"The two of you who came to me today are definitely not here. Let's talk about anything." Shen Xin asked.
"Yeah. The magazine is going to let Mr. Zhou start serialization on "NewWorld" next month. He is considered to be a contracted cartoonist of our magazine. Before the serialization, he wanted to visit you, the "NewWorld" Top cartoonist." Xiaoli said roughly.
"What is the top card or not? I just do my job well. From now on, everyone will come together." Shen Xin stretched out his hand to Zhou Yang.
"No... I will learn from Teacher Shen. Draw a nice cartoon." Zhou Yang blushed, holding Shen Xin's hand with both hands.
There is some sweat in the palms of his hands, indicating that this kid is a little nervous.
"Well, fat...Fat teacher..." Shen Xin read Zhou Yang's pen name for a while, and felt that it was a play. "If this pen name has no special meaning to you, it's better to change it. It's too playful."
I don't know why, Shen Xin chanted this pen name, always thinking of "Dragon playing in the water".
"I have been drinking Fat Dahai for a while, and I think this pen name will make me more masculine. Therefore, this name has no special meaning. After two days, I will think of a new pen name again." Zhou Yang Explained quickly.
Shen Xin nodded slightly, he could understand Zhou Yang's thoughts.
In fact, many authors use pen names casually, but when the works become popular, some pen names will be embarrassing. On the earth, there have been instances where the copyright of the work was not sold because the author's pen name was too bad.
"That's right. Fat... Teacher Zhou, have you found your assistant too?"
"Not yet. There is something wrong with the name. I may have to redraw the name in the last week." Zhou Yang scratched his head.
"The first time you create a long story, you may encounter some difficulties. After you adapt, you will be better. If you have to discuss with the editor, don't be silent and don't make your own claim. I think most editors still I very much hope that my author can be on his own."
Shen Xin thought of Chen Zijiao, and didn't want Zhou Yang to repeat the same mistakes, so he chatted a few more words.
There are not many opportunities for him to interact with other cartoonists. In addition to Ye Hexu and Chen Zijiao, Zhou Yang was in front of him, and he felt a sense of freshness in his heart. Moreover, Zhou Yang's personality was also good, at least he did not reject it.
At this time, Xiaoli pulled Yan Fei secretly. Yan Fei understood her heart and coughed, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Teacher Shen, do you have time now? Xiaoli and I want to talk to you separately."
"No problem." Shen Xin nodded.
Xiaoli is usually busy, it is impossible to bring Zhou Yang to him deliberately, it should be because she has encountered some problems.
"Ms. Zhou, you and the others stay here first, let's discuss something." Xiaoli said to Zhou Yang.
"Well, good." Zhou Yang nodded obediently.
Shen Xin handed the CD and the voice actor information to Lu Ning, and asked them to listen to the voice of the voice actor.
Lu Ning nodded slightly. Although she didn't speak much, the smile on her face told others that she was also interested in these voice actors.
put the CD and materials on the table, she took out the player from her backpack again, Gao Hang and Zhou Yang also gathered around.
Shen Xin and the three walked into the reception room.
poured a glass of boiling water for each of them, and Shen Xin also sat on the single sofa, looking at Xiaoli puzzledly, "Miss Wu, what's the matter?"
Xiaoli coughed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed in her heart, but considering the purpose of this trip, she bit her head and said it.
"Mr. Shen, this is the case... Actually, Zhou Yang is a very promising newcomer cartoonist for the magazine, and Song Shao even wants him to reach your current level. Not long ago, Zhou Yang's editor in charge was Li Jiming. Maybe the president thinks he and Zhou Yang was not very good at communication, so I replaced Li Jiming. I also know that Zhou Yang is difficult to surpass you, but the magazine has high expectations of him. Therefore, my pressure has also become very great, and I am afraid that I will not get good results. .
