Chapter 496: Food and Comics
According to the statistics of the box office website, the box office of "Chess Soul" reached 60 million yuan on the first day, and the single-day box office of "Chess Soul" did not reach its peak due to insufficient film scheduling in many places.
Subsequently, the distributor hurriedly contacted the major theaters and greatly increased the number of shows, and the box office of "Chess Soul: Beidou Cup" continued to rise, and reached its peak on the fourth day, with a single-day box office exceeding 100 million.
After Shen Xin learned the box office results, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The "Beidou Cup" has not been put on the screen on the earth, and now, meeting with comic friends in the form of a big movie can be regarded as making up for the regret.
What's more, the quality of the movie is really good, and the easter eggs behind it are also very meaningful. It's just that many viewers want to see the plot after the easter eggs, so they wrote a lot of messages under Shen Xin's Weibo.
That kind of thing, how could there be?
Shen Xin did not consider this kind of request from the audience at all.
Back in the studio, Xi Muhan, Yan Fei and Lu Ning sat together to discuss some details, Shen Xin passed by with a Coke, subconsciously listened to two sentences, and asked, "Aren't you going to hire a consultant?" ”
"Huh?" Xi Muhan raised his head and looked at Shen Xin, "Looking for a consultant?" ”
"Yes, the characteristics of various dishes, the core steps of each dish, if there is a lack of ingredients, what ingredients to replace, the same dish, and how to cook with different kitchen utensils...... Do you know all this? ”
Xi Muhan also has a headache, although she has good cooking, after all, she has not undergone professional food training, and she is not a gourmet, and she is not very skilled in some cooking theories.
"Uh...... I'm reading a book......"
"It's not enough to just read books......" Shen Xin shook his head.
If you want to draw more professionally, Xi Muhan and her sisters do need a consultant, but she is a good cook, and she can cope with the past by reading more cooking-related books, such as "Little Master", the author did not find a food consultant.
Compared to comics like Go, food comics don't have to have a full-time consultant.
"If you're really not going to hire an advisor, I have a suggestion."
"What advice?"
"You cook the dishes that appear in the comics yourself, so that you can better grasp the details in the comics."
"Huh?" Xi Muhan's eyes lit up, this method is also fine, "But what about the rest of the meal?" ”
"With so many people in the studio, you can always get rid of the food, right? However, we may not have enough equipment, and we do have some trouble. By the way, Mr. Lu, do you know all about the drawing of instruments and the movements of chefs? ”
Shen Xin was a little worried.
If someone else asked, Lu Ning would definitely answer "understand" directly, but in the face of Shen Xin's inquiry, she didn't dare to say too much.
No matter what, Shen Xin is also her teacher.
"Okay, right?"
"Okay?" Shen Xin was a little skeptical, "Why don't you two go to a cooking class together?" ”
"Huh?" Lu Ning blinked and looked at Shen Xin with some incredulity.
"Is it excessive? Anyway, this is also a manga related to the profession. If there are mistakes in the details, such as the holding position of different kitchen knives, the essentials of the movement of the spoon, the chef's movements when cutting different ingredients, etc...... As a manga artist, you have to master all of this, right? For example, kitchen knives, have you ever cared about what they look like? ”
Shen Xin picked up a piece of paper casually and drew two chef knives, one with a blade bent upward, the tip of the knife and the back of the knife on the same horizontal line, and the other with a straight blade, the tip of the knife and the blade in the same straight line.
"Which of these two knives is the chef's knife?" Shen Xin asked.
"The first one?" Lu Ning wasn't sure.
"Wrong, second one. The tip of the chef's knife and the blade are in the same straight line, which makes it easier to cut vegetables, and the first one is a dagger. I'll tell you, there are cartoonists who used the first one as a chef's knife and drew it into the manga. ”
Shen Xin reminded emphatically, and Xi Muhan also nodded again and again, proving that Shen Xin was not wrong.
"Brother Xin, don't you only make instant noodles? How do you know so much? Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin in surprise.
"Uh...... Ahem...... I'm a cartoonist, and of course I know these common tools. ”
Shen Xin coughed dryly, what kind of cooking does he know?
Isn't that what Halberd Spirit is about?
Lu Ning clasped her hands on her chest, thought for a moment, and said, "I have decided, after finishing "National Journey"...... No, I'll go back and sign up for a cooking class, all the kitchen utensils, understand everything clearly. ”
"That'...... I'll go too, right? Xi Muhan also said.
"It's fine, but don't eat fat." Shen Xin whispered.
"How is that possible?" Xi Muhan's eyes widened, "I'm learning to cook, and I don't mean to eat!" ”
Even so, Xi Muhan still reminded himself that he must not be greedy.
Yan Fei took a breath a little, in the past few days, she has only relaxed a little when she was watching the movie "Chess Soul".
However, despite being tired, she is also looking forward to the manga coming out.
"Do you just serialize the long story, or do you draw the short story first?"
"Short." Yan Fei explained, "Although "National Journey" is good, it is a shoujo comic, and if you turn to a shonen comic, you still have to use short comics to explore the way. ”
"That's fine."
Neither Lu Ning nor Xi Muhan has any experience of serialization in "Comic Future".
"One more point, Mr. Lu, I want to remind you that the storyboards you draw are more biased towards girl's comics, so it's best to practice storyboards."
The storyboards of shonen manga and shoujo manga are actually very easy to distinguish, they are all based on music, Ai Yazawa's "NANA" and Seo Koji's "Wind Summer", the storyboards are different.
The storyboards of shoujo manga have a sense of stream of consciousness, pursuing a kind of artistic conception, and many storyboards need the reader's imagination, so readers will stop and think when reading shoujo manga.
The storyboard of juvenile comics emphasizes the smoothness of the story, and if it is necessary to express the explosion of emotion, it will be expressed on full pages or spreads.
"I know."
Lu Ning nodded again and again, this is indeed her weakness. The storyboard of the shoujo manga is indeed not popular in "Comic Future".
At the end of the day, it's a question of whether the style matches the platform.
"Sister Yan, please worry more about it."
If you want to change your style, Lu Ning has to work a lot. Fortunately, the name was painted by Xi Muhan, which can reduce Lu Ning's personal style, and at the same time, Yan Fei is also very experienced in being responsible for editing.
Overall, there should be no problem.
The four of them chatted for a while, Xi Muhan went to cook, Yan Fei also turned on the TV, and Hongchuan TV happened to be rebroadcasting the premiere of "Chess Soul".
"Mr. Shen, I watched your performance at the premiere. The third question, I think, is quite level. Lu Ning winked at Shen Xin.
"I'll just say it casually, you can just listen to it." Shen Xin waved his hand, knowing that Lu Ning was also suspicious of those words.
No matter what others think, those words are indeed Shen Xin's true thoughts. As for a few people who believe, it is beyond his control.
