Chapter 1133 Interview

Xi Muhan looked left and right, looking like a curious baby. ★ Www.sLzwww New Ideas Chinese Network★

Shen Xin thinks that she has visited magazine offices very rarely, but she has also been to "New World" and "ibsp;Future".

In fact, the editorial departments are all similar, nothing more than the size.

Xi Muhan has been to the editorial department less often than Shen Xin, Shen Xin is not even sure whether she has been to the editorial department of "ibsp;Future".

So when she came to the editorial office of Shonen Leap, she was curious about all the places.

The four followed China Kotani into the editorial office, and the editors in the room raised their heads in unison and looked at the four of them.

Shen Xin waved and greeted these editors, and the editors nodded slightly.

Tachibana stood up, and when he walked to Miyamoto Heira's table, he tapped on the table, "Contact Uematsu-sensei again, please be faster."

Miyamoto nodded and picked up the landline.

Tachibana walked quickly to the entrance of the editorial department, shook hands with Shen Xin, and said, "Mr. Shen, this is not a place to talk, let's go to the next door first?"

With that said, he led the way forward and brought the four of them to the next room.

This room has a simple set of sofa and coffee table, and a bookshelf filled with comics is placed against the wall.

There is no dust in the whole room, and it can be seen that people often come to this room.

Lihuashen signaled Shen Xin to wait for a while, and went out to pour tea by herself, while Shen Xin stood up, went to the bookshelf, and looked at it roughly.

The comics on this bookshelf are not necessarily hits, and Shen Xin has never even heard of some comics, but as a magazine, "Youth Leap" does have the responsibility to collect the published comics.

Of course, on the scale of "Shounen Leap", these comics should only be the tip of the iceberg of "Shounen Leap" collection.

With the rise of digital platforms, the collection of comics is not limited to single volumes. It can even be said that compared with paper books, web comics also have their own advantages. In the future, it may be more convenient to save drawings with pictures.

From beginning to end, Shen Xin,

After browsing through the titles on the bookshelf, Tachibana placed four cups of tea on the coffee table, "Wait a minute, Mr. Uematsu has arrived, and Miyamoto is picking him up."

"En." After Shen Xin sat down, she took a sip of tea, "Wait a minute, what question is the editor going to ask?"

"I won't ask too many difficult questions. Part of it is about the work itself, and part of it is related to your experience." Tachibana took out the recording pen, "We don't have time to use a pen or computer to record the two teachers' words. To answer, you can only take notes with the recording first, and then reorganize. It may involve some more personal things, such as hobbies. The readers in District 11 are just reading the works of the teacher, but they have never contacted the teacher. Therefore, this interview can also be regarded as letting readers know more about the teacher.”

Shen Xin nodded, Tachibana was right. It is also necessary to draw in the relationship between the author and the reader and let the reader know the author better.

While speaking, the door was knocked lightly, Shen Xin raised her head and saw two people standing at the door.

When she came to the editorial office just now, Shen Xin had seen Miyamoto Ping, so she focused on the person behind Miyamoto.

The man was of medium build, about the same size as Shen Xin, but he was not fat. Maybe it was because of the cold weather, or maybe it was his personal habit. He was wearing a dark gray beret with deep sunken eye sockets. Filled with blood, the whole person is a little tired.

Maybe it was a bit hasty to come, the man also had stubble on his chin and cheeks.

Shen Xin remembered that China Kotani once said that Uematsuno stayed up all night in order to catch up with time.

Seeing Uematsuno now proves that Kotani's words are true.

Uematsuno greeted Tachibana-sensei first, then shook hands with Shen Xin enthusiastically, took off the scarf, and said to Miyamoto Hirao: "Mr. Miyamoto, can you give me a cup of black coffee? I'm afraid I'll be sleepy later. gone."

"Okay. I'm going to..."

"Bring the camera too." Tachibana turned his head and added.

Miyamoto nodded and left the room.

"I'm sorry... I came in a hurry today and took up everyone's time." Uematsuno put his hands on his knees, bowed deeply, and apologized to the others.

"It's fine with us, but you may look a little tired when you take a photo with Mr. Shen later..." Li Huashen said very euphemistically.

Uematsuno waved his hands and laughed out loud: "Haha, it's not a big deal. I'm already older than Mr. Shen, so I should look old. If I'm younger than Mr. Shen, wouldn't I be a monster?"

After hearing Wang Wenhong's translation, Shen Xin's favorability towards Uematsuno also increased a lot.

Humans really care about what other people think.

For some bad comments or remarks, Shen Xin might forget about them, but no one would hate a person like Uematsuno who can relax.

Miyamoto brought a cup of coffee, put the camera on the coffee table, and then exited the room.

"You two, shall we start the interview?" Tachibana turned on the recorder and started interviewing Shen Xin and Uematsuno.

