My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 7 Plot and style

“Sister Yan, how about this newcomer named’Shen Xin’?” Xiaoli held a teacup and smiled at Yan Fu who entered the editing room.

Yan Wei looked at Xiaoli in an angry tone, “Do your own job.”

Xiaoli stuck her tongue out, and dialed a call casually. After speaking a few words, her expression eased a little.

After she hung up, Yan Fu said, “What’s wrong? It doesn’t seem to be a good thing.”

“The grades are not good. If you don’t work hard, you will probably be cut in the middle. I don’t know how long the comic will be able to survive.” Xiaoli shrugged her shoulders.

Yan Fu nodded slightly.

Works with poor grades must be cut in half. This is the rule of the comics industry.

After 　　 was cut, the cartoonists are not without everything, they can also receive the appropriate contract money from the magazine. However, if high-quality manuscripts cannot be submitted in time, the magazine has the right to terminate the contract and sweep the cartoonist out.

For a cartoonist, it is cruel to terminate the contract, but the survival of the fittest has always been the rule of nature. Even if Yan Fu feels unfair, she is helpless.

But, having said that, the manuscripts that Shen Xin took today are indeed of high quality. Even the most eye-catching division of “The Witch” was easily surpassed by “Formula of Love”.

I am looking forward to Shen Xin’s long comics more and more…

“By the way, Xiaoli…” Yan Fu suddenly remembered something.

“Huh?” Xiaoli picked up the small mirror and looked at her cheek.

“Have you read the book?” Yan Fu asked.

The little mirror almost fell from Xiaoli’s hand. She looked around in a panic and found that other people were busy with her own affairs. Then she calmed down and combed her hair. “Sister Yan, what are you talking about? I… How could I have seen those things?”

“So, you don’t know how well Chen Zijiao is?” Yan Fu asked.

“Of course… Sister Yan, it wasn’t me who said that the doujinshi painter, how many people use their real names? If it wasn’t for Wang Wenhong to leave contact information, Shen Xin wouldn’t write the name on the cover, right?” Xiaoli reminded Tao.

also.

Yan Fu nodded.

“However, gossip, just listen to it.” Xiaoli suddenly lowered her voice, “Do you know why Wang Wenhong fancy that kid?”

“do not know.”

“Painting work. Especially in the portrayal of women, it is very delicate. It is said that Wang Wenhong just looked at the cover and determined that this was the person he wanted.”

…It’s dirty.

Yan Fu knows the meaning of Xiaoli’s words, but it sounds a little weird.

Just then, a short, middle-aged man walked into the office.

“Let’s put down the work in his hands first-a meeting!” The middle-aged man patted his hands twice and turned to leave.

Other editors put down their work and walked out the door.

“The editor-in-chief seems very upset.” Yan Fu has been in “NewWorld” for half a year. She has never seen the editor-in-chief so anxious.

“It seems that “Dreamer” brings a lot of pressure.” Xiaoli bared her teeth and stood up from her seat.

Yan Fu also looked helpless, picked up the notepad, and followed Xiaoli out of the office.

…

Shen Xin returned home and put her name on the table.

Xi Muxun participated in the final sprint training of the school to prepare for the upcoming high school entrance examination. Even if Shen Xin is not happy, he will show his hand tonight.

just grabbed a handful of rice, suddenly remembered the smell of fried rice, and poured the rice back.

Cherish life, stay away from fried rice… or eat instant noodles?

The hot water is boiled, poured on the noodles, and then sealed with a notepad.

After 　　 did all this, Shen Xin finally had time to recheck the name.

“The two misunderstandings should be deleted, and it must be attractive… Uh… By the way, conflict! There are often conflicts in online novels. I don’t know if it will be appropriate to use them here. But if conflicts are really used, there must be a pavement. Otherwise, it will be too abrupt. In this way, in front of the comics, you should set a foreshadowing, the second or third misunderstanding, temporarily delete…”

took a sip, instant noodles, Shen Xin picked up a pencil, quickly made notes, and then modified the name.

There are many similarities between this world and the earth, but there are also many differences. The most prominent difference is on the Internet.

Take the cartoonist industry as an example. Although the digital tablet has already appeared, it is because the price is relatively high, and the initial investment is also relatively large, and because the technology is not mature, the pen pressure of the digital tablet and the real pen and paper, There is still a certain gap, so Shen Xin still uses traditional tools to paint.

At noon the next day, Shen Xin met with Yan Fu again and gave Yan Fu the name.

“80 points.”

Yan Fu scored a more intuitive score after watching it three times.

“What are the shortcomings?” Shen Xin questioned.

“The storyboard is ok, and the composition is ok. Even if it is printed and published, it is completely okay. But the relationship between the foreshadowing in the front and the conflict in the back is rather blunt-and, again, your’potential’ is not fully squeezed out. ”

Squeeze?

Shen Xin has a black line, can you say something else?

ahem, can’t think about crooked places.

“Can you be more specific?” Shen Xin asked in a low voice.

Yan Fu took a sip of coffee and said softly: “Please combine your style and plot.”

“My style?” Shen Xin asked.

“Yes, the preparation and conflict are a bit blunt, but if you add elements that you are good at, maybe this comic can become a classic.” Yan Fu stared at Shen Xin, and his bright eyes revealed unconcealed expressions towards him. Expectation.

“Excuse me, what element am I good at?” Shen Xin asked surprised.

“Fat ci.”

, you are good at fat ci!

Shen Xin was very dissatisfied with Yan Fu’s “slander” on him. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

“In “The Witch”, your portrayal of the fat ci and even the body is quite good. This is a bonus item. I have already told you last time, but as a result, you still don’t listen.” Yan Fu emphasized again.

“That’s the illustration on “The Pink Circle”, I’m just imitating it.” Shen Xin explained quickly.

“These are not important…” Yan Fu patted the table with both hands, ignoring Shen Xin’s protest, “I only care about the result, even if it is a short story, I must beat others. Unless… you are not confident in yourself!”

“What’s a joke?” Shen Xin’s violent temper also came up, “Isn’t it just fat ci? What’s the problem? But give me three or four days… I will definitely straighten out all the plots.”

“This is no problem… By the way, I want to remind you that you are still a newcomer, so if you want to submit this cartoon to the meeting, you must submit the original manuscript. Is it enough for one and a half months?” Yan Fu Asked.

“Original? Reluctantly?” Shen Xin frowned.

The short stories are not long throughout, and there are no long comics that consume energy.

However, because there is no assistant to help, all the content, including name, hooking, blacking, whitening, pasting URLs, drawing line frames, and even wiping pencil handwriting… all these operations must be done by yourself-speaking of it, really It’s time consuming.

But as a newcomer, you must draw the original manuscript in advance. After all, before this, everyone’s understanding of the newcomer is a piece of white paper, so you must draw the manuscript so that the editor can see your painter in order to get their approval.

When we met this time, we decided on the general direction for the name of the comic. What Shen Xin will do next is to adjust the name again in the shortest possible time.
