My Cartoonist Strategy

However, it has to be said that Shuangkai is indeed a way to ensure that creators can get the most benefit, so as to at least ensure the income of serialized comics. As for the difficulty, it is much greater than 1+1.

In the manga "Dream Eater", the real Supreme and Takagi Akihito adopted this method when he faced the suggestion of editor Kurouragoro to create funny comics.However, even if it was created by two people, the other comic has not been serialized successfully.

The difficulty of serializing two comics at the same time is really challenging the limits of cartoonists.

Of course, there are indeed people who have done this on Earth.

Takahashi Rumiko serialized "Fu Xing Boy" and "Let's Get Together" in "Weekly Boy Sunday" and "" respectively, and became a great success.From this point of view, Mr. Takahashi's talent in manga is rarely matched.

There are other authors in the 11th area, but in more cases, there is one original book in the two books, not the creator himself, just like Aunt Niu serialized "The Battle of Arslan" when he serialized the "Key of Silver". "", and the original work of this comic is the famous novelist, Fang Shu Tanaka.

What Shen Xin meant was not to let Luo Zheng double-open, but to cast a short story to the magazine in the name of a new author. If the effect was better than "Idol Era", then Luo Zheng discussed with the magazine again and used the new work Serialized, replacing "Idol Times".However, it will be very difficult to create in this way. Especially, for the magazine to abandon "Idol Age", the new work must have a new idea that makes people shine.

Shen Xin doesn't know much about comics related to idols.I have seen animations such as "The Idol Master" and "lovelive!"", but they are not too powerful in comics.The band's comics have a ceiling. Yazawa love's "NANA" once won the first single-volume single-book in 2005, and the second place is "The Pirate".

Although "Pirates" was serialized to "The Capital of Seven Waters" at that time, Robin betrayed and Usopp disembarked, the atmosphere of the comics was extremely depressed. At the same time, in 2005, 11 districts did not have specific sales statistics. It's just the circulation and the specific sales volume. I don't know, but "NANA" is also a month. In terms of gathering popularity, it is not as good as "Pirate". The single-volume circulation can exceed "Pirate", which is very rare.

The ceiling of this kind of comics is here. If you want to rely on themes such as idol or music, it is really too difficult to fight against the bloody comics for a long time.

"As for how to change... In fact, you should also feel that you have been painting a theme, and that various routines have been changed to use flowers, which really makes readers feel bored and feels that the work is "tasteless to eat, it is a pity to discard it." I’m not very involved in the subject matter, and I’m not too interested in it. If I want to say something to improve, in my experience, I should be able to start from two places."

Shen Xin is also not sure, because there are really not many works that can be popular in such subjects.

"Which two aspects?" Luo Zheng asked quickly.

"First, the angle of the story. The protagonist does not need to use singers or idols to advance the story. Second, the brain hole. You can add something new to the comics. For example, the identity of the idol, or the background of the story... I will definitely find something that will illuminate the reader."

The first one can be developed cartoons, the second one is probably "Backstreet Girl", otherwise, it is the plot that appears in online novels. After the end of the world, many industries need to rise, and so do idols or entertainers. , You can use this as a background to create cartoons, which are roughly equivalent to old wine in new bottles.

Shen Xin did not say exactly how to do it. He also believed that Luo Zheng didn't want him to be too detailed.

Luo Zheng rubbed his chin and fell into contemplation.

The first point that Shen Xin said, he also thought about it, but after discussing with Xu Jie, the possibility of exceeding "Rock King" is too low.As for the second point... it is indeed a direction of thinking.

No, even, many works can be developed...

"Mr. Shen..." Luo Zheng opened his mouth slightly, staring at Shen Xin.

"Ok?"

"Thank you." Luo Zheng bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, before, I may have a problem with your attitude, sorry..."

"what?"

Luo Zheng's words left Shen Xin confused. He seemed to have no holidays with Luo Zheng, but after thinking for a moment, he also understood the reason.

"It is mediocrity not to be jealous." This sentence should be appropriate here, right?

At this annual meeting, Shen Xin had some gains, especially the cooperation with the "Comicist Association", not that any cartoonist has such an opportunity.

After returning to the studio, Shen Xin told Wang Wenhong about the incident.

Wang Wenhong was also stunned for a while. After the reaction, he was overjoyed.

"This is really a good thing. Imagine that anyone who is studying at a comics training institution should seriously study "Steel", and to be bigger, it may even affect a group of newcomers in the comics industry." Wang Wenhong, after rejoicing, He quickly calmed down, "But this matter is also in trouble. If the quality of the teaching material is not good, it may drag down the reputation of "Steel"."

"Well, so, what conditions should we mention, you have to be clear." Shen Xin reminded.

Wang Wenhong made an "ok" gesture.

How much benefits peripheral products can bring is not always the focus of Shen Xin's consideration, but the content must be quality and quantity.

"Maybe... you may have to contact or even cooperate with the training institutions in the 11th district. During this time, you will have to pay more attention. As for the editor of "", Sister Yan is temporarily responsible."

At the beginning, he insisted that Yan Fei should come over for a similar thing.

The annual meeting trip also had a great impact on Xi Muhan.After returning, she had a long talk with Wu Xiaoli and Lu Ning, and her second work was also put on the agenda.

Since "The Gate of Destiny Stone" will be serialized in more than half a year, Xi Muhan can also have enough time to discuss the new work with two people during this period.

In addition, in private, Yu Chen also revealed the intention of the full-color version of "". The approximate date is just after the end of the full-color version of "DN", and the official publication time of the first volume should be next year.

These words made the assistants feel happy and joyful.

This annual meeting changed the atmosphere of the studio.

When Asai Hui returned to the studio, he saw the other assistants working like chicken blood, and looked stunned.After she understood the reason, she rubbed her hands and eagerly tried.

"On "Leap", "" is entangled with "The Gate of Eternal Life", "Steam Age" and "The Strongest Pitcher", and we cannot relax."

Asai Hui returned home once and was completely clear about the situation of "" in the 11th district. Now is the time to compare with other comics.

The confidence of other assistants had doubled, and she had to work harder.
