Chapter 850 Light Reading and Novels

Shen Xin has indeed not used a dip pen for a long time.

Mainly because the digital screen is so convenient, no need to dip in ink, no need to get your hands dirty. Partial zoom-in can make some details more refined, and at the same time, it is easy to modify. Even if the operation is wrong, as long as there is a backup, there is no need to worry about redrawing a copy, which greatly improves the speed and efficiency.

The dip pen also has its function. The real pen pressure brought by the contact between the paper and the pen tip is unmatched by the digital screen. What's more, most of the drawing skills shown by cartoonists on the digital screen are also practiced on paper.

Shen Xin also needs to change his style now. Takehiko Inoue's painting style is more realistic. If he wants to reach that level, he probably has to work hard.

The good thing is that Shen Xin's basic skills are very solid, and he is now known for his good drawing skills, and he has the blessing of manga capsules. It is difficult to change the style of painting, but it will not be difficult for Shen Xin.

Now, Shen Xin has two other headaches, the character's movements and the storyboard.

Basketball, or to be more specific, sports comics have high requirements for character movements. Because there are some movements that readers also use when playing basketball or football, they know whether these movements can use force.

Inoue Takehiko referred to a lot of professional basketball moves when he drew "" and attentive readers can even find the prototype, such as the scene where Hanamichi Sakuragi flies to save the ball, which is exactly the same as Rodman's dive. Of course, Takehiko Inoue also paid a considerable amount of copyright fees for this.

When Shen Xin draws comics, she also refers to some photos to practice the movements of the characters.

In case the actions in the photos, or the scenes of "" need to be used to overlap with some photos in reality, Shen Xin will also pay the fee.

As for the storyboard——

The original source of storyboards in comics is the storyboards of movies. Watching a lot of movies can help improve the imagination of cartoonists. Shen Xin also insists on watching basketball live broadcasts every day to find out the feeling of storyboards.

However, for Shen Xin, although these are more difficult, he still has enough time - as long as he has time, many things can be changed.

"By the way, the script of "Steins;Gate"...how is your preparation?" Shen Xin turned her head and asked.

The novel of "Stone Gate" is actually based on animation, so there are a lot of backgrounds that need to be perfected, and the text of the game, from the setting to the game plot, to the branch plot, these contents add up, I don't know how heavy it is. Xin wrote the novel, how much more.

"What else can I do?" Xi Muhan pouted, pulled up a chair and sat down, "Remedial lessons... I read it roughly, I don't need to know too much about this area of ​​physics knowledge, at most I can use formulas or something, There is no need to even explain the meaning of the letters of the formula. However, the knowledge must be broad, for example, you must know something about cosmic ray theory and wormhole theory.”

The latter two theories were told by Shen Xin to Xi Muhan. In the game, Hong Liqi mentioned 11 hypotheses about time jumps, including cosmic ray theory and wormhole theory.

The novel uses the plot of the animation, there is no need for these, as long as the story is clearly told. But the game can't be like this, it needs a lot of text to support the length of the game, in view of this, starting from the setting, Xi Muhan has to prepare carefully.

"Well, it's nothing to discuss with Senior Sister and Sister Yan, and you need to worry a lot." Shen Xin took a soup spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth. The rich chicken soup flowed along the tongue coating to all parts of the mouth, feeling like saying no. Comes out delicious.

"I know." Seeing the joy on Shen Xin's face, Xi Muhan became happy, "Brother Xin, now, do you know the results of "Stones;Gate" on light reading?"

"I do not know what happened?"

Shen Xin shook his head, since he handed over this matter to Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"It's very popular in Qingyue. For the time being, Sister Yan will update it, and update a chapter every day. Now it has risen to the first place in Qingyue's hit list."

"Ah?" Shen Xin blinked.

Rising to number one?

This...is it too fast?

Xi Muhan saw Shen Xin was puzzled,

Explained: "Right now, "Steins;Gate" updates a chapter every day, and the number of words in each chapter is more than 10,000 words, which is very attractive to readers."

"..."

A large amount can fill you up.

In Shen Xin's mind, a word popped out first.

When Shen Xin was still writing online articles, I heard someone say, "Quality is not enough, quantity is enough".

Of course, this is not to say that novels with a large number of updates are of poor quality, but that novels with a large number of updates are more likely to attract readers and have better cohesion.

Apparently, it's the same in another world.

"Xiaohan, have you installed the Qingyue app on your phone?" Shen Xin looked up at Xi Muhan.

"Yes." Xi Muhan immediately handed the phone to Shen Xin.

It has been two or three years since Qingyue's app came out, but Shen Xin has never used it, and never thought that one day she would download this app.

The reason is very simple. Internet light novels have just started, and the quality is not too high. When Shen Xin was on Earth, she had read countless novels and most of the routines. The quality is completely inferior to online novels, so Shen Xin has no motivation to read on.

In fact, this is also the case. Shen Xin opened Qingyue's app and quickly browsed a few novels that were relatively high-ranked. How should I say it? The level is about ten years behind web novels, right?

As for "Steins;Gate", it really ranks first, and there are already thousands of comments below the novel.

Shen Xin casually opened a comment, and there were dozens of replies in it.

"Which great god is this novel, since there are so many illustrations?"

"Another? I don't think you've seen this novelist before?"

"I've also read this novel. The writing style is mediocre, and it's not as good as the other masters. The fact that it can stand in the first place has something to do with its illustrations. One thing to say, this illustration, on Qingyue's website, Should no painter be able to achieve it?"

"The price of this painting is at least five figures. Just count how many coloring pages there are in this novel."

"It's a waste of money! Such a good coloring page is actually given to this novel... If it is paired with those light novels with brilliant literary talents, those novels will be published, and even animations may be made!"

When Shen Xin saw these messages, a black thread appeared on her face.

After all, he has written novels with millions of words, the rhythm of the story, the control of the plot, when to pour water, and when to do a little work...all of these are clear.

His writing style may not be as good as those published novels, but it is better than most of the light novels serialized on the Internet, right?

Seeing these comments on the Internet, Shen Xin felt very helpless.
