Chapter 1185 Analysis
"If it is another profession, such as a chef, cooking a dish, even a slightly troublesome dish, can usually be completed within a few hours, but comic serialization, in short, takes several months, which is usually cut in half If there is no achievement, it is impossible to serialize. The slightly longer ones will be serialized for three to four years, but because of the nature of the profession of cartoonists, most... most of them, 99%, are in the studio No matter how good you are at painting, it is impossible to make the serialized plot always fresh." Seeing that Xi Muhan was silent, Shen Xin continued.
"But, there should be editors and stories about other cartoonists, right?" Xi Muhan blushed and retorted to Shen Xin.
"That's right, but besides the annual meeting, the cartoonist who is serializing, how can he have time to make friends with other cartoonists? You also know the deadline? If the protagonist is serializing, there won't be too many things to edit. Usually it's a reminder, even if One or two emergencies can only be used as a 'regulator', not as a routine method. As for other cartoonists... It's not impossible, but the appearance of these cartoonists must take the protagonist as the main line, leading to these cartoons Home? Besides, there are too many cartoonists appearing in the works, and the story will become irrelevant, right?" Shen Xin tried hard to explain.
In "Dream Eater", the highest sincerity and Akito Takagi are very capable and talented, but it was not until the fifth work that they had the opportunity to be serialized.
As long as the manga is not serialized, Takagi and Kokomo must find ways to make the manga serialize. For this reason, the two suffered a lot. During this period, the highest sincerity first served as an assistant to his new wife Eiji, and later, because of a misunderstanding, he and Takagi temporarily disbanded.
Oba Tsugumi’s series of operations, in addition to a true description of the manga artist’s environment, also speeds up the pace of the story through frequent changes of works, so that readers’ eyes will not always stay on the protagonist’s studio.
Once the setting stagnates and what the two protagonists do stagnates, the story loses its twist.
Later, the two were serialized with "Suspect Detective TRAP". But if the serialization time of this work is too long, the progress of "Dream Eater" will stagnate again, so Oba Tsugumi used an operation that is hard for ordinary people to imagine, and it is very extra points-the highest is due to overwork for painting Illness, forced to be hospitalized to stop serialization.
This plot not only deepened the relationship between the male and female protagonists, but also successfully cut "Suspect Detective TRAP" in half. Therefore, sincerity and Takagi had to start again, using short stories to strive for the opportunity to be serialized.
The reason why Oba Thrush arranges the plot in this way is that it is not easy to highlight newcomers, the protagonist keeps switching works, and also adds new content to "Dream Eater", which makes readers feel fresh.
In the same way, in a series of Wenchaogong's novels, the protagonist also keeps launching new works in order to speed up the pace, and to give honor to the protagonist, which is actually the same reason.
Even if it is difficult to realize the operation of the protagonist in reality, those experienced industry professionals have no doubts, which is unreasonable in itself, but in order to allow more readers to accept the work, the author usually chooses between "cool" and "real". "Cool".
The biggest difference from web articles is that Oba Tsugumi is a cartoonist and is very familiar with the process of creating comics. Therefore, he knows how to speed up the pace, how to create conflicts and add different elements to the highest sincerity.
If you want the first article to be long, the pace will slow down a lot, and readers may not be patient or interested.
"What's more, if you think about it, the protagonists of juvenile comics are usually only in their teens, and at most they must be under 30 years old. Even if the protagonist starts serialization at the age of 18—you know, this is already exaggerated—in the protagonist At the age of 30, the manga ends. In 12 years, does the protagonist only create three works? Even, if one wants to create a work recognized by readers and magazines, there must be a long serialization. That is to say, in the manga, the protagonist It is likely to only draw 2 works... Is the content too monotonous?" Shen Xin expressed her worries.
Xi Muhan opened his mouth slightly and scratched his head again.
If the protagonist only draws two or three comics,
It’s true that there is nothing to write. Moreover, a cartoonist is a job at home, and his daily work is just drawing manuscripts. If he really falls into this vicious circle, maybe the story will be really boring.
After thinking about this, Xi Muhan's heart suddenly felt empty, and his eyes were moist.
Seeing this scene, Shen Xin also became nervous and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Brother, am I useless?"
"Um?"
"There's no way to create comics with you as the protagonist..." Although Xi Muhan didn't cry, the disappointed look in his eyes still made Shen Xin feel heartbroken.
"There's no need for me to be the protagonist..." Shen Xin took a deep breath, "For me, if I really want to create a work based on comics, it's best to help new cartoonists, so that they can understand the meaning of comics. In the industry, let them know that this bowl of rice is not easy to eat. If you want to become a cartoonist, you have to give up a lot...your own, your family's. Whether it is comics or other things, it will never be smooth sailing if you want to succeed .”
"Brother, isn't everything going smoothly for you?" Xi Muhan retorted.
"Me? It's not all smooth sailing for me..." Shen Xin recalled the past ten years after time travel, feeling a lot of emotion.
He went from "NewWorld" to "ComicFuture", cooperated with Duoman.com, and "" was serialized in two top magazines at the same time. It is easy to say, because there are comic capsules - but it is not easy for him along the way.
"Moreover, I think it would be very meaningful to draw such a cartoon."
Xi Muhan closed his eyes when he heard this, and when he opened them, he became very energetic.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the change in Xi Muhan's expression, Shen Xin was at a loss.
"It's nothing." Xi Muhan took a deep breath, "I have decided to draw the next part of the cartoon according to Brother Xin's intention..."
"Really? Thank you for your hard work." Shen Xin thanked Xi Muhan, "By the way, if you have any arrangements, you must communicate with Brother Wang and Sister Yan in time. They have rich experience as editors and have seen many emergencies , maybe these can be put in here..."
In the middle of speaking, Shen Xin's words stopped abruptly. Just when Xi Muhan was puzzled, Shen Xin reminded again: "When communicating with Brother Wang, you must pay attention to it. Don't put in those things that cannot be put on the table. I will Afraid of teaching the children badly."
"..."
Xi Muhan couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that Shen Xin was also worried.
The next day, Xi Muhan relayed Shen Xin's words to Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei, who nodded repeatedly after listening.
"Gradually, it can not only express the mistakes that newcomers often make through the protagonist or other cartoonists, but also speed up the progress of the story, so that readers can clearly feel the progress of the protagonist. I think it is very good." Wang Wenhong carefully After thinking about it, he said seriously.
"Teacher Shen is not here, so there is no need to flatter Ma P." Yan Fei glanced at Wang Wenhong with her white eyes.
"I'm serious!" Wang Wenhong was also anxious and quickly explained.
"That..." Xi Muhan took a deep breath and interrupted the two people, "For a while, please help me. Although Brother Xin didn't say it, I have a goal in my heart, although it is not as good as Brother Xin. The previous comics, but this time... I hope not to discredit him. As Brother Xin said, the sales may not be as good as the previous comics, but we must ensure the quality of the works! Please."
"Don't worry... I've been with Mr. Shen for so long, and this is the first time I've encountered this kind of comics that are completely controlled by us. I believe that Yan Fei is also in this mood, so please rest assured that even though it is a comic themed comic, But my goal is to have an average volume of one million." Wang Wenhong said with a smile.
Xi Muhan also nodded, her thoughts were similar to Wang Wenhong's.
Shen Xin, her, Wang Wenhong, and Xi Muhan, except for Shen Xin's overflowing strength, the other three are almost the same. Even Xi Muhan, who has the shortest career, still has two pillar comics in hand.
This is almost a work that allows her to flex her muscles...it is also what she is most looking forward to accomplishing since she joined the studio, so, needless to say, she will go all out.
