Chapter 396 Doujin Manga Artist

For those with solid basic skills, it is not difficult to imitate the style of a cartoonist. Therefore, it is normal for Shen Xin's painting style to be imitated. Especially, when drawing "Y's", Shen Xin tended to be more realistic. The style is not fixed either.

If you want to imitate Shen Xin's current painting style, it may be difficult.

"Are there any fanzines he drew on the Internet?" Wang Wenhong asked curiously.

"At that time, he was still selling doujinshi at fan fairs, and there probably weren't any online." The newcomer editor shook his head.

"That's a pity."

Yan Fei sighed, she really wanted to see the level of drawing skills of this fan cartoonist.

"What's his name?" Wang Wenhong asked back.

"I don't know, I only know that his screen name is 'Helix'." The new editor said, wrote these two words on a sticky note, and handed it to Wang Wenhong.

"Spiral?" Wang Wenhong frowned, he had no impression of such a painter at all.

"Does he still paint?" Wang Wenhong asked back.

"Then I don't know. Doujin authors are updated very quickly. If there is a doujin author who can draw it, even if he becomes a manga artist, he will definitely debut. If he is not famous, then he still needs to find a job? After all, doujin artists The income is very small, and it is impossible to draw a fan for a lifetime."

This is true.

"However, if his painting skills are really that good, he shouldn't be unknown."

"It should be the rich second generation or something? If you don't work hard to draw manga, you will be forced to inherit the family property. Although he worked very hard, he was still arrested." Jian Xiaomei smiled.

"Is it interesting to take a look?" Wang Wenhong asked back.

"Interesting." Jian Xiaomei read a joke on the Internet two days ago, and it is quite appropriate to use it here.

"..."

"Brother Wang, I bought that doujinshi." The new editor raised his hand.

"Huh? Have you bought it? When will you bring it here, let me have a look?" Wang Wenhong asked expectantly.

"Uh..." The new editor scratched his head, "I moved a while ago, I don't know if it's sold?"

"..."

What did you say?

Wang Wenhong shook his head, the newcomer is still unreliable.

In the entire editorial department, only Xu Jie did not make a sound. He held a signature pen, hugged his hands, and looked nervous.

"Brother Xu, are you still worried?"

Wang Wenhong and Xu Jie's desks are next to each other, and they usually have a good relationship.

"I'd like to, but I'm still nervous because the serial meeting is going on now." Xu Jie said nervously.

For cartoonists, a serial meeting is like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate. Whether it can soar into the sky or not, it is all within a few hours.

With serialization, you can get the contract of the magazine, have the contract money, and also have the manuscript fee income. If the results are good, a booklet can also be sold.

Then, live off the royalties later on.

This should be the dream of every cartoonist.

And for editors, serial meetings are not as important as cartoonists,

But they're also nervous.

That kind of feeling is like a student waiting for the test results. Before the final result comes out, the nerves are always tense.

"Don't worry..." Wang Wenhong glanced back at the editor-in-chief and others who were in the meeting, "Today, the only ones that will be serialized are Teacher Shi Yan's works, so Teacher Zuo has a chance."

"I hope so." Xu Jie nodded slightly.

The process of the serialization meeting is to first determine the serialized works, and then finalize the half-cut works based on the serialized works.

Having said that, the number of serialized works is still limited, generally no more than four. If there are more than four, a second round of selection and review will be conducted.

Excluding one of Shi Yan's comics, none of the other comics can be identified.

Shang Haozhi opened the name of Shi Yan's new work, and quickly read it.

The style is still funny, and it is very aimed at children under the age of 13. The characters are exaggerated and the picture is simple, but it can make people laugh.

The new work is based on restaurants, the title of the book is "Restaurant in Another World", and it follows the style of another world.

The protagonist is a little chef who is very skilled in cooking but regards money as his life. He opened a restaurant next to the Valley of Warcraft, and the price of every dish is very high.

People who often come to this restaurant are adventurers who have returned from hunting. After ordering, either pay with silver coins, or replace with rare ingredients.

Since someone pays, someone will naturally pay on credit.

Therefore, people who have no money to repay their bills act as waiters in restaurants, such as elves, mages, warriors and others.

"Everyone has read the whole comic, is there anything to say?" Shang Haozhi glanced at other people's faces and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Shi's works are still as interesting as ever, and this time is the same. I think it is worth considering whether it can reproduce the original results with the background of a different world. However, I am optimistic about Mr. Shi's control of the plot and look forward to this work. Can achieve good results." Li Junwen said.

"I also think it can be passed. Teacher Shi's strength is nothing to say, and he is good at drawing funny cartoons. However, I disagree with Team Leader Li. Under the leadership of "Steel Refining", the country has gradually become popular There was a wave of alien world, and other magazines also began to seek breakthroughs in the theme of alien world. Therefore, I think "Restaurant in Alien World" may be another big hit." Jia Hui flipped through the name and expressed his opinion .

It is said that serialization depends on the quality of the work. In fact, old authors also have the advantages of old authors.

Some novice authors questioned why old authors can not only get the favor of magazines, but also far surpass them in publicity and promotion.

In fact, empathy, it is not difficult to understand.

First of all, the old author is popular among readers, and after the booklet is released, sales will be guaranteed.

Secondly, due to their experience in writing novels, veteran authors are able to cope with emergencies. Comic creation is not a 100-meter race, but a marathon. Newcomers may not be able to guarantee the stability of the quality of their works due to reasons such as unstable mentality and lack of experience.

Sometimes, there is a problem with the author's mentality and he fails to adjust in time, and the story is likely to jump to the end.

Shi Yan is a veteran author with achievements. He has won the "Best Long-form Cartoon Award of the Year". He is the most popular cartoonist besides Wang Yunze, Shen Xin, and Ye Hexu.

Hook breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, when Mr. Shi was drawing this work, he deliberately bought a lot of food books, in order to bring readers a sense of reality."

"Since it is a different world, there will definitely be creatures that do not exist in reality. Moreover, different creatures, such as griffins and giant dragons, their meat quality cannot be cooked with ordinary kitchen utensils." Shang Haozhi stroked his beard.

"Editor-in-Chief, Mr. Shi didn't intend to draw these...he just wanted to draw a funny cartoon." Hook wondered.

"Oh... I didn't ask him to draw, I just said, leave a way for the setting. If it is not involved, let's not talk about it, and the readers will not know. If it is useful, it will not be in the setting In the event of conflicts, if the grades decline, there is a trump card. After all, it takes several years to draw a comic, and no one can tell what will happen later." Shang Haozhi explained.

Hook nodded slightly, this is true, don't dig a hole for yourself.
