Chapter 1139: Which Is Better

Some people are dissatisfied with him, he can ignore it, even if that person contacts Uematsuno, Uematsuno may not respond.

But Shen Xin is different, whether the sales volume of a single line is good, or the ranking of manga books, he is at the same level as Uematsuno, and Uematsuno may pay attention to a random message.

Of course, there is also the possibility that Shen Xin will not ask Uematsuno, but there is always a risk.

It's not that he can't survive, there is no need to take this risk.

There may be a day when they will be exposed in the future, but as long as they are strong enough, even if they are exposed, it will not be a big deal.

There is even a possibility that if his work is good enough, Uematsuno will help him lie.

The premise is the work.

Wei Mao drew the original manuscript, but his mind was thinking about other things.

"Teacher Wei, the nae has been revised, take time to revise the follow-up nae." An elderly man over 6 years old handed the revised nae to Wei Mao.

Wei Mao turned around and took the nae. Since it was a typed draft, even if he modified the nae, he couldn't use it directly.

With the development of technology, he no longer needs to use the write-through table. In fact, he has not used it much. Instead, he directly scans the nae and uses sai to operate it.

The red pencil lines will outline the areas that need to be modified, and some grids that need to be merged are also specially marked.

For Wei Mao, this has greatly improved the quality of his work.

"Ms. Lu, can you read the manuscript for me?" Seeing that the old man was about to take off his glasses, Fei Xu immediately handed over his nae.

"you?"

The old man stared at Fei Xu for a moment, stared at him for four or five seconds, and still took nae.

Fei Xu heaved a sigh of relief.

The old man's name is Lu Yiming. Before retiring, he worked as an editor for 35 years. In his words, he has read more manuscripts than these newcomers have touched.

Fan Yinmo deliberately hired several retired old editors and asked them to check the works of the company's cartoonists, and Lu Yiming was one of them.

Not all cartoonists who have signed a contract with Fan Yinmo,

All are qualified to be exclusive editors, but they must have a certain reputation and bring a certain amount of income to the company before they will be assigned editors. This is also because the cartoonists in his hands mainly contribute to the second-tier websites, and the online stations will not assign experienced editors to the cartoonists. In order to ensure the quality of the cartoons, the copyright of the cartoons can be sold, and Fan Yinmo is also bloody .

The animation copyright of Full House has been sold, and the copyright of film and television series has also entered the final stage of discussion. Fan Yinmo made a lot of money, but these profits have nothing to do with Wei Mao.

As for Fei Xu, his manga has just been serialized, so whether he can be assigned his own editor depends on his performance, so after learning that Lu Yiming is coming, he ran over to try his luck.

The first few chapters of the manga are very important. If there is an opportunity to carve it out, he is definitely not willing to let it go.

Wei Mao took the nae, walked to the scanner, and scanned the nae page by page into pictures. While scanning, he was also flipping through the nae, and saw that the whole nae was strung together by nearly 1 grid, and his brows were slightly frowned.

As a cartoonist, Wei Mao hates being deleted. This feeling is similar to not being recognized, so he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Lu, why did you delete so many scenes?"

"I thought you didn't ask? The content is rambling, not simple enough. Either delete the content of these sub-frames, or extract the main plot and add it to other storyboards." Lu Yiming held a red pencil and looked down at Fei Xu. Handed nae.

Fei Xu was feeling sorry for Lu Yiming who altered a lot of his nae. Hearing Wei Mao's questioning, he also felt resentful. "Mr. is the most popular cartoonist in China now, so it is impossible to make so many mistakes in creation."

"Hmph, the hottest?" Lu Yiming sneered, without looking up, "You can just close the door and do it yourself. It's embarrassing to be like this in the circle."

"Then teacher, who is the most popular cartoonist?" Fei Xu asked bravely.

"Are you really ignorant, or are you just pretending to be stupid?" Lu Yiming took off his glasses and stared at Fei Xu, "If you think the comic circle is only around you, then just pretend I don't. Well, the comics created are all commercial comics, and income is the most important indicator to measure the performance of a comic. If the studio does not count the copyright income, the income of others in a single line is more than the studio’s monthly income. Don’t try to compete You are strong and eager to win, it doesn’t matter which cartoonist is popular, draw your own cartoons well, and get the results first.”

"Mr. Lu, don't forget that the studio also has tutors from Tianxia Wuyao and Demon King? These two comics are not vegetarian." Fei Xu retorted.

