My Cartoonist Strategy

Chapter 7 Plot and Style

"Sister Yan, how about this newcomer named'Shen Xin'?" Xiaoli held the tea cup and smiled at Yan Wei who entered the editing room.

Yan Wei looked at Xiao Li angrily, "Do your own job well."

Xiaoli threw out her tongue and dialed a call. After a few words, her expression eased a little.

After she hung up the phone, Yan Wan said, "What's wrong? It looks like it's not a good thing."

"The results are not good, if you don't work hard, you will probably be cut off. I don't know when the comic can'give you a long time.' Xiaoli shrugged her shoulders.

Yan Fan nodded slightly.

Works with poor grades must be cut, this is the rule of the comic industry.

After the cut, the cartoonists are not nothing, they can also receive the appropriate contract money from the magazine.But if the high-quality manuscript cannot be submitted in time, the magazine has the right to terminate the contract and sweep the cartoonist out.

For the cartoonist, rescinding the contract is a cruel thing, but the survival of the fittest has always been the norm of nature. Even if Yan Wei feels unfair, she can't help.

However, having said that, the manuscript that Shen Xin has taken today is indeed of very high quality. Even the most eye-catching division of "Witch" is easily surpassed by "Love Formula".

More and more looking forward to Shen Xin's long comics...

"Oh, Xiaoli..." Yan Fan suddenly remembered something.

"Huh?" Xiaoli picked up the small mirror and shot her cheek.

"Have you read the book?" Yan Fan asked.

The little mirror almost fell from Xiaoli's hand. She looked around in a panic and found that everyone else was busy with her own affairs. Then she calmed down and combed her hair. "Sister Yan, what are you talking about? I... ...How could I have seen those things?"

"So, you don't know the level of Chen Zijiao?" Yan Fan asked.

"Of course... Sister Yan, it's not that I said, Doujin's painter, how many people use real names? If it wasn't to leave contact information for Wang Wenhong, wouldn't Shen Xin write the name on the cover?" Xiao Li Reminded.

Too.

Yan Wan nodded.

"However, gossip news, you just listen to it." Xiao Li suddenly lowered her voice, "Do you know why Wang Wenhong is interested in that kid?"

"do not know."

"Painter. Especially in the portrayal of women, it is very delicate. It is said that Wang Wenhong just looked at the cover and determined that this was the person he wanted."

...Smudged.

Yan Wen knew what Xiaoli said, but it sounded weird.

Just then, a chunky middle-aged man walked into the office.

"Everyone puts down their hands first-a meeting!" The middle-aged man clapped his hands twice and turned to leave.

Other editors put down their work and walked towards the door.

"The editor-in-chief seems to be very unhappy." Yan Wei has been in "New World" for half a year. She has never seen the editor in such a hurry.

"It seems that the pressure brought about by "Dreamer" is great." Xiao Li cracked her teeth and stood up from the seat.

Yan Fu also looked helpless, picked up the notepad and followed Xiaoli out of the office.

...

Shen Xin came home and put the name on the table.

Xi Mumo participated in the school's final sprint training to prepare for the upcoming senior high school entrance examination.Even if Shen Xin is not happy, he will show his hand tonight.

Just grabbed a handful of rice, suddenly remembered the taste of fried rice, and poured the rice back.

Cherish life, stay away from fried rice... or eat instant noodles?

Bring the hot water to a boil, pour it on the bubble surface, and then press the seal with a notepad.

After doing all this, Shen Xin finally had time to recheck the name.

"Delete two misunderstandings, but also attract people... Um... yes,

With a sip of it, Shen Xin took a dip, and Shen Xin picked up a pencil and quickly made notes, and then changed the name.

There are many similarities between this world and the earth, but there are also many different places. The most prominent difference is on the Internet.

Take the cartoonist industry, although digital tablets have appeared, but because of the relatively high price, and the early investment is also relatively large, and because the technology is not yet mature, the pen pressure of the digital tablet and the real pen and paper, There is still a certain gap, so Shen Xin still uses traditional tools to paint.

At noon the next day, Shen Xin met with Yan Fan again and gave the name to Yan Fan.

"80 points."

After watching Yan Wei three times, he scored a more intuitive score.

"What's still missing?" Shen Xin wondered.

"Breaking is ok, the composition is ok, even if it is printed and published, it is completely okay. But the relationship between the foreshadowing in front and the conflict behind is relatively blunt-and, again, your "potential" is not fully squeezed out ."

press?

Shen Xin has a black line, can you say another word.

Cough, can't think to the crooked place.

"Can you be more specific?" Shen Xin asked quietly.

Yan Wei took a sip of coffee and said softly, "Please combine your style with the plot."

"My style?" Shen Xin questioned.

"Yes, the foreshadowing and conflict are a little blunt, but if you add the elements you are good at, it may make this comic a classic." Yan Wen stared at Shen Xin, his bright eyes unrevealed to him. Expectation.

"Excuse me, what element am I good at?" Shen Xin wondered.

"Fat ci."

Yuck, you are good at fat ci!

Shen Xin was very dissatisfied with Yan Fu's "slander" towards him.

"In "Witch", your portrayal of fat ci and even the fruit body is very good. This is a bonus item. I told you the last time. As a result, you still don't listen." Yan Wei emphasized again.

"That is the illustration on "Pink Circle", I am just imitating it." Shen Xin quickly explained.

"It doesn't matter..." Yan Wei patted the table with both hands, ignoring Shen Xin's protest. "I only care about the result, even if it's a short story, I have to overwhelm others. Unless...you are not confident in yourself!"

"What a joke?" Shen Xin's grumpy temper also came up, "Isn't it just fat ci? What's difficult? But give me three or four days...I'm sure to straighten out all the plots."

"This is no problem... By the way, there is one thing to remind you that you are still a newcomer, so if you want to submit this comic to the meeting, you must submit the manuscript. One and a half months is enough?" Yan Duan asked.

"Original? Reluctant?" Shen Xin frowned.

The short chapters are not long, and there are no long comics to consume energy.

However, because there is no helper, all the content, including name, hook line, black-out, white-out, URL, line drawing, and even pencil writing... These operations must be done by yourself-speaking, It's really time-consuming.

However, as a newcomer, you must draw the manuscript in advance. After all, everyone’s understanding of the newcomer is a blank piece of paper, so you must draw the manuscript and let the editor see your own painter to get their approval.

The meeting this time set a general direction for the name of the comic. Shen Xin's next step is to adjust the name again in the shortest possible time.
