Chapter 859: Xifeng

"Okay, here's the new one."

A young man with dark skin and rough facial features handed a book of more than 20 pages to Xu Jie with both hands.

Xu Jie took it and looked through it carefully.

It is a manga jointly created by newcomer light novelist Xifeng and cartoonist Han Ye. It tells the story of a poor protagonist who, through self-study knowledge, enters a higher school and changes his destiny.

One of the highlights of the whole novel is the combination of magic and science, especially the combination of alchemy, chemistry, and medicine, which has caught the eyes of many readers.

The fusion of magic and the world only constitutes the world view of the entire comic, and the fighting is also ingenious.

The essence of the so-called magic is that electrons jump and release energy, thereby emitting light of various colors, releasing heat and energy, which is also related to physics.

Xu Jie himself came from a liberal arts background and knew nothing about physics and chemistry. His own understanding of this comic and the setting of the whole world made him feel fresh.

Say it's a completely new genre, right? In fact, this is not necessarily the case. In Europe, there are some novels related to the academy. In those novels, the protagonists or villains also use magic, and at the same time, they also live in the current social civilization.

However, this aspect is described in more detail and some reasons are explained.

However, this way of writing also has obvious shortcomings, that is, Xifeng himself is a liberal arts student, and he doesn't know much about physics and chemistry. .

Not to mention Han Ye, who graduated from an American school and has been working in comics for so long, his understanding of science has degraded to a blank slate.

Surrounded by three people like this, it is almost impossible to prevent any mistakes in the setting of this comic.

But it is also a brain-hole comic, and logic is not the most important thing. What readers want to see is how the protagonist will use magic and science under such a setting.

To put it more bluntly, what readers want to see the most when reading this comic is actually how the author uses magic to explain science.

Xu Jie will have a quick look at it, and there is generally no problem.

"It's really amazing. It's only been half a year. You can draw such a qualified painting. Teacher Han Ye's pressure will be much easier." Xu Jie sighed again and again.

"You can't say that... The reason why I can improve so fast now is thanks to Teacher Han Ye. Moreover, this is just a sketch. Teacher Han will definitely revise the storyboard." There is a trace of pride.

Xu Jie nodded slightly.

Xifeng was right. Compared with Xifeng's work a few months ago, it has really improved a lot, but if it is handed over to Han Ye, Han Ye will still have to draw it again.

In District 11, many of the original works are cartoonists themselves. They have their own understanding of the storyboards of the comics. However, even so, the cartoonists who wrote the creations still have to make changes in many places when they get the storyboards. Needless to say, Xifeng who started learning from scratch.

Among the original works Xu Jie knows, Xi Muhan should be the one with the highest quality storyboards. Basically, hers can be directly used as storyboards. But this is also related to Xi Muhan's own talent, and with the help of Yan Fei, it is possible to achieve this step.

Therefore, in this regard, there must be a gap between Xifeng and Xi Muhan.

However, being able to rank among the top five in the small book shows that his own quality is not bad.

Thanks to Yu Chen's thought of this method, he still kept three excellent works and kept the magazine's sales at around 3 million copies.

"Mr. Xifeng, there is one more thing. The editor-in-chief asked me to inform you." Xu Jie saw Xifeng sitting at the computer desk ready to type, and said softly, "Now, the company intends to make a comic change on Qingyue."

"Yeah!?"

Xifeng quickly raised his head with a happy expression on his face.

For Xifeng, the reputation is even higher, but this is the work of both him and Han Ye, but it belongs to him entirely.

The results have nothing to do with Han Ye,

It was he who made the novel come alive.

"That's right. Now, , ranks in the top two on the hit list. The first volume of the booklet has sold 280,000 volumes, and the second volume of the booklet has also sold 150,000 volumes. The company has great expectations for ."

"That's good... I thought the manga would be possible only after five or six volumes of the booklet debut?" Xifeng sneered.

"Opportunity, Qingyuehe wants to vigorously develop online light novels, which just meets the requirements of the magazine. It is estimated that when the single book is published in the fourth volume, the animation will also start."

"I've already written it." Xifeng quickly raised his hand.

"It's useless." Xu Jie shook his head, "The role of animation is to promote the booklet. Now, the booklet has only published two volumes. Let's put it this way, the content of the first two booklets is enough to make a season series, or even a half-year series. But After the broadcast, so what? There are only a few single volumes of the novel, and the income to the magazine will not be too high, so the production should start on the fourth or fifth volume. However, even if Production, there may only be one season, please be mentally prepared."

Except for particularly excellent light novels, lightly modified animations often don't have too many episodes.

Originally, it was just to sell books. Many light novels will be finished before the second season comes out.

"I know." Xifeng smiled, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But even if he has some achievements, he is still a rookie and doesn't have much right to speak.

"Wait for my good news? The manga... should be written by a manga artist. His drawing skills are very good, so he shouldn't waste this novel."

"Is there nothing better?" Xifeng asked.

"There shouldn't be any great cartoonists in China... right now?" Xu Jie shook his head.

"I know there is." Xifeng said firmly.

"Yes?" Xu Jie scratched his head, recalled for a long time, and said, "Could you mean Teacher Shen Zheng? Impossible."

Xu Jie waved his hands quickly.

What level of manga is it? How could it be possible to invite Shen Zheng?

"Brother Xu, don't be joking. I mean, Mrs. Lu...she shouldn't be drawing manga either, right?" Xifeng reminded.

"Ah?" Xu Jie took a breath and looked at Xifeng, "How do you know her?"

"I've seen it more or less...and I also know that she is a beautiful cartoonist." Xifeng was caught off guard, "It's easier to cooperate."

"May I ask for you? But, don't get your hopes up too much. She is worth about the same as Teacher Han Ye. You probably won't be able to invite her," Xu Jie reminded.

"Just ask me, what if she agrees?" Xifeng nodded, glanced at the screen again, his expression suddenly became tense, "By the way, I want to ask, and I have been browsing the click list ranking No. One, the editorial department... how will the company treat it?"

Now, it has just been serialized to Chapter 19, and the comments below the novel have reached 30,000, which is almost as many as that, but the number of words is nearly one million, which makes him feel pressured. Is this novel really so good?

"No plans."

"Eh?" Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then muttered to himself, "It's also...too few words."

"It has nothing to do with the word count." Xu Jie shook his head, "This novel has not been signed."
