Yan Fei was a little worried, and Shen Xin could only continue to persuade: "Sister Yan, it's okay." I have a spectrum in my heart. ”

"I think you don't have a score in your heart!" Yan Fei's brows furrowed, and her expression was anxious, "There are some things I can't say clearly, but I still have to remind you that your next work is very important!" ”

Shen Xin saw that Yan Fei was worried about herself, and she felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

The next comic is a work that he must be cautious about.

As he and Wang Wenhong said, what he wants to do is to jump out of the circle of the entire cartoonist. He didn't want to sway anyone else, but he didn't want to be bound by those rules either.

Since you want to jump out and be different, you naturally have to use your works to speak, and "DN" is in a very good position both in terms of overall quality and topicality of comics.

But Yan Fei didn't know the plot of "DN", and Shen Xin couldn't prove it to Yan Fei in a short time, after all, the task of "Steel Forge" was still quite heavy.

"Sister Yan, actually, I really attach importance to this comic, but I still have "Steel Tempering" in my hand now, so I can only draw it first. After that, I'm going to test the water with a short story, and if the feedback is good, I'll draw a manga based on it, and if it's not accepted by readers, I'll change to another type of work. Shen Xin said seriously.

"Short ...... Short? ”

Yan Fei's mouth opened slightly, her face full of surprise.

Wang Wenhong laughed helplessly, and Yan Fei's reaction when he heard Shen Xin want to draw a short story was somewhat similar to him at that time. But he is no longer Shen Xin's editor-in-charge, and it has nothing to do with him how the magazine thinks about it, he only cares about the income of his works.

There is no doubt that if Shen Xin wants to draw evil comics, it is indeed necessary to test the water, but for the magazine, this is likely to be redundant and even harmful.

A short story should express a complete story, all the foreshadowing, all the baggage, should be reflected in dozens of pages.

The long story is not, whether it is foreshadowing, baggage, or even some small pits, all need space to design.

The short story is to "squeeze water" into the comics, and each sub-grid must express as much meaning as possible, and express the center concisely; On the contrary, the author has to "add material" to the comics to depict a completely new world as much as possible. In serialized comics, the creator emphasizes the layout and control of the work.

Some long-form comics will make readers feel that the plot is very scattered in the later stage, but in fact, it is the author's lack of control over the work.

Although both are comics, they think in different directions.

More crucially, the short story is too fortuitous.

A brain hole can't hold up a long comic, but it can hold up a short comic.

Since his debut, Shen Xin has only drawn a short story of "Love Equation", and the editor in charge at that time was also Yan Fei.

This...... It must be a coincidence, right?

Yan Fei rubbed her forehead, pondered for a long time, and finally bowed slightly, "I respect Teacher Shen's meaning, but I still have to say that this is not a wise choice." If your short story wins a few articles of the same period, it will make people feel that they are not victorious; If you lose, you will become a stepping stone for others......"

"Stepping stones?" Shen Xin rubbed his nose and smiled.

I also want to see who can use DN as a stepping stone at home.

"Yan Fei, what you said is also right, but if Mr. Shen's short story is really surpassed by others, it means that the long comics created on this basis are likely to 'overturn', and we can do our best to avoid risks. Even if the short story is surpassed, it is not a big deal, and it is better than spending a few years drawing a tepid comic. At that time, Mr. Shen's hard-earned popularity was exhausted, and he had even more headaches. ”

Also......

In the final analysis, Yan Fei is still a little puzzled by Shen Xin's choice of evil comics, and only hopes that the new work can also have a market.

Shen Xin does not doubt that "DN" can become a hit, because its average sales volume is also famous in the history of District 11, so in Huaxia, it should also be able to rise.

The four of them chatted briefly again, and Wang Wenhong remembered something.

"By the way, Yan Fei, I recently used the app of "ic Future", and I found that you seem to have added some light ones."

"Oh, that's right. This is Mr. Shang's application to the "Qichuang Library". Yan Fei explained.

"Mr. Shang is also ruthless, but how to divide the cost?" Wang Wenhong was puzzled.

"It is said that it is very low, basically, the light income, all of which belong to the "Qichuang Library".

"Why?" Wang Wenhong looked puzzled.

"Engage readers, right?" Yan Fei said casually, "However, Mr. Shang has never mentioned how to operate in the future, so there are different opinions in the editorial department, some people think that the main body of the app is comics after all, and it is a bit nondescript to introduce "Qichuang Library", not to mention, "Qichuang Library" is not as light as a fire. ”

Light......

Shen Xin grinned and shook his head slightly.

"I'm afraid, the purpose of "ic Future" is not to increase the income of "Qichuang Library", but to find the most popular light and make a comic change, right?"

"Huh?"

Wang Wenhong was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he reacted, Xi Muhan suddenly realized: "Wait, isn't this the mode of "National Journey"? ”

Her light has also been changed to a comic, so she is very familiar with this pattern.

"That's right, that's it." Shen Xin gave a thumbs up to Xi Muhan, "There is a lot of content in each chapter, and there are also illustrations in the light, which is easy for readers to have a sense of substitution." ”

Illustrations and comics seem to be similar, and the focus of the paintings is on two-dimensional characters, but strictly speaking, there is a difference between the two.

The drawing skills of cartoonists, similar to the writing of the Internet, are of course the best. If not, if the story is interesting, it won't have much impact, as long as it's enough.

One's simple drawing skills can still create works like "One Punch Man" and "100% Psionic Energy", and Isayama's drawing skills are usually not brilliant when drawing "Giant", but the sales of "Giant" are beyond the reach of many manga artists in their lifetime.

Illustrators, on the other hand, rely on flashy drawing skills to attract readers. Therefore, there is a saying that "buy a painting and get toilet paper".

This model first appeared in District 11, and later, some people in Huaxia began to imitate it, but only a small number of extremely outstanding light people had a chance to be successfully adapted, "National Journey" is a typical example - "Crime and Punishment" is actually the same, only after the comics came out, Su Han was published.

Although Huaxia is not yet popular, it should be the trend of the future to adapt comics lightly. Because this model has an advantage that traditional comics don't have - the cost of judging whether a work has potential is very low. Serialized comics, the fastest halving, but also on the 10th or so chapters, during this period, the author has to pay the assistant, and at the same time, the cartoonist also needs to be full-time and dedicated.

A light author is a person, a computer, who can create at any time and without having to work full-time.

If the lightness is obvious, like "National Journey", the possibility of comic service street will be greatly reduced.
