End the scattered flowers
When the last word was written, the whole person relaxed, but his heart was a little empty.
After more than a year, the book was finally written, 2.65 million words, not too much, but not too little.
In fact, I originally thought that there would not be so many words, probably around 2 million words, but I didn't expect to write so many.
As for the reason, probably because unless there is a manuscript in existence, the author is not sure about the length of one piece, just like "One Piece" was originally only intended to be serialized for five or six years, but now more than twenty years have passed.
Back to this book, the grades are not too good, the collection is more than the previous book, and the subscription is not as good as the previous book.
Actually, there was a chance to surpass it, but because of the update (I guess it's mainly this), the book didn't get a good grade.
When it comes to updates, there are actually a lot of reasons.
This book was opened in a hurry, with only 5 chapters in the manuscript, which was full of calculations, less than 20,000 words, and most of these manuscripts were used up when revising the previous plot and changing Yan Fei's name. As for why there are many obscure names, in fact, the fundamental reason is that they don't want to have duplicate names. After all, you need a villain, in case you run into a reader or the name of the reader's elders, which coincides with the villain, which is somewhat embarrassing, or has the same name as a hero I don't know, and is 404, but I forgot that the reader may not know it, I can't think about it, sorry.
But if you want to say that other words are difficult to recognize, I admit it, but the word "Han" really shouldn't be difficult to recognize, because there is a star named Lu Han, even if you don't listen to his songs and don't watch the TV series and movies he made, entertainment news will appear, right?
In addition to the small number of manuscripts, in the middle of the year, I remember that on July 1st, there was also an incident at home, a family member lost more than 10 pounds of weight in a month, and when doing a non-contrast CT, a low-density shadow was found on a certain organ.
Weight loss in a short period of time, shadows appeared in internal organs, and at the same time, there were corresponding symptoms, at that time, there was a bad premonition, and the family also prepared for the worst. And the enhanced CT can't be done until July 10th, and during that time, not to mention washing the face with tears, it's almost the same, and I'm really not in the mood to write it down anymore. So, for many days in a row, there was only one shift a day (I really didn't know how to write it at the time), which may have been one of the reasons for the complete collapse of the grades.
I remember saying that if there was anything on July 10th, the book would be over, and the reason was to wait for the results of the enhanced CT, and if the situation was not optimistic, the book would really be TJ.
Fortunately, the enhanced CT did not find a mass lesion, and the family began to pay attention to the body, slowly recuperate, and the body is recovering. But this incident has cost me a lot of energy, and my state has not adjusted.
The reason why I mention this to everyone is not to win sympathy, but to say that everyone may also think that a serious illness is far away from them, and I thought so at the beginning, but in fact, it is very close to me, and my family is only middle-aged.
So, a medical check-up! Physical examination! Physical examination! (Important things are said three times)
Whether you are working in a company or doing your own business, you must pay attention to the physical examination, some diseases, the early and late stages are completely two diseases. In the early stages, it may be easy to solve, but in the later stages, you may have to wait helplessly for that day to come (I really experienced the powerlessness of feeling painful for my family during that time).
Another is to pay attention to work and rest.
What money, what hobbies, what feelings, what dreams, compared to the body, all are worthless. When a person is sick, it is not only the sick person who is hurt, but also the family and all those who care about him.
What happened to a certain Yi not long ago, everyone should have heard of it, the body is your own, you must cherish it.
Again, back to this one.
Although this is also a copyist, it is not quite the same as the similar works that everyone sees, because the template of this comic is not those works, but "Dream Eater".
Once again, I recommend "Dream Eater" (also known as "The King of Explosive Comics"), station b has all three seasons of animation, and the comic app of station b also has this comic, which is a small number of free comics in the comic app of station b. This manga was the last manga that made me stay up all night to read, and after that, I haven't felt this way when I read other manga. That's why I said in the article that this comic is underrated.
When I first read this manga, I really couldn't imagine that a manga about a cartoonist would be so good, and if I had the chance, I would also write a cartoonist.
However, many years passed, and this dream was forgotten. (haha)
There is also a Japanese drama called "Reprint Out", which is based on the editor as the first point of view, telling about the comic industry, which is also very good, and it is recommended by Split Wall. This Japanese drama is also based on comics, and the style of comics shouldn't be suitable for everyone, right?
As for this book, I wrote a little bit of what I wanted to write, and if I were to score it on a scale of 10, I think it should be 6.5, right?
Not using the original work is the biggest deduction for this comic, and there is,The "plagiarism" that should have been talked about and couldn't be avoided was not talked about in the text, because the protagonist Wen Plagiarism itself is a kind of plagiarism, and if plagiarism is introduced, this one can't be written, which is why I want to write an original story.
Compared to others, I still think plagiarism is more serious.
The original outline was to involve plagiarism in the article "Chess Soul", and the protagonist would start to be original because of plagiarism (which is why the protagonist's pen name should be Shen Zheng, and the original idea was to start in Volume 3, and the protagonist would be serialized under his real name), but in order to make a living, I changed the outline. After all, the sense of substitution given to readers by original comics and copyists is completely different.
The comics selected for this book should all be more classic, why didn't you choose the Sea of Dead Fire. On the one hand, because these comics appear too frequently, there is no shortage of me, and the other more important reason is that the pace is too slow. The three shortest comics were serialized for fifteen or sixteen years, and the model of this book is modeled after "Dream Eaters", drawing a comic for more than ten years, no matter how far it is, the pace is too slow.
As I wrote in the article, the reason why the protagonist of "Dream Eater" originally used so many short stories, in addition to showing the growth of the protagonist, another reason is that the work can be quickly switched, and new content can be added constantly. If you have watched "Dream Eater", you should know that once the protagonist serializes a long story, the protagonist's activity space is limited to the studio, which is determined by the nature of the cartoonist, but Shen Xin is traveling through the past, if you don't copy the guild, it will be stupid, if you copy the public, it is even more stupid not to choose a comic that can be serialized for a long time, so you can only choose a comic that is not so long, and the reputation and results are not bad.
It is about 4 parts, the first part is about the protagonist's first entry into the comic circle, and the second part chooses "Chess Soul", because I want to describe that if a cartoonist encounters a comic with a strong professional, he will ask experts for guidance, "Chess Soul" and "The Spirit of the Halberd" are both like this, and the third part is about the change of the times, from paper media to network media, after all, the times are developing, and the world in which the protagonist lives has always been a paper magazine, which is not very suitable. Another one, that is, when it comes to the D version, Zuo Yuan's example is a bit exaggerated, but the D version still hurts the author a lot. But this is like a coin, there are heads and tails, there are genuine versions, there will be piracy (profit-driven), it is difficult to change the general environment by relying on the protagonist alone, this is the reality, so, there is not too much in-depth discussion of the D version. The fourth part is about the relationship between the studio and cartoonists, in fact, this is currently the form in China, like or "Dream Eater", there are very few models in China, the reason is that it is too risky for a person to do it, and it is likely that he can only drink cold water for a year and a half.
In addition to plagiarism, it should be said that what can be discussed should be said.
Among the selected comics, I would like to talk about "Steel". This comic has its own uniqueness in terms of character creation, plot arrangement, and setting. I remember listening to Lex mention "Steel" and say that when you watch the animation, you will see that this is a circle, a circle that has been drawn from the beginning (roughly this meaning). I didn't understand it at the time, and I thought that the protagonist finally returned to his hometown, and there was a sense that the beginning was the end. Later, I thought about it for a while, this circle should be mainly embodied in Edward - the original Edward did not know alchemy, in order to save his mother, he learned alchemy, and lost Alphons's body and his arm, and finally, he exchanged his door to truth for Alphons's body, lost alchemy, but got his own arm.
