Chapter 535: Coloring Page and Surprise

When the three of them heard Yan Fei's words, they had different expressions.

Today, these two comics are undoubtedly the top two in the comics industry, and, with their respective characteristics, they respectively squeezed into the top ten most searched.

""Smelting Steel" is still behind "Age of the Gods"." Wang Wenhong was a little depressed. He turned on his phone at the same time and searched for the popularity rankings of the two comics. "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"The heat value between the two is only 80,000 left..." Wang Wenhong quickly turned his head to look at Shang Haozhi, "I remember just now... when we came here, there was still a difference of 100,000, right?"

Shang Haozhi was also surprised at first, and then his face showed joy.

Although I don't know the reason for the rise, the popularity value can rise, which shows that the quality of "Steel Refining" is higher than that of "Age of the Gods".

"I may know the reason. The popularity of "Steel Refining" may be even higher." Yan Fei said suddenly after browsing through Weibo posts related to "Steel Refining".

"Sister Yan, what's the reason?" Shen Xin was also curious.

"Don't forget that compared with web comics, magazines have a lag. In other words, the popularity of web comics may reach the peak in a short period of time. But magazines are different, because readers have to go to bookstores to buy, and they have to Facing the possibility of being sold out, I turned to other bookstores. Even if I bought a book, I still read it at school or at home. If I don’t have a mobile phone at hand, I can’t give feedback in time.

"These reasons lead to a result. The popularity of "Smelting Steel" is not as fast as that of "Age of Gods", but it lasts longer than "Age of Gods."

"The popularity of "Smelting Steel" is closely following that of "Age of the Gods". Considering the lag, it shouldn't have such a high popularity." Shang Haozhi was a little confused.

Yan Fei was about to explain, when Wang Wenhong suddenly snapped his fingers, "I understand."

Um?

The eyes of the others immediately turned to Wang Wenhong.

Wang Wenhong pushed the frame and smiled, "The 'adhesion' of "Smelting Steel" is higher than that of "Age of the Gods."

"Stickness?"

Shen Xin is very familiar with this word.

Simply put, how many readers can a book attract. If we take online novels as an example, with the same number of collections, the more people who subscribe, the higher the stickiness of the book and the higher the quality.

If we go back to "Steel Refining", it means that there are many readers who buy "Steel Refining" and follow up on "Steel Refining". The publication of this chapter made many readers analyze the entire plot, and some even began to look back at the details that had been overlooked.

This is the "adhesion" of the work, and ordinary works cannot achieve this effect.

Shen Xin agrees with Wang Wenhong's explanation, even if it is him, there will be some things that he did not understand. But with the drawing of the manga, those doubts were gradually solved.

The more I understand, the more I admire Aunt Niu's talent.

"Compared with "Smelting Steel", "Age of the Gods" still has a big disadvantage, that is, it only has three episodes, and it has no depth. After watching it, there is no way to recall the previous plot. But "Steel Refining"." Wang Wenhong's voice stopped abruptly, he sighed, and then said in a low voice, "Thinking of this, I feel that it is a pity. If the electronic version of the previous chapters can be provided, it is estimated that the sales of the electronic version will also be very high. high."

Shang Haozhi frowned, and he was also very dissatisfied with the high-level decision.

However, as the magazine's executives said, the revenue of the app and "ComicFuture" affect each other, which is indeed a big problem.

"By the way, Mr. Shen, isn't your coloring page finished?" Wang Wenhong remembered the purpose of coming here this time.

"Wanna see?"

"En." Wang Wenhong nodded seriously.

Shen Xin got up and came to the workbench. Three people followed him and leaned over.

A colored draft was displayed on the screen, with several stone statues drawn on it.

In the middle of the stone statue is the standing "Father", with his arms outstretched, and his fat sleeves make him look like a savior. And on the wall behind him,

The human body engraved with Kessel Kesaisi formed an array.

Edward, Al, and Yao Lin rushed towards "Master Father" with various actions, Gratoni rubbed his stomach, and Wayne looked at the three of them who rushed over with disdain.

The layering of the composition is exceptionally clear, not to mention the movements and expressions of the characters. After all, this is the color picture that Shen Xin made after staying up for several consecutive nights. There must be no flaws in this aspect.

What surprised the three of them was Shen Xin's basic skills, use of color, and light and dark arrangement in this coloring page.

Drawing such a stone painting is a test of the author's sketching skills. If you can't sketch, you can't grasp the proportions, movements, and expressions of the human body, and you won't be able to draw such a shocking effect.

Since the whole painting is embodied in the form of stone statues, there is only one color for the characters, costumes and background. Shen Xin chose gold here, and readers saw it at first glance, as if the stone statue was bathed in sunlight.

The folds of the clothes and the look of the characters use highlights, reflections, black, white and gray to make transitions, and the sense of hierarchy is extremely distinct.

Although it is monochromatic, it brings great impact and shock to people's vision. Coupled with the faint golden layer, the whole picture is full of gorgeous feeling.

"Mr. Shen... this painting... is amazing."

Wang Wenhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

No one in "ComicFuture" can match this kind of drawing skills. Even top professional illustrators have to spend a lot of effort to draw this kind of effect.

Shang Haozhi looked away from the coloring page, and the shock brought by the picture still lingered in his heart.

"Mr. Shen, this painting of yours is not a problem for Wang Yunze. Your goal is all cartoonists in China, right?" Shang Haozhi turned his head to look at Shen Xin.

"Uh... I didn't think so much..." Shen Xin scratched her head, "I just wanted to draw a coloring page that can reflect my painting skills, that's all."

The same is true.

When Shen Xin drew this coloring picture, he thought of Takeshi Obata's style of drawing coloring pages, and the idea of ​​this coloring page came from the cover of the twelfth volume of "DeathNote".

Shang Haozhi tried his best to calm himself down. This picture will not only satisfy the readers, but other cartoonists may also feel pressured.

"When are you going to release this picture?"

"After today? I think the popularity of "Steel Refining" has a chance to turn around today." Shen Xin touched his chin. According to the analysis of Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei, "Steel Refining" has the possibility of overtaking, not to mention, he I also have confidence in "Smelting Steel".

There are still four hours left, and there is a gap of 60,000 in the popularity of the two comics, which may not be invincible.

Wang Wenhong saw Shen Xin with a calm face, and his heart calmed down, "The deadline for the bet between Mr. Shen and Chairman Bao is on the night of the 7th. No matter what the result is today, we must have a chance."

Shen Xin shook her head slightly, smiled without saying a word.

On Earth, there is a saying called "Slaying the Gods and Proving the Way". If an author wants to be recognized by other authors and readers, he must win enough opponents.

Shen Xin does not take the initiative to pursue "slaying gods to prove the way", and after the end of "Smelting Steel", he will not be too far away from Wang Yunze, but he is also curious whether such a situation really exists.
