Chapter 1152: 2 Questions
"How should I put it? The pressure time of cartoonists may be longer than that of illustrators, but if they can pass on the stories in their hearts to readers, the satisfaction and joy should also last longer?" Shen Xin laughed.
Illustrations have the advantages of illustrations, and comics have the characteristics of comics. Shen Xin also admits this, and, one thing to say, it is indeed easier for illustrators than cartoonists.
This kind of ease not only comes from the workload, but also because the duration of a comic is longer than that of an illustrator. Seconds have to discuss the name of the next chapter with the editor again.
Going round and round, there is never a moment of leisure.
If there is any motivation for cartoonists to do this, it is probably the cartoonist's love for comics, right?
Even if you don't sleep for several nights in a row, you have to finish the manuscript and switch to other jobs. A cartoonist probably doesn't have such great perseverance.
Several people chatted for a while, Yan Fei got up and checked the manga manuscript completed by his assistant, and Shen Xin also glanced at his studio.
Unknowingly, the chatting time of several people has been quite long.
Lu Yingxue also saw Shen Xin's thoughts, so she coughed lightly, "Teacher, actually, I have two questions, and I want to ask the teacher's opinion."
"Um?"
"That's right. I have a friend who is serialized on other websites, but she wants to contribute the next comic to "Comic Future", but she is afraid that she won't be able to adapt to "Comic Future". So, I want to ask the teacher, if I submit to "Comic Future" Comic Future”, what should I pay attention to?”
"What do I need to pay attention to?" Shen Xin didn't expect Lu Yingxue to ask, "Is it a male cartoonist or a female cartoonist?"
Lu Yingxue raised this question, and he could understand it. Before crossing, if he wanted to change stations, he would also have such considerations.
"Male cartoonists and female cartoonists have different creative directions." After thinking for a while, Shen Xin added.
"Female cartoonist." Lu Yingxue said.
"What is the relationship between that person and you?" Wang Wenhong was quite interested.
"Also... okay?" Lu Yingxue was a little embarrassed.
Wang Wenhong smiled and said nothing.
Shen Xin didn't want to embarrass Lu Yingxue anymore, so she took the initiative to take up the topic.
"Male cartoonists put more emphasis on the explosive power of rhythm. For ";DUNK", when the plot is at its climax, it will make readers feel very burning, even blood boiling. Female cartoonists are slightly weaker in this aspect, but their advantage is delicate emotions So, if you want to serialize in "Comic Future", you need to grasp this point. If you plan to draw royal manga, you must also pay attention to the expression of emotion."
There are also some female cartoonists who draw kingly manga, such as "Inuyasha", "Family Teacher", and even "Steel Alchemy", as well as "Soul of Chess" with Yumi Hota as the original work. When these stories express explosive force, there will be a kind of Incomplete feeling.
Compared with comics such as "Dragon Ball", "Saint Seiya", "jojo", and "Fist of the North Star", I always feel that it is a bit less "taste".
But the comics drawn by female manga artists are very delicate. The relationship between Inuyasha, Kagome and Kikyo, the brotherhood between Alphonse and Edward, and the relationship between Xiaoguang and Zuowei, who are both teachers and friends, are all very delicate. This is hard to see in the works of male cartoonists.
Including "Ghost. Slayer Blade", it is rumored that its author is also a female cartoonist, but it has not been confirmed yet, but Shen Xin is more inclined to be a female cartoonist, because the characteristics of this comic are more like it was written by a female cartoonist .
The fighting in this manga is not difficult to see in juvenile manga, but the emotions expressed in the manga far exceed other pillar manga.
If you read carefully, the family bond in this manga is obvious. The Tanjiro brothers and sisters, the Bushikawa brothers, the Butterfly Ninja sisters, the Xingjuro brothers, the Muichiro brothers, and even the villains, as well as the fallen girls and prostitutes. Brothers and sisters (although they are not real brothers and sisters), all reflect the relationship between family, but tired, the same Also longing for affection.
It is these bonds of family affection that make the characters in the comics look like real people, not villains on paper.
The operation of "Blade of Pillar Destroyer" also makes this comic with a sense of sadness, which complements the delicate emotions of the original work.
These characteristics are not available in the works of most male cartoonists.
If a female cartoonist wants to switch to a magazine like "Comic Future" that mainly targets young readers, while having the characteristics of young manga, feelings, including family affection, must be properly expressed.
Lu Yingxue nodded, "I see."
He didn't draw comics for a long time, and when he heard Shen Xin's explanation, he suddenly realized.
"Brother, why didn't you tell me this?" Xi Muhan looked puzzled.
"Do you still need me to tell you?" Shen Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and glanced at Yan Fei who was checking the draft, "Sister Yan is one of the top editors in China, she must know this, but she didn't tell you. Besides, it turns out that " The result of "Ding Shi" also shows that her judgment is correct."
Xi Muhan nodded slightly, and after hearing Shen Xin's explanation, he understood.
"By the way, your friend, what kind of comics do you want to create?" Wang Wenhong asked casually.
"Uh, it's Xianxia."
"What? Xianxia?" Wang Wenhong said in a broken voice.
"That's right, what's the problem?" Lu Yingxue asked suspiciously.
"There is no problem. It's just that the theme of Xianxia is relatively small, and there is already a book serialized in "Comic Future." Wang Wenhong replied.
Comics of the same type can easily influence each other.
"Really?" Shen Xin interjected.
"Mr. Shen, don't be so surprised? It's very amateurish. That Xianxia manga has been serialized for more than a month." Wang Wenhong couldn't laugh or cry.
"I really don't know." Shen Xin shook her head, "What's your name?"
"Xianyuan. It's Xiaoli's subordinate author."
"How about it?"
"A complete rookie. According to Wu Xiaoli, he seems to have served as an assistant to Teacher Wang Yunze, but his drawing skills are not very good. It is said that he is a cartoonist who has become a monk halfway. He originally studied history in college and changed his career after graduation."
"That's okay too!?" Lu Yingxue said in a low voice.
"So, a cartoonist is different from an illustrator, as long as he can express the story clearly, besides, he is just not good at drawing, but it's not bad."
In the 11th district, there are not no cartoonists who have switched careers to the circle of comics, so it is normal for cartoonists to change careers.
Moreover, cartoonists who have changed careers have a different perspective from ordinary cartoonists, and drawing cartoons may have its own characteristics.
"How's the grade?"
"It is said that it is not very good. After all, the genre is relatively small. If it is serialized in "Leap", there may be a market, right?"
"So that's how it is."
Lu Yingxue kept this matter in her heart, but said in her mouth: "Teacher, there is one more thing I want to ask you."
"Please say."
"What do you think of the studio?" Lu Yingxue said seriously.
