Liang Yu wondered if there was something wrong here, but looking at Huang Yuan's expression, it really didn't look like he was fooling himself, could it be said that this was true?

However, this is the first time I've heard of a half-finished draft of a manga, because a half-finished draft is actually a line drawing and a background sketch.

Seeing Liang Yu's puzzled look, Huang Yuan explained: "We are a biweekly magazine, and the number of pages handed in is the same as that of Fantasy, so it should be a lot easier, but Mr. Liangyu, your first serialization, and you may be busy with your studies, so give me half of the finished manuscript, and I will find someone to help you blacken and paste the outlets." ”

The subtext of this sentence does not mean that you are afraid that you will not be able to do it alone, but you can enjoy this treatment before you officially sign a contract, in short, you don't have to think about it in Fantasy.

Seeing Liang Yu's expression quite moved, Huang Yuan said about the remuneration again: "You and Teacher Chen Nan have an annuity in Fantasy magazine, and they also have it after we sign a serial contract here. ”

Huang Yuan looked at Liang Yu, this time Liang Yu didn't react, but he also knew that if there was money, it would definitely be "Chess Soul" to make a lot of money, for a comic that had just been launched, the so-called annuity was only enough to hire assistants and buy a place to set up a studio, and the real money was still the continuous serialization and the development and sale of various single book peripherals, which would definitely not be unclear to Liang Yu, who has become a popular writer.

In other words, this is actually Huang Yuan's thoughts, because Liang Yu didn't think about income at all, and she didn't draw comics to make money.

What she really cares about is that she wants to draw a work of her own, and from this premise, the conditions given by Huang Yuan can be regarded as reassuring. After all, she lacks time and experience, and Huang Yuan has thought of making up for these two points, thinking about it like this, Liang Yu thinks maybe she should try it? Anyway, even if it doesn't work out, it's nothing.

As Huang Yuan said, "Margalilyn" is a biweekly magazine, that is to say, Liang Yu can have twice the time to complete the content of a serialized article in Fantasy magazine, and she only needs to submit half a finished manuscript, which saves her a lot of time, and now she doesn't have to engage in a troublesome test of Fantasy, and the serial meeting can be published directly, which really makes Liang Yu quite moved.

"Editor Huang, if you want to serialize it in your magazine, what theme is better?"

As soon as Liang Yu said this, Huang Yuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, which almost meant that the other party had agreed.

But since Liang Yu asked so, Huang Yuan also put away his usual casual look, revealing his serious side as an editor, and said: "Our "Margalilyn" is a girl's comic magazine, so the theme of youth love must be the most popular, and the age group of junior high school students and high school students is the most, so if you write a campus love story, please limit the story to these two ranges." ”

Liang Yu nodded, did not interject, and waited for the editor to continue.

"Secondly, there are funny comics, fantasy comics, and emotional comics, all of which can be drawn, but there is one thing to pay attention to."

"What is it?"

That is, the readers of shoujo manga are all women, and the ratio of men is only about 1~3%, which is much lower than the probability of 10%~15% women in Fantasy, which is why there will be many popular female authors in shonen manga, but the famous writers in shoujo manga magazines are all women. No matter what magazine you like, female authors can draw some beautiful big sisters with good figures, little sisters who are brutal and willful on the surface but very gentle in private, and go to the light or something to attract men, but it is difficult for male authors to be opportunistic in girls' magazines. ”

After Huang Yuan said this call, he took a sip of coffee and laughed: "Although it may not be good for me, a male editor, to say this, but women are emotional animals, you can't do it if you don't capture their hearts, and they have a generally high and unified aesthetic, in layman's terms, it is Yan Kong, if you want to draw something that is purely funny and funny like the one in the shonen comics, it will not be popular here." So in the end, the type can actually be chosen at will, but it must conform to the aesthetic feelings of the girls. It's fun to draw handsome characters, and I think that's the basics of shoujo manga. ”

Liang Yu nodded, feeling that Huang Yuan was similar to what the friends around him said, but it was more detailed, but it also made Liang Yu feel melancholy, because love comics from the perspective of girls were really not her forte.

As if sensing Liang Yu's emotions, Huang Yuan paused, and then said: "I think Teacher Liangyu's advantage lies in the relationship between the characters and the portrayal of the characters' emotions. And it doesn't matter if the protagonist isn't female......"

"Isn't it okay if shoujo manga doesn't draw women?"

"Uh......" Huang Yuan was a little embarrassed, but he still decided to tell the truth: "In fact, there is a ** branch in the girl's comics, although I don't recommend it very much from my personal standpoint, but the comics in this direction are also quite popular." ”

Seeing that Liang Yu shook his head, Huang Yuan changed his words: "Even if you don't draw **, it's okay to use a male as the protagonist, but it should be noted that if you use this as the theme of a girl's comic, then the theme can't be love, it's a very off-the-beaten-path kind, but if you draw it well, it will be very attractive, do you know "Horror Pet House"?" ”

Liang Yu nodded, this comic borrowed from Zhu Ying is her primer.

Seeing that Liang Yu seemed to be interested in this aspect, Huang Yuan continued: "The success of the comic "Horror Pet House" is because it firmly captures the psychology of female readers who like mystery and horror, and the creation of the character of Count D is indeed very outstanding, and he still has some ** elements in it, which can also add points to it. ”

"Hmm."

Huang Yuan is very good at observing words and feelings, he saw that Liang Yu was not interested in listening to his previous words, but when he heard this subject, he listened very carefully and carefully, and knew that if she submitted a work, it would probably be this type.

For editors, it's always unpleasant to be off-the-beaten-path, yes, because that inevitably leads to two extremes. Either it's a mess, or it's boundless, it turns out that Huang Yuan thinks that it's actually better to use Liang Yu's delicate brushstrokes to paint the story of friendship and love as the panel, but since she has this intention.

If you think about it carefully, "Chess Soul" is actually a work that goes off the rails, maybe she can really succeed.

"......" Huang Yuan put down the ears of the coffee cup, rubbed his fingers, and said after pondering for a while: "If you want to paint this subject, I have a little suggestion for you." ”
