My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 859: West Peak
"Well, this is new."
A young man with dark skin and rough features handed Xu Jie a 20-page book with both hands.
Xu Jie took it and looked through it carefully.
It is a comic created by newcomer light novelist Xifeng and cartoonist Han Ye. It tells the story of a poor protagonist who enters colleges and universities through self-learning knowledge, and then changes his destiny.
One of the highlights of the whole novel is the combination of magic and science, especially the combination of alchemy, chemistry, and medicine, which makes many readers shine.
The fusion of magic and the world only constitutes the world view of the entire comic, and the fight is also ingenious.
The so-called magic, in essence, is that electrons jump and release energy, thereby emitting light of various colors, releasing heat and energy, and this is again related to physics.
Xu Jie was born in liberal arts, and knew nothing about physics and chemistry. His own understanding of this comic and the setting of the whole world made him feel fresh.
Say it is completely a new type, right? In fact, this is not always true. In Europe, there are some academy-related novels. In those novels, the protagonists or villains also use magic, and at the same time, they also live in the current social civilization.
However, this aspect is described in more detail and some reasons are explained.
However, this way of writing also has obvious shortcomings. That is, Xifeng himself is a liberal arts student and does not know much about physics and chemistry. Even if the science knowledge involved is not too much, it is enough for the third year of high school, but for him, it is extremely difficult. .
Not to mention Han Ye, after graduating from an American school and working on comics for such a long time, his understanding of science has degraded to a whiteboard.
It is almost impossible for such three people to gather together to make the setting of this comic not leak.
But it also belongs to brain-hole comics. Logic is not the most important thing. Readers want to see how the protagonist will use magic and science under such a setting.
To be more blunt, what readers want to see most when reading this comic is actually how the author uses magic to explain science.
After Xu Jie watched it quickly, there was generally no problem.
"It's really amazing. It's only half a year. You can draw such a qualified one. The pressure of Teacher Han Ye is probably much easier." Xu Jie sighed again and again.
"I can't say that... The reason why I can make progress so fast now is thanks to Teacher Han Ye. Moreover, this is just a sketch, and Teacher Han will definitely revise the storyboard." Xifeng smiled credulously, but in his heart There is a hint of pride.
Xu Jie nodded slightly.
Xifeng was right. Compared with Xifeng's a few months ago, this one is a real improvement, but if it is handed over to Han Ye, Han Ye will still draw it again.
In District 11, many of the original works are cartoonists themselves, and they have their own understanding of the comic strips. However, even so, the cartoonists who wrote and created the comics still have to make changes in many places when they get the strips. Needless to say, Xifeng has learned from the ground up.
Among the original works that Xu Jie knows, the one with the highest quality of the storyboard should be Xi Muhan, and hers can basically be used directly as a storyboard. But this is also related to Xi Muhan's own talent, and with the help of Yan Fei, he did this step.
Therefore, in this respect, there must be a gap between Xifeng and Xi Muhan.
However, it is ranked in the top five in the small books, which shows that the quality of itself is not bad.
It was fortunate that Yu Chen thought of this method at the time, so that he still maintained three excellent works and maintained the magazine's sales at around 3 million copies.
"Teacher Xifeng, there is one more thing, the editor-in-chief asked me to inform you." Xu Jie saw Xifeng sitting at the computer desk preparing to type, and said softly, "Now, the company intends to read and write."
"is it!?"
Xifeng quickly raised his head, his face beaming with joy.
For Xifeng, his reputation is even higher, but this is his work and Han Ye's works, but it belongs to him completely.
Han Ye's achievements have nothing to do with Han Ye, he himself made this novel up.
"Yes. Right now, the click list ranks the top two. The first volume of the single-volume has sold 280,000 volumes, and the second volume of the single-volume has also sold 150,000 volumes. The company has great expectations for it."
"That's good... I thought the single book had to debut five or six volumes before it was possible to change it?" Xifeng sneered.
"Opportunity, light reading and vigorous development of online light novels just meet the requirements of the magazine. It is estimated that when the booklet reaches the fourth volume, the animation will start."
"I have already written it." Xifeng quickly raised his hand.
"It's useless." Xu Jie shook his head. "The purpose of animation is to promote the monographs. Now, the monographs have only been published in two volumes. Let's put it this way, the content of the first two monographs is enough to make a quarterly or even half-yearly edition. But What can be done after it is broadcast? There are only a few booklets of the novel, and the benefits to the magazine will not be too high. Therefore, it should start production in the fourth or fifth volume. However, even if The production may only be one season, so please be mentally prepared."
Except for particularly excellent light novels, there are often not too many episodes of lightly modified animations.
It was originally for selling books, and many light novels will be over before the second season is released.
"I know." Xifeng smiled, feeling a little uncomfortable.
But even if he has a little achievement ~lightnovelpub.net~, he is still a rookie and has little right to speak.
"Wait for the good news from me? The comics...should be written by a cartoonist who is very good at drawing and shouldn't waste this novel."
"Is there no better?" Xifeng asked.
"Domestic... there shouldn't be any great cartoonists now, right?" Xu Jie shook his head.
"I know there is." Xifeng said stiffly.
"Yes?" Xu Jie scratched his head, thinking about it for a long time, and said, "Could you mean Teacher Shen Zheng? Impossible."
Xu Jie waved his hand quickly.
What level of manga is it? How can you please move Shen Zheng?
"Brother Xu, don't be joking. I mean, Teacher Lu... she shouldn't draw cartoons too, right?" Xifeng reminded.
"Huh?" Xu Jie took a breath and looked at Xifeng, "How do you know her?"
"I've seen it more or less... and, I also know that she is a beautiful cartoonist." Xifeng took it by mistake, "Cooperate and make it easier."
"May I ask for you? But, don't hold up too much hope, her current worth is about the same as Teacher Han Ye, you probably won't invite it." Xu Jie reminded.
"Just help me ask, what if she agrees?" Xifeng nodded, glanced at the screen again, his expression suddenly became nervous, "Right, I want to ask, I've been reading the click list for the moment. One, the editorial department... how will the company treat it?"
Now, just serialized to Chapter 19, the comments at the bottom of the novel have reached 30,000, which is almost as many, but the number of words is nearly one million, which makes him feel pressure. Is this novel really so good-looking?
"There is no plan."
"Huh?" Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and then muttered to himself, "It's also... too few words."
"It has nothing to do with the number of words." Xu Jie shook his head, "There is no contract for this novel."
