My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 39: opponent
This night, Jian Xiaomei did not go home, let alone sleep. Instead, he asked his assistant to bring up all the magazines downstairs, and then picked out the comics drawn by the authors he had never seen before.
"No! The painter is not solid." Ye Hexu sat cross-legged on the floor, flipped through a magazine, and threw it behind him.
"Where is this one?" Jian Xiaomei threw the next one he had picked to Ye Hexu. After the other side looked at it twice, he discarded it again.
"Jian Xiaomei, when you recommend the manga, can you take a look at the storyboard? At least you have to have a similar level?" Ye Hexu complained.
"I'm so sorry for the'garbage' that made you look twice more." Jian Xiao said with gritted teeth.
"Well, it will be fine next time." Ye Hexu nodded, and took the magazine from Jian Xiaomei.
Change your sister...
Jian Xiaomei couldn't wait to throw the book on Ye Hexu's face.
"what?"
"What's wrong?" Jian Xiaomei, who was angry, asked in a puzzled way.
""Crumbling" suddenly became interesting." Ye Hexu touched his chin and looked at the cartoons spread on the floor.
"Huh? Are you interested in competing with him?" Jian Xiaomei was overjoyed and asked quickly.
"No." Ye Hexu shook his head, "Compared with before, the quality has not improved much, but the future development of the plot makes me feel interesting."
"How interesting?" Jian Xiaomei asked.
"Broken...or not. The first 10 episodes are mainly funny, but this new character is a female knight in this world. By the way, have you seen the script of "Together" written by Su Han?"
"No. What's the matter?" Jian Xiaomei puzzled.
"Well... it's nothing. This heroine is a new character, and I don't know how it will affect the story behind." Ye Hexu looked up and thought, "After all, I am not the original author."
Jian Xiao nodded her eyebrows. If what Ye Hexu said is true, there should be signs of deviating from the outline.
In the process of creation, the author often produces some fantastic ideas. If the author writes or draws these ideas into the work, it will be inconsistent with the previous outline, and further, may be extended to a completely different outline.
It's normal for creators to deviate from the outline, but they must pay attention to controlling the direction of the story. Otherwise, the story may not come back and go to unknown territory, and then the story will collapse.
"This is "MangaFly", and it is also the magazine we need to watch out for the most. Look, are there any newcomers that need attention."
Because of being an old opponent, Jian Xiaomei is quite familiar with the manga artists of "MangaFly". There are certainly no powerful newcomers in the comics being serialized, but the short story is hard to say.
is the same as the three major magazines, "MangaFly" is only slightly weaker than "ComicFutura". Of course, the strength is not to be said. The newcomers who can serialize on it are all good.
"Huh..." Ye Hexu arched his body and quickly flipped through the latest issue of "MangaFly". After reading about two or three short stories, he closed the magazine.
"How is it?" Jian Xiaomei asked.
"There should be good newcomers, but not in this issue." Ye Hexu said.
"How do you know?" Jian Xiaomei puzzled.
"The short stories in this issue are good, but the overall quality is a little bit worse... "MangaFly" may use these people as a stepping stone to bring out a newcomer. Compendium, the recent issues of "MangaFly" will all be sent to me, I Let's see who this person is." Ye Hexu said to Jian Xiaomei.
"No problem." Jian Xiaomei was immediately wary, "Then... what do you think about the next new serialization of this magazine? I think it's pretty good."
"What magazine?" Ye Hexu asked.
""Weekly NewWorld"."
"I haven't heard of it." Ye Hexu thought for a while, but didn't have any impression.
"The local magazines sell hundreds of thousands of copies, right?" Jian Xiaomei explained.
"This way..." Ye Hexu took the magazine and turned to the page with Jian Xiao's eyebrow folded, "Y's? Shen Zheng? He should be a newcomer...but..."
"But what?" Jian Xiaomei asked.
Ye Hexu did not speak any more, read the third episode of "Y's" without saying a word, then stood up from the ground, took "NewWorld" and returned to his seat, spreading the magazine on the drawing, again from front to back. After reading through it, he turned to Jian Xiaomei and said, "I want the previous issues of "NewWorld"!"
"Do you think that comic is OK?" Jian Xiaomei asked in surprise.
"I have to read the previous two words before I can make a judgment. Hurry up and look for it?" Ye Hexu's cheeks were ruddy.
"It's late at night, where can I find it?" Jian Xiao pinched her waist and raised her eyebrows. "Besides, there are probably no previous magazines on the market."
"NewWorld" is a weekly magazine. Unsold magazines must be recycled by the magazine. Unless some stores deliberately leave it behind, it is difficult to buy the previous magazines.
Ye Hexu opened his mouth, his expression dimmed, "It's also... if the magazine can't be sold, it's the magazine's business. Just looking at this, "Y's" is absolutely fine."
Sitting on the sofa, the sleepy assistant suddenly became more awake and hurriedly sat up straight.
"Teacher Ye, compendium... I have something to say."
"Ok?"
Ye Hexu and Jian Xiaomei simultaneously looked at the middle-aged assistant.
"Um...actually, I bought the previous two "NewWorld"." When the assistant said this, there was a rare slight redness on his cheeks.
"What nonsense? Take it out quickly!" Jian Xiaomei couldn't wait to kick his assistant's ass.
Without a word, the assistant slipped into the bedroom and took out two magazines from under the bedding.
"Two teachers, you must be careful—" Jian Xiaomei took the assistant away as soon as he returned to the living room.
"I will give you a set of "Y's" pamphlet." Jian Xiaomei said impatiently.
Ye Hexu also jumped off the swivel chair and took over "NewWorld" from Jian Xiaomei.
"Oh, I used the color page in the first chapter. It's really bold." Ye Hexu opened the magazine and saw Iori's portrait. He was taken aback for a while, and then chuckled again.
"This cartoon should be the signature of "NewWorld", right?" Jian Xiao frowned, UU reading www.uukanshu.com with a serious expression, staring at the magazine in his hand, and not long after reading the second episode, "Do you think How is this comic?"
"Excellent manga...it's just a bit weird." Ye Hexu rubbed his chin, seemingly thoughtful, but his eyes were extremely bright, and a flush appeared on his cheeks.
"Why is it weird?"
"The storyboard is different. The storyboard for the first episode is obviously more natural. The storyboard for the third episode is a bit worse, and it feels less smooth. If he can always keep the name of the first episode, there will be no suspense for the newcomer award next year. ."
"Huh? The quality of this comic is very high, but would you say that is too exaggerated?" Jian Xiaomei questioned.
"It's not an exaggeration." Ye Hexu showed a rare smile on his face, and read the third episode again. "The third episode has a slightly poorer shot. Even so, only a few of the newcomers can reach this level. However, it is also possible that the preparation time for the first episode is relatively long, and the time for the third episode is relatively short, which caused this situation."
Ye Hexu took the second episode over again, read it carefully, and his eyes became more and more excited.
"I have decided to participate in the'Newcomer Award' next year!" Ye Hexu closed the three magazines and barked with a smile.
"Really?" Jian Xiaomei finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ye Hexu's painting, "You finally agreed. Tomorrow... No, this morning, I will tell the editor-in-chief to move "Crime" to "Weekly ComicFutura" ."
"No—" Ye Hexu shook his finger, "I want to use new comics. "Y's" has taught me a lot, so I will use my own comics and "Y's" to compete for the'newcomer award'. Finally, it will not be so next year. boring."
