Chapter 1206 Background and Differences
"Mr. Shen, what's wrong with him?"
Seeing Shen Xin's contemplation, Li Huashen was not at ease, so he could only ask Wang Wenhong.
Seeing Shen Xin's expression, Wang Wenhong was a little surprised, but soon thought, might Shen Xin already have an idea for the next comic?
If so, that would be great.
He also wanted to know what quality comics Shen Xin could draw after "; DUNK".
Li Huashen's words brought Shen Xin back to her senses.
Seeing Tachibana's puzzled expression, Shen Xin chuckled and said, "";DUNK" is not over yet, and I haven't figured out what the next manga will be. I want to take a break after five or six years of continuous serialization. , otherwise, the body may not be able to bear it. As for the next work...my wife is just pregnant, and I want to spend time with her after "; Yuechang comics are used for transition. Moreover, the style of "; DUNK" puts a lot of pressure on me and my assistants. At that time, I may consider changing the style."
In addition to the fact that "Man·Dao" is the work of two people, there is another reason for drawing "Man·Dao" between the two comics, which is to allow readers to adapt to the change of comic style.
Takeshi Obata and Takehiko Inoue are among the top manga artists in the "jump" series in terms of drawing skills, but their styles are completely different. Inoue's style is more realistic, while Obata Takeru's style is more gorgeous. This feature has been brought into full play in "DN".
Readers may wonder whether it is a ghostwriting, not to mention the painting style that is more intuitive than the writing style?
Furthermore, even if readers can adapt, it still needs a process, and "Man·Tao" can just become a buffer work.
"Change style?"
When Tachibana heard what Shen Xin said, he was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the painting style of "DUNK" is different from that of "Soul of Chess", "Steel Refining" and "DN" - Shen Xin is good at more than "; DUNK" "One of the performances.
"The current style is not bad, why not continue to use it?"
"I'm more used to drawing the previous style, and drawing fantasy manga, this style is not suitable, right?"
Inoue Takehiko's painting style is more realistic,
It can express the thick feeling of the work, while the fantasy comics emphasize imagination more, at least Shen Xin has not thought of how to combine the two.
If it is a work of Xianxia or martial arts, you can use it.
A painter with a style similar to "Vagabond", with fairy tales or martial arts stories, the effect should be good, but the name needs to think carefully before it can be created.
"That's true."
Hearing Wang Wenhong's translation, Tachibana also nodded slightly.
For overhead comics, the painting style of "Steel Refining" is quite good.
"By the way, I heard that you will have a monthly update work coming out in a few months. I don't know what type of work it is?" Tachibana asked curiously.
"ah?"
Wang Wenhong was startled when he heard Lihuashen's words.
"Comic Future" will serialize "Man·Tao", Wang Wenhong can understand, after all, Shen Xin has opened up several positions of other domestic cartoonists, even if Shen Xin is only a monthly update, it can still help "; DUNK" to attract many readers, But "Shounen Leap" is different. There are more good cartoonists than "Comic Future". Besides, there are national comics like "Gate of Eternal Life". There is no need to use monthly comics to increase popularity.
Wang Wenhong was full of doubts, and translated Tachibana's words to Shen Xin. Shen Xin didn't expect that Tachibana would take the initiative to mention this monthly comic, but since he asked, he didn't intend to hide it: "The theme is based on cartoonists."
"Cartoonist?" Tachibana's eyes jumped, and then he rubbed his forehead, looking embarrassed.
Wang Wenhong chuckled, "Because it's a niche topic, that's why I chose monthly updates."
"It's not about the subject matter." Tachibana waved his hand, "I want to know, how do you plan to create?"
"Tell the stories between cartoonists, let readers understand the industry of cartoonists, of course, it may also reveal some 'secrets' in the industry, such as the 'exclusive contract system'."
"Such comics must have a lot of dry goods." Tachibana explained, "Will readers read this kind of comics full of dry goods?"
"I think this way, only if comics are interesting will readers like them. As long as you tell the interesting side of the subject matter, it's ok. This comic is serialized in a comic magazine, and the readers are all people who know a lot about comics. , they are also interested in the daily life of cartoonists, serial meetings of magazines, and may even involve voice actors or animation. These are selling points and highlights. This comic can also let readers understand the internal processes of cartoonists and comic platforms Get a feel for it. That's what I expect from this comic."
"Using 'unknown' as a selling point is a bit like 'knowledge'. Readers will be interested in areas that are ignorant but not sure about. However, there is one point that the serialization process of Huaxia magazines is not necessarily the same as that of District 11. If it is serialized in District 11, there should be obstacles." Tachibana shook his head and said.
Forget about other types of comics, the category of cartoonists is indeed related to the background, and the overall quality of comics in District 11 is slightly higher than Huaxia. If it was set in China, "Youth Leap" or its website would have no selling point at all.
"Then what do you mean..." Shen Xin heard some other meanings from Tachibana's Chinese.
"With District 11 as the background. The overall quality of "Young Leap" is higher than that of "Comic Future". With "Youth Leap" as the prototype of the serialization platform, the challenge of the protagonist is more difficult."
"..."
The muscles on Shen Xin's face twitched twice.
With "Shounen Leap" as the background? It would be weird if it could be serialized in "Comic Future"!
Moreover, the script of "Man·Dao" has already been completed a lot, once the background is changed, there are many things to be changed.
Wang Wenhong was also a little dizzy, "Young Leap can't be serialized monthly, right?"
"Of course, but we also have online platforms and weekly magazines, which can be serialized." Tachibana replied without hesitation.
He said this not on a whim, but because "The Gate of Eternal Life" only has a few years left, and Shen Xin's next week's work is definitely the best substitute. As long as Shen Xin is still drawing, even if it is not serialized in "Young Leap", Shen Xin's popularity can still be guaranteed, and it will be a warm-up for the next week's works.
This is very important.
"However, "Comic Future" has already given an answer, and it can be serialized in a weekly magazine... How about you discuss it with "Comic Future"?" Shen Xin pulled out "Comic Future".
It is a strange thing that "Comic Future" can agree to serialize the comics set in District 11.
"..." Tachibana opened his mouth, and then said bravely, "I will definitely visit "Comic Future" during my trip to Hongchuan this time, and I will mention this to them. But... I think Borrow someone from you."
"who?"
"Asai Hui... I don't know Chinese, so I need to find an interpreter." Tachibana was a little nervous, but his expression was extremely serious.
Shen Xin rubbed his forehead, and after a long time, the matter was not settled, and he still had to find someone else.
No, you are saving too much money, right?
Shen Xin thought for a while, and then put forward a condition, "I can lend it to you, but you have to pay for her hard work, you can't let others work for nothing, right?"
