Chapter 5 Inexperienced and Love Comics

The cartoonist's style of painting and the style of the story actually complement each other.

For example, Gui Zhenghe's painting style is delicate and realistic, and he is meticulous about the girl's demeanor and posture. Even if he himself prefers to draw bloody fighting comics, but because of his delicate and realistic style, he can still get twice the result with half the effort when drawing love comics. His fighting comics are not as good as love comics.

Shen Xin's style also tends to be realistic, which is of course not his original intention, but due to the pressure of life.

After the death of a loved one, the host must find a way to make money. Because he is not good at making up stories, and the storyboard draft is also a mess, so he can only attract people's attention from the style of painting.

What style of painting is most attractive to readers? Meat!

An ordinary manga, after adding the element of "meat", it is easy to achieve results.

For this reason, the host deliberately bought more than a dozen half-price magazines, "Pink Circle" - similar to "XX Son" on Earth.

Spending this money made him feel distressed for a long time.

After all, the funds left by my parents and sister are really running out.

After a year of practice, the host's painting style has gradually matured, but now Shen Xin doesn't like this kind of painting style.

In the final analysis, this style can only allow him to draw best-selling comics or classic comics, but he cannot draw kingly comics, and cannot maximize the potential of a cartoonist.

Fortunately, he still has manga capsules. Looking back now, that "100% drawing learning bonus" is indeed... too powerful. He should be able to imitate the style of some manga masters on Earth as long as he spends a certain amount of time. .

Of course, these things can be pushed back. The most urgent thing he needs to do now is to draw the name of the romance comic.

For Shen Xin, who was a dead house in her previous life and had no love experience in this life, it was simply a torment.

Of course, some people may say that the most important ability of a creator is imagination, just like when Eiichiro Oda drew "One Piece", he didn't eat a devil fruit, so he still drew popular manga?

The problem cannot be considered in this way.

In the world, no one has ever eaten a devil fruit, but most people have fallen in love!

The atmosphere created by love is quite intuitive in the works.

As a last resort, Shen Xin asked Xi Muzhen "what is love"?

Xi Muzhen blushed and shook his head again and again.

She is only fifteen years old now, and she hasn't... thought about it.

Shen Xin asked Yang Bo from Man Research Club again, and Yang Bo's answer made him even more speechless.

"Soft and bouncy."

Nonsence! You bastard, have you read too many books?

After pondering over and over again, Shen Xin could only bite the bullet, imitate the comics she had read, and draw the name.

It happened in a certain high school. A certain introverted boy fell in love with a certain girl, but he didn't express it because of his personality.

After the high school graduation trip, everyone will soon go their separate ways. The boy mustered up his courage and prepared to confess his love to the girl on this trip.

With the help of his friends, the boy had a chance to be alone with the girl, but after buying a drink, he found that the heroine was not waiting for him at the separated place.

The boy searched all the way, and finally found the girl in a nearby grove, but the girl confessed to another boy...

At the end of the story, the hero and heroine were not able to be together - this is the resentment from the single dog.

Shen Xin spent a whole day drawing the name of the story, and Xi Muzhen, who came home from school, was fortunate to be the first reader.

"How is it?" Shen Xin looked at Xi Muzhen with expectant eyes.

"Hmm... the whole thing is good, but it doesn't look perfect." Xi Muzhen gave an evaluation after carefully reading the name.

really……

"But that's the reality, not everything is perfect,

Getting rejected by your crush is a part of life. "Shen Xin spread out her hands, ready to start preaching.

"Brother Xin, you misunderstood. What I said is not perfect, it is based on this story, and this story is too taken for granted, without waves." Xi Muzhen said seriously.

Hit the nail on the head!

Before time travel, some readers commented on his novels in this way.

"For example..." At this moment, Shen Xin looked like a studious student, looking forward to Xi Muzhen's explanation.

"The girl accepted the boy's courtship, but in fact, the girl has always liked the boy..."

"This story is not as good as mine." Shen Xin immediately commented.

"I haven't finished yet—at the graduation ceremony, the girl fainted suddenly and was sent to the hospital, but was told that she was terminally ill. That's how the boy went with the girl for the last journey. How? Is there any twists and turns?" Xi Muzhen looked at Shen Xin expectantly.

"...The plot is bloody, do you watch too many Korean dramas?" Shen Xin looked at Xi Muzhen angrily.

"I haven't watched it, but my classmates have been nagging in my ears... Brother Xin, you know so well, do you often watch it?" Xi Muzhen asked curiously.

Hehe... If I draw like this, name will be killed immediately.

However, Xi Muzhen's words reminded Shen Xin that short comics must have "inheritance and transformation", and the name still needs to be changed.

No...it's a big change.

Shen Xin returned to the studio again, put the name on the drawing board, took out a dozen blank papers, and re-drawed the name.

These two days, Shen Xin put all her energy into name. If it wasn't for Xi Muzhen taking the time to cook two meals for him, it is estimated that Shen Xin would spend all day with instant noodles.

The classmates in the university also felt that Shen Xin was mysterious and secretive in the past two days, and she didn't see anyone all day long.

Shen Xin didn't care about these, he had to come up with the best name in the shortest possible time, on the one hand to seize this opportunity, on the other hand, it was also a counterattack to Wang Wenhong.

After two days of busy work, the final version of the name was finally drawn, and Shen Xin didn't care about taking a break. After checking that it was correct, she put the name in the file bag.

The editorial office of Weekly New World is located on the 33rd and 34th floors of Huamao Building in the city center.

Shen Xin went directly to the front desk on the 33rd floor and explained her intentions.

"Do you have an appointment?" the front desk lady asked politely.

"some."

Before coming, Shen Xin communicated with Yan Cong.

"Please wait a moment." The front desk picked up the phone, talked to the editorial department for a while, and then said to Shen Xin, "Please register first, and then enter from the left passage, the reception room is at the end, editor Yan and others It will pass in a moment."

After Shen Xin registered, she walked into the corridor on the left.

One side of the corridor is a wall, and the other side is a frosted glass wall, and people can barely be seen. There are many posters on both sides, some comics are slightly famous, most of them are not famous.

This is also something that can’t be helped. "Weekly New World" is considered a first-tier magazine in Yunhai City, but it can only be ranked in the third tier nationwide. Compared with the top "Weekly Comic Futura" with a single volume of 5 million, the gap is not ordinary Therefore, the reputation of the pillar of "Weekly New World" in China is not as good as that of "Weekly Comic Futura" with a medium level of comics.

Shen Xin had just walked to the door, and before she had time to knock on the door, a girl with a ball head came out, she was taken aback when she saw Shen Xin, "Who are you looking for?"

"Find editor Yan." Shen Xin said.

"Oh, you're Shen Xin? Wait a minute, you'll wait in the living room, I'll call her for you." "Banzitou" pointed to the small compartment on one side and said.

Shen Xin was at a loss, he seemed to have never been here before, right? How does anyone know his name? And judging from what "Banzitou" said, she seemed to have heard of him a long time ago.

Unable to figure out the reason, Shen Xin could only find a seat to sit down first.

The so-called living room is just a small cubicle separated by frosted glass walls. The space is not large, and only a round table and two chairs can be accommodated.

The main function of this compartment is to facilitate the discussion of names between editors and cartoonists.

Shen Xin put the document on the table, and just after finishing it, Yan Yan walked into the cubicle with two paper cups in his hand, and put one of the paper cups in front of Shen Xin, the strong smell of coffee came over his face.

"Okay, let me take a look at your name?" Yan Qu said seriously after sitting down.
