Chapter 68: Shen Xin's Thoughts
After carefully reading the manuscript brought by Lu Ning, Shen Xin was silent for a long time.
"I've also read her original manuscript. Generally speaking, if it's dealing with dots and blackening, it's completely fine." Yan Fei felt a little headache, and she hoped that Shen Xin wouldn't affect her judgment because of what happened just now.
Lu Ning lowered her head and remained silent. Her current mood was more of guilt.
Being misunderstood by her for such a long time, and even slapping Shen Xin across the face, this... It's hard for ordinary people to forgive her.
Alas, it was so reckless, I really wanted to dig a hole and get in.
The more she thought about it, the more guilty Lu Ning felt.
"I want to ask, do you want to switch to juvenile manga?" Shen Xin gently put the manuscript on the table.
"That's right." Lu Ning nodded, mustered up her courage, and looked at Shen Xin.
"To be honest, it's hard to turn around." Shen Xin said.
There are not no female cartoonists who draw juvenile comics, such as Takahashi Rumiko (Inuyasha), Arakawa Hiroshi (Steel Refining), Hoshino Katsura (Exorcist Boy), etc. The juvenile comics drawn by these female cartoonists are even better than Judas Some male cartoonists have better works, but this does not mean that all female cartoonists are suitable for shonen manga.
"Is it the painting style?" Lu Ning asked urgently.
"The painting style is a problem. Judging from this manuscript, your painting style is narrow. This is true. Although every character is gorgeous, you can't portray different types of characters. The more important point is the name. The name of shounen manga is different from that of shoujo manga, or even boys' love manga. It emphasizes the continuity between separations. In shounen manga, an excellent name can understand the story without reading the lines.
"But girl comics are different. The style of this type of comics is more gorgeous and delicate, and readers' attention is easier to focus on the characters and lines, and the connection between characters is not as good as in boy comics.
"Generally, hot-blooded juvenile comics emphasize the connection between frames, and the dialogue is also required to be concise, so that readers will not be affected by the lines when reading. Of course, there are exceptions, such as reasoning comics Or sports comics, because reasoning and appropriate explanations are required, so this type of comics will also have a lot of lines.”
Shen Xin hadn't said so many words for a long time, and after she finished speaking, her tongue was dry, Xi Muhan immediately handed the tea in front of her to Shen Xin.
Yan Fei glanced at Shen Xin dissatisfied, what she said was so scary, what should I do if I scare Lu Ning away?
Xi Muhan was also slightly nervous.
Lu Ning lowered her head and thought carefully, and it took about a minute before she made up her mind.
"I... I understand what you said, but I still want to work hard. I'm still in school... I think, except for classes, I will stay here and study. I don't know if you agree."
Yan Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It is also a learning process for an assistant to work as a cartoonist. It's just that during this period, the cartoonist needs to be responsible for the assistant's work expenses, and at the same time, he can also give instructions to the assistant.
"I see, I'll leave it to you next time." Shen Xin said simply.
"Sister Lu, you're back again." Xi Muhan grabbed Lu Ning's hand tightly, which made Lu Ning feel embarrassed and apologized again for his recklessness.
When the matter of Lu Ning came to an end, Yan Fei also turned her attention to the little fat man outside the door.
Judging from the fact that the little fat man greeted her when he saw her just now, he should know her, but she didn't have the slightest impression.
"Who is the little fat man outside?"
"Him? If you don't believe it, he is an assistant who took the initiative to seek refuge and mainly draws the background."
"Huh? I ran for a long time to find a suitable assistant. Why did someone come to you while you were sitting in the studio?" Yan Fei couldn't figure it out.
"Do you know who he is?" Shen Xin said.
"do not know.
"
"The assistant before "Faltering", responsible for the background...By the way, Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying are also staying with Chen Zijiao." Shen Xin's lips curled up slightly.
This is unexpected information.
"It really is him." Yan Fei clenched her fists.
"You know?" Shen Xin asked.
"Well, Xiaoli said that she heard that Wang Wenhong had inquired about Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying. The editor-in-chief went to investigate, but she never gave any information." Yan Fei was a little emotional.
Yunhai's circle is so big, it is impossible to verify the authenticity of this matter after two days.
Shen Xin snorted coldly.
The two magazines were privately hostile to each other, but on the surface they hadn't officially broken their faces, and it was impossible for the two assistants to make the whole thing a big deal.
It's just that there are some things...you can't do whatever you want.
"Do you believe him? He came from Chen Zijiao, what if he came to inquire about information?" Yan Fei asked.
"Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying had no contact with Chen Zijiao before, but they were also poached?" Shen Xin asked.
"Too."
No one can explain things like people clearly.
"If you're really worried, you can do one thing." Shen Xin said.
"whats the matter?"
"Gao Hang is the little fat guy outside. He said that because of his falling out with Chen Zijiao, some cartoonists rejected him as an assistant. If this is true, then there is no big problem."
If he really knew how to act like this, even if he was fooled, Shen Xin would admit it.
Yan Fei nodded slightly, "I'll go back and ask Xiaoli to ask."
It was decided that Lu Ning would be the assistant.
Pushing open the door of the reception room, Gao Hang also stood up immediately, and handed the painted background to Shen Xin.
Shen Xin looked it over carefully, and it was generally acceptable, but in terms of detail, there was a difference, not as good as Ruan Ying.
Considering that this is Gao Hang's first time drawing the background of "Y's", it is quite good to be able to draw it like this.
"It's a pass. But I need a better assistant for the painter. Tomorrow will not involve the drawing of the original manuscript. I hope you can familiarize yourself with the background of "Y's" tomorrow. There is a booklet of "Y's" in the reception room. Tomorrow's You'll be paid, probably not as much as Shakedown, so I hope you're prepared."
It's not that Shen Xin deliberately lowered the price.
Since Chen Zijiao was able to poach Ruan Ying, it means that he paid a large sum of money, but Shen Xin didn't know how much the money was, so he couldn't follow suit. At the same time, Gao Hang's level was indeed not as good as Ruan Ying's. Too high, but not cost-effective.
"You don't need to give me money before drawing the original manuscript. The reason why I came here is not only to find a job, but also because I hope that "Y's" can defeat "Shaky". I...even if I'm just an assistant, I still have dignity." Gao Hang raised his head and said.
Yan Fei was taken aback, she didn't expect Gao Hang to be so determined.
He seemed... also a good choice.
"Mr. Shen, what are you going to do next?" Yan Fei asked.
"Since all the assistants have been found, let's 'declare war'!"
Since it's not easy for magazines to tear each other up, Shen Xin can only use her own way to solve the problem.
