Chapter 568: Advantages and Disadvantages of Daily Comics

Wang Wenhong raised his brows slightly. From his point of view, this comic is still ok. If it is allowed to pass, there will be no big problem.

Yan Fei directly denied... Isn't the requirement too strict?

Wang Wenhong glanced at Zuo Yuan, and his expression also showed surprise. After his face changed slightly, he took a deep breath, "Mr. Yan, if there are any shortcomings in this name, please tell me."

"The story is very flat, mainly relying on the little things that happened in school, which shows that you should have carefully considered the things in school, but, one thing, an excellent comic must have bright spots or selling points.

"The light style of this comic is also a selling point, but you have to be clear that there is more than one comic in Huaxia that has this style. Jumping out of the three major publications, there should be a lot of comics with this style."

"Yes, it's not impossible for you to choose this kind of cartoon, but I always feel that you are not ready." Wang Wenhong also interjected.

Yan Fei turned her head and stared at Wang Wenhong with cold eyes.

Knowing that Yan Fei was dissatisfied, Wang Wenhong immediately raised his hands, turned around helplessly, and was about to leave.

"Wait... this teacher, I want to ask, why do you say that?" Zuo Yuan quickly stood up and stopped Wang Wenhong.

"On the main thread." Wang Wenhong reminded, "She is your editor, let her speak."

Zuo Yuan looked at Yan Fei suspiciously.

Yan Fei rested her cheeks angrily, thought for a while, and then explained: "What he means is that this comic has no main line."

"Ah?" Zuo Yuan was taken aback, and then quickly said, "Even if there is no main line, I can still draw well..."

"That's not what he meant. It's actually very difficult to create comics without a main line. Long-form comics, even longer novels, will have a main line! The role of the main line is actually very obvious. It is to give readers expectations. By the way, I will tell you Readers, the following plot will be very exciting, let readers follow the comics to read.

"However, there is no main line in daily-oriented comics. It is basically composed of stories one by one, and each story is relatively independent. Even if you miss a certain issue or even a few issues and continue to read the comics, you will still feel that there is nothing missing. .This is the first feature of daily manga.

"The second feature lies in the creation. The problem he mentioned just now lies in this. The creation of daily cartoons is very difficult."

Seeing the puzzlement on Zuo Yuan's face, Yan Fei sighed.

In terms of long-form serialization, Zuo Yuan still has too little experience.

"Long-form serial comics want to attract people, they must have a wonderful plot, so that readers can feel the emotions of comic characters, that is, they can mobilize readers' emotions. In terms of emotions, it is not dominant, and if you want to have good grades, you have to spend a lot of thought on your name."

Zuo Yuan looked at the name on the table, a little disheartened.

I thought it was my proud work, but I didn't expect it to be full of loopholes.

Seeing Zuo Yuan's disappointed expression, Yan Fei knew that the beating was almost done, so she coughed lightly, "However, it's not like there is no chance of remedial action."

"Yes...is there?" Zuo Yuan looked at Yan Fei in surprise.

"How could it not be? Any kind of comics has the potential to be a big hit. Is Go a niche? Are there still comics with excellent results like "Soul of the Game"? Daily life is also a common theme,

The difficulty of creation is far less than that of "Soul of Chess". If there is no main line to attract the audience, then you use other methods. This is what I call 'the selling point of comics'. The story can take place in a strange place, the main character can be different, superhuman, or even non-human.

"Secondly, there is more than one way to mobilize emotions. You can use warmth to make readers feel peaceful, or humor and funny. When readers see such a plot, they can laugh it off. Use a 20-page or 40-page short story, to attract readers.

"Any subject matter can attract readers, but you must find the highlights of the story with your heart." Yan Fei said seriously.

Zuo Yuan suddenly became enlightened, and his eyes fell on the table again.

"By the way, let me remind you again that the completed draft of name must be handed in next week. In the next two weeks, draw more than 30 pages of the original manuscript. Otherwise, you will not be able to catch up with the New Year's Cup. If possible, See if you can put aside the work of the bookstore for a while, otherwise it will be too late." Yan Fei reminded.

"I will, thank you." Zuo Yuan took a deep breath, his face finally turned rosy.

After Yan Fei's guidance, Zuo Yuan's thoughts became clear.

After sending Zuo Yuan away, Yan Fei turned and returned to the editorial office. Xu Jie looked at Yan Fei in surprise, "Xiaoyan, what did you say to him, he seems very happy."

"Of course it's words of encouragement. Also, let him know why this work doesn't work." Yan Fei explained.

"I told him the same way before, why haven't I seen him so happy?" Xu Jie asked puzzled.

"Then you told him how to solve the problem?" Yan Fei asked back.

"I must have said..."

"That means your analysis is not thorough enough!"

"..."

Xu Jie felt a little regretful, what should I explain to her? Anyway, she is right.

At this time, there was a sudden ringtone from the landline in the editorial department.

People in the editorial department looked to the left and right, Shang Haozhi sighed, and muttered to himself, "It's those product companies who are asking about "Smelting Steel" again..."

The editors felt some sympathy for Shang Haozhi.

"Hello……"

"Come up here."

The speaker was Bao Jiyi.

Shang Haozhi was taken aback, "Oh, I see."

The others were at a loss, and it didn't look like that.

Shang Haozhi didn't quite understand what Bao Jiyi meant, so he left the editorial department full of doubts and came to Bao Jiyi's office.

After pushing open the door, he took a look inside the room. Bao Jiyi was sitting on the sofa on one side, and Long Tian, ​​the general manager of Longyao Animation, was sitting opposite him.

Why is Long Tian here?

Shang Haozhi was confused, turned around and closed the door, walked quickly to Bao Jiyi's side, nodded to Long Tian, ​​said hello, and looked at Bao Jiyi in confusion, "Boss Chairman, what's the matter?"

"Sit down and talk." Bao Jiyi pointed to the couch on one side, and after Shang Haozhi sat down, he brushed his hair again, "How is the recent sales of "Smelting Steel"?"

"It's okay, 600,000 copies have been sold, and there is one week left in this month. When the 14th volume of "Steel Refining" is released in November, it is estimated that the total monthly sales of "Steel Refining" should exceed 1.5 million copies."

"Sure enough, as long as a work like "Steel Refining" is released as an animation, it will definitely become a hit!" Long Tian continued.

"ah?"

The animation level of "Steel Refining" cannot be produced by any company, right?

Shang Haozhi said suspiciously.
