My Cartoonist Guide

After Shen Xin's arm recovered roughly, he also began to formally draw and manuscript, but because he had a stomach to support, there was a strict limit on the length of work.

Xi Muhan personally "checked" this point.

At present, Shen Xin's condition is not serious and can be "rescued", but if he is not careful, he may be with him for a lifetime.

Even if Shen Xin doesn't care, Xi Muhan must take it seriously.

After the three assistants got the line draft drawn by Shen Xin, they also began to draw the original.

Almost every story in the follow-up plot of "Steel Refining" is more than 40 pages, and they need time to adapt.

Facts have proved that it is not impossible for three people to complete 40 pages within a week, but the time is really too tight, but after Zhang Ziyue joined, the workload of the three people has been reduced a lot, and the drawing speed has also been significantly accelerated.

However, there is still a big difference between the pen display and the real paper. The intuitive feeling is the feeling of a pen on the paper, which is different from the feeling of a pressure-sensitive pen on the display. The strength of the lines is not good. In addition, due to the different principles of the two, it is difficult to produce brushstrokes when painting with a pressure-sensitive pen.

For Zhang Ziyue, who paints with a dip pen all the year round, he does need some time to adapt, that is to say, after Zhang Ziyue is fully adapted, the efficiency of the studio will be improved again in the next period of time.

In comparison, Liu Ruoxing was better than Zhang Ziyue. She is very familiar with digital screens, and is much smoother than Zhang Ziyue in painting.

However, this still cannot hide the shortcomings of her weak basic skills.

Now that time is not tight, Shen Xin did not let Liu Ruoxing add to the drawing of the manuscript, but let him practice alone.

Liu Ruoxing is only 20 years old now, and his plasticity is still very strong. Once he develops a bad drawing habit, it will be too late to change it.

There is a saying that is well said, "sharpening the knife and not chopping wood by mistake", first lay the foundation and then talk about it.

Liu Ruoxing also understood what Shen Xin meant. He used a dipping pen to paint every day, and the intensity of his work was not weaker than that of others.

She has only one idea now, she must stay.

Wang Wenhong opened the door of the office, and the cool breeze from the air conditioner blew him, giving him a lot of energy. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, holding two books under his arm, passing by the busy Gao Hang and others, and boarded the second floor.

Shen Xin knew that Wang Wenhong came up, but did not look away from the display screen, still drawing line drafts, until Wang Wenhong walked to him, raised his head and asked: "How is it? Are there any gains?"

Wang Wenhong pulled a chair and put the book on the table.

"Actually, you should be able to guess, just come to dig someone." Wang Wenhong pulled out a piece of paper and wiped the sweat from his face.

Shen Xin pouted, "What did the people over there say?"

"I know you still have a contract with "ComicFuture", what can they say?" Wang Wenhong shrugged, "However, they are very interested in the next cooperation. Teacher Shen, you don't really want to work with these magazines. Sign the contract?"

A few days ago, Qian Sheng of Duoman.com asked Wang Wenhong for a cup of coffee. Within two days, the editor-in-chief of "MangaFly" also sent him an invitation to have a meal. As for the purpose, of course he wanted to He inquired about some news.

"It depends on the conditions."

"If you agree to the two conditions we said, are you really going to sign?"

"Sign, why not sign?" Shen Xin put down his pen and leaned back in his chair, "but you should also understand that I can't draw too much at the same time, at most one monthly and one weekly, otherwise, I can't hold it. "

"Yes." Wang Wenhong took a deep breath.

In fact, he also feels this way. Instead of creating too many low-quality comics, it is better to create one or two comics.

Shen Xin is in the current position, and the word "stable" is the most important. The reason why he can stand at the top of the domestic comics depends on the quality of the work.

Why can Shen Xin now make conditions to "ComicFuture"? After all, because of the precipitation of the two works "Steel Refining" and "Goss Soul", he has confidence.

Therefore, the performance of comics next week will not be comparable to "Steel Refining", at least in terms of word-of-mouth and sales, it must be one level ahead of other domestic cartoonists. Otherwise, other magazines will definitely lower their expectations of Shen Xin. At that time, Shen Xin had no capital to discuss conditions at all.

The operation of the entire studio relies on the two words "Shen Zheng". Once someone is approached or even surpassed, Shen Xin will be struggling to negotiate terms with other magazines.

Slow work and meticulous work, at most one month, one week, no more.

This is Wang Wenhong's bottom line.

"Zhou Geng stay in his hands?"

"Yeah." Shen Xin nodded, "The negotiation between me and "ComicFuture" is not over yet."

For Shen Xin, the best platform is "ComicFuture".

In the future, web comics may become popular, but paper comics will not disappear. On the contrary, they may become a sign of the quality of comics. Only when comics reach a certain level can they have a chance to be published.

Just like online novels on the earth, all works that can be published by regular publishing houses are all fine works.

Therefore, "ComicFuture" is definitely the first choice.

In addition, Shen Xin still has a small idea in his mind. Compared with "ComicFuture", Duoman.com is only slightly inferior. Next year's "Golden Paintbrush Award" will be the stage of voting and competition. The momentum is gradually rising. It is estimated that "ComicFuture" will also be affected.

If he jumps to Duoman.com and Ye Hexu's brain is hot to follow along, the domestic comics are likely to be dominated by one family.

Two big platforms compete ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in order to attract creators and give more discounts, so cartoonists can survive better. In the event that the balance is broken, a single platform will control the right to speak, and it will be the cartoonist who suffers.

He wanted a certain amount of creative freedom, but he couldn't turn other cartoonists' dining tables off because of this.

"If so, I understand..." Wang Wenhong rubbed his chin, "I will talk to them seriously."

Shen Xin nodded, fixed his gaze on the desktop, and saw that the two books Wang Wenhong had just placed were foreign language textbooks, one in Japanese and one in English.

"Brother Wang, why have you started to learn foreign languages?" Shen Xin smiled.

"Look at what you said." Wang Wenhong glared at Shen Xin, "wasn't there no time before? Of course I am busy now, but the environment is different and the problems we face are also different."

"Yeah, it makes sense. However, I can understand when you study Japanese, why did you pick up English again?"

"You don't know this, right? "Steel Refining" has already gained a lot of popularity in the U.S., and Europe is currently third and fourth. Maybe there will be "business" in the future." Wang Wenhong laughed.

Already popular in the West?

Shen Xin also froze for a moment.

According to his understanding, "Steelmaking" not only has a very high evaluation in the West, but also has a high degree of attention, and the praise is always among the top three.

Considering that the animation has only been released for about 1/3 and word of mouth is still brewing, it should not be the upper limit of "Steel Refining" at present.

"Steel Refining" is not sold in the United States and Europe as a separate book, and there is no animation. The reason why it is well known to Westerners is definitely inseparable from the D version.

Will "Steel Making" accidentally open overseas markets because of this?

Shen Xin leaned back in his chair and fell into long thought.
