My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 1052: look forward to
Shen Xin and Xi Muhan booked high-speed rail tickets in the middle of the night, and talked with Fang Man on the phone to explain the reason.
Although Fang Man was also surprised, he still respected Shen Xin's opinions.
After getting off the high-speed rail, it was 4 o'clock in the morning, and the two people called for another rental car and came to the city hospital.
On the way here, Shen Xin had been in contact with Wang Wenhong, and Wang Wenhong was silent for ten seconds after learning that Shen Xin rushed back overnight, and finally said "thank you".
When the two people found Wang Wenhong according to the nurse's instructions, Wang Wenhong was fidgeting.
"How is it?" Shen Xin asked.
"Eight hours." Wang Wenhong's expression was tense. He sat on the bench outside the delivery room, his legs shaking constantly, unconcealedly showing anxiety and tension.
Xi Muhan was holding Shen Xin with sweat in his palms.
Shen Xin shook Xi Muhan's hand lightly, and there was also a trace of anxiety in his heart.
For him, Yan Fei is not just as simple as an editor and staff, but has helped him a lot in creation and life. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the eldest sister.
Now that Yan Fei has been in the delivery room for 8 hours, Shen Xin is also a little worried.
But Wang Wenhong's nerves are already tense now, and he can no longer convey his tension to Wang Wenhong.
"It's okay, Brother Wang, should you take a break first?"
Wang Wenhong shook his head, "Very sleepy, but can't sleep. Teacher Shen, mainly because of her age... Yan Fei will be 37 soon..."
"I believe the doctor... will be fine."
Shen Xin knew that these words were the same as he hadn't said, but he didn't know how to comfort Wang Wenhong.
Wang Wenhong nodded, but stared at the delivery room, "Or, Teacher Shen, can you go back first? You have to rest, and you have to hand in your manuscript soon."
"If it doesn't work, I will stop the publication for a week. There is no result here, and I can't feel at ease." Shen Xin shook his head and sat on the bench with Xi Muhan.
During the day in Yanjing to participate in activities, he ran back to Hongchuan at night. After the end of the day, Shen Xin felt more exhausted than he had imagined.
Although he was restless, Shen Xin's consciousness gradually became blurred, and he was in a state of sleep.
Suddenly, Shen Xin heard a "congratulations" vaguely, a clever body in his body, and quickly opened his eyes, only to see the doctor coming out of the room and talking to Wang Wenhong.
"Daughter."
Wang Wenhong felt relieved, then pointed inside and asked, "Can I go in?"
The doctor nodded.
Wang Wenhong was overjoyed and was about to go in, but was stopped by Shen Xin.
"Brother Wang, let's go back first. I'll go back and ask my aunt to cook a pot of chicken soup for Sister Yan, so that others can bring it... Also, don't make Sister Yan angry."
"When did I make her angry? Go back!" Wang Wenhong waved his hand and couldn't wait to enter the delivery room.
Knowing that the mother and daughter are safe, Shen Xin's spirit is also good, and there is another little life in the studio, which is also a happy event.
For the next two or three days, Wang Wenhong basically stayed with Yan Fei in the hospital, while Wu Xiaoli served as Shen Xin's editor during this time, helping to read the manuscript and contact the people of "Young Leap".
Wu Xiaoli is a little pleased with this arrangement. In addition to being able to inquire about Yan Fei's news, she can also read the manuscript of "" for the first time. This is very important. Moreover, she is the editor in charge of Xi Muhan and Lu Ning. , There is no need to run on both ends, which is also very convenient, and even stay in Shen Xin’s studio for dinner.
"In the first episode, there will be a color page. By then, many readers will pay attention to this comic. Therefore, you will be under a lot of pressure. However, according to the information I have received, the senior management is not so relieved of this work. In the early stage, I must be in a wait-and-see state, at least not like Teacher Luo Zheng and Teacher Ye Hexu...Perhaps, even Jin Yingchen and Shi Qun are inferior." Wu Xiaoli mentioned this matter while eating.
Xi Muhan sighed, the chopsticks were picked in the bowl a few times, and she didn't mean to eat it. She had already learned the thoughts of the higher-ups from Shang Haozhi's mouth.
"But... don't they read the quality of the comics?" Lu Ning was a little dissatisfied.
"The quality of the comics? Of course they will read them. They also know that the quality of "Crossing Girl" is very high, but they think "ComicFuture" is facing boys. It is not easy to say what level your creation can reach. Maybe. Will I give you more color pages or covers?" Wu Xiaoli mentioned this matter, and she was itching for her teeth, but she couldn't change the reality.
She is just an editor, not the editor-in-chief.
"Then try it. Anyway, I think this book can be popular." Shen Xin is firm in his opinion, "Whether to judge the direction of the work based on male characters, this kind of thinking is a bit out of date."
"What does it rely on?" Gao Hang asked subconsciously.
Lu Ning, Xi Muhan, and Wu Xiaoli all turned their attention to Shen Xin. They also wanted to hear how Shen Xin, as the country's top cartoonist, thinks about this.
Shen Xin sighed, “Use the ‘elements’ shown in the work or the ‘key points~lightnovelpub.net~ to judge the readers of the work.”
The same is true for online novels. 99% of the novels in the male frequency feature the male protagonist as the first protagonist, but there are exceptions.
There are also some novels whose protagonists are not even humans, such as trees, insects, pythons, skeletons, giant dragons, or even the system itself, as long as there is content in the book that readers like to read.
This is especially true for the female channel. Some novels have more roles in the male second than the female one, and even need to modify the content extensively for publication and TV shooting.
Seeing the doubts on other people's faces, Shen Xin had to explain further, "Don't forget the BL comics, I remember Lu Ning, you also drew it?"
"I didn't!" Lu Ning's face flushed instantly.
"Whether it is not important, the key is that there are elements of juvenile comics in "Crossing Girl", reasoning. But I want to remind that the emotional drama of the heroine is for the plot, do not transfer the plot of the comic to the emotional drama, otherwise , This comic collapsed. Because what readers want to see is the truth of the whole story, not who the heroine is in love with. If you pull out the love triangle again, it is estimated that many people will abandon the book. Think about "DN". There are few emotional dramas."
If the comics do not collapse, and the results are guaranteed, I am afraid of drawing halfway, and suddenly turn to the heroine's emotional line.
"Big Sword" and "Neverland" have almost no emotional lines, but "Inuyasha" does, but the emotional lines of Inuyasha, Kagome and Kikyo also serve the plot, and the theme of the entire comic is still hot-blooded comics.
Xi Muhan and Wu Xiaoli nodded and wrote down what Shen Xin said.
"Also, since the high-level officials look down on this cartoon, you should draw it well. The slap-slap routines don't just appear in the cartoon." Shen Xin put a bit of rice into his mouth, some looking forward to the performance of "Crossing Girl".
