My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 1184 Disadvantages

Xi Muhan discussed the new comics with two editors for an afternoon and evening, and he also came up with the title of the book, called "Man Dao". Time, re-created.

After getting the approval of the two, Xi Muhan will hand it over to Shen Xin after returning home at night.

"Brother, this is my new comic!" Xi Muhan put it on the dining table.

Shen Xin was eating supper, when she heard Xi Muhan's words, she was stunned, and looked at her in surprise, "Did you draw it?"

"of course."

Shen Xin took it, glanced at the name of the manga, and said softly, ""Man Dao"?"

"Well, with cartoonists as the theme." Xi Muhan was full of confidence.

"What?" Shen Xin blinked her eyes, feeling dizzy.

"Brother, it's 'caricatures based on cartoonists', which is a topic we often touch on. Cartoonists, you and I are familiar with each other, and you can draw them with ease."

"Well……"

When it comes to comics related to "cartoonists", the first thing Shen Xin thinks of is "Dream Eater", also known as "The King of Manga", by the big and small teachers. The volume of this comic has reached about 800,000 copies. This is an exaggerated figure for works of this type.

In addition to "Dream Eater", there are also some comics related to manga artists, such as "Manga Artist and Assistant", "Weekly Girls Nozaki-kun", and the manga "Hitman" by Seo Koji, but there is nothing to say. Compared with "Dream Eater", because in this manga, Oba Tsugumi and Obata Takeru vividly express the manga artist's sadness and helplessness.

However, its significance is not limited to this, it is the first time to fully disclose the process that a newcomer goes through when he wants to serialize, including but not limited to manuscript submission, serialization meeting, exclusive contract system, etc., so that readers can understand The difficulty of becoming a manga artist, and the process of becoming a manga.

Therefore, if "manga" is used as the subject matter, Shen Xin will definitely compare the manga with "Dream Eater". If Shen Xin cannot be satisfied, Shen Xin does not rule out directly voting against it.

On the one hand, because Shen Xin has watched "Dream Eater", it is inevitable to compare the two. What's more, even comics of the quality of "Dream Eater" only got an average of 700,000 to 800,000 volumes, which shows that the ceiling of this type of comics is not very high.

Seeing that Shen Xin didn't make a sound, Xi Muhan suddenly became in a bad mood, staring at Shen Xin intently.

"Brother, can't you?" Xi Muhan asked nervously.

While watching, Shen Xin asked, "It's not impossible, Xiaohan, can you tell me your thoughts on this comic?"

"Hmm. My idea is to draw a manga with Brother Xin as the main character!"

"..."

Shen Xin was in a cold sweat.

Although Takagi Akito and the most sincere prototype in "Dream Eater" are teachers and teachers, he still couldn't accept the creation of comics based on Shen Xin.

"How to draw specifically?" Shen Xin took a deep breath and asked again.

"The story is mainly divided into two lines. One line is the protagonist, that is, Brother Xin, how to draw manga, and the other line is what happened between cartoonists, such as Mr. Zuo Yuan and D version, and for example, the recent studio event."

The biggest advantage of realistic themes is that they can closely follow real events.

"What about the work?"

"Of course it's impossible to use the ones you painted. At that time, Sister Yan, Brother Wang and I will discuss them carefully. It may be because I finally found something to do. Brother Wang seems to be very happy."

"Haha... There will be many more happy days in the future." Shen Xin laughed.

Once it is decided to use the works that have not yet been completed on Earth for the comics drawn in the next part, Wang Wenhong's workload will inevitably increase.

"By the way, my personal suggestion is to change the protagonist. I am not suitable to be the protagonist of comics." Shen Xin thought for a while, and said this sentence, and at the same time, closed it.

Hearing Xi Muhan's words, Shen Xin felt that there was no need to read any more.

Xi Muhan's face was tense, his eyes widened, and he looked at Shen Xin with a somewhat angry expression.

"Brother, what are you talking about? If you are not the main character, I... this comic has no meaning at all."

In front of Shen Xin, Xi Muhan rarely lost his temper. She cared about Shen Xin very much, without him, she didn't know what experience she would have, maybe even worse than now, maybe.

The two of them have supported each other along the way, and Shen Xin's importance in her heart is far more than any other person.

So, when Shen Xin said this, she couldn't help but refute.

Although his tone was blunt, Xi Muhan was still restraining his emotions, he didn't show too much anger, but his eyes were always on Shen Xin.

"It makes sense. In fact, even if you don't tell me, I want to draw a comic about a cartoonist, but the protagonist is still not me." Shen Xin explained.

"Eh?"

After hearing Shen Xin's words, Xi Muhan realized that the two wanted to go together.

"As for why... the matter of Fan Yinmo, I suddenly realized that we should let some people who have never been in contact with the industry of cartoonists, but have a good impression of the profession of cartoonists, know about this industry; let some people who are interested in cartoons Those who have a longing for the industry, and even thought about flying to the sky, understand this industry; let those who have half a foot in the industry, but do not know much about some trivial rules, understand this industry. If you read this If there is even one reader who knows about comics and cartoonists, I think our goal will be achieved.

"So, comics with this theme are meaningful, even if the protagonist is not me..." Shen Xin said seriously.

"But...why don't you agree that the protagonist is you?" Xi Muhan asked puzzled.

"If I were the protagonist, how would you like to create?"

"It's the same as your career trajectory, working hard to create good works, and then being recognized, interspersed with some other cartoonists." Xi Muhan said seriously.

Shen Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Let's not talk about whether I'm suitable to be the protagonist of this manga, I'll just ask you one thing. If the protagonist's first work is a novel, then let me ask you, how long will this novel be serialized? "

"A medium-length novel." Xi Muhan corrected, "About two or three years?"

"Two or three years... In the two or three years of this serialization, are you going to let readers only read such a completely fabricated comic? Where is the reader's sense of substitution?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"ah?"

"For a juvenile manga, the protagonist is usually not too old, at most in his twenties. It takes two or three years to draw a manga, which is equivalent to a quarter to a third of the length of the work and this It's about comics. Since the comics are original, the reader's sense of substitution is very weak, and...the rhythm of the comics will be slowed down, Xiaohan, have you thought about this?" Shen Xin sighed.

Xi Muhan was speechless and shook his head hastily.

She only wanted to draw Shen Xin's past, and she really didn't think about the fact that the length of the original work would affect the rhythm of the manga.
