Chapter 11 Waiting
When first drawing the name, Shen Xin didn't think it was too difficult to draw a qualified romance manga.
There is no problem with the story, the storyboard and the composition of the picture, plus the experience of publishing doujinshi, if you want to draw an excellent short manga, you should have it at your fingertips.
But since he copied the sketch, he suddenly found that the situation is not that simple. Because he has never been in a relationship, he doesn't know how to get in touch with the object of his crush. expressions and actions.
In particular, he set the heroine as an innocent girl.
For example, after the show is gone, the heroine suddenly finds that the hero is not far away, and the shyness on her face is difficult to grasp.
This is not the same as the 18r book. This type of comics tests the cartoonist's handling of facial details, even as subtle as a look or an eyebrow.
In order to portray the ideal effect, Shen Xin spent a lot of effort, and finally used Dongcheng Aya in "Strawberry 100%" as a template to learn her expressions, and finally solved this problem, thanks to the 100% learning of the manga capsule The bonus, so that he did not waste too much time.
The university exam is basically "Long live with one more point, suffer with one less point", except for some students who want to get scholarships, others only require 60 points.
Shen Xin's usual grades are pretty good, but there is too little time for review, so the grades are not too high, but there is no big problem in passing the line.
After finishing the last class, Shen Xin was finally liberated and could focus more on sticking dotted paper, blackening and whitewashing.
During the period, Yan Yu also went to Shen Xin's house to urge her once. After seeing Shen Xin's drawing, she never mentioned the manuscript again—she was very satisfied with the quality of the manuscript.
When Shen Xin came to the magazine office of "New World" and handed over the heavy manuscript to Yan Kun, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his nerves relaxed, as if he had been relieved.
This month has been really tough.
"Don't relax - if the reader's feedback is good, you may have to submit the name of the serialization next month, so get ready first." Yan Kun reminded.
"So fast?" Shen Xin was a little surprised.
"It's not fast... Remember, you have to submit the names of the three chapters first, and they will be evaluated in the conference room. After the approval, the magazine society will leave some issues for the comics that have been cut in half, so that they can "close" the stories more properly. During this time, you can draw the original manuscript." Yan Lin never left the manuscript of "Equation of Love".
"That's it..." Shen Xin frowned, "Is the next one still a romance comic?"
"Of course. Readers and editors approve of this cartoon, not others. It is impossible for the magazine to let newcomers publish another type of cartoon. That would be too risky." Yan Kun reminded.
Shen Xin nodded, even if he dared to say with confidence that he could draw best-selling comics, the other party didn't believe it at all.
Long comics about love... Now I have a headache.
It really doesn't work... just copy the official text?
There is no way to do this, after all, I really have no experience in this area, and the protagonists of many online novels reach the pinnacle of life by relying on Wen Chaogong.
Shen Xin also has self-knowledge, he has no problem conceiving short comics, but long comics are indeed beyond his current ability.
It's like writing an online novel. Many new writers can write the first 20,000 to 30,000 words very well, but once they exceed 1 million words, especially more than 2-3 million words, they will struggle.
This is because the author's limited control over the novel caused the novel to collapse later.
Unlike most web authors, cartoonists are responsible for editing and can discuss the plot, which is the advantage of cartoonists. However, the responsible editor will also be promoted due to reasons such as promotion,
And parted from the cartoonist halfway, there are not a few excellent cartoons that collapsed because of this reason.
Besides, he is still adjusting to this relatively unfamiliar world.
Shen Xin frowned, thinking about the pros and cons.
Yan Fang thought that Shen Xin was struggling with the name of the new manga, so he patted Yan Fang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's still early, let's see the readers' feedback first, if the readers' acceptance is high, follow this model , if it doesn’t work, we’ll think of other ways.”
Shen Xin nodded, "When will the results come out? I want to know if this short story can be published in "New World."
"Friday, you should adjust your body first these few days. Cartoonists often have to turn day and night upside down, and the body can easily lose it."
"I know, I'll be waiting for your call that Friday?" Shen Xin got up and prepared to leave.
"One more thing." Yan Yu called to Shen Xin who was about to leave.
"Huh?" Shen Xin looked at Yan Qu in puzzlement.
"Do you have an account? After the comic is published, the manuscript fee will be deposited into your account." Yan Kun said.
"Yes." Shen Xin nodded repeatedly. He put in so much effort just for the manuscript fee, "Sister Yan, how much money can I get?"
"A newcomer is 200 yuan per page, and if it is serialized, it will be 300 yuan. The price is basically the same in China. If it is the pillar of the three major journals, it may mention 500 yuan per page. Therefore, the income this short story brings to you is 8,000 yuan, but I need to remind you that this is the manuscript fee before tax, and the magazine will definitely deduct personal income tax, and it should deduct more than 800 yuan." Yan Qu looked serious.
Shen Xin nodded, he already knew about these contents, and 7,000 yuan would be enough to save the emergency.
Xi Muzhen was working part-time in a nearby bookstore, and hadn't come back in the evening.
Shen Xin could only wash the vegetables first and pick off the withered leaves. As for cooking, for the sake of his and Xi Muzhen's health, it is better to take a break for a while and leave the cooking work to Xi Muzhen.
While washing the vegetables, Shen Xin was also thinking about how to deal with serial comics. After much deliberation, Shen Xin finally decided to use the comics from Earth.
When the second grade starts, he will go to school, and his sister will also enter high school. The optical fee is a big expense, and then the two of them have to live, which requires money. In addition, he still has to attend classes, so he doesn't have much energy to think about the name of the serial comics.
He can't set up a street stall to beg, can he?
We must overcome the difficulties in front of us, and... we must not lose to Wang Wenhong and Chen Zijiao.
After making a decision, Shen Xin also felt relaxed.
When Xi Muzhen came back, it was completely dark.
Shen Xin saw her tired face, glanced at the kitchen, and suggested going out for dinner.
He was not so cruel to ask his sister who had been working all day to continue cooking, but Xi Muzhen firmly disagreed. After washing his face, he entered the kitchen.
Shen Xin could only scouring two handfuls of rice, put them in the rice cooker, and tried her best to relieve Xi Muzhen's pressure. At the same time, she made up her mind that she must learn how to cook during the summer vacation—starting with her best egg fried rice.
In the next few days, Xi Muzhen has been working part-time in the bookstore, while Shen Xin is practicing painting while patiently waiting for the result of "New World".
As confident as he was about the comic, he was a little nervous as the date approached.
While waiting anxiously, Yan Fang finally called on Friday night.
