My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 79: The crazy Chen Zijiao
After returning home, Shen Xin re-read this post. In addition to the five full-page color pictures posted by the landlord, several people commented on the illustrations.
"From these illustrations, it should be the male host who confessed to the female host at the pier. Generally speaking, the color page is a plus for comics, but in the scene of this story, the color page is easy to reduce points.
"Because the confession time chosen by the male host is at night, it is more appropriate to use black and white comics for such scenes. The dot paper can be very complementary to the picture, but the color page is difficult to achieve this effect. The night sky is similar to the hair color, even if it is right If the hair is left blank, it will be easily confused with the background border.
"But the author of this cartoon used the light of the street lamp to isolate the night sky from the characters, so the shortcomings just now no longer exist, and the colors have a high degree of distinction..."
This answerer named "Amy" basically said what Shen Xin thought.
The story of Episode 17 takes place at night. Black and white comics use dotted paper to show the difference between gray and black, which separates the night sky from the characters.
However, the color page comics are not. The night sky is mostly black. In this way, the advantages of Caiman will disappear.
In order to make good use of the color pages, Shen Xin re-composed the words and used the lights of street lamps to show the delicate colors.
I didn't expect this netizen named "Amy" to read it so seriously. Moreover, it is not difficult to see from the netizen's message below that this person is also a cartoonist, but his identity was not revealed in the message.
The speeches of Amy and several subsequent cartoonists made "Y's" popular on the "Manjia" forum.
The next day, someone posted a post related to Shaky, but few people were watching.Finally, this post also imitated the hot post of "Y's", and found several cartoonists to advocate "Shaky".
However, "Shattering" is not a color page. In the eyes of these senior friends, it does not show much technical content in the aspects of mirroring, composition, and even painting, and the only plot that can be handed out also exists. Loopholes.
As a result, the post of "Y's" became hotter, while the post of "Shaky" was uninterested.
Chen Zijiao was so desperate that he wished to have theory with these people himself, but was stopped by Wang Wenhong.
theory?How about theory?Others are telling the truth. You really can’t explain it. A martial arts master will be discovered by a security guard.
"You and Shen Xin's victory or defeat will depend on the next few words... There are also three autograph sessions. What you need to do now is to draw the next cartoon and attract the readers." Wang Wenhong patiently comforted Road.
Wang Wenhong finally left Chen Zijiao's studio and turned around but was stopped by Qiao Yu.
"Wang... what is my short comic?"
Looking at Qiao Yu, who was looking forward to his face, Wang Wenhong didn't dare to say that the short comic was already "Serving the Street", so he embarrassedly shot Qiao Yu's shoulder twice.
"The comics are very good, but the audience is relatively narrow. Do you think about the "Kingdom" comics a little bit? Hot-blooded comics like "Hunting Abyss" are easy to get attention."
Suddenly, Qiao Yu opened his mouth slightly, and his heart was cold.
After the coloring page in Chapter 17, Shen Xin's work flow finally returned to normal, and his physical strength and energy were briefly rested.
On the Internet, readers have heated discussions on the latest "Y's".
"Iori seems to have rejected Yi Gui's confession."
"Ah... The evil Teacher Shen, can't you consider the reader's mood?"
"You see more clearly. Iori did not refuse. She just thought Yi Gui was telling a ghost story, so she covered her ears before Yi Gui confessed."
"Yi Gui also died. When he confessed, he even said,'From a long, long time ago...',
"I learned one hand, and I should avoid this situation when I confess in the future."
"Shattering" is also getting better. Simon Menya was misunderstood by his friends. Except for the heroine Xiao Yuqian, everyone else wants Simon Men to follow.Under forced helplessness, Ximen Yao could only walk across the wall, and at the same time determined that he must find the real murderer.
With the development of the story, the plot has a little "blood".
Many readers began to look forward to, Xi Menyao shined in the next remarks, and grabbed the murderer, the evaluation of "Shaky" gradually began to rise.
Shen Xin had to admire the determination of Wang Wenhong and Chen Zijiao, and even used such a story at the most critical time.
Of course, the most vigorous trend is still "Penalty". The sales volume of a single book in the first week has reached 300,000, which has become a big sale in the recent period.
Perhaps due to the influence of the "Manjia.com" post, the sales volume of the first volume of "Y's" has also increased. Although it is not too much, it has made a difference in the sales department that is considering whether to recycle the first volume. sound.
In the end, the president made a final decision. In the next issue of the magazine, not only will the second volume of "Y's" be promoted, but if someone buys the first and second volumes of "Y's" by mail, there will be a 5% discount.
The atmosphere of the entire Yunhai comics market is becoming more and more tense. In Yunhai, the duel between "Shaky" and "Y's" is gradually heating up. The salesmen of the two magazines have also started to fight for the profitable stalls. , Try to do everything possible to block each other’s posters.
In the end, "Shattering", which came out before the release date, prevailed.
On January 20, the second volume of "Shattering" was officially released. Chen Zijiao was delighted, and Wang Wenhong and the staff of the sales department came to the roaming bookstore.
The bookstore pulled up a banner-Long Xishui's autograph book sale.
Chen Zijiao saw this banner, his cheeks were slightly warm, "Long Xishui" was not printed on the cover of the book, but it did appear to be very secondary on the banner. He had to behave naturally in the face of readers, which was too tired. .
He is not good at disguising.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Su Han's original work?"
The boy at the forefront was holding the newly published "Shattering" and his face was full of questions.
"Yes." Chen Zijiao's eyelids jumped.
This is not his reader, but Su Han's.
"Why didn't Teacher Su come?"
"Do you want to promote "Penalty"?" Chen Zijiao patiently signed the pen name on the title page of the comic.
"Then why "Crime" and "Shaky Fall" are to be released together? Can't I ask her to come over?" the boy asked.
"Next... next time."
This sentence squeezed out of Chen Zijiao's teeth.
"Oh, then I will buy two more next time."
Chen Zijiao almost vomited blood. Was this guy deliberately angry with him?
Wang Wenhong quickly sent a bottle of mineral water to let him pass the air.
Since he is already sitting here, he is a public figure, so he must pay attention to his image.
Chen Zijiao also knew the importance of this autograph session, and he took the breath and let the second reader come.
Writing his name smoothly, Chen Zijiao handed the book to the reader.
"Hello, I am your loyal reader."
"Thank you for your support." Chen Zijiao has a wide heart and still has readers.
"I have a question to ask you."
"Ok?"
"Why is your pen name called'Dragon Play Water'?"
"..."
Chen Zijiao is a little crazy, can this be signed happily?