"Although his name is somewhat novel, after careful analysis, I can clearly feel the shortcomings, and I can only find a few shortcomings. So, if possible, I would like to ask you for suggestions? Or, tell me how you are. From a rookie to a professional cartoonist."
Even if it is an ordinary newcomer, but in the face of a newcomer like Zhou Yang who is taken care of, Xiaoli is always afraid that she will delay him.
Uh…
Shen Xin didn't expect Xiaoli to have this kind of problem. Indeed, for newcomers, starting is very important.
However, Shen Xin is helpless.
It's not a question of whether he wants to help Xiaoli, but he doesn't know how newcomers should create best-selling comics.
"Y's" was drawn based on "I"s", and the story itself is relatively complete, so he doesn't know what method a newcomer cartoonist should use to get readers' approval.
Everything is natural and natural. I want him to say one, two, three, four... In addition to the experience given by the comic capsule, he really doesn't know what to say.
Shen Xin fell into deep thought, Xiaoli didn't dare to speak out, so she could only hold Yan Fei's hand secretly.
"Can I see his name?" Shen Xin thought for a long time, but didn't think of a good way, so he could only start with the name.
Whether a work can become popular depends partly on the strength of the author, and partly on luck. Even an experienced editor can hardly determine whether a work can sell well.
Therefore, Shen Xin can only look at the name first, and then think about whether he can make some suggestions.
Xiaoli quickly handed the name to Shen Xin, and whispered: "I think his name is too scattered, no title is pointed out, and the comic progress is too fast, only three words are drawn, and the protagonist participated in two fights."
Shen Xin quickly read the name of "Ghost Power" again, after a little thought, he closed the name and returned it to Xiaoli.
"You're right, this manga is advancing a bit fast. Moreover, the background is not clearly explained, and I feel a little anxious, and the content is too dry. This is a problem for newcomers."
Xiaoli frowned after hearing Shen Xin's words, as she expected it to be.
"Then... Is there any way to make up?" Xiaoli asked quickly.
"The way..." Shen Xin rubbed his nose, and after a long period of contemplation, he said an old-fashioned sentence, "Watch more and practice more."
"Watch more and practice more?"
Xiaoli's face twitched twice, and Yan Fei rubbed her forehead.
These four words are simply a panacea, and they can be used anywhere.
"In addition, there are two other methods. First, draw a few more short comics, on the one hand, to get readers' approval, and on the other hand, short stories are also conducive to improving the author's ability to control the overall situation; second, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is like Chen Zijiao, to find an original work. First have an experience to finish the book. This is the safest way."
Xiaoli bulged her cheeks, and she was a little unwilling, "Mr. Shen, what height do you think "Ghost Power" can reach if it starts serialization?"
"About...40 words? If he writes down at this speed, about 40 words will be over."
Shen Xin combined his own understanding and the experience brought by the comic capsule to arrive at a rough number of chapters. But this kind of prediction is often not accurate. Many times, the comics collapsed due to a small factor.
Chapter 40... In other words, less than a year...
Sweat oozes from Xiaoli's forehead.
"But these are just predictions. If he grows quickly, he may become the signature of "NewWorld"." Shen Xin said with a light smile.
If so, it would be fine.
Xiao Li puffed her lips and sighed in her heart.
The three people left the reception room and came to the living room.
Lu Ning was wearing headphones and listening to the CD, while Gao Hang stared at the voice actors' profile, with a wretched smile on his face, and nodded from time to time. As for Zhou Yang, he flipped through some sketches, and even Xiaoli didn't even know it when she came out of the living room.
Xiaoli walked to Zhou Yang's side, glanced at the manuscript in Zhou Yang's hand, and found that it was the name before "Y's".
"Ms. Zhou, if nothing else, shall we go back first?"
"Go back?" Zhou Yang was taken aback, and suddenly stood up, "By the way, Sister Xiaoli, I have something to discuss with you."
"Ok?"
"I...want to be Teacher Shen's assistant!" Zhou Yang rubbed his hands anxiously, with a hint of expectation on his face.
