My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 13 Look away
Dreamer magazine is very busy recently.
The authors they signed before were all published on a monthly basis, and now "Dreamer" is revised, all contracts must be re-signed, and the workload of editing has also increased.
Wang Wenhong not only has to worry about work, but he also has one thing to worry about-he saw the "Formula of Love" drawn by Shen Xin.
Originally, he should not pay attention to Shen Xin's comics, but the goddamn actually used his real name.
When he saw the new issue of "New World", he was attracted by the word "Shen Xin".Originally thinking of being able to watch a joke, as a result, "Formula of Love" surprised him.
Really look away.
Looking back now at "Witch" carefully, there is no impression at all, but the plot is quite cliché.
However, this "Formula of Love" is completely different. If you only look at the storyboard, it is much better than Chen Zijiao. Even if it is the most popular issue that he has been criticized for, it is also not seen in this book.
The story is about a pair of high school students who have a crush on each other before graduating from high school.
First, there was an incident of losing fat ci in the school, and the heroine was also implicated. The heroine secretly investigated, but was mistaken for a thief who stole fat ci. The heroine also misunderstood the heroine at this time.
During the graduation tour, Hao Jiyou secretly helped the actor and the two sides reconciled, but then there was another misunderstanding, which made the atmosphere very embarrassing.But the two had more contact because of this misunderstanding.
Finally, at the graduation ceremony, the male protagonist expressed his heart anonymously in front of the teachers and students of the school. Finally, he told everyone that this is just a compiled story, just to let everyone cherish their feelings.
In this way, the two young men who fooled each other in their hearts did not have the courage to stand in front of each other and confess.
In the last two pages, four years later, the two met again and looked at each other with a smile, all emotions were included.
How many truths are told through stories?
If the two were more courageous at the time, maybe they would be together one day earlier.
The story is an open ending, without breaking the relationship between each other, but the destiny of the two has been closely linked.
After reading the book, people felt that they were still not satisfied, but there was a touch of warmth in their hearts.
The shyness of girls and the indecision of teenagers were all accurately expressed by Shen Xin through the mirror and delicate painting.
There are also fat ci and lou backs throughout the article, but there are not many scenes, which adds flavor to the entire comic.
If this comic was independently completed by Shen Xin, his potential is no less than that of Chen Zijiao.
No, compared with Shen Xin, the only advantage of Chen Zijiao is the more gorgeous painter, especially in color painting.
Wang Wenhong sighed secretly, brought up the file package containing the latest issue of "New Weekly", and was going to Chen Zijiao's studio to collect the manuscript, but the female editor next door secretly stopped Wang Wenhong.
"Hello, Brother Wang, did you watch the latest issue of "New World"? There is a nice short story in it. The author is Shen Xin. It should be the real name. Well, it looks familiar."
"Not seen, not familiar, don't know."
Wang Wenhong glanced at the female editor angrily. Can you be familiar?You were there at that fan show.At that time, I was picking you up, and I was not happy... forget it, not to mention, depressed.
Wang Wenhong hurriedly left the editing room and took the subway to the door of Chen Zijiao's studio.
When he knocked on the door of the room, a breath of cool air greeted him, leaving him in a spirit.
"Brother, please come in." A middle-aged man with thick round lenses saw Wang Wenhong and greeted him quickly.
This person is the assistant Wang Wenhong deliberately found for Chen Zijiao. The drawing background is not good, but on the black, white, and effect lines,
Wang Wenhong nodded and walked straight into the room.
This is a four-room, two-hall room, with three assistants' worktables in the living room.The office of Chen Zijiao is in the study.
Wang Wenhong pushed open the study room, and Chen Zijiao was standing in front of the mirror by the wall, tidying up the flower shirt on his body.
Noting that Wang Wenhong pushed the door in, Chen Zijiao turned around and a smile appeared on his face.
"Long time no see, brother."
"How is the manuscript?" Wang Wenhong asked.
"The first word has been completed, and the second word is in production." Chen Zijiao sorted his collar, with a light smile on his face.
Wang Wenhong was relieved.
The first word is the color page, which is also the longest part. When Chen Zijiao finished the first word, Wang Wenhong's pressure was much less.
Chen Zijiao picked up an envelope on the table and handed it to Wang Wenhong, "Brother Wang, first look at the quality of the color pages."
"I was able to identify you immediately because of the cover you drew, so the quality of the color pages must be fine, right?" So, Wang Wenhong pulled out the manuscript and glanced at the manuscript, his eyes were immediately attracted .
Chen Zijiao's perseverance in color is like his pursuit of clothes. A lot of very strong colors are used in the drafts. After the watercolor pen is dipped in the advertising white, it is painted on the highlights, which creates a visual sense of luxury.
From the entire page composition to the folds on the character's clothing, all the details seem to be counted by Chen Zijiao.
Because Wang Wenhong had already seen the name before, so he had a general understanding of the following mirrors.However, when he saw the mirror of the manuscript, he found that there were no small changes, and even a full page appeared.
"Did you change the split lens?"
"Yes, I did change it, how is the effect?" Chen Zijiao asked.
"The impact is stronger... The other breakups are also good." Wang Wenhong looked through the breakups and was excited.
Although Shen Xin is also good, from the current point of view, Chen Zijiao is obviously better.
Chen Zijiao and Su Han... the two are geniuses in their respective fields, and their cooperation is almost unsolvable among their peers.
The corner of Chen Zijiao's mouth was slightly tilted, and his eyes showed a proud look.
"It's okay. He's better than ordinary newcomers, but he can't compare with you. I compared your manuscript with his manuscript. I think your manuscript is better." Wang Wenhong touched the document package, the new "New" World does not need to be taken out, let Chen Zijiao read it?
"Of course, er" historical people." Chen Zijiao laughed softly.
Wang Wenhong just wanted to remind Chen Zijiao, don’t be too proud, but another thought, this comic is a collaboration between Su Han and Chen Zijiao, maybe it can really reach a very high height, um, even have the opportunity to win the crown of "newcomer king" .
Before publishing a manuscript, Wang Wenhong has begun to imagine what happened afterwards.
...
At the same time, a teenager sitting in a swivel chair in an apartment in Hongchuan City picked up the G pen and outlined the line draft on the manuscript paper.
The mobile phone placed on the desktop suddenly rang, and the G pen in the boy's hand stopped. After a moment of contemplation, he pressed the speakerphone.
"Hey, Teacher Ye, the first words will be published next week. Are the first three words prepared?"
"Well." The teenager lowered his head and continued to draw the manuscript.
"Ms. Ye, please be sure to get the next "New King"."
The teenager’s pen stopped because of too much force, and the tip of the G pen protruded to the sides. After a little bit of contemplation, he said: "It’s boring, I don’t want to get the'new king'. I just want to see more interesting comics , Huaxia’s comics shouldn’t be so boring."
"Teacher Ye is still so casual."
Casual?
The teenager named Ye raised his head, thought a little, put on noise-cancelling earplugs, and continued to paint with his head down.
"Hey, teacher, didn't you tell you, don't wear noise-cancelling earplugs when talking to someone on the phone?"
The assistant behind him noticed the editor's loud questioning from the mobile phone, and the teenager didn't answer, so he quickly turned around and saw the teenager put on earplugs.
This teacher... not only speaks casually, but also does not care about others.
The assistant sighed helplessly.