Xi Muhan came here this time mainly to visit "Youth Leap", but Tachibana also mentioned some things she didn't know in this interview, for example, when drawing "Soul of Chess", she had a deep relationship with professional chess players Even though he still doesn't know how to play Go until now, he really worked hard to draw Go well at that time. The match between Aguang and Gao Yongxia was originally set to end with Gao Yongxia's victory. I went to watch the match between Zhenxi and Park Yongtai, and changed the ending temporarily, so that Xiaoguang won.

If it weren't for this interview, it would be difficult for others to know about these things, except for Wang Wenhong, who was the editor in charge of Shen Xin at the time.

During the interview, I also asked about some things related to Uematsuno, such as the evaluation of Shen Xin, and my opinion on "; DUNK". How is the progress of The Door.

"Uh... This question is difficult to answer... After all, when creating, new ideas often emerge. From the current point of view, the progress of the story should be nearly 80%."

"Uh... didn't you become 7 a few years ago?" It was the first time Tachibana knew the answer, but he was a little relieved when he heard Uematsuno say that.

If what Uematsuno said is true, then "Gate of Eternal Life" should be serialized for another 5 years, which is good news for "Shounen Leap".

"Yes, but when the character moves by itself, the length is often out of control, and I am also very entangled." Uematsuno spread his hands, with a helpless expression on his face.

When Shen Xin heard Uematsuno's words, she smiled without saying a word, but she agreed with Uematsuno's words in her heart.

Unless the outline is drawn early and the comics are created strictly according to the outline, it is easy to increase the length.

"One Piece" was originally only intended to be serialized for 5 years. Unexpectedly, 20 years have passed and it is still being serialized. I don't know if it can break through 30 years. It is said that the editor-in-chief of "Jump" is already discussing the 30th anniversary of "One Piece".

At the end of the interview, Tachibana mentioned a question that even Shen Xin hadn't expected.

"When "Smelting Steel" was serialized, something happened. I think it was a big thing, because you almost had an accident at that time, can you talk about that thing?"

"Uh...Actually, I don't really want to talk about that matter, after all, another cartoonist is involved. If I talk about this matter without the other party's permission, it will make him involved in public opinion, so I'd better How about another question?" Shen Xin shook her head.

After that incident, Zuo Yuan regained his strength and created a series of good comics. People who have had that kind of experience will indeed feel unforgettable, but they don't want to remember.

Originally, everyone had forgotten about that incident, and Shen Xin didn't want Zuo Yuan to come back into everyone's sight.

"Sorry." Tachibana quickly apologized. He originally wanted to use this incident to let readers know Shen Xin better, but he forgot that it also involved another person.

Since this matter does not work, it can only be changed to another question.

"So...it should be very difficult for a newcomer to become a manga artist, right? How do you think the newcomer can overcome this difficult period?" Tachibana asked a new question, but this question is also closely related to the previous question contact.

Why did Zuo Yuan choose to jump off the building? On the surface, it is forced by the D version, but the deeper reason is that the cartoonist is not a stable job. This is especially true for cartoonists who have just stepped into the comic circle.

"If you ask me this way, it's hard for me to answer, after all, I have never had such an experience." Shen Xin was very embarrassed.

Since there is no experience, there is no experience.

"..." Li Huashen clicked his tongue, feeling that the question he raised was really stupid.

"So, whether my suggestion or opinion is good, it is very unrepresentative. But comics are a commercial creation after all. If a cartoonist holds the idea of ​​'I want to draw a comic that satisfies me', it is not No, but readers are the ones who pay for comics, and if they can’t make readers happy, cartoonists will often pay the price. Feelings may be important to cartoonists, but they have limited value to readers. Readers spend money, not for Look at the feelings of cartoonists.

"So, newcomers should put down their dignity. Being an assistant to a cartoonist is not a bad experience. As a newcomer, don't listen to advice, because I know that some newcomers invite others to evaluate, but the other party really points out the shortcomings. They will become angry. They don’t really want to know the shortcomings of the work, but they want to be satisfied after being praised.”

Shen Xin didn't have much contact with cartoonists, but he was an Internet author before time travel, so he knew exactly what it was like to be a newcomer.

Obviously I was wrong, but when others mentioned it, it was hard to accept it in my heart.

"Any industry is not very friendly to newcomers. Due to the unstable nature of cartoonists, this profession has the characteristics of 'gambling'. Many people cannot use their works to support the rest of their lives. This also makes cartoonists in some Time is stuck in a difficult situation. It is really difficult for a newcomer to become famous in one step. In addition to his own efforts, he also needs a certain environment provided by the platform."

Shen Xin finally gave an answer.

After hearing Wang Wenhong's translation, Uematsuno stroked his beard and fell into thinking.