As far as Edward himself is concerned, he has gained nothing (he can no longer use alchemy), he has lost nothing (the arms are back, and as for the legs, he deliberately did not come back, because he has to take Wen Li into account), and he drew a large circle, and inside the circle are all kinds of past experiences. This manga is definitely worth a look.
Here are a few questions:
1. Why doesn't the protagonist change jobs frequently?
Answer: From a practical point of view, frequent job hopping is not conducive to the author's accumulation of popularity, take the Internet as an example, the author who has changed three websites in a row, you can take a look at the comparison of his popularity before and after his job hopping. Job-hopping is a very unpopular thing, unless it's from a small platform to a big platform. In the article, "Comic Future" and "Shonen Leap" are already the biggest platforms, where else can they jump?
Entrepreneurship?
This book is about cartoonists, not about entrepreneurship. Therefore, the protagonist did not change jobs frequently and did not start a business.
2. Why do you need to be involved in so many work operation/business matters? Cartoonists are very homely, and the ranking of small books is not important to them/Why are they targeting each other?
A: Let's start with the first one. There must be conflict in the advancement of the story, and if everyone is a rational person, it is difficult to have conflict, so, usually, it is necessary to reduce the intelligence of the supporting characters (just like Song Ren in the first volume, and many people are not satisfied with the result. In fact, people sometimes seem to degrade their behavior, but the reality does exist). In addition to intelligence reduction, there is only a conflict of interest.
Whether it's the Internet or comics, in the final analysis, it's a commercial creation, and the work comes out to sell for money, in order to make more money, I don't think there's anything to blame. Isn't life in the world just to live? As for some great god authors who can write for feelings, it's because they have already reached that point, and other authors can't. Just like Yuhiko Inoue drew "Wanderer's Journey", he can draw his own feelings in the comics, and even jump out of commercial creation, but how many manga artists can do this?
As for the competition between cartoonists, the rankings ...... is still the sentence in the "Historical Records", "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for the sake of profit", this is the reality. There is no author who does not want his work to be seen by more people, and there is no author who does not want to make a lot of money from his work. The former is the name, and the latter is the benefit.
Having said all that, the book is also the end of the book.
No matter what everyone thinks of this comic.,It's over.,I personally think.,It's okay.,After all, everything that can be said has been said.,It's okay to leave some expectations.,It's not a bad ending, right?
As for the manga drawn behind the main character, in addition to "Full-Time Hunter", it is possible that "Giant" and one of the dead fire will also be drawn.
In short, in the future, the partners who are with Shen Xin will be happy.
As for the next work, if nothing else, it should be original (hopefully), maybe it has something to do with another world, but it's not entirely certain, and the time of opening the book is estimated to be years later. It's been a long time since I've celebrated the New Year with my family without serialization, and this year's Spring Festival is very early, probably January, right? With that in mind, it's unlikely that it will be serialized in January, because the editor will also have a holiday, and there will be no recommendations at that time.
After such a long time of serialization, I really feel that I still have a long way to go, there is still a lot of content to learn, and I also hope to come up with better works that are worthy of everyone's support, so please give me a little time.
There is a bonus to the results, but if the work is not good, the results are also difficult to come out, so it's better to play a game.
Finally, thank you all for your support for so long, and thank you to Tuba Kyushu for supporting me at the most difficult time of this book. Thank you to the two alliance leaders of Lianxia Beixi and YukiSaya, you have given me a lot of confidence, thank you to the anonymous kyle, the blessing of the sky, the autumn water Baichuan, Xi Lingmen, Ling Tianxue Yan, I don't understand, Lexington cv16, snake meat X3, the dream of the virtual world, arrogant T_T, left winter right spring, NN Morning Star, flow, fire, etc., thank you for supporting me since the book "Halberd", thank you to all the readers who support this book, without you, there would be no book.
