Chapter 79: The Crazy Chen Zijiao

After returning home, Shen Xin re-read this post. In addition to the five full-page color pictures posted by the host, several people commented on the illustrations.

"Judging from these illustrations, it should be the male protagonist confessing to the female protagonist at the pier. Generally speaking, coloring pages are a bonus item for comics, but in the scene of this episode, coloring pages are easy to lose points.

"Because the male protagonist chooses the confession time at night, it is more appropriate to use black and white comics for such a scene. The dot paper can complement the picture very well, but it is difficult to achieve this effect in color pages. The night sky is similar to the color of hair, even if it is right. If the hair is left blank, it will be easily confused with the border of the background.

"But the author of this comic used the light of the street lamp to isolate the night sky from the characters, so the shortcomings just now no longer exist, and the colors have a high degree of distinction..."

The respondent named "Amy" basically expressed what Shen Xin was thinking.

The story of Chapter 17 takes place at night. Black and white comics use dot paper to show the gray and black color difference, which separates the night sky from the characters.

But color page comics are not the case. The night sky is mostly black, so the advantages of color comics will disappear.

In order to make good use of the coloring page, Shen Xin recomposed this episode, using the light from the street lamps to show the delicate colors.

I didn't expect this netizen named "Amy" to be so serious. Moreover, from the comments of the netizen below, it is not difficult to see that this person is also a cartoonist, but his identity was not revealed in the comments.

The speeches of Amy and several subsequent cartoonists made "Y's" popular in the "Manjia.com" forum.

The next day, someone posted a post related to "Shaky", but there were very few onlookers. Finally, this post also imitated the hot post of "Y's", and found several cartoonists to promote "Shaky".

However, "Shaky" is not a coloring page. In the eyes of these senior comic fans, it does not show much technical content in terms of mirroring, composition, and even painting, and the only plot that can be obtained is also there. loophole.

As a result, the posts of "Y's" became more and more popular, while the posts of "Shaky" were ignored.

Chen Zijiao was furious, wishing to argue with these people in person, but was stopped by Wang Wenhong.

theory? How theory? What others say is the truth, you really can't explain it, a martial arts master will be discovered by a security guard.

"The outcome between you and Shen Xin will depend on the next few episodes... There will also be an autograph session, a total of three episodes. What you need to do now is to draw the next episode of comics to attract readers." Wang Wenhong comforted patiently road.

Wang Wenhong finally left Chen Zijiao's studio, just turned around, but was stopped by Qiao Yu again.

"Editor Wang...what's the situation with my short comics?"

Looking at Qiao Yu's expectant face, Wang Wenhong didn't dare to say that the short comic was "on the street", so he patted Qiao Yu's shoulder twice in embarrassment.

"The comics are very good, but the audience is relatively narrow. You should consider the 'Royal Way' comics a little bit? Hot-blooded comics like "Hunting Abyss" are easy to attract attention."

Suddenly, Qiao Yu opened her mouth slightly, her heart was cold.

After the coloring page of Chapter 17, Shen Xin's work flow finally returned to normal, and both her physical and energy got a short rest.

On the Internet, readers started a heated discussion about the latest episode of "Y's".

"Iori seems to have rejected Yi Gui's confession."

"Ah... the evil Mr. Shen, can't you consider the reader's mood?"

"See clearly, Yizhi didn't refuse, she just thought Yigui was telling a ghost story, so she covered her ears before Yigui confessed."

"Yi Gui is also trying to die. When confessing, he even said, 'From a long time ago...',

The two of them were at the pier, the moon was high and the sky was dark, and there was no sound. It was indeed easy for people to misunderstand. "

"Learn a hand, and when you confess in the future, you must avoid this situation."

"Tumbling" is also getting better, Ximen Yao is misunderstood by friends, except for the heroine Xiao Yuqian, everyone else wants Ximen Yao to submit. Forced and helpless, Ximenyao could only walk over the wall, and at the same time made up his mind to find the real murderer.

With the development of the story, the plot has a little "blood".

Many readers began to expect that Ximen Yao would shine in the next chapter and find out the murderer, and the evaluation of "Shaky" gradually began to rise.

Shen Xin had to admire Wang Wenhong and Chen Zijiao's determination to use such a story at the most critical moment.

Of course, "Crime and Punishment" is still the most popular now. The sales of a single volume in the first week reached 300,000 copies, making it the best-selling work in recent times.

Perhaps affected by the "manjia.com" post, the sales volume of the first volume of "Y's" has also shown an increasing trend. sound.

In the end, the president made a decision. In the next issue of the magazine, not only will the second volume of "Y's" be promoted, but if someone buys the first and second volumes of "Y's" by mail, there will be a 5% discount.

The atmosphere in the entire Yunhai comics market is becoming more and more tense. In Yunhai City, the confrontation between "Shaky" and "Y's" is gradually heating up. The salesmen of the two magazines also began to compete openly and secretly in order to seize the profitable stalls. , tried every means to block the opponent's promotional poster.

In the end, Shakedown, with its release date ahead, prevailed.

On January 20th, the second volume of "Faltering" was officially released. Chen Zijiao, in high spirits, came to the Roaming Bookstore with Wang Wenhong and the staff of the sales department.

The bookstore put up a banner—Mr. Long Xishui's signature book sale.

When Chen Zijiao saw this banner, his cheeks felt slightly hot. "Dragon Playing in the Water" was printed on the cover of the book and he didn't feel much, but it was written on the banner. It really looked like a second grade. He had to behave naturally in front of the readers, which was really tiring. .

He's not good at faking it.

"Excuse me, is this the original work of Teacher Su Han?"

The boy at the front was holding the newly published "Shaky" with doubts written all over his face.

"That's right." Chen Zijiao's eyelids twitched.

This is not his reader, but Su Han's.

"Why didn't Teacher Su come?"

"Are you going to promote "Crime and Punishment"?" Chen Zijiao patiently signed his pen name on the title page of the manga.

"Then why are "Punishment" and "Shaky" released together? Can't you invite her over?" the boy asked.

"Next... next time."

These words squeezed out from between Chen Zijiao's teeth.

"Oh, then I'll buy two more next time."

Chen Zijiao was so angry that he almost vomited blood, did this guy deliberately come to anger him?

Wang Wenhong quickly sent him a bottle of mineral water to calm him down.

Since he is already sitting here, he is a public figure, so he must pay attention to his image.

Chen Zijiao also knew the importance of this autograph session, so he held back his breath and asked the second reader to come over.

Writing down his name smoothly, Chen Zijiao handed the book to the reader.

"Hello, I am your loyal reader."

"Thank you for your support." Chen Zijiao felt relieved, he still had readers.

"I have a question I want to ask you."

"Um?"

"Why is your pen name 'Long Xishui'?"

"..."

Chen Zijiao is a little crazy, can he sign happily?
