Chapter 895 Troubled

Among the six assistants, five are old assistants who follow Shen Xin, but they have not participated in the drawing of comics for more than a year, but are practicing basic skills.

Chu Le is a newcomer, and his time as an assistant is extremely limited.

Therefore, for everyone, this short comic is more like a tacit understanding between each other, and by the way, find the feeling of the previous serial comics.

The biggest difference is that the style of Shen Xin's manuscript submitted this time is far from that of a year ago.

Both types of painting styles tend to be realistic, but "Soul of Chess" and "DN" are more gorgeous, while this basketball comic is more realistic.

Perhaps because of the guarantee of the quality of the line draft, Shen Xin did not use a digital screen to draw this chapter, but used a dip pen. After the line draft came out, she handed it over to Yan Fei to scan it into the computer , the assistants will carry out follow-up creation, or make the background, or print the effect line, or dot the paper on the Internet.

Everyone's hard work over the past year has also been reflected. Not only is the painting speed faster than before, but the lines and background are also more refined than before.

Both the creation speed and the actual effect are much better than before.

If it wasn't for Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong's marriage, they might have only two weeks to complete the manuscript.

Although Yan Fei was going to prepare for the wedding, Wang Wenhong was in charge of running errands. She was responsible for Shen Xin's drawing, communicated with Gao Hang and others, and corrected the flaws in it.

In addition, compared with Shen Xin's short stories, Yan Fei put more energy into the creation of "Stones;Gate".

Lu Ning's strength is not as good as Shen Xin's. Not to mention the gap in artistry, Lu Ning will have to catch up for several years in terms of storytelling alone. It's not that Lu Ning is not good enough. In fact, other domestic cartoonists can match her. It's not easy at all, but Shen Xin is really too enchanting, at least one rank ahead of other cartoonists.

After confirming the first chapter, what Lu Ning has to do is to draw the original draft of the first chapter.

Since Lu Ning did not hire an assistant, Lu Ning had to complete all the work and details from outlining to blackening, background, dots, correction...all by himself.

Lu Ning is not a newcomer, but this is the first time he has completed such a large amount of work alone.

Fortunately, "Steins;Gate" is serialized on Qingyue, and the update time is not fixed.

Although she promised to update two episodes a month, it's okay to listen to this kind of talk, the big deal is that I owe it, and it's hard to say when it will be paid back.

The first chapter is 40 pages, and the follow-up chapter is about 20 pages. It does take some time to complete the first chapter and save the manuscript.

While Yan Fei and Lu Ning were preparing the manga for "Stones;Gate", the wedding ceremony was progressing day by day. In a blink of an eye, there were only two or three days left, and the serialization of "The Devil's Tutor" also started, uploading the first talk.

In terms of update frequency, "Devil's Tutor" is basically the same as "Steins;Gate", with two updates in January.

Snow also needs to take over illustrations from other companies, so it is impossible to put all his energy on "The Devil's Tutor". Every two weeks is not too fast, but it can't be said to be slow, after all, there are monthly updates and lifetime series.

But there is something about this comic that surprised Yan Fei and Lu Ning - "The Demon King's Tutor" is a full-color page, not a single black and white page.

The original version of "The Devil's Tutor" has gained a certain reputation in the 11th district. During this period of time, Qingyue has carried out a wave of publicity for "The Devil's Tutor", which has attracted the attention of a large number of readers. At the same time, Snow is in charge of painting. The content is Full color pages are also an attractive gimmick.

However, for comics lovers, these are not just gimmicks, there is something that makes them excited.

"The Devil's Tutor" has a certain popularity in the 11th district. Some readers believe that if it is on a better platform and Shi Qun's painters are better, "The Devil's Tutor" may even have a chance to gain a foothold in the 11th district.

Now, Snow is in charge of painting and serializing in Qingyue. In a sense, it has met the requirements of these readers.

The appearance of full-color pages is more like an easter egg, which cheers up all readers who are looking forward to "The Devil's Tutor".

For a while, the popularity of "The Devil's Tutor" rose rapidly, and it took only one sentence to confirm the status of "the treasure of the town".

"Snow's drawing skills are really amazing, completely crushing Qingyue other cartoonists."

"I can't imagine that Xueda would agree to paint for "The Tutor of the Demon King". The original work of Mr. Shi Qun, and Xueda's painting, um, it feels so wonderful."

"I predict that the combination of Mr. Shi Qun and Snow can be compared with Shen Zheng. Xue Da's painters are not weaker than Shen Zheng, and Mr. Shi Qun's story is also very good. However, when he was studying in District 11, Not well-known, this is completely different from Shen Zheng, you must know that even "Soul of Chess" only opened up the market in the 11th district after "Young Leap" was introduced and published, and the difficulty is not the same as "The Tutor of the Demon King."

"Upstairs, step on one and lift one on, isn't it good?"

"Am I not telling the truth?"

"Upstairs, you haven't read comics for long, have you?"

"What's wrong? Are newcomers not qualified to read comics?"

"Of course I am qualified, but what you said above is wrong. Don't even think about it. There are so many Chinese comics, why did "Youth Leap" introduce "Soul of Chess" instead of other comics? Isn't it because of the D version of "Soul of Chess" It attracted heated discussions from readers, which made "Youth Leap" notice this comic. "The Demon King's Tutor" was serialized in the comic forum in District 11, and "Soul of Chess" did not have a market in District 11 at first, but relied on readers' spontaneous Translate it and upload it to the forum in District 11. If "The Devil's Tutor" is really so good, it would have been discovered by "Young Leap" or other magazines long ago, why wait until now?"

