Chapter Seven Plot and Style

"Sister Yan, how is this newcomer named 'Shen Xin'?" Xiaoli held a teacup and looked at Yan Fang who walked into the editing room with a smile.

Yan Yan looked at Xiao Li angrily, "Do your job well."

Xiaoli stuck out her tongue, made a phone call casually, and after saying a few words, her expression softened a little.

After she hung up the phone, Yan Yu said, "What's wrong? It doesn't look like a good thing."

"The grades are not good. If you don't work hard, you will probably be cut in half. I don't know how long that manga can 'live on its last breath'." Xiaoli shrugged her shoulders.

Yan Yan nodded slightly.

Works with poor grades will be cut in half. This is the rule of the comics industry.

After being cut in half, the cartoonists are not left with nothing, they can also receive an appropriate contract money from the magazine. However, if high-quality manuscripts cannot be submitted in time, the magazine has the right to terminate the contract and expel the cartoonist.

For cartoonists, terminating the contract is a very cruel thing, but survival of the fittest has always been the principle of nature, even if Yan Tan feels it is unfair, there is nothing she can do to help.

However, having said that, the manuscripts that Shen Xin brought over today are indeed of high quality, and even the most eye-catching subdivisions of "The Witch" are easily surpassed by "Equation of Love".

I am looking forward to Shen Xin's long comics more and more...

"By the way, Xiao Li..." Yan Kun suddenly remembered something.

"Huh?" Xiaoli picked up the small mirror and took a look at her cheeks.

"Have you read the book?" Yan Yan asked.

The small mirror almost fell from Xiaoli's hand. She looked around in a panic and found that everyone else was busy with their own affairs. Then she calmed down and combed her hair, "Sister Yan, what are you talking about? I... ...How could I possibly have seen those things?"

"So, you don't know what level Chen Zijiao is?" Yan Yan asked.

"Of course... Sister Yan, I didn't say, how many of the doujinshi painters use their real names? If it wasn't for leaving Wang Wenhong's contact information, Shen Xin wouldn't have written his name on the cover, would he?" Xiaoli reminded.

Too.

Yan Yan nodded.

"However, gossip, just listen to it." Xiaoli suddenly lowered her voice, "Do you know why Wang Wenhong took a fancy to that kid?"

"do not know."

"Painter. Especially in the depiction of women, it is very delicate. It is said that Wang Wenhong was sure that this was the person he wanted just by looking at the cover."

... so dirty.

Yan Fang understood the meaning of Xiaoli's words, but it sounded a bit weird.

Just then, a chunky middle-aged man walked into the office.

"Let's all put down what we're doing first - start a meeting!" The middle-aged man clapped his hands twice, turned and left.

The other editors put down their work one after another and walked out the door.

"The editor-in-chief seems very upset." Yan Kun has been in "New World" for half a year, and she has never seen the editor-in-chief so anxious.

"It seems that "Dreamer" brings a lot of pressure." Xiaoli gritted her teeth and stood up from her seat.

Yan Yan also looked helpless, picked up the notepad, and followed Xiaoli out of the office.

...

Shen Xin returned home and put the name on the table.

Xi Muzhen participated in the school's final sprint training, preparing for the upcoming high school entrance examination. Even if Shen Xin is not happy, he will show Xiaolu tonight.

I just grabbed a handful of rice, and suddenly remembered the taste of fried rice, and poured the rice back.

Cherish life, stay away from fried rice... Or eat instant noodles?

Boil the hot water, pour it on the instant noodles, and press the seal with a notepad.

After doing all this, Shen Xin finally had time to check the name again.

"Delete two misunderstandings, but also attract people... um... yes,

conflict! There are often conflicts in online novels. I don't know if it will be appropriate to use it here. But if you really use conflict, there must be a foreshadowing in front of it, otherwise it will appear too abrupt. In this way, in the front of the manga, we should set up a foreshadowing, and temporarily delete the second or third misunderstanding..."

After taking a sip and eating the instant noodles, Shen Xin picked up a pencil, quickly took notes, and then modified the name.

The world and the earth have many similarities, but there are also many differences. The most prominent difference is on the Internet.

Take the cartoonist industry as an example. Although digital boards have appeared, because of the relatively high price, and the relatively large initial investment, and because the technology is not yet mature, the pen pressure of the digital board and real pen and paper, There is still a certain gap, so Shen Xin still uses traditional tools to paint.

At noon the next day, Shen Xin met Yan Qu again, and gave Yan Qu his name.

"80 points."

After reading it three times, Yan Fang gave a more intuitive score.

"What's the lack?" Shen Xin asked doubtfully.

"The storyboard is ok, the composition is ok, even if it is printed and published, there is no problem at all. But the relationship between the foreshadowing in the front and the conflict in the back is relatively blunt-and, again, your 'potential' has not been fully squeezed out. .”

press?

Shen Xin has black lines all over her head, can you put it another way?

Ahem, don't think in the wrong direction.

"Can you be more specific?" Shen Xin asked in a low voice.

Yan Yan took a sip of coffee and said softly, "Please combine your style with the plot."

"My style?" Shen Xin asked.

"That's right, the foreshadowing and conflicts are a bit blunt, but if you add elements that you are good at, maybe this comic can become a classic." Yan Fang stared at Shen Xin, and in his bright eyes, there was an unabashed love for him. expectations.

"Excuse me, what element am I good at?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.

"Fat Ci."

Bah, bah, bah, you are good at fat ci!

Shen Xin was very dissatisfied with Yan Fang's "slander" towards him.

"In "The Witch", your portrayal of the fat ci and even the nude body is very good. This is a bonus item. I told you about it last time, but you still didn't listen." Yan Yu emphasized again.

"That's the illustration on "Pink Circle", I'm just imitating it." Shen Xin quickly explained.

"These are not important..." Yan Yan clapped his hands on the table, ignoring Shen Xin's protest, "I only care about the result, even if it's a short story, it must be better than others. Unless...you don't have confidence in yourself!"

"Are you kidding me?" Shen Xin's violent temper also came up, "Isn't it Fat Ci? What's the problem? But give me three or four days... I will definitely straighten out all the plots."

"That's okay... By the way, I have something to remind you. You are still a newcomer, so if you want to submit this comic to the meeting, you must submit the original manuscript. Is one and a half months enough?" Yan Qu asked.

"Original manuscript? Reluctantly?" Shen Xin frowned.

The length of the short story is not long, and there is no long comic to waste energy.

However, because there is no assistant to help, all the content, including name, outline, black, white, paste URL, draw a wireframe, and even erase pencil marks... these operations have to be done by yourself—speaking of it, Really time consuming.

But as a newcomer, you must draw the original manuscript in advance. After all, before this, everyone's understanding of the newcomer is a blank sheet of paper, so you must draw the original manuscript and let the editors see your painters in order to get their approval.

During this meeting, the general direction for the name of the comic was finalized. The next thing Shen Xin has to do is to make adjustments to the name again in the shortest possible time.
