Chapter 142 The Effect of the Competition
As Shen Xin's assistants, Lu Ning and Gao Hang are very familiar with Shen Xin's painting style.
When they saw the cartoon for the first time, the expressions of the two tightened.
The imitation of "Y's" by Seven Grapefruits and Reverberation has reached a very high level. At first glance, the two of them even thought it was Shen Xin's original manuscript.
But after a closer look, it is not difficult to detect the difference between the two. For example, the lines of a manga.
In fact, the lines of comics are quite particular.
For example, when a character's cheeks or a certain part of the body protrude, the lines tend to be thicker, and when the lines are retracted, the lines are thinner.
If you want to achieve such an effect, or in other words, if you want to show different thicknesses on a curve, it is best to use a G pen, because the tip of the G pen is very flexible, and you can control the expression of the line by controlling the strength.
As for the fanfic in front of me, the strength of the characters has changed very little. The reason is that the main writer did not use a G-pen.
Of course, no one is sure that a G pen must be used to draw comics. Some cartoonists even choose neutral pens or signature pens to draw originals, which often have good results.
But compared with the G-pen, other pens cannot show the emotions of the characters through the changes of the lines, especially when compared with the original painting of "Y's", this sense of difference is even more obvious.
After a short period of surprise, Lu Ning and Gao Hang were also quite sober, and continued to read with their heads down, finishing the two articles in one go.
"How do you feel?" Yan Fei smiled.
"It's not hard to tell the difference between the two comics in this issue. There's a lot of difference in storytelling and artistry." Lu Ning guessed.
"You support the first article, right? But I think the angle of entry for the second article is also good." Gao Hang put forward the opposite opinion.
"I know, its cutting angle is really eye-catching, but its storyboard is a bit messy, I think it looks a little dizzy." Lu Ning shook her head, "Sister Yan, what do you think?"
"Teacher Shen is sitting here, and you still ask me?" Yan Fei shook her head slightly, "Let Teacher Shen judge and see if you have a chance?"
Gao Hang nodded quickly, and couldn't wait to come to Shen Xin's side, "Mr. Shen..."
Shen Xin also heard the discussion of the three people, knowing that Gao Hang was running over, she raised her head and looked at Gao Hang in front of her, "Are you confident?"
"Of course I have confidence in the background, but it's hard to say about other aspects..." At the end of the speech, Gao Hang's voice gradually faded, and he glanced at Lu Ning from the corner of his eye, but saw Lu Ning coming behind him, so he quickly closed his eyes. On the mouth.
Shen Xin looked at the fat man hesitating to speak, secretly amused, while the boy raised himself up, he also did not forget to tease Lu Ning.
But Gao Hang is right, he has been drawing the background of "Y's", so it should be able to guarantee a stable level, but Lu Ning is different. I said before that her painting style is narrow, after such a long time Learning, don't know if it has improved.
As for the two comics in front of me, they are not bad. The so-called "big hand" is not in vain.
In particular, the first fanfic drawn by two masters signed by "Reverberation" and "Seven Grapefruits" is of high quality. Not only are the characters very similar to the original work, but the background and effect lines are also drawn delicately. In terms of quality alone, it is no less than other comics in "New World".
The starting point of the story is also better. I choose the scene where Yigui confesses by the pier, but Yizhi rejects Yigui because he thinks he is telling a ghost story.
On the way back, Yigui met another girl with sprained feet, and carried her back to the hotel, but was bumped into by Yizhi again, and the two had a new misunderstanding.
And the girl with sprained feet actually came out after "Y's"-mistakenly thinking that Yigui, who was rejected by Iori, gave up on herself, and then went swimming with this girl in the sea, accidentally taking off her swimsuit.
The two big hands chose this girl, and it complements the subsequent chapters, which fits the theme of "Y's" very well.
As for the second fanfic, the penetration is a bit strange. The author chose the content at the beginning of "Y's", that is, the story of Iori was notified to take a promotional photo, but the organizer installed a camera in the fitting room. The author uses the camera as the first perspective to narrate the whole process, and therefore, the picture will appear more "attractive".
The shortcomings of this work are obvious. It uses a large number of vertical storyboards, which cuts the overall sense of the picture, so the comics look messy and disorderly.
"The entry point of the second article is very good, and the creator's mind is also very flexible, but the storyboard is a bit messy, right? The style of the first work is more similar to "Y's". It can be seen that these two people really want to draw this fan... …By the way, the outcome is determined by the votes of the readers?" Shen Xin asked.
"That's right. In the next issue of the reader questionnaire, there will be an option related to fans. The results of the competition will be judged based on the questionnaire." Yan Fei said.
Shen Xin nodded slightly, "The outcome is hard to say."
Gao Hang was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Teacher, can't even you judge?"
"The magazine has handed over the results to the market, and it's hard for me to judge the results. Some works will become popular for no reason, but more works depend on the quality of the comics. You can judge the market trend from the first round, and then Make slight adjustments." Shen Xin closed the magazine, looked back at Yan Fei, "I guess the president will be very happy?"
Questionnaires are the only means of voting, and those who want to vote must buy "New World", which forces Big Hands fans to spend part of their money on magazines.
"That's right, this is a good thing for you and the magazine." Yan Fei smiled.
Since they bought the magazine, they will also read the latest episode of "Y's", which may help them develop the habit of following "Y's".
Shen Xin felt that Wang Wenhong's original proposal was more valuable.
But he also understands that unless there are special circumstances, there is almost no possibility of cooperation between him and Wang Wenhong-he must at least find an editor's job.
Lu Ning took the magazine and flipped through the two novels again, her brows gradually furrowed, she should work harder.
After this issue of "New World" was officially released, it immediately sparked discussions among readers, and the sales volume of the magazine soared again, breaking through to 950,000 copies.
The sales of "Y's" have increased slightly, and the popularity has also been fired. More than a dozen long reviews related to "Y's" have appeared on Manjia.com, which is more than other cartoonists on the newcomer list, which surprised them.
But Shen Xin knows that half of these long reviews are long comments about "Y's" fans, but because the plot of these fans extends to "Y's", it is difficult for many people to distinguish from the book reviews alone, which deepens some readers. Understanding of "Y's".
This is the effect Song Tai wanted to achieve at the beginning.