"Huh? And this history?"

"Fake! It can't be like this!"

"Even if it's true, so what? The manga still has to be read in color. It doesn't feel like reading a black and white manga. The characters seem to be dead. Shen Zheng's style will be eliminated sooner or later."

"The sales volumes of "Steel Wheel" and "DN" are listed here. The average volume of "Steel Refining" is 2.8 million copies, and the volume of "DN" is 2.4 million copies. Can "The Devil's Tutor" catch up?"

"Now it's web comics...who still looks at the book sales..."

...

After "The Devil's Tutor" was released, it became the center of public opinion.

Some people compared it with "Smelting Steel" and "DN", and compared it with comics such as "Yao Dao" and "Magic World". Someone posted that if "Stones Gate" is a black-and-white manga, they will stop reading this lightly modified manga.

Under such circumstances, the popularity of "The Demon King's Tutor" continued to rise, and it quickly jumped to the number one position on the light reading hot list and click list.

"Steins;Gate" hasn't been serialized yet, so it was compared with "The Devil's Tutor" on the Internet, which immediately made Lu Ning feel pressured, especially, someone expressed their love for color manga with a message similar to "threat" , which put Lu Ning in a dilemma.

She was afraid that some readers would give up this manga because "Steins;Gate" is a black and white manga, but if she serialized the coloring pages, she would be too busy alone, so she probably needs to find an assistant who specializes in coloring.

Now, she has drawn a few pages in black and white, and if she temporarily switches to color comics, it will be too late.

The hesitation and entanglement in Lu Ning's heart were noticed by Yan Fei. After asking, she showed a wry smile: "You, it's not a problem to keep this kind of thing in your stomach. Ask Teacher Shen and see his opinion."

"Aren't I afraid to trouble him?"

"In case of poor grades, wouldn't it be too late for you to find Teacher Shen?"

Lu Ning thought for a while and agreed with Yan Fei's words.

It's just started now, and there is still room for adjustment. It will be too late for her to struggle with these things until the official serialization.

After thinking it over, Lu Ning followed Yan Fei to Shen Xin's studio.

The six assistants performed their duties and were busy drawing the manuscript.

She glanced roughly, and realized that the screen was black and white comics, so she relaxed a little, followed Yan Fei, and entered Shen Xin's studio.

Shen Xin seemed to have expected that Lu Ning would come, and let her sit on the sofa first.

After finishing the pen, Shen Xin handed the manuscript on the drawing board to Yan Fei, asking her to dry the ink and scan the manuscript.

After Yan Fei left, Shen Xin asked Lu Ning again: "What's the matter?"

"Some people said on the Internet that if there is no coloring page, they will not read the comics of "Steins;Gate". I am also hesitant now."

Shen Xin rubbed her forehead, it was this matter again.

"Didn't I tell you about the color and black and white pages?"

"I know, and I also think that black and white pages are more suitable for me, and my energy does not allow me to draw color pages, but "The Demon King's Tutor" has been serialized in full color and has already accumulated a high reputation on the Internet. So, I feel lost Confidence."

Lu Ning clasped her fingers, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

There are still some things that Lu Ning didn't say out loud. For example, some people said that the characters in the black and white manga seem to be dead. It is probably related to the fact that in some games, after the character dies, the screen will turn black and white.

For whatever reason, there are real people who don't like black and white manga.

"If a reader said that if "Stones Gate" wasn't a black-and-white comic, he wouldn't read it, how would you choose?" Shen Xin asked.

"Eh? There shouldn't be such a request, right?"

"Since there are only readers who like color comics, it's not surprising that there are only readers who like black and white comics. Let me ask you, how do you choose?" Shen Xin asked again.

"me……"

Lu Ning hesitated for more than ten seconds, but still did not speak.

"I remember I once said, don't have the idea of ​​'satisfying everyone', you can't do it, and I can't do it. Also, long-form serialization is like running a marathon, don't think about starting from serialization, Leave your opponents behind. People with this kind of thinking tend to be very impatient. Therefore, you have to know where the power of a story is. ups and downs, and doubt yourself.

"Also, there is one thing that I forgot to say before. Taking this opportunity, I will briefly say it. "Steins;Gate" has an extremely delicate plot, and there are many echoes. This type of work, no matter Yes, it’s still comics. Their selling point is often the layout of the entire article. The same is true for "Steins;Gate". However, the situation you are facing now is that "Steins;Gate" has already come out, and those wonderful layouts have also been rejected. Readers know that even if there are new readers, they will be 'spoiled' by old readers and know the follow-up plot. In this case, what are you going to use to attract readers?"

"..."

Lu Ning opened her mouth slightly and shook her head again.

She once drew a lightly modified manga of "The Way of the Country", but at that time, she didn't have high requirements for grades, and the quality of "The Way of the Country" was not as good as "Stones of Destiny's Gate", so she drew it in a daze without thinking about it so much.

"Let the climax of the plot resonate with the readers' hearts, and let the images that readers expect be reflected in the comics-they choose to read comics just to see such images. The battle between color pages and black and white pages is far away. Not as important as these. The performance of the picture and the quality of the storyboard will determine the achievement of this book." Shen Xin said seriously.

Lu Ning's face was tense and she remained silent, but Shen Xin's words kept echoing in her mind.
