Chapter 294 0294, If the East Is Dark, the West Will Be Bright (1)

Yunfeng's new comic "Fullmetal Alchemist" had good sales on the first day, and was even the best among the comics that had been released. However, starting from the second day, sales fell seriously.

This caused heated discussions in the comics circle.

Comic fans:

"Oh, this year will only end in nearly three months. Judging from the current situation, Yunfeng will lose in the 'Comic Annual Voting' again."

"It's a pity that the three comics "Slam Dunk", "Wind and Cloud II" and "The Little Master of China" have laid such a good foundation in the first, second and third quarters."

"I feel like there are too many updates. Those comics can be serialized in another company for a year or two."

"This time we have really fallen off the altar. It also fully demonstrates that high output cannot guarantee high quality."

"It's not certain who will win. "Fullmetal Alchemist" only has three volumes, the upper, middle and lower volumes. It will be finished by the end of this month at the latest. I'll leave it at this. There will definitely be new comics released in November and December. ”

…

Peers:

"I personally think that this "Fullmetal Alchemist" is better than his previous comics. This is the comic with the most complete plot and the least logical flaws that I have ever seen. It has a novel setting, rich characters, and great battles. Intense, full of humanity and educational significance, it can be called a 'masterpiece'."

"Readers only saw the evil side of human nature revealed by the 'synthetic beasts', but did not see the good side of human nature displayed by the 'Elric Brothers'. Human nature is not divided into good and evil, it is just selfishness."

"There is no halo of the protagonist. If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. This is what I love. It may not be a blockbuster comic, but it will definitely be a successful comic."

"He first established a simple and easy-to-understand rule of equivalent exchange, and then broke it to tell you that the world is not that simple. Everyone has worked hard and worked hard, unwilling to be left behind, but there are a few people who can stand out. ? The day when you can truly achieve success and get what you want?"

"The plot structure is compact and does not drag out. Basically every scene serves the plot. The most charming one depicted is the bond between the 'Elric brothers'. This is the same-sex emotion that he is best at depicting. Just like the life-and-death friendship of 'Feng Yun Brothers', in addition to the portrayal of emotions, there is also a very broad discussion around psychology, philosophy, chemistry, etc. "

…

Comic fans don't applaud it, but colleagues applaud it. This is a situation that is rarely seen.

Could it be that this is the so-called "applause but not popularity"?

At this time, there is Xianqi Company.

Yunfeng looked at the one-week sales curve for the first volume and the 24-hour sales curve for the second volume of "Fullmetal Alchemist" that Zheng Rong brought. He looked helpless and could only sigh.

Readers didn’t buy it, and even many of my own comic fans didn’t buy it.

He didn't think of any way to save the declining sales, so he could only hope that the reputation would pick up after it was completed.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door.

Yunfeng closed the folder, placed it on the information shelf on his desk, and said, "Come in."

"Master." Cao Mengmeng came over with a tablet computer.

Today is a teaching day.

Yunfeng treated this apprentice very wholeheartedly.

He collected himself and began to think about what to talk about today.

Cao Mengmeng’s painting skills don’t require much guidance, so let’s continue talking about plot development and inspiration transformation.

Yunfeng coughed lightly and said, "Let's start now. Let's talk about the plot first."

Cao Mengmeng nodded, holding the tablet in one hand and the stylus in the other, ready to take notes.

Yunfeng organized his speech and said: "There are four common ways for the plot to unfold. First, the protagonist changes from weak to strong; second, he is alone at the beginning, but later he has many partners around him, and finally becomes a force; third, The heart is closed at first, and then gradually opens up; fourth, I hate someone at first, but then I like it instead.”

Cao Mengmeng: "..."

She belongs to a type of comic book author who is poor at developing plots. At this moment, she felt that the points mentioned by the master are also in the book. She has read them not a hundred but eighty times, but what should she do if she doesn't use them well?

Somewhat helpless.

Yunfeng paused and then said: "Next, I will explain it one by one. Method 1 is a common routine in most passionate animations, especially "Legend of Nine Realms". The protagonist is very powerful at the beginning. Weak, even unable to defeat the ordinary people around him, but fortunately, he has the bug-like cultivation magic weapon of the Demonic Sacred Tree in his body, coupled with the strong bloodline of the Jiang family and Ji family, in the later stage, the protagonist will naturally be the core of the story. Already..."

As she listened, Cao Mengmeng suddenly had a strange feeling - I seemed to understand.

An idea flashed in his head.

She was writing quickly with the stylus in her hand, and an inspired essay was completed.

this……

A bit beyond her imagination.

Enlightenment at one point!

Could it be that he is also a genius like a master?

It's amazing.

I studied it countless times in private but still didn’t understand it. Now, I understand it after listening to the master’s lecture for a while.

Cao Mengmeng shook off the messy thoughts in her head, began to concentrate, and continued to listen carefully.

after an hour.

Yunfeng felt a little dry in his mouth. When he took the teapot, he found that there was no tea in it, so he said, "Take a rest."

Cao Mengmeng was very discerning and grabbed the teapot and said flatteringly: "Master, I'll do it."

The look in her eyes when she looked at Yunfeng completely changed, full of admiration.

During this hour, she only felt that her mind was getting clearer and clearer, and she was getting more and more enlightened. Many things that she had never understood or learned before, she suddenly understood after listening to Yunfeng's lecture.

Yunfeng reminded: "Just add half a pot of boiling water."

Cao Mengmeng nodded and said, "I understand, master."

She came to the water dispenser and saw that the water had not boiled yet, so she waited aside.

At the same time, I was also thinking about it in my mind.

Why did I suddenly become smarter?

She is actually very aware of her academic abilities, which were only average in school.

finally.

She thought about it and understood that the reason why she became enlightened was because the master taught well. The teaching from the shallower to the deeper, from the outside to the inside, allowed her to gradually clarify her thoughts and know how to unfold the plot and transform inspiration.

"Master is really amazing!"

this moment.

Cao Mengmeng admired Yunfeng very much. Not only was his cartooning skills high, but his ability to teach others was also extremely high.

She even felt that Yunfeng was better than the professors at the Academy of Fine Arts.

As everyone knows, Yunfeng is blessed with special skills [teacher: preaching, teaching, and solving doubts] to achieve such an effect.

Yunfeng in the office was unaware of Cao Mengmeng's various psychological activities outside.

He was pleasantly surprised now, feeling the magic of the special skills [Teacher·Preaching, Teaching, and Solving Conundrums].

Originally, he didn't have high hopes for Cao Mengmeng, because plot development and inspiration transformation are easy to talk about, but very difficult to apply in practice.

The result was unexpected. Cao Mengmeng not only understood it, but also applied it in practice.

The important thing is that just taking on one disciple now can have such an effect. If you take on a few more, the various abilities attached to the special skills [Teacher·Preaching, Teaching, Solving Puzzles] will be multiplied.

can not imagine……

When Cao Mengmeng came back from fetching water, Yunfeng talked for another hour.

Before I knew it, it was lunch time.

Just as Cao Mengmeng left, Zheng Rong opened the door and came in.

Yunfeng saw that he was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood, so he immediately asked: "Brother Zheng, what are you so happy about?"

Zheng Rong looked at him, smiled, and said slightly excitedly: "Now it's really 'when the east is not bright, the west is bright'."
