This conversation with Qiu Qian gave Wei Mao a clearer understanding of his situation.

In short, there will be very few people who can help him, and there will be very few people who can even discuss this issue.

Wei Mao sat in his chair, tilting his head and looking at the ceiling, but his mind was spinning fast.

He currently has only two paths to take.

One is to pretend that you don't know anything.

But when he thought of so much money being swept away by Fan Yinmo, Wei Mao's heart was a little smooth.

It's not that he is unwilling to pay some money to Fan Yinmo, after all, Fan Yinmo has spent too much energy for him and "A Warm House", but the problem is that Fan Yinmo took too much money.

The second is to be honest with Fan Yinmo and say his thoughts.

In either way, it's a mutually friendly choice.

Of course, if he really chooses to be honest, he must be prepared with both hands.

The two sides were able to sit down and negotiate quietly, and the best outcome was that Wei Mao raised the price while he continued to serialize.

Otherwise, it is the other extreme, the two sides are deadlocked, and "Warm Full House" is over.

This requires him to put more thought into the creation of the name, and a story can develop in two directions, which can not only continue the serialization, but also make the story end.

If he wants to do that, he'll need to plan it well.

And if it really doesn't work, he has to think of a new name and serialize it on other platforms.

After sorting out the relationship, Wei Mao took a deep breath, but he didn't dare to relax in his heart

The game with Fan Yinmo has just begun.

As for how to find the bifurcation point between the comic serialization and the end, Wei Mao vaguely remembered that "Y's" seemed to have a similar plot, and at that time, he also thought that "Y's" was about to end, but the story was only half told.

It looks like I'm really going to watch "Y's" again.

After thinking about it, Wei Mao found the app of Duoman.com.

At the time, he subscribed to the comic with the crowd, and now it seems that it is really wise.

Wei Mao refreshed his spirits and began to read "Y's".

……

"SLAM DUNK" is still the most popular manga in China, and after the release of the 28th volume of the single book, it sold more than one million copies in a single week, far behind other comics in China.

Shen Xin's daily work is also very monotonous, drawing comics is the thing he spends the most time on, in addition, the news that Ye Hexu has a child also makes Shen Xin understand that he can't drag it out like this anymore.

So, if nothing else, he would choose to rest when the day's work was done.

Xi Muhan is no longer as anxious as before, although he is thinking about name every day, but his mentality is maintained very well. According to Yan Fei, the name of Xi Muhan's latest comic has been recreated, and it is estimated that he will wait until the first three episodes are all drawn, and then let him read it.

That's actually a good idea.

1 word does have a certain possibility, to judge the potential of a piece, after all, the Internet also has a golden three chapters, not to mention comics. But if there are three names, it is easier for Shen Xin to grasp the whole of the comics.

If the quality of the name Xi Muhan brought is good, even if there are some minor flaws, it can be discussed before using it, otherwise, he can only make major changes.

At this time, a guest suddenly came to the studio, and this guest was also unexpected by Shen Xin - Lu Yingxue.

Since Lu Yingxue did not make an appointment, it was Xia Luo who led her.

Considering that the name of another has not yet been disclosed, it is inconvenient for Shen Xin to say too much to Xia Luoduo, and Xia Luo left in a hurry after sending Lu Yingxue to the studio.

In her words, Magi is now short of manpower, and she has to hurry back to help.

As for what Magi is busy with, it is not difficult for Shen Xin to guess that the production of "Gate of Destiny Stone 0" must be indispensable, and then it is a mobile game commissioned by Zhenyu Technology.

As a game company, Magi had to have experience in making mobile games.

On Earth, not only Huaxia's game companies are good at producing mobile games, but also some major game companies in District 11, such as SE, hold major well-known IPs in their hands, but they are keen to fry cold rice, and at the same time, it is also a major mobile game manufacturer.

With the development of games, it is foreseeable that mobile games will become more and more important for game companies.

As for Lu Yingxue, of course, she didn't visit Magi for no reason.

Shen Xin was only responsible for the vertical painting of "Gate of Destiny Stone 0", and the original painting was taken care of by others. As an experienced game producer, Lu Yingxue must understand how important the game graphics are to galgame.

In fact, before "The Demon King's Tutor" ended, Magi had already contacted Lu Yingxue, and after the comic ended, Lu Yingxue also officially gave a positive answer.

