Chapter 883: First Talk
Ji Yinxuan was in charge of the booklet, and Shen Xin only made her own request.
After telling the game and the novel separately, there is only one copyright left in front of everyone-animation.
Usually, the role of animation is to cooperate with the promotion of manga or light novels.
Lu Ning's light novel has already been completed. Logically speaking, animation can be used for publicity and promotion, but Lu Ning still needs to draw comics. Whether these two points will conflict is also a point of contradiction.
Also, on Earth, the animation is after the game, but now that the novels have been published, the environment this work faces is completely different from Earth.
In addition, comics will also be serialized, which will create a situation-the three are likely to exist at the same time for a certain period of time. Whether readers will repel it because of its frequent appearance is also a problem to be considered.
If it was an ordinary animation, Shen Xin might give up, but it is obviously not this type, but a masterpiece of high quality, and it is also extremely popular in Europe.
Shen Xin would not agree to give up animations of this quality.
Several people discussed the animation for a while, and finally decided to postpone the animation to a later date, and release it when the manga is about to end or after the end, paving the way for the launch of the game.
As for the serialization of the comics, Lu Ning also has her own plans. When she draws the comics, she doesn't plan to hire assistants.
The platform she chooses is the Internet, which does not receive as much attention as magazines, but the online platform also has advantages, the update time does not need to be fixed, she can update once a month or double, this way, she will have time to polish her painting skills .
After all the comics are drawn, she should have a qualitative leap in both drawing skills and storyboarding.
Shen Xin also expressed her understanding of Lu Ning's choice.
Thirty years old is the prime time for a cartoonist. Whether it is experience or health, it can achieve a very good balance.
After a few more years, experience will continue to increase, but physical fitness will decline, and it will be difficult to have the energy to stay up all night like young people.
Lu Ning wants to work hard to improve her own level. This is almost her last chance. In the future, even if she is willing, her energy and physical strength may not be able to keep up.
"That's fine, but I have a worry. If there is no supervision and restraint, it is easy to have lazy cancer." Shen Xin worried.
Lazy cancer, in simple terms, just doesn't want to do things, and there is no cure, just like an old thief who concentrates on playing mahjong and puts aside the update of comics.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Yan Fei took the opportunity to say, "I will press the manuscript."
It's not the first time Yan Fei has done the matter of urging manuscripts.
"In that case, please trouble Sister Yan."
Although Shen Xin paid Yan Fei's salary, if Yan Fei wanted to be Lu Ning's editor, he would support her with both hands.
As for the reason, besides the manga he wanted to see, there was another reason. She was good at work and wasted at play. If she was only in charge of one work, her improvement would definitely be limited.
In the future, Shen Xin may have to touch on some unfinished works. At that time, the level of editing will be very critical.
Shen Xin must keep Yan Fei in good shape, so that everyone will not be in a hurry.
For this reason, Shen Xin felt that no matter whether Yan Fei or Wang Wenhong was the editor in charge of other people, or whether the two of them went to study together, it was all for future planning.
When mentioning the future, Shen Xin suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, you two...how are you?" Shen Xin's eyes moved to Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei.
"Huh? That...it's okay, we're finalizing the time." Wang Wenhong scratched his head.
"Hurry up. Otherwise, you won't have time for your honeymoon." Shen Xin reminded.
Wang Wenhong's expression tightened, and he aimed his gaze at Yan Fei. Yan Fei turned her head, and her dimples suddenly became a little rosy.
All kinds of things, after everyone's discussion, were finalized one by one, and even the figurines were discussed in more detail. Next, it depends on how Ji Yinxuan operates.
Shen Xin took the time to code it out, he didn't want to be delayed by other things when he was concentrating on serializing.
The next morning, after receiving Ji Yinxuan's reply, Kong Xian made a special trip to discuss with Ji Yinxuan about the publication of the novel.
For Kong Xian's sudden visit, Ji Yinxuan was a little surprised. There are five magazines with the copyright of Italian novels, and they are the strongest, so they should be the least worried. But judging from the current situation, it seems that this is not the case.
