My Cartoonist Guide

"You don't need to apologize..."

　　 Uematsuno faced Miyamoto Hei and closed his eyes slowly.

　　It is strange to say that he always wanted to surpass ";DUNK" at first. When the little book came out, after knowing the detailed ranking and the number of votes, after a few hours of extreme loss, his heart gradually recovered.

　　 When Miyamoto Hira rushed back to Uematsuno's studio, he had already adjusted, but when Miyamoto Hira mentioned the matter again, his mood was still very depressed.

　　 "Actually, even the editor-in-chief did not expect the ranking this time. But the votes are very real. The editor-in-chief checked the number of votes personally, and there is nothing wrong." Miyamoto was somewhat guilty.

　　 He knows how much Uematsuno has paid for the 46-page serialization.

The workload is not as simple as 1+1=2. Just like a 40-page name, it cannot be simply separated from the middle to become two words, because a chapter in a comic is a small unit, and the relationship between each page will be close. , At the same time, it will also affect the layout of a sentence, such as how to arouse readers' emotions, how to design a fighting scene, and most importantly, how to design the suspense at the end.

　　 Therefore, the length of the space has increased, and Uematsuno has to redesign the name to ensure the fluency of the story and the relevance of the plot.

　　 For this, Uematsuno was busy for two weeks, but he still lost.

　　 "If...the magazine didn't design such a calendar for ";DUNK", ";DUNK" would not have won the "Gate of Eternal Life"." Miyamoto complained.

　　 "But "The Gate of Eternal Life" still has animations." Uematsuno sighed, "The advantages of animation are very big...but not better, just not better than...but why do I lose, I always have to know?"

"...Um..." Miyamoto hesitated for a while, seeing Uematsuno's look depressed, bit the bullet and said, "Teacher, the editor-in-chief said that many of the people who voted for "The Gate of Eternal Life" also gave "; "DUNK" voted."

"Huh?" Uematsuno looked at Miyamoto Hei, and was silent for three or four seconds, then shook his head, "No. Miyamoto, you should also know that this kind of thing cannot be unilateral. Readers of ";DUNK" There are also many people who voted for "The Gate of Eternal Life", so there are other reasons."

"No, teacher, you really don’t know. There are some readers who have never read comics before. They are attracted by ";DUNK" and don’t have deep feelings for "The Gate of Eternal Life". The postcards in this part also include "The Gate of Eternal Life" is really not much written on postcards." Miyamoto retorted.

"Huh?" Uematsuno was stunned. He stayed for more than ten seconds before laughing out loud, "I see...I didn't lose unjustly...Miyamoto, do you know? I didn't lose unjustly." The readers of "DUNK" completely cover the readers of "The Gate of Eternal Life". On the contrary, the readers of "The Gate of Eternal Life" cannot do it."

　　 Miyamoto opened his mouth flat, but couldn't refute it.

　　 The reader groups of the two comics are different.

Readers who like to read comics have a high probability of seeing these two comics at the same time, but those who have not been in contact with comics before may not have seen "The Gate of Eternal Life". As for readers who are exposed to comics because of ";DUNK" , And then read "The Gate of Eternal Life" again, this possibility is unlikely-"The Gate of Eternal Life" is a big problem for new readers.

　　 Internet cafes will provide free comics for those who need it to read, but those who work are not likely to stay in the Internet cafe for a long time.

　　 So, reading six or seventy volumes of comics in a short period of time is not so realistic. First, the time cost is high, and second, funds are not allowed.

　　 For these new readers, "The Gate of Eternal Life" is like a duckweed without roots, without the slightest foundation at all, at most just watching the excitement in peacetime, the cohesion is not as good as ";DUNK".

　　 As for the readers who have already escaped from the pit, but are brought back by ";DUNK"-aren’t they because they feel that "The Gate of Eternal Life" is boring?

　　 "I want to rest for a while. If possible, I would like to meet Mr. Shen." Uematsuno took a deep breath and looked at Miyamoto Hei.

　　 "What?" Miyamoto defecated and waved his hands again and again, "Resting? Going to see Teacher Shen? No!"

　　 "Why?" Uematsuno asked puzzledly.

"'Wang does not see the king', as the top two teachers in "Young Leap", you take the initiative to go to China to meet with Teacher Shen, and you are at a disadvantage in the competition with Teacher Shen, and this is only from your perspective. If it is from a commercial point of view, it will not work, not only because the sales of "Shoun Leap" will be affected, but also the production of animation. At present, the length of the comics of "Eternal Life Gate" can barely keep up with the production of animation. Progress, this is because the producer has extended the playback time of each episode. If the teacher takes a break, the animation will be affected."

　　 Animation production is not as simple as comics. Even if Uematsuno takes only two or three weeks of rest, it will completely disrupt the animation company's arrangements. Even the animation company may end with a certain plot as the end of this animation. Later, even if the comics are reissued, the animation company will not start the project again in a short period of time.

　　 This kind of behavior that can cause commercial losses, if it is not a last resort, such as physical reasons, otherwise, if the cartoonist can create, it is best to continue to create. Otherwise, the magazine society is difficult to operate.

Uematsuno also understood Miyamoto's difficulties and sighed, "That... forget it, I'm just worried that the quality of manga will decline significantly when creating comics in the current state, which is not necessarily a good thing for the magazine. What's more, 46 The words on the page really exhausted me... I might not be able to hold it physically."

　　 Miyamoto's face changed twice ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ his brows were furrowed and he was silent.

　　 The body of the cartoonist is also very important to the magazine, otherwise it will affect the subsequent creation of the cartoon.

Just when Uematsuno was about to give up, Miyamoto sighed, "Okay. I will propose to the magazine to let the animation company produce an original plot, but the specific operation depends on the animation company's arrangements. "

　　 "That's the best." Uematsuno nodded repeatedly, his expression relaxed a lot.

"As for meeting with Teacher Shen...I still do not recommend. I think Mr. Shen will come back to District 11 sooner or later, such as participating in annual meetings or magazine activities. By then, your encounter will be very natural and will not treat you or It will have a negative impact on Mr. Shen. Some bloggers or broadcasters who like to engage in gimmicks to attract readers especially like news that seems to be non-existent.” Miyamoto explained.

"Don't worry, I just said casually. Even if I go to China, I can't find Teacher Shen." Uematsuno smiled reluctantly, "But if I can have a chance to take a trip, it should be of great benefit to my future creations. , So, I beg you."

　　 Miyamoto nodded, "Do your best."
