Chapter 358 Adjustment

The comics market in District 11 is not as big as Huaxia, but the industrial chain is complete, and the quality and quantity of comic-related peripherals are also higher than Huaxia. This can be seen from the production of games, animations, and figures.

More importantly, the major magazines will not let their signature cartoonists go.

Of course, "ComicFuture" has always considered itself the number one publication in China, so it didn't focus on foreign comics - it's good to have high-quality foreign comics, and it doesn't matter if they don't.

This kind of attitude will definitely not be able to attract foreign authors who like it.

Shen Xin found a bedroom for Wang Wenhong on the first floor and asked him to put his luggage first.

"You'll be living here for the next few months... By the way, you'll also stay here during the day to help me?"

"No, I'm only in charge at night." Wang Wenhong explained.

"I don't think you're here to help me."

"Um?"

"You seem to be here to catch up." Shen Xin teased.

Wang Wenhong opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute - he went to the magazine office during the day and came here at night, isn't it just to stay?

"Actually, I also know that if you work alone, you may be more efficient, but the editor-in-chief is also forced to do nothing. The magazine's sales have been declining. When "Killer Diary" is finished, it is estimated that it will decline significantly." Wang Wenhong followed Shen Xin out of the bedroom, and at the same time, informed the status of the magazine.

"Should I try to hurry up?" Shen Xin scratched her head, sat in front of the workbench, picked up the pressure-sensitive pen, touched the digital screen with the tip of the pen, and remembered another thing, "Brother Wang, I have something, can you help me?" Will you tell Mr. Shang?"

"Look, my role is now manifested." Wang Wenhong grinned.

"I'll call you, won't the effect be the same?" Shen Xin said angrily.

"..." Wang Wenhong's smile cooled down in an instant, as if it was true.

"Ahem...well, Mr. Shen, what's the matter with you?"

Wang Wenhong coughed dryly, with a serious expression, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Shen Xin didn't get entangled in this matter, "It's the first time I've drawn this type of manga, so I can't control many places. Sometimes, the length of each chapter may be a little longer. I once I’m afraid it’s not easy for you to deal with more than 30 pages of manuscripts, so can you talk to the editor-in-chief first and ask his opinion for me.”

This is Shen Xin's decision after repeated thinking.

"Steel Refining" was published in "Monthly Shonen Gangan", so the length of each chapter is not consistent. The few chapters have more than thirty pages, and the many ones have sixty or seventy pages.

At first, he planned to imitate "Smelting Steel", with an average of forty to fifty pages per chapter. For this reason, he specially bought a computer and a digital tablet.

In the past two days, he still gave up this practice. It's not because it can't be done, but this approach is not friendly to other cartoonists.

Now the entire manga world is in a state of balance, and a single chapter is basically around 20 pages. It is already very difficult for ordinary cartoonists to update more than 20 pages a week. Some cartoonists even have to stay up all night in order to serialize comics because they have no assistants.

Shen Xin serializes 40 pages a week. If "Steel Refining" is a big hit, there will be people scrambling to follow suit. To some extent, it will increase the workload of other cartoonists. disuse.

Drawing comics is not writing novels.

Internet authors can update 10,000 words a day if their coding speed is fast. However, the creation of comics starts with drawing, then drawing, blackening, pasting dots... It may require the cooperation of many people.

Once the number of weekly pages provided by cartoonists to the magazine increases, it may cause a chain reaction, and no one can predict what will happen in the end.

What's more, his physical condition cannot always be at its peak. "Smelting Steel" draws 40 pages a week, what about the next comic? Also 40 pages?

After more than ten years, he is likely to jump into the hole he dug himself-after all, he is old and his physical strength will be limited.

Not everyone can be like Yoshihiro Togashi,

Throw the sketch to the magazine for publication.

After thinking about it, Shen Xin still decided to break down the single chapters of the original book, which exceeds 40 pages, and draw them.

The cartoonist has already worked very hard, so he doesn't need to use the update amount to embarrass other cartoonists.

However, he can split a 40-page manga into two chapters, but if it is more than 30 pages in the first place, if it is split again, it is really too little.

After thinking for a while, Wang Wenhong agreed, "Well, I will pass it on to the editor-in-chief."

What Shen Xin said, just need to pay a little attention when arranging the short comics, the operation is not too difficult.

What's more, "ComicFuture" is currently short of good manuscripts. If Shen Xin updates more than 30 pages a week, Shang Haozhi should be very happy.

For several days, Shen Xin was busy with the setting and outline, while Wang Wenhong sorted out the materials and helped Shen Xin look up the content she needed.

At the same time, the digital tablet mail-ordered from District 11 was finally delivered to Shen Xin's studio.

After several hours of debugging, Shen Xin felt that the operation problem was not too big, so she called Gao Hang and asked him to come over the next day.

The next day, Gao Hang came to the studio early and was speechless after seeing the computer and digital board on the workbench.

"Teacher, this is..."

Gao Hang held the pressure-sensitive pen, making him unable to express his inner excitement.

The heavy feeling in the hand is completely different from that of a dip pen.

"Electronic office, increase efficiency. If you don't like it..."

"dislike!"

joke!

Gao Hang is not a fool. Even if it is less than 100,000 yuan, it is about the same. Which studio can spend this money? Moreover, after getting familiar with it, the work efficiency is indeed much faster than the traditional painting mode.

"There are books about it on the shelf. Wait a moment, and I will give you the scrapped manuscript. Practice quickly in the past few months, and don't be in a hurry."

"En." Gao Hang nodded heavily.

For him, this is also a new attempt and learning, so he must seize the time to master it.

"Ma Ning and Li Jie...do you have contact with them?"

Due to the use of the digital board, the number of assistants does not need to be as many as before.

Three assistants are the best, but two are not impossible.

"Ma Ning seems to have gone to "Man Weekly". It is said that the serialization has been confirmed. As for Li Jie, the latest short story has also passed the review of "ComicFuture" and will be published soon." Gao Hang said seriously.

Shen Xin was a little frustrated, if she didn't have a suitable assistant, it would be quite strenuous to work.

"It seems that I need to ask Brother Wang for help again."

"That... teacher, why don't you try the graduates of the comic school?" Gao Hang reminded, "Someone of them should want to become a professional assistant."

Manga school?

Shen Xin rubbed her chin, thinking whether Gao Hang's proposal was feasible.
