My Cartoonist Strategy

Chapter 11 Waiting

When he first painted the name, Shen Xin didn't think it was too difficult to draw a qualified love cartoon.

The story is okay, and the storyboard and composition are also okay. Coupled with the experience of publishing doujinshi, if you want to draw an excellent short comic, you should get it right.

But when he copied the sketch, he suddenly found that the situation was not that simple. Because he had never been in love, he didn’t understand how to contact the crush, or to be more straightforward, that when the character faced the crush, The expression and movement shown.

In particular, he set the heroine as a pure girl.

For example, after walking away, the heroine suddenly finds that the hero is not far away, and the shyness that emerges on her face is difficult to grasp.

This is not the same as 18r's book. This type of comics also tests the cartoonist's handling of facial expression details, even as subtle as a look and a brow.

In order to portray the ideal effect, Shen Xin took a lot of effort, and finally used the Dongcheng Aya in "Strawberry 100%" as a template to learn her expression, only to solve this problem, but also thanks to the 100% study of the comic capsule Bonus, so that he did not delay too much time.

University exams are basically "long live one cent and suffer one less", unless some students want to get a scholarship, others only need 60 points.

Shen Xin's usual grades are not bad, but there is too little time for review, so the grades are not too high, but there is no problem with crossing the line.

After finishing the last course of the exam, Shen Xin was finally liberated, and he could focus more on sticking dotted paper, blackening and whitening.

During this period, Yan Fan also urged Shen Xin's house once. After reading Shen Xin's drawings, she never mentioned the manuscript again-the quality of the manuscript made her very satisfied.

When Shen Xin came to the magazine office of "New World" and handed over Shen Dian's manuscript to Yan Wei, he finally breathed out and his nerves relaxed, as if he was relieved.

This month has been really hard.

"Don't relax-if the readers' feedback is good, you may have to submit a serial name next month and be prepared first." Yan Wei reminded.

"So fast?" Shen Xin was surprised.

"It's unpleasant... remember to submit the three-word name first and evaluate it in the conference room. After passing, the magazine society will leave the comic strips with a few issues so that they can "finalize" the story properly. During this time, you will draw the original manuscript again." Yan Wei's eyes never left the manuscript of "Formula of Love".

"Such..." Shen Xin frowned, "Is the next one still a love comic?"

"Of course. Readers and editors recognize this comic, not others, and it is impossible for the magazine to allow newcomers to publish another type of comic, which is too risky," Yan Wei reminded.

Shen Xin nodded, even if he dared to say confidently that he could draw a best-selling comic, but the other party didn't believe it at all.

Long comics about love... Some headaches.

It really doesn't work... just copy it?

This is no way. After all, I really don’t have much experience in this area, and many of the protagonists of online novels rely on the copywriter to reach the peak of their lives.

Shen Xin also has self-knowledge. He has no problem in conceiving short-form comics, but long-form comics really exceed his current ability.

This is like writing a novel on the Internet. Many newcomers can write well the first two or three hundred thousand words, and once they exceed one million words, especially two or three million words, they will perform very hard.

This is because the author's limited control over the novel caused the later period of the novel to collapse.

Unlike most online authors, cartoonists are responsible for editing and discussing the plot, which is the advantage of cartoonists.But the responsible editor will also be promoted, etc.

In addition, he is still adjusting to this relatively strange world.

Shen Xin frowned, thinking about the pros and cons.

Yan Wei thought that Shen Xin was tangling the name of the new comic, so he patted Yan Wei's shoulder. "Don't worry, it's too early. Let's take a look at the readers' feedback. If the reader's acceptance is high, follow this model. If it doesn't work, we will think of other ways."

Shen Xin nodded, "When will the results come out? I want to know whether this short article can be published in "New World"."

"On Friday, you need to adjust your body first. These days, the cartoonist has to be turned upside down day and night, so the body can't be easily carried."

"I know, I will wait for your call that Friday?" Shen Xin got up and prepared to leave.

"There is one more thing." Yan Wei stopped Shen Xin who was about to leave.

"Huh?" Shen Xin looked at Yan Wei puzzled.

"Is there an account? After the comics are published, the manuscript fee will be charged to your account." Yan Fan said.

"Yes." Shen Xin nodded again and again, he spent so much effort, just for the manuscript fee, "Sister Yan, how much can I get?"

"The newcomer's 200 yuan page, if it is serialized, there will be 300 yuan. The price is basically the same in China. If it is the pillar of the three major publications, it may mention 500 yuan per page. So, the income this short article brings you is 8,000 yuan, but I need to remind you that this is a pre-tax manuscript fee. The magazine must definitely deduct personal income tax, and should deduct more than 800." Yan Wei looked serious.

Shen Xin nodded his head, he already knew about these contents, 7000 yuan can also help.

Xi Mumo worked in a bookstore nearby and had not returned in the evening.

Shen Xin can only wash the vegetables first and remove the withered leaves.As for cooking, for the sake of his and Xi Mumo's health, let's take a break for the time being and give the cooking work to Xi Mumo.

When washing vegetables, Shen Xin was also thinking about how to deal with serial comics. After thinking about it, Shen Xin finally decided to use Earth's comics.

When the second grade begins, he will start classes, and his sister will also go to high school. The optical fee is a lot of expenses, and then two people will have to live, which requires money.In addition to having to take classes, he didn't have much energy to think about the name of the serial comic.

Can't he beg and beg?

It is necessary to overcome the difficulties ahead, and ... can not lose to Wang Wenhong and Chen Zijiao.

After making the decision, Shen Xin also felt relaxed.

When Xi Mumo returned, the sky was completely dark.

Seeing her tired face, Shen Xin glanced at the kitchen and proposed to go out for dinner.

He asked his sister who worked for a day to continue cooking. He wasn't so cruel, but Xi Mumo strongly disagreed, washed his face, and entered the kitchen.

Shen Xin can only wash two rice and put it in the rice cooker, do his best to reduce the pressure of Xi Mumo, and at the same time, he is determined to learn to cook in the summer vacation-starting with his best egg fried rice.

For the next few days, Xi Mumo has been working in a bookstore, while Shen Xin is practicing as a painter while patiently waiting for the results of "New World".

Although he is very confident in this comic, as the date approaches, he is a little nervous.

In this anxious wait, Yan Wei finally called on Friday night.
