My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 1214



Chapter 1208 Passion and theme

“That’s OK?” Xi Muhan blinked.

“Why not?” Shen Xin asked back, “Xiaohan, cough cough, you have to know that when readers read the comics, they will automatically be substituted for the protagonist. If there is a person who is too powerful in the comics, it is easy to frustrate the readers, and more importantly On the point, the character based on me appears in Man·Tao, and has little effect. Let’s put it this way, Man·Tao seems to be a comic about manga artists, but it is the same as the existing ones in District 11. There are obvious differences in the types of comics.

Xi Muhan swallowed and stared at Shen Xin intently. Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong also raised their spirits.

Since the editor has contacted many cartoonists and reviewed many comics, he is very experienced in judging the direction of comics. Sometimes, it will even improve the performance of a comic, which is very helpful, but innovation is not an editor. It’s time for them to perfect their brains, but they want to “create something out of nothing” and create comics that have never been done before. It is indeed very difficult.

“I haven’t read those comics, but after listening to your discussion, should they be the comics created by combining love, funny and cartoonists?” Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

“That’s right.” Xi Muhan nodded.

In order to create this type of work, she read a lot of comics of the same type in 11 districts.

“Man · Dao in my imagination” is a kingly manga.” Shen Xin said calmly.

“The Kingly Way?”

Wang Wenhong was startled, Yan Fei did not say anything, but frowned.

Wang Dao pays attention to hard work, friendship, and victory, but no matter what the theme of the king road comics, there will be another element-blood.

Let the readers feel excited after reading it.

Although a cartoonist has a halo, in the final analysis, he can’t get rid of his “house” attribute. After all, every cartoonist has to create cartoons in his studio, and he has to stay in the house no matter how badly he works. It’s very full. Apart from eating and sleeping, it is common not to go out for a few weeks.

That’s it, the life of a standard otaku / otaku can create the atmosphere of a kingly manga?

No matter what other people think, Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei don’t believe it very much, but Xi Muhan listened with relish.

She is an original, which is true, but her heart is on Shen Xin, and Shen Xin’s suggestion must prevail.

“Wait a minute.”

Shen Xin saw the reaction of the three people, knowing that some things must be stated clearly in advance, otherwise, even if Xi Muhan is great, he will not be able to create the original work he wants.

Shen Xin got up, picked up the pad and pen, and opened a note-taking software.

“Whether a comic is a kingly way or not has nothing to do with the subject matter. For a simple example, do you think the spirit of chess is a kingly way cartoon?” Shen Xin wrote the words “the spirit of chess” on the pad.

“I think so.”

Wang Wenhong nodded.

“I think it is true, but why does it look different compared to comics like “, Steel Refining”, even Dragon King, and Gate of Eternal Life? The attention is not enough.” Shen Xin then asked.

“Subject…because Go is originally a niche subject.” Yan Fei explained.

“That’s right. Kingly Manga and the subject matter are niche or not, there is no inevitable connection. Similarly, Man·Tao” can also be a Kingly Manga.”

“However, cartoonists are very nerdy, how can they be related to passion?”

“Brother Wang, if you ask this sentence, it seems unprofessional. When you were my editor, did you ever get excited? For example, when you serialized “God of Chess”, you competed with “The Legend of the Dragon King” and “The Hunting Abyss”. Yes, during the serialization of “Steel Refining”, vying for popularity with “Age of Gods”, how did you feel at those times?” Shen Xin asked.

“Ah-competition!” Wang Wenhong slapped his hands, “I know, it’s a competition to distinguish between highs and lows.” In Xiangbei, there are winners and winners. Similarly, as long as there are competitions in other kingly comics, they will definitely attract people’s attention. This is true for fighting, and so is competition. Whether it is racing, four-wheel drive, cooking, or Go, as long as there is competition, there will be various plots, such as turning defeat into victory, defeating defeat… These can swell the appetite of readers.”

Wang Wenhong remembered that that kind of joy is really no less than the 90th minute lore of a football match.

“Yes, it’s competition.” Shen Xin nodded heavily.

I have to say that Oba Thrush is really a ghost in terms of creation.

“DN” came to prominence, only 12 volumes of comics, sold 20 to 30 million copies, became the ceiling of evil comics, “Dream Eater” is based on cartoonists, but the big field thrush has taken a different approach, not with funny or Being in love is not a traditional teaching comic, but by establishing a strong enemy, it sets the tone for the whole story.

The new wife Eiji is the tallest in Majo, just like Ta Yaliang is to Shindo Hikaru, and it is as dazzling as a twin star.

Therefore, in terms of competition, DN also has some elements of kingly comics.

Shen Xin remembered that when he first knew the comic about Dream Eater, he thought it was a fantasy fighting comic, because there was a comic called Soul Eater and another comic called Mary the Dream Eater. So, I didn’t care much, and even less interested when I learned that it was telling the story of a cartoonist.

Take the cartoonist as the subject? How exciting can it be?

In the end, there were two reasons why he decided to read this manga. First, the manga was painted by Takeshi Obata, and second, the original work of this manga was called Oba Shimu.

It was because of the trust in these two cartoonists that he opened the comics of “Dream Eater”, and as a result, he verified the “True Fragrance” theorem again-before that, he had never thought that he would read a book all night. Comics related to cartoonists.

Dream Eater really did it.

In fact, Shen Xin has always believed that this comic is an underestimated comic, and its quality is better than its achievements, even though the volume of “Dream Eater” is close to one million copies Shen Xin was struggling to write on the pad, and the three people gathered around Shen Xin, nodding their heads.

“There is also the content involved… Regarding this point, I want to briefly say that when you are writing a script, you have to show the plot of the comics created by the manga artist. This is the focus, not a simple ranking. For example, I When “Drawing the Soul of the Game”, Shiqi Shiqi was invited to serve as a consultant. When you created “Ding Shi”, you often went to the classroom where you taught cooking. These experiences are the specific expressions of Man·Tao, and can even be said to be the core.

“One more thing, I have always cared about it. For example, if you want to describe the protagonist’s efforts, you have to constantly think of new names for the protagonist. A name is an outline, and you have to think about different plots for different cartoonists. These are also outlines. The entire book must have at least more than 30 outlines. Therefore, this comic has to examine the original creative ability. Please be full of energy. This comic is not that easy to create.”

Shen Xin saw that Xi Muhan’s expression became more and more serious, and patted her hand lightly, “Don’t worry, wait until” is finished, and I will participate in it. We have to polish a classic, no matter what, it’s all Enough to compete with other popular comics. Brother Wang and Sister Yan, please this time.”

Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong looked solemn and nodded, while Xi Muhan put the other hand on the back of his hand, “Brother, as long as I have you, I am not afraid of anything. This time, it is the same.”

“That’s fine. We have plenty of time. Don’t be nervous. I believe that as long as we work hard together, there should be no problem.” Shen Xin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong also nodded heavily. “Next, the script needs to be revised, I bother you two.”
