Shen Xin rubbed his chin, puzzled by Shang Haozhi's change in attitude.

Anyway, he just painted casually, and he didn't grasp the essence of Ken Obata's painting style, and Shen Xin didn't care much about the sketches in the album.

However, Shang Haozhi watched it with relish, and after reading the six or seven pages of sketches, Shang Haozhi reluctantly closed the album.

"Teacher Shen, I want this work."

"Huh? Here's the sketch. Shen Xin reminded.

"When are you going to draw the name?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"I'm not going to draw." Shen Xin shook his head.

He doesn't know how to play Go, although he has "Chess Soul" to draw, but after the painting is made, others ask him about his knowledge of Go, isn't that revealing?

This kind of "self-detonation" thing is resolutely not done.

"Why?" Shang Haozhi was surprised, "Aren't you already ready to paint?" ”

Shen Xin rolled his eyes depressedly, which ear did you hear what I was going to paint? I studied the painting style of "Chess Soul".

"That...... I don't know Go, I don't know anything about it. Shen Xin explained.

"I see that your chess posture is quite accurate." Shang Haozhi was surprised.

"Chess Soul" is also supervised by professional chess players, can it be inaccurate?

"Ahem...... I read the picture from the Internet. Shen Xin was a little depressed, and he could be cared about by anyone who drew two pictures, "By the way, Mr. Shang, why are you suddenly interested in this aspect?" ”

Shang Haozhi took out a cigarette and just wanted to light it, but Wang Wenhong pulled his clothes, coughed dryly, and put it away.

"There are two reasons, on the one hand, the atmosphere of Go in China is low. You must know that Go originated in China and has a long history, but in recent years, it has rarely won in the world. Many people are disappointed in Go. If there is a comic related to Go at this time, it may be able to arouse everyone's interest in "Go". ”

"The best player in Go right now is from Han Guo?" Shen Xin was surprised.

"yes. That's why I'm even more angry. Shang Haozhi crossed his fingers and looked gloomy.

It seems that Shang Haozhi is also a Go enthusiast, at least he cares more about the game of Go.

"In addition, there is another aspect, pressure from the market." Shang Haozhi sighed.

"Huh? What does this have to do with the market? Shen Xin became more and more puzzled.

"There are different categories of comics, including hot-blooded, suspenseful, love, everyday, sports, ...... Domestic comics are relatively good in other aspects, but there are not too many manga in sports. Shang Haozhi's voice was low, "If it is a regular sport, such as football and basketball, many cartoonists can't reach it." ”

Shen Xin bowed slightly, this is true.

Because this kind of comics is closer to reality, the author is required to have strong drawing skills, not only in the characters, scenes and many other aspects have extremely high requirements, but more importantly, in the action.

There are also those who would argue that any manga has action. This is true, but other comics emphasize the action itself, but the requirements for body muscles are not as high as those of sports.

When a person does any action, not only the skeleton is moving, but also involves the change of muscles, other comics do not emphasize these too much because they are covered by clothes, but sports comics will expose parts of the body, such as limbs, and coherent movements, will involve changes in muscles, which will test the drawing skills of the cartoonist.

Before the crossing, the quality of sports comics in District 11 was also uneven, but "Slam Dunk" was undoubtedly the top batch of comics. The reason for this is not only because of its ups and downs of the plot, but also because of Inoue's superb painting skills.

One of the reasons why every game can make readers feel enthusiastic and immersive is the realism shown in the picture, which greatly enhances the expressiveness of the picture, especially the muscle collision caused by the physical contact of the athletes, which is realistically depicted by Inoue Yuhiko with a brush.

Other sports cartoonists rarely draw this effect.

"But even if that's the case, the magazine should be looking for a cartoonist, right?" Shen Xin was puzzled, "If it's really like what you said, the market gap is so big." ”

"Because of this piece, we were hit by the District 11 comics. Since the movement manga of District 11 has not started to be serialized in China, many publishing houses are introducing single books. Of course, it is not ruled out that "MangaFly" will be introduced in the future. Like fantasy comics, we have "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Fu Youzhi", which can be sold abroad, and if "Y's" is published in "ComicFuture", there is also a chance to sell in the 11th district, but sports manga is always vacant.

"And some other sports, if you want to get started and understand, it is a little difficult. Therefore, the quality of the story will determine the performance of this type of comic. Therefore, domestic cartoonists rarely choose this type of comics. There are quite a few in the 11th area, such as mountain bikes, racing cars, chess and cards...... Baseball is a special case, after all, it is very popular in District 11, but not many people in China pay attention to it, so it cannot compete with the painters of District 11.

"I know you can choose other manga magazines besides ComicFuture, but if you go to MangaFly, you're going to compete with players from District 11 or even Hankook, and Semimonthly Leap doesn't have the same style as you, so they need color drafts. As for the magazines of "Manzhou Weekly", although the sales are okay, the influence is indeed not as good as the three major magazines. This can be seen from the animation of "Y's". If "Y's" is published in "ComicFuture", the animation rights will definitely start at 3 million. ”

"Is it that high?" Shen Xin was surprised.

"There are also overseas markets. It's not that I'm boasting, but among all the comic magazines in China, "ComicFuture" has the strongest ability to export comics abroad, and "MangaFly" has the strongest ability to import foreign comics. So, please be sure to think about it. Shang Haozhi said seriously.

Shen Xin leaned on the sofa and also fell into long thoughts.

To be honest, after the contract expired, "ComicFuture" was very sincere, after all, the editor-in-chief deliberately ran from Hongchuan to the sea of clouds, and not every cartoonist has this kind of treatment.

"But I really don't know Go." Shen Xin frowned, he didn't even know how many rows and columns of Go to draw Go comics.

"Huh?" Shang Haozhi's mouth opened slightly, he said so much in vain just now?

Suddenly, he felt his throat slightly dry, so he picked up Wang Wenhong's unopened bottle of Coke and took a few sips.

"That's a pity...... Wang Wenhong looked at the sketches in his sketchbook, "I really think your painting style is quite suitable for Go." ”

"But I always felt like something was missing from the painting." Shen Xin shook his head and said.

"There are indeed some, and the momentum in the painting is more shown by the effect line." Wang Wenhong agreed with Shen Xin's words, "But a comic is so long, you can't always rely on the effect line." In this case, the picture will be very monotonous. ”

Shen Xin nodded, agreeing with Wang Wenhong's statement.

"Missing something?" Shang Haozhi hurriedly took the sketch, flipped through it carefully, and snapped his fingers, "I know." ”

"What is the reason?" Shen Xin hurriedly asked.

"Gas!" Shang Haozhi said categorically, "In your painting, there is a lack of qi!" ”
