Chapter 1106 The Tired Uematsuno

"You don't have to apologize..."

Uematsuno faced Miyamoto Hei and slowly closed his eyes.

Strange to say, he always wanted to surpass ";DUNK" at first, but when the book came out and he knew the detailed ranking and the number of votes, after a few hours of extreme loss, his heart gradually recovered.

When Miyamoto rushed back to Uematsuno's studio, he had already adjusted, but when Miyamoto brought up this matter again, he still felt very depressed.

"Actually, the editor-in-chief didn't expect this ranking. But the votes are very real. The editor-in-chief checked the votes himself, and there is nothing wrong with it." Miyamoto Ping felt somewhat guilty.

He knew very well how much Uematsuno paid for the 46-page serialization.

The workload is not as simple as 1+1=2, just like a 40-page name, it cannot be simply separated from the middle to become two chapters, because a chapter in a comic is a small unit, and the relationship between each page will be close , At the same time, it will also affect the layout of a chapter, such as how to mobilize readers' emotions, how to design fighting scenes, and most importantly, how to design the suspense at the end.

Therefore, the length has increased, and Uematsuno has to redesign the name to ensure the fluency of the story and the relevance of the plot.

For this remark, Uematsuno was busy for two weeks, but he still lost.

"If...the magazine hadn't designed such a calendar for ";DUNK", ";DUNK" probably wouldn't have won "The Gate of Eternal Life"." Miyamoto complained.

"But "Gate of Eternal Life" still has animation." Uematsuno sighed, "Animation has a great advantage...it can't be compared, it just can't be compared...but why I lost, I have to know, right?"

"...Uh..." Miyamoto hesitated for a while, seeing Uematsuno's dejected look, he said bravely, "Teacher, the editor-in-chief said that many of the people who voted for "Gate of Eternal Life" also voted for "; DUNK" voted."

"Ah?" Uematsuno looked at Miyamoto Hei, and was silent for three or four seconds, then shook his head, "No. Miyamoto, you should also know that this kind of thing cannot be unilateral. Readers of ";DUNK" Among them, there are also many votes for "Gate of Eternal Life", so there are other reasons."

"No, teacher, you really don't know. Some readers have never read comics before. They are attracted by ";DUNK", and they don't have deep feelings for "Gate of Eternal Life". "Gate of Eternal Life" is really not written on postcards." Miyamoto retorted.

"Huh?" Uematsuno was stunned,

After staying for more than ten seconds, he laughed, "I know... I didn't lose wrongly... Miyamoto, do you know? I didn't lose wrongly. The readers of ";DUNK" completely covered "Eternal Life" The readers of "The Gate of Eternal Life", on the contrary, "The Gate of Eternal Life" cannot."

Miyamoto opened his mouth, but couldn't refute.

The readership of the two comics is different.

Readers who like to read comics have a high probability of reading these two comics at the same time, but those who have never been exposed to comics before may not necessarily read "Gate of Eternal Life". As for readers who came into contact with comics because of ";DUNK" , and then follow up the "Gate of Eternal Life", this possibility is unlikely - "Gate of Eternal Life" is very long, which is a big problem for new readers.

Internet cafes will provide free comics for those who need them to read, but it is impossible for people who are working to stay in Internet cafes for a long time.

Therefore, it is not so realistic to read sixty or seventy volumes of comics in a short period of time. First, the time cost is high, and second, the funds do not allow it.

For these new readers, "The Gate of Eternal Life" is like a rootless duckweed, without the slightest foundation at all.

As for the readers who said they had escaped from the pit, but were pulled back by ";DUNK" - didn't they escape from the pit because they felt that "The Gate of Eternal Life" was no longer interesting?

"I want to rest for a while, and if possible, I want to meet Teacher Shen." Uematsuno took a deep breath and looked at Miyamoto Hei.

"What?" Miyamoto flattered his face and waved his hands again and again, "Rest? Still want to see Mr. Shen? No way!"

"Why?" Uematsuno asked puzzled.

"'The king doesn't see the king', as the top two in "Young Leap", teacher, you took the initiative to go to Huaxia to meet Teacher Shen, and you were at a disadvantage in the competition with Teacher Shen, and this is only from your point of view. If it is from a commercial point of view, it is even worse, not only because the sales of "Young Leap" will be affected, but also the production of animation. At present, the length of the manga of "Gate of Eternal Life" can barely keep up with the production of animation Progress, this is because the producers stretched the playback time of each episode. If the teacher takes a break, the animation will be affected."

The production of animation is not as simple as that of manga. Even if Uematsuno only rests for two or three weeks, it will completely disrupt the arrangement of the animation company. Even, the animation company may end the animation with the end of a certain plot. In the future, even if the manga is republished, the animation company will not start the project again in a short time.

This kind of behavior that will cause commercial losses, if it is not a last resort, such as physical reasons, otherwise, if the cartoonist can create, it is best to continue to create. Otherwise, the magazine society would be difficult to operate.

Uematsuno also understood Miyamoto's difficulties, and sighed, "Then...forget it, I'm just worried that the quality of manga creation in the current state will decline significantly, which may not be a good thing for the magazine. What's more, 46 What Ye said really exhausted me...my body might not be able to handle it either."

Miyamoto's face changed twice, his brows were furrowed, and he remained silent.

The body of a cartoonist is also very important to a magazine, otherwise, it will affect the subsequent creation of comics.

Just when Uematsuno was about to give up, Miyamoto Hei sighed, "Okay. I will propose to the magazine to let the animation company produce an original plot, but how to do it depends on the arrangement of the animation company. "

"This is the best." Uematsuno nodded again and again, and his expression eased a lot.

"As for meeting Mr. Shen... I still don't recommend it. I think Mr. Shen will come to District 11 sooner or later, such as to participate in the annual meeting or magazine activities. At that time, your meeting will be very natural. It will have a negative impact on Mr. Shen. Some bloggers or broadcasters who like to make gimmicks to attract readers, especially like specious news." Miyamoto Hei explained.

"Don't worry, I just said casually just now, even if I go to Huaxia, I can't find Mr. Shen." Uematsuno forced a smile, "However, if I have the opportunity to take a trip, it should be of great benefit to my future creations , so, please."

Miyamoto nodded, "Do your best."
