My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 908: Anxious
Lu Yingxue also read the coloring page of "Basketball Sky" for the first time.
After reading it the first time, he felt shock the most.
These color pages are still not comparable to the illustrations he drew, but comparing comics and illustrations alone is too difficult to be a cartoonist.
He has seen other colorful comics, and he also knows the level of the people Shi Qun is looking for, but what can be done?
The magazine only provided so much manuscript fee. If you hire a high-level cartoonist, you will have to pay a large fee for your assistants. The gain is not worth the loss.
However, being compared by readers, and there is also a sense of being underestimated, which makes him somewhat unacceptable.
Don’t people live for a breath?
Therefore, we must find a way to change.
It seems that we need to have a meeting with Teacher Shi Qun to arrange the work afterwards clearly.
Lu Yingxue took her cell phone and thought about it again and again, and sent a text message to Shi Qun.
...
The mobile phone screen on the desktop lights up, and Shi Qun, who is staring at the computer screen, sets his eyes on the mobile phone.
After reading the text message, Shi Qun immediately stood up, left the bedroom, and went to the living room on the first floor.
Fan Yinmo was lying on the sofa with a wet towel on his forehead, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable.
Fan Yinmo was always depressed after Shen Zheng announced that "Basketball Sky" would upload color pages, but after he read the color pages, the whole person became uncomfortable.
How can it be played like this?
Color pages of this quality are simply impossible for ordinary studios to follow.
Assistants must have a high level. At the same time, the workload of the cartoonist is very tight, even if it is two Mondays, it will still be very difficult.
In this situation, how can it be possible to draw such a coloring page?
Now, "The Devil's Family Education" relies on color pages to attract readers, and now that "Basketball Sky" engages in this way, readers' tastes have changed.
But he invested a lot of money in "The Devil's Family Education", and he still hasn't paid his back?
The more I think about it, the more irritable Fan Yinmo's heart is.
Shi Qun walked to the sofa and said to Fan Yinmo, "Brother Fan, Teacher Snow wants to talk to me."
"He? What does he have to say?" Fan Yinmo opened his eyes and looked at Shi Qun in front of him.
"He is the chief writer. Up to now, he has painted "The Demon King's Family Education". He and I are partners. After the color page of "Basketball Sky" comes out, readers will naturally compare it with "The Demon King's Family Education". , Is he under a lot of pressure?"
"A lot of pressure?" Fan Yinmo blinked and suddenly sat up, frightening Shi Qun. When he looked at Fan Yinmo again, the sad cloud on Fan Yinmo's face disappeared, replaced by a happy expression.
"Brother Fan, what's the matter with you?" Shi Qun was a little surprised.
"I suddenly figured out something." Fan Yinmo shook his finger with a chuckle, "Guess, who is the most anxious person right now?"
"I don't know." Shi Qun shook his head.
It's not me anyway.
Shi Qun's original manuscript was sold to Fan Yinmo page by page. In fact, without Fan Yinmo's funding, "The Demon King's Family Education" would not be finished.
Now, the manuscript in "ComicFuture" is considered second-hand, he just signed a word, and there is a contract between him and Fan Yinmo.
The money that should be earned is now in hand, and "The Devil's Family Education" is either profitable or lost, which has little to do with him.
Even if "The Demon King's Family Education" could make one hundred million, he would not be even divided.
Shi Qun is not a greedy person, just give money, not to mention that Fan Yinmo gave him a lot of money.
Of course, "ComicFuture" also bought out the comic "The Devil's Family Education", and Fan Yinmo's money is relatively fixed. So far, Fan Yinmo must have made money, and he has made a lot of money, but the performance of "The Devil's Family Education" affects Shi The achievements of Qun's new works-Shi Qun also sold his new works to Fan Yinmo on a page-by-page basis.
Cartoonists are gamblers, and he doesn't want this kind of risk, he wants stability.
"It's snow. Don't forget, he is the chief writer. If the coloring is not good, his reputation will also be affected, and he will definitely be anxious."
