Chapter 1168: Wine Bottle and Wine

After a week of hard waiting, Wu Xiaoli won the small book ranking again.

A little better than last time.

No. 13.

For Xianyuan, this achievement still has not changed the situation that it may be cut in half.

This time, even Chi Yue was not calm anymore. He clearly felt the pressure from cutting in half—the performance of this manga was not only related to him, but also had some connection with Xiao Ji, because Xiao Ji had just worked for him. Assistant, you can't lose your job as soon as you get a job, right?

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Wu Xiaoli took Xianyuan's name, ran to Shen Xin's studio, and handed the name to Yan Fei.

"My good sister, you must help me this time." Wu Xiaoli clasped her hands together, showing a begging look.

"Go, go, where is the coolness, where to stay. This is your author, not Yan Fei's. Why should she read it for you?" Wang Wenhong grinned, as if to throw Wu Xiaoli out.

"You just want to go out? The three of us are women. Is it appropriate for you to stay here as an old man?" Wu Xiaoli did not want to be outdone.

"Tch, are you envious? There's no way, this is my office, you can't drive me away." Wang Wenhong was triumphant.

"Then I'll tell Teacher Shen that you chat during work." Wu Xiaoli gave Wang Wenhong a hard look.

Wang Wenhong immediately glanced at Shen Xin, but saw him painting at his desk in his office, obviously not paying attention to the situation here.

"Ahem, I'm not afraid of you, Xiaohan is still here?" Wang Wenhong pulled Xi Muhan out.

"ah?"

Xi Muhan was taken aback for a moment, she didn't understand why the argument between the two involved her.

There must be a reason for the lack of results in comics.

Take Xianyuan as an example, Chi Yue's poor artistry is one reason, and the other is the atmosphere of the story.

"Too serious will cause readers to read very boring. Readers like to read comics that are lighter or more passionate. More serious comics like this belong to the slower ones."

"Then change the style?"

"You stupid,

Can the comic style change? This thing collapses as soon as the story changes. "Wang Wenhong said unabashedly.

Wu Xiaoli glanced at Wang Wenhong with white eyes, but she didn't refute. She knew what Wang Wenhong said was true.

"Selling points, at least every episode should have a selling point? I think Xianyuan, including the name of the latest episode, seems to be deliberately suppressing the rhythm." Yan Fei took advantage of this time to flip through the name twice.

Yan Fei will watch every issue of comic future, so she is very clear about Xianyuan's shortcomings.

The advantages of Xianyuan are obvious. Since Chiyue originally studied history, it can construct a world with a strong sense of substitution, but the shortcomings are also very prominent. Of course, the artist is a minus item, but it has the greatest impact on a comic. , has always been not a painter, but a plot-whether readers will find it interesting.

This kind of fun is not necessarily to make readers happy, but to make readers have a sense of expectation.

Xi Muhan lay on the table, resting his chin with his hands, watching Yan Fei and Wu Xiaoli with interest, as if they were performing an interesting show.

When Wang Wenhong saw Xi Muhan, he was also a little curious, and said in confusion: "Xiaohan, you haven't learned much about new works recently, so you gave up, right?"

"I'm looking for 'bottle'." Xi Muhan said with a smile.

"ha?"

"Brother Xin said that he compared a work, manga, or manga to a bottle of wine. Different types of manga are different types of wine. Some wine bottles are old wine bottles, that is, old wine in old bottles; It is a new wine bottle, that is, old wine in a new bottle. But no matter what kind of wine bottle, the raw materials of the wine are similar, and the difference lies in the production process of the wine.

"In other words, wine is the story of comics, including the classic plots that often appear in comics. The bottle is the carrier of comics. In what form is the story presented in the reader's field of vision. Brother Xin also gave examples, chess soul and sm dunk is two different 'bottles', one is Go and the other is basketball, but the 'wine' inside has similarities, for example, both are based on hard work, the protagonist's growth is accompanied by sweat, the protagonist's Both companions and rivals are charming, and the healthy rivalry between the characters will keep the reader's blood boiling. In short, everything you can find in sports can be found in comics.

"I have read a lot of comics, and I have seen some classic plots and routines, but there is no bottle for them. Now there are some signs, but I am not sure yet." Xi Muhan explained.

Wu Xiaoli stared at Xi Muhan with wide eyes.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Wu Xiaoli staring at her like that, Xi Muhan panicked, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Of course not." Wu Xiaoli shook her head, "I just thought that the problem of Xianyuan lies in the 'wine'. Because Chiyue is a 'half-way monk', many plots in the comics may not be understood."

When many people create works, they seem to want to get rid of the classic plots and routines, so as to make their comics look different. As everyone knows, many people's confident works are precisely the routines that he himself criticized. If you don’t draw such routines, you must at least know what routines are there, right?

From Wu Xiaoli's point of view, Chiyue's biggest weakness is that he has only worked as Wang Yunze's assistant for more than a year since he has not been exposed to comics for a long time, so he came to create comics. Occasionally a few wonderful short comics come out, more based on instinct than skill.

Once there is no inspiration and the skills are not familiar, the quality of the manga will drop.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Xianyuan is in trouble.

Wu Xiaoli was overjoyed, packed up her name, and bid farewell to Yan Fei, Wang Wenhong and Xi Muhan.

"Don't you want the previous 'bottle'?" Wang Wenhong asked on the way back after sending Wu Xiaoli away.

"That kind of cartoons are hard to catch people's eyes." Xi Muhan shook his head, "Especially, with Brother Xin's level, drawing those cartoons is really aggrieved."

"Then what subject are you going to paint?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"Stupid, Xiaohan's attitude is so obvious now, you can't even notice it?" Yan Fei looked at Wang Wenhong coldly, and pushed open the door of the studio.

Wang Wenhong followed in, and then glanced at Xi Muhan who was following behind him, and an idea flashed in his mind, "Hey, Xiaohan, didn't you say that you want to use cartoonists as the theme?"

"What's wrong? So surprised?" Xi Muhan was taken aback.

"It's not very difficult. No one in China will use cartoonists as their subject matter." Wang Wenhong scratched his head, "Who will read it? Who are your target readers?"

Wang Wenhong had a big head.

He felt that Xi Muhan's "wine bottle" should have been found, but what about the "wine"?

If comics can really come out, it should be "new wine in new bottles", right?

Xi Muhan scratched his head, "Aren't I sure about this just now? Especially when Fan Yinmo's incident broke out, it feels quite interesting."

"It's interesting but really difficult to operate." Wang Wenhong rubbed his forehead.

"We are all editors, and we are familiar with cartoonists. It's been a long time, and we can always come up with a suitable name, right? The big deal, is it okay to draw the experience of Mr. Shen?" Yan Fei was very happy. interested in.

"Huh? Will it be too obvious?"

"The creation of the work itself is based on life and higher than life. What are you obviously afraid of?" Yan Fei is not worried. "However, this type of comics should pay attention to reality. We need to collect more typical events."

"Recently, is there anything more typical than Fan Yinmo's studio incident?" Wang Wenhong asked rhetorically.

"Hey, isn't the problem now that Fan Yinmo hasn't moved at all?" Xi Muhan sighed, she kind of wants to eat this melon, but maybe she won't be able to.

"That's not necessarily the case." Wang Wenhong shook his head, "Actually there was movement, but you haven't noticed it yet."
