Chapter 351: Selected comics

"and then?"
"Since the themes of the different world are the most popular, it means that there are more readers who like to watch this type of comics, and there is a large enough reader population." Shen Xin reminded, "I think this type of comics may have problems. "
"Cool heat?"
This word popped out in Yan Fei's mind for the first time.
"Really not. The premise for the popularity is that there is a big hit work. For example, everyone thinks "God of Go" is good. If someone immediately drew a Go comic, then it can be said that this Go comic is hot, but a different world. It’s the background of the story. Let’s put it this way, the backgrounds of "Soul of Go" and "Crimination" are very similar to reality. You can't say that "Slam Dunk" is catching up with the popularity of "Soul of Go", right?"
Yan Fei chewed on the ramen, recalling Shen Xin's words, and felt that Shen Xin's words made more sense.
"Well, there is another problem. There are many readers who like different world themes, and the number of comics is also large. On average, the readers of a comic are extremely limited, not even comparable to niche comics. Just like "Hikaru" , Almost attracts all readers who like Go, because China’s top comics related to Go is this one."
This is another very real problem.
Just like in online novels, fantasy is definitely a big category. Many readers start with fantasy novels when they come into contact with online novels. This makes the readers of fantasy novels in a certain period of time far exceed those of other types. At the same time, the number of fantasy novels is almost the most. One can imagine how difficult it is for a new book to break out of tens of thousands of fantasy novels.
With so many novels, even if some of them are routines, some of them are novel novels. This enriches the content of fantasy novels, and at the same time fills in the "dead spots" that may be missed by fantasy novels.
If a novel wants readers to buy it, the author must show sincerity.
Everyone has eyes, and perfunctory works can easily be discarded.
As an analogy, the same is true for comics with alien themes.
The comics that can break the siege from many other world comics are almost all the signs or pillars of major magazines.
"You are right. But the readers of poor comics cannot be divided into good comics, so you can't use the average to measure a comic genre."
Yan Fei was taken aback, but she had to agree with Shen Xin's words.
The popularity of a comic must have its unique characteristics. The market and readers' preferences cannot be deduced by experience. In addition to the market itself, no one knows what the next hotspot is.
"Then Huaxia readers will accept it?"
"Try it, draw a few words first, and try the reader's response before talking." Shen Xin took a sip and ate the udon noodles in his mouth.
"I think it will be difficult." Yan Fei frowned, disagreeing with Shen Xin's words, "If the background is set to a different world, there will indeed be a lot of room for manipulation. Because the logic of the different world is determined by the author. But the most important thing is how the setting can be accepted by readers without major logical errors. You are right. It does not take much time to draw a name, but it will take time to design the background and logic of a world. A lot of time. If the name fails, will you still change the settings?"
"That's why I have to prepare for a long time, including searching for information, setting the background, and striving for a one-off draft."
Of course, Shen Xin knows the importance of setting, so even if he knows the name of the entire comic, he still has to be careful and careful. He has a deeper understanding of the background and setting of the whole story before he draws the name.
"Since you have a score in your heart, then I'm relieved. But the comics based on the different worlds are different from the comics you have drew before, so you must be careful." Yan Fei exhorted.
"I know."
In fact, after coming out of Tamagawa Haruka's studio, Shen Xin has already decided on the manga to be drawn in the lower part-"Fullmetal Alchemist".
The background of this comic is an overhead world, but it also involves some real-life knowledge, such as alchemy and alchemy. Moreover, the combination of forming a formation and alchemy is also very innovative. The quality of the comics is not to mention, even in District 11, it is also a palace-level comics, it depends on whether the Chinese readers of this world can accept it.
However, if you choose "Gang Lian", there will be other problems. "Gang Lian" is a cartoon published in "Monthly Boy Gangan", and the number of pages in a single episode is completely different from that of a weekly magazine. Weekly magazines have around 20 pages, while monthly magazines usually have 40 or even 50 pages, almost doubled. So, can he draw so many manuscripts in a week? This is one of them. In addition, can the magazine give "Steel Refining" so much space.
Serial publication in a magazine is very different from publication on the Internet. The number of pages in each issue of the magazine is fixed. If the number of pages of a comic increases, there will be a comic that will reduce the number of pages, and there will even be an extra comic that has been cut in half.
Alas, how does the magazine operate specifically, or wait for it to go back, and then sit down and negotiate?
Take a step and take a look. If it really doesn't work, think of another way.
After the two had finished their meal, they returned to the hotel.
Seeing Wang Wenhong and Xi Muhan, Shen Xin briefly talked about the process of meeting, and then said to Xi Muhan: "Take a list of the good occult books you have read, as well as books related to alchemy. I Go back and refer to it carefully."
"Well, I'll find it for you later. Anyway, I have read a lot of these kinds of books recently." Xi Muhan wrote down Shen Xin's request.
"So the type of comics in the lower part has been determined?" Wang Wenhong said happily.
"Well. Another world has something to do with occultism," Shen Xin said.
"Another world?" Wang Wenhong was taken aback, this was a little bit different from what he thought, "Is it related to mysticism? Can readers understand?"
"One of the tasks of comics is to simplify complicated knowledge? If we really can’t satisfy the editor-in-chief, let’s think of other ways. I am quite confident in the lower comics. But Brother Wang, time has to be hurry. After I go back, I will ask the owner about the house. Also, hurry up and find an assistant."
"Gao Hang?"
"Let's find Gao Hang first." Shen Xin nodded.
Although it is uncertain when it will be serialized, Shen Xin decided to ask his assistant to try the pen display to see if it can speed up work efficiency.
At first, it may be a little uncomfortable. From unfamiliar to proficient, it takes some time to practice.
"That's great, I'll contact Gao Hang when I turn around...Well, wait a moment?"
"Sister Yan, do you really stop thinking about my invitation?" Shen Xin asked Yan Fei again in a low voice.
Yesterday and today ~lightnovelpub.net~Shen Xin once again experienced the difference between Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong.
Compared with the two, Wang Wenhong's ability to do things is much better than Yan Fei, and Yan Fei has a better understanding of the works. In terms of language, Wang Wenhong also has a weak point-he can't speak Japanese.
Yan Fei looked at Shen Xin, then at Wang Wenhong, shook her head and said, "No. However, if I go to "comicfuture", I will apply to be your editor in charge."
Wang Wenhong raised his brows slightly and bit his head and said, "I'll come, I'll be afraid of you?"
Shen Xin looked at the two people who were quarreling and sighed, but never thought that he was the source of the quarrel.
Later, Ji Yinxuan and Xia Luo also returned to the hotel and gave a "work report" to everyone.
"We found a very powerful supervisor, and the quality of the "Hire of Goss" movie can also be guaranteed. However, the details of the contract may have to be re-finalized, and it may take another day." Ji Yinxuan's face is very rare. A smile appeared.
