My Cartoonist Strategy

Chapter 113 Newcomers and Shortcomings

"The two came to me today, certainly not to come to the door, just talk about anything." Shen Xin asked.

"Well. The magazine is preparing for Zhou to start serializing in "New World" next month. He is also a contracted cartoonist for our magazine. Before serializing, he thought about visiting your "New World" "The leading cartoonist." Xiao Li said roughly.

"What is not a card? I just do my own job. In the future, everyone cheer together." Shen Xin reached out to Zhou Yang.

"No... I will learn from Teacher Shen. Draw a good-looking cartoon." Zhou Yang blushed, holding Shen Xin's hand in both hands.

There was some sweat in the palm of my hand, indicating that the boy was a little nervous.

"Well, fat... fat teacher..." Shen Xin read Zhou Zhou's pen name and felt that there was some play. "If this pen name has no special meaning to you, it's better to change it. It's too far."

I don't know why, Shen Xin whispered the pen name and always thought of "Dragon Play Water".

"I have been drinking fat sea for a while, and I feel that this pen name will make me more masculine, so I only got this name, and it doesn't have any special meaning. After two days, I will think of a new pen name." Zhou Yang Quickly explained.

Shen Xin nodded slightly, he could understand Zhou Yang's thoughts.

In fact, the pen names of many authors are random, but when the work is in flames, some pen names will be embarrassing.On the earth, there have been examples where the author’s pen name is too bad and the copyright of the work has not been sold.

"That's right. Fat...Mr. Zhou, did your assistant find it?"

"Not yet. There is something wrong with name. In the last week, you may have to redraw name." Zhou Yang scratched his head.

"For the first time, I may encounter some difficulties in creating a long story. If I adapt later, it will be much better. There is much to discuss with the editor. Don't be silent and don't make your own claims. I think most editors still I really hope that my author can be alone."

Shen Xin thought of Chen Zijiao and did not want Zhou Yang to repeat the mistakes, so he chatted a little more.

There are not many opportunities for him to contact other cartoonists.In addition to Ye Hexu and Chen Zijiao, and Zhou Yang in front of him, there is a sense of freshness in his heart, and Zhou Yang's character is also good, at least he does not reject it.

At this time, Xiaoli secretly pulled Yan Fei, Yan Fei grasped the feeling, coughed, and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Mr. Shen, do you have time now? Xiaoli and I want to talk to you separately."

"No problem." Shen Xin nodded.

Xiao Li is usually busy too. It is impossible to bring Zhou Yang to him deliberately. She should have encountered some problems.

"Teacher Zhou, you and other people stay here first. Let's discuss something." Xiao Li said to Zhou Yang.

"Well, okay." Zhou Yang nodded cleverly.

Shen Xin handed over the CD and seiyuu materials to Lu Ning and asked them to listen to the seiyuu's voice.

Lu Ning nodded slightly, although she didn't talk much, but the smile on her face told others that she was also interested in these seiyuu.

Putting the CD and materials on the table, she took out the player from her backpack, and Gao Hang and Zhou Yang also gathered around.

Shen Xin and others walked into the reception room.

After pouring a cup of boiling water for each of them, Shen Xin also sat on the single sofa and looked at Xiao Li puzzledly, "Miss Wu, what's the matter?"

Xiaoli coughed a little and felt a little embarrassed in her heart, but considering the purpose of this trip, she still said it daringly.

"Mr. Shen, this is the case... In fact, Zhou Yang is a newcomer cartoonist who is very optimistic about the magazine. Song Shao even wants him to reach your current standard. Not long ago, Zhou Yang's editor in charge was Li Jiming. Perhaps the president thought Zhou Yang was not very good at communicating, so I replaced Li Jiming. I also know that it is difficult for Zhou Yang to surpass you,

"Although his name is somewhat new, but after careful analysis, I can clearly feel the shortcomings, and I can only find a few shortcomings. So, if possible, I would like to ask you to help me with suggestions? Or, tell me how you are From a newcomer to a professional cartoonist."

If the average newcomer is fine, Xiaoli always fears that he will be delayed because of a newcomer like Zhou Yang who is under special care.

Uh……

Shen Xin did not expect Xiaoli to have this problem.Indeed, for newcomers, getting started is important.

However, Shen Xin could not help.

This is not a question of whether he wants to help Xiaoli, but he does not know how newcomers should create best-selling comics.

"Y's" was drawn based on "I"s, and the story itself was relatively complete, so he did not know what method a newcomer cartoonist should use to get readers' approval.

Everything is natural and it comes naturally.Want him to say one, two, three, four... In addition to the experience given by the comic capsule, he really doesn't know what to say.

Shen Xin fell into contemplation, and Xiao Li did not dare to speak out, and could only secretly hold Yan Fei's hand.

"Can I have a look at his name?" Shen Xin thought for a long time, but did not come up with a very good way. He could only start with name.

Whether the work is in full swing depends partly on the author's strength and partly on luck.Even an experienced editor can hardly determine whether a work can be sold.

Therefore, Shen Xin can only look at the name first, and then think about whether he can make some suggestions.

Xiao Li quickly handed the name to Shen Xin, and whispered: "I think his name is too scattered, and there is no problem, and the comics are progressing too fast. Only three words were drawn, and the protagonist participated in two fights."

Shen Xin quickly read the name of "Ghost Trend", pondered a little, closed the name again, and returned it to Xiaoli.

"You're right, this comic is advancing a bit faster. Moreover, the background is not clearly explained. I feel a little anxious and the content is too dry. This is a disadvantage of the newcomer."

Xiaoli heard Shen Xin's words, her brow furrowed, as she expected.

"Then... is there any way to make up?" Xiao Li quickly asked.

"How to..." Shen Xin rubbed his nose, and after a long thought, he said an old saying, "See more and practice more."

"See more and practice more?"

Xiao Li's face twitched twice, and Yan Fei also rubbed her forehead.

These four words are simply a panacea and can be used everywhere.

"In addition, there are two ways. First, draw a few more short comics, on the one hand, it is recognized by the reader, and on the other hand, the short story also helps to improve the author's ability to control the overall situation; second, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is just like Chen Zijiao, looking for an original. There is a complete experience first. This is the safest way."

Xiaoli drummed her cheeks, but she was not too reconciled. "Mr. Shen, what kind of height do you think "Ghost Trend" can be serialized?"

"Probably... 40 words? If he writes down at this rate, about 40 words will come to an end."

Shen Xin combined with his own understanding, plus the experience brought by the comic capsule, got the approximate number of chapters.But such predictions are often inaccurate. Many times, comics collapse because of a small factor.

Forty words...that is, less than a year...

Sweat oozed from Xiao Li's forehead.

"But these are just predictions, if he grows up quickly, it may also become the signboard of "New World"." Shen Xin said with a smile.

If so, that’s fine.

Xiaoli made a nuisance and sighed in her heart.

Three people left the reception room and came to the living room.

Lu Ning wears headphones and listens to CDs. Gao Hang looks at the seiyuu materials intently, with a wretched smile on his face, and nods from time to time.As for Zhou Yang, he read some drafts, and even Xiaoli came out of the parlor without knowing it.

Xiao Li walked to Zhou Yang, glanced at the manuscript in Zhou Yang's hand, and found that it was the name before "Y's".

"Teacher Zhou, if there is nothing else, shall we go back first?"

"Go back?" Zhou Yang froze for a moment, and suddenly stood up, "Yes, Xiaoli, I have something to discuss with you."

"Ok?"

"I... want to be Mr. Shen's assistant!" Zhou Yang rubbed his hands uncomfortably, with a trace of anticipation on his face.
