When the three of them heard Yan Fei's words, their expressions were different.

Today, these two comics are undoubtedly the top two in the comics industry, and, with their respective characteristics, they have squeezed into the top ten of the hot search.

"Steelforge is still behind Age of the Gods." Wang Wenhong was a little depressed, and at the same time turned on his mobile phone and searched for the popularity list rankings of the two comics, "Huh? ”

"What's wrong?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"The heat value between the two, there are only 80,000 left...... Wang Wenhong hurriedly turned his head to look at Shang Haozhi, "I remember just now...... When we came over, there was still a difference of 100,000, right? ”

Shang Haozhi was also startled at first, and then his face was happy.

Although the reason for the rise is not known yet, the popularity value can rise, which shows that the quality of the words "Steel Forge" is higher than that of "Age of the Gods".

"I may know why, the popularity of 'Steel' may be even higher." Yan Fei suddenly said after browsing Weibo's posts related to "Steel Refining".

"Sister Yan, what is the reason?" Shen Xin was also very curious.

"Don't forget, magazines have a lag compared to webcomics. In other words, the popularity of webtoons may reach the extreme in a short period of time. But magazines are different, because readers have to go to bookstores to buy them, and they have to face the possibility of selling out, so they go to other bookstores. Even if you buy a book, you read it at school or at home. If you don't have a mobile phone at hand, you can't give feedback in time.

"These reasons have caused a result, the popularity of "Steel" is not as fast as "Age of the Gods", but it lasts longer than "Age of the Gods".

"Now the popularity of "Steel" is closely following "Age of the Gods", considering the lag, there should not be such a high popularity." Shang Haozhi was a little confused.

Yan Fei was about to open her mouth to explain, when Wang Wenhong suddenly snapped her fingers, "I understand." ”

Well?

The eyes of the others immediately turned to Wang Wenhong.

Wang Wenhong pushed the frame and smiled, "The 'adhesion' of "Steel Refining" is higher than that of "Age of the Gods". ”

"Adhesion?"

Shen Xin couldn't be more familiar with this word.

Simply put, how many readers a book can attract. If we take the Internet as an example, that is, in the case of the same number of collections, the more people who subscribe, the higher the stickiness of the book, and the higher the quality.

If we go back to "Steel Steel", it shows that there are many readers who buy "Steel Steel" and follow "Steel Steel". The publication of this sentence made many readers analyze the entire plot, and some people even began to look back at the details that they had overlooked.

This is the "adhesion" of the work, and ordinary works cannot achieve this effect.

Shen Xin agreed with Wang Wenhong's explanation, even if it was him, there would be some things that he didn't understand. But as the comics were drawn, those doubts were gradually solved.

The more I understand, the more I admire Aunt Niu's talent.

"Compared with "Steel", "Age of the Gods" also has a big drawback, that is, it only has three words, no depth, and after reading it, there is no way to recall the previous plot. In this respect, he can't compare to "Steel". Wang Wenhong's voice stopped abruptly, sighed, and said in a low voice, "Thinking of this, I feel a pity, if you can provide the electronic version of the previous words, it is estimated that the sales of the electronic version will also be very high." ”

Shang Haozhi frowned, and he was also very dissatisfied with the decision-making of the high-level.

However, as the magazine's executives said, the app and Comic Future's revenue affect each other, which is a big problem.

"By the way, Mr. Shen, aren't your color pages finished?" Wang Wenhong remembered the purpose of coming over this time.

"Do you want to see it?"

"Hmm." Wang Wenhong nodded seriously.

Shen Xin got up and came to the workbench, and the three people also followed him and leaned over.

A color sketch was displayed on the screen, on which several stone statues were drawn.

In the center of the statue is a standing "father" with his arms outstretched and his fat sleeves making him look like a savior. And on the wall behind him, the human body of Keselxes is engraved in a formation.

Edward, Al, and Yao Lin rushed towards "Father" with various movements, Gratoni touched his stomach, and Wayne looked at the three who rushed over with disdain.

The layering of the composition is exceptionally clear, and the actions and demeanors of the characters are needless to mention, after all, this is also a color picture that Shen Xin made after staying up for several nights in a row, and there is definitely no flaw in this regard.

What surprised the three of them was the basic skills, the use of color, and the mix of light and darkness embodied by Shen Xin in this color page.

Painting such a stone statue is a great test of the author's sketching skills. If you can't sketch well, you can't grasp the proportions, movements, and demeanor of the human body, and you won't be able to paint this shocking effect.

Since the whole painting is embodied in the form of a stone statue, there is only one color for the figures, costumes, and background. Shen Xin chose gold here, and the first time the reader saw it, it was like a stone statue bathed in the sun.

The folds of the clothes and the expressions of the characters are transitioned by using highlights, reflections, black, white and gray, and the layering is extremely distinct.

Although it is monochrome, it brings great impact and shock to people's vision, coupled with the faint layer of gold, the whole picture is full of gorgeousness.

Teacher Shen ...... This picture ...... Awesome. ”

Wang Wenhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

No one in Comic Future can match this kind of drawing skill, and even top professional illustrators have to work hard to achieve this effect.

Shang Haozhi's eyes moved away from the color page, and the shock brought by the picture still lingered in his heart.

"Teacher Shen, this painting of yours is not a problem for Wang Yunze, your target is all the cartoonists in Huaxia, right?" Shang Haozhi turned his head to look at Shen Xin.

"Uh...... I didn't think about it so much......" Shen Xin scratched his head, "I just want to draw a color page that can reflect my painting skills, that's all." ”

And so it is.

When Shen Xin drew this color map, he thought of Ken Obata's style of drawing color pages, and the idea of this color page came from the cover of the 12th volume of "Death Note".

Shang Haozhi tries to calm himself down, and this picture will not only satisfy the reader, but other manga artists will probably feel pressure as well.

"When are you going to post this image?"

"After today, right? I think that today's popularity of "Steel Forge" has a chance to turn over. Shen Xin touched his chin, according to the analysis of Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei, "Steel Refining" has the possibility of surpassing, not to mention, he also has confidence in "Steel Refining".

There are still four hours, and there is a gap of 60,000 between the popularity of the two comics, which may not be impossible to turn over.

Wang Wenhong saw Shen Xin, who was quiet, and his heart calmed down, "The deadline for Mr. Shen and Bao Dong to bet is on the evening of the 7th, no matter what the result is today, we all want a chance." ”

Shen Xin shook his head slightly, smiling without saying a word.

On Earth, there is a saying called "God Slaughter", in which an author must win over a sufficiently large opponent in order to be recognized by other authors and readers.

Shen Xin does not take the initiative to pursue the "God Slaughter Dao", and after the end of "Steel Forge", he will not be too far from Wang Yunze, but he is also curious about whether such a situation really exists.
