Chapter 892 Name

Short comics are generally used by magazines or cartoonists to test the waters, judging from the preferences of readers, whether the related long stories will be favored by the market.

But short stories are not particularly necessary if the cartoonist already has some success.

The reason why Shen Xin created short stories was not because she was afraid that """ would not be popular in the market - as one of the most successful sports comics, "" is almost a benchmark, and the sales volume cannot be poor.

"" started with a joke, and the fierce confrontation of basketball was not drawn in the first two chapters. Therefore, Shen Xin decided to create a short story to reflect the characteristics of "".

To put it bluntly, Shen Xin is making bait, and as for the fish, they are those platforms.

When he goes down with the hook, there must be fish coming up, otherwise, it would be pointless to do so.

Is it "ComicFuture", "Weekly Top", or "Shounen Leap", or other magazines...

Shen Xin was very curious.

Since the fish are used for "fishing", Shen Xin prepared two short comics, each of which has enough "materials", about 60 pages.

Choose one of the two, decide on one, and then draw the original manuscript. It will take about half a month, and the wedding of Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei is approaching. Comics are drawn.

When Yan Fei came in, she took a few glances at the work of the assistants, and noticed that Gao Hang was constantly arranging the cables, so she raised her brows slightly.

Using only a pen without a ruler can make straight lines, even skilled assistants can do it. Gao Hang not only can make straight lines, but also at a fast speed, which is quite rare.

Yan Fei glanced at Liu Ruoxing again. Her workbench consisted of two, one of which was equipped with a digital screen and a computer, and Liu Ruoxing was sitting on the other table—the table was covered with various watercolors and markers. Holding a marker pen, she is coloring another drawing. Needless to say, she will still be mainly responsible for drawing the coloring page for a period of time to come.

Liu Ruoxing uses sai, and the coloring speed is faster, but now the time is not tight, she is practicing the basic skills, not for the mission, but to improve herself.

Since he is mainly responsible for coloring, Liu Ruoxing must be proficient in hand-painting and computer, otherwise he will be sorry for the salary of the top domestic assistants.

This 120-square-meter studio is divided into three areas, the assistant's area occupies about half, her and Wang Wenhong's office occupies the remaining third, and Shen Xin and Xi Muhan occupy The last two thirds.

In order to keep it quiet, each area is separated by soundproof glass.

Yan Fei pushed open the glass door, greeted Xi Muhan who was typing on the keyboard in the corner, and then moved her gaze to Shen Xin's workbench.

"How's Teacher Lu Ning doing?" Shen Xin asked casually.

"The first chapter has already come out. After we discussed it, we determined the areas that need to be revised, and it is estimated that we will have another in-depth discussion. Adapting a manga from a light novel is easy to say, but it is also difficult to create, especially on the storyboard. "Yan Fei sighed.

"No, I've seen other cartoonists draw lightly modified comics, it seems very simple." Xi Muhan said casually.

"Teacher Lu Ning can also deal with it 'simplely'... She will also pass your "Guotu", right?" Shen Xin expressed her thoughts.

Xi Muhan nodded.

"So, according to the light novel drawing, it is not difficult for Teacher Lu Ning. But standing at different heights, the requirements for yourself are definitely different. Especially since Qingyue is not "Comic Future", the competition will not be very fierce, Teacher Lu I definitely want to get the first place... no, I want to 'control the hegemony' Qingyue." Yan Fei replied.

"Of course, "Stones;Gate" is a manga that is sought after by many people." Xi Muhan laughed.

Some time ago, the Internet directly labeled "Steins;Gate" as a "magic work", which is enough to prove the excellence of "Steins;Gate".

"I'm afraid the situation is not so optimistic." Shen Xin waved her hand, "Ms. Lu is a black and white man, right?"

"Um.

"Yan Fei nodded.

"Right now, I don't know if black and white are at a disadvantage." Shen Xin rubbed her chin, but looked at Yan Fei, "You also know that the pace of "Stones;Gate" is slow, and the readers are very realistic. The results of "Steins;Gate" will not be very good at the beginning. Therefore, Sister Yan, you must encourage Teacher Lu, and don't let her doubt herself. She wants "Steins;Gate" to get the first place in light reading , I'm afraid, it's not that easy."

Shen Xin knew the quality of "Steins;Gate", but he was not sure about the strength of his opponent. It might not be easy for "Steins;Gate" to get the first place.

What's more, the novel has already been published, and readers know the plot reversal later on. It's hard to reappear that amazing feeling.

"I know." Yan Fei took a deep breath and wrote down Shen Xin's words.

"Okay, these two are short comic books, you can read them first." Shen Xin handed the bound two books to Yan Fei.

Yan Fei smiled instantly.

She jumped out of "Comic Future", partly because she was more free, and partly because she could see Shen Xin in the first place.

Just like now, besides Shen Xin, she should be the first person to see this, maybe even earlier than Xi Muhan.

Yan Fei put one of the books on the table, and moved her eyes to the one in her hand.

On the cover of this one, a teenager in a ball uniform jumped high, raised his right arm and was laying up a layup, surrounded by his opponents, and on the other side of the blank space, there were four large characters written——

"Basketball boy?"

"Don't worry about the name, it's just a short story."

Too.

Yan Fei nodded, "Shen Zheng" is more important than the name of the comic.

The beginning of the comic is a basketball final. One side is behind by 7 points, and there are five minutes left. The remaining 20 pages are about these five minutes.

The protagonist is the school team's shooting guard and signature star, but the entire game was restricted and he scored only 8 points.

As a star defender, this score is definitely not good. All the hopes of the entire team are pinned on him, and he must attack and block again and again.

During a breakthrough, the defender hit him on the head, and the protagonist fell to the ground, dazed, and lost in memories of how he started playing basketball and how he met his teammates who played basketball.

The medical staff came on the field, the coach called a timeout, and pictures flashed through the protagonist's mind, allowing him to find the feeling of playing basketball back then.

What follows is the story of the protagonist team successfully making a comeback under the leadership of the protagonist.

Yan Fei never left her eyes from the first page, especially when she saw the middle, she suddenly became nervous, and she was only slowly relieved when the game was over.

"How is it?" Shen Xin asked.

"Excellent as always." Yan Fei gave Shen Xin a thumbs up.
