Chapter 1134: Two Cartoonists

The interview ended with Shen Xin's answer, and after that, the photos that will be used in the interview draft.

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

Li Huashen asked Xi Muhan if she wanted to take a picture with Shen Xin too.

Xi Muhan was a little hot-eyed, but still politely refused.

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

Later, Tachibana presented Shen Xin with the commemorative book of "Youth Lea" for 60 years, and asked Kotani Chime to accompany Shen Xin and Xi Muhan to visit the relevant departments of "Youth Lea" magazine and briefly introduce the magazine. The operation of the agency, as well as the signing process.

"i future" imitates "Youth Lea" in many ways, it is generally similar, but there are slight differences in specific details, such as the selection and training of newcomers.

"Young Lea" rarely has big-name authors jumping to other places. This point is not so absolute in "i future". For example, Shen Xin was poached by Shang Haozhi, and later, Tong Yuan poached Wang Yunze.

Xi Muhan was very interested, and also mentioned some things related to the serialization meeting, such as the selection of works that were cut in half.

"Usually, it is based on the sales of small books or single volumes, but it is not absolute. "Young Lea" is a comprehensive juvenile magazine. It must cover most themes, such as sports, love and passion for middle school students, and for reasoning. Reasoning comics for fans, children's comics for children... If there is only one comic of this subject, then this comic is relatively closed." China Xiaotani explained.

Shen Xin nodded again and again, he understood what China Kotani said.

In order to attract more readers, magazines are bound to publish comics of different themes as much as possible.

Just like in "Dream Eater", the highest sincerity and Akito Takagi created a manga called "Run!" "Dafa Dan Dou", the score hovered at the 10th place. During the serialization period, the editor-in-charge Gang Pu once thought that this manga would be cut in half, but because of the scarcity of themes, it was on the verge of it.

"How many comics to cut in half actually depends on the quantity and quality of new comics. If there is only one book eligible for serialization, only one book will be cut in half. If there are four books, four books will be cut in half."

"What if there are 10 copies?" Xi Muhan interjected.

"Then we will discuss again and select the 4 best comics. Those comics that were not 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 "i future", but the next serial meeting will also have a new work, so there will be a situation where the newly submitted manga is of better quality and that 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 group and has creative experience, once the climax comes, it is likely to turn over. And... If a cartoonist who has made great contributions is cut off casually, the old author will be disappointed."

"But... this method is not friendly to new writers, right? Elimination at the end is meant to be based on performance, right? It's not fair to newcomers to be kept after being cut in half." Xi Muhan questioned.

"The old author and the editor are acquaintances. From a human point of view, it is indeed easier for the editor to take care of the old author. What's more, the new author will also become the old author. They are also eager to have this 'right'." Shen Xin continued It's over.

Xi Muhan opened his mouth slightly and sighed again.

Newcomers and old authors give way ahead of time, but when these people become old authors, they can get more resources.

The "position" is different, and the things to consider are also different.

When the group returned to the editorial office and bid farewell to Tachibana, Uematsuno was also preparing to leave.

"Mr. Shen, if you don't wait until noon, I'll take you back." Li Huashen stood up.

"No need. I've already troubled the editor-in-chief today, so I won't bother the editor-in-chief when I get back. We're leaving Tokyo tomorrow. Let's take a look around today, shall we?"

Seeing what Shen Xin said, Tachibana couldn't insist anymore, and sent Shen Xin and his party and Uematsuno into the elevator, and then turned back to the editorial department to transcribe the interview content.

Out of the building, Shen Xin was about to say goodbye to Uematsuno, but the other party stopped him.

"It's noon soon, why don't we have a meal first?"

"ha?"

When Yan Fei translated Uematsuno's words, Shen Xin thought she had heard it wrong.

Uematsuno looked tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and in this state, it was time to rest quickly.

"Ms. Uematsu, why don't you go back and rest first?"

"It doesn't matter, this is nonsense, but you can't drink coffee, otherwise you won't be able to sleep... There is a very good ramen restaurant nearby. I invite Teacher Shen." Uematsuno said with a smile.

It's hard to be polite, and besides, it would be nice if someone took them to taste the delicious food in District 11.

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

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

Everyone ordered a bowl of ramen and sat down around an empty table.

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

"I'm also looking forward to a private chat with Uematsu-sensei."

"You've made me suffer."

Uematsuno sighed, but in exchange Shen Xin's head was full of question marks.

"In the middle and late stages of "Steel Refining", the 40 pages of each chapter suppressed "The Gate of Eternal Life" for several months, and "la duk" is now in the same situation [only "d" is slightly better, no " The Gate of Eternal Life will have an impact." Uematsuno shook his head helplessly.

Shen Xin laughed awkwardly.

As the ceiling of evil comics, if "d" is serialized in "Young Lea", it can still challenge "The Gate of Eternal Life". There is no doubt about it." Yes, "d" is serialized in comics, and there is no comparison between the two comics possible.

"Now that "la duk" is getting better, would Uematsu-sensei want to compare it again?"

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

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

Seeing that no one spoke, Uematsuno chuckled, "My goal is to serialize "Gate of Eternal Life" until after "La Duk" is over. By then, "Gate of Eternal Life" will still be number one."

you win……

Shen Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "la duk" was about to end after the match between Xiangbei and Shangong, how could it delay the end of "Gate of Eternal Life"?

"Teacher Uematsu, why do you insist on finishing "Gate of Eternal Life" after "La Duk"?" Shen Xin asked curiously.

"This goes back to the last question in the interview. There are newcomers in "Shounen Lea", but there are no newcomers who can carry the banner of "Shounen Lea"." Uematsuno said seriously.

Shen Xin felt admiration for Uematsuno immediately after hearing Yan Fei's translation.

In order to wait for the newcomers to grow up, Shen Xin can't extend the length of the work.

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

Second, he didn't need to do this. Time was tight, but he still had a lot of works to paint.

But from Uematsuno's point of view, Shen Xin can understand Uematsuno's choice.

"Gate of Eternal Life" has been serialized for 19 years, which consumed too much energy of Uematsuno and made him feel uncomfortable≮After this manga is over, Uematsuno is likely to close his pen, at least he will not draw any more novels.

In this case, Uematsuno definitely wanted to play the role of "Gate of Eternal Life" as much as possible. Novel My Cartoonist Strategy Latest Chapter Chapter 113 Chapter 4 Two cartoonists website:
