Chapter 195 Name
Wang Wenhong wiped the sweat from his forehead, he seemed to have oversimplified Shen Xin's cartoon.
Some comics are mainly based on imagination, such as "The Legend of the Dragon King" or "The Hunting Abyss", the author only needs to check some textual materials at most. And some comics require field trips and even visits to professionals.
When "ys" was drawn, I went to Yunhai No. 1 Middle School to take pictures, so some of the backgrounds in it are still talked about by people until now.
Shen Xin's second comic seems to be more than that, and even visits dojos and professional chess players.
However, it is necessary to do this if you want to draw a sense of reality.
"Then... I'll go to Mr. Shang. If there is any news about this, I'll come over and contact you immediately." Wang Wenhong took a breath.
"Well, please." Shen Xin nodded.
As I said before, the first chapter of a serial comic is usually longer, at least a complete story, and it can also lead to the following, and generally speaking, the number of pages of each chapter will jump around a number. The first chapter is about 50 pages, and the second chapter is about 20 pages. If there are special circumstances, there will be about ten pages of comics.
The first chapter of "Soul of Chess" is still 50 pages, including two cover pages, the second and third chapters are 21 pages and 23 pages respectively, and the characters that appear in addition to Shindo Hikari and Taya Ryo, Ogata Seiji, Toya Yukihiro, and Shinto Hikari's childhood friend Fujisaki Akira, the names of these people still have to be changed.
After completing the character design, Shen Xin also began to draw the name on the A4 paper.
Since she doesn't know the chess records, Shen Xin ignores the chess records and simply draws a chessboard. After finding a professional chess player, she will make supplements.
Of course, he can use the chess records used in "Soul of Chess", but there will be a situation. If the work becomes popular, others will definitely be interested in his chess skills, and it will be revealed when they ask.
Although it is cumbersome to find a chess player and hire a consultant, but when encountering problems related to Go, Shen Xin can refer them to the consultant, so the consultant is still needed.
The name this time is the same as "ys", Shen Xin draws the name himself based on the content of "Soul of Chess".
One of the reasons is that Shen Xin wants to exercise her ability to draw names, so that she won't be too confused when encountering original content in the future. The second reason is that due to the different background of the story, he has to make some changes to "Soul of Chess". Using the name of "Soul of Chess" is not the best choice, and it may become more chaotic as it is used.
The names of the three chapters add up to more than 90 pages, and it took Shen Xin two days to complete the name.
During this period of time, Wang Wenhong also purchased all the furniture. In addition to the workbench and bookshelves, a sofa was placed in the living room on the second floor. When there are outsiders, Shen Xin can sit down and talk with them here.
"Huh... for now, is it okay?" Wang Wenhong pointed to the downstairs and said.
Shen Xin came to the fence and took a look around. Except that the curtains were not installed, there were almost no problems.
"Look back, you can contact the owner of the house and ask him to install the curtains." Shen Xin said.
He just rented the house, just bought furniture and all that, no problem at all. But if you want to change the wall, you still have to ask the homeowner.
"No problem." Wang Wenhong made an "ok" gesture.
Shen Xin turned around and picked up an envelope from the table,
Handed it over to Wang Wenhong, "Please take a look at the names of the first three episodes."
"Huh? So fast?" Wang Wenhong said in surprise, and took the envelope, which contained a thick name, which felt indescribably solid.
"After I decided to draw this comic, I have been thinking about the name of the comic, so I drew the picture in my mind as soon as I finished setting the characters." Shen Xin said casually.
Wang Wenhong nodded, went to the sofa on the second floor, rubbed his hands, and his face showed an excited look.
"It's been a year and a half, and I finally became the first person to see Teacher Shen's name."
"That's your fault too."
"You have eyes, but you don't have a pearl, right? In the end, I still have to thank Yan Fei, otherwise, the loss will be great." Wang Wenhong couldn't wait to pull out the name from the envelope.
"That's because Sister Yan is great, so what's your business?" Shen Xin teased.
"It's none of my business... Cough cough, of course it's none of my business... If it wasn't for Yan Fei, I wouldn't have had the chance to be your editor." Wang Wenhong coughed dryly and looked down at the name, ""Soul of Chess"? The name is very good."
Shen Xin nodded.
"Soul of Chess" is actually a free translation, and the Japanese original meaning is "Chess of Light".
However, the word "soul of chess" tells the center of the story, which further enhances Zuowei's status and at the same time has the feeling of Go inheritance.
"'The Master of Chess Is Coming'..." Wang Wenhong read the title of the first chapter, but his eyes turned to the story below.
A little boy with light-colored hair in the front and dark-colored hair in the back is lying on his stomach looking for things in the room, and a little girl is standing behind him. On the last frame of the first page, the little boy found a square box.
The first episode is nothing special.
Wang Wenhong turned to the next page, suddenly there were two cover pages, the double page was the man in ancient costume set by Shen Xin a few days ago, the single page was the two children who appeared in the first chapter, the little girl stood with her hands behind her back, and the little boy Then the sunspot holding Go will be placed on the chessboard.
"Huh? Teacher Shen, did you use a double page on the cover page of the first chapter?" Wang Wenhong asked in surprise.
"Yes." Shen Xin nodded.
Generally speaking, comics published in magazines should pay attention to single and double pages.
The first page of a manuscript is, of course, a single page, the second a double page, and so on. The double page is on the left side of the magazine, and the single page is on the right side of the magazine. When the content appears across pages, the left and right sides are just a complete picture, which can shock readers to the greatest extent.
The binding line of District 11 magazine is on the right side of the book, so the order of flipping the book is exactly the opposite of that of Huaxia Magazine, which is another situation.
Page spreads rarely appear in comics. This is almost equivalent to the ultimate move of the characters in the game. It cannot be used easily. Once used, it must be rewarded.
The first page is about two children looking for something in a room. After turning over, it is a double page, which makes people feel unexpected.
"Mr. Shen, your name is quite interesting." Wang Wenhong exclaimed.
"Just keep looking down." Shen Xin said with a light smile.
Wang Wenhong took a deep breath and continued to look down.
The box that the little boy got was actually a Go board. The boy wanted to exchange the Go board for some money. During the process of wiping, he suddenly found a blood mark on the board, but the little girl couldn’t see it at all. At the same time, voices rang in the little boy's ears.
Although he only read the first few pages, Wang Wenhong's attention was attracted. He couldn't wait to turn to the next page. A man in ancient costume with a folding fan appeared behind the little boy.
Zuo Wei's appearance immediately aroused Wang Wenhong's interest. He couldn't wait to turn over the name of the first episode, read three episodes in a row, and then slowly put down the name.
I can't stop thinking about it.
