Chapter 637: Attitude and Intention

After Shen Xin's arm recovered roughly, she also started formal drawing and drafting, but because she had a stomach to feed, there was a strict limit on the working hours.

This point is "checked" by Xi Muhan himself.

Currently, Shen Xin's condition is not serious, and he can still be "rescued", but if he is not careful, it may be with him for the rest of his life.

Even if Shen Xin doesn't care, Xi Muhan must take it seriously.

After the three assistants got the line draft drawn by Shen Xin, they also started to draw the original draft.

The follow-up plot of "Steel Refining", almost every episode is more than 40 pages, and they need some time to get used to it.

Facts have proved that it is not impossible for three people to complete 40 pages in one week, but the time is really too tight. However, after Zhang Ziyue joined, the workload of the three people has been reduced a lot, and the drawing speed has also been significantly accelerated.

However, there is still a big difference between the digital screen and the real paper. In terms of intuitive feeling, it is the feeling of the pen falling on the paper, which is different from the feeling of the pressure-sensitive pen falling on the display screen. The strength of the lines is not easy to grasp. In addition, due to the different principles of the two, it is difficult to produce strokes when drawing with a pressure-sensitive pen.

For Zhang Ziyue, who paints with a dip pen all the year round, it really takes some time for him to get used to it. That is to say, after Zhang Ziyue fully adapts, the efficiency of the studio can be improved again in the next period of time.

In comparison, Liu Ruoxing was better than Zhang Ziyue. She is very familiar with digital screens, and she is much smoother than Zhang Ziyue when drawing.

However, this still cannot cover up her shortcomings of weak basic skills.

Now that the time is not tight, Shen Xin didn't let Liu Ruoxing join in the drawing of the original manuscript, but let him practice alone.

Liu Ruoxing is only 20 years old now, and he is still very malleable. Once he develops bad drawing habits, it will be too late to change them.

There is a good saying, "Sharpening a knife does not make a woodcutter by mistake", first lay the foundation first.

Liu Ruoxing also understood what Shen Xin meant, and painted with a dip pen every day, and her work intensity was no weaker than that of others.

She has only one idea now, she must stay.

Wang Wenhong pushed open the door of the office, and the cool air from the air conditioner blew in, making him feel refreshed. He wiped the sweat from his brow, and with two books under his arm, he passed by the busy Gao Hang and others, and climbed up to the second floor.

Knowing that Wang Wenhong came up, Shen Xin didn't look away from the screen, and continued to draw the line draft until Wang Wenhong came to him, then raised her head and asked, "How is it? Did you gain anything?"

Wang Wenhong pulled a chair and put the books on the table.

"Actually, you should be able to guess that they are here to poach people." Wang Wenhong took out a piece of paper and wiped the sweat off his face.

Shen Xin curled her lips, "What do the people over there say?"

"We all know that you still have a contract with "ComicFuture", what can they say?" Wang Wenhong shrugged, "However, they are very interested in the future cooperation. Mr. Shen, you don't really want to cooperate with these magazines. Sign the contract?"

A few days ago, Qian Sheng from Duoman.com went to Wang Wenhong for a cup of coffee. Within two days, the editor-in-chief of "MangaFly" also sent him an invitation letter, inviting him to a meal. He asked for some news.

"Look at the conditions."

"If you agree to the two conditions we mentioned, are you really going to sign?"

"Sign, why don't you sign?" Shen Xin put down her pen and leaned against the back of the chair, "But you should also understand that I can't draw too many at the same time, at most one monthly magazine and one weekly magazine, otherwise, I won't be able to bear it. "

"Yes." Wang Wenhong took a deep breath.

In fact, he also feels the same way. Instead of creating too many low-quality comics, it is better to create one or two comics.

In Shen Xin's current position, the word "stability" is the most important. The reason why he can stand at the top of domestic comics is the quality of his works.

Why can Shen Xin put forward conditions to "ComicFuture" now? After all, because of the precipitation of the two works "Steel Refining" and "Soul of Chess",

Let him have confidence.

Therefore, next week's results for more cartoons, not to mention being comparable to "Steel Refining", at least in terms of word-of-mouth and sales, must be a level ahead of other domestic cartoonists, otherwise, the expectations of other magazines for Shen Xin will definitely drop. At that time, Shen Xin has no capital to negotiate terms.

The operation of the entire studio relies on the word "Shen Zheng". Once someone approaches or even surpasses Shen Xin, it will be difficult for Shen Xin to negotiate conditions with other magazines.

Slow work and careful work, at most one month, one week, no more.

This is Wang Wenhong's bottom line.

"Zhou Geng kept it in his hand?"

"Yeah." Shen Xin nodded, "The negotiation between me and "ComicFuture" is not over yet."

For Shen Xin, the best platform is "ComicFuture".

Maybe online comics will be popular in the future, but paper comics will not disappear, and may instead become a sign of the quality of comics—only when comics reach a certain level can they have a chance to be published.

Just like the online novels on Earth, all works that can be published by regular publishing houses are all high-quality works.

Therefore, "ComicFuture" is definitely the first choice.

In addition, Shen Xin still had a small idea in mind. Compared with "ComicFuture", Duoman.com was only at a slight disadvantage. Next year's "Golden Paintbrush Award" will be in the voting competition stage, and the momentum is gradually rising. It is estimated that "ComicFuture" will also be affected.

If he jumps to Duoman.com, Ye Hexu will follow him in a flash of enthusiasm, and the domestic comics may become a monopoly.

The two big platforms compete, and in order to win over creators and give more discounts, cartoonists can survive better. If the balance is broken and one platform holds the right to speak, the cartoonists will suffer.

He wants a certain amount of creative freedom, but he can't overthrow the dinner table of other cartoonists because of this.

"If that's the case, I understand..." Wang Wenhong rubbed his chin, "I will have a serious talk with them."

Shen Xin nodded, glanced at the table, and saw that the two books Wang Wenhong had placed just now turned out to be foreign language textbooks, one in Japanese and one in English.

"Brother Wang, why have you started learning foreign languages?" Shen Xin laughed.

"See what you said." Wang Wenhong glared at Shen Xin angrily, "Didn't you have no time before? Of course I'm busy now, but the environment is different, and the problems I face are also different."

"Hey, that makes sense. However, I can understand you learning Japanese, why did you pick up English again?"

"You don't know that, do you? "Smelting Steel" has already gained a lot of popularity in the United States, and Europe is currently the third and fourth place. Maybe there will be 'business' in the future." Wang Wenhong laughed.

Already popular in the West?

Shen Xin was also taken aback for a moment.

According to his understanding, "Smelting Steel" not only has a very high evaluation in the West, but also has a high degree of attention, and the degree of praise has been ranked among the top three all year round.

Considering that the animation has only been released for about 1/3, and word-of-mouth is still brewing, it should not be the upper limit of "Smelting Steel".

"Smelting Steel" has not been released as a single book in the United States and Europe, nor has it been released as an animation. The reason why it is well known to Westerners is definitely inseparable from the D version.

Will "Smelting Steel" accidentally open overseas markets because of this?

Shen Xin leaned against the back of the chair, lost in thought.
