Chapter 125 Guidance

The sales of "Y's" also declined steadily after a week.

In fact, this is also very understandable. Readers who want to buy a single book will buy it immediately. Therefore, the follow-up sales of any comic cannot be compared with the previous few days.

This is not only the case with "Y's", "Punishment" is not much better than "Ys".

In the whole month of its release, the sales volume of "Y's" was just 550,000 copies, and the total sales volume reached 1.32 million copies, and the total sales volume of "Punishment" also came to 1.25 million copies.

The comics at the top did not sit still, and released new booklets one after another.

Although the ranking of "Y's" on the newcomer list has not changed, but because other comics have also released single volumes, there has been a certain distance in terms of sales.

Regarding this situation, Shen Xin was not in a hurry.

There are still 5 months until October, as long as the quality of "Y's" does not collapse, there is a chance of reversal.

The studio did not relax because of a little achievement. Their workload is still heavy, but the bonus has actually doubled. Therefore, the three assistants did not complain, but became more serious. Every manuscript tried to achieve extreme.

During this period, Zhou Yang also handed over the second short story of "Ghost Poses" to Shen Xin, asking him to check it out.

To draw an excellent short comic, the cartoonist has to put in a lot of effort to repeatedly modify the name, and in 50 pages, there is a complete structure, clearly explaining the cause, process and result of the story, introducing the background, And achieve a foreshadowing and climax.

Shen Xin doesn't like drawing short comics very much, because the things to consider are too cumbersome. When he first drew "Love Equation", he felt this kind of pain.

However, short stories also have the advantage of short stories, that is, it is easier for cartoonists to grasp the rhythm, and they will not lose control.

If the length is too long, for some cartoonists of average strength, there may be a state of powerlessness in the later stage, which will affect the end of the story and cause unfinished endings.

It is even possible to be cruel and cut it off with a single knife.

This sort of thing, though less common, is not unheard of.

Zhou Yang belongs to the kind with a rich imagination, and has many strange settings.

Shen Xin also discussed the title of the book with Zhou Yang. At that time, Zhou Yang said that "ghost power" is a kind of ability, and different high-level ghosts have different ghost powers.

After hearing this explanation, Shen Xin immediately understood, but then said that the title of the book is not very good, and many comics do not use "ability" as the title.

"Then what is it named after?" Zhou Yang asked in surprise.

Lu Ning pricked up her ears, she also wanted to hear Shen Xin's understanding.

"Indicate the identity of the protagonist, and then it is the theme of the comic."

The former is more common such as "Saint Seiya", "Hunter x Hunter", "Naruto", "Reaper", "Fairy Tail"... As for the latter, there are "One Piece", "Dragon Ball", "Dream Eater" ", "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" and other comics.

Of course, there are other types of titles, but these two are more common.

"If you decide to use "Ghost Poses", then you have to think carefully about the name of "Ghost Poses". Either, 'Ghost Poses' is the aggregate of souls in the name of the first chapter, or, 'Ghost Poses' is the protagonist's Profession."

"What's the difference between the two?" Lu Ning turned her head and asked in confusion.

"The way of expressing the world view is different." Shen Xin explained, "If "Ghost Poses" represents the aggregate of souls, then when you paint, you should focus on the type of 'Ghost Poses', and you must Explain clearly the reason for the appearance of "ghosts". It is likely that in the early stage, the world view of the whole story will be determined, and it may even limit the length of the manga. When all ghosts are defeated, it means that the story will end .

"

Taking the enemy as the title of the book, the first thing Shen Xin thought of was "Giant".

"The latter category is more flexible. 'Ghost Power' only represents the protagonist's occupation, so the protagonist may face different enemies. When the enemy is defeated, just switch to a new enemy."

After hearing Shen Xin's explanation, Zhou Yang chose the latter category without hesitation.

He didn't know how long he would draw later, but it was obvious that the latter had more room to maneuver.

After confirming the theme, the name designed by Zhou Yang has a sense of clarity. Xiaoli nodded after reading it.

"This is much better than the previous setting, so design the name according to this setting!"

With Xiaoli's affirmation, Zhou Yang also gained confidence to draw a new short comic under the new name.

At the same time, Yan Fei also brought news that Song Tai will discuss the next stage of publicity with Shen Xin tomorrow, and the meeting place will still be the magazine office.

To be honest, so far, Shen Xin has not thought of a good solution, so when he meets Song Tai tomorrow, on the one hand, he needs to listen to Song Tai's opinion, and on the other hand, he has to beware of Song Tai's conditions. Don't jump into the trap.

After leaving the studio, it was almost 10 o'clock, and Shen Xin didn't go to other places, but returned home directly.

Xi Muhan has been in a pretty good mood recently, the main reason is the huge sales of "Y's".

Every day when eating, she would tell Shen Xin about the reactions of the students in the class. For example, nearly one-third of the class has read "Y's". For another example, a die-hard fan in the class snatched up the signed version of the third volume three times.

Shen Xin usually doesn't have a chance to know these things, but after hearing Xi Muhan's introduction, she also got a general understanding of the thoughts of high school students. Ye Ji was with other boys.

this……

Shen Xin sighed, these people are really real.

Needless to say, most of those who feel this way are boys. If the girl who has a crush on the protagonist ends up with another boy, it is "send off the girl".

As an Internet author in her previous life, Shen Xin still knows a little about some poisonous points.

But the problem is that in the final chapter of "I"s", Akiba Jizi finally found someone she likes, but Gui Zhenghe didn't make it clear whether the person she likes is the one in her heart or someone else.

When I got home, it was pitch black. Only a small piece of light radiated from the crack of the door of Xi Muhan's bedroom.

The door of Xi Muhan's room was closed tightly, but the light in the room shone through the crack of the door, so he must not have slept yet.

Shen Xin turned on the light, just as she closed the door, she heard the sound of the door opening behind her.

No need to guess, it must be the little girl who opened the door.

"have not slept yet?"

"Brother Xin, you came back late today." Xi Muhan ran out of the bedroom in pink pajamas.

"Well. I'm going to the magazine office tomorrow morning, and I have to work a little bit more tonight. I guess it's half past ten? It's time for you to rest."

Shen Xin went to the bathroom to wash her face, and when she came out, she found that Xi Muhan had brought out the food and was sitting at the table with a smile on her face.

Today's Xi Muhan seems to move more neatly.

"What's the happy event?" Shen Xin asked.

"Eh? How do you know?" Xi Muhan asked in surprise.

"'People are in good spirits on happy occasions', something must have happened to you. You got the first place in your grade?" Shen Xin speculated a little.

"No. Isn't it common to be the first in the exam?" Xi Muhan turned his head.

"Then...you don't know how to have a boyfriend, do you?" Shen Xin asked tentatively.

Xi Muhan's eyes widened, his cheeks bulged slightly.

"It's right?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.

"Of course not. I've said it all, I wouldn't fall in love in high school." Xi Muhan clasped his fingers, but looked at Shen Xin with extremely unfriendly eyes.

"What's that?"

"I submitted an article to the magazine, which is the novel I showed you the setting."

"Oh, fantasy." Shen Xin had a little impression that before the New Year, he did make some suggestions, "And then?"

"It's about the same, maybe it needs to be revised." Xi Muhan explained.

"ah?"

Shen Xin looked at Xi Muhan with astonishment, this incident was not what he expected.
