My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 93
Into the extremely diffuse, comic elements rushed across the face.
Above the middle channel, there are advertisements for various comics. The signature comics of the three major magazines must be listed. In addition, there are comics launched by first-rate magazines such as "Man Weekly" and "Girls' Century."
The bookstore also defines different areas based on the type of comics, such as reasoning, passion, sports, love, fairy, horror and other areas.
On the sign at the door, Shen Xin even saw the youth comics and 18X comics, but these comics are on the third floor of Jiman Bookstore, and if you want to go in, you must first check your ID card.
In Xinman Bookstore, Shen Xin also found "Y's".
Its location is relatively remote, after all, a good place is to give the signature comics of the three major journals, as well as some single copies of the translations introduced from the 11th district.
In general, the remaining volume of the "Y's" single book is more than that of the surrounding comics. Moreover, the location is more conspicuous at this small stall. The extremely diffuse shop staff did not know where to find one. The woven posters, posted on the back wall, also played a role in attracting readers.
To a certain extent, "Y's" is more valued than comics in other non-mainstream magazines, but it can't be compared with the signature comics of the three major magazines.
In comparison, the sales of "Crime" are much better. Shen Xin only stayed for more than ten minutes, and three people picked up the booklet of "Crime" and went to pay the bill.
Shen Xin wandered around again, and finally stopped in front of "Dragon King Biography".
"Dragon King Biography" serialized in "Comic Future" for 8 years, published 28 single-line books, each one is a big sale, and even a few single-week sales exceeded one million sales, almost a national comic.
The story is still a bloody style, the actor is a child reincarnated by the Dragon King, was born in a small village.He had never seen his father, but was dependent on his mother.After growing up a little, the actor didn't return after a night of hunting.Waiting for dawn and wanting to go home, he found that he was already in a vicious place full of monsters.
The male protagonist can only survive hard, desperately wanting to return to his hometown, and finally walks out of the dangerous place, but finds that the place where he lives lives together with his hometown.
On the way back, he accidentally learned about his father...
The overall style of the comics tends to be neat, and little dot paper is used. Many scenes are supplemented with effect lines. Some are similar to Huo Ying, and the style of painting is very consistent with the story.
At the same time, in order to highlight the appearance of monsters, Wang Yunze used cross editions more than once, and the detailed depiction of monsters brought a strong impact to the audience, which is why "Dragon King" is sought after by readers.
The whole manga that surprised Shen Xin most was not Wang Yunze's painter, but his split shot.
Being able to use only a few divisions will make the opening story clear, which is much smarter than Ye Hexu, and even more powerful than he is now.
The fighting mirror is also very smooth, the characters' movements are natural, and there is no sense of rigidity.
"I really deserve Teacher Wang, so powerful."
Closing "Dragon King Biography", Shen Xin couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, "Dragon King Biography" was the hottest comic last year, and most of the comics are no match for him."
A sound suddenly came from Shen Xin's ear. He looked at the left and right subconsciously, but found that on the right side, a teenager also picked up "Dragon King Biography".
Speaking of being a teenager, Shen Xin judged from his height.He should be less than one meter six and five, taller than Ji Yinxuan, but not comparable to Xi Muhan.
He has short, broken hair, wearing a blue pullover sweater, and a Bluetooth headset hanging around his neck.
Today's weather is at most four or five degrees. Isn't this teenager cold?
"By the way, Teacher Shen, aren't you in the sea of clouds? Why did you come to Hongchuan?" The teenager looked up at Shen Xin.
The young facial features are exquisite and the smile is wide,
"Do you know me?" Shen Xin wondered.
"Of course, I've seen your photos at the autograph session. After all, it's a competitor, so I'm very interested in you." Teenager Yaoya smiled.
"Rival?" Shen Xin rubbed his chin. He couldn't remember his competitive relationship with the teenager. "Sorry, may I ask you..."
"Hey, I forgot to introduce myself, cough... My name is Ye Hexu." The teenager put down "Dragon King Biography" and said with a laugh.
Eh?
Shen Xin blinked and blinked, his brain a little confused.
"Wait... you mean, your name is Ye Hexu?"
The teenager nodded again and again.
"You and the author of "Hunting Abyss" have the same name?"
"...No, I am the author of "Hunting Abyss."" Ye Hexu said seriously.
Shen Xin arms around his chest and thinks for a moment, it is really difficult for him to associate the little man in front of him with Ye Hexu.
Taking note of Ye Hexu's eyes, Shen Xin quickly explained: "Sorry, I don't know how young you are."
"I'm 19 years old, but I'm shorter." Ye Hexu dissatisfied.
Shorter...?
Shen Xin coughed dryly, "I didn't expect to meet you here. Sorry, I haven't seen your picture before."
"It's okay, I'm a low-key person, I don't care much about these." Ye Hexu smiled, "Wait a moment."
With that said, Ye Hexu ran to the booth of "Y's" and took a set of "Y's" to the cash register.
When the cashier saw Ye Hexu, he was extremely attentive, and then turned his head to look at Shen Xin. His eyes were also very bright, and he gave Ye Hexu a sign pen without hesitation.
After paying the money, Ye Hexu tore off the plastic seal and handed "Y's" to Shen Xin.
"signature."
"No need?"
"Why not? Although we are competitors, before that, I was your book fan."
Shen Xin also said that Ye Hexu was not making fun of himself, but he was serious, but Ye Hexu had already handed him the pen, and he had to write the word "Shen Zheng" in his handwriting.
"It would be nice if "Y's" was published in "Comic Future". Everyone's starting point was the same, so it would be interesting to compare." Ye Hexu sandwiched the two books under his armpits and narrowed his eyes. "But from the current point of view, you The chance of getting a newcomer award is too small."
"Now there are still a few months left for the Newcomer Award. Are you saying this, is it too arbitrary?" Shen Xin asked back.
"Not at all. This is not a place to talk. Should you find a coffee shop?" Ye Hexu pointed to the door and said.
"nearby?"
If you remember correctly, there should be many themed cafes nearby.
"Yes, come with me." Ye Hexue turned away from the door regardless of Shen Xin's opinion.
Shen Xin touched his trouser pocket, leaving only 170 yuan, and secretly sighed, hoping not to be too expensive.
Ye Hexu chose a cat girl cafe. When Shen Xin just entered the cafe, there were two girls wearing pink maid skirts and cat ear hair cards bowing slightly at him. Lead to an empty table.
The two ordered a cup of coffee each, and Ye Hexu asked for more desserts. The catwoman took the menu and walked to the counter.
"Why do you say that my chance is small?" Shen Xin asked back.
"Because your opponent in the "Rookie Award" is me... and Su Han and Xiaotiao." Ye Hexu said with a smile.
"I know you are very powerful, but this does not mean that I have no chance?" Shen Xin puzzled.
"Of course you have a chance, but..." Ye Hexu rubbed his hands for a moment and thought, "Do you know, "Y's" is less than our comics?"
"market?"
Ye Hexu shook his head, "The market is the foundation, but any comic award, the final fight is resources." Ye Hexu said seriously.
