Chapter 261 Comments

Wang Wenhong notified Li Jie in the evening to let him come to the editorial department of "ic future", and the two went to Shen Xin's studio together.

As soon as the words fell, a cheer came from the microphone.

Are you so happy?

Wang Wenhong's mind was full of question marks.

After meeting up, the two took the subway to Shen Xin's studio.

Along the way, although Li Jie didn't speak much, his complexion obviously improved a lot. This time, he didn't just hold a manuscript, but a schoolbag.

As for what's in the schoolbag, I'm afraid few people know except himself.

Wang Wenhong knocked on the door of the studio, Gao Hang opened the door and led the two into the room.

"Is Teacher Shen still working?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"Well. The second floor." Gao Hang pointed to the upstairs, and then returned to his seat, lowering his head to draw the background.

Li Jie came to Shen Xin's studio for the first time, and at first glance, he was a little surprised.

"Leave quickly." Wang Wenhong turned his head and urged Li Jie, who was looking left and right.

Li Jie quickly followed Wang Wenhong up to the second floor.

Seeing that Shen Xin was still drawing with his head down, Wang Wenhong signaled Li Jie to sit on the sofa first, but Li Jie just put his backpack on the ground, but did not sit down.

Wang Wenhong walked to Shen Xin's side and saw that he was blacking out with a brush, so he didn't make a sound.

When Shen Xin put down the brush, Wang Wenhong said, "Li Jie is here."

"oh."

Shen Xin wiped the ink off her hands, then sat up straight, saw Li Jie standing beside the sofa, and nodded slightly.

Li Jie also nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

"Where's Xiaohan?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"In the room, I'm writing a manuscript." Shen Xin said.

"By the way, why don't you let Xiaohan go to "Qichuang Library"? Chairman Bao sees it for your sake, so you must promote it."

"Xiaohan is also good in "The Lightest Language". Without the help of others, he also achieved good results. So, why use the strength of others? Besides, Yishu Culture has a high reputation in the comics industry, but in In terms of light novels, it's about 50-50 like "The Lightest Language", right?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

Wang Wenhong thought about it, and this is true.

As the saying goes, every other line is like a mountain.

Although comics and light novels are both books, the sales volume of "Qichuang Library" is not sure to beat "The Lightest Language".

What the hell? Anyway, Shen Xin is now in "ic future", this is enough.

"Long time no see." Shen Xin walked up to Li Jie and said softly.

"Long time...no see." Li Jie was a little incoherent, "Last time, I'm really sorry. I haven't seen you, so my words were a bit abrupt."

"It's okay. I think what you said is very good. Although I know all the things you said, other newcomers may be useful."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Shen Xin felt that Li Jie was much more low-key than he was at the beginning of the year.

Li Jie suddenly had the feeling of seeing a confidant.

"Everyone sit down, don't be too cautious." Shen Xin waved her hand to signal Li Jie and Wang Wenhong to sit down, then went downstairs to get three bottles of Coke and handed them to Li Jie and Wang Wenhong.

"alright,

What can I do for you. "Shen Xin took a sip of Coke and looked at Li Jie puzzled.

"It's like this..." Li Jie quickly put down the Coke, opened the backpack, and took out two large envelopes, "Teacher, take a look, which of these two manuscripts is better."

Shen Xin took the big envelope, pulled out the manuscript, and quickly scanned it.

The two comics are both called "The Value of Time". At first, Shen Xin thought they were two stories under the same background, that is, the same series of comics.

However, when he finished reading the first manuscript, he read less than ten pages of the second manuscript, and realized that the two manuscripts were about the same thing, but the structure of the comic and the sub-camera were different.

Knowing this, Shen Xin immediately read the two manuscripts completely.

Li Jie looked at Shen Xin nervously, and quickly asked, "Teacher, how are you doing?"

"How about it..." Shen Xin scratched her head, a bit difficult to speak.

If the person who read this manuscript was Ye Hexu, maybe he wouldn't be so embarrassed, just two words - dead.

This is not to say that these two manuscripts are useless and unable to be published in magazines, but that after drawing comics for such a long time, it is inevitable that their horizons will be higher.

"Only read these two manuscripts, I recommend the first one." Shen Xin knocked on the manuscript on the desktop.

"The first one?" Li Jie asked hastily, "Isn't the second one better?"

"The second one is better, just judging from the drawing skills. But the structure and storyboards are not as good as the first one." Shen Xin rubbed her chin, "I really can't figure out why such a complicated background is set for short comics?"

"I think this theme is very innovative." Li Jie said hastily.

"This is true, it is indeed very innovative. But you also need to know that comics... no, as long as it is a work, you must not pile up the settings at the beginning. Readers don't pay much attention to your settings. Moreover, there are too many words in the dialogue. , the reader will look very uncomfortable. A dialog box should not exceed three lines, and a line can contain no more than six or seven characters."

"However, the background needs to be introduced. I must let the readers know a thing or two, right?"

"Refining words. Use as few words as possible to express as much language as possible. Unless necessary, such as reasoning or explanation, otherwise, don't let too many words appear in a dialog box, and the reader will be tired looking at it .Besides, the entry of this manga is too slow.”

For any work, the beginning is very important.

Even the animation has to show its selling points in the first three episodes, let alone the comics.

Even before his time-travel, web novels had developed to the golden chapter, the first chapter where conflict or story highlights would occur.

"But the background also needs to be introduced?" Li Jie asked hastily.

"Yes, that's why I think it's not suitable to draw only one episode of a manga like this. It's best to intersperse the story while telling the story."

Li Jie nodded, "Actually, Mr. Shen should have noticed that these two comics are a story. The first one is a submitted comic, which was published on "Youth Future."

"Then why do you still draw a second cartoon?" Shen Xin asked puzzled.

"I don't think I'm worse than Luo Zheng, so I asked a... teacher. He gave me some advice." Li Jie rubbed his hands anxiously.

"Who is Luo Zheng?" Shen Xin heard this name for the first time.

"It's the first place in the short comic competition in the first half of the year." Li Jie quickly explained, and took out a copy of "Youth Future" from his schoolbag, flipped through a page, and handed it to Shen Xin, "This is his comic. "

Shen Xin glanced at the manga, the title was "Wake Up and Become a Girl".

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that it is a transformation comic.

In fact, there are quite a lot of transformation comics on the earth, such as "Ranma", "Yamada and the Seven Witches", not to mention online novels, which support half of the original novels in the second dimension.

This kind of comic also has its own advantages. First, it is quick to enter the topic. The opening chapter of the comic tells the readers the selling point of the story. Secondly, there is no need to explain the lengthy background, because even if it is not explained, the readers will know.

For the rest, just have a good story.

Shen Xin didn't read the transformation text much, but it didn't affect his judgment on the manga. After reading Luo Zheng's manga, Shen Xin returned the magazine to Li Jie.

"Sorry, your comics are indeed inferior to Luo Zheng's. In other words, judging from these two comics, Luo Zheng's understanding of comics is better than yours." Shen Xin said.