After taking Kong Xian to the office, Ji Yinxuan asked Charlotte to bring two cups of tea. After the two sat down, she asked, "I thought you would come over later."
"It's a novel I've always liked, and I've always wanted to contact another teacher, but I haven't received a formal reply from him."
Actually, there was an answer, but Kong Xian would never say the word "not interested".
"It's you, why did you contact him all of a sudden?"
Having said this, Kong Xian felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Actually, you have misunderstood him, and he has reasons for doing so."
"What?"
"What is Teacher Another's Weibo introduction? Do you know?"
"A light novelist out of interest?" Kong Xian recalled the Weibo she had read, but she wasn't too sure.
"Yeah, since it's 'interested', his mind is definitely not on the novel. Publishing a single book requires repeated proofreading and revision by the editor and the author, and he doesn't have the time. Otherwise, he would not entrust me with the contract negotiation of the novel.
"I think he should have given you a reply before, maybe you didn't pay attention to it, but from his point of view, there are more than one magazine agency that approached him, and each magazine agency asked him many times, and he also There is no way to respond one by one. Besides, readers also leave him private messages, and he really can't read it."
Facing Ji Yinxuan's answer, Kong Xian blushed.
At the very beginning, another gave the answer, "not interested", and she kept asking.
There must be a part of her in those private messages.
"So, what does another teacher mean?"
"I can give it to you, but there are two conditions. First of all, he will not participate in the proofreading and revision of the novel. Everything will be handled by you. However, if it is revealed by netizens that there are key foreshadowings or details are deleted, the contract will be terminated. This is more important. , Another teacher suggested that this should be written in the contract."
Kong Xian was taken aback. The revision of novels is a relatively cumbersome matter. The author does not participate in it, but leaves everything to the magazine. It is not without precedent. It's just that doing so will increase the workload of the editor.
However, considering the length, no matter whether it is revised or not, it should be two volumes. The safest way is to only correct typos and wrong sentences, and leave the rest unchanged. Perhaps readers should also accept it.
But in this way, there are high requirements for the illustrations of the booklet, and the decoration must be more refined.
Fortunately, the coloring pages of another and Lu Ning are very good, so she doesn't have to worry about the coloring pages.
"Yes. What's the second request?" Kong Xian raised her head again and looked at Ji Yinxuan.
"The quality of illustrations in light novels is not inferior to teacher Lu Ning's paintings."
"Eh? You mean, all the illustrations need to be redesigned?" Kong Xian asked in surprise.
Since the quality of the illustrations is no lower than that of Lu Ning, it means that another requested to change the illustrator.
You should know that whether it is the coloring pages drawn by another himself or the illustrations drawn by Lu Ning, they are all of high quality. Among those illustrations, you can choose some representative coloring pages or illustrations.
If these are not used, the production cost will immediately increase.
"Sincerity. The magazine should show enough sincerity to the readers, right?" Ji Yinxuan explained.
Kong Xian nodded. Of course she knew her sincerity, but in this way, the cost would probably be inevitable.
An illustrator who is better than Lu Ning... who is suitable?
...
Shen Xin stretched her waist, snapped her fingers, made two crisp sounds, turned her neck again, and heard the same sound.
In a blink of an eye, he worked all morning, and according to common sense, he should also rest.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the study door.
"Please come in."
Shen Xin turned her head and saw Yan Fei pushing the door in.
"What's wrong?"
"Uh, there's something...but it's not a big deal. Snow drew another coloring page." Yan Fei said.
"Then let him draw. You can't control his hands, right? Besides, top domestic illustrators can also play a very high role in publicity by drawing illustrations." Shen Xin laughed.
"I know. But the coloring page he drew collided with Mr. Lu's. They both drew the same scene." Yan Fei smiled wryly.
"What?" Shen Xin froze for a moment, a little surprised.
"Also, his coloring page was published on Weibo, Mr. Shen, he x-on:another's Weibo." Yan Fei reminded.
When Shen Xin heard this, she nodded slightly and fell into silence.
