Chapter 807 Details and Storyboards

"Actually, "Ding Shi" also has such a plot, but the effect is not very good." Xi Muhan struggled.

Since they draw food-related comics, of course they also have to refer to high-quality works of the same type. In this respect, District 11 does a better job and has some well-known gourmet comics.

In these comics, a similar technique was used, and they tried to use it once, but the readers did not approve.

Yan Fei nodded, she also had an impression of that time.

"I remember it was a tofu dish." Yan Fei asked.

"That's right. It's at the front of "Ding Shi"." Xi Muhan explained

After the two people said this, Shen Xin also remembered the situation at that time. He remembered that the dish made by the protagonist was "fish head tofu soup".

"I think... for your failure, the responsibility lies not with the method, but with the two of you."

Shen Xin doesn't know how to cook, and she doesn't hold back when she speaks.

After hearing Shen Xin's words, Xi Muhan pouted dissatisfiedly, but Lu Ning didn't make a sound, but the depression in his heart was also written on his face.

Shen Xin sighed, and said: "This is really your problem. First of all, the choice of ingredients is wrong. Everyone is familiar with the taste of ingredients such as tofu and fish heads. Even if you draw flowers, readers can't imagine changing to a fish head. The taste will be greatly improved. And don’t lower the IQ of the judges and teachers. What have they never eaten? As a result, if they eat a fish head and make a fuss, what will readers think of them?

“So, you start with things that the judges don’t see, like using a spice that’s more compatible with the ingredients, or putting a sauce on the surface of the ingredients … that can surprise the reader.

"In addition, when talking about the cooking process, there are two situations. What the audience or judges see is what the readers take for granted. I want to tell the judges the principle in a stripped-down version. This seems to be an exchange between the protagonist and the judges. In fact, it tells the readers that the protagonist has put a lot of thought into this dish. One change is not enough. It is best to have a dish. Four or five places is fine."

Hearing this, Xi Muhan frowned and looked depressed.

There are four or five obvious changes in a dish, and you still have to explain the principle? Uh, it probably involves botany and chemistry...

This requires her to have a clear understanding of the characteristics of each ingredient and the reason why the taste of the dish increases after the recipe is changed.

That is to say, there must be theoretical support.

Easier said than done.

Xi Muhan raised his cheeks thoughtfully.

"Be sure to let the protagonist use techniques that most readers can't think of, and finally use these contents to turn defeat into victory. This is cool. After that, it's Lu Ning's problem..."

Shen Xin took a deep breath and paused for a while, Lu Ning's heart immediately tightened.

"Your storyboard still can't express the emotions of the story to the maximum extent. Some places need to accumulate emotions, and some places need to let emotions explode. It all depends on the actual situation. When characters need to go out of line, when do they need to overlap? You must also have a clear understanding of the style. For you now, knowing how to use storyboards is no longer enough, you are now standing in the position of a pillar cartoonist, and you need to be stricter with yourself.”

As Shen Xin said, she stood up, then took out a copy of "Comic Future" and flipped to "Ding Shi".

This remark is about the chefs entering the arena one by one, the host is introducing the topic of the competition, and the readers in the surrounding stands have a heated discussion.

After reading it quickly, Shen Xin closed the magazine, picked up a pencil, quickly drew five pages of it on the white paper, and handed it over to Lu Ning.

"The nominative frame on each page is the focus of the entire comic. When readers see this page, they will consciously move their eyes to this frame. Whether this page can attract readers' attention is a big question The degree depends on the nominative case of the page.

For another example, some trapezoidal grids will put pressure on the reader's vision, and they need to know when to use them appropriately. I believe you know these storyboarding skills, the key is to use them to express the charm of the story. "

Lu Ning frowned, looking down at the bag in her hand.

Layout, composition, and mirroring are all the use of manga language. Shen Xin's words are more detailed, and she can hear the implication - she needs to improve in the use of manga language, otherwise, she might really be like Shen Xin. As Xin said, it will be difficult for her to surpass "Ding Shi" in the future.

Shen Xin talked a lot today.

At first, Xi Muhan and Lu Ning were still a little dissatisfied. After all, they were already well-known creators in the industry, but after Shen Xin said this, they thought about it.

And Lu Ning had a deeper understanding of Shen Xin's words.

These words are not profound, don't talk about her, some textbooks of a certain level on the market will cover them, but reading the textbooks and mastering them are completely two different things.

Even she can say some truths, but when it comes to actual operation, it's not the same thing.

What Shen Xin said to him was actually telling her that "Ding Shi" can continue to strengthen the expressiveness of the storyboard, and at the same time drew 5 pages, allowing her to compare it with the comics.

If she can get some insight from these few pictures, it is estimated that she will go to a higher level in terms of comics.

"By the way, Lu Ning, I have one more important thing to remind you." Seeing that Lu Ning was holding his painting like a treasure, Shen Xin couldn't help it, so she reminded her again.

"Huh?" Lu Ning looked at Shen Xin with a confused face.

"The few pages I drew are just examples. The same original work, handed over to different cartoonists, will draw different storyboards. My understanding of this plot is drawn on paper, and there are these five pages. What you want to express may not be the same as mine. Maybe, your understanding will be better in the future. Don't get into a dead end." Shen Xin warned.

"I see." Lu Ning nodded quickly, "Thank you, Teacher Shen, I seem to have gained some understanding of drawing comics."

"It's good if I can help you all." Shen Xin heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Xi Muhan again, "Xiaohan, your task is much heavier than that of Lu Ning, the story is the root of comics, and the basic points of "Ding Shi" are in your hands .”

For food, Shen Xin is really helpless. His understanding of this kind of comics is still limited to the few comics he has read in District 11.

"I see." Xi Muhan took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

It took a long time for Shen Xin to tell the story, so she had to spare some time to organize the conversation this afternoon.

The thinking may be clearer, but the creation is also more difficult.

Then again, the works created by the creators racking their brains may be more attractive to readers.

Thinking about it this way, Xi Muhan was full of energy again.

She will write scripts for Shen Xin in the future, so she must seize every opportunity to improve her strength.

Seeing the two of them going downstairs, Yan Fei also heaved a sigh of relief, "You are not bad as a teacher."

"I can't, I'll mislead my son." Shen Xin shook her head, "If it wasn't for Xiaohan's work, I wouldn't say so much. I also want her creative level to improve quickly."

Yan Fei raised her brows, Shen Xin's words were true, if it were someone else, he might not be able to spare such a long time.

"By the way, Mr. Shen, the final volume of "DN" will be released soon, and the first edition of the booklet will be 2 million copies."

Shen Xin rubbed her nose.

Two million copies... I don't know what kind of results "DN" can achieve, and I have some expectations.

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Shukeju
