Chapter 414 Trying to Change
After seeing off Ji Yinxuan, Xi Muhan was depressed.
Shen Xin didn't understand, so after asking several times, Xi Muhan finally said: "Brother Xin, you will be very tired if you do this."
"No." Shen Xin shook her head, "Actually, you have also seen recently that the speed of creating comics has been much faster due to the use of digital screens, but sometimes, being fast is not a good thing. While increasing the speed, it will indeed affect some basic skills, so I want to get back the dip pen and draw some character designs."
"But it's okay to practice in private at ordinary times, isn't it?" Xi Muhan asked puzzled.
"First of all, the degree of seriousness of painting is different, and the quality of drawing practice drafts is not as good as that of official drafts. Second, I don't want to be bound by the current painting style."
"What do you mean?" Xi Muhan asked puzzled.
"That is to say, we must keep pace with the times. While consolidating the basic skills, we must also broaden the style of painting, because I will never know what type of comics will be next." Shen Xin said seriously.
Not to mention others, even Takeru Obata's painting style has been changing.
Takeshi Obata's previous drawings of "Super Mobile Grandpa G" and "Detective Puppeteer Detective Sokon" will not be mentioned for the time being. If you start with "Soul of Chess", the painting style of the front and back will be quite different. Another example is the style of painting in the later stage of "Soul of Chess", which is in the same line as the style of "death note", but the use of gray is more careful.
This style has been maintained until the early stage of "Dream Eater", and in the later stage of "Dream Eater", Takeshi Obata's painting style is more simplified.
Therefore, if a cartoonist does not always think about how to improve himself, he will be eliminated by the times sooner or later.
Even if it's Shen Xin... No, it's precisely because he has seen the ups and downs of many cartoonists and the ups and downs of internet masters that he has this feeling.
It is difficult for anyone to maintain a high level.
If he doesn't keep pace with the times, then sooner or later he will be caught up by the people behind.
He hates this feeling.
Xi Muhan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Xin asked curiously.
"Me?" Xi Muhan raised his head and looked at Shen Xin, "I was wondering if I was living too comfortably. From the beginning of writing, it has been going smoothly, but unconsciously, I have fixed my own style. "
"Do you want to make some changes?" Shen Xin asked.
"Do you want to change "The Country of Huai Huai"?"
"Of course not. The readers who bought "The Country of Huaihuai" will keep reading it because they like your style. Don't change "Guotu". Besides, changing rashly is not necessarily a good thing at first sight. To lay a solid foundation, read more related books." Shen Xin reminded.
No matter what it is, changing styles is always a risky business.
Some Internet authors who have made achievements on the earth will also be slammed for changing the type or style of the Internet. However, over time, some routines are fixed, and after a period of time, these routines will affect the author's development.
"Well, I see." Xi Muhan nodded.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Shen Xin scratched her head.
"What?" Xi Muhan blinked his big eyes and looked at Shen Xin puzzled.
"Xiaohan, I remember you are from the history department?" Shen Xin asked.
Xi Muhan nodded repeatedly.
"Have you studied the history of Europe and America?" Shen Xin asked.
"Learned."
"That's good. If I accept my sister's invitation, I may need some knowledge of European and American history. Please help me to read it. Please tell me in advance what information you need, and if it involves English, please translate it for me." Shen Xin said awkwardly.
Speaking of it, the foreign language is not good, which makes him very embarrassed.
When other people travel to a different world, they will have an advantage in language, either they can already know it, or they can learn a foreign language quickly. He doesn't take advantage of both, which is really a headache.
"Understood." Xi Muhan was secretly happy that he could finally help Shen Xin.
Shen Xin looked at Xi Muhan who was beaming with joy between his brows, confused, and asked twice,
Seeing that Xi Muhan didn't say anything, he had no choice but to give up, found out the dip pen and ink, and began to practice the feel of the g pen.
...
Wang Wenhong has been busy with vrille in recent days.
First, I left a private message with vrille, asking if he was the former "spiral" teacher.
Vrille was also very surprised, he didn't expect that someone knew about the "spiral", and then he admitted it straightforwardly.
"I am the responsible editor of "cic future", and I want to see you." Wang Wenhong left a message directly.
Vrille thought for a while, and agreed, and the two made an appointment to meet in a coffee shop on the weekend.
After finishing all this, Wang Wenhong took a deep breath, let go of things in his mind a little, and was just about to take a bath and sleep when Shen Xin called again.
"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, I've been busy with other things recently, so I have less time to find you." Wang Wenhong said with a smile.
"It's okay, I'm fine here too."
"After this period of time is over, I'll go find you for dinner..." Wang Wenhong said.
"No hurry, you help yourself first. I'm calling you because I want to talk to you about something. "
Um?
Wang Wenhong suddenly became nervous.
Not long ago, Wang Yunze decided not to serialize novels anymore. Jia Hui was five years older in an instant, and he still felt sorry for Jia Hui, but Shen Xin called again today, which made his heart hang again.
"What's the matter?"
"That's it. This afternoon, my senior sister—that is, Miss Ji Yinxuan—came to me and asked me to help design the character design of the game "God's Fall". After thinking about it, I think I can give it a try and tell you Take a moment. The contract does not restrict me to be a character designer for other companies, so it is not a breach of contract, right?" Shen Xin explained.
Um?
Wang Wenhong quickly sorted out Shen Xin's words.
First of all, Shen Xin did not say anything about "cic future" and "Steel Refining", which means that "Steel Refining" is a normal serialization. Secondly, Shen Xin wants to draw the character design of "God's Fall", and there is no competition with "cic future".
only--
"Are you busy?" Wang Wenhong asked back.
"No problem, I will figure it out myself." Shen Xin said.
Wang Wenhong scratched his head, he had something to say but didn't know how to say it.
The contract between Shen Xin and the magazine has been signed before, but he has never drawn a character design for a game company, this should be the first time.
Therefore, Shen Xin didn't need to tell him about it at all, the reason why she said that should be to avoid embarrassment later.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Wenhong pondered for a long time before deciding to call Shang Haozhi.
This is not a small report, but Shang Haozhi, as his boss, has the right to know about this matter, and it is impossible to hide this matter.
Instead of forcing Shang Haozhi to know, it is better to tell him in advance. In this way, it can be accepted by both him and Shen Xin.
After Shang Haozhi received Wang Wenhong's call, he was silent for a while, and finally said, "I see, you should work harder to ensure that the quality of "Smelting Steel" will not drop."
The most important thing for him to do now is to stop the loss.
Shen Xin has the right to design characters for the game, which is already stipulated in the contract. At the same time, because Shen Xin was designing the characters for "God's Arrival", he was unable to draw new comics in a short period of time. "Steel Refining" still needs to be serialized on "cic future", which is the most important thing.
"The Legend of the Dragon King" is coming to an end, and "cic future" can no longer lose other signature comics.
