My Cartoonist Strategy

"Then we won?" Gao Hang rejoiced.

"Not necessarily." Shen Xin shook his head. "If the next story is interesting, these loopholes are not significant."

The showdown with Chen Zijiao will last for several weeks before a victory or defeat can be achieved. A comic or two can't change the situation.

Shen Xin has acted for two weeks in a row, at least seized the opportunity, but Chen Zijiao will not remain silent. This time the change in comic style is his reaction.

Many of the following things are no longer under the control of the two people, so Shen Xin only needs to do what he has done.

Compared to the change in Shaky, Shen Xin is interested in another short comic.

He is familiar with this comic and even read the first version of this comic.

A month ago, Qiao Yu sent the cartoon to his hands.

At that time, it was a dark fairy tale. Although it had a certain connotation, it was not suitable for publication in the juvenile comics because the scene was too depressed and dark.Therefore, Shen Xin's opinion is to revise the name again.

Later, the comic strip deleted the "brother and sister choice of life and death", but still did not pass the editor-in-chief.Unexpectedly, this comic was published in "Dreamer" in another form.

The previous name used the dwarf as the first perspective, so the scene was too bloody, but this is also the characteristic of the dark fairy tale. No one is sure who will survive.This suspenseful atmosphere will attract readers and get readers' attention.

However, after the modification, the first perspective was changed to the Hunter League to encircle the dwarf, and the meaning of the dark fairy tale was greatly reduced, but it was biased towards ordinary hero comics, some of Qiao Yu’s shortcomings, such as the less solid split mirror, fighting action The lack of continuity has been magnified, making it boring to read.

Dark comics want to attract readers and also pass the review of the editorial department. They must balance the suppressed atmosphere in the comics with the content expressed on the screen. This requires the painter to repeatedly consider and modify the name so that the sub-lens can pass through the side. Describe and express the desired effect.

In this process, the name has to be modified even a dozen times.

Qiao Yu obviously has no such patience.

Both Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong gave Qiao Yu a chance, but unfortunately he couldn't grasp it. In the final analysis, it was still not possible to split and composition.

After closing the magazine, Shen Xin looked at Gao Hang and Lu Ning, "It's over here today."

"Well, I see." Lu Ning stretched his waist. "Yes, I have an exam tomorrow, but I can't come this morning."

"Well. I'm fine here, but you, don't hang up." Shen Xin put the original manuscript of Episode 18 into the file bag, and he was very relaxed.

"I can pass even if I didn't attend the class." Lu Ning retorted.

"That...Mr. Shen, can I take some background information back, I want to enrich myself." Gao Hang raised his chubby hand.

"You just read it yourself. I didn't read many of those books, and I can't recommend it to you." Shen Xin said.

"Good." Gao Hang rushed into the reception room.

At this moment, the doorbell was ringing.

"Sister Yan should come to get the manuscript." Shen Xin said.

Lu Ning hurried over to open the door, and Yan Fei outside the door froze.

Yan Fei and Lu Ning greeted each other, and hung the bib and coat on the hanger, carrying a leather bag, and came to Shen Xin's table.

"There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Yan Fei said straight away.

"Where is there so much bad news?" Shen Xin looked at Yan Fei with a serious look, his eyelids jumped.

"This bad news does not come from Chen Zijiao, but from "Penalty". So far, 250,000 copies of the penalty have been sold."

"Wait, you mean, 250,000 copies were sold in 5 days?" Shen Xin said in surprise.

"Yes, on average, 50,000 copies a day. After all, "Crime" is facing domestic readers, and the platform of "Comic Future" is not comparable to "New World." Yan Fei looked helpless. .

This... kind of like a money printer.

"In other words, after Ye Hexu and Su Han broke up, it did not affect the sales of "Penalty." But what does this have to do with me?" Shen Xin puzzled.

"I used to think that the cartoonist who painted "Penalty" was not a newcomer, but I realized today that I was wrong. The partner Su Han was looking for was a newcomer."

"In addition to Ye Hexu, "Comic Future" has other powerful newcomers? It seems that I haven't heard of it before." Shen Xin also often reads "Comic Future" and has not found such a cartoonist.

"No, this cartoonist participated in the short manga contest of "Manga Fly". It is said that Ye Hexu directly named him and asked him to take over his follow-up work on "Penalty". "Comic Future" would spend a lot of money to dig him out. "Yan Fei said.

The plot seems to be even more bloody.

and many more……

Shen Xin suddenly remembered one thing. He changed the painter before and after "Penalty". He didn't even notice the difference between the painting style and the mirror. That is to say, the strength of this cartoonist is not worse than Ye Hexu, otherwise It is impossible to imitate Ye Hexu's style.

"The cartoonist who now draws "Penalty" is..."

Shen Xin suddenly stood up, took out the latest issue of "Comic Future" from the drawer, turned to the "crime" column, and looked at the column of the painting, which read the name of the cartoonist-jump.

Needless to say, it must be a pen name.However, the pen name does not seem to drop.

The appearance of jumping jumps undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the "Rookie Award".

If the difficulty of winning the "Rookie Award" last year was "ordinary", then this year can be called a "nightmare".

Shen Xin felt a headache and rubbed his forehead to change his mood. "What is the good news?"

Yan Fei's face suddenly showed a delighted smile.

"Manjia.com, do you know?" Yan Fei asked.

"I know, the largest comic information website in China." Shen Xin nodded.

The relevant information of the previous comic festival is published on this website, and because it is the largest website in China, the forum users also come from all over the country, which is almost the vane of the trend of domestic comics.

The forum has set up different sections. Larger magazines such as the three major journals and "Girls' Century" have their own "positions" for readers.These sections usually stipulate that discussion of comics from other magazines is not allowed in the section.

The comics of the second and third line magazines are discussed in the "other" section, and this section has more than one hundred posts a month. It belongs to the unpopularity of the popular. Even if someone wants to advertise here, it has little effect.

After all, the backbone comics in many big magazines are more popular than the signature comics in small magazines.

"Yes, there is a discussion post about "Y's" in the hot post on the top of the forum." Yan Fei tapped the desktop twice.

Shen Xin blinked, and Yan Fei's words did not meet his expectations.

Now that "Penalty" is gaining momentum, the popularity of the signature comics of "Dragon King", "Hunting Abyss" and "Manga Fly" will be affected, and "Y's" has just emerged at this time.

"Why?" Shen Xin wondered.

"You don't know the reason?" Yan Fei asked back.

Shen Xin shook his head.

"The color pages of the latest words have attracted many people's attention." Yan Fei said with a smile. "Many people are attracted by the color pages inside, and then extend from the screen to the plot."

Shen Xin scratched his head. At that time, he only wanted to make "Y's" have a sense of existence during the release period of "Crime", but he did not expect domestic readers to discuss it spontaneously in the forum of Manjia.com.

Is this a windfall?

"I have read that post. The reason why it was pushed up, in addition to the readers' attention to color pages, several cartoonists also have a high opinion of color pages. In other words, it is a technical post." Yan Fei Said excitedly.

Discussing a work alone has limited heat, especially during the period when the "Penalty" is sold out, it is very difficult to attract readers' attention.But the technical stickers are different. It will attract some amateur and even professional painters.

Due to the participation of well-known persons, such posts usually attract the attention of netizens.
