My Cartoonist Guide

After Lu Yingxue left, Xi Muhan suddenly became interested in the topic of the studio.

Her motivation for contacting comics is very simple, because Shen Xin is also drawing comics. In order to have a common topic with Shen Xin, she became the original cartoonist.

After that, she met Yan Fei and Wu Xiaoli one after another, especially when Wu Xiaoli was the chief editor. Because Shen Xin had already established a studio, Xi Muhan had little contact with outside affairs. Even if Wang Wenhong had mentioned it, she did not. Too concerned.

This time she heard the conversation between Shen Xin and Lu Yingxue, she suddenly realized that she knew very little about the studio, and after returning home, she was still thinking about it.

After taking a bath, Shen Xin saw Xi Muhan dragging his cheeks, as if thinking about something, so he became curious. He took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, turned his head and asked, "What's on your mind?"

"No, I'm just thinking, why do cartoonists participate in such a studio? Their interests are obviously damaged." Xi Muhan was puzzled.

"This should be considered from two aspects." Shen Xin drank and sat on the sofa, "Do you remember the Zuo Yuan incident?"

"Well. How could I forget." Xi Muhan nodded.

"He was forced to look like that, is it really just the reason for the D version? The D version did hurt the creator a lot, but for Zuo Yuan, it was the last...a brick that was pressed on him." Shen Xin wanted to talk about straw, but then he thought that comparing D version to straw is indeed a bit inappropriate. "For cartoonists or writers, if you want to create satisfactory cartoons, you need a stable environment. In the final analysis, it is. Can cartoonists have a stable income and stable food, clothing, housing and transportation. The emergence of studios, to a certain extent, is beneficial to the environment of cartoonists. To ensure that they can survive, some cartoonists may choose to cooperate with studios."

Xi Muhan suddenly realized, "It turned out to be like this."

Shen Xin thought for a while. Xi Muhan’s experience is actually similar to his. From the beginning of writing, she was able to serialize in magazines and get a lot of money. Now, her basic light has sold 5 or 6 million copies, but She still switched careers to be a cartoonist. Both "Ding Shi" and "Passing Through Girl" have achieved good results. The small book ranks in the first five years, and the volume of "Ding Shi" is close to one million copies. "Passing through Girl" also has an average score of 800,000 volumes.

From this point of view, Xi Muhan has no experience of being on the street, let alone worrying about manuscript fees.

"Furthermore, the idea of ​​a comic is provided by the studio, and the cartoonist is more like the chief writer, who draws the original manuscript according to the requirements of the studio. This relationship is more like a company and an employee, not the work itself. A possibility exists in the studio."

"So that's it." Xi Muhan nodded slightly, "It's just a studio, with so many details."

These are not details? Moreover, for the comics industry, the studio is not a piece of content that can be taken in one stroke, at least, in Shen Xin's view.

"You seem to be interested in these comic studios too." Shen Xin smiled.

"I am also a cartoonist now, and of course I am interested in things in the circle. Especially, I have never learned about this type of studio."

Shen Xin stretched, "It's time to rest."

"Oh, wait a minute."

Xi Muhan hurriedly ran back to the bedroom and changed his bathrobe, while Shen Xin yawned and flipped through Weibo with his mobile phone.

He is not a person who often turns over Weibo, he only looks at him when he has nothing to do.

In his free time, Shen Xin sometimes flips through comics and sometimes reads Weibo. This time, Shen Xin chose Weibo.

Weibo is actually a test of people’s judgment, especially some bad media, in order to create gimmicks, some specious reports will be mixed in the news, and over time, these bad media will often be slapped in the face. .

Usually, there will be a period of uncertainty before the truth comes out. Bad media fully attracts readers' attention, but after the truth comes out, the plot reverses, and these media hype it a second time.

Therefore, Shen Xin doesn't care too much about the news released by the media.

After about ten minutes, Shen Xin also felt bored and was about to turn off his mobile phone, but on the page that was just displayed, there was a message that attracted some attention.

"Yunhai No. 1 Middle School reached the final of the high school basketball game."

"Ah...what's going on? Today is not April Fool's Day, right?"

When Shen Xin saw this news for the first time, he doubted the authenticity of Weibo.

He knew exactly what level of Yunhai No. 1 Middle School he was, and at best he made it into the quarter-finals of the national competition.

finals? Isn't it a provincial qualifier?

But the date is wrong.

Shen Xin's tiredness disappeared immediately, searching for relevant news, and then confirming the authenticity of this Weibo.

He also read the comments of some experts and knew some of the reasons.

First of all, after Yunhai No. 1 Middle School graduated from An Yuan, Zhai Yang began to design team basketball. After two years of polishing, the players have a high understanding of each other. Compared with An Yuan, the star of the team is less personal. Scoring ability, but the team's tandem work is very good, and also has the ability to shoot three-pointers.

Because of An Yuan's outstanding performance in the country, Yunhai No. 1 Middle School was also labeled as a "Basketball School" and attracted many high-quality students.

Although these players are not as talented as An Yuan, their overall quality and strength are more than one grade better than two years ago.

In addition to the schedule, Yunhai No. 1 Middle School almost avoided the top four teams.

The only team that had a high voice and was in the same half as Yunhai No. 1 Middle School was eliminated because of carelessness. In the semi-finals, players from the High School Affiliated to Yantai University suffered two injuries in the first serve, which also paved the way for them to defend their title. Full of shadows.

Almost by chance, Yunhai No. 1 High School entered the final.

But in any case, Yunhai No. 1 Middle School can make it to the finals, which is of great benefit to the school and the basketball team, and it saves a lot of publicity expenses.

Thinking of this, Shen Xin smiled involuntarily.

"Brother~www.wuxiaspot.com~What are you thinking?" Xi Muhan came to the living room wearing a bathrobe, and couldn't help asking when she saw Shen Xin with a smirk.

"Oh, cough cough... Xiao Han, the basketball team of Yunhai No. 1 Middle School has entered the national final."

"What?" Xi Muhan didn't quite believe it, and asked, "Brother, I read a lot, you can't lie to me."

"Is it interesting to lie to you? The final two days later... I hope Yunhai No. 1 will have the last laugh."

"Brother, if Yunhai wins the championship, will you let Xiangbei also enter the final?"

"Xiaohan...youth is always imperfect. Therefore, ";DUNK" should be over, and it must be over." Shen Xin explained.

Xi Muhan lowered his mouth, "Brother...I think you don't want to keep serializing ";DUNK", so you speed up the rhythm of the comics."

Shen Xin had a black line, and Inoue only drew so many, what can he do?
