My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 210: 2 editors
Wang Wenhong is not in a hurry, and Shen Xin is even less in a hurry.
The length of "Gossip" may not be long compared to "Death, Fire, and Sea", but Chapter 189 is also not a short length.
Shen Xin knows very well that the biggest selling point of this manga is not that it was cute at the beginning, or Shinto Hikaru's "Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger"-although in the first few words, this effect is really good, such as defeating Ta Yaliang , It made the readers hooked-in the middle of the manga, to be precise, after Shinto Hikaru became a college student, "Gossip" slowly ushered in its climax, and reached its peak when Sawei disappeared. And the subsequent Beidou Cup usually attracts readers' attention.
In addition to the gradual rise of the plot, another killer feature of Shen Xin worth relying on is animation.
Unlike "ys", "Gossip" can be played during prime time and can be watched by people of all ages. At the same time, "Gossip" has a very high ratings in 11 districts, and it was considered one of the hottest comics back then.
What Shen Xin needs to do is to draw every shot, not just to imitate, but also to figure out the name that needs to be extensively changed later. As long as this is done, "God of Chess" must have good results.
As the progress of the comic progresses, readers of "Gossip" also discovered the difference between this comic and other comics.
In the second episode of "The Soul of the Game", Jin Tengguang defeated Shi Liang, and many readers found it extremely enjoyable.
At this moment, most of the readers entered Xiaoguang, and when Xiaoguang defeated Shi Liang with the aura of "genius", their hearts were also satisfied.
However, they soon discovered that the story of "Hire of Go" was not the same as they thought.
Shi Liang is not dispensable. Let Xiaoguang's supporting role of ‘slap face’, his serious, focused, and easy-going character makes every reader unable to dislike him.
"I can't understand the character of Shi Liang. Isn't he appearing to make Xiaoguang'slap in the face'?"
"At first glance at the second episode, I also think this way, but in the fourth episode, I think that kind of thinking is too naive. Compared with Xiaoguang's saying'take one or two championships at random', I am even smaller. Bright over there."
"Yes, it takes a lot of hard work to be a professional chess player. It requires not only talent, but also patience, hard work and luck, but even so, you have to pass the fixed stage. What Xiaoguang said is really too It's sad."
"Also in the eighth chapter, the father of He Tetsuo (Kaga Tetsuo) told him that if he can't defeat Shiliang, he can't go home. Shiliang said to Tetsuo,'How about losing to you?' He was really gentle. Being her male My friend, it must be very happy."
"Ahem, Shi Liang is a boy, not a girl."
"Huh? Really?"
"Are you so careless in reading the book? The second sentence, Teacher Shen wrote out, he is Shi Xingyang's son. Did you see,'son', it's a boy!"
"No, Xiao Guang and Xiao Liang held hands in Chapter 5. Now you tell me that Xiao Liang is a boy? Wait, I'll take a moment."
...
The online discussion of "Soul of the Game" is in full swing. So far, everyone's discussion of comics has focused more on the characters, especially Shi Liang, Jin Tengguang and Zuo Wei. The three people have distinct personalities and their style of work is very consistent with their own characteristics. Therefore, they have their own fans.
The result of "Hire of the Game" has been hovering around the fourth place, and the result is relatively stable.
I haven't published a single book yet, and since only 10 episodes have been published, I can't make it into an animation. This kind of result is already very good.
You know, behind the "Hire of Go", there are several animations of works being released.
If you can make animation, "Gossip" may not be a hit.
Wang Wenhong has recently had mixed joys and sorrows. What's happy is that the performance of "Soul of the Chess" is so good. What's worrisome... Well, there is a knot in his heart.
Before he knew it, Wang Wenhong came to Jiman.
Some time ago, "icfuture" wanted to promote "Soul of Chess". Wang Wenhong also took advantage of these opportunities to ask the bookstore owner about the current status of "Soul of Chess".
"Exceeding imagination, I didn't expect that a comic related to Go would be liked by so many readers... By the way, Editor Wang, there is one thing to ask you."
"Huh?" Wang Wenhong looked at the store manager in confusion.
"Posters, can you ask the magazine to send some more posters?"
Wang Wenhong shook his head repeatedly, "No, there are no posters in the magazine. Why not wait for the booklet?"
"Single book? When will you wait?" The store manager was a little embarrassed.
"I don't know, it's coming soon? I guess it's around August." Wang Wenhong speculated.
Based on past experience, in order to cooperate with the promotion, it is possible to give color pages or magazine title pages.
"When the time comes, will Teacher Shen come to sign and sell the book?"
"I guess not."
Seeing the store manager's frustrated face, Wang Wenhong also felt regretful, but now Shen Xin just draws the original manuscripts, and has to work late into the night every day, so he can't get out of it.
"Soul of the Game" can have the current achievements, although it has a great relationship with the story and characterization of "Soul of the Game", but it is also inseparable from the high-quality pictures.
The store manager sighed again and again, and Wang Wenhong laughed dryly, and then went around the booth of "icfuture".
Just as he was about to leave the Jiman bookstore, he accidentally saw that the "mangafly" booth was setting up an advertisement.
Driven by curiosity, Wang Wenhong walked over, but saw a billboard erected on both sides of the "mangafly" booth, and a basketball cartoon character dribbled the ball. The staff was stepping on the ladder and going to the book. Various small flags with cartoon characters are hung on the stall.
A young woman in a suit delivers tools while directing.
"Yan Fei?" Wang Wenhong couldn't help yelling when he saw the woman's appearance.
Yan Fei's movements were stagnant, then turned her head and looked at Wang Wenhong, "Why are you here?"
Wang Wenhong was about to answer, but saw Yan Fei turned her head and continued to direct the staff to place the small flag. He felt bored, and glanced at the billboard again.
""Young Leap" and "Mangafly" are serialized simultaneously, the best newcomer of the 11th district Haruka Tamagawa's powerful work~lightnovelpub.net~Slam Dunk", on July 20th, everyone will be there."
Wang Wenhong read the content of the advertisement again, frowning slightly.
Needless to say, this "Slam Dunk" should be "mangafly", the main comic in the next period of time.
This cartoonist named Yu Chuan Haruka is a rookie like Shen Xin, except that the award-winning regions are different. Moreover, both of them are sports themes, but compared to Go, basketball is obviously more popular.
Wang Wenhong vaguely felt a bad feeling in his heart.
The staff got off the ladder, Yan Fei thanked the staff, then turned around to see Wang Wenhong, and said in surprise: "Why are you still here?"
Wang Wenhong cast a blank look at Yan Fei, "Look at your advertisement, can't you?"
"Of course, how about it. Teacher Yuchuan's painting skills are not bad?" Yan Fei put the bag on her shoulders.
"Not comparable to "The Soul of Chess"." Wang Wenhong did not show weakness.
"Then you have to try it." Yan Fei curled her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.
At this time last year, she was Shen Xin's editor, but now she is replaced by Wang Wenhong.
"Are you interested in drinking a glass of wine?"
"There is no good wine."
"I have something to ask you. It has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with me and Teacher Shen." Wang Wenhong said depressed.
"Huh?" Yan Fei's eyelids twitched twice, wondering what Wang Wenhong meant.
