My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 1133: Interview

Xi Muhan looked around, looking like a curious baby. ★Www.slzww New Ideas Chinese Network★

Shen Xin admitted that he has visited the magazine very few times, but he has also been to "NewWorld" and "ibsp;Future".

In fact, the editorial departments are similar, nothing more than scale.

Xi Muhan has been to the editorial department less than Shen Xin, and Shen Xin is not even sure whether he has been to the editorial department of "ibsp;Future".

Therefore, when she came to the editorial department of "Young Leap", she was curious about everything.

Four people followed Otani Chinyo into the editorial department, and the editor in the room raised their heads unanimously and looked at the four people.

Shen Xin waved his hand and greeted the editors, who also nodded slightly.

Senator Tachibana stood up, and when he walked to the table of Hei Miyamoto, he tapped on the table, "Contact Uematsu again, please be faster."

Miyamoto nodded and picked up the landline.

Senator Tachibana hurried to the entrance of the editorial department, shook hands with Shen Xin, and said, "Mr. Shen, this is not a place to talk. Go to the next door first, right?"

With that said, he led the way forward and brought four people to the next room.

This room has a simple sofa and coffee table, and a bookcase filled with comics is placed against the wall.

There is no dust in the whole room, and it can be seen that people often come to this room.

Gentry Tachibana motioned to Shen Xin to wait a while before going out to pour tea by herself, while Shen Xin stood up, came to the bookshelf, and looked at it roughly.

The comics on the bookshelf are not necessarily hot works. Some comics Shen Xin has not even listened to, but as a magazine, "Shounen Leap" is indeed responsible for collecting the published comics.

Of course, with the scale of "Senior Leap", these comics should be just the tip of the iceberg of "Senior Leap" collection.

With the rise of digital platforms, the collection of comics is not limited to single-line books. It can even be said that online comics also have their own advantages compared with paper books. In the future, it may be more convenient to save drawings with pictures.

Shen Xin scanned the bookshelf from beginning to end, and Tachibana held four cups of tea and placed it on the coffee table. "Wait a minute, Uematsu-sensei has arrived, and Miyamoto is picking him up."

"Yeah." Shen Xin took a sip of tea after sitting down, "Wait a moment, what question is the editor going to ask?"

"I won't ask too many difficult questions. Some of them are on the work itself, and some of them are related to your experience." Tachibana took out the recording pen, "We can't use a pen or computer to record the two teachers' Answer, you can only take notes with audio recordings, and then rearrange them. It may involve some more personal things, such as hobbies. Readers in District 11 are just watching the teacher’s work, but have not been in contact with the teacher. Therefore, this interview can be regarded as a way for readers to understand the teacher better."

Shen Xin nodded, and Tachibana was right. It is also necessary to pull in the relationship between the author and the reader and let the reader know the author better.

While talking, the door was tapped, Shen Xin raised his head and saw two people standing at the door.

When he came to the editorial department just now, Shen Xin had seen Hei Miyamoto, so his attention was focused on the person behind the palace itself.

The man is of medium build, about the same as Shen Xin, but he is not fat, maybe it is cold, or it may be a personal habit. He wears a dark gray beanie with deep sunken eye sockets and eyes. Full of bloodshot eyes, the whole person is a bit tired.

It may have been a little hastily, and the man's chin and cheeks also have scum.

Shen Xin remembered that Otani Chinaya had said that Uematsuno had spent the whole night in order to get out of time.

Seeing Uematsuno now proves that what Otani said is true.

Uematsuno first greeted Tachibana Sen, then enthusiastically shook hands with Shen Xin, took off his neck, and said to Miyamoto Hei: "Miyamoto-sensei, can you give me a cup of black coffee? I'm afraid I'll be sleepy. Up."

"Okay. I'm going now..."

"Bring the camera, too." Tachibana Shen turned his head and added.

Miyamoto nodded and left the room.

"Sorry... I was so in a hurry today that I wasted your time." Uematsuno put his hands on his knees and owed deeply, apologizing to the others.

"We are nothing, but if you take a photo with Teacher Shen later, you may look a little tired..." Tachibana Shen said tactfully.

Uematsuno waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Haha, this is not a big deal. I was originally older than Teacher Shen, so it should be a good old man. If I am younger than Teacher Shen, wouldn't I be a monster?"

After hearing Wang Wenhong's translation, Shen Xin's affection for Uematsuno increased a lot.

People actually care about the opinions of others.

Shen Xin may forget some bad messages or remarks, but anyone like Uematsuno who can relax his heart will not hate anyone.

Miyamoto brought a cup of coffee, put the camera on the coffee table, and then exited the room.

"Two, let's start the interview?" Shen Tachibana turned on the recorder and began to interview Shen Xin and Uematsuno.

