My Cartoonist Strategy

The comics market in District 11 is not as big as that of Huaxia, but the industry chain is complete, and the quality and quantity of comic-related surroundings are also higher than that of Huaxia. These can be seen from games, animations and hand-made productions.

More importantly, major magazines will not let their signature cartoonists leave.

Of course, "ComicFuture" has always regarded itself as the first issue of Huaxia, so it did not focus on foreign comics-it is of course good to have high-quality foreign comics, and it does not matter if it is not.

With this attitude, there is certainly no way to solicit foreign authors from China.

Shen Xin found a bedroom for Wang Wenhong on the first floor and let him put his luggage first.

"You will live here in the next few months... By the way, will you stay here to help me during the day?"

"No, I am only responsible for the evening." Wang Wenhong explained.

"I don't think you are here to help me."

"Ok?"

"You seem to be here." Shen Xin teased.

Wang Wenhong opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute it-he went to the magazine in the daytime and only came at night. Isn't that just rubbing it?

"Actually, I also know that if you work alone, the efficiency may be higher, but the editor-in-chief is also forced to do nothing. The sales of the magazine have been declining. When the "Killer Diary" is over, it is estimated that it will decline significantly." Wang Wenhong followed Shen Xin out of the bedroom, and at the same time, told the situation of the magazine.

"Shall I hurry as soon as possible?" Shen Xin scratched his head and sat at the workbench, picked up the pressure-sensitive pen, the pen tip touched the pen display, and remembered another thing, "Brother Wang, I have one thing, can you help me?" Did you tell Mr. Shang?"

"Look, my role is not reflected now." Wang Wenhong smiled.

"I call you, the effect is not the same?" Shen Xin said angrily.

"..." Wang Wenhong's smile cooled down in an instant, as if it were really the case.

"Cough...that, Teacher Shen, what are you doing?"

Wang Wenhong coughed and looked serious, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Shen Xin did not bother with this matter, "I was drawing this type of comic for the first time, so I can’t control it in many places. Sometimes, the length of each word may be slightly longer. I once I’m giving you more than 30 pages of manuscripts. I’m afraid you’re not good at business. So, can you tell the editor in chief first and ask me his opinion.”

This is Shen Xin's decision after repeated thinking.

"Steel" is published in "Monthly Youth GANGAN", so the length of each word is not consistent.There are more than 30 pages in a few words, and 60 to 70 pages in more words.

At first, he planned to imitate "Steelmaking", with an average of forty to fifty pages per sentence.To this end, he bought a computer and a tablet.

In the past two days, he still gave up this practice.Not because it is impossible, but this approach is not friendly to other cartoonists.

Now the entire comic industry is in a balance, and the single words are basically about 20 pages.It has been very difficult for ordinary cartoonists to update more than 20 pages a week, and some cartoonists have to stay up all night to serialize comics because they do not have assistants.

Shen Xin serialized 40 pages in a week. If "Steel" is selling well, there must be some people who are competing to follow suit, and to some extent, increase the labor of other cartoonists. Those cartoonists who are already strenuous in their creation may even be criticized. Eliminate.

Drawing comics is not writing novels.

Internet authors can update 10,000 words a day if their code words are fast.But the creation of comics is from drawing, to drawing lines, blacking out, sticking dots...it may require many people to cooperate together.

Once the number of pages per week provided by the cartoonist to the magazine is increased, it may cause a chain reaction, and no one can predict what will happen in the end.

What's more, his physical condition cannot always be at the peak."Steel" draws 40 pages a week, what about the next comic?Also 40 pages?

After more than ten years, he is likely to jump into the pit he dug-after all, he is older and his physical strength will be limited.

Not everyone can be like Fu Jian Yi Bo,

After thinking about it, Shen Xin still decided to disassemble the single words of more than 40 pages of the original book to draw.

The cartoonist has already worked very hard already, and he does not need to use the updated volume to embarrass other cartoonists.

However, he can split a 40-page manga into two words, but if there are more than 30 pages, it would be too few if they were to be opened again.

Wang Wenhong thought a little and agreed, "Well, I will tell the editor in chief."

Shen Xin said that it only needs to pay attention when arranging short comics, the operation is not too difficult.

What's more, "ComicFuture" is now short of good manuscripts. If Shen Xin updates more than thirty pages in a week, Shang Haozhi should be very happy.

For several days in a row, Shen Xin was busy setting and outline, and Wang Wenhong was collating information to help Shen Xin check the content he needed.

At the same time, the digital tablet ordered from the 11th district was finally sent to Shen Xin's studio.

After several hours of debugging, Shen Xin felt that the operation was not too big, so he called Gao Hang and asked him to come the next day.

The next day, Gao Hang came to the studio early and was speechless after seeing the computer and tablet on the workbench.

"Teacher, this is..."

Gao Hang held a pressure-sensitive pen, making him wonder how to express his inner excitement.

This heavy feeling in his hand is completely different from the dip pen.

"Electronic office, increase efficiency. If you don't like..."

"dislike!"

joke!

Gao Hang is not a fool. Even if this set is down, even if it is less than one hundred thousand, it is similar. Which studio can spend this money?Moreover, after familiarization, the work efficiency is indeed much faster than the traditional painting mode.

"There are books on the bookshelf. Wait a moment, I will give you scraps. Hurry up and practice these months, and don’t get too busy."

"Huh." Gao Hang focused on it.

For him, this is also a new attempt and learning, we must seize the time to master.

"Ma Ning and Li Jie... are you in touch with them?"

Because of the use of the tablet, the number of assistants does not have to be as much as before.

Three assistants are best, and two are not bad.

"Ma Ning seems to have gone to "Man Weekly" and is said to have been serialized. As for Li Jie, the latest short article has also passed the review of "ComicFuture" and will be published soon." Gao Hang said seriously.

Shen Xin was a little frustrated. It was really strenuous to work without a suitable assistant.

"It seems that I have to ask Wang for help again."

"That... teacher, would you like to try a graduate of a comic school?" Gao Hang reminded, "They should want someone to become a professional assistant."

Comic school?

Shen Xin rubbed his chin and wondered whether Gao Hang's proposal was feasible.
