Chapter 11 The eldest lady doesn't like the new year
"The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me", "My Dear Brother", "You Are My White Moonlight", ......" Shen Yi read the titles of the three comics, and then looked at the three comic heroes who were familiar with the male style drawn on the cover, "Miss, it turns out that you don't like the New Year, no wonder my student uniform can't wake you up." ”
"Shut up!" Lou Shiyu rushed over quickly and snatched the three comics away from Shen Yi's hands, "That's the theme recommended by the editor, what can I do!" ”
"Editor's recommendation? What kind of comics did you originally want to draw? Shen Yi didn't continue to fight with her, but clasped his hands on his chest and looked at Lou Shiyu for a long time, waiting for her to explain.
"I love reasoning themes, Feng Xiaoxiao likes horror and thrillers, and Xu'er prefers hot-blooded boy comics." Lou Shiyu stuffed the three comics into the drawer with some disgust, and replied with a gloomy expression.
"What about Qin Feng and Jian Yu?"
"They don't have a special preference, they can just listen to us."
"But the editor said that only romance comics on the market can sell well, so you compromised?"
"Is it okay to do without compromise? We've drawn the beginnings of several comics before, and they've all been killed. Not to mention the publication and distribution, even the Internet is not allowed to be serialized. ”
Shen Yi pointed to the drawer, with a somewhat teasing expression: "Then are these three copies selling well?" ”
"50,000 copies of each copy were distributed, and I heard that the stock was running out." Lou Shiyu sighed and scratched his hair in annoyance, "The editor also urged us to continue painting the fourth book, but neither I nor them could lift the energy. ”
"Is it because you don't want to do something you don't like, or do you have no ideas?" Shen Yi asked with concern, for no reason, she just didn't want to see her face full of pride showing such a frustrated expression.
"There are two reasons. Hey, let me ask you......" Lou Shiyu raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him, the corners of his mouth drooped, and his tone was slightly sad, "Why can't our cultural world bloom like other places?" It's really hard to be a comic book writer who can't use the imagination that is best at it......"
"The Knowles Group has a big business, but it can't change the cultural environment, which makes you very painful, right?" Shen Yi reached out to pat her shoulder, but stopped after realizing the eldest lady's androphobia, and smiled at her encouragingly, "Freedom does not mean indulgence, try your best in the forbidden freedom." ”
"I don't understand your reasoning." Lou Shiyu pursed his lips, refusing to admit that he had been comforted by the deacon.
"It's simple. There are many genres of movies, action, romance, mystery, animation...... Each director is only doing what they are good at, rather than mixing all these elements together to make a four-way difference. The freedom of creation you want is not that difficult. Take a hundred steps back and say, in a love story, you can also add reasoning or action elements, as long as the story can go on and be attractive enough. Shen Yi felt that he had never said such a long paragraph in his life, and in order to comfort this eldest lady who had gotten into the tip of the horns, he couldn't help but get serious.
"So what do you mean...... Let me take a new commission to create my fourth manga? Lou Shiyu was still a little resistant psychologically, flattening his mouth, not very happy.
"Or else? The people in your studio eat, drink, and have fun every day, and draw some boring fanart. If it weren't for your father's financial support, I'm afraid it would have gone out of business a long time ago. Are you not realised? That's a pretty heart-wrenching statement.
"Get out! You cosplay poison maniac! Lou Shiyu was so angry with him that he kicked him, hoping that this poisonous male student would leave his study quickly.
