Chapter 657: Light Novels and Comics

Yan Fei was a little worried, so Shen Xin could only continue to persuade: "Sister Yan, it's fine. I have a plan in mind."

"I think you're out of ideas!" Yan Fei frowned, looking anxious, "I can't say something clearly, but I still want to remind you that your next work is very important!"

Seeing that Yan Fei was worried about herself, Shen Xin felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

The next comic is a work that he must be cautious about.

As he and Wang Wenhong said, what he wants to do is to jump out of the circle of cartoonists. He doesn't want to sway other people, but he doesn't want to be bound by those rules either.

Since I want to stand out and be different, I naturally have to use my works to speak. "DN" is in a very good position in terms of overall quality and topicality of comics.

But Yan Fei didn't know the plot of "DN", and Shen Xin couldn't prove it to Yan Fei in a short time. After all, the task of "Smelting Steel" was quite heavy.

"Sister Yan, actually, I really attach great importance to this comic, but I still have "Smelting Steel" in my hand, so I can only draw it first. After it is finished, I plan to test the waters with short stories. If the feedback is good, I will use this as a basis to draw a comic, and if it is not accepted by readers, I will switch to other types of works." Shen Xin said seriously.

"Short...short story?"

Yan Fei opened her mouth slightly, her face full of surprise.

Wang Wenhong laughed helplessly. Yan Fei's reaction when she heard that Shen Xin wanted to draw a short story was somewhat similar to his back then. But he is no longer Shen Xin's editor in charge, so what the magazine considers has nothing to do with him, he only cares about the income of the work.

There is no doubt that if Shen Xin wants to draw evil manga, it is really necessary to try the water, but for the magazine, this is likely to be superfluous and even harmful.

A short story needs to express a complete story, and all the foreshadowing and all the baggage must be reflected in dozens of pages.

This is not the case for long stories, whether it is foreshadowing or burden, and even some small or small pits, all need space to design.

The short story is to "squeeze water" into the comics, and each frame must express as much meaning as possible, expressing the center in a concise and concise manner; paint a whole new world. In serial comics, the creator emphasizes the layout and control over the work.

Some long comics are in the later stage,

It will make readers feel that the plot is very scattered. In fact, it is because the author has insufficient control over the work.

Although both are comics, they think in different directions.

More importantly, short stories are too accidental.

A brain hole cannot support a full-length comic, but it can support a short comic.

Counting from her debut, Shen Xin has only drawn one short story "Equation of Love", and Yan Fei was also the editor in charge at that time.

This... must be a coincidence, right?

Yan Fei rubbed her forehead, pondered for a while, and finally nodded slightly, "I respect Teacher Shen's meaning, but I still have to say that this is not a wise choice. If your short story wins a few of the same period, it will make people I feel that victory is invincible; if I lose, it is equivalent to becoming a stepping stone for others..."

"A stepping stone?" Shen Xin rubbed her nose and smiled.

I also want to see who can use "DN" as a stepping stone in China.

"Yan Fei, you are right, but if Mr. Shen's short stories are really surpassed by others, it means that the long-form comics created on this basis are likely to 'overturn'. We can try our best to avoid risks. Even short stories It's not a big deal to be surpassed by others, it's better than spending a few years drawing a mediocre manga. By then, the popularity that Mr. Shen has accumulated with great difficulty will be wiped out, and the headache will be even worse."

Too……

After all, Yan Fei is still a little puzzled by Shen Xin's choice of evil comics, and only hopes that there will be a market for new works.

Shen Xin didn't doubt whether "DN" could become a big hit, because its average sales volume was also famous in the history of District 11, so it should be able to rise in China as well.

The four chatted briefly again, and Wang Wenhong remembered something.

"By the way, Yan Fei, I recently used the "ic Future" app, and found that you seem to have added some light into it."

"Oh, that's right. This is Mr. Shang's application to "Qichuang Library." Yan Fei explained.

"Boss Shang is also cruel, but how to divide the expenses?" Wang Wenhong asked puzzled.

"It is said that it is very low. Basically, the light income belongs to "Qichuang Library"."

"Why?" Wang Wenhong looked puzzled.

"Attract readers?" Yan Fei said casually, "However, Mr. Shang didn't mention how to follow up, so there are different opinions in the editorial department. Some people think that the main body of the app is comics after all. Some are nondescript, not to mention, "Qichuang Library" is not as popular as the fire."

light...

Shen Xin grinned and shook her head slightly.

"I'm afraid, the purpose of "ic Future" is not to increase revenue for the novels of "Qichuang Library", but to find the most popular novels and make manga changes, right?"

"Eh?"

Wang Wenhong was taken aback for a moment, and as soon as he realized it, Xi Muhan suddenly realized: "Wait, isn't this the model of "Guotu"?"

Her light has also been changed into comics, so I am very familiar with this mode.

"That's right, that's it." Shen Xin gave Xi Muhan a thumbs up, "Each chapter of Qing has a lot of content, and there are illustrations in Qing, which makes it easy for readers to feel involved."

Illustrations and comics seem similar, and the focus of the paintings are two-dimensional characters, but strictly speaking, there is still a difference between the two.

The drawing skill of a cartoonist is similar to the writing style of the Internet, of course it is best to have it. If not, if the story is interesting, the impact is not much, just enough.

One's simple painting skills can still create works such as "One Punch Man" and "Psychic 100%". When Isayama drew "Giant", his painting skills are usually not good, but the sales of "Giant" It is something that many cartoonists cannot achieve in their lifetime.

Illustrators, on the other hand, rely on gorgeous paintings to attract readers. That's why there is a saying that "buy a painting and get toilet paper free".

This model first appeared in District 11. Later, some people in Huaxia began to imitate it, but only a small number of extremely outstanding light novels had a chance to be successfully adapted. "Guotu" is a typical example-"Crime Punishment" is actually the same, it's just a comic After it came out, Su Han published it.

Although Huaxia is not yet popular, it should be a future trend to lightly adapt comics. Because this model has an advantage that traditional comics do not have-the cost of judging whether a work has potential is very low. The serial manga will be cut in half at the fastest, and it will take about 10 episodes. During this period, the author has to pay the assistant, and at the same time, the cartoonist also needs to devote himself full-time and whole-heartedly.

A light author is a person, a computer, who can create at any time, and does not need to be full-time.

If the lightness is certain and obvious, like "Guotu", the possibility of comics hitting the streets will be greatly reduced.
