817 Style & Rhythm
Yan Fei smiled bitterly, if he found an author like Ye Hexu, Yu Chen would not consider cooperating with "Qichuang Library".
The reason why he is passive now is precisely because of the lack of good works.
Of course, there will definitely be people who say that Shen Xin and Ye Hexu are both winners of the Newcomer Award at the Comics Festival, so wouldn't it be okay to find a cartoonist who won the Newcomer Award?
The reality is that before the "Golden Brush" came out, the "Comics Festival" did have gold content, but after the author's diversion, many cartoonists had contracts with Duoman.com, and even if these people performed well in the "Comics Festival", it was unlikely that "Comic Future" would want to dig up.
"So...... No solution? Lu Ning also asked.
Shen Xin thought about it and decided to make his words clear.
Although there are many irrationalities in the contract of "Comic Future", it is after all a benchmark in the domestic comic circle, and if it falls, it will not necessarily be a good thing for cartoonists.
Now, with Duoman.com, there is a place for unambitious cartoonists.
"It's the same comic magazine, why is Comic Future better than other comic magazines? Whether it's a new reader or an old reader, why do you habitually buy Comic Future? Again, the same sentence, style. Top comic magazines, including Shonen Leap, must have a set style. Readers buy magazines because they want to see what they like. ”
To apply the Internet, the website that focuses on the house text has its style, and the website of the infinite text also needs unlimited types, and the main site text, such as a certain point, the readers are different from other websites.
To put it in more detail, it's also a cool article, and there is a difference between the infinite text and the main site article, and the author uses the technique of pretending to be x and slapping his face, and on different websites, there will be different ways to write it.
"Since the inception of "Comic Future", it has already had its own comic style, blood, friendship, and dreams...... In fact, it's very similar to Shonen Leap, and that's why readers love Comic Future. Shen Xin took a long breath, "I said it more bluntly, compared with the original comics, the pace of light comics is slower. ”
When Wang Wenhong heard this, he suddenly realized.
"Light is the flow of dialogue, a lot of space is on talking, and the fights that readers are keen to see will occupy even less space. It's even half a page...... From this point of view, the styles of the two really don't match. ”
There are a lot of dialogues, and in a sense, it does slow down the pace of the story.
"That's why I said that this kind of combination is best paired with high-level cartoonists, who want to tell the picture that the reader wants to see. If you are a newcomer or a cartoonist of average level, they may not even be able to control the storyboard, let alone modify the name created by the artist. More often, the light family has to design the plot from the perspective of the comic book reader, not the reader, which requires a change of thinking. Shen Xin added.
When Xi Muhan heard this, he suddenly remembered something, "Brother, you asked me to read the "Comic Future" magazine in recent years just to get me used to the creative thinking of a cartoonist. ”
"That's right." Shen Xin nodded, turned back to look at Yan Fei again, "If the magazine has another new editor, it is almost certain that the new book will be pounced." ”
When Yan Fei heard this, she also understood the reason in Shen Xin's words, the focus of light and comics was different.
The text is not as intuitive as the picture.
Text sometimes takes hundreds of words to express the content clearly, and the picture only needs a storyboard to get it, especially for descriptive text.
"Teacher Shen, is there a better way?" Yan Fei asked.
"Hey, what does Yan Fei think? Teacher Shen can't be more detailed, right? Is this cultivating their own opponents? Wang Wenhong asked.
With Shen Xin's strength, no matter which platform he goes to in the future, the salary will not be low, and there is no need to find an opponent for himself.
"I'm still the editor in charge of "Comic Future", and I have to think about how to make "Ding Shi" finish smoothly. Besides, won't Xiaohan be serialized in "Comic Future" in the future? One more big platform is good after all, right? Yan Fei asked.
Wang Wenhong was about to refute, but when he saw Shen Xin waving his hand, he didn't say anything.
"It's not that there is no way. Either take advantage of the light, or, match the light family with a powerful cartoonist. Shen Xin reminded.
"What are the advantages of being light? Conversation, right? Yan Fei asked.
"Hmm. You can choose a comic that focuses on dialogue, such as a cult manga like DN. But one thing to say, if you want to find a pillar-level evil comic, it is difficult to meet but not find. Otherwise, find a cartoonist with a relatively high level, such as Mr. Luo Zheng. ”
Yan Fei shook her head again and again, it was strange that Luo Zheng was willing to cooperate with others.
However, Shen Xin's words did provide a lot of ideas.
"By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you." Shen Xin asked.
"Huh?"
"Why not bring in some foreign cartoonists, or bring in some work from Region 11, and they should be able to help Comic Future survive this time, right? Shonen Leap can bring in Steel, so it's normal for Comic Future to introduce comics from Region 11, right? ”
When Yan Fei heard this, she bowed slightly, "Yes." Tomorrow, I'll go and talk to Mr. Yu. Mr. Shen, I really helped me a lot today, can I convey your opinion to Mr. Yu? ”
"Tell him yes, but please don't reveal it to anyone else, I don't want to put up a flag. Also, as long as there is a good story, the magazine can still try it, and don't forget to say this sentence. Shen Xin admonished.
The comics of top magazines do have their own unique style, but they will also miss out on good works because of this. Just like when "Jump" rejected Isayama's short story because of the style inconsistency, but who would have thought that after many years, his "Giant" almost pulled "Pirates" from the first place in the annual sales list?
Shen Xin didn't want to be slapped in the face.
"I see, but thank you anyway." Yan Fei solemnly thanked her.
A few people chatted for a while, Yan Fei, Xi Muhan, and Lu Ning went downstairs to discuss the name of "Ding Shi", while Wang Wenhong moved his position and sat next to Shen Xin.
"Teacher Shen, why did you tell her these things? Truth be told, if you do this, it's easy for Comic Future to find a high-quality comic. At that point, our advantage may be gone. Don't forget, you're going to have to rest for a long time. Wang Wenhong lowered his voice, but spoke quickly.
Shen Xin smiled, "I can tell what is in my favor." Actually, the current situation is the most beneficial to me, even if the next work is not the highest-grossing comic in China, it doesn't hurt. But if the market for paper books shrinks too much, whether it's a magazine or a single book market, it's not necessarily a good thing for me. ”
"Now the paper market is already shrinking." Wang Wenhong reminded.
"I know. But the current situation has limited impact on me, and I am not in a hurry. But ......," Shen Xin turned his head to look at Wang Wenhong, "the Internet not only affects the reading habits of readers, but also may affect the way cartoonists create, and it is not only a cartoonist who is affected." Besides, if there is a high-quality manga serial, it is also a good thing for us, and it is good to try to win them. ”
Wang Wenhong's eyelids jumped, and for a while, he really couldn't think of any impact the Internet had on the creation of cartoonists.
"By the way, Brother Wang, accompany me to Hongchuan tomorrow to take a look."
"Yes. Something? ”
"Well, take a look at what nice houses are in Hongchuan. There are so many things to do during this time of rest. ”
Don't you have a house?
Wang Wenhong almost blurted out this sentence.
Then, an idea appeared in his mind, Shen Xin definitely wanted a house for him and Xi Muhan - getting married in the studio didn't seem to be suitable.
