My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 993: remind
However, it has to be said that double opening is indeed a way to ensure that creators can get the most benefits, so that at least the income of serial comics can be guaranteed. As for the difficulty, it is much greater than 1+1.
In the manga "Dream Eater", Real Takagi and Akito Takagi used this method when faced with the advice of the editor Goro Minato to create a comic manga. However, even though it was created by two people, the other comic was still not serialized successfully.
The difficulty of serializing two comics at the same time is really challenging the limits of cartoonists.
Of course, some people have done it on Earth.
When he was young, Rumiko Takahashi published "Fuck Boy" and "A Moment Together" in "Weekly Shonen Sunday" and "A Moment" respectively, and was a great success and became a classic of the generation. From this point of view, few people can match Takahashi's talent in comics.
There are also double-opening by other authors in District 11, but in more cases, one of the two books is the original work, not the creator himself, just like Aunt Niu serialized "The Battle of Arslan" when she serialized "Silver Key". The original work of this comic is the famous novelist, Yoshiki Tanaka.
What Shen Xin meant was not to let Luo Zheng double open, but to submit a short story to the magazine in the name of a new author. If the effect is better than "Idol Times", then Luo Zheng will discuss with the magazine and use the new work. Serialization, replacing "Idol Age". However, this kind of creation will be very difficult. In particular, if the magazine is to abandon "Idol Age", the new work must have a refreshing new idea.
Shen Xin doesn't know much about comics related to idols. I have seen it in animation, such as "The Idol Master" and "lovelive!" ", but they are not too good in comics. The ceiling of the band's comics is there. Yazawa Ai's "NANA" once won the first place in 2005 in a single-volume one-volume book, and the second place is "The Pirate".
Although "The Pirate" was serialized in the "City of Seven Waters" at that time, Robin betrayed and Usopp disembarked. The atmosphere of the comics was extremely depressing. At the same time, in 2005, there were no specific sales statistics in the 11 districts. It’s just the circulation and the specific sales, but I don’t know how much it sells, but "NANA" is also a monthly update. In terms of gathering popularity, it is not as good as "The Pirate". The circulation of a single volume can surpass "The Pirate", which is already very rare.
The ceiling of this type of comics is here. It is really too difficult to rely on idols or music and fight against hot-blooded comics for a long time.
"As for how to change...In fact, you should also have the feeling that you have been painting a subject, and various routines are changed to flowers. It will really make readers feel tired and feel that the work is'tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to discard it.' This kind of work I don’t have much research on the subject matter, and I’m not too interested. If I want to say there is something to improve, based on my experience, I should be able to start from two places."
Shen Xin is also not sure, because there are really not many works in this category that can be popular.
"Which two aspects?" Luo Zheng asked quickly.
"First, the perspective of the story. The protagonist does not need to use singers or idols to advance the story. Second, brain holes. You can add some fresh things to the comics. For example, the identity of the idol, or the background of the story... I'm sure to find content that makes the reader's eyes shine."
The first type can be a grown-up comic. The second type is probably "Backstreet Girl". Otherwise, it is the plot that appears in the online novel. After the end of the world, many industries need to rise, and the same is true for idols or entertainers. , You can use this as a background to create comics, roughly speaking, equivalent to old wine in a new bottle.
Shen Xin didn't say exactly how to do it. He also believed that Luo Zheng didn't want him to say too detailed.
Luo Zheng rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
The first point Shen Xin said, he also thought about it, but after discussing with Xu Jie, the possibility of surpassing "The King of Rock" is too low. As for the second point... it is indeed a direction of thinking.
No, even, many works can be expanded...
"Mr. Shen..." Luo Zheng opened his mouth slightly and stared at Shen Xin.
"Ok?"
"Thank you." Luo Zheng bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, I may have a problem with your attitude before, sorry..."
"what?"
Luo Zheng's words left Shen Xin confused. It seemed that he had not had a holiday with Luo Zheng, but after thinking about it for a moment, he also understood the reason.
"It's mediocre to not be jealous", this sentence should be put here, shouldn't it be appropriate?
At this annual meeting, Shen Xin can be regarded as gaining some gains, especially the cooperation with the "Cartoons Association". It is not that any cartoonist has such an opportunity.
After returning to the studio, Shen Xin told Wang Wenhong about the incident.
Wang Wenhong was also stunned for a while, and after reacting, he was overjoyed.
"This is really a good thing. Just imagine, everyone who studies at a comic training institution must study "Steel Refining" seriously. To a larger extent, it may even affect a group of people who are new to the comics industry." After Wang Wenhong was delighted, I soon calmed down~lightnovelpub.net~ But this matter is also troublesome, if the quality of the teaching materials is not good, it is likely to drag down the reputation of "Steel Refining". "
"Well, so, you have to be clear about what conditions we should mention." Shen Xin reminded.
Wang Wenhong made an "ok" gesture.
How much benefit the peripheral products can bring is not the focus of Shen Xin's consideration, but the content must be quality and quantity.
"Maybe... you may have to contact or even cooperate with the training institutions in District 11. During this time, you will spend more time. As for the editor of "", sister Yan will be responsible for the time being."
At the beginning, the reason why he insisted on asking Yan Fei to come over was for similar things.
The visit to the annual meeting also had a great impact on Xi Muhan. After she returned, she had a long conversation with Wu Xiaoli and Lu Ning, and her second work was also put on the agenda.
Since "The Gate of Destiny" will be serialized for more than half a year, during this period, Xi Muhan can also have enough time to discuss the new work with the two people.
In addition, Yu Chen also revealed in private the intention of the full-color version of "". The approximate date will be after the end of the full-color version of "DN", and the official publication time of the first volume should be next year.
These words made the assistants feel happy and joyful.
This annual meeting changed the atmosphere of the studio.
When Asai Hui returned to the studio, she was surprised to see other assistants working like chicken blood. After she understood the reason, she was eager to try.
"On "Shoun Leap", "" is entangled with "The Gate of Eternal Life", "The Age of Steam" and "The Strongest Pitcher", and we can't relax."
Hui Asai returned home once, and was quite clear about the situation of "" in District 11. Now is the time to compare it with other comics.
The confidence of the other assistants doubled, and she also worked harder.