"These two are good comics. The combined volume of these two comics should have 130,000 volumes. If your count is not bad, you should know that the gap between 130,000 volumes and 50,000 volumes is really not an order of magnitude. I I have been an editor for 35 years, and I rarely see comics with more than 10,000 volumes in Huaxia and District 11. However, comics with an average volume of 600,000 to 700,000 volumes can still be seen often. You don’t need to like a certain one Comics, after all, everyone has different habits, but as a cartoonist, you have to recognize the achievements of a comic, even if you hate the comic.”

"Tch, s is not as good as Juan Jun, who is full of warmth." Fei Xu changed the subject.

Lu Yiming also put away his glasses this time, and looked up at Fei Xu, "I was holding back when I heard you say that just now. I didn't expect you to compare these two comics again. I'll ask you, do you know that S serialized The scene at that time?"

Seeing Lu Yiming's serious expression, Fei Xu was startled and quickly shook his head. He was less than one year old at that time, so how could he know the scene at that time.

"What a coincidence, I don't know either." Lu Yiming suddenly smiled.

This time even Wei Mao was surprised, "You don't know?"

When s was serialized, Wei Mao was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he hadn't read this comic when it was first serialized.

"That's right. This comic is serialized in the second-tier magazine Neld. Since the magazine is an entity, there is too much inventory backlog, and the magazine must lose money. In order to ensure the magazine's income, the sales volume of second-tier magazines is usually not as high as that of first-tier magazines. The target readers are mainly local readers, and many bookstores in other places do not sell them. I bought nerld, and this magazine is usually only sold in big bookstores like Jiman, and the number is not too much. Because Hongchuan’s comic magazines are too There are many, the competition is fierce, and if you don't pay attention, it is easy to leave inventory. If you want to buy nerld, sometimes you need luck.

"Now that online comics are popular, readers have more choices. They don't buy them as soon as they are released, but as long as they want to read them, they can still read them. When it comes to the second way to buy books, considering the postage, the price is a few yuan more expensive than the bookstore. At that time, even piracy was not developed, and many people had no chance to read this comic. How high can you sell it? "

"However, if the comics are really that good, it's impossible for the magazine not to publish animations, right? As long as the animations are produced, the sales of the comics will naturally go up." Fei Xu asked.

"The problem lies in the animation of s. Because the animation did not go well, Mr. Shen cut s in half. The animation that came out later was also after s was cut in half."

"Cut in half?" Fei Xu was startled, "Teacher, are you wrong? It should be cut in half by the magazine. How can a cartoonist cut in half the manga?"

Cartoonists take the initiative to cut comics? This kind of thing is unheard of.

Doesn't Shen Zheng want to make money?

"I seem to know something about this matter. It seems to be related to Mr. Shen's editor-in-chief. Because the magazine dismissed Mr. Shen's editor-in-chief on an unfounded charge, he cut S in half in a fit of anger." Wei Mao rubbed his chin. .

"Teacher, you know?" Fei Xu asked hastily.

"S was reupdated in Duoman after that. At that time, the reupdate of s was very discussed, so I checked the reason." Wei Mao explained.

"Online comics have changed the style of readers, but it also eliminates the situation that readers cannot buy or comics due to objective reasons. Compared with the two comics, the environment of s is even worse. Although it was updated later, it was only a year later. , and more importantly, since Duoman is an online comic platform, and s adopts a subscription model, in order to ensure the subscription volume of s, even after the end of s, Duoman did not release a large number of single lines of s, but only released the price Higher finished version. What's more, Teacher Wei Mao has also recorded 5 shows, which is a great advantage." Lu Yiming turned to look at Wei Mao, "Cartoonists are cartoonists after all, not stars."

"But" Wei Mao gritted his teeth and frowned, "I didn't take the initiative to record so many programs."

"Then you have thought about your future path, how do you go?" Lu Yiming asked back.

Suddenly, Wei Mao turned around and continued scanning nae.

Lu Yiming sighed. He is the editor of juvenile comics, but he also understands girl comics.

The level of Full House does not match its current achievements, but it does not mean that this is not a good comic. At least, it has all the highlights that a girl manga should have. The story is also a romantic manga with humor, which is easy to read. For those who have never read manga, the threshold is not high.

On the one hand, he is concentrating on polishing his works, and on the other hand, he is to become a star cartoonist standing in front of the stage. Wei Mao must have a choice.

It's just that star cartoonists can be copied, and the emergence of this model will make many newcomers impetuous. In the long run, it will not be a good thing for the comic circle.

As an old editor, he didn't want to see the comic circle become impetuous, but hoped that more good works would come out.

If you don't like comics from the bottom of your heart, how many people can be the editor in charge for 35 years?

The most awkward person in the room was Fei Xu.

His nae has only been changed in half, but Lu Yiming has already put away the flower mirror, so should he put away the nae, or continue to ask Lu Yiming to modify it?

Fei Xu himself didn't know.
