My Cartoonist Guide

This conversation with Qiu Qian gave Wei Mao a clearer understanding of his situation.

In short, almost no one can help him, and even few people can discuss this issue.

Wei Mao sat on the chair, raised his head and looked at the ceiling, but his mind turned quickly.

He currently has only two paths to go.

One is to pretend to know nothing.

But when he thought of so much money being swept away by Fan Yinmo, Wei Mao's heart was a little bit smooth.

It is not that he is unwilling to pay a portion of the money to Fan Yinmo. After all, Fan Yinmo has spent too much energy for him and "Full of Warm House", but the problem is that Fan Yinmo took too much money.

The second is to speak frankly with Fan Yinmo and speak out his thoughts.

No matter from which aspect, this is a friendly choice for both parties.

Of course, if he really chooses to be honest and honest, he must be prepared with both hands.

The two sides were able to sit down and negotiate quietly. The best outcome was that Wei Mao raised prices, and he continued to serialize.

Otherwise, it is the other extreme, the two sides are in a deadlock, and "Full of Warmth" ends.

This requires him to think a little bit when creating the name. A story can develop in two directions, which can continue to serialize and end the story.

If you want to do this, he needs to plan well.

And if there is no agreement, he must think of a new name and serialize it on other platforms.

After clarifying the relationship, Wei Mao took a deep breath, but he did not dare to relax at all.

The game with Fan Yinmo has just begun.

As for how to find the bifurcation between the comic series and the end, Wei Mao vaguely remembered that "Y’s" seemed to have a similar plot. At that time, he also thought that "Y’s" was about to end, and the story was only half told.

It seems that I really want to watch "Y’s" again.

After thinking about it, Wei Mao found the Doman.com app.

At that time, he subscribed to this comic with the crowd, and now it seems that it is really wise.

Wei Mao was full of energy and began to read "Y’s".

...

";DUNK" is still the hottest comic in the country. After the release of the 28th volume of the booklet, the single-week sales surpassed one million copies, far ahead of other domestic comics.

Shen Xin's daily work is also very monotonous. Drawing comics is what he spends the most time on. In addition, the news that Ye Hexu has a child also makes Shen Xin understand that he can't drag on like this anymore.

Therefore, if there is nothing else, he will choose to rest after the daily work is completed.

Xi Muhan is no longer as anxious as before. Although he considers name every day, he maintains a good mentality. According to Yan Fei, the name of Xi Muhan's latest comic has been re-created. It is estimated that he will read it after the first three episodes have been drawn.

This idea is actually good.

Chapter 1 is indeed possible to judge the potential of one. After all, the Internet also has three golden chapters, let alone comics. But if there is a three-character name, it is easier for Shen Xin to grasp the whole comic.

If the quality of the name Xi Muhan brought is good, even if there are some minor flaws, you can use it after discussion, otherwise, he can only make major changes.

At this moment, a guest from the studio suddenly came, and this guest was also unexpected by Shen Xin-Lu Yingxue.

Since Lu Yingxue did not make an appointment, she was led by Charlotte.

Considering that another's name has not yet been made public, it is not convenient for Shen Xin to talk to Charlotte too much. After sending Lu Yingxue to the studio, Xia Luo hurriedly left.

In her words, Magi is currently short of staff, and she has to go back and help.

As for what Magi is up to, Shen Xin is not hard to guess, the production of "Stone of Destiny 0" is definitely indispensable, and then it is a mobile game commissioned by Zhenyu Technology.

As a game company, magi must have experience in making mobile games.

On the earth, not only China’s game companies are good at making mobile games, but there are also some major game companies in District 11, such as SE, who hold major well-known IPs in their hands, but are keen on fried rice. At the same time, it is also a major mobile game manufacturer.

With the development of games, it is foreseeable that mobile games will become more and more important for game companies.

As for Lu Yingxue, of course he did not visit magi for no reason.

Shen Xin was only responsible for the vertical painting of "Stone of Destiny 0", and the original painting was in charge of other people. As an experienced game producer, Lu Yingxue definitely understands how important game graphics are to galgame.

In fact, before "The Devil's Family Education" was over, Magi had already contacted Lu Yingxue, and after the comics ended, Lu Yingxue also officially gave a positive answer.

