My Cartoonist Guide

After learning that ";DUNK" was over with 6 episodes, Otani China immediately got upset.

";DUNK" will end in the second half of the year, he also heard Yan Fei reminded him, but when a time is blurred, it always feels that the time will be far away, and it will not happen for a while. Once the time is determined, This is another situation-imminent.

Before he could eat, Otani China left the noodle shop and called Tachibana Sen.

Senator Tachibana just got on the subway home, and saw Otani Chinake's call. He was a little surprised. He couldn't get through the subway and could only hang up, but Otani Chinae called again.

There is no way, Tachibana can only send a text message to Qianmei Otani asking what happened.

"";DUNK" has six chapters to end."

"..."

Sentence Tachibana looked at this text message, his scalp numb, and just wanted to call back, only then did he remember that he was on the subway and could only hold his cell phone tightly.

As soon as he arrived at the next station, Senator Tachibana got out of the subway and called Chire Otani.

"what is the problem?"

"No, just now, Wang Wenhong called me and told me that ";DUNK" was over with 6 more episodes..."

"But... how can it be over like this?" Tachibana asked in return.

"Before, Yan Fei said that the second half of the year is over. It is estimated that now the name has come out, there should be 6 more words. There is a contract signed, that is, it cannot prevent the end of ";DUNK"." Otani Qianye explained patiently .

Tachibana wanted to swear, who would agree to such a boring condition. But then I also thought that if I didn't agree, I'm afraid "Young Leap" would not have the chance to sign ";DUNK".

"Well, what's the specific matter, let's talk about it tomorrow, today, I will contact "ComicFuture" first."

Hanging up the phone, Tachibana was worried again.

He said he was in contact with "ComicFuture", but he doesn't understand Chinese, how should he communicate?

In desperation, Tachibana had to call Wang Wenhong and asked him why.

After Wang Wenhong talked to Chinao Otani on the phone, he also thought that Gentry Tachibana would call. Now when he saw Gentry Tachibana's call, he and Yan Fei looked at each other and said "Senior Tachibana" before answering the phone. .

"I heard that ";DUNK" will end soon?"

Gentry Tachibana didn't have the time to talk politely with Wang Wenhong, so he was straight to the point.

"Yes, there are 6 more words."

"Why?" Gen Tachibana asked.

"No, Teacher Shen feels that there is nothing left to draw."

"The story of the second and third grades of Huadao can also be drawn. There are new characters, new plots... how can you say that there is nothing to draw? Xiangbei has not won the championship yet."

"But in this way, the story will become very bloated, and in order for the protagonist to face a stronger opponent, it is bound to attract more powerful players, but Chobei is already at the top of high school students, a more powerful player than him. , Means that there will be some unreasonable situations. Therefore, if you continue to paint, the story will collapse. Teacher Shen does not want to do this."

"But, can you still draw the national youth team game?"

"The background of ";DUNK" is high school basketball. Since the beginning of the writing of Mr. Shen, the National Youth Team has not been considered. If this troubles your society, I am sorry. Moreover, in Mr. Shen's view, it is a comic book. Integrity is more important. Therefore, it was decided to end after Chapter 6."

Wang Wenhong thought it out a long time ago.

Indeed, if you stand on the revenue of the comics, ";DUNK" can indeed continue to be drawn, but so far, ";DUNK" has the best degree of completion. Although ";DUNK" takes ikebana as the protagonist, Mu Gangxian and Shan Jing Shou are also important parts of this comic, as are Yuzhu and Mu Shenyi. But after the end of the national competition, it means the departure of this part of the people, which also means that ";DUNK" is no longer complete.

From this perspective, ";DUNK" ends here, it is indeed very appropriate.

In addition, from Wang Wenhong's position, because he is one of the closest people to Shen Xin, he also understands that Shen Xin spent a lot of energy in painting ";DUNK".

The painters of "Hire of Go", "Steel Refining" and "DN" are also very brilliant, but these three comics have some differences from ";DUNK". The first three have a more gorgeous style, while the style of ";DUNK" It's more realistic, with mostly large scenes and spreads, and a huge amount of space, which is placed on the game. Therefore, there is no such thing as being lazy.

If ";DUNK" can be finished in a very suitable place, then, in his opinion, it is also a good choice-at least the integrity of this classic can be guaranteed.

"But... is there really no room for maneuver?"

"At that time, "Steelmaking" was also a big fire. Teacher Shen didn't hesitate at the end, so I guess it's no different this time. Teacher Shen is working on the name of the last words." Wang Wenhong explained patiently.

"But... can you let me talk to Teacher Shen."

"It's okay, but there is a word, I want to remind the editor-in-chief Tachibana... If you insist too much, you may get froze with Teacher Shen. After all, you did us once in the animation matter. So, very There may not be a good chance... You know, now that the paper magazine goes downhill, we will have many considerations."

Said to be a reminder, in fact, Wang Wenhong was beating Tachibana Gentry.

At the beginning, Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong were not very happy due to the animation production of ";DUNK". This incident is still on the account, but it hasn't been opened yet.

The two parties are no longer in a deadlock. Whether Shen Xin's lower manga is still serialized on "Young Leap" is still unclear. If the two sides are unhappy again, the lower manga will basically miss "Young Leap".

Shen Tachibana rubbed his forehead, a little headache.

Of course he remembered that incident. Not only was Shen Xin unhappy, but also involved the senior management and "ComicFuture".

He can even be sure that even if Shen Xin's next comic is still serialized in "Young Leap", the contract between the two parties must be re-finalized.

He intentionally refused the end of ";DUNK", but Shen Xin didn’t necessarily listen to him. Moreover, the three comics serialized in "Shoun Leap", "Hire of Goss", "Stealing" and ";DUNK", each of them Sales are very high, so it's a good deal or not a good deal to have a relationship with Shen Xin?

One more point, what Wang Wenhong said is right, the paper magazines are indeed sluggish, and the situation of the paper magazines will probably get worse and worse in the future.

In this case, UU reading www. The weight of good works and good cartoonists on uukanshu.com will become more and more important, and there will be more platforms for cartoonists to choose from.

"Then..." Gentry Tachibana opened his mouth and gave up the direct conversation with Shen Xin. "When will there be the lower part of Teacher Shen's cartoon?"

"It may be fast, it may be slow."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Senator Tachibana immediately became energetic.

After all, Shen Xin has also had the experience of consecutively opening comics, is it possible to consecutively open the next comic?

"It's nothing. A few months after the end of ";DUNK", Mr. Shen will have a work featuring a cartoonist, but it is tentatively scheduled to be a monthly update. The real weekly magazine may be two or three years later. "

"what?"

The muscles on Tachibana's face twitched.

Monthly update, I'm afraid it can't be serialized on "Young Leap", right?
