My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 908 Anxious

Lu Yingxue also read the coloring page of "Basketball Sky" immediately.

After watching it for the first time, what he felt the most was shock.

These coloring pages cannot be compared with the illustrations he drew, but comparing the comics and illustrations alone is really too difficult for a cartoonist.

He has seen other color comics, and he also knows the level of the people Shi Qun is looking for, but so what?

The magazine only provides so much manuscript fee, and if you hire a high-level cartoonist, you have to pay a large amount of money to the assistant, which is not worth the loss.

However, being compared by readers, and also, there is a sense of being underestimated, which made him a little unacceptable.

Don't people live to breathe?

So, we must find a way to change it.

It seems that a meeting with Teacher Shi Qun is needed to make clear arrangements for the work ahead.

Holding the phone, Lu Yingxue thought over and over again, and sent a text message to Shi Qun.

...

The mobile phone screen on the desktop lit up, and Shi Qun, who was staring at the computer screen, set his eyes on the mobile phone.

After reading the text message, Shi Qun immediately stood up, left the bedroom, and went to the living room on the first floor.

Fan Yinmo was lying on the sofa with a wet towel on his forehead, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable.

After Shen Zheng announced that the coloring pages of "The Sky of Basketball" would be uploaded, Fan Yinmo was depressed all the time, and after he read the coloring pages, he felt uncomfortable.

How can anyone play like this?

Coloring pages of this quality cannot be followed by ordinary studios.

Assistants must have a high level. At the same time, the workload of cartoonists is very tight. Even if it is changed every two weeks, it will still be very difficult.

In this situation, how could it be possible to draw such a coloring page?

Now, "The Devil's Tutor" relies on coloring pages to attract readers, but now that "Basketball Sky" does this, readers' tastes have changed.

But he invested a lot of money in "The Devil's Tutor", and he hasn't paid back yet?

The more he thought about it, the more restless Fan Yinmo became.

Shi Qun walked to the sofa and said to Fan Yinmo, "Brother Fan, Teacher Snow wants to talk to me."

"Him? What does he have to say?" Fan Yinmo opened his eyes and looked at the group of stones in front of him.

"He is the main writer. Up to now, he is the one who draws the paintings of "The Tutor of the Devil King". He and I are partners. After the color page of "Basketball Sky" comes out, readers will naturally compare it with "The Tutor of the Devil King". , he's also under a lot of pressure, right?"

"A lot of pressure?" Fan Yinmo blinked and sat up suddenly, startling Shi Qun. When he looked at Fan Yinmo again, the sadness on Fan Yinmo's face disappeared, replaced by a look of joy.

"Brother Fan, what's wrong with you?" Shi Qun was a little surprised.

"I suddenly figured out something." Fan Yinmo shook his finger and smiled slightly, "Guess who is the most anxious person right now?"

"I don't know." Shi Qun shook his head.

It's not me anyway.

Shi Qun's manuscript had already been sold page by page to Fan Yinmo. In fact, without Fan Yinmo's support, "The Tutor of the Demon King" would not have been able to finish.

Now, the manuscript in "ComicFuture" is second-hand, he just signed it, and there is another contract between him and Fan Yinmo.

All the money that should be earned has been obtained, whether "The Devil's Tutor" earns or loses has nothing to do with him.

Even if "The Devil's Tutor" earns 100 million yuan, he still won't get a fraction of it.

Shi Qun is not a greedy person, just give him money, not to mention, Fan Yinmo also gave him a lot of money.

Of course, "ComicFuture" also bought out the comic "The Demon King's Tutor", and Fan Yinmo's money is relatively fixed. The results of Qun's new work——Shi Qun sold his new work to Fan Yinmo by page.

Cartoonists are gamblers, and he didn't want that risk, he wanted stability.

"It's Snow. Don't forget, he is the chief artist. If the coloring is not good, his reputation will also be affected. He will definitely be anxious.

