Chapter 752: Gaps and Weaknesses

After officially going to work after the year, the editorial department of "Comic Future" has been busy.

The fifth issue of the magazine released a year ago sold 4.206 million copies. Before that, "Comic Future" had not reached this sales volume for a year.

In the seventh issue that followed, the magazine's sales soared to 4.42 million copies, and the sixth issue in the middle had only 4.092 million copies.

"Comic Future" can maintain more than 4 million copies, and there must be a batch of high-quality comics. However, the influence of "DN" on "Comic Future" is also clearly shown through the sales of these three issues of the magazine.

After the book came out, it was nearly 100 votes higher than the second place "Demon Way", and it also crushed other comics in the magazine.

Yu Chen's face finally showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he gained confidence when talking to the sales department.

Although "DN" was only serialized to the 33rd chapter, he told Yan Fei early on to prepare the dialogue from the 26th to the 34th chapter, and not to delay the printing of the 4th volume.

Jian Xiaomei felt a little sour in her heart, and immediately took a taxi to Ye Hexu's studio after get off work.

As soon as she opened the door of the studio, Jian Xiaomei saw the sketches all over the floor.

Needless to say, it must be drying the ink on the drawing.

At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the sun is not too strong. It’s okay to face the window directly. I’m afraid that when the temperature is high and the sun shines on the paper, if the quality of the ink is not good, it may fade.

Jian Xiaomei glanced at the drawing and found that the ink on it was dry, so she neatly packed the drawing in order.

Recently, the plot of "The Demonic Way" is also very good. Based on her experience, the quality of "The Demonic Way" is much higher than the early stage of "The Hunting Abyss".

In fact, if it weren't for "The Way of the Demon" chasing after him, Xiaoshu's rankings would have been long gone.

"DN"...

Thinking of "DN", Jian Xiaomei's heart will be sour.

It's not that she has any opinion on "DN", on the contrary, the recent big reversal of "DN" has completely "conquered" her, and she has also become a loyal reader of "DN" without knowing it.

so,

Rather than extreme, it is more envious.

Compared with "DN", "Yao Dao" lacks both the structure of the story and the arrangement of the plot.

Jian Xiaomei knows this, but she still hopes that "The Demonic Way" will not be left behind too much.

and……

Perhaps "Yao Dao" is not without a chance to surpass "DN", just like before.

Ye Hexu should have the same idea, right?

Otherwise, Teacher Ye would not have brought out a stack of drawn names when she came to the studio for the first time in a year.

"The second issue of the booklet." Jian Xiaomei explained.

"I know. The quality of the episode "DN" is very high. After laying the groundwork for so long, there is a turning point in this episode. As a reader, I also seem to enjoy it." Ye Hexu grinned, "To be honest , it is very difficult for any manga to surpass "DN" now."

"So sure?"

"Of course." Ye Hexu put down his pen, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and glanced at Jian Xiaomei, "This comic can attract authors like me, and it will be even harder for ordinary readers to resist its charm."

"Although this is the second manga drawn by Mr. Shen in a row, the structure of the story is already very complete, and the reversal in it is even more eye-catching. The name alone is already surprising. More importantly, there is It lies in Teacher Shen's painting skills."

"Painting skills?" Jian Xiaomei was taken aback.

For a comic, drawing skills are often put in the back, so Jian Xiaomei never expected that Ye Hexu would mention drawing skills.

"That's right." Ye Hexu squatted on the table, rummaged through a pile of waste papers, and finally found a drawing. At the same time, he opened "Comic Future" and turned to one of the pages, "This is what I saw before. After "DN" in the first chapter, compare the one-page sketch drawn, did you find any problems?"

What Ye Hexu imitated was the drawing on the last page of Chapter 33. Since there is a point in it that uses three-point perspective, the difficulty of drawing is not small.

However, for a top cartoonist like Ye Hexu, it is not difficult to draw such a composition. only……

"It looks a little weird." Jian Xiaomei stared at Ye Hexu's drawing, and suddenly realized, "I see, it should be because I am used to "DN" written by Mr. Shen."

When readers get used to the style of a cartoonist, it is difficult for readers to accept another cartoonist's style in a short time.

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Hexu looked helpless, "What I want to talk about is not these, it's about painting skills, understand?"

After Ye Hexu emphasized again, Jian Xiaomei once again set her eyes on the screen.

If you want to talk about the gap between the two pictures...

Because it is an imitation, the composition and storyboard are the same. And then...

"Line? No, it should be said that from the line, to the handling of light and shadow, to the control of proportion, uh... and the expression of expression, especially the expression of Rick, there is a gap."

At first, Jian Xiaomei just thought that the reason why she felt uncomfortable was because she was familiar with Shen Xin's painting style. Now it seems that it is not that simple. It should be that after getting used to Shen Xin's painting style, she suddenly saw Ye Hexu's painting style The painted moon and sulfur grams are incongruous in details.

Looking at the manuscripts drawn by Ye Hexu alone, there is no big problem, but after comparing them, the gap emerged.

"That's right." Ye Hexu sighed, "Although I'm very upset, but I can't do anything about it. Teacher Shen's drawing skills are basically "Comic Future"... No, among domestic cartoonists, the best. If you are not used to this kind of drawing, you will be overwhelmed with energy, and if my guess is correct, the time to draw a single page of "DN" should be much longer than that of "Y's".

"For general comics, drawing skills are not the most important, but when drawing skills reach a very high level, it cannot be ignored."

"Then what should I do?" Jian Xiaomei was a little nervous, afraid that Ye Hexu would give in, "You shouldn't be afraid, right?"

"How is it possible? In fact, even "DN" will have weaknesses." Ye Hexu became energetic when he said this.

Jian Xiaomei looked puzzled.

"The next plot will definitely slow down, and there won't be a big climax in a short time." Ye Hexu stretched his muscles.

"Are you sure?" Jian Xiaomei asked in surprise.

"Sure. Now, L has caught Haisha. If I'm not mistaken, the next big tide, either L will die, or Haisha... No, the probability of L's death is very high. Once, if L dies in a short time If Nei dies, then this reversal is meaningless. Therefore, there may be small ups and downs in the next episode, but the really exciting part should be related to L's fate. Before that, I still have a chance .” Ye Hexu bared his teeth and smiled.

"Huh..." Jian Xiaomei's face softened, "You don't scare me to be unhappy, do you?"

"Wrong, I really didn't scare you. Even if the plot calms down, Teacher Shen's painting skills will not change, and the pressure...is still very high." Ye Hexu sighed, and the smile on his face disappeared.
