My Cartoonist Strategy

Seeing Yan Fei's dissatisfaction, Wang Wenhong went on to say: "I admit that there are a lot of basketball comics, but I have to say that there is indeed a classic that everyone else recognizes. "Slam Dunk" is good, but Tamagawa The teacher’s cartoon, even in the 11th district, has a large portion of readers who do not recognize its status, let alone Huaxia. Before a masterpiece of basketball really appears, there is definitely room for improvement in this field."

Yan Fei rubbed his forehead, "I understand everything you say, but it's difficult... Such a popular theme is already difficult to bring readers a sense of freshness, I'm afraid... reader's"

"I also know that it is difficult. So, I said that there is no way to draw this type of comics now. I have to wait for a while." Shen Xin scratched his head.

Sports-type animation, especially basketball, is more difficult to create than other comics.In addition to the solid basic skills, this type of comics also needs excellent scores and close-ups of the athletes' movements.

Shen Xin previously painted Kotama's "The Soul of Chess", and the comic is actually a test of splitting. Many times, without words, you can draw the details of the character only by splitting.The representative of this is the battle between Zuowei and Taya Xingyang-the two chess players did not meet, but the tension in the picture was transmitted to the reader through the mirror.

Basketball comics also have high requirements for the scoreboard, but they are different from Go.Go uses a static split mirror to shape the atmosphere of the picture, while basketball uses a dynamic split mirror, especially the confrontation between characters, to create a feeling of fierce competition, so that readers feel the fierce competition.

Since there is fierce confrontation, it is inevitable that another thing will be involved-how to draw the characters in the game more realistically.

Any movement of a person will involve a lot of muscles, especially during the confrontation process, the muscles are inevitably deformed. If you want to express the intense feeling of the picture through the muscle collision, you must be particularly clear about the structure of the human body. Only by copying sports photos can you draw that feeling.

"Actually, there is also a reason why Brother Xin is going to draw a basketball comic." Xi Muhan, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

"What's the reason?" Yan Fei turned around and asked.

Is there anything hidden?

"Do you know there is a person named'Yang'?" Xi Muhan asked, and hesitant to see Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong, knowing that these two people had forgotten this person, they explained again, "In Xin Ge's painting "DN" At that time, he wrote many articles supporting Brother Xin."

"Listening to what you said, I suddenly got an impression. At that time, the netizen named'Yang' wrote many posts analyzing "DN", and he was a loyal reader of "DN." Wang Wenhong raised his head.

Yan Fei also remembered this man.

"But...what does the teacher decide to draw basketball?"

"Because, we met him while traveling in Europe." Xi Muhan took out the pad, found a photo, and handed the pad to Yan Fei.

Wang Wenhong also stood up and leaned to Yan Fei.

The photo was taken on a basketball court. A young man, looking eighteen or nineteen years old, was sitting under the basket and posing as a scissors hand to the camera. The smile on his face was also very bright.

Unlike ordinary people, he is sitting in a wheelchair.

"He used to be a talented athlete. When he went to the training site, he suffered a car accident. He is now being treated in Europe. I don't know if he can stand up. When I was in Europe, I just posted on Weibo. A travel photo, he made a special trip to contact us. At first, we thought it was just an ordinary reader, but I didn't expect that he would have that kind of experience.

Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei suddenly realized.

"However, Mr. Shen, if he is the protagonist... Readers don't like the protagonist's injury, especially the car accident. If the story is good, the reader won't buy it." Yan Fei worried.

"No... I only had the idea of ​​drawing a basketball comic after meeting him.

Xi Muhan nodded seriously, she had always been very confident in Shen Xin.Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei were all stunned, then their eyes were bright, and they also looked forward to the future.

"That's right, teacher. It hasn't been serialized in such a long time, some people have forgotten you." Wang Wenhong laughed.

"Forget it, forget it." Shen Xin didn't care much about it. "Just draw a good work. Okay, let's start working now?"

Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei nodded each other and continued their work.

Shen Xin reads magazines to see comics serialized in these magazines.

Because he does not understand Japanese, he can only judge the trend of the magazine from the storyboard and the painter.

After reading several magazines in a row, as Yukawa said, there is no sign of the prevalence of Caiman in District 11.

What about comics online?

Shen Xin also opened a forum for comic books, but correspondingly, black and white diffuse still dominates.

"By the way, Huaxia's comics...how is the acceptance of Caiman now?" Shen Xin remembered something.

"Teacher, shouldn't you forget "Leap"? That comic is a full-color magazine, and there are already a lot of fans. And after the prevalence of online comics, cartoonists named as Duan gradually began to get involved in online comics, and Already have good results."

Shen Xin nodded.

"Leap" has fallen below one million sales, but the magazine's pricing is higher than "ComicFuture" and "MangaFly", so the days are not sad.Moreover, the extension of "Leap" is not an animation, but a martial arts or fantasy movie and TV series, and the copyright fee is not low.

But it is precisely because of the existence of "Leap" that some readers have accepted Caiman, and even worse, some readers only watch Caiman.

Some authors are also targeting this market. Although their scores are not good enough and the fluency of the story is only moderate, they use color to attract some readers.

This should be the most favorite news of Doman.com.

"Domestic readers, there is not much problem with the acceptance of Caiman. Caiman can be said that there are some fans."

Shen Xin scratched his head, "Then there is no way. This is the market... Anyone who wants to gain a foothold in the market must respect the reader's choice."

In fact, as long as costs are reduced, color magazines are not impossible.

Whether it is "ComicFuture" or "MangaFly", it is 16 pages per page, as long as it is changed to a single page four in one, the cost should be able to come down.

However, Shen Xin doesn't like this model very much. This typesetting will make many comic artists carefully set up the storyboard, which is no longer so amazing.

The influence of general mirrors is still within the controllable range, and the shock to readers caused by full pages and spread pages will be greatly reduced.

"By the way, readers in the 11th district also prefer Caiman more on the Internet, but they also proposed that Caiman will affect the normal update of the comics and will also make the cartoonists more tired. Comprehensively, they think that black and white Man is the most suitable."

"It is normal for them to have such an answer." Shen Xin was not surprised.

If readers don't like Caiman, the curling page will not be so important.

But companies need costs. If the color pages become mainstream, it will inevitably affect the composition of the cartoonist studio. Therefore, stability should be the most needed in the 11th comic industry.

Unconsciously, the time had passed five o'clock, and after more than two hours, Murakami passed through.

"Right, Sister Yan, give Murakami a call and say we are seated in the hotel. Although this is District 11, are we still the host?"

Yan Fei nodded and took the phone to the window. Shen Xin's eyes fell on the magazine again.
