Chapter 886 Visit
When Shen Xin received Ji Yinxuan's call, he was also surprised. He had never met Snow, and the two of them had never been in contact.
Snow wants to see him, there is no problem, at most he can spare a few hours.
Illustrators and cartoonists are not the same profession, but on a larger scale, it is still in the two-dimensional circle, and there is no harm in getting acquainted with top illustrators, maybe there will be communication in the future.
After about five or six minutes, the doorbell rang, Xi Muhan opened the door, and saw Ji Yinxuan walking in front, followed by a man and a woman.
The woman looked to be in her forties and had been well-groomed, but the wrinkles around her eyes were already quite obvious.
The man is relatively young, probably less than thirty years old, a little unfamiliar.
"This is Teacher Shen's wife, Teacher Xi Muhan, the original work of "Ding Shi"." Kong Xian introduced.
Xi Muhan met Kong Xian at the annual meeting, but he didn't have a deep impression, but Kong Xian knew Xi Muhan better, because Xi Muhan once wrote the biography of "Steel Refining", which was published by "Qichuang Library" at that time.
After Lu Yingxue heard about it, she quickly greeted Xi Muhan.
He has never watched "Ding Shi", but he has heard the name.
"Mr. Xi, this is the famous Chinese illustrator Snow, who made a special trip to visit Mr. Shen."
"I heard what Brother Xin said, the three of you please sit inside, and I will invite Brother Xin."
Xi Muhan let the three people into the room, and after the three sat down, he went into the study and told Shen Xin about Snow's coming.
"knew."
Shen Xin put down the pen, and Xi Muhan came behind Shen Xin and squeezed his shoulder twice.
"Comfortable..." Shen Xin twisted her neck.
"When can I officially draw?" Xi Muhan asked.
"It's coming soon. I'm going to draw a short story first, throw stones and ask for directions, and see which platforms are interested in the new work." Shen Xin leaned back in the chair, "I don't know if I can catch a big fish."
"Comic Future doesn't work?"
"Of course. But what should I say? Let's see if there are other opportunities." Shen Xin stood up and stretched.
Xi Muhan smiled slightly, no matter what decision Shen Xin made, she had confidence in Shen Xin.
When the two left the study, Ji Yinxuan had already made a pot of tea.
Lu Yingxue also stood up when she saw Shen Xin coming out.
"Please sit down, let me wash my hands first."
If you use a dip pen, you will get ink on your hands. Although you may not be able to wash it off, you can wash away the ink that has not solidified.
Lu Yingxue nodded quickly, took a deep breath, and calmed down the pressure in her heart.
"Y's", "Soul of Chess", "Steel Refining", and "DN", these four comics cover four types: love, competition, blood, and evil. Anyone who likes comics must have read at least one of these four comics.
Lu Yingxue has read all four comics and likes them all. After these four comics, he has read the character design of "God Descends" and completely admired them.
Shen Xin's basic skills are very solid, and, in his opinion, whether it is the line draft of "God's Arrival" or the vertical drawing, they are all of a very high standard.
If it were someone else, Lu Yingxue would definitely not be convinced. He felt that if he was in charge of the character design of "God Arrived", it would not be comparable to this level, but he should have his own style.
But this person is Shen Xin, but he admires it very much. In the Huaxia circle, there are basically no cartoonists whose drawing skills are as solid as Shen Xin's. Even in the illustration circle, he has already stepped into the ranks of the top illustrators in China based on the character design of "God's Fall".
Therefore, when Lu Yingxue faced Shen Xin, her mood was very complicated.
There is some admiration, some envy, and at the same time, there is a hint of wanting to compete.
If the person who visited today was Ye Hexu, he really might not feel this way.
After Shen Xin washed her hands and came back, Lu Yingxue involuntarily got up again, "Mr. Shen..."
"Sit down first? The three of you have tea." Shen Xin smiled, signaling Lu Yingxue not to be nervous.
Lu Yingxue sat down in response and picked up her teacup.
Just now when Yu Shen Xin was answering, he suddenly became a little nervous, as if meeting a senior or an elder in the circle, but Shen Xin should be about the same age as him.
"This should be the first time Teacher Snow and I met, right?" Shen Xin laughed.
"Mr. Shen, my name is Lu Yingxue. Don't call me 'teacher'. I am a junior of Mr. Shen. Just call me Yingxue." Lu Yingxue said hastily.
ah?
Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he really debuted too early, in some people's eyes, he might really be a senior.
"'There is a specialization in the art industry', so, let's call you Teacher Snow?"
With the comic capsule, Shen Xin knows a lot of experience in drawing illustrations, but he is not a professional illustrator after all, so in terms of proficiency, he is not as good as Lu Yingxue, but he is not lacking in other aspects.
He wants to change from a cartoonist to an illustrator, and what he needs is time.
Then again, it can be done, but it doesn't have to be.
"Then...cough cough, just follow Teacher Shen." Lu Yingxue touched her nose.
"By the way, why did Mr. Snow come to take a look?" Shen Xin asked.
"I was discussing cooperation with Mr. Ji. I originally thought that if I had the opportunity, it would be like drawing a cartoon of "Stones;Gate", but another teacher handed over the comic to Mr. Lu Ning. Alas, my wish failed. Then I heard from Editor-in-Chief Kong that Teacher Shen is here too, so I thought, no matter what, I have to come and see Teacher Shen.” Lu Yingxue said what was in her heart all at once.
Editor Kong?
Only then did Shen Xin remember that the elderly lady in front of her was Kong Xian, the editor-in-chief of "Qichuang Library", whether it was an annual meeting or a wedding, she had met Kong Xian before.
See, the novel copyright of "Steins;Gate" should belong to "Qichuang Library".
However, Lu Yingxue said that she wanted to draw "Stones;Gate" comics, but it would definitely be useless. No matter how good his drawing skills are, he is not a cartoonist after all.
"That's okay, you will have the opportunity to try in the future. However, illustrations are different from comics. Even if you don't adjust your mentality, you may not gain anything." Shen Xin reminded.
"I also drew comics before, and the readers' response was pretty good." Lu Yingxue explained.
"Long story?"
"Short stories."
"Short stories are not the same as long stories. The biggest difference between comics and illustrations is that comics tell stories. If a cartoonist can use stories to attract readers, the cartoonist is qualified. Many people should have said this, right?"
Lu Yingxue nodded.
"But there is one thing that many people haven't considered, which is the state of mind. Long-form comics can be as short as three or four years, and as long as more than ten years. Every week, cartoonists are doing the same steps. If you can't settle down, then the comics Is it difficult for me to draw only one manga for a long time?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.
Lu Yingxue was speechless.
He is used to traveling around after finishing a job. He hadn't really thought about whether he would adapt to being confined in a room.