After resting for two weeks, he participated in the production of "Stone of Destiny 0".

Because "Stones of Destiny 0" requires too many original paintings of the game, Lu Yingxue is more of a painting supervisor, checking the overall quality of the original manuscript and putting forward suggestions for revisions. In some key places, he will personally draw the " Color painting of "Stone of Destiny 0".

Visited Magi, submitted the drawing, and he asked to meet Shen Xin.

After Ji Yinxuan contacted Shen Xin, she asked Charlotte to send Lu Yingxue to Shen Xin's studio upstairs.

"Ms. Shen, it's been a long time." When Lu Yingxue saw Shen Xin, she said this from the heart.

The only occasion where two people have a chance to meet is the annual meeting of "ComicFuture", but at every annual meeting, Shen Xin is surrounded by many people. Even if Lu Yingxue has the opportunity to speak, it will only take about 5 minutes, which is definitely not comparable. It is convenient to make a special trip to the studio to visit Shen Xin.

"It's really been a long time since I saw it. Recently... Actually, I have been a little busy, and I didn't even have time to meet other cartoonists..." Shen Xin sighed, and led Lu Yingxue to the rest area of ​​the studio.

Xi Muhan took a bottle of soda for everyone, and then sat beside Shen Xin.

Lu Yingxue, like a student, took the soda water without unscrewing it, and put it directly on the coffee table.

He is very famous in the illustrator circle, but compared with Shen Xin, he is far behind.

"Teacher Lu, I read the Weibo you posted, saying that you will no longer create comics in the future, you really can put it down? Obviously the results of "The Devil's Family Education" are not bad." Wang Wenhong was puzzled.

"Spare me? My heart can't stand it." Lu Yingxue waved her hand quickly, "When I didn't draw cartoons, I always envied cartoonists. As long as they draw good works, there will be discussion. But illustrations are different. It is my favorite illustration, and it can only be discussed in a circle. In the past few years, after becoming a cartoonist, I suddenly discovered that cartoonists and illustrators are completely different professions."

"Of course. Illustrations emphasize technique, and comics emphasize story." Wang Wenhong said.

""The Devil's Family Education" has the original work, so I don't feel very strong in this aspect. It is the deadline that makes me feel pressure."

The others in the room immediately showed a clear expression.

Deadline, translated into Chinese, is the deadline for submission.

The contradiction between cartoonists and editors lies in this place.

If the cartoonist cannot complete the drawing on time, he must "open the skylight". This is very hurtful for the magazine, and the magazine must find a comic that can replace it.

In order to avoid this situation, the editor will do everything possible to let the cartoonist finish the manuscript.

Hiramaru Kazuya in "Dream Eater" often wanted to delay the manuscript, and Yoshida Yoshida, who served as its editor in charge, tried various ways to get Hiramaruichi to finish the manuscript before the deadline.

It is said that the prototype of Kazuya Hiramaru is the old thief. Both of them are manga geniuses. The first manga became a big hit. Both of them married a female manga artist. More importantly, both of them are masters of drafting.

As a responsible editor, unless due to force majeure, he will never allow cartoonists to delay manuscripts, and cartoonists cannot submit manuscripts on time due to lazy cancer, physical condition and many other reasons.

In short, the contradiction between the two has always existed.

There is no deadline for general web comics ~www.NovelMTL.com~, but "The Devil's Family Education" is a fist product for light reading, and there will definitely be people urged.

Lu Yingxue should have received "love" from the editor.

"Actually, deadlines are not the most difficult for me to accept. What I hate the most is the pressure from comic artists from all sides. And this pressure will exist from the beginning of the serialization until the end of the comic. These pressures are driven by readers. Those who have come here, have comic scores, have public opinion, and even readers discuss the plot, can find bugs from various places. Illustrations do not have these problems, as long as the quality of the original painting is good, there will not be too much criticism."

Shen Xin was silent.

Lu Yingxue's complaints are precisely the dilemma that cartoonists must face.

This pressure will always exist from the first chapter to the end. It is a pressure that lasts for a long time and cannot be released. As a single work is not as long as the serialization of comics, illustrators will indeed be much better in this regard.

If Lu Yingxue considers these two aspects, the difference between an illustrator and a cartoonist is really big.
