My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 32
"Okay, first of all, all the manuscripts are collected." After Yan Wei counted the manuscripts, he put the manuscripts in the file bag. "The extra colorful manuscripts are also very beautiful and hard."
"Where is this? This is what I should do. Next, it's up to Sister Yan." Shen Xin felt a little guilty.
"Relax, I know." Yan Fan waved his hand.
"Well, if the editor does not agree, don't force it."
Watching Yan Wei go down the stairs, Shen Xin returned to the studio again.
"Two people, you can go back first today. Thank you both during this time."
In order to catch up with the progress, Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying have been here to help this evening. They finally finished the first sketch on the weekend of the second week, four or five days earlier than expected.
Xi Mumo also ran over the weekend.
She couldn't do anything related to the comics, she just cleaned the studio's hygiene, boiled water and made tea, and bought food.When there is leisure time, he stands behind two assistants and observes the work of the two.
Shen Xin noticed Xi Mumo's move and thought that she was only curious about the assistant's work, so she didn't care about it.
After sending the two away, Shen Xin returned to his workbench again, stretched out, pulled out a piece of original paper, and began to copy the sketch.
From now on, Shen Xin will begin to draw the second sentence.
This must be completed within a week, otherwise, his future updates will be very difficult.
After adapting to this period of time, the speed at which Shen Xin draws comics has also increased.Of course, it can't be compared with cartoonists who have been engaged in the comic industry for more than ten years, but compared with the first words of "Love Equation" and "Y's", the proficiency must have improved a lot.
After hurriedly drawing four or five pages of sketches, Shen Xin raised his head and looked out the window, and found that the sky was dark, but Xi Mumo was sitting at the assistant's workbench, holding a book and reading with relish.
"Xiao Yun, what kind of book do you read?" Shen Xin asked curiously.
Xi Mumo immediately raised the book, ""What is the script", found in the study."
"Ah?" Shen Xin couldn't help crying and laughing, and couldn't understand what she was doing in this book. "That's right, can high school study keep up?"
"Should it be okay?" Xi Mumo raised his head and thought for a while. If he said "easy", he would seem to be telling lies. Instead of this, it would be more subtle.
Sure enough, after listening to these words, Shen Xin nodded slightly and wanted to say something to study hard, but thinking about it, Xi Mumo's academic performance was already very good. He seemed to be unqualified to teach her something. Remind Xi Mumo that it is best not to fall in love early.
"Poof." Xi Mumo, who was reading the book, suddenly laughed out loud, "Brother Xin, do you know? This sentence came out of your mouth... feeling quite happy."
"What's wrong?" Shen Xin was confused.
"Er... Xin Brother, you are now drawing a high school student's love cartoon, but the result is not to let others fall in love." Xi Mumo tried very hard to restrain himself, and finally did not laugh out loud.
"..."
Shen Xin opened his mouth, and this little Nizi "has ruled his body with his own way", he really can't refute it.
Looking at Shen Xin's depressed face, Xi Mumo also put a smile on his face, and said: "Brother Xin, you are so busy now, how can I have time to take care of these? Anyway...after high school will not talk."
"It's up to you to decide these things yourself." Shen Xin accuses, picking up the pencil and composing again.
Really, why don’t you mention it?
Because Xi Mumo was in the studio, Shen Xin didn't dare to work too late. Just after eight o'clock, she asked her to pack up her clothes and prepare to go home.
"So early?" Xi Mumo stood up from his seat.
"It's not too early, you will have class tomorrow." Shen Xin explained.
"How about you?"
"Me? I must die here... I am now a professional cartoonist,
Xi Mucu squeezed his mouth, somewhat helpless.
"Okay, don't think about it, I am also fulfilling my dream... Go home." Shen Xin reminded.
"Oh, wait a minute, I want to find some books to read." Xi Mumo quickly returned to Shen Xin's study, and pulled out several books written by love novels and scripts.
Shen Xin blinked his eyes, becoming more and more confused about Xi Mumo's thoughts.
The next day, Yan Fan gave Shen Xin's manuscript to the editor in chief.
"So fast?" The editor-in-chief froze for a moment, but did not expect Shen Xin to finish the draft four or five days in advance.
"In the past two weeks, Shen Xin has been busy with these two manuscripts, not even going to school. The two assistants are also very good. They work overtime every day before they finish the manuscript of the first episode." Yan Wei explained Say.
The editor nodded subconsciously, but his eyes looked straight at the color manuscript in his hand.
When he looked at the name, he felt that the first three pages were definitely the biggest selling point of the first episode, and now, the color pages drawn by Shen Xin confirm his guess.
Shen Xin's color is not as gorgeous as the color pages of "Shaky", but the detail and realism are better than "Shaky", or, with the "photo", it complements each other perfectly. Astringent and pure, completely outlined by Shen Xin.
It is difficult for him to compare the first words of "Shaky" and "Y's" because the style is different.But if he says which one he prefers, there is no doubt that it must be "Y's", because only "Y's" is published in the "New World Weekly"
After turning over three "photos", the texture of the color pages suddenly diminished.
This is partly because Shen Xin’s coloring level still needs to be improved. The more important reason is that the color pages of the first three pages leave more space and can be more delicately colored, while the subsequent manuscripts are divided. Crossed out, the impact on vision is reduced.
Not only "Y's" will be divided into different color pages, in fact, almost all comics are like this, including "Shaky" is no exception.
At the serial meeting, the editor-in-chief had already seen the name of Shen Xin, and the direction of the story was roughly understood.Even so, when he read the manuscript, he still felt that he was still not fully satisfied.
The deputy editor-in-chief had already put down the job at hand, and Yu Guang aimed at the editor-in-chief. After the other party put down the manuscript, he could borrow it and read it.
As a result, the editor-in-chief read it again immediately after reading, and at the same time tapped the table with his finger, the brain kept running.
Shen Xin's "Y's" first words surpassed his imagination, and the painter was better than "Love Formula".
Now, he finally has a good card in his hand, but how to play this card really makes him quite brainy.
When Yan Wei heard the indecisive editor, he also had confidence in his heart. "Editor, to be honest, I think the quality of "Y's" can completely compete with "Shaky". Can't we make a publicity? Even if it's just It is also good to print two posters."
"Poster?" The editor's eyebrows moved slightly, and then he shook his head. "I'm afraid, time is running out, right? It may affect the progress of the next sentence."
"It's too late!" Yan Fan put an envelope on the table again. "I also let Shen Xin draw the color page for the poster."
The muscles on the editor's face jumped a bit, feeling like he was counted by Yan Wei, but he still picked up the envelope and pulled out the two color pages inside. When he saw the content above, his eyes became brighter.
