My Cartoonist Strategy

Xi Muhan handed Lu Ning the second cup of black tea, and then sat quietly on the sofa next to Landing Ning, "Sister Lu, what are you doing?"

"I... a little worried." Lu Ning held the tea cup in both hands, staring at the black tea in the cup.

Shen Xin's eyes also fell on Lu Ning. Judging from her look, it was not difficult to judge that she was indeed a little uneasy.

"What's there to worry about?" Shen Xin asked curiously.

"I... teacher, you should haven't understood the domestic comic market for a long time?"

"It's roughly known, but it's not clear how."

"Caiman... more popular than before you left China."

"Oh." Shen Xin nodded, he had already thought about this situation.

The domestic comics market is the same as the 11th district. The paper market has risen and there is a perfect industry cycle. Moreover, with the development of the Chinese animation industry and the game industry over time, the circle of the second element has also become more complete.

However, the cartoonists in the two countries are still a little different. The cartoonists in the picture are accepting technology.

Taking online comics as an example, the comics in District 11 are also hot, but they are mostly black and white, and many diffuses have appeared on the network.

Shortly after the comics appeared, due to the immature printing technology, the cost is relatively high, and the effect is not good, the printed single-book version is more expensive.

With the development of technology, printing color pages is no longer difficult.While serialized online, readers can feel the visual feast of comics without purchasing a single book.

"This is also a situation." Shen Xin crossed his fingers and placed it in front of him. "A large number of cartoonists use the digital screen, which also reduces the difficulty of painting... In the future, Caiman should coexist with black and white. This is the cartoonist... No, this is true in any industry, either adapt or be eliminated."

"However, I am not very good at Caiman, and if I have been painting Caiman, I need more assistants, and the cost will not come down." Lu Ning worried.

"Then paint black and white diffuse. Although colorful, gorgeous, but the cost will indeed be high, except for some well-known authors, or a new company to enter, just like the original Feng Shuo, otherwise, it should not become mainstream."

Since comics are commercial creations, profit must be the primary goal.

If you lose money and do Caiman, such a cartoonist should not exist?

"Listening to your words... I have some confidence." Lu Ning's expression was slightly better.

Seeing Lu Ning's suffering, Shen Xin felt a sigh of emotion.

In fact, Lu Ning is the true portrayal of cartoonists.

Even if he had painted a masterpiece like "Ding Shi" before, Lu Ning might still be on the street when creating a new comic.

Not to mention Lu Ning, even Xiaohatan and Dachang thrush had similar concerns-as long as they don’t work for five years, they will starve to death after five years.

This is what the two people said after they wrote "DN", which was recorded in the first word of "Dream Eater".

Compared with Xiao Hatan, Lu Ning is still far away, and her inner worries are not difficult to understand.

"However, even if this is the case, the future competition will be much larger. Compared with those of the color man, black and white man is destined to be at a disadvantage." Lu Ning rubbed his face.

Her sense of crisis, or insecurity, will not be relieved on a large scale simply because Shen Xin says two more words.

Shen Xin understands this feeling very well, especially when he is an online author, the anxiety after the end of the work is always lingering in his mind.

When it is not over, he will think that if it is over, he must prepare a big sale.

After typing out the words "end of the whole book", the author will feel relaxed, and at the same time, a great sense of emptiness will immediately fill his heart, followed by anxiety.

Can you write a hot work?

As the outline or setting is released, and the manuscript is ready to be saved, the expectation will also change.

It doesn't need to be hot, it just needs to be better than the previous book.

Subsequently, the new book was serialized, collected, clicked, recommended ticket...

The author will consciously compare these data with the previous book,

Why do many authors cut off after they are listed, even on the day they are listed?The reason is that they can see a lot of things from the first set, such as whether this book has the potential to catch fire.

Shen Xin took a deep breath while watching Landing Lemon, and said, "Look at me."

"what?"

Lu Ning raised his head, his expression somewhat confused.

"The picture is like a writing, it's just a way to show the story. As long as you use a brush to make the story clear? Does it matter whether it is Caiman or black-and-white? I admit that Caiman is really easier to attract readers because of its performance. The resulting picture is more realistic and detailed. You can use different colors to move the character's heart and express it more clearly. But the black and white diffuse also has its own way of expression-dot paper appears for this reason.

"Color Man has a variety of colors, but Black and White Man also has a variety of dot paper, which can also play a similar role. Color Man uses color to highlight the key, Black and White Man uses the painter. Moreover, Black Man has two First, black and white diffuse gives readers more imagination, and second, black and white diffuse allows readers to concentrate more energy on the story itself.

"In the final analysis, comics are a way of telling stories. Whether it is colorful or black and white, they are just media, making it easier for readers to understand the story. Readers are not stupid, they want to see good comics, whatever you draw. Whether it's colorful or black and white."

Shen Xin said so much in one breath, and his throat was a little dry. He picked up the black tea placed on the coffee table and drank it.

One is not good at painting, but relies on excellent stories, mirrors, and rhythms to paint "One Punch" and "100% Psionic Power" and other masterpieces.

Jian Shanchuang who painted "Giant" is also not good at painting, but what about it?"Giant" is still selling well. At its peak, its annual sales were only a few hundred thousand copies away from "Pirate".

Is the picture important?

important.

But the comic story is more important!

In "Dream Eater", the editor-in-chief of "jump" Sasaki also said that comics are as long as they are interesting.

"That teacher, can I follow you for a while, I feel that both my painter and the mirror need to be improved."

"No." Shen Xin shook his head without thinking.

"Why?" Lu Ning puzzled.

"You are already a powerful cartoonist, you should learn to complete self-upgrading. Moreover, I can tell you that there are limited things, or it is better to explore by yourself. When creating a new comic, your storyboard and painter will have Elevated."

If Lu Ning is a newcomer, it doesn't matter.Now Lu Ning is already a first-line cartoonist. It would be too cheap to help him.

"However, I can't think of any good stories now..." Lu Ning's eyes glanced at Xi Muhan, "Listening to Ji Ji, Xiao Han is now writing the text for "The Gate of Destiny Stone", and there should be no time to draw anymore. Right?"

Xi Muhan shook her head, she had a headache after reading the physics book and sorting the settings, and he had no time to care for him.
