Chapter 395 Creation and Colleagues
Long comics are composed of one small plot after another.
Take the plot of "Edward told the truth about the Philosopher's Stone to the two guards" as an example. It is really inappropriate to take it out alone, but it has played a link between the past and the future.
"Would it be better if it were changed to other plots, such as Armstrong's accidental detection?" Hang Jian raised his hand.
He wanted to be a professional cartoonist in the past, and he also considered the arrangement of the plot, so after hearing Shen Xin's explanation, he raised his own doubts.
"In principle, there is no problem, but the rhythm will be slowed down." Shen Xin explained, "No matter how 'unintentional' Abstrong is, a certain amount of time must be drawn, then during this time, the rhythm of the story will be slowed down." It tends to be flat, not as fast as Edward accidentally revealing the secret of the 'Philosopher's Stone'."
Sometimes in order to speed up the rhythm of the plot, the author will selectively ignore the logic of the story.
Some plots (some, not all) are considered by readers to be thoughtless, or even have no common sense. In fact, part of the reason is that the author wants to speed up the pace of the story.
Generally speaking, the protagonist is "stepped on" and then the villain is "slapped in the face". This is a very normal rhythm, but if you do some foreshadowing in advance and tell the reasons why the villain does this, readers will feel that the author is "watering" the article. And if rationality is ignored, in order to speed up the pace, there is no such concern.
As for the online novels, there is a part of the reason for "lowering the intelligence" of the characters, and this is also the reason.
Both the enemy and the enemy are very rational and consider the overall situation of each other, so it is difficult to have conflicts, and the rhythm of the novel tends to be flat. For this reason, the protagonist will have the attribute of a "magnet". Many supporting characters find fault, but are "educated" by the protagonist.
Of course, conflicts can occur if the characters do not "reduce their intelligence", but it takes time to design the plot, and the update speed will be slightly reduced. Otherwise, if there is a detailed outline, the author can also write a logical plot based on this.
But then again,
Although in novels or other types of works, there are plots that are hailed as "mentally retarded" by readers, in reality, there may be more unbelievable events than novels. Afterwards, bystanders may find it unbelievable, but the reality is real.
After hearing Shen Xin's explanation, the three assistants nodded slightly.
At first hearing, Shen Xin seemed to be looking for reasons for that episode, but after careful reflection, there was some truth to it.
"My teacher seems to have said this too. I thought he was joking at the time, but now that I think about it, he seems to be right." Liu Rui scratched her head and said.
"Your teacher? Is he also a cartoonist?" Shen Xin was a little surprised.
These contents say it is difficult, but it is not difficult, but without practice, it is really difficult to sum it up.
"No." Liu Rui waved her hands again and again, "You are the first full-length cartoonist I've ever met. The teacher I'm talking about is a teacher from a cartoon school. like."
Liu Rui leaned back in her chair, with a smile on her face, recalling her time studying at the comic school.
Manga school, as the name suggests, is a place to learn manga skills. But it is difficult for a student to learn to control the rhythm in class.
Are all the teachers so good now? Hmm...Maybe it's because there are books on this subject?
Shen Xin didn't pay much attention, took the coffee and went back to the workbench on the second floor.
This episode is like a small flaw. Although some people think that Edward is not rational, the plot is indeed very smooth.
At the end of this episode, the manga also revealed the secret of the "Philosopher's Stone" - made from living people.
When the book "comic future" came out, "Steel Refining" ranked second only to "The Legend of the Dragon King", which also proved that there was no problem with the handling of this episode.
Recently, Wang Wenhong's mind has been muddled.
Because the magazine wanted to produce electronic comics, he, Yan Fei and the others had to read 50 comics in their spare time and write comments for each comic.
For Wang Wenhong, reading comics is a happy thing, but reading a lot of comics within a certain period of time is not so happy.
In those comics, although most of them are well-known, the style of painting is really not pleasing.
After all, 20 years have passed, and the style that readers like has also changed.
A new editor glanced at the editor-in-chief and others who were in a meeting behind the glass door, and then yawned, "To be honest, I think that if the magazine really wants to attract readers, it's better to find some young cartoonists, Draw some fan comics."
"Impossible." Jian Xiaomei said, "If the cartoonist becomes famous because of fan comics, what about the original author?"
"The original author should have no objection, right? The copyright is with the magazine." The new editor said.
"What about the next one? Will the original author's next work agree to be published here?" Yan Fei asked.
"Then...then negotiate with the cartoonist."
"Look, the question is back to the original point, how to compensate the original author. In fact, the officially recognized doujin has an influence on the original work, and people who don't know the reason think that the original author has re-serialized. Also, doujin authors sometimes put The plot that the original author wanted to draw was drawn, which made the original author unable to progress according to the original plot. This is how "fans forced the original work to death". Some authors chose to end the manga because the content they wanted to draw was drawn by the same author.
"In contrast, the magazine must protect the interests of the original author. After all, if there is no original work, there will be no fan works." Yan Fei explained.
"That's true."
"Another point is that the painting skills of the same person are not very solid, and the quality will be different from the original work." Wang Wenhong explained.
"Not necessarily, for example, Chen Zijiao, his painting skills are very good." Yan Fei retorted.
"..."
Wang Wenhong was a little depressed, he had almost forgotten the previous things.
"I remember, it seems that Mr. Shen also drew doujinshi, right?" Jian Xiaomei recalled.
"Wrong. Mr. Shen really hasn't drawn before. The manga he draws is strictly a personal blog, and it's only sold at fan fairs." Yan Fei corrected.
Wang Wenhong nodded. Although he and Shen Xin "passed each other" back then, which made him depressed for a long time, Shen Xin's painting was indeed a personal diary, because there was no original work, or Shen Xin herself was the original author.
"Speaking of Mr. Shen, I remember that there was a person who imitated Mr. Shen's works and was very famous in the circle." The new editor suddenly remembered this matter.
"Huh? "Soul of Chess"...or "Steel Refining"?" Wang Wenhong immediately fell in love.
"Brother Wang, where are you thinking? If there is no guidance from chess players, how can "Soul of Chess" be drawn casually? "Steel Refining" is even more impossible. Now that the settings have not been fully released, there is no way to create a fan. That person imitated It's "y's", speaking of it, it should be several years old." Said the newcomer editor.
