Chapter 261: Reviews

  Wang Wenhong informed Li Jie in the evening to let him come to the editorial department of "icfuture", and the two went to Shen Xin's studio together.

As soon as the voice fell, a cheer came from the microphone.

Are you so happy?

Wang Wenhong's mind was full of question marks.

After the two met, they took the subway and came to Shen Xin's studio.

Along the way, although Li Jie didn't speak much, his expression was obviously better. This time, he was not only holding a manuscript, but carrying a schoolbag.

As for what's in the schoolbag, I am afraid that few people besides him know.

Wang Wenhong knocked on the door of the studio, Gao Hang opened the door and led the two people into the room.

"Ms. Shen is still working?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"Yeah. Second floor." Gao Hang pointed upstairs, then returned to his seat, lowering his head to draw the background.

Li Jie came to Shen Xin's studio for the first time. At first glance, he was a little surprised.

"Hurry up." Wang Wenhong turned around and urged Li Jie, who was looking around.

Li Jie quickly followed Wang Wenhong to the second floor.

Seeing Shen Xin still lowering his head to paint, Wang Wenhong motioned to Li Jie to sit on the sofa first, but Li Jie just put the backpack on the ground, but did not sit down.

Wang Wenhong walked to Shen Xin's side, and saw that he was blacking out with a brush, so he didn't say anything.

After Shen Xin put down the brush, Wang Wenhong said, "Li Jie is here."

"Oh."

Shen Xin wiped the ink from his hand, then sat up straight, and saw Li Jie standing next to the sofa, nodding slightly.

Li Jie also nodded slightly and smiled.

"Where is Xiaohan?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"In the room, I'm writing a manuscript." Shen Xin said.

"In other words, why don't you let Xiaohan go to "Qi Chuang Library"? Bao Dong, for your face, must be promoted by everyone."

"Xiaohan is also good in "The Lightest Language". Without the help of others, he has also achieved good results. So, why should I borrow the power of others? Besides, Yishu Culture has a high reputation in the comics industry, but In terms of light novels, it's almost like "The Lightest Language", right?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

Wang Wenhong thought for a while, and that was true.

As the saying goes, every other line is like a mountain.

Although comics and light novels are both books, the sales volume of "Qi Chuang Library" does not win the "Lightest Language".

What about it? Anyway, Shen Xin is now in "icfuture", which is enough.

"Long time no see." Shen Xin walked to Li Jie and said softly.

"Long time... no see." Li Jie was a little incoherent. "Last time, I'm really sorry. I haven't seen you before, so I spoke a little bit abruptly."

"It's okay. I think what you said is pretty good. Although I know what you said, other newcomers may need it."

I don’t know if it’s an illusion. Shen Xin feels that Li Jie is a lot more low-key compared to the beginning of the year.

Li Jie suddenly felt like seeing his confidant.

"Sit down, everyone. Don't be too cautious." Shen Xin waved his hand and motioned to both Li Jie and Wang Wenhong to sit down. Then he went downstairs and took three bottles of Coke and handed them to Li Jie and Wang Wenhong.

"Okay, what can I do?" Shen Xin took a sip of Coke and looked at Li Jie puzzled.

"That's it..." Li Jie quickly put down the Coke, opened his backpack, and took out two large envelopes. "Teacher, take a look at these two manuscripts, which one is better."

Shen Xin took the large envelope, took out the manuscript, and quickly scanned it.

Both comics are called "The Value of Time." At first, Shen Xin thought it was two stories in the same context, that is, comics in the same series.

However, when he read the first manuscript and saw less than ten pages of the second manuscript, he noticed that the two manuscripts talked about the same thing, except that the structure and shots of the comics were different.

Knowing this, Shen Xin immediately read the two manuscripts again.

Li Jie looked at Shen Xin nervously, and quickly asked, "Teacher, how is it?"

"How..." Shen Xin scratched his head, a little difficult to speak.

If the person reading this manuscript is Ye Hexu, maybe it is not so embarrassing, just two words-dead.

This is not to say that these two manuscripts are useless and incapable of being published in magazines, but that the vision of the comics drawn for such a long time will inevitably be higher.

"Just look at these two manuscripts, I would recommend the first one." Shen Xin tapped the manuscript on the desktop.

"The first copy?" Li Jie asked quickly, "isn't the second copy better?"

"The second one is good, just judging from the painting skills. But the structure and the storyboard are not as good as the first one." Shen Xin rubbed his chin, "I really can't figure out why the short comics have such a complicated background?"

"I think this subject is very innovative." Li Jie said quickly.

"It's not fake, it's really innovative. But you also have to know that comics...no, as long as it's a work, don't set it at the beginning. Readers don't pay much attention to your settings. Moreover, there are too many dialogues. , The reader will look very uncomfortable. A dialog box should not exceed three lines, with a maximum of six or seven characters per line."

"However, the background needs to be introduced. I always want readers to know something, right?"

"Refining words. Use as few words as possible to express as much language as possible. Unless it is necessary, such as reasoning or explanatory text, don't let too many words appear in a dialog box, and the reader will be tired. . Moreover, the entry of this comic is too slow."

The beginning of any work is very important.

Even the animation has to show off its selling points in the first three episodes, not to mention the comics.

Even before he crossed, the network novel has developed into a golden chapter, that is, in the first chapter, there will be conflicts or highlights of the story.

"But the background should be introduced too?" Li Jie asked quickly.

"Yes, that's why I think it's not suitable for a comic book like this. It's not suitable for just drawing a sentence... the background of the comic, it's best to intersperse the story when telling the story."

Li Jie nodded, "Actually, Teacher Shen should have seen that these two comics are a story. The first one is the manga submitted ~lightnovelpub.net~ which was published on "Shounen Future"."

"Then why did you draw the second cartoon?" Shen Xin asked puzzled.

"I don't think I'm worse than Luo Zheng, so I asked a...teacher. He gave me some suggestions." Li Jie rubbed his hands uncomfortably.

"Who is Luo Zheng." Shen Xin heard this name for the first time.

"It was the first place in the short comics contest in the first half of the year." Li Jie quickly explained, took out a copy of "Youth Future" from his schoolbag, turned to one of the pages, and handed it to Shen Xin, "This is his cartoon. "

Shen Xin glanced at the cartoon, whose name was "Become a Sister After Waking Up".

Just by looking at the name, you know that it is a transformed comic.

In fact, there are still a lot of cartoons about the transformation of the earth, such as "Ranma", "Yamada and the Seven Witches", not to mention online novels, which support half of the original novels of the two-dimensional.

This type of comics also has its own advantages. First of all, it is quick to enter the title. The opening of the comic tells the reader the selling point of the story. Secondly, there is no need to explain the lengthy background, because even if you don't explain it, the reader can know it.

The rest of the content, as long as there is a good story.

Shen Xin hadn't read the transformation text very much, but this did not affect his judgment of the comics. After reading Luo Zheng's comics, Shen Xin returned the magazine to Li Jie.

"Sorry, your comics are really not as good as Luo Zheng's. In other words, judging from these two comics, Luo Zheng understands the comics better than you." Shen Xin said.
