The interview ended with Shen Xin's answer. After that, the photos used in the interview draft were taken.

A single photo of Shen Xin, a single photo of Uematsuno, and a group photo of the two.

Tachibana Shen asked Xi Muhan if she wanted to take a photo with Shen Xin.

Xi Muhan was a little jealous, but still politely refused.

This is an interview between Shen Xin and Uematsuno. She has nothing to do with "Young Lea". She appears in a magazine and is a bit nondescript.

Later, Tachibana gave Shen Xin a memorial book for the 60th anniversary of "Shounen Lea", and asked Otani Qianna to accompany Shen Xin and Xi Muhan to visit the relevant departments of "Shounen Lea" magazine and briefly introduced the magazine. The operation of the company and the contracting process.

There are many places in "ifuture" that imitate "Young Lea", which are similar in general, but slightly different in details, such as the selection and training of newcomers.

Few big-name authors of "Shounen Lea" have moved elsewhere. This is not so absolute in "ifuture". For example, Shen Xin was poached by Shang Haozhi. Later, Tong Yuan poached Wang Yunze.

Xi Muhan was very interested, and also mentioned some things related to the serial conference, such as the selection of works in the middle.

"Usually it is based on the sales of small books or single-line books, but it is not absolute. "Youth Lea" is a comprehensive juvenile magazine. It has most of the themes, such as sports, love and blood for middle school students, and for reasoning. Fan’s reasoning comics, children’s comics aimed at children... If there is only one comic on the subject, then this comic is relatively closed.” Otani China explained.

Shen Xin nodded again and again, he understood Otani Chinya's statement better.

In order to attract more readers, the magazine will inevitably publish comics of different themes as much as possible.

Just like in "Dream Eater", Sincere Supreme and Takagi Akito created a comic called "Run!" "Dafa Dandou", the score was hovering at 10th place. During the serialization period, the editor in charge Gangpu once thought that this comic had a half-cut grip, but because of the scarcity of the subject matter, it was on the verge of falling.

"Cut a few comics in half, in fact, according to the quantity and quality of the new comics, $Guo only has one serialization qualification, so if you only cut one copy in $Guo has 4 copies, you cut 4 copies in half."

"What if there are 10 books?" Xi Muhan interrupted.

"Then discuss again and select the 4 best comics ∏ some comics that have not been selected but have potential. The editor in charge will tell the cartoonist to make minor revisions to prepare for the next serialization meeting."

This is similar to "ifuture", but there will be new works in the next serialization meeting, so there will be a situation where the newly submitted comics are of better quality, and the revised work is eliminated again.

"Also, if you are an old author, there will indeed be some preferential treatment. Considering that the old author has a certain readership and creative experience, he will probably turn over as soon as the climax comes. Also... if you have a magazine The cartoonists who have contributed are casually cut down, and the old authors will be chilled."

"But... this method is not friendly to new authors? The final elimination was originally based on grades, right? It is not fair to the newcomers to be cut down but stayed." Xi Muhan questioned.

"Old authors and editors are acquaintances. From the perspective of human relations, editors will indeed be easier to take care of old authors, and that is, new authors will also become old authors, and they are also eager to have this'right'." Shen Xin received After a word.

Xi Muhan opened his mouth slightly and sighed again.

Newcomers and old authors gave way in advance, but when these people become old authors, they can get more resources.

Different "locations" have different considerations.

When the group returned to the editorial department to bid farewell to Gen Tachibana, Uematsuno also prepared to leave.

"Ms. Shen, if you don't wait until noon, I will send you back." Tachibana Shen stood up.

"No. I'm already very troublesome to the editor-in-chief today, so I won't bother the editor-in-chief anymore. ∫ We will leave Tokyo tomorrow, and look around today?"

Seeing that Shen Xin said this, Tachibana was no longer able to insist, and sent Shen Xin and his party into the elevator with Uematsuno, and then turned back to the editorial department to transcribe the interview.

After leaving the building, Shen Xin was about to bid farewell to Uematsuno, but the other party stopped him.

"It's noon, or else, have a meal first?"

"what?"

When Yan Fei translated Uematsuno's words, Shen Xin thought he had misheard.

Uematsuno looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot. In this state, he should rest quickly.

"Ms. Uematsu, should you go back and rest first?"

"It doesn't matter, it's a bullshit, but you can't drink coffee, otherwise you can't sleep... There is a ramen restaurant nearby that is very good, I will ask Mr. Shen." Uematsuno smiled.

The hospitality is difficult, besides, if someone takes them to taste the delicacy of District 11, it would be great.

The ramen restaurant is in a small alley full of people.

Five people waited for nearly 10 minutes before a table became vacant.

Each ordered a bowl of ramen and sat around the empty table.

"Teacher Shen, I have found a chance to chat with you." Uematsuno touched his nose and smiled.

"I also look forward to chatting with Uematsu-sensei alone."

"You hurt me."

Uematsuno sighed, but Shen Xin was full of question marks.

"In the middle and late stages of "Steel Refining", the 40 pages of each chapter are overwhelming "The Gate of Eternal Life" for several months. This is the situation in "laduk" now [just "d" is slightly better, but it is not correct for "Eternal Life". "The Door" has an impact." Uematsuno shook his head helplessly.

Shen Xin laughed in embarrassment.

As the ceiling of evil manga, if "d" is serialized in "Shounen Lea", it can still challenge "The Gate of Eternal Life", this is undoubtedly, "d" is serialized in the comics, the two comics will have no comparison. may.

"Now that "laduk" is getting better, would you like to compare it again?"

"Guess, what is my goal?" Uematsuno did not answer, but instead asked another question.

When Yan Fei translated this sentence, she was at a loss.

Seeing no one was speaking, Uematsuno laughed lightly, "My goal is to serialize "The Gate of Eternal Life" after the end of "Laduk". By then, "The Gate of Eternal Life" will still be number one."

you win……

Shen Xin can't laugh or cry. "Laduk" will end after the match between Xiangbei and Shangong is over. How can we delay the end of "The Gate of Eternal Life"?

"Ms. Uematsu, why do you insist on ending "The Gate of Eternal Life" after "Laduk" is over?" Shen Xin asked curiously.

"This goes back to the last question in the interview. There are newcomers in "Shounen Lea"~www.NovelMTL.com~ But there is no newcomer who can carry the banner of "Shounen Lea"." Uematsuno said seriously.

After Shen Xin heard Yan Fei's translation, he immediately admired Uematsuno.

In order to wait for the newcomers to grow up, and to extend the length of the work, Shen Xin cannot do this.

First, the length of the work can fluctuate within a certain range, but if it exceeds this length, it will easily collapse. This is irresponsible to the readers and the work.

Secondly, he didn't need to do this either. Time is tight, but he still has a lot of works that he hasn't painted.

But from the perspective of Uematsuno, Shen Xin can understand Uematsuno's choice.

"The Gate of Eternal Life" has been serialized for 19 years, which has consumed too much energy for Uematsuno and made his body uncomfortable. After this manga is over, Uematsuno is likely to close the pen, at least not to draw long stories.

In this case, Uematsuno definitely wants to play the role of "The Gate of Eternal Life" as much as possible. Novel My Cartoonist Guide The latest chapter No. 113th Chapter 4 Two cartoonists URL: https://