Xi Muhan came here this time mainly to visit "Young Leap", but Tachibana's interview also mentioned some things that she didn't know, for example, when he was drawing "The Soul of the Game", he had a deep relationship with professional chess players. Although he didn’t know how to play Go until now, he did a lot of hard work in order to draw Go well. The game between A Guang and Gao Yongxia was initially set to end with Gao Yongxia’s victory. At that time, he After going to the scene to watch the match between Zhen Xi and Park Yongtai, the ending was temporarily changed and Xiao Guang won the victory.

If it weren't for this interview, it would be difficult for anyone to know these things except Wang Wenhong, who was the editor in charge of Shen Xin at the time.

During the interview, I also asked about some things related to Uematsuno, such as Shen Xin's evaluation of ";DUNK", and then asked a question that readers of "Eternal Life Gate" are very concerned about-"Eternal Life Zhi How is the progress of "Gate".

"Uh... this question is difficult to answer... After all, when creating, new ideas often come up. From the current point of view, the progress of the story should be nearly 80%."

"Uh...Isn't it 70 years ago?" Senator Tachibana knew this answer for the first time, but he felt relieved when he heard Uematsuno say this.

If Uematsuno's words are true, then "The Gate of Eternal Life" should be serialized for another 5 years, which is good news for "Shoun Leap".

"Yes, but when the character moves on its own, the length tends to get out of control, and I am also very entangled." Uematsuno spread out his hand and looked helpless.

When Shen Xin heard Uematsuno's words, he smiled without saying a word, but he agreed with Uematsuno's words in his heart.

Unless the outline has been established and the comics are created in strict accordance with the outline, it is easy to increase the space.

"One Piece" was originally only intended to be serialized for 5 years. Unexpectedly, 20 years have passed, and it is still serialized. I don't know if it can break through 30 years. It is said that the editor-in-chief of "jump" is already discussing the 30th anniversary of "The Pirate".

At the end of the interview, Tachibana Shen mentioned a problem that even Shen Xin hadn't expected.

"During the "Steel Refining" serialization, an incident happened, I think it is a major event, because you almost had an accident at the time, can you talk about it?"

"Uh...Actually, I don't really want to talk about that. After all, another cartoonist is involved. If I don't get the other party's permission, I talk about it without authorization, so he will get involved in public opinion. Change the question?" Shen Xin shook his head.

After that incident, Zuo Yuan cheered up and created a series of good manga. People who have experienced that kind of experience will indeed feel unforgettable, but they don't want to remember.

Originally, everyone had forgotten that incident, and Shen Xin didn't want to let Zuo Yuan return to everyone's field of vision.

"Sorry." Tachibana apologized quickly. He intended to borrow this incident to let readers know Shen Xin better, but he forgot that it also involves another person.

Since this matter doesn't work, I can only change the question.

"So... it would be very difficult for a newcomer to become a manga artist? How do you think the newcomer can survive this difficult period?" Tachibana raised a new question, but this question is also very close to the previous one. Link.

Why did Zuo Yuan choose to jump off the building? On the surface, it is forced by the D version, and the deeper reason is that the cartoonist is not a stable job. This is especially true for cartoonists who have just entered the comics circle.

"If you ask me like this, it is difficult for me to answer, after all, I have never had such an experience." Shen Xin was embarrassed.

Since there is no experience, there is no experience.

"..." Gentle Tachibana sighed, thinking that this question he asked was really stupid.

"So, my suggestions and opinions are very unrepresentative. But comics are a commercial creation. If the cartoonist has the idea of'I want to draw a comic that satisfies myself', it is not No, but the readers who pay for the comics are the readers. If they can’t make the readers happy, the comics artists will often pay the price. Feelings may be important to the comics, but for the readers, the value is limited. Readers spend money not for the sake of Look at the feelings of a cartoonist.

"So ~lightnovelpub.net~ newcomers should put down their figure. Being an assistant to a cartoonist is not a bad experience. As a newcomer, don’t listen to suggestions because I know that some newcomers invite others to comment, but the other If you really point out the shortcomings, they often become angry. They don't really want to know the shortcomings of the work, but want the satisfaction after being praised."

Shen Xin didn't have much contact with cartoonists, but he was an online author before crossing, and he knew exactly what the newcomers felt.

Obviously I was wrong, but when others mentioned it, it was difficult to accept it in my heart.

"Any industry will not be very friendly to newcomers. Due to the unstable nature of cartoonists' grades, this profession has the characteristics of'gambling'. Many people cannot use their works to support the rest of their lives. Time is in a difficult situation. It is really difficult for a newcomer to become famous in one step. In addition to his own efforts, the platform also needs to provide a certain environment."

Shen Xin finally gave a reply.

After hearing Wang Wenhong's translation, Uematsuno touched the scum and fell into thinking.
