Chapter 367 Sketches and Progress

Although Shen Xin has seen the original version of "Smelting Steel", it still takes a while to get used to expressing "Steel Refining" in her own way.

Therefore, in terms of setting, Shen Xin has to go through repeated revisions before he can draw the characters he wants.

Due to a lot of practice, there are many sketches, but these sketches are very different from the final draft.

Shen Xin printed more than twenty sketches and handed them over to Yan Fei and Yu Chuanyao.

To Yan Fei, Shen Xin's sketch looked both familiar and unfamiliar.

In the magazine, all the "Soul of Chess" she saw had been corrected. It was indeed a long time since she had seen a sketch like this, which was uncolored, pasted on halftone paper, and all the shadows were represented by lines.

Moreover, compared with "Y's", Shen Xin's current painting style is quite different.

At that time, he had a lot of experience in drawing female characters, so she suggested that Shen Xin use "love" as the theme to create comics.

Now, Shen Xin's painting style is more detailed and gorgeous.

The style of "Soul of Chess" is more realistic, but the sketch in hand has a somewhat ancient feeling, like a different world, but not the middle ages... It has a feeling of the 18th and 19th centuries.

If she hadn't seen these drafts, Yan Fei might just be looking forward to Shen Xin's new work, but after reading the drafts, she really wanted to know what form the comics would be developed in.

Tamagawa Haruka looked equally dignified.

He didn't understand Chinese, but he read two points from these sketches.

First, Shen Xin's painting skills are indeed very high, especially, she can quickly adapt to changes in the subject matter. From these sketches, he can clearly see how Shen Xin's style has changed from realism to fantasy.

In addition, this manga should be very interesting, because the characteristics revealed by the characters, such as steel arms, soldiers, different worlds... No one can know what kind of world these factors will create together.

Yu Chuanyao went through these drafts five or six times before looking up at Shen Xin reluctantly.

"When will this manga be published?"

"Probably... not sure, let's see the decision of "Young Leap"? If the speed is fast, it will take about a month. If it is slow, it may take two or three months." Shen Xin explained.

Yan Fei was a little surprised when she heard this, but he agreed to her suggestion and tried to serialize it on "Youth Leap".

But is there a chance? It is not easy to serialize on "Shounen Leap".

Yan Fei guessed in her heart.

""Youth Leap"?" Tamagawa Haruka murmured to himself, his expression became serious.

In the evening, Yu Chuanyao and Yan Fei bid farewell.

Shen Xin originally wanted to invite the two of them to dinner, but neither Yan Fei nor Yuchuan Haruka was in the mood to stay. After saying goodbye, they hurriedly left Shen Xin's studio.

After getting into the taxi, Yan Fei and Yu Chuanyao had their own concerns, and neither made a sound.

"Where are you going?" the driver asked.

"Hongyu Hotel..." Yan Fei mentioned the place where Yu Chuanyao stayed.

"Sister Yan, let's find a coffee shop first? Let's discuss my next comic... This time,

You must help me. Yu Chuanyao looked at Yan Fei resolutely.

Yan Fei shook her head, "I can give you my opinion. But the specific direction of the story still needs to be discussed with your editor in charge. It is impossible for me to go to District 11."

"Then I'll come over—" Yu Chuanyao interrupted Yan Fei.

"That's even more impossible. You should still have a contract. It's impossible for "Young Leap" to let you come here."

Yan Fei glanced at Yu Chuanyao. Although he was about the same age as Shen Xin, sometimes he still thought things too simply.

Hearing the "contract", Tamagawa Haruka opened his mouth slightly, and sighed helplessly.

one year...

He has one more year left on his contract with "Young Leap".

"So, don't even think about it. Again, "Youth Leap" won't let you go." Yan Fei explained.

"Then what are you going to do? Although you haven't seen the name yet, you should be looking forward to Mr. Shen's new work like me, right?" Yu Chuanyao asked.

Yan Fei didn't answer.

"To be honest, I think "Slam Dunk" actually has a chance to win against "Soul of Chess", instead of winning and losing each other like it is now." Yuchuan Haruka looked at Yan Fei seriously.

Yan Fei straightened her bangs, and instead of answering Tamagawa Haruka, she talked about another matter.

"Do you want to see the name of the new teacher's new work?"

"I really want to. If I haven't seen the sketch, I might not be so eager to see the name, but now... I really want to see the name of Mr. Shen's new work. Could it be...you can get the name?" Haruka Yuchuan looked at it in surprise With Yan Fei.

"How can I have that ability? Besides, neither Teacher Shen nor Wang Wenhong will let outsiders see the name easily. But you may be able to see it." Yan Fei turned to look at Yu Chuanyao.

"Why?"

"Did you forget? Mr. Shen said in the afternoon that he hoped this manga could be serialized on "Shounen Leap". Therefore, the editor-in-chief Murakami must be able to see the name of the new book in advance."

Tamagawa Haruka's eyes lit up, and the editor-in-chief Murakami did have the opportunity to see the name of the new book.

He rubbed his hands and looked excited, "When I get back to the hotel, I will contact the editor-in-chief Murakami..."

Yan Fei glanced at Yu Chuanyao who looked excited, and was hesitating in her heart.

Will she become the editor-in-chief again, or will she choose to accept the invitation of the small magazine to be the editor-in-chief?

After returning to the hotel, Tamagawa Haruka couldn't wait to call Murakami.

As soon as the phone was connected, he asked straight to the point: "Mr. Murakami, do you know Mr. Shen's new work?"

"New work? What new work? I don't know." Murakami was at a loss.

Several times today, Tamagawa Haruka had problems speaking, which made him feel very careful when speaking.

He didn't ask recklessly if he couldn't handle it.

"That's right. I met Mr. Shen today and knew that he is creating a new work. Isn't "Soul of Chess" serialized on "Youth Leap"? I was wondering whether our magazine will serialize Mr. Shen's next work."

"I said, Mr. Tamagawa, we choose manga to see if it can be replaced. General manga, even if the quality is slightly higher, but if it can be replaced, we will not introduce it." Murakami explained, "Indeed When are you coming back? Hurry up and discuss the next manga with Ishizawa."

"I've discussed it with Sister Yan."

"Sister Yan?" Murakami rolled his eyes upwards, recalling who was called "Sister Yan".

"Editor-in-Chief, if you have a chance to see Teacher Shen's name, please call me. After that, I will use the fastest time to create the next manga." Tamagawa Haruka said seriously.

"Why? Why do you want to see his name." Murakami asked puzzled.

Yu Chuanyao pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Probably because of pressure? I have to feel the pressure to create better works."
