Chapter 409: Chance Encounter
Because of the smooth storyboarding, Wang Wenhong is full of curiosity about the whole work.
As the editor-in-charge, he is well aware of the importance of name to a work, and he also knows that name only needs to tell the story clearly, and painting skills are not very important.
Wang Wenhong quickly took a look at the name of "Holy Martial Arts Academy" and roughly read the plot inside.
Looking at this alone, it is certainly not accurate to say that it is better than a few of Comic Future's signature manga, or has reached the level of signature manga, but it also has advantages.
First of all, the setting is simple, and the reader does not need to spend most of his energy researching the setting.
In the first episode, the background is that the Holy Martial Arts Academy is a martial arts-oriented school that aims to compete for the ultimate prize of $100 million.
For this ultimate goal, the trainees began to train and fight to the death.
The setting is simple and easy to understand.
For the setting party, a good setting is the first element to attract them to watch comics, but for ordinary readers, a good story is the most important.
Whether the setting is complex or not, in the final analysis, it is all in the service of the story.
If you don't need a complicated setting, you can draw a good story, which is also a way for manga artists.
It's just that the two types of comics may have two different groups of readers in the future.
Like "Steel Forge", if you want to understand it, you need a certain threshold, you have to understand alchemy, equivalent exchange, truth and doors, and you also need the center of the comics against the war, while "Shengwu Academy" is very simple, there is no brainstem between the characters, and the author does have a set on the storyboard, so although it is a name drawn with a pencil, it still feels "cool".
But, because of this, there is no place to dig deep into this type of manga, it is probably similar to fast food in food, right?
Does fast food manga have anything to do with whether it's popular or not?
To be honest, no.
As long as there are readers who like it, whether the comic has connotation or not is not so important.
In addition, although "Shengwu Academy" only published a name, there is one thing that "Steel" cannot compare to - free.
There is no need to spend money, no forum coins, no cost, click on it to see the name of "Holy Martial Academy".
Maybe when there is more content in the future, the popularity of this cartoonist will definitely come up.
This guy ......
Wang Wenhong glanced at the ID of the comic author, which was "Vrille001".
What does this word mean?
Wang Wenhong's foreign language is not very good, and he has not used it for so many years, so he has long been returned to the teacher.
However, listening to netizens, this person seems to be very powerful.
The best thing about this forum is that you can use the search function without registering.
Wang Wenhong searched for the cartoonist's ID on the forum and found a two-page post. Among them, most of the posts are teaching posts, such as, how to use the net cutter, the simple application of three-point and two-point perspective, and the answers to questions from XX netizens......
After clicking on it, Wang Wenhong found that this person's answer was professional, and he even knew more than him.
Who the hell is this guy?
Wang Wenhong's mind was full of doubts.
After clicking on more than a dozen posts, he finally saw Vrille001's real drawing skills - in one post, he drew several hand-drawn and character sketches.
The male characters are also more realistic and the paintings are more regular, while the female characters are ......
"Iori?"
This was Wang Wenhong's first impression after seeing the female character, and then, he realized that her school uniform was different from Iori.
But the face shape, eyes, and brushstrokes really look like Shen Xin a few years ago, especially Shen Xin when he painted "Y's", he shouldn't have imitated Mr. Shen, right?
Wait a minute...... Imitate?
Wang Wenhong suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly searched for the meaning of Ville on the Internet. The explanation of the entry on the Internet solved his doubts.
"Vrille: Spiral; Propeller ......"
Could it be that he is the same cartoonist that Zhou Xiaoming said?
Wang Wenhong pondered for a moment and realized that this possibility was not impossible, so he found the phone and dialed Zhou Xiaoming's mobile phone.
"Hey, Brother Wang, what's the matter?"
"One thing, the Y's fanfic you mentioned earlier, the author spirals...... I'm going to read that fandom.。 ”
"However, I'm afraid I won't find ......"
"As much as you can?"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Wenhong looked at the name again.
Despite the simplicity of the setting and the fact that it doesn't seem to require a brain, it has to be said that at first glance, this name is really attractive.
It's basically impossible for this manga to become the banner of "Comic Future", but if you polish it well, it may not be a great manga.
Although it is not as good as "Steel", it should not be a problem to enter the top six.
If you can have two high-ranking comics, you should be at the top of the editors, right?
Wang Wenhong pushed the frame of his glasses, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
……
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the whole Hongchuan has become empty.
Hongchuan has a large number of immigrants, most of whom choose to return to their hometowns during the Chinese New Year, while those who do not choose to go home are happy to relax and enjoy this few comforts.
Shang Haozhi was originally going to leave Hongchuan, the tickets have been bought, and he will go home tomorrow to meet his parents, and come over early after the New Year.
Before going home, Shang Haozhi still had to visit Wang Yunze.
After all, Wang Yunze has also paid too much for "Comic Future", so he, as the editor-in-chief, should visit Wang Yunze.
So, Shang Haozhi called Jia Hui, and the two of them bought fruits and snacks.
The sedan was parked in the parking lot, and two people got out of the car.
Jia Hui walked in front with fruits, and Shang Haozhi followed closely with snacks.
"I don't know if Mr. Wang is resting today." Jia Hui said.
"Want to rest, right? Mr. Wang was not in good health, so he still had to pay attention to his body. Shang Haozhi sighed, "However, this is also a wake-up call for us, we must pay attention to the teacher's body." Otherwise, something like Mr. Wang may still happen. It's a bit of a trench and a wisdom, right? ”
"Blame me...... I don't usually notice this. Jia Hui said in frustration.
"Don't say that. Fourteen years...... This would not have been the case if it had been noticed even a few years earlier. ”
Even if Shang Haozhi said this, Jia Hui still felt deep self-reproach, raised his head, and looked at the building in front of him, Wang Yunze's studio was on the seventh floor of the building.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Shang Haozhi asked.
"Do you see...... Someone came out from Mr. Wang's work. Jia Hui pointed to the seventh floor and said in surprise.
"Huh?"
Shang Haozhi looked in the direction of Jia Hui's finger, and sure enough, two people walked out of Wang Yunze's studio.
Who will come to Wang Yunze at this time.
Shang Haozhi's heart tightened, and he watched the two people enter the elevator.
"Could it be Mr. Wang's family?"
"No, Mr. Wang's daughter is in the countryside, and his wife is with Mr. Wang...... Looking at the actions of those two people, the relationship with Teacher Wang is not too close. ”
As an editor of Mr. Wang for eight years, Jia Hui knows the interpersonal relationships around Wang Yunze well.
Just when the two of them were full of suspicion, the elevator door opened, and the two people inside walked towards the door.
Shang Haozhi and Jia Hui hurriedly walked behind the big tree on the side, and their eyes fell on the two people who came out.
The two men were a man and a woman, the man was a burly man with extremely short hair, and wore a gray trench coat on the outside and a suit on the inside. The woman, dressed in a white down sweater, followed closely behind the man.
Shang Haozhi frowned when he saw the man.
Tong Yu!? What is he doing here?
Shang Haozhi hurriedly glanced at Wang Yunze's studio again, and an ominous premonition arose.
