My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 358: Adjustment
The comics market in District 11 is not as big as China, but the industry chain is complete, and the quality and quantity of comics-related peripherals are also higher than China, which can be seen from the production of games, animations and figures.
More importantly, major magazines will not let their signature cartoonists leave.
Of course, "ComicFuture" has always considered itself to be China's No. 1 magazine, so it didn't focus on foreign comics—it is of course good to have high-quality foreign comics, and it doesn’t matter if there is none.
With this attitude, there is definitely no way to recruit favorite foreign authors.
Shen Xin found Wang Wenhong a bedroom on the first floor and asked him to put his luggage first.
"In the next few months, you will live here... By the way, you will stay here during the day to help me?"
"No, I'm only responsible for the night." Wang Wenhong explained.
"I don't think you are here to help me."
"Ok?"
"You seem to be here to stay." Shen Xin teased.
Wang Wenhong opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute it-he went to the magazine during the day and came over at night.
"Actually, I also know that if you work alone, your efficiency may be higher, but the editor-in-chief is also forced to do nothing. The sales of the magazine have been declining. When the "Killer Diaries" is over, it is estimated that it will decline significantly." Wang Wenhong followed Shen Xin out of the bedroom, and at the same time, he informed the magazine about the situation.
"I'll try to be as fast as possible?" Shen Xin scratched his head, sat in front of the workbench, picked up the pressure-sensitive pen, the tip of the pen touched the pen display, and remembered another thing, "Brother Wang, I have one thing, can you help me? Tell President Shang?"
"Look, my role is not reflected now." Wang Wenhong barked his teeth and smiled.
"I'll give you a call, isn't the effect the same?" Shen Xin said grimly.
"..." Wang Wenhong's smile instantly cooled down, as if it were true.
"Ahem... Well, Teacher Shen, what's the matter with you?"
Wang Wenhong coughed dryly, with a serious expression, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Shen Xin didn't bother with this matter either. "It's the first time I drew this type of comics, so I can't control many places. Sometimes, the length of each sentence may be a little longer. I once I am giving you a manuscript of more than 30 pages. I am afraid that you will not be able to deal with it. So, can you talk to the editor-in-chief first and help me ask his opinion.
This is Shen Xin's decision after repeated thinking.
"Gang Lian" is published in "Monthly GANGAN", so the length of each sentence is not consistent. The few words have more than 30 pages, and the more ones have 60 or 70 pages.
At first, he planned to imitate "Steel Refining", with an average of 40 to 50 pages per sentence. To this end, he bought a computer and a digital tablet.
In the last two days, he still gave up this practice. It's not because it can't be done, but it's not friendly to other cartoonists.
Now the entire comics world is in a balance, with a single story basically around 20 pages. It is already very difficult for ordinary cartoonists to update more than 20 pages a week. Some cartoonists have to stay up all night in order to serialize cartoons because they do not have assistants.
Shen Xin publishes 40 pages a week. If "Steel Refining" is a big hit, someone will definitely follow suit. To a certain extent, it will increase the labor of other cartoonists. Those cartoonists who are already more strenuous in creation may even be affected by this. Eliminated.
Drawing comics is not writing novels.
If the codeword speed of the network author is very fast, he can update 10,000 words a day. But the creation of comics is from drawing, to drawing lines, blacking out, and pasting dots... it may require a lot of people to work together.
Once the number of pages per week provided by the cartoonist to the magazine increases, it may cause a chain reaction, and no one can predict what will happen in the end.
What's more, his physical condition cannot always be at its peak. "Steel Refining" draws 40 pages a week, what about the next comic? 40 pages too?
After more than ten years, he is likely to jump into the pit he dug-after all, he is too old and his physical strength will be limited.
Not everyone can throw the sketches to the magazine for publication like Fujian Yibo.
After thinking about it, Shen Xin decided to take apart the single words of the original book over 40 pages.
The cartoonist is already very hard, and he doesn't need to use the update volume to embarrass other cartoonists.
However, he can split a 40-page comic into two sentences, but if it originally had more than 30 pages, it would be really too few if it were opened again.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Wenhong agreed, "Well, I will tell the editor in chief."
Shen Xin only needs to pay a little attention when arranging short comics, and the operation is not too difficult.
What's more, "ComicFuture" is now very short of good manuscripts. If Shen Xin updates more than 30 pages in a single week, Shang Haozhi should be very happy.
For several days, Shen Xin was busy setting up and outlines, while Wang Wenhong sorted out the information and helped Shen Xin look up the content he needed.
At the same time, the digital tablet mail-ordered from District 11 was finally delivered to Shen Xin's studio.
After several hours of debugging, Shen Xin felt that the problem was not too big when he was operating, so he called Gao Hang and asked him to come over the next day. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm
The next day, Gao Hang came to the studio early and was speechless after seeing the computer and tablet on the workbench.
"Teacher, this is..."
Gao Hang held the pressure-sensitive pen, making him wonder how to express his inner excitement.
This heavy feeling in his hand is completely different from a dip pen.
"Electronic office, increase efficiency. If you don't like..."
"dislike!"
joke!
Gao Hang is not a fool. If this set is less than 100,000 yuan, it will be similar. Which studio can spend this amount of money? Moreover, after familiarization, the work efficiency is indeed much faster than the traditional painting mode.
"There are books on the bookshelf. Wait a while, I will give you a scrap manuscript. Hurry up and practice in the past few months, and don't be in a hurry."
"Yeah." Gao Hang nodded his head heavily.
For him, this is also a new attempt and learning, and we must seize the time to master it.
"Ma Ning and Li Jie...Are you in touch with them?"
Due to the use of a digital tablet, the number of assistants is not as large as before.
Three assistants are best, and two are not bad.
"Ma Ning seems to have gone to "Man Weekly", and it is said that the serialization has been confirmed. As for Li Jie, the latest short story has also passed the review of "ComicFuture" and will be published soon." Gao Hang said seriously.
Shen Xin was a little frustrated. If he didn't have a suitable assistant, it would be really hard to work.
"It looks like I'm looking for Brother Wang's help again."
"Um...Teacher, would you like to try the graduates of the comics school?" Gao Hang reminded, "Some of them should want to be professional assistants."
Comic school?
Shen Xin rubbed his chin, thinking about whether Gao Hang's proposal was feasible.
