suddenly had a feeling of seeing a confidant.

"Sit down, don't be too restrained." Shen Xin waved his hand and motioned for Li Jie and Wang Wenhong to sit down, while he went downstairs to get three bottles of Coke and handed them to Li Jie and Wang Wenhong.

"Okay, what's the matter with me." Shen Xin took a sip of Coke and looked at Li Jie puzzled.

"That's ......" Li Jie hurriedly put down the Coke, opened his backpack, and took out two large envelopes from it, "Teacher, take a look at the two manuscripts, which one is better." ”

Shen Xin took the big envelope, took out the original manuscript, and quickly skimmed through it.

Both comics are called "The Value of Time", at first Shen Xin thought that there were two stories in the same background, that is, the same series of comics.

However, when he finished reading the first manuscript, the second manuscript was less than ten pages long, and he realized that the two manuscripts were about the same thing, but the structure of the comics and the storyboards were different.

Knowing this, Shen Xin immediately read the two manuscripts in their entirety.

Li Jie looked at Shen Xin nervously, and hurriedly asked, "Teacher, how is it?" ”

"How's it going......" Shen Xin scratched his head, a little difficult to speak.

If the person who read this manuscript was Ye Hexu, maybe he wouldn't be so embarrassed, and he would have been killed in two words.

This is not to say that these two manuscripts are useless and incapable of being published in magazines, but that after drawing cartoons for such a long time, it is inevitable that the vision will be higher.

"Just looking at these two manuscripts, I recommend the first one." Shen Xin tapped the manuscript on the table.

"The first one?" Li Jie hurriedly asked, "Isn't the second copy better?" ”

"The second part is good, just judging from the painting skills. But the structure and storyboard are not as good as the first. Shen Xin rubbed his chin, "I really can't figure it out, why do short comics have to set such a complex background?" ”

"I think it's a very new theme." Li Jie hurriedly said.

"That's true, it's really new. But you also have to know that comics ...... No, as long as it's a work, don't set it at the beginning. Readers don't have much of an eye for your premise. Moreover, there are too many words of dialogue, and the reader will look uncomfortable. A dialog box should not exceed three lines, and a maximum of six or seven words per line. ”

"However, the background needs to be introduced, and I always have to let the reader know a thing or two, right?"

"Refining words. Use as few words as possible and express as many languages as possible. Unless necessary, such as reasoning, or explaining class text, don't let too many words appear in a dialog box, and the reader will be tired to watch. Moreover, the entry of this manga is too slow. ”

In any work, the beginning is very crucial.

Even the anime has to show its selling point in the first three episodes, not to mention the comics.

Even before he crosses over, the web has grown to the golden chapter, that is, in the first chapter, there will be conflicts or story highlights.

"But the background should also be introduced, right?" Li Jie hurriedly asked.

"Yes, that's why I think it's more like this to eat a manga with a setting, and it's not suitable for just drawing a word...... The background of the comic book is best interspersed with the story when it is narrated. ”

Li Jie nodded, "Actually, Mr. Shen should be able to see that these two comics are a story." The first was a manga that was published in Shonen Future. ”

"Then why did you draw a second manga?" Shen Xin was puzzled.

"I didn't think I was worse than Luo Zheng, so I asked a ...... Teacher. He gave me some advice. Li Jie rubbed his hands uneasily.

"Who is Luo Zheng?" Shen Xin heard this name for the first time.

"It was the first place in the short comic contest in the first half of the year." Li Jie hurriedly explained, took out a copy of "Young Future" from his schoolbag, turned to one of the pages, and handed it to Shen Xin, "This is his comic." ”

Shen Xin glanced at the comics, and the name was "Becoming a Sister After Waking Up".

Just by looking at the name, you know that it is a transformation manga.

In fact, there are still a lot of transformation comics on the earth, such as "Ranma", "Yamada and the Seven Witches", not to mention the Internet, which supports half of the two-dimensional original.

This kind of comic also has its own advantages, first of all, it is quick to get into the topic. The beginning of the comic tells the reader the selling point of the story, and secondly, there is no need to explain the lengthy background, because even if you don't explain it, the reader can know it.

For the rest, as long as there's a good story.

Shen Xin hadn't read much of the transformation text, but it didn't affect his judgment of the comics, and after reading Luo Zheng's comics, Shen Xin returned the magazine to Li Jie.

"I'm sorry, your comics are really not as good as Luo Zheng's. In other words, judging from these two comics, Luo Zheng's understanding of comics is better than yours. Shen Xin said.