"

"What if he is in a hurry?" Shi Qun rolled his eyes, "The magazine pays by the page, so if you want to hire high-level assistants, you will earn less."

"Don't worry, look at his attitude first, maybe he is willing to do more work? It's also possible." Fan Yinmo rubbed his hands, "Besides, this is just a short comic. Who dares to say that his long-form comics are also Color comics? Impossible. The cost is too high."

Shi Qun nodded.

He does agree with that.

This color manga was really amazing, and it opened his eyes, but to be honest, this level is not unique.

The overall quality of "Basketball Sky" is higher than that of the domestic front page, and it is basically the same as the front page of "Youth Leap", which should be at the upper-middle level.

The reason why it caused such a big sensation is that it was serialized on the Internet, and the level of works that can be compared with it in China is not good enough, which makes it feel like it stands out from the crowd.

Another reason is that its black and white pages are excellent, and the character's movements and screen shots are of high quality. The high-level black and white pages are used as a foreshadowing, and the color pages show the tension of the picture. Therefore, it is reasonable that "Basketball Sky" is sought after by readers.

But just like what Fan Yinmo said, at most Shen Zheng would draw a coloring page to promote his new work. A long new work is serialized, it cannot be a color page.

It's not that he underestimated Shen Zheng, but it was such a coloring page, the workload was too heavy, it was difficult to complete the weekly update, and human energy had its limit.

In addition, judging from the short story, "Basketball Sky" has a detailed picture.

The more detailed the manga, the longer it will take.

Therefore, Shen Zheng's launch of color manga + black and white manga this time has a more publicity meaning, but the actual operability is not great.

He also didn't believe that when Shen Zheng's new work was serialized, he would create another color manga.

However, even so, web cartoonists are probably under a lot of pressure, after all, readers will have higher demands on them.

"However, readers' eyes will become higher." Shi Qun reminded.

"Don't you know that there is a group of people called sailors? As long as I find some sailors and let them tell the truth of the matter, readers will naturally lower their expectations for color comics. That's right, the coloring page of "Basketball Sky" The quality is very high, but it is impossible for Shen Zheng to be at this level in every episode. 'You can eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year', this craze is over, and everything remains the same." Fan Yinmo rubbed his nose and smiled.

Shi Qun scratched his head, he was not used to Fan Yinmo's approach, but he was not qualified to refuse.

"By the way, I will also go to meet Snow."

"Are you going too?" Shi Qun asked in surprise.

"Yes. I want to listen to his thoughts. In the final analysis, our opinions are very unified, just to make "The Devil's Tutor" more profitable, right? You also want to have a higher social status?"

Shi Qun rubbed his face and nodded. No one thinks he is famous, and he is no exception.

...

District 11, the editorial department of "Young Leap".

Murakami rubbed his temples.

After seeing the coloring page of "Basketball Sky", he suddenly became nervous.

This sense of tension does not come from "Basketball Sky", but from other magazines.

Now he is not the only one who knows that "Basketball Sky" was uploaded to the forum in District 11, and Shen Zheng's past achievements in District 11 are also good. Take "DN" serialized in the comic book as an example, the average volume exceeded 1 million ——This is a manga serialized on the Internet.

Judging from the current short stories, the quality of Shen Xin's next work is also not low. If it is serialized on a platform like "Zhou Man Top", will the volume of the new book exceed 2 million?

No one can tell.

At that time, his pressure will really be great.

Thinking of this, Murakami looked up at Xiaogu, "Xiaogu, help me book a ticket to Hongchuan."

"Okay." Xiaogu felt nervous when he heard Murakami Toru say that.

Toru Murakami should be meeting Shen Zheng, so the next work may be serialized in "Young Leap", although the chance is not great.

It would be nice if we could reach a cooperation...

"By the way, do you have a passport?" Murakami asked again.

"have."

"Then book two air tickets, and you and I will go to Hongchuan." Murakami Toru responded.