After a two-week break, he got involved in the production of Destiny Stone Gate 0.

Due to the fact that "Gate of Destiny Stone 0" requires too many original game paintings, Lu Yingxue is more of a painting supervisor, checking the overall quality of the original manuscript and proposing revisions, and in some key places, he will personally draw the color paintings of "Gate of Destiny Stone 0".

After visiting Magi and submitting his sketches, he made a request to meet with Shen Xin.

After contacting Shen Xin, Ji Yinxuan asked Xia Luo to send Lu Yingxue to Shen Xin's studio upstairs.

"Teacher Shen, long time no see." When Lu Yingxue saw Shen Xin, she said such a sentence from the bottom of her heart.

The only occasion for the two of them to have a chance to meet is the annual meeting of "Comic Future", but every time the annual meeting, Shen Xin is surrounded by many people, and even if Lu Yingxue has the opportunity to speak, the time is only about 5 minutes, which is definitely not as convenient as visiting Shen Xin in the studio.

"It's been a long time, it's been ...... lately Actually, I've been a little busy all the time, and I don't even ......have time to meet other cartoonists," Shen Xin sighed as he led Lu Yingxue to the rest area of the studio.

Xi Muhan brought a bottle of soda to each person, and then sat next to Shen Xin.

Lu Yingxue was like a student, took the soda, didn't unscrew it, and put it directly on the coffee table.

He is very famous in the illustration circle, but compared to Shen Xin, he is too bad.

"Mr. Lu, I read your Weibo, saying that you will no longer create comics in the future, can you really let it go? Obviously, the results of "Demon King Tutor" are not bad. Wang Wenhong was puzzled.

"Spare me, won? My heart can't stand it. Lu Yingxue hurriedly waved her hand, "When I didn't draw comics, I always envied cartoonists, as long as they drew good works, there would be discussion, but illustrations are different, even if they are my most proud illustrations, they can only be discussed in one circle." But in the past few years, after I became a cartoonist, I suddenly realized that cartoonists and illustrators are completely different professions. ”

"Of course. Illustration emphasizes more skill, and comics emphasize storytelling. Wang Wenhong said.

""The Demon King's Tutor" has an original work, so I don't feel very strongly in this regard. What stresses me out is the deadline. ”

The rest of the room immediately showed clear expressions.

Deadline, translated into Chinese, is the deadline date.

The contradiction between cartoonists and editors lies in this place.

If the cartoonist can't finish the drawing on time, he or she has to "open. Skylight", this is a very hurtful thing for the magazine, and the magazine must find a comic that can be replaced.

To avoid this, editors try their best to get the cartoonist to finish the original.

In "Dream Eater", Hiramaru Kazuya often wanted to delay the manuscript, and Koji Yoshida, who served as its editor-in-charge, tried all kinds of ways to get Hiramaru to finish the manuscript before the deadline arrived.

It is said that the prototype of Hiramaru Kazuya is an old thief, both of whom are manga geniuses, and the first manga can become popular, and both of them marry Mei. Female cartoonists, and more importantly, both of them are masters of procrastination.

As a responsible editor, unless it is due to force majeure, he will never allow cartoonists to delay their manuscripts, and cartoonists cannot deliver their manuscripts on time due to lazy cancer, physical condition and many other reasons.

In short, the contradiction between the two has always existed.

There is no deadline for general webtoons, but "The Demon King's Tutor", as a fist product of light reading, will definitely be supervised.

Lu Yingxue should have received "love" from the editor.

"Actually, deadline is not the most difficult for me to accept. What I hate the most is the pressure from all sides on cartoonists. And this pressure will be there from the beginning of the serialization until the end of the manga. These pressures are brought by readers, comic achievements, public opinion, and even readers discussing the plot, and bugs can be found from all over the place. Illustrations don't have these problems.,As long as the quality of the original art is OK.,There won't be too much criticism.。 ”

Shen Xin was silent.

Lu Yingxue's complaint is precisely the dilemma that cartoonists must face.

This pressure, from the first episode to the end, will always exist, it is a long-lasting, and unrelieved pressure, and illustrators will indeed be much better in this regard because a single work is not as long as a manga serialization.

If Lu Yingxue considers these two aspects, the difference between an illustrator and a cartoonist is really big.
