My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 892: name

Short comics are generally used by magazines or cartoonists to test the waters, judging from readers' preferences, whether the long comics associated with this will be favored by the market.

But if the cartoonist already has some achievements, short stories are not particularly necessary.

The reason why Shen Xin created the short story was not because he was afraid that "" would not be popular in the market. As one of the most successful sports cartoons, "" is almost like a benchmark, and sales are unlikely to be bad.

"" starts with a comedy, and the fierce basketball confrontation was not drawn in the first two chapters. Therefore, Shen Xin decided to create a short story to reflect the characteristics of "".

To put it bluntly, Shen Xin is making bait. As for fish, it is those platforms.

If he gets off the hook, there must be fish coming up, otherwise, there is no point in doing so.

Is it "ComicFuture", is it "Weekly Top", or is it "Young Leap", or other magazines...

Shen Xin is very curious.

Since it was a fish used for "fishing", Shen Xin prepared two short comics, each of which was full of "materials", about 60 pages.

Choose one of the two, confirm one, and draw the original manuscript. It takes about half a month. In addition, the wedding date of Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei is approaching, and Shen Xin decided to use three weeks after confirming the selected short story. The comics are drawn.

When Yan Fei came in, she glanced at the work of her assistants, and noticed that Gao Hang was constantly tying the cables, so she raised her brows slightly.

A straight line can be drawn without a ruler and a pen, and a skilled assistant can do it. Gaohang not only plays straight but also has a fast speed, which is relatively rare.

Yan Fei glanced at Liu Ruoxing again. Her workbench consisted of two, one of which was equipped with a pen screen and a computer, while Liu Ruoxing sat on the other table—the desk was filled with various watercolors and markers. While holding a marker, she is coloring another drawing. Needless to say, she will be mainly responsible for drawing the color pages for a period of time.

Liu Ruoxing uses sai to paint colors faster, but time is not tight now, she is practicing basic skills, not for tasks, but to improve herself.

Since he is mainly responsible for coloring, Liu Ruoxing must be proficient in both hand drawing and computers, otherwise I am sorry for the salary of the top domestic assistants.

This 120-square-meter studio is divided into three areas. The assistant's area accounts for about one-half. The office space of her and Wang Wenhong occupies the remaining one-third, and Shen Xin and Xi Muhan occupy it. The last two thirds.

In order to keep quiet, each area is separated by soundproof glass.

Yan Fei opened the glass door and greeted Xi Muhan who was knocking on the keyboard in the corner, and then moved her gaze to Shen Xin's workbench.

"How is Mr. Lu Ning?" Shen Xin asked casually.

"The first chapter has already come out. After we discussed it, we determined what needs to be revised, and it is estimated that we will have to discuss it in depth. Adapting a comic from a light novel is easy to say, but it is also difficult to create, especially in the storyboard. Yan Fei sighed.

"No, I see other cartoonists draw lightly modified cartoons, it seems very simple." Xi Muhan said casually.

"Ms. Lu Ning can also deal with it'simplely'... She will also live your "National Way", right?" Shen Xin said her own thoughts.

Xi Muhan nodded.

"So, according to the light novel painting, it is not difficult for Teacher Lu Ning. But standing at different heights, you must have different requirements for yourself. Especially reading lightly is not "ComicFuture", the competition will not be very fierce, Teacher Lu I definitely want to get the first place...No, I want to read it lightly." Yan Fei replied.

"Of course, "The Gate of Destiny Stone" is a comic that is sought after by many people." Xi Muhan said with a smile.

Some time ago, the Internet directly labeled "Gate of Destiny" as "made by God", which is enough to prove the excellence of "Gate of Destiny".

"I'm afraid the situation is not so optimistic." Shen Xin waved his hand, "Ms. Lu is black and white, right?"

"Yeah." Yan Fei nodded.

"Now, I don't know if black and white is at a disadvantage on the Internet." Shen Xin rubbed his chin, but looked at Yan Fei, "You also know that the rhythm in front of "Stone of Destiny" is slow, and the readers are very realistic. "Stones of Destiny" will not start very well. Therefore, Sister Yan, you must encourage Teacher Lu and don't let her doubt herself. She wants "Stones of Destiny" to be the first in the light of reading. , I’m afraid, it’s not that easy."

Shen Xin knows the quality of "Stone of Destiny", but he is not sure of the strength of his opponent. It is not easy for "Stone of Destiny" to get the first place.

What's more, the novel has also been released, and readers also know the plot reversal behind it. The amazing feeling is difficult to reappear.

"I know." Yan Fei took a deep breath and wrote down Shen Xin's words.

"Well, these two are short comics, you can read them first." Shen Xin handed the two bound books to Yan Fei.

Yan Fei smiled instantly.

She jumped out of "ComicFuture" ~lightnovelpub.net~ partly because of more freedom, and partly because she can see Shen Xin in the first place.

Just like now, besides Shen Xin, she should be the first person to see this, maybe even before Xi Muhan.

Yan Fei put one of the books on the table and moved her gaze to the one in her hand.

The cover of this copy shows a young man in a ball jersey leaping high, raising his right arm to make a layup, surrounded by his opponents, and on the other side of the blank space, there are four characters written——

"Basketball boy?"

"Don't worry about the name, it's just a short story."

Too.

Yan Fei nodded, "Shen Zheng" is more important than the name of the comic.

The beginning of the comic is a basketball final. One side is 7 points behind, and there are five minutes left. The remaining 20 pages are talking about these five minutes.

The protagonist is the school team's shooting guard, the signature star, but the entire game was restricted and only scored 8 points.

As a star guard, this score is definitely not good. All the hopes of the entire team are pinned on him, and he must attack and stop again and again.

In the process of a breakthrough, the defender hit him on the head, and the protagonist fell to the ground, confused and lost in memories, how he started playing basketball and how to meet his teammates who played basketball.

The medical staff came on the court, and the coach called a timeout. Picture after picture flashed through the protagonist's mind, letting him find the feeling of playing basketball at the beginning.

Next, is the story of the successful comeback of the protagonist team under the leadership of the protagonist.

From the first page, Yan Fei never left her eyes. Especially when she saw the middle, she suddenly became tense. It was not until the end of the game that she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is it?" Shen Xin asked.

"Excellent as always." Yan Fei gave Shen Xin a thumbs up.
