Chapter 248
August 25th.
Shadow studio.
Jin Mu said to Lin Yuan: "The tribe is going to do a column interview for the cartoonists who are about to publish works on the new website. It is a bit to promote the new work. It is not necessary for you to come out in person. It is just a text interview. Can you accept it?"
"Connect."
Lin Yuan spoke.
Jin Mu nodded, and soon afterwards, the editor of the tribal comics added Lin Yuan's shadow account.
The editor from the other side was very polite: "We have communicated with the shadow teacher's agent. Can the interview start now?"
Shadow: "Yeah."
Editor: "I am also a fan of "The King of Nets". I am really disappointed when I saw the completion of this comic. But I am very much looking forward to the idea that Teacher Shadow will release a new work. Could you please disclose some information about the new work to the fans ?"
Shadow: "The name of the new work is "Spirit of Eater Halberd". This is a comic about food."
Editor: "It sounds like an appetite! We know that "The King of the Net" is the work of the novelist teacher Chu Kuang, so is the story of the new work created by the teacher himself?"
Shadow: "Yeah."
Editor: "The first time I write a story by myself, will the shadow teacher feel pressure?"
Shadow: "It's okay."
Editor: "Shadow Teacher is very confident, because our website was started, what expectations does Shadow Teacher have for the results of the new work?"
"..."
The interview lasted about fifteen minutes.
This editor's questions are quite satisfactory, and Lin Yuan is not tired to answer.
But later this editor started to talk about gossip: "[Naughty] Actually, the editor always has private questions that I want to ask the shadow teacher, what is your gender?"
Shadow: "Male."
Editor: "One more gossip, definitely the last one. You seem to have a good relationship with Teacher Xianyu and Teacher Chu Kuang. What are the genders of these two?"
Shadow: "These are two questions."
Editor: "Hahaha, sorry sorry [cute]."
Shadow: "All men."
Editor: "Successful gossip [smile with teeth]! Thank you, Teacher Shadow, for your answer, it turned out to be buy one get one free, n(*≧▽≦*)n!"
Shadow: "Why did you buy it? You obviously didn't pay."
The editor paused for a few seconds before replying: "...The Shadow Teacher is really humorous."
Shadow: "My friend said the same."
"..."
In twenty minutes.
The text interview is finally over.
Jin Mu took a look and confirmed that there was no problem, then nodded and said: "The interview will be posted in the evening, and other cartoonists will also have written interviews."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He didn't worry about it.
However, Lin Yuan underestimated the gossip nature of netizens.
That night.
As the cartoonists’ interviews appeared on the Internet, the tribal commentary area of Chu Kuang and Xianyu became lively:
"Let me just say it, threesome!"
"Sure enough, all three are boys~"
"In fact, it's not too surprising. Although Teacher Chu Kuang's style of writing changes, he is always a man."
"I used to be uncertain about the gender of Teacher Xianyu. After all, he has a song that was developed from a female perspective. Now I understand. Teacher Xianyu has a girlish heart."
"The three are really good friends!"
"Congratulations to Teacher Shadow's new work, or you will be thrown away by Xianyu and Chu Kuang."
"Little transparent, cheer on duck!"
Many fans don't know much about comics, so ridicule is mostly.
This interview, for these people, the greatest value is to reveal the sex of Xian Yu and Chu Kuang.
...
The same interview fell into the eyes of some insiders in the comics circle, but it was another response.
"Shadow is going to be original?"
"Isn't he a pure painter?"
"It seems that he is another cartoonist who is unwilling to be a pure artist. Every pure artist seems to have the idea of creating independently..."
"Isn't the point not good food?"
"If the new work of Shadow is not a food theme, I think his new work may still have a loss of hope, but the theme of food directly killed 99% of the suspense!"
"Yeah, how can you choose food?"
"Manga on the theme of food used to be very popular for a while, but now no one cares about it. Simply put, this theme is out of date."
"I suggest that the shadow should continue to work with Chu Kuang, otherwise it would be a pity that he has a very amazing pure painter."
"..."
Not only does the industry feel that this matter is unreliable, but even fans of the shadow are a little confused when they learn that the shadow is going to be original.
"Isn't it?"
"Shadow teacher doesn't want to be a pure painter?"
"I think a pure painter is very good. You can devote more energy to painting. It would be better to leave the story to the screenwriter..."
"Teacher Shadow, be more sober, the food is outdated!"
"Yeah, if Teacher Shadow wants to be original, just draw a sports theme?"
"It is strongly recommended to draw sports themes!"
"In the field of comics, sports themes still have some potential, and "Net King" also proves that Teacher Shadow is best at this."
"Although I am not optimistic, I will try my best to support the shadow teacher."
"It's not that I haven't read the comics drawn by the original artist. I don't have to say the style, but the story is a little hard to describe."
"..."
Insiders and fans of Shadow don’t care about the gossip of Xianyu and Chu Kuang, everyone still cares about Shadow’s new work.
but……
Seeing that the new work of Shadow actually intends to take the original route, and chooses the food theme, many fans feel that a basin of cold water is poured down.
Many shadow problems.
But before the shadow, many pure painters have tried their own original creations, and most of them are on the street.
Of course nothing is absolute.
There are also those who did not take the original route, but the enthusiasm for their works is not comparable to the works created by these people as pure painters!
You know "Net King" is the hottest comic in the tribe!
It is very difficult for the shadow to achieve the same height with originality, let alone choose the relatively unpopular food themes in the market.
But obviously.
Outside thoughts cannot affect Shadow's determination.
Even if many people went to the shadow tribe to leave a message, it was useless.
But Luo Wei, who is a shadow assistant, is changing her view of "The Spirit of Halberd Eater" a little bit.
Yes.
With the end of "Net King".
Lin Yuan has officially taken Luo Wei to start the creation of "The Spirit of Halberd Eater"!
This creative process is very difficult and a big time-consuming project.
Because Lin Yuan is going to draw full-color comics this time!
Only full-color comics can show the characteristics of "The Spirit of the Halberd"!
What is shining egg fried rice?
With the gray lines without color, how can readers intuitively see how attractive the food appears in "The Spirit of the Halberd"?
It was in this process that Luo Wei was attracted by "The Spirit of the Halberd Eater".
When Lin Yuan provided the storyboard and story at a glance, Luo Wei suddenly felt that this cartoon might trigger a food trend!
Her enthusiasm for painting seems to be inspired by the delicious food in the story, and she works very hard!
