My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 142 Effect of the game
As Shen Xin's assistants, Lu Ning and Gao Hang are very familiar with Shen Xin's style.
At the first glance of the manga, the two looked tight.
The imitation of "Y's" by Seven Grapefruits and Reverb has already reached a very high level. At first glance, the two of them even thought it was Shen Xin's manuscript.
But after careful reading, it is not difficult to notice the difference between the two.For example, comic lines.
In fact, the lines of the comics are quite particular.
For example, when a person's cheek or a part of the body protrudes outward, the line tends to be thicker, and when the line is retracted, the line is thinner.
To achieve this effect, or to show different thickness on another curve, it is best to use the G pen, because the tip of the G pen is very elastic. You can control the expression of the line by controlling the strength.
In front of this fan, the strength of the character changes very little, because the main pen is not a G pen.
Of course, no one is sure that drawing a comic must use a G pen, and even some cartoonists will choose a neutral pen or a signature pen to draw the manuscript, which will often have a good effect.
But compared with the G pen, other pens can't show the character's emotion through the change of the line, especially when compared with the original painting of "Y's", this sense of difference is more obvious.
After a short period of surprise, Lu Ning and Gao Hang were also awake and continued to look down and read the two articles in one go.
"How do you feel?" Yan Fei smiled.
"The two comics in this issue are not difficult to distinguish. The difference between the storyboard and the painter is more." Lu Ning speculated.
"Do you support the first article? But I think the second article also has a good cut-in angle." Gao Hang made the opposite opinion.
"I know that its cut-in angle is really bright, but its split mirror is a bit messy, I think it looks a little dizzy." Lu Ning shook his head, "Sister Yan, what do you think?"
"Mr. Shen is sitting here, do you still ask me?" Yan Fei shook her head slightly, "Let Ms. Shen judge, see if you have a chance?"
Gao Hang nodded quickly and came to Shen Xin's side, "Mr. Shen......"
Shen Xin also heard the discussion of the three people, knowing that Gao Hang ran over, he raised his head and looked at Gao Hang in front of him, "Are you confident?"
"Of course I have confidence in the background, but it is not easy to say in other aspects..." At the end, Gao Hang's voice became smaller and he glanced at Lu Ning with the afterglow in the corner of his eyes, but he quickly shut up when he saw Lu Ning also came behind him. Speak up.
Shen Xin watched the fat man stop talking and secretly laughed. While the boy raised himself, he did not forget to ridicule Lu Ning.
But Gao Hang is right, he has been drawing the background of "Y's", so he should be able to guarantee a stable level, but Lu Ning is different. Previously, she said that her painting style is narrow, after so long Study, I don't know if there is any improvement.
As for the two comics in front of them, they are pretty good.
In particular, the first fan drawing by the two big hands with the signatures "Reverb" and "Seven Grapefruits" is of high quality. Not only are the characters very similar to the original, but also the background and effect lines are very delicate.The quality alone is not inferior to other comics in "New World".
The point of entry of the story is also better. I chose Yi Gui to confess at the dock, but Izhi thought he was telling a ghost story and rejected Yi Gui's clip.
On the way back, Yi Gui met another girl with a foot, and then went back to the hotel with the girl on her back. She was hit by Iori again, and the two had a new misunderstanding.
And the girl with feet was actually coming out after "Y's"-misunderstood that Yi Gui, who was rejected by Iori, surrendered himself and went swimming with the girl in the sea, accidentally taking off the other party's swimsuit.
The two big hands chose this girl, and they matched each other with the subsequent chapters, which was very consistent with the theme of "Y's".
As for the second fan, the cut-in degree is slightly strange.The author chose the beginning of "Y's", which is the story of Yizhi being notified to take promotional photos, while the organizer installed a camera in the fitting room.The author uses the camera as the first perspective to describe the whole process. Therefore, the picture will appear more "tempting".
The shortcomings of this work are obvious. It uses a lot of vertical mirrors to cut the overall sense of the picture, so the manga looks messy.
"The entry point of the second part is very good, and the brain of the creator is also flexible, but the mirroring is a bit messy? The style of the first work is more similar to "Y's". I can see that these two people really want to draw this fan... …Oh, the outcome is determined by the reader's vote?” Shen Xin asked.
"Yes. In the next questionnaire of the readers, there will be an option related to the fan. The result of the competition will be judged according to the questionnaire," Yan Fei said.
Shen Xin nodded slightly, "That win is not easy to say."
Gao Hang froze for a moment and couldn't understand: "Teacher, can't you even judge?"
"The magazine has handed the results to the market, and I can't judge the results. Some works will be inexplicably red, but more works rely on the quality of the comics. You can judge the market's wind direction from the first round, thus Make minor adjustments." Shen Xin closed the magazine and looked back at Yan Fei. "Is the president estimated to be very happy?"
The questionnaire survey is the only means of voting. People who want to vote must buy "New World", which makes big fans have to spend part of their money on magazines.
"Yes, this is a good thing for you and the magazine." Yan Fei smiled.
Since they bought the magazine, they will also read the latest "Y's", which may develop their habit of following "Y's".
Shen Xin felt that Wang Wenhong's original proposal became more valuable.
But he also understands that unless there are special circumstances, there is almost no possibility of cooperation between him and Wang Wenhong-he must at least find an editor's job.
Lu Ning took over the magazine and read the two fellows again, frowning gradually, and he should work harder.
After this edition of "New World" was officially released, it immediately set off a discussion among readers, and the magazine's sales soared again, breaking through to 950,000 copies.
The sales of "Y's" have slightly increased, and the popularity has been fired. A dozen long reviews related to "Y's" have appeared on the Manjia online, which is more than other cartoonists on the newcomer list, which surprised them.
However, Shen Xin knows that half of these long reviews are related to the "Y's" fandom, but because the plot of these fandoms extends to "Y's", many people only read the book reviews, which is difficult to distinguish, but deepens some readers. Understanding of "Y's".
This is what Song Tai wanted to achieve.
