My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 710: Plot and choice

Whether to let the protagonist suffer setbacks is indeed the reason that makes it difficult for many authors to decide.

Investigate the reason, because this decision will affect the performance of the comics.

After all, comics are commercial creations. If the author wants to make money, the work must be approved by the readers.

When it comes to creation, many authors say that they want to create an ideal comic. However, when faced with this situation, many authors seldom have firm convictions.

The content they want to create in their minds may even be far from the works that are actually displayed in front of the readers.

why?

Cartoonists are gamblers. If they want to win the game, they have to cater to the preferences of the readers.

This is why, when a work is on fire, other works will follow suit, and no matter how bad it is, they will put the popular segments of other works in their own works to gain more readers' favor.

It sounds a little flattering, but this is commercial creation, in order to maximize the value of the work.

Whether the protagonist suffers a setback happens to be one of the factors that affect the performance of the work.

In the minds of many authors, they really want the protagonist to be frustrated. In this process, the author will move himself while creating, and in addition, the subsequent plots will be better handled.

Although there are no statistics, many authors have a consensus that if the protagonist can enjoy more works with "protagonist halo", they will generally have better results.

"I recommend……"

Yan Fei took a deep breath, and now the momentum is good, any operation will affect the performance of the work.

"I suggest, win?"

After uttering these two words, Yan Fei was still nervous, but in her opinion, this was the best choice.

"But I think that if you want to make your work better, setbacks are also indispensable. Just like "Soul of the Chess", if it weren't for leaving, there won't be so many readers, right?" Xi Muhan asked Up my own opinion.

"You’re right. However, the young manga is different from the one you created before. Different readers face different works, and their endurance limits are different. To be honest, just for the plot alone, you have not Ability to do well." Yan Fei sighed.

Xi Muhan opened his mouth slightly, unconvinced, and looked back at Shen Xin, "Brother Xin, do you think so too?"

"I?"

The workload of "DN" is never before, and "Y’s" is about to attract one of the most exciting scenes in the entire comic. He really has no time for him to take care of it.

In other words, Shen Xin didn't watch "Ding Shi" recently.

However, Xi Muhan's eyes were full of expectation, and Shen Xin couldn't bear to disappoint Xi Muhan, so he could only explain it briefly.

"Comic...or any type of work will not prevent the protagonist from suffering setbacks. A truly excellent comic can have a plot that is abusive."

These are the true words of Shen Xin.

Compared with the funny scenes in "The Pirate", readers are more likely to remember the past of Nami, Robin, Zorro, Sanji and others, and it is easier to remember the "Battle on the Top", the white beard and The scene of Ace withdrawing from the stage of "The Pirate" is also printed in the memory of "The Pirate" fans.

In "Slam Dunk", Xiangbei defeated the national league triple champion Shanwang Industry, but fell in front of Aihe Academy in the next round, which made readers feel sorry, but also made this comic an eternal classic.

Not to mention "touch", Uesugi Kazuo was also going to the game, but he was in a car accident because he saved the child. So far, the two protagonists in the early stage are only his brother Uesanda. Uesanda also had to take up the responsibility of Heya and led the school's baseball team into Koshien.

These three comics are among the top three in the average sales of single-volume books in the 11 districts. Even the third-ranked "touch" has sold more than 3.8 million copies, which is more than 300,000 copies more than "Dragon Ball".

In classic works, there is a scene that will resonate.

"Then I..."

"I heard that after you finish speaking, whether the protagonist will lose depends not on your current thoughts, but on the plot and the growth of the characters, and what you want to convey to the reader. If the protagonist is better than the opponent, or is between the opponents , You let the protagonist lose the game, do you think the reader will be convinced? Can you convince yourself and the reader?

"On the contrary, if the opponent is better than the protagonist, then it is reasonable for the protagonist to lose the game; you can also design the plot carefully so that the protagonist can use his own characteristics to win the opponent. This is the plot of the following grams. For readers, This plot is a surprise, and it can ignite the passion in their hearts. The frustration is not that you can’t write, but that after the protagonist fails, you have to let the reader see the protagonist’s gains and the "hope" of catching up with the opponent.

"So, the best plot is to let the characters advance the story, rather than the author deliberately creating the plot. This will make the plot very blunt." Shen Xin took a deep breath, "I think you should have created a well-matched opponent. Therefore, , Sister Yan would say, now you can’t draw the plot in your heart~lightnovelpub.net~, right? Or, you don’t know how to choose. You can discuss with Sister Yan again , This is also a sharpening."

It is also the death of an important character in the play. "Touch" can become a classic, but "Fengxia" is to feed the readers. Similar plots, different results, this is the gap between the authors.

Some seemingly inappropriate plots are not impossible to draw, but how the author operates.

After some words, Shen Xin spoke dryly, and he was not sure whether Xi Muhan could hear it.

Sometimes, many authors do not understand these principles, but cannot do them.

Xi Muhan nodded, but nodded. Yan Fei gave Shen Xin a thumbs up and joked: "Mr. Shen, you can start a school."

"I think I can be an editor." Shen Xin also smiled.

"Don't make trouble, do you think any magazine can afford you?" Yan Fei smiled bitterly.

Shen Xin shrugged, "You didn't invite this, but I didn't say it."

"Of course we don't invite you. You will be the editor, who will draw "DN"." Yan Fei shook her head, "Yes, "Y’s"...Iori and Yigui will graduate from high school soon. Will the story end?"

"It's over?" Shen Xin was taken aback, and asked, "Do you think, when is it better for "Y’s" to end?"

"Listening to you, it means that "Y’s" should have a follow-up story... Actually, I'm still looking forward to it."

"What do you expect?" Shen Xin asked puzzledly.

"Most of the romance comics are over after graduating from high school. I want to see what kind of development they will have after high school."

Is the plot after graduating from high school?

"I'm also looking forward to it." Shen Xin smiled.