"What can he do if he is in a hurry?" Shi Qun rolled his eyes. "The magazine pays page by page. If you want to hire a high-level assistant, you will earn less."
"Don't worry, take a look at his attitude first, maybe he is willing to do more work? This is also possible." Fan Yinmo rubbed his hands, "Besides, this is just a short comic, who dares to say that his long comic is also Color Man? It's impossible. The cost is too high."
Shi Qun nodded.
He agrees with this.
This colorful comic is indeed amazing and opened his eyes to him, but to be honest, this level is not unparalleled.
The overall quality of "Basketball Sky" is higher than that of the domestic color pages, and is basically the same as the color pages of "Young Leap", which should be at the upper-middle level.
The reason why it has caused such a sensation is that it is serialized on the Internet, and that the work that can be compared with it in China is not at a level, which makes it feel like it stands out from the crowd.
Another reason is that its black and white pages are too good, the characters' movements, and the screen shots are all of high quality. The high-level black and white pages are used as the foundation, and the color pages show the tension of the picture. Therefore, it is reasonable that "Basketball Sky" is sought after by readers.
But as Fan Yinmo said, Shen Zheng also painted a color page at most to promote the new work. The serialization of a long new work cannot be a color page.
It's not that he underestimated Shen Zheng, but this kind of color page, the workload is too much, it is difficult to complete the weekly change, human energy is limited.
In addition, from the short story, "Basketball Sky" has a detailed picture.
The more detailed the comic, the longer it will take.
Therefore, Shen Zheng launched the color manga + black and white manga this time, which has a stronger publicity meaning, and the actual operability is not great.
He also didn't believe that Shen Zheng produced another colorful comic when he was serializing his new work.
However, even so, web cartoonists are estimated to be very stressful. After all, readers will have higher demands on them.
"However, the reader's vision will become higher." Shi Qun reminded.
"Don't you know that there is a group of people called navy? As long as I find some navy and let them tell the truth about the matter, readers will naturally lower their expectations of Caiman. That's right, the coloring page of "Basketball Sky" The quality is very high, but it is impossible for Shen Zheng to be at this level in every word.'You can have dumplings during the Chinese New Year'. This craze is over and everything is the same." Fan Yinmo touched his nose and smiled.
Shi Qun scratched his head. He was not used to Fan Yinmo's approach, but he was not qualified to refuse.
"By the way~lightnovelpub.net~ The meeting with snow, I will go there too."
"You too?" Shi Qun asked in surprise.
"Yes. I want to listen to his thoughts. After all, our opinions are very unified, just to make "The Devil's Family Education" more profitable, right? You want to have a higher value, right?"
Shi Qun rubbed his face and nodded. No one thought he was famous, and he was no exception.
...
District 11, the editorial department of "Young Leap".
Murakami rubbed his temples.
After seeing the coloring page of "Basketball Sky", he suddenly became nervous.
This tension does not come from "Basketball Sky", but from other magazines.
Now he is not the only one who knows that "Basketball Sky" was uploaded to the forum in District 11, and Shen Zheng's previous results in District 11 are equally good. Take the comic book serialization of "DN" for example, the volume has exceeded 1 million. ——This is a cartoon serialized on the Internet.
Inferring from the current short stories, the quality of Shen Xin's lower works is also not low. If it is serialized on a platform like Zhou Man top, will the volume of the new book exceed 2 million?
No one can tell.
By then, his pressure will be really great.
Thinking of this, Murakami looked up at Otani, "Otani, help me book a ticket to Hongchuan."
"Okay." Otani felt nervous when he heard Murakami say this.
Murakami should be meeting with Shen Zheng, so the lower part of the work may be serialized in "Young Leap", although the chance is not great.
It would be great if cooperation could be reached...
"By the way, do you have a passport?" Murakami asked again.
"Have."
"Then book two tickets, you and me, go to Hongchuan." Murakami Toru said in response.
